[Help] Using smart mailbox: the "Subject" and "From" switching back

Hi, I got a problem about setting up a smart mailbox. I set the rule of
--> Subject, Does not contain, xxxx (some words)
and click OK to close the smart mailbox setting window. However, when I reopen the smart mailbox setting (use "Edit Smart Mailbox..."), the rule is changed to
--> From, Does not contain, xxxx (some words)
I try to change it back to "Subject", but it doesn't work. Every time when I re-open the smart mailbox setting, the criterion "Subject" switches to "From". This trouble only can be found when using "Subject" criterion. Why? Is this a bug in Mail? This bothers me a lot.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Any comment is appreciated.
I am using Leopard.

I had sent a feedback from Mail.app addressing my problem about the Smart Mailboxes. You can send the feedback about your condition by using Mail --> Provide Mail Feedback...
I still didn't get any response from Apple. I am sure there should be someone out there having same problem. If you don't have same condition as mine, it would be nice to leave a comment here. Maybe we can figure out the problem together.
Any comment is appreciated.

  • Why are emails downloaded with the subject and from address different from what is actually in the email?

    The subject and from address listed in the message pane are totally different from what is in the actual email, viewed either in the preview pane or when the email is opened. The emails are correct when viewed online. For example:
    Email subject A from Sender A - email A
    Email subject B from Sender B - email B
    Email subject C from Sender C - email C
    After downloading to Thunderbird:
    Email subject A from Sender A - email A
    Email subject B from Sender B - email B
    Email subject C from Sender C - email A *** Subject and Sender for C but is actually email A
    This started happening within the past month and appears to be random. Sometimes everything is correct. But more often there are a few that exhibit the above behavior. I have multiple email address downloading from the same domain but this problem seems to occur ostly with my main email account.

    Try to rebuild the index file of the troubled folder.
    Right-click the folder - Properties - Repair Folder

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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 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.

  • Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7)

    Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

    What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

    What I am saying is ..........
    The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
    The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship  with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
    With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount  usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
    This is how O2 function and according to Gemma  this is how Vodafone work

  • My email only shows the "to" and "from" info but not the content of the email. Please help. Thanks

    My email only shows the "to" and "from" info. There is no information at all in the body of my email messages. Please help. Thanks.

    Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail icon. Tap the home button twice.
    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.

  • Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared.  Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos.  How do I get them back?

    I have an iPhone 5S

    You restore from the backup that contained them.
    Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone.

  • Help!!! I can not make or receive calls! other functions itself. Internet, sms, whatsapp work. I restored as new iphone from the phone and from itunes and still not working.

    I can not make or receive calls! other functions itself. Internet, sms, whatsapp work. I restored as new iphone from the phone and from itunes and still not working.
    Sorry for my english i'm spanish

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • Duplicate messages in search results (when using Smart Mailboxes, etc)

    I've recently started using Search Folders more and more in Mail.app
    I've encountered this very annoying bug/feature, where duplicate messages show up in a search (inside Mail). The duplicate messages are showing up multiple times (once, for each Smart Mailbox they reside in) as well as their physical Mailbox, as well as "All Mail".
    The lowdown:
    Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.4 Build 9E17)
    Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 -----(shut up! it still rocks w/my multiple 23'' apple displays)
    2GB RAM
    Mail.app Version 3.3 (926.1/926)
    This feature/bug makes it VERY difficult to find things when I'm forced to sift through at least 3 copies of any message that appears in Smart Mailboxes.
    Should I stop using Smart Mailboxes because this is a deliberate feature?
    Any suggestions or thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.
    In a search, I think that a better way to display the multiple locations (through Smart Mailboxes, etc) that a mailbox "appears" would be to add something to the header section of a message, below everything else, or off to the right, which would indicate the Original (physical) folder a message exists in, as well as it's locations via Search Folders. This would at least eliminate the problem where they're showing up as two, three, or more COPIES within a search.
    Thanks,
    Jackson

    Hi Christiaan !
    I understand your problem. Could you set your IMAP account to avoid multiple simultaneous sessions?? maybe if there is only one session allowed per user or per time, then parallel XI threads will not be able to start downloading the messages.
    If you cannot use a longer poll interval, then you could develop an adapter module for the Mail sender adapter that could be used to verify if the current mail is just being downloaded by other thread. This adapter module could check the unique mail data (date/time + subject + etc.) against a local table.
    Regards,
    Matias.
    PD: please award points if helpful.

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
    I hope this helps.

    Well if u just want to view the website contents on your mobile then open the web browser in your mobile and open the desired web site, or u can use opera mini for this if your phone supports this.
    And if u want to fetch the contents of some site to your application, use GCF api.

  • Alerts from BPM Email Subject and From address should be changed.

    Hi All,
    I'm raising an alert from BPM by using Container operation  and Control steps.
    The below details are appearing in the Email. Is there any way to change these standard steps... ?
    From:     WF-BATCH at K.local
    To:         SAPSupport at k.com
    Subject:  Process 000000021589
    Alert ID:   ##00010##
    I want to change the
    - Subject name with my own subject line.
    - From address should be changed to it.helpdesk at k.com instead of WF-BATCH at k.com
    - I checked in some of the threads, looks like there is limitation in terms of characters in the Email body(127 characters)? Is there anything I can do to extend the email body?
    Kindly suggest me.
    Thanks
    Deepthi

    Hi Baskar,
    // You can pretty much change the subject title and recipient information easily. Click on fixed recipients to modify mail address.
    Recipients list is fine. I can change. How about the Sender Email address?
    Ex:  WF-BATCH.. Since the errors are generated from BPM, the sender userid will be always WF-BATCH.
    I want to change this user id into my custom user id.. is it possible?
    2. Also I enabled Dynamic Text in alert category which is used to get the dynamic text from mapping.. Hence i cannot use Short and Long texts tab in Alert Category to generate the subject line.
    Hence Subject line is coming with process ID, looks like I cannot change?
    Thanks
