Well, it took me 3 or 4 times to look at the spelling in the subject line of the "lost" email, and finally I realized the word was spelled wrong, e.g.
Invitiation.

Sorry for the faux pas.

How did you perform the search? Try Edit | Find Message and not Find
message in this folder.

When I did a search of emails for "invitation" the search did not find all
such emails. I tried again, and same results. Why did the OE search
function fail to find emails with the word "invitation" included in the
subject? So is the search function typically unreliable?
