Email search problems

The email Search function isn't working. Usually I type in a search word, and I instantly get results. Now it seems jammed. What to do?

this may sounnd obvious, but make sure when you do the search you have 'inbox' selected and not an individual email open.
You can try closing the mail app in the task bar and then re-open it.
double tap the home button, press and hold the mail app and tap the red x
tap home button again to return to the home screen and open mail app again

Adblock Plus is blocking my email search tool in Yahoo mail

I have not been able to use "search email" for all my emails, just some. I restarted Firefox today, on recommendation. This disabled my Adblock Plus for some reason! Then I was able to do email search for anything I wanted. But I was getting ads in my yahoo, so I installed adblock plus again, which helped that problem, but now I cannot do email search again.
How do I tell adblock plus to stop blocking my email search?

You can ask advice at the Adblock Plus forum if there are problems with this extension or with a filter list:

Outlook 2010, Exchange 2010 - Searching Problems

Anyone out there able to help with some searching problems some of our users have been seeing?
Searching in OWA works fine but some people have problems when searching for older emails in Outlook. We've rebuilt Outlook profiles, rebuilt the windows index's (which seems to work but only temporarily). If there's a way to schedule the Windows index to
rebuild every night or once week, I'd be very happy to test that out but haven't been able to figure out how to do that.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Hi,
It seems something keeps corrupting the index... Run Anti-virus program and Malicious Software Removal Tool to scan your system, check if there's any virus or malware that may cause the index issue.
If this issue persists, please also go to File tab ->
Options -> Search -> Indexing Options
-> Advanced -> Click Troubleshoot search and indexing, to do some troubleshooting steps to find the possible cause.
I hope this helps.

HT4864 Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for the blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there.

Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for my blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there. Thanks again!

You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

Email search no longer works

With the latest change of the email layout, besides being more cumbersome to use, searching doesn't work anymore. It does not retrieve all the instances of the search term. I tried the from name and the actual from email address and only 1 instance was returned, when there were several of them in my inbox. I need to do this to clear out my email, as I do not use verizon email to read my emai, it is just too annoying. But I need to clear it out periodically as I don't have my email pgm delete them), and now that will take much more manual effort.
Plus it is ridiculous to put web search and email search together, it's too easy to click the web button instead of the mail button

Never mind - I figured it out. I still think the web button should be removed though.

How do you filter an email search (ie: Subject or From) in iOS 7?

How do you filter an email search (ie: Subject or From) in iOS 7?

Hello dh1316
The way iOS 7 searches email has changed. I have made an excerpt of the new way search works.
iPhone User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Search for a message. Scroll to or tap the top of the messages list to reveal the search field. You can search the current mailbox, or all mailboxes at once. Searching looks at the address fields, the subject, and the message body.
Search by timeframe. Scroll to or tap the top of the messages list to reveal the search field, then type something like “February meeting” to find all messages from February with word “meeting.”
Search by message state. To find all flagged, unread messages from people in your VIP list, type “flag unread vip.” You can also search for other message attributes, such as “attachment.”
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

-Norm G.

New document: How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems

Have you ever had problems with PDF attachments sent from Adobe Reader for iOS using Share > E-mail Document?
You may find this document useful to avoid the problems.
How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems
Please let us know if you have encountered different types of problems with PDF attachments. We can look for solutions or workarounds for you.

Unfortunately, we (Adobe Reader mobile team) do not know if/when Apple will fix the attachment problems (software defects) in Apple Mail.
In particular, the attachment problem with Microsoft Outlook (See Problem #2 in How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems) appears to be a long-standing defect that has been known for years. However, Apple has not provided any fix for Apple Mail yet.
Adobe Reader for iOS merely launches Apple Mail (the default mail app on iOS) to send a PDF document as an attachment. Adobe Reader has no control over whether or not to embed a preview image of an attachment in the body of an email message, which is known to cause the problem with Microsoft Outlook (on the receiving side). The same problem happens when you send a single-page PDF document as an attachment along with an email signature from Apple iBooks on iOS.
For now, all iPad/iPhone users can do is to avoid the problems by using the workarounds that are described in How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
When new and different problems with PDF attachments are reported by Adobe Reader for iOS users, we will update the document above.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

BB10 Remote Email search

I got the new Q10, I am still looking for the old way to remote email search (which was under "Advanced search").
This option was a valuable part of the BlackBerry experience in order to be able to always be able to access any emails.
Also, as part of the email experience, is it possible to keep an email for more than 30 days? I have used the blackberry link in order to migrate my old emails to this new device, but old my saved emails are not showing up..
Thank you in advance for the support.
I was a BlackBerry user since the 8330.

