"Any Recipient" NOT WORKING in Smart Mailboxes

I have a smart mailbox set up with a single rule: "any recipient does not contain markmal." Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding this, but shouldn't that mean that any message that contains "markmal" in any part of any recipient's address — whether on the to:, cc:, or bcc: line — should be filtered OUT of this mailbox?
This is not what happens, and i get messages with addresses that include "markmal" in each of those three recipient types in this so-called "smart" folder.
am i misunderstanding what smart mailboxes do?
thanks.

Not so much misunderstanding what smart mailboxes do as misunderstanding what some of the pulldown rule combinations mean.
The rule "any recipient does not contain X" is not the inverse of "any recipient contains X" as you intend. Rather, it is the inverse of "every recipient contains X" (not that there is an "every recipient" rule type).
The only messages that would be excluded from your smart mailbox are those addressed ONLY to markmal. Messages with any other recipient would be included, no matter whether there is also a markmal recipient or not.
The rule syntax supplied by the pulldowns is not complete enough to accomplish what you want, I believe.

Mail: ANY doesn't work in smart mailboxes or rules?

I want to create a smart mailbox that will copy and archive all messages to/from a particular recipient and e-mails to/from others about the subject of most of the conversation with that recipient. I want the archiving to happen as they arrive in my inboxes and not automatically remove them from the servers--some I still need on the servers to access from multiple locations/machines.
But I can't even get to the archiving issue: the smart mailbox that says 'contains ANY message' meeting these rules:
contains recipient1
contains subject2
always has fewer messages than one that simply 'contains recipient1' so the ANY condition, that in boolean terms should be an OR combination, appears to functionally act as an AND.
When I tried to create a smart mailbox folder to contain two mailboxes, one for contains name1 and one for contains subject2, each of which separately works fine, clicking the smart mailbox folder containing both leaves the window empty, so I can't see the messages name1 and subject2 interlaced in the date sent order or any other. I just get one group or the other by clicking the submailboxes.
And trying to bypass the problem using rules doesn't work either--the 'any' command is as dysfunctional there as it is in the smart mailbox dialog. I can manually search for the relevant terms (recipient1 and subject2) and option+drag them to a mailbox for archiving, but this results in many duplications, especially if repeated over time, not a happy result.
Some searching here and googling suggests that the ANY command is problematic in this OS for a lot of people, but is there a known fix? Or a better way to create a 'smart' archive to do what I want?

Okay, I think I understand better now. So I just ran a test, by creating the following rule:
I specifically chose an address (obviously not the one shown) that I had a message from in my Inbox, and a word that was present in the subject line of several messages in my Inbox. When I ran this rule on my Inbox, it copied exactly the messages I would have expected into the test mailbox. Are you seeing different behavior with the same rule, or is your rule constructed differently?
If the difficulty is with running the rule, note that (as I said earlier) rules only run automatically on unread incoming messages. It won't run automatically on existing messages or on messages on an IMAP mail server that you have read on another device using (in which case they will have been marked as read). If you need to run this in such conditions, you'll have to either run the rule manually or run it via an AppleScript or something similar that is somehow (via something other than Mail) made to execute at certain times/intervals or under certain conditions.
And you're correct, a smart mailbox would be totally inappropriate for what you're trying to do! It would behave exactly as you guessed.

Airport express not working with smart bro

My apple express is not working with smart bro.
What to do????

I have the same issue. Mine fixed itself for a bit and now it's broken again. I'm thinking it's going to be intermittently broken. I've tried turning both devices off and on again but that did not help.

Ask the carrier in the US who the phone is locked to if they will unlock it for you - put an unlock request into that carrier.
Other than that and if they refuse to unlock it, then there is nothing you can do except buy a new phone.

Can not change default smart mailboxes

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to 10.9 my Mail.app does not allow me to make changes to the smart folders.
There is a default one called "today" and it can be deleted, renamed or edited but in a few minutes it reappears in its default state. Same for any new smart mailbox, I can create it but in a few minutes it is again not there.
How can I fix this?
Thanks
Asu

Hi Don,
Thank you so much for your help and information. I have been trying to figure out how to change the default browser for about two weeks now. All the help files I've seen talked about an internet control panel I did not seem to have.
I followed your advice and that fixed it. I now get the right control panel when I pick the internet control panel from the apple menu. And yes, I can now choose my default browser.
After the fix when I first checked HELP to see if it could now open the internet control panel, it gave me an error message and told me to restart the computer. However, after rebooting and rebuilding the desktop it opens the control panel for me.
It also fixed at least one other problem I had with another program. Ever since I upgraded my IM program, it's INTERNET SETTINGS link under the edit menu never worked. It would not do anything when I chose it. It now works and opens the internet control panel. That is nice.
One other question.
After using Tome Viewer, I seen a number of internet related files. Some I already have like; Internet Prefs, Internet set and Internet Config Extension. However there is one called "Internet.cnl". I don't seem to have that file anywhere installed on my computer. Should this file be installed somewhere too?
Thanks again for your help. It was very much appreciated.

