Cannot use search in mail

Hi,
Sorry if this question has been asked before or if it is plain silly, but this issue has been annoying me for a while now.
The search function for a keyword in the message body does not seem to be able to search for messages that are located in anywhere except for inbox. I double checked that the mailbox that I want to search is selected (in the search bar at the top). However when I type in the keyword no results are returned... Is that how it's supposed to work? To doublecheck that it is not the word that is actually not present in any of my emails (or misspelled), I copied a random word from one of the emails in the folder and pasted it in the search bar. No results...
Is there some kind of setting that I can change to fix it?
Any help is greatly apreciated!
Sash.

Also, if that helps, when I checked for that copied word using spotlight the required message came up in the list...
Thanks =)

Why I cannot use search function in my apple store? I use Ipad 3 and it is the latest software

Why I cannot use search function in the apple store on my ipad?

Nobody here could possibly answer your question as presented. Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all?
Quit the app store completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work ... A few more details from you might help you get your problem resolved.

I cannot use new mac mail

I am on 10.4.8 but cannot use the new mac mail. It say I need 10.3.9?
But when I try to load this it will not accept it.

It say I need 10.3.9?
What says this?
Are you referring to the Mail.app under Tiger or the
new .Mac account webmail interface?
If the Mail application, you cannot use Panther's
Mail.app with Tiger just as you cannot use Tiger's
Mail.app with Panther, etc.

Need tips on how to use "Search" in Mail

Didn't get a response in the mail forum,
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=349304&tstart=0

ok, did it.
to tell you the truth, the search in mail started working again after the first code of line was entered even though terminal gave me the error message.
But I went ahead and typed in this other line of code and my password. I can hear it indexing in the background, about how long will it take on a 450mhz cube?

Using search in Mail

I believe at one time the search was done folder by folder. Now, if you do a search, it lists all matching emails regardless of which folder they are in.
My question is - given the search results, i.e. a list of emails matching your search, how can you find out which folder each email is in?
Thanks.

Hi pixel_a_ted,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When searching for email messages in Mail, the folder containing the messages should be shown right below the date and time stamp of the messages.
For example, the messages in this example are found in the "Inbox - Google" folder.

After cleaning up a virus; some webpages do not seem to load properly...I can see parts of them but cannot see all or I cannot use search ordropdown menus.

This virus infected my computer: win32/fakesysdef
I managed to clean it up and retrieve my files etc.However now when attempting to browse online some pages do not open properly or allow me to uses certain features. Such as dropdown menus etc. I use Brighthouse for my connection. Also on Roadrunner email I cannot delete any messages; however gmail functions properly.I do realize that this may not be a problem with Firefox but I must attempt to find all info possible.

We usually advice first to Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache in case of such problem and then do a check for extensions to see if any are causing the problem.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Other possible causes can be zooming a page or having increased the minimum font size.

Cannot use "search" on appstore on iphone

It says "cannot connect to itunes" almost all the time...
whether on WIFI or EDGE, no difference... other functions on AppStore all work except the search function..
is this a common problem?

Hi. I found away to avoid the whole App Store issue. Here is the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAzZtaV2sk4
If you go to http://passsource.com/ from Safari on your phone. Create an account. Then start creating passes. They will show up in your Passbook app next time you open it. I tested it out with a Target gift card - worked great.
(NOTE: I had changed the time to a year ahead and forgot to change it back before I tested this but I wouldn't think it would matter.)

Cannot use Adobe Reader "Mail" button to send via Yahoo mail.

When trying to use the "mail" button in Adobe Reader (or do File -> Send File...) to send the file via Yahoo e-mail, I get the following error:
"An unknown error occurred while uploading the attachment."
Adobe Reader 11.0.10 for Windows.
Getting this error only on Yahoo e-mail accounts
Getting this on multiple Yahoo accounts on multiple PC's.
All PC's have current versions of Reader (11.0.10), all Windows 7/IE11 with current patches.
A client of ours was using this until last week, when it stopped working.
It is not working on any PC right now with Yahoo mail.

Hi johnc46494667,
Please let me know whether you are getting this error since an Adobe Reader update.
Are you signed out of other accounts (except yahoo)?
Does this happen with every PDF file or any particular one?
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Anubha

You cannot use the application "Mail" with this version of Mac OS X

I get the above message when clicking on "Mail" on my backup drive. Could that be because I did not specifically upgrade my backup drive from Tiger to Leopard?
Hope this is an easy one to answer. Thanks

yes, most probably that is an old version of Mail - i.e. Tiger - and is not compatible with Leopard. You would need to replace it with the newer Leopard version of Mail
hope this helps

Cannot use encryption in mail

Hi
I am not able to see the encryption tab when customizing a mail "new message".
I have valid certificates in my keychain. How could I make it?

I think poster needs to read up on the encryption theory a bit. Here is the run down:
1. Public/Private key system is designed to eliminate the issue of securely transmitting the encryption key. Hence the name of 'Public key' and 'Private key'.
2. You never ever share your private key with anyone. If you do, you should throw it away and generate a new public/private pair.
3. To answer your question, you need recipient's public key to send that person an encrypted message that that person and only that person will be able to open with their private key.
4. For the person to send you an encrypted message, he/she should have your public key.
5. If you want to sign your message, you need your private key to accomplish that.
6. It is perfectly safe to email your public key to anyone in clear text as the person in possession of that key can only encrypt an outgoing message or verify the signature on the incoming message.
I think that's the theory.
