Our Jenkins server sends notification e-mails that contain the header

From: Jenkins <nobody@nowhere>

How do I search for mails that exactly match this header?

Searching for FROM: "jenkins" or for FROM: "nobody@nowhere" returns results. However neither of the following work:

  • FROM: "jenkins" AND FROM: "nobody@nowhere"
  • FROM: "jenkins <nobody@nowhere>"

  • Open the e-mail you want to search on
  • In Outlook 2013, go to File > Properties
  • Under Internet Headers, copy the exact line for From
  • Use this to search for your e-mail e.g. "From: Jenkins <nobody@nowhere>"

  • That is exactly where I got the header from that I pasted in my question. Looking at my question I see I had a case mismatch but fixing that, i.e. changing my query to `From: "Jenkins "` did not change anything. You have the entire thing in quotes, `"From: Jenkins "` returns results from mails where the body contains that string, e.g. replied to mails from Jenkins. – Miserable Variable May 24 '16 at 16:31

    You are absolutely right. Sorry, best I can offer is work around and not answer. Apparently, someone else on SU had the same problem and they used Rules Wizard to categorize that e-mail. Then you search on that Category. http://superuser.com/questions/678617/search-folders-for-arbitrary-email-headers-in-outlook You can apply actions based on message headers in rules wizard, but the Outlook search itself doesn't allow you to search that way. – Sun May 24 '16 at 16:50
