Whenever I do a 'search' for a message that has been sent to me the only mails shown are the ones that I have sent to that person, not ones I have received?

It is important to me to be able to find messages that I have sent TO a person as well as messages I have RECEIVED from that person. I used to be able to do that but now, for some unknown reason, whenever I do a search on an email address the only messages that are displayed are the ones I have SENT to an email address. What can I do make sure it does what it used to do i.e. display ALL messages to and from an email address ?

Deleting the file with Thunderbird closed just causes it to be recreated and a fresh index of your mail to be created when Thunderbird starts. You may find it is a huge file, mine is over a gigabyte and occasionally they just get out of sync with reality. Also I just though of this, right click your sent folder/s and check the "include this folder in global search results" is ticked.
Just FYI... Many people coming here call quick filter search, and for your future confusion on why there is more than one search. Ctrl + Shift + F opens a bona fide search and is the way to create saved search's that appear as folder on the left tree. Something the global search can not do.

    Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

  • The link for "Reset of password has been sent successfully" never appears in my email

    I have 2 emails an old and a new and I do not know which one is correct. I try signing in with each separately and asking for a "RESET" of my password. In each case it states that a "link has been sent successfully to the email you provided" but nothing ever appears. I already have Thunderbird but is it a question of simply re registering?

    you would not be able to post in this forum if you did not have the username and password, so what are you trying to do? does this have anything to do with Thunderbird, or is it all forum related.

  • How can i search for a color that is not in the color palette? (CS 5.5)

    I have a client, that has used a certain color in a series of textfields throughout the document.
    The color consists of all 4 CMYK colors and needs to be just Keycolor. However the color is not in the swatches menu, so marking it there and changing it won't work. I have downloaded a script that might have worked, but it could only find colors that were in the swatches palette. (Find / Change by Color / Overprint" version 1.2).
    Ofcourse, creating a similar color and adding it to the swatches doesn't work.
    Is there anyway that i can search for the color or does it really have to be done manually.
    Best regards

    You can only search for real, actually existing swatches. No sweat: use "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatch panel dropdown menu to get a list of all of the manually applied colors.
    Since you want to change all of them to the same color, you don't even have to use Search/Replace. Simply delete the new colors and select the one you need in the "Replace With" dialog that appears.

  • Searching for a number that is not black

    I need to search a long document for a number at the start of a paragraph that is not black in color. Is there a way to do this in InDesign?
    With GREP I can look for ^\d+ to find paragraphs starting with a number, but I don't know how to specify the formatting constraint.

    It can't be done -- or rather, not in one go.
    A four-pass method is this: add Underline to all numbers. Remove underline from all numbers that are black. Check remaining underlined numbers. Remove underline from all numbers.
    You should do this, of course, with an attribute of which you are sure you didn't use!

  • Searching for a server that does not exist on boot up

    Hi all,
    I keep getting the following box pop up on start up, every time, I was wondering how I could stop the MacBook from looking for 192.168.0.8. I does not need to connect to this address anymore - it is currently my PC though this changes depending on the order things have been switched on or off.

    Hello Tom,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your MacBook Pro trying to automatically connect with the server.  Have you checked to see if this server is listed in your Login Items in System Preferences? 
    I recommend removing this item if you see it listed in Login Items using these steps:
    Add or remove automatic items
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Select your user account, then click Login Items.
    Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click Delete "-" below the list on the right.

    We have Cox internet on a wireless router.

    The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
    Thanks for any suggestions you have.

    I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.

  • How to search for a message or thread with a known message ID in forum?

    How to search (or "swich") to a thread with a known ID ? The "Search
    Message" yields no results when searching for a message ID. Is there a
    other proper way for referencing a thread or message?

    If you want to keep the threads for yourself, you can use your favorites menu or the site's bookmarks option.
    If you have to transfer the number to some one else, the URL format looks fairly simple -
    http://  forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=board number\name&message.id=your number.
    if you enter the same board, you will have the board number. This doesn't look like a particularly convenient way, but I don't have a problem with copying and pasting URLs.
    The other option would be to do a search, but that is not guranteed to give you an exact answer.

  • HT204266 Why does the App Store crash whenever I try to search for something?

    Whenever I try to search for an app, the App Store just crashes. This is very annoying.

    For other problems try:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • I added 3 contacts and saved on my iphone 5, but do not appear on my list of contacts. the names appear when they text or call me. I have to go search for their messages when i need to call them

    i added 3 contacts and saved on my iphone 5, but do not appear on my list of contacts. the names appear when they text or call me. I have to go search for their messages when i need to call them?

    Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
    If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
    try this:
    open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
    #74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
    let me know if succeeded!

    After upgrading to ios8, I discovered that the spotlight search for text messages only "sees" my last two texts but not any of the others I have on my phone. These are all active conversations, not deleted messages.  Any ideas how to fix?  Thanks.
