not sure if this applies to p9p, but ned (mail with no arguments on plan 9)
is really good for finding stuff.
	g/sender/h
is typically enough to find mail from a particular person.
and there are other options that search particular header fields, or the body.
i prefer the unix-style interface to search boxes.

unfortunately the results of a search are not themselves a mailbox.
