I am searching for an email to a certain person. When I search for messages in my main folder, with the "search subfolders" checked, it searches my inbox, but it does not search my sent box. I tried rebuilding the database, but that did not fix it. What should i try?

Sort the emails in alpha order and then scroll down to the location of that person in the list

I don't want to do that because I want to search inbox and sent, etc. That would remove the benefit of being able to search
