How to quickly find sent items in Mail?

After ugrading to Lion, I'm quickly coming to realize that Apple Mail is one stinking pile of a mess. Prior to Lion, if I wanted to find an email, say to a certain person that contained an attachment, I could highlight the sent mailbox, type the person's name in the search window and boom, all of my sent mail to that person would appear and be sorted by date sent and I could quickly scan for the paper clip icon and the subject line to find my mail fast. How in the world do I get this functionality back in Mail in Lion???

If I quit Mail manually, items get deleted.

    How do you show calendar items in Mail?

    The only way possible to send a non-text file by e-mail is as an attachment. Different e-mail programs will handle JPEG attachments differently. Some will show the attachment within the message and some will not.

  • How can I find text-item description and content in database?

    I make "Actual news" region with text and simple image items.
    With "Custom Search" autoquery I make news portlet with 10 latest news.
    But I will make with PDK-Java discussion portlet, in which users can read and write about last published (last created text item display name and content) news.
    My questions:
    - How can I find text-item description and content in database?

    I have Portal R2
    Thanks in advance.

  • Sent items in mail box are sorted from sender name

    Hi friends, 
    I just purchased P780 two days back & trying to configure my corporate mails ( & also my Yahoo mails ) on it using Active Sync. Everything works fine apart from the fact that when I am going to the sent items, it is sorting all my mails by the sender name ( which is me ) & I am not able to find any configuration where I can change it to sort using receiver name.
    Please help me in sorting out this issue.
    Regards
    Rajesh

    I have the same problem on an A5500 8" tablet.
    Telling us it's a 'known issue' is not a useful response. Please provide a solution.

  • How to view hotmail sent items on my iPad

    I use hotmail on my laptop and have set up email folders in my account. I then set up my hotmail account on my iPhone and was instantly able to view all of my historic sent items and all mail boxes that I previously set up. I then set my hotmail account up on my iPad however the only sent items I can see on my iPad are ones that I sent from my iPad? Can anyone tell me how I can get my iPad to show all of my sent items (including ones sent from other devices too)?? And also my other mail folders that i set up??
    Thanks

    Open settings, select Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Select the Account you what this to work on
    Select Mail Days to Sync
    Change the option to No Limit
    This should give you full access to all of the folders that you have in you email account on your laptop
    Hope this helps

  • IOS 8.1.1 update, restore, now no sent items in mail

    I've just updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 8.1.1 via iTunes using the following process:
    -Create back up (to this computer)
    -Update
    -Restore from backup
    I did this for both my iPhone and iPad and now on both when I go into mail there are no Sent Items.
    This is a big problem.
    Why is this happening?
    Since this happened to both my iPad and my iPhone, and there is no iOS or iOS Updates community (really? why isn't there at least an iOS community?) I've posted this here for now.

    Hi Brian,
    How would that restore my Sent Items?
    I don't think Sent Items are stored on the mail server. If they were, then for example: when you sent an email from your iPhone, that email would be pulled down from the server into the Sent Items folder for the same mail account on your MacBook Pro. That doesn't happen.
    The Sent Items for an iPad or iPhone should be stored in the backup for that device you create via iTunes and be unique to that device. Another example: when you access the same email account from your iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro the emails in the Sent Items folders on each of those devices are unique to said device even tho all the devices are accessing the same mail account.
    This seems like a problem with the backup, the 8.1.1 update, or the restore.
    I just restored the iPad as new, then restored from backup and during that process the iPad screen lit up and said "Slide to upgrade". What does that mean? I'm not upgrading anything, I'm restoring from a backup. How is "Slide to upgrade" appropriate? That doesn't seem right.
    Is there any way to escalate this to actual Apple people? I won't pay for a support request when the problem is with their backup/update/restore.
    I think they've introduced a backup/restore problem with the 8.1.1 update. I don't think this is a "user" problem, I've been syncing, backing up, and restoring iPhones and iPads as long as they've existed. It's pretty straightforward and I'm sure I haven't done anything wrong.
    Any other ideas?

  • Already sent items keeps coming back as sent items in Mail

    already sent items keeps coming back as sent items in Mail

    These are probably not sent from your account. The spammer has just ''borrowed ''your email address and is using it as the return address of the junk they are sending. If they were coming from your account they would be in the Sent folder.
    They have your address. There is not much you can do about it now. They will get bored with you and move on soon.
    Google '''email backscatter''' to learn more about what is going on.
    FYI: People posting email addresses in an open forum like you did in your example is exactly how spammers get their victims. That is not a very good idea if you want to protect your personal info.
    I suggest that you edit your post and remove your example. It is of no help and does more harm than good.

