 In other mailboxes, by hitting '/' I can search the adress and subject
 fields. In sent this does not work. Are there search options I am
 unaware of, or is something else the matter? I use Maildir if important.

When beeing in search folder, what does ? show?
Is there a similar/same binding for / as in your other folders?

Like:
/search search for a regular expression



If not, I suspect you have some hook, which reconfigures your key
binding for the sent folder.

When being in the 'sent'-folder, '/' is bound to search, as documented
in '?'. When I hit '/', a search-line appears but it nevers return what
I search for: 
Search for: Harry  -  Not found.
but when scrolling down, Harry is on line/number 128

Has .muttrc changed somewhere?; I use mutt for a very long time now
(since v0.93?)  and go as little as possible through working
configurations...

This is a long shot, but do you have reverse_alias set, and do you have
an alias for Harry?  Possibly you see Harry because it's in an alias,
but is not actually in the message as part of the To: address.

search in sent

2014-02-26 Thread vwf
Hello,

I may make a mistake, but I fail to search in my sent mailbox.
In other mailboxes, by hitting '/' I can search the adress and subject
fields. In sent this does not work. Are there search options I am
unaware of, or is something else the matter? I use Maildir if important.

Thanks
