I tried creating a new search folder but its not producing the
expected output.

I want to show all emails sent from a particular domain.

I created a new search folder, create custom folder, click advanced
tabs, added criteria that shows any email that contains domainname.com
in the From field.

Zero emails show after search.

I can run a search on the same domainname using the search bar in my
inbox and produce results.




If I set the search folder to search for the domain name in the search
for words on the messages tab, not all messages are returned. I
believe this is because its searching the subject line and message
body only and excludes the To, From, CC feilds.

Are you using the From field on the general tab? That one uses the From
email address while the From field on Advanced tab uses the display name
field.

I was enetered the domain name into the advanced tab. I'll try
entering just the domain name into the from field on the general tab.

Is it possible to display all emails to & from a particular domain
name in one search folder?
