Then I would sort the content of this search folder by date.

I don't know a workaround, for the time Evolution needs to sort
messages. On a 4 GiB RAM, 2.1 GHz dual-core machine, some searches are
quasi impossible, because it would take too much time, if you have large
amounts of emails. IOW if you want to find a reply from/to a mailing
list, you better use Google or better Start Page.

Thanks Ralf for your comment, although it made me depressed :)  I have too many contacts with possibility of such search. I already made some search folders for the most common names but there are simply too many, I can't make a search folder for each :(

I think there's a plan to re-write the search function in Evo with GSoC. I may need to wait until then :(
