How do I search for e-mail addresses with .info domain suffix?

Post by Ant
Search .info resulted "info". I just want to search for the domain suffix.
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

Hello,

Try escaping the ".". In other words, search for "\.info" instead of
".info".

Hope that helps,

Tom

The search is for a regular expression, so the "." matches any single
character. Try searching for "\.info".

Thanks. Hmm, it still shows all info without their periods too like
"information". Same for searching with \.edu and got "schedule" hits. How
do I include the periods only?

Exactly what command did you try?

When I type
<Esc> / \.info
it searches for messages containing ".info" either in the sender address
or in the subject (I haven't checked which header lines it searches on.)

I used ~B command to "Limit to messages matching". I tried your method,
but it didn't filter out only the e-mails that matched. :(

~B searches the whole message. Is that what you want?

Anyway, escaping regex metacharacters correctly can be tricky and also
depends on quote level. If you use

~B .info

or

~B \.info

Then the after the first parse it ends up as plain ~B .info because the
escapement is eaten there. These should work:

~B \\.info
~B '\.info'
~B "\\.info"

Double \s worked. Yes, bodies too. Thank you again. :)

Well if it's a Regular Expression then dot means 'any character', if
you want to search for an actual dot you need to escape it so it loses
its special significance.

So you need to search for:- \.info

From the index, limit the list of messages to just those with info in
the address:

l ~f info (that's a lower case L)

Ant, you might benefit from my Woodnotes Guide to Mutt, kind of a
starter guide. It covers a lot of the things you've been asking about.

Not sure what to tell you. I just fired up mutt here and "l ~f edu"
works exactly as expected.

One thing to look into: how are you accessing your email? I'm using IMAP
and using muttheadercache variable to keep a local cache of headers.
That makes the search instantaneous. I can't imagine that's part of
your problem but it's worth looking into.

Anyway, there's something going on with your system. I'm using mutt
1.9.4 (2018-02-28) and what I've described above works perfectly. Good
luck!

Another thing I just thought of: check your keybindings to make sure you
know which key stroke invokes the "limit" command on your system, mutt
being infintely configurable.

When I do a search, I get something like:
---Mutt: =sents/sent-09-2020combined [Msgs:0/1361 Old:671 3.5M]---(threads/date)
To view all messages, limit to "all".

Basically, I get nothing.

My friend's Fedora v31 shell account box uses local mbox or something. I
don't know the technical. How can I check? It's pretty fast since he has
fiber and a Ryzen PC.

1.14.6 (2020-07-11). I assume he used a package.
