Hey Bob,

If I understand your question correctly.  What I would do is type your
name in the "Filter these messages search field or type <Ctrl+Shift+K>
Under the search field you can turn on or off various filters.
Such as [Sender] [Recipients] [Subject] [Body]
Your choice would be Sender with Londe in the search.

BTW I only started using the feature in the past 6 months or so.
I only use the features that I need and little more.

It is very quick and helpful to find that email you were sure you
sent or received but can't remember when.  Then sometimes you
just remember it but can't find it because it was only a text
that you sent on your phone.

Have fun!!

Les