Hey jumassillia,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Email search is available in the BlackBerry Hub, click on the magnify glass and click on the 3 dots for more options within the search.
My apologies, currently there is no setting in BlackBerry 10 to keep messages longer than 30 days.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

E72 and Nokia email Major problem

Oh Nokia what have you done. I was using the Nokia email from nokia.email.com and in there I had my yahoo.com email account. You now longer let the yahoo.com address work inside the Nokia email.
So now I had to manually add my yahoo.com email address into the E72, but everytime the phone checks for email, it takes up so much of the phone cpu power all else locks up. Even has dropped my phone call as the whole phone went into a CPU bound state...
Nokia give me back my yahoo.com email in my nokia.email.com account. Let us add them back in. What have you done. You have basically killed anyone from using a Nokia E72 and yahoo.com email address.

As for whether Yahoo is a paid service for pop email or not is not a debate here. If you are a Verizon FIOS or Comcast internet customer in the USA, you get the POP email of Yahoo free. I am one of these so it is free.
But the fact remains. I used to use the Nokia email message service and had YAHOO as one of my email accounts. It picked up my yahoo.com email for over one year with very few issues. Onfe in a while I would have to restart the phone. Then last week it suddenly stopped.
I called customer servuice and they told me that Nokia email service no longer would work as I had it, to delete the yahoo account and re-add it.
When you re-add yahoo.com email address, it forces an IMAP setup (although I can tell you how to make the Yahoo pop work as I was able to override and trick the phone). As soon as you typ in any address @yahoo.com, it forces you to their IMAP setup within the Nokia E72.
So in IMAP setup of yahoo.com email on my main Ey2 screen I have my yahoo.com email account dstatus displayed. It simply says YAHOO MAIL and in parenthesis the number of unread messages. so mine right now says Yahoo Mail (23)
I have the phone set to check for email every 5 minutes... Pick up UPTO the last 100 messages and also pickup upto 500kb of email data (the old Nokia email message service way it would ask you HOW MANY WEEKS to go back and it would pick up most all email except not download attachments)
When the phone checks. it deletes MOST every (NOT EVERY) message in the yahoo inbox. If you are wtaching the main screen, you see the "23" for the amount of unread go all the way down to 1 (never to zero I dont thing) and then count back up to either 23 or if new email is there, it will go higher.
If you are in the yahoo inbox, you see the emails disappear and then re-appear as it deletes and re-synces all the email
Now if you are unlicky to be on the cell phone during call when it does this re-sync, it take so much CPU, that soemtimes I drop, but if I am in the middle of talking, I "zap" out for a second or two and the other person is wondering what happened if I am in the middle of a sentence. Onc again the phone seems to be CPU bound and all else stops working exceopt the retrieval of that email.
So MOST of the time when the phone is checking the yahoo account, it takes up so much CPU that the phone is basically unresponsive.
I seem not to be the only one who is having issues with a Nomkia hone and Yahoo.com
LOOK here there are at least 2 others..
/t5/Messaging-Email-and-Browsing/Nokia-E7-email-syncronisation-problem/td-p/1030213
/t5/Messaging-Email-and-Browsing/E71-email-problem/td-p/1065247
NOKIA's own support people told me that the NOKIA email program changed. Yes it changed and now people are having issues with YAHOO.COM email.
Nopw if you would lik to knopw how to setup YAHOO.COM on a pop.. simply\
create ANY other POP account. It can be real or phoney. Then go back in and simply change the settings for yahoo.
they are simple
user name / login: email address w/o the yahoo.com.
pop: pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp:: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
password: hey its your password. dont ask me
email adress: full [email protected]
this seems to work. it does not kill the phone. It does not re-do all he email every time.
There is something about imap and yahoo.com email that you have messed up here and alot of us are seeing it.
NOKIA what have you done?
All I want back is what I had just over a week ago. Once of the best phones in the world, fully working with my eMail...

Getting rid of email searches in finder

I just searched for the term "Letter to JD" in finder... there are 3 files that match this criteria:
letter to jd
letter to jd 2
letter to jd 3
I had to search through about 200 email messages and a bunch of other crap files in order to actually find the three files that have an exact phrase match in the name of the file.
How do I get rid of these email searches, and how do I get finder to respect the fact that I'm often searching for the exact words I expect to appear in the file?

Make sure Mail & Messages is unchecked in the Spotlight preferences:
System Preferences > Spotlight > select the Search Results tab and uncheck Mail & Messages
Then force Spotlight to reindex:
Open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities) and copy/paste the command below, then hit return.
sudo mdutil -E /
Enter your password (you will not see it on the screen as you type it) then hit return. After you get the Indexing enabled message, type in exit and hit return. You can then close the window and quit Terminal. Spotlight will start reindexed your drive. This can take quite some time. You can check the progress by clicking the Spotlight icon (magnifying glass) on the right side of the menu bar or hitting Command+Spacebar.
