Wrong sender in search results

more options

Hi to all.

PROBLEM: when I perform a search (CTRL+K) it happens that some results report the wrong sender, reporting as a sender one of the other of my email accounts configured on TB. When I open such a search result, the email is shown correctly with the proper sender.

WHAT I TRIED: I tried to "fix" the email folders involved in the error (the one related to the proper sender as well as that of the incorrect one) but this did not solve the problem. Also, I've been esperiencing this issue for at least three years taking into account that I've changed and updated a couple of Gnu/Linux distros (mainly Mint and Ubuntu) and I've also changed two PCs. I've both imported previous profile folders as well as configured the accounts from scratch and dowloaded all the messages of the several accounts from scratch.

Thanks. Regards.
