How to use e-mail address in mailx <message list>?

m4rtin · 09-29-2013, 04:53 PM

I would like to list all the e-mail messages from "@hotmail.com" in heirloom mailx. Or at least from certain e-mail address "example@hotmail.com". According to mailx, a <message list> consists of integers, ranges of same, or other criteria separated by spaces.

When I try to search by e-mail address, it does not find anything:

Code:

? from @hotmail.com                                                                                            
No applicable messages from {@hotmail.com}
? from example@hotmail.com
No applicable messages from {example@hotmail.com}
? from "example@hotmail.com"
No applicable messages from {example@hotmail.com}
?

How to use e-mail address in mailx <message list>? Or is there some other way to list all the messages from sender e-mail address?

Try the same inside parentheses

Code:

?(from @hotmail.com)

To list all the messages from a specific sender, use:

Code:

? from (from example@hotmail.com)
