Can you do a search in the Mail app?

As title really, is there a search feature in the default mail app? If there is I'm being really stupid because I can't see it. Any help appreciated!

You're not being stupid, BritishBeef.
It is possible to have Spotlight search only the Mail.app Inbox, but the feature is hidden by default. I discovered it by accident.
To enable the the Mail.app specific Search field in your Inbox just scroll up (meaning swipe your finger down the screen) to reveal the hidden field at the top of the screen.
That's it.
Swiping down the screen will also reveal an app-specific Search field in Notes, and other apps as well, I suspect. Haven't checked them all…
Remember there are no stupid questions…well, maybe there's one; the one you don't ask 'cause you think it's stupid… =)
Have fun…

Mavericks 10.9.3. Can I write a Rule in the Mail app and tell the rule to return an email to the sender? I have already trsuggestions?

Mavericks 10.9.3. MacBook. Can I write a Rule in the Mail app to return an email to Sender? I have tried many, many times but no luck so far. Is it even possible, or am I wasting my time?

There is no specific option to do that, although you can redirect a message if it meets certain criteria. I believe if you wanted to bounce it back to the sender, then you would need an AppleScript to run. If you do some Google or MacUpdate searching you may find an existing script for this purpose.

I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?

I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?

I read an answer on another issue that said you don't deauthorize iPhones from the phone, and to deauthorize everything from the iTunes store. But when I go to the iTunes store, it tells me my computer is not authorized, (I just had this computer repaired & the iTunes store doesn't recognize it, and it says we already have 5 devices authorized). Is there a place to deauthorize everything at once, so I can add devices back individually?

there is a music app in the TV advert love in the scene where there are musicians and an electric guitar connected to the iPad.
the app seems to have something like a rack of music equipment in different colours. i am uncertain as to the name of the app.

thanks for those who tried to find the answer for me. i chanced on the app whilst searching iTunes for music apps.

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Where is the mail app log?

I am getting a message that a message is unable to be sent.
Port is correct.
Auth is none.
I'd like to see what response is being given by the SMP server, but running up console, I can't seem to find where the mail app is logging the problem it is having.

As far as I know mail doesn't log those. It is generally a matter of either connectivity (eg I get it when trying to send a message via a server, but the part of the LAN I am currently using is blocked from accessing that server) or of a valid email address, where the server is able to verify the address because it is local to the server. It may also occur where the both the sender and recipient are outside the domain of the server, but that doesn't sound like your problem.
If you really want to see what is happening, you will need to run a network sniffer (eg ethereal or MacSniffer).

I cannot open the mail app on my ipad

HI all,
i am having problems with my iPad 2 when using mail. It all worked fine until today.
when a new email arrives the icon shows waiting mail. When I open the mail app it shows a blank screen with the normal boxes in but no text and no email. After approx 10 seconds the screen fades to black and then goes back to the home screen. See image below.
i have tried doing a reset but it make no difference.
any help much appreciated.
thanks
Chris

Have you tried to force close the mail app? Double tap the home button. You'll see icons and previews on the screen. Scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app up on the screen. Flick the preview up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button or home page preview to exit the mode and try again.

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

I have a scenario. Import IDOC into PI and PI transform IDOC to Excel. Using mail adapter attach that Excel using pi and send to customer. Can you please help me on the same?

HI Experts,
I have a scenario. Import IDOC into PI and PI transform IDOC to Excel. Using mail adapter attach that Excel using pi and send to vendor. Can you please help me on the same?

Hi Sai,
you can use XSLT or java mapping or adapter module to convert IDOC xml to XLS. Please refer the below blog
Convert incoming XML to Excel or Excel XML – Part 1 - XSLT Way
Convert incoming XML to Excel Sheet Part 2 – Adapter Module way
Convert incoming XML to Excel Sheet
then after converting to Excel, you can use the payloadswap bean in mail adapter

HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
Kind regards,
Cy

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

I deleted my old Email account because I wanted to create a new one, and I did. However, when ever I send an Email from the Mail app on my laptop it says the Email was sent from my old Email and I just can not get rid of it.

I deleted my old Email and only used my new Email to set up the Mail app on my laptop. And the old Email is completely dead, hotmail.com says the Email no longer excists when I try to sign back in to it however my Emails remain saying 'Sent from Jordan [*old Email*].
I can't find a solution!!

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

Did you ever figure out what happened?
I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
Thanks.
