HT2954 How to search the content in Mac mail system?

I receive a lot of emails each day, some of the are dumped in the inbox. It is natural to search them later by typing some keywords. But the search engine performance is very bad compared to the the one of Gmail. I typed the same words, Mac mail showed there is no results. But Gmail gave almost all of them.

Hi, for my money, Spotlight is the worst serch engine since "Don't Find this.app"
But, are there options showing for From, To, Content & such?

  • How to extract the content of a mail message?

    Friends,,,
    How to extract the content of a mail message?
    the message does not contain any attachments or images.
    its just a plain text..
    if i use message.getContent(), in addition of the content it returns headers information also...
    but i need only the content of that message...
    if i write code like this:
    String content = (String) message.getContent();
    it gives cast exception...
    if the message contains only plain text, no multipart, then which method is useful to extract only the content?
    please tell me friends..
    thanks in advannce,
    regards,
    Venkata Naveen

    Message.getContent() does not return headers for a simple text/plain
    message. If you're getting headers, something else is wrong.
    Also, casting the result to String should work.
    Most likely the message really isn't a simple text/plain message.
    Provide more details and we'll help you figure out what you're
    doing wrong.
    Also, please read the msgshow.java demo program included with JavaMail.

  • How to search the content of TPL files?

    Hi. I have a folder with hundreds of template "tpl" files that I'm needing to search the file contents of but using the regular search of that folder is unable to search the content of the tpl files, is it possible to do so?
    Thanks!,
    Wesley

    I assume there's not a "scan all files" with Spotlight?
    I don't think that would be possible in the specific case of content searches. Here's my understanding:
    EasyFind searches the files themselves when it looks for content, which makes it slow but very flexible.
    In contrast, Spotlight searches a pre-existing index when it looks for things - it can be instructed to search the index in various ways, but if the desired information is not in the index in the first place, it won't be found. Indexing the content of every file in the system is not feasible, so only the contents of certain file types get indexed. I found the following in [this Wikipedia article|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_%28software%29]:
    Aside from basic information about each file like its name, size and timestamps, the mdimport daemon can also index the content of some files, when it has an Importer plug-in that tells it how the file content is formatted. Spotlight comes with importers for certain types of files, such as Microsoft Word, MP3, and PDF documents. Apple publishes APIs that allow developers to write Spotlight Importer plug-ins for their own file formats.[3]
    So unless you'd care to write your own Spotlight Importer plug-in for tpl files, I think you are out of luck!

  • How to search the content in a Table

    Hi all,

    VJR

    Hi,
    you gotta do that programmatically,
    here is a sample code:
    int sizeOfstudent = wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_student().size();
    //Ctx_vn_student is the node associated with the table ie its dataSource property
    String filtername = wdcontext.currentContextElement.getSName();
    //sName is the name to be searched , it is a context attribute
              for(int i = sizeOfstudent-1;i>=0;i--)
                   String matchValue = recNode.getElementAt(i).getAttributeAsText("Name");
    //get the name of 1st record(in table) or 1st elememnt in node, "Name" here is value attribute of that node
    //so we are fetching its value and comparing it like..
                   if(matchValue.equalsIgnoreCase(filtername))
                        //here you can add the action to be taken on mathing name                }
    hope it helps

  • How to search the contents of emlx files in 10.7 Lion ?

    Hi,
    Since Apple Mail in 10.7 leaved some messages in a Mail Lost+Found folder it would be nice to find out which of those messages might also exist in the active mailboxes and since Apple Mail cannot import these Lost & Found mails (unless manually opened and sorted in Mail), it would be handy to do a quick search for text in these messages. Why does no Search options ever works when needed in Mac OS X ? EasyFind could not find anything either. Reindexing did not help. Raw content serach in the Finder does not help. Why cannot the Mac system be a little helpful when it comes to searching?

    Yes, your conclusion seems logical, indeed, but I am copying text from an opened emlx file and even if I put it on my desktop and do a Finder search; a Spotlight search or a search via EasyFind, none of them actually find the file ... . Which may lead to the conclusion that I am doing something wrong, but I do not really think so ... .
    I now even created a new folder on the desktop and dragged the emlx message from which I choose a word and try to search it with EasyFind with no success, but I eventually managed to find it through Spotlight now, but Spotlight does not find the file in the Mail Lost+Found folder. Which makes clear this is related to permissions of the files in my own home folder that Lion has given them. And, yes, the solution is that the folder where the emlx file is stored within the Mail Lost+Found folder has no read permissions for anyone but the owner.
    Problem solved. Have to verify this on other computers (but the permissions were not handled correctly somewhere back through history or when converting the messages from 10.6.8 ...).

