Description Andy 2009-07-18 15:04:28 UTC
Version:           1.11.4 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a problem where somebody sends me emails from both their phone and their laptop, and I am unable to easily search for both types of messages even though they are coming from the same account. The laptop emails have the From field set as "Joe Blow <joe@blow.com>" while the phone emails have the From field set as "joe@blow.com". I should be able to just to type in "joe@blow.com" in the quick search toolbar and get both sets of emails. Unfortunately, from what I can tell Kmail will only pick up the ones where the From is just the email address. I have to separately search "Joe Blow" in order to look at the other emails or use the Full Search feature, which obviously takes longer to set-up.

Please fix the quick search to also include the email address of full From names.
