Hi Jim....three ways you can do this....one way is to go to the Tools
menu and choose Advanced Find and search on the "From" field in there,
like Dian said.

Another way...within any folder, is to find one message from "Linda" and
click on it to select it, then click on the gray column heading in that
list that says "From" and the messages will be sorted by that field and
all the "Linda"s will be in one lump

Or, another way is to RIGHT click on a message from "Linda" and choose
Find All>Messages From Sender....which is what I do, since I'm a major
right clicker  :-)

Subject: [mso] Outlook FIND in FROM field question



Sometimes I want to gather in one view all of those messages that reside
in
my MSO-IN folder that are coming from (posted by) say "Linda".
If I do a FIND on "Linda" I frequently  get nothing (unless) "Linda"
appears
in the SUBJECT field. I have a clue as to why that happens.  What I see
in
my FROM field is not actually "Linda". It is Linda's indicator name and
does
not actually appear in the FROM address field.  It is something
constructed
by the mail list software. What is actually in the field is the mail
list
server address.  Is this correct?

My question is, How do I find messages posted by Linda using the Outlook
FIND?

Jim