  • How to reduce the size of mac mail folder?

    Hello,
    I noticed that the size of my is 18 Go while it only sync with my Gmail account ...which only used 4 Go!!
    I tried to do Mailbox > Rebuild but it didn't help much
    Does anyone knows what to do to reduce this heavy usage of my hard disk's space?
    Thank you very much
    Emmanuel

    Under Library / Mail, I have a unique file called V2. Inside V2, I have 3 files
    - IMAP-my mail [email protected] which is 18Go big(although my gmail account is 4 Go)
    - Mailboxes which is 1.5Go
    - MailDate which is 72Mb
    Under IMAP that are various .mbox files: Gmail, Gmail trash, and several for each of my Gmail labels - each one is pretty huge - it looks as if when a message is under Inbox and has 2 labels, it is copied in each of these maiboxes multiplying it size.
    Gmail.mbox only is 8 Go, still bigger that it should be
    Gmail Trash.mbox is also over 6Go
    Does this make any sense to you?

  • How do I search the content inside a single email?

    I'm new to the iPad with the recent purchase of my iPad 3. I enjoy using Apple's Mail app. And I know how to search the contents of "all emails. "But how do I search the text content of a particular email? I am talking about one single email here. Again, I know how to search ALL emails -- I'm not asking about that. How do I search the content of just one email?
    This is a logical question, but I'm surprised no one is asking it. Sometimes we receive long emails. And we want to search for a keyword within that given long email. So how do we do that on the iPad with Apple's Mail?
    Thank you.

    Sorry, but you don't as it's not a feature of the Mail app on iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.
    I guess the reason you don't see lot's of inquiries on this is there's not demand for this particular feature, but feel free to leave feedback with Apple, via the following link:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Finder/Spotlight does not seem to be searching the contents of docx files anymore. How do I re-enable this search function?

    I used to be able to search the contents of .docx MS Word files in the past, but this feature suddenly stopped working.
    Anyone else experiencing this as well and is there a fix?
    Thanks.

    Similar or same problem, with similar and same hardware/software.  This is incredibly frustrating given that for the last ten years we've been told not to worry about organizing our files but instead rely on tags and meta-data.
    .docx files are found when no file content is searched.
    When some content is searched, recent .docx files (last 7 days) files may appear, but nothing older.
    Just to be clear, when any content is searched for, no .docx files older than 7 days are present in search results.
    However, .doc files with identical content are found, as are PDFs etc.
    Reindexing changes nothing.

  • I am thinking of buying a MacBook Air and am wondering how to get the content of my iPad into iTunes.

    I have iTunes on an old pc and am thinking of buying a MacBook Air. I am wondering how to get the content of my iPad on to the Mac as I know that sync only happens in one direction, from pc to device. I assume therefore that when I attach my pad to the new Mac it will sync to an empty iTunes and I will have lost all the content of my pad. I know I can restore purchases, but what about contacts, calendar, photos and music not purchased from apple. I have a fairly recent backup on a pen drive but it is a usb2 device and is formatted for a pc. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Do I copy my media library or from a backup.  I have a backup on my pc and on an external drive. This drive is usb2 and formatted for windows so I can't connect it to a MacBook Air to make the transfer.  Equally I don't think there is a way to connect the 2 computers via a cable ie usb2 one end and usb3 the other.  Will the computers talk to each other via wifi if I enable home share although I think this is only for music which still leaves contacts, mail etc.
    I am sorry to be such an ignoramus but any further help would be appreciated.

  • How to display the content of a region on a different page

    Hello,
    Does anyone knows how to display the content of a region on an other page. I try to make page that displays content that resides somewhere else in my portal, so I can give a summarization of some hot topics. I really want to display the whole content of some regions (not a display with custom search).
    Thanks a lot,
    Hans

    Set that page as portlet, include it in a region in another page and in the edit defaults decide which regions you want to display.

  • How to set the IP and MAC address in C program?

    My working environment is Sun250 Server, Solaris 7 operating system. I encountered a problem ---- How to set the IP and MAC address in C program to make the system change it IP & MAC at runtime?
    Any idea is welcome! Thanks!

    Hi
    As a simplest possible solution, you can use the system command
    to run ifconfig that can set both the mac address and the IP address of the system. You will have to use setuid though.
    Or you can use the DLPI calls ( do a man DLPI or search for a
    Sun documentation on the same at http://soldc.sun.com) to write
    a pure C program.
