I am using Kmail 4.8.5 on a Fedora 16 x64 system. When I use Tools -> Find Messages to search for a string in the "From" lines in a local folder, it finds no matches. Searches on other parts of the messages succeed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools -> Find Messages 2. From contains Andy 3. Click "Search". 4. Other settings do not matter. Actual Results: The results window shows only column headings. No messages appear. Expected Results: I expected to find many messages from the specified sender. The same thing happens if I specify "Anywhere in headers" or "Complete message" instead of the "From" field. Kmail still does not find words or strings in the messages' From lines.
4.8.5 is outdated. We fixed a lot of bugs in 4.10. Please try to test with new version and reopen if bugs is still here. Thanks.
