I can't believe how loooooong it took me to try this out, but today I ditched nnmairix in favour of nnselect+mairix, and I can say I'm really happy about it: no more nnmairix quirks, plus search is really fast. Mairix search (as far as I could see from the G G command) is not very flexible (so, for example, I cannot limit searches by author/body/etc.) but once you get the summary of all the mails that match a particular query, very nice fine-tuning can be done with the "Limiting" commands. I wish I had taken the time to do this sooner. Cheers, -- Ángel de Vicente Research Software Engineer (Supercomputing and BigData) Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (https://www.iac.es/en)
