Being new to Mac, I have managed to learn how to sort emails by sender's name in mail app.
My mail box has thousands of messages and I often need to find messages by sender. In my past life (W10), I could do it easily by just typing the first letter of the name I wish to find. However, not sure how to do it in apple mail app.
If any one of us has surpassed this hurdle, would be enlightening to read from them.
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
Hi there!
Good question! I think these two articles may help you out:
Search for emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
If searching doesn’t find the right emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Change preferences in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Please let me or someone else here know if these don’t provide the solution you’re looking for, as I believe there may not be a specific setting for that, as there are in Contacts, but these articles may help out with searching Mac Mail, which works very well, thanks!

I am running iOS 12.3 and can't figure out how to sort the mail in my mailboxes. when I was running Mail on my 2011 machine I could sort by Sender, To, Date, etc. Now I don't see any way to sort my mail. What gives??
Hey there!
You can still sort Mac Mail, although it may be different than the earlier OS versions, hope this can help:

I don’t use it, so you’ll have to see if this works. Switch to column layout and click on the header.
Or, cmd-f, then start typing the name, click on the search token for that person.
I didn't think to look there, but it works. Used to be able to do it right at the header of the column. Thx.