Thunderbolt to VGA Adapter not working with SMART board all of a sudden?

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on getting my classroom's (I'm student teaching) SMART board connected to my macbook pro (13 in). Two days ago I tested the setup I had, Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, Mac OS X SMART software suite and it worked flawlessly. Today I try the setup and although the SMART board recognizes my macbook via usb, the projector does not display anything. System preferences does not even recognize the projector as an external monitor. When I plug in my Mini-DVI to VGA adapter (already attached to the VGA cord from the SB) the screen flashes black and goes back to normal. Official work from SMART technologies is there is no supported adapters for connecting a macbook to a SB but I have seen numerous threads about this setup working and like I said it was previously working fine. Any suggestions on what to try next? I was thinking of dual booting to an older version of OS X. Thanks.
Specs:
MacBook Pro 13 in
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
10.9.1

If your laptop is not connected to power (i.e., plugged in to a wall), try plugging it in. It is not uncommon for a laptop to send the VGA signal out with less power when it is on battery power. I've seen this fix this problem, at least, dozens of times.
Try connecting the VGA cable to your adapter while the smart board display is on THEN plug the adapter in to your computer.
Also, try connecting the VGA+Adapter to your mac before booting it (or connect the macbook to the vga cable and then reboot the macbook). I've seen this work with macbooks using vga on projectors (or other external displays running through longer cables or crestron/extron/whatever switching equipment) many many times too.
If these fail, get your campus AV (or IT) people involved. We have often found that a damaged cable or long run needing amplification will work with some computers but not with others. It could be that the cable running from the smart board is somewhat sketchy.
Also, have you attempted to connect your macbook to any other display since starting to have the issue? A bad dongle (dp to vga adapter) isn't rare. I have a bad one sitting on my desk at this very moment.
One last thing you can try, this works for some:
Shut of the mac
Connect it to the smart board (i.e, connect the cables)
Turn on the mac and then close the lid
This *may* boot the computer on the external dispaly (smart board)
Open the lid before it comes to the login screen.
Hopefully one of these suggestions helps.

Is there any way to have a smart mailbox search sub-folders

My wife uses Mail.app for her business in which gets hundreds of emails a day and managing them all is quite a challenge. One important goal of e-mail management is archiving certain emails in folders (and sub-folders) without creating duplicates. What I've done is to create rules to move e-mails into their respective the folders and flag them based varying criteria. This works great!
The problem is when I make a smart mailbox to include only flagged messages in a specific mailbox, only messages in the root mailbox are found. All messages in the sub-folder are ignored or never considered. I used the "not in mailbox" option on my own mail.app but this isn't practical for her because she manages numerous e-mail accounts for clients and she adds new accounts frequently.
Is there a solution to my issue that doesn't involve puting all the messages into the root mailbox?

Mine are showing emails in subfolders, but I don't have near that many emails.
Maybe you need to reindex the spotlight database.
The normal method is to add the Hard drive to the Privacy tab in Spotlight prefs. If that doesn't cause it to index, here is a Terminal way: http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_reindex_spotlight

Attributes Not Working in Smart View

Hi All,
I have an ASO database that has attributes on the Cost Center dimension. In EPMA and in EAS, the attributes are correctly shown. When I pull data in Smart View for a specific cost center, I see data. When I apply the correct attribute, the data comes back as "N/A". I know for a fact that this cost center IS tagged as the attribute I am pulling, but it will not show in Smart View as belonging to that attribute. I am using version 11.1.2.3 and Smart View version 11.1.2.3.000 (Build 157).
Any thoughts?

Hello,
this is indeed strange. Not a real answer, but here are some suggestions to get more details:
Case sensitive?
What was the attribute of this cost center before?
Try a report on this cost center with all attributes. Does one work?
Try a different front end tool.
From EPMA do a full deploy (make sure you have saved you essbase objects to a save location)
Does it work?
Change the Attribute and deploy it again. Does it work?
If you found it, please update this here, so others will be able to find the solution.

Smart mailbox for mails which are not in another smart mailbox

Hello!
I tried to create a smart mailbox for all the mails which doesn't appear in any other smart mailbox.
I know that I can tell my smart mailbox not to look for mails who are in the inbox or the other default-boxes of the mail program.
But how can I choose a smart Mailbox instead???

