Searching Inbox not working

[frankp]

I want to see all the unread messages from a particular sender. When I type the name in the search field it says there are no messages with those words. I can see there are. It used to work. I don't know what has changed.

Hi, may you have to rebuild the mail search database:

@mib2berlin I can't find the context menu you show anywhere. Where can I rebuild the database?

@frankp
Click on the mail icon in the status bar, then the gear.
Crtl+Shift+A enable it if you had hided it in the settings.

Is that a typo? Ctrl+Shift+S toggles visibility of status bar.

Hi and yes, you are correct.
@frankp follow @yojimbo274064400 with the shortcut.

Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin @yojimbo274064400 I found the mail settings in the status bar. After clicking the rebuild database button I only had to wait for the rebuild, and now the search shows what I was looking for. Thank you.
