When I "search" for email from a particular sender, and "display as list" recent emails from that sender do not show up even though they are in my "inbox" folde
I have many emails from certain senders. I can sort my local inbox by correspondent and find recent emails from this sender, but when I "search" from this sender in the search box at the top, and "display as list", many of the earlier emails from this sender show up, but more recent ones do not (I probably have several hundred from this sender), sometimes several per day, and yet in the "display as list", and then select "to me" only ones from May 2107 and earlier display in the list.
I periodically compact the folder, and clear out unwanted messages.

The search will be rubbish until the file fully regenerates, which could take a whole day if you have 10 or 20Gb of mail. You can monitor the status of that using the Activity Manager.
