Trying to mimic a common workflow in m.outlook:

I would like to hit the 'from' bar to sort mail by the from field and then jump to a name by hitting a letter on the keyboard.

Example: Quickly find e-mails from anyone starting with the letter "B"; 1 click to sort and then a single keystroke to jump to the B's.

How?

That's not the QuickFilter then. It does NOT open a new window.

Try the Quick Filter Toolbar. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/quick-filter-toolbar

Familiar with that but the problem is that it opens the search results in a new window, sorted by relevance and only showing a few items...

This is worthless to me, I have many messages from a given user so seeing 4 sorted by "relevance" is of no value here.

It's still faster to hit the from field header and scroll endlessly... solution still desired.

The Quick Filter set to sender is doing what I want and it's only one extra click over the m.outlook method but delivers more complete results so this is the answer I was seeking. Thanks all.

I had missed this as I'd had previous releases were the quick filter didn't run and only produced errors so had not touched it literally in a couple of years but focused on the full search tool (which is great when needed).