Thanks, John, but the original idea isn't mine. Someone else realized that some time ago:

Command "service-policy input policy-name permit-any" will not work

Hi all,
have a SG500 with latest Firmware, but this command will not work.
service-policy input QoS_01 permit-any
i get this error message:
% Wrong number of parameters or invalid range, size or characters entered
without the option "permit-any or deny-any" the command is successfully.
What is the reason?
It is important, directly to specify this options. Otherwise to lose the access to the switch.
Regards
Stefan

Hi Tom,
i have a ACL / ACE and create a QoS "policy table" put the "policy class map" (with class mappings) in it.
And now i will bind this QoS policy to a Ethernet port.
cli tutorial example say:
Use the service-policy Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port-channel) mode command to bind a policy map to a port/port-channel. Use the no form of this command to detach a policy map from an interface.
This command is only available in QoS advanced mode.
Syntax
service-policy input policy-map-name default-action [permit-any | deny-any]
no service-policy input
Example:
witchxxxxxx(config-if)# service-policy input policy1 permit-any
A cisco support open a ticket for me.

Move tool issue : Command key + mouse dragging for moving any layer not working in PS CC

I'm trying to move a layer within the document by holding command key and mouse dragging (mouse cursor not above the layer) is not working at all while using move tool. Suddenly this functionality stopped working. Now I have to place my cursor on layer to be move and drag with mouse. Also pressing command key changing auto select option from layer to group.
Please help.

Usually when a tool is not working as expected, a Reset of that tool might be the answer.
Select the move tool in the toolbox,
Go to the move tool icon on the top left of the screen (just above the toolbox in its' Option bar) and Ctrl-click on it to get the Reset menu.
Click on Reset Tool.

Mail present in Mailbox, not showing in Smart Mailbox

OK, this is a bit complicated to explain, but let's try.
To archive old emails, I use to create a Smart Mailbox with criteria, for example, all emails (received or sent) from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2001.
Then I drag them in a separate mailbox, which I can archive.
As a check, I show on the mail browser the "mailbox" column.
And many mails are reported as "blank" in the Mailbox column.
Worse, when I try to open them, they appear blank, too. No headers, no contents.
But if I do a Spotlight search on the title shown in the browser, I can find the .emlx file, and open it with Text Wrangler. Text Wrangler then give me the path of the file ... which is in the adequate mailbox !! And if I open the file through the result window of Spotlight, Mail decently opens the message ...
Rebuilding the mailboxes doesn't help.
It happens with "small" years (+/- 2000 messages) as well as with "big" years (10,000 messages and above).
Is there a way to rebuild a complete index of Mail ?
Thanks in advance

Claude,
It would appear that you do need to force reindexing. Since forcing reindexing involves more than those On My Mac mailboxes, the issue of what type of accounts you use remains relevant?
To force Mail to reindex, you quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail and locate the Envelope Index file (hopefully you only find one file with similar name). Drag out, or delete the Envelope Index file from the Mail folder, and then relaunch Mail, which will announce that it is ready to import mailboxes, but really will only set about to index all mailboxes.
Again, if you have anything other than POP accounts, please report that, and if you understand what you are supposed to do with the account folder for non-POP accounts?

Dynamic Distribution Groups not working with Office365 Mailboxes

Ok so my problem is this. I am creating new dynamic distribution lists based on office location with the option to look at the notes section in AD and add an additional office if a user needs to be on both lists.
We have recently started using Office365 for some users and they need to get the emails too.
When I create the group initially using:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "Location-London UK" -OrganizationalUnit "domain.net/Groups/Email Groups/Locations" -RecipientContainer "domain.net/Our Users" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'MailUser') -or (RecipientType
-eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Office -eq 'London') -or (Notes -eq 'London')}
It creates the group limiting to the Accounts with London as their office but it includes every Office365 mailbox we have also.
There is a DDG in our EMC for an office in Hong Kong but I am not aware of who created it.
Its filter says:
((((((RecipientType -eq 'MailUser') -or (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox'))) -and (Office -eq 'HongKong'))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'MailboxPlan')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue
-eq 'DiscoveryMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'ArbitrationMailbox')))
This group includes only the users with Hong Kong as well as Office365 users with Hong Kong as their office location
Ive tried to recreate this DG but cant as using Powershell still makes groups with the Office265 users in them.
The only way ive successfully created a London DG is by using ADSIedit to copy the msExchQueryFilter from Hong Kong to London and change the Office Name to London
Any help would be appreciated

For your recipient filter, use the following:
{((RecipientType -eq 'MailUser') -or (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox')) -and
((Office -eq 'London') -or (Notes -eq 'London'))}
See if that works ... that's effectively how the Hong Kong one is built. Make sure you get the extra parentheses (I bolded them), they should make the difference.