  • How do I find sent mail which is disapeared?

    Hello, sometimes Mail does remove sent emails. Now I want to find an email back, because it's really important. Is it possible to find it back, althought it's not on the server or any of my devices? It seems to be that this bug appears since the last IOS-update.
    Thank you for your advice!

    My sent mail appears in Sent mailboxes in every single one of my email accounts. I have four of them on the iPad and the behavior is the same in all four. One is POP and the other three are IMAP accounts.

  • How can I find sent photos from IPHoto?

    There doesn't seem to be a way to see what photos I sent to whom on IPhoto. I sent a photo today to someone but I can't find it anywhere. This is not a good thing.  Does anyone know how to find these emails that were sent? Thanks.

    iPhoto is not an email client and the mail feature is a handy way to send a snap to Grandma rather than a replacement for an email app. It does not have an outbox, for instance. You can opt to bcc yourself on photos though or simply use an email client.

  • How to sync macmail sent item to webmail

    While sending email from my mac, error message prompt :" The Sent Mailbox could not be created on the mail server. The local 'Sent Messages' mailbox was created instead." How do i sync my mailbox to my email acct?

    The only way to do what you want is to keep your mail on an IMAP server. Find out from Verizon whether it offers that service. If not, you'll have to get it somewhere else.

  • Advice for audio import and how do i find the item ID?

    Hi all,
    I am a bit stuck and hoping for a bit of help. i need to add voice over to my project but i am a bit stuck as to the best way to do this. My project is in Chinese and has Chinese captions. I don't speak any Chinese at all.
    In terms of the voice recording i don't know anyone that speaks Chinese so i am sending the text captions externally to get them recorded. As i don't speak Chinese i am a bit nervous about the import process and what the final output will sound like.
    In my export document i can see each caption has an item id - my audio files will come back as an individual recording for each caption, i am assuming they will name the files the same as the item id in the word doc.
    My question is - i have a slide with 4 captions - when i export the captions they are each assigned a unique item id - say the voice over person records each of these captions and then they are named with the item id - what is the most efficient way of importing them back in and assigning them to the correct caption? Is there a way of seeing the caption's item id within Captivate? if i could then i could check the caption's item id and then import the corresponding audio file to it. In the absecen of being able to see the item id how will i know which caption each audio fuile belongs to? i could try to decipher iot based on the caption's text and compare that to the text in the word doc but that will take forever and as i don't know any chinese is not very foolproof
    maybe i am doing this all wrong and there is an easier way??
    Please help !
    Thanks

    If you printed the Network Configuration Page, then it SHOULD be on it. It's named 'Hardware Address(MAC)' on the page. If you don't find it there, which is highly unlikely and surprising, then look at the back of the printer for a white label with a Wireless and LAN symbol on it, and the Mac address will be there.
    But to be honest, Mac Filtering is not the best form of security for wireless networks. It can be easily bypassed\intruded by wi-fi network hackers. It's better to assign a WPA or WPA2 security with a WPA key longer than 13 characters. This is nearly impossible to crack currently. So if they can't find the WPA key, they can't connect to the network... which will render Mac Filtering completely useless.

  • How can I find the item number?

    Good day everyone!
    If I have a drop down list and want to find the number of the selected item, how do I work it out?
    The boundItem method gives me the current data value, but I need the item number. The mission is to add instances to another drop down list with child nodes of the value chosen in the first drop down list.
    I've tried out the currentRecordNumber property, but I can't make it work. In Adobe XML Form object Model Reference they puts up
    xfa.dataWindow.currentRecordNumber
    but without any further reference to the current dropdownlist in that code, I don't understand how it works.
    Please help me out.
    best regards,

    Hi!<br /><br />Thank you for your response! <br />I still don't get it right though after trying different methods over and over again and I therefore have two questions.<br /><br />1) Why do you use the <i>getElement</i> method to get an attribute? It would make more sense to me if you suggested the <i>getAttribute</i> method instead. Now, I have been trying out some different combinations of these two methods with the @ symbol, but without success. The getAttribute is described both in this forum and in the Adobe XML Form Object Model 2.2 Reference, but always in combination with recordSet. The recordSet object is a part of the sourceSet model which is used in OLEDB connections. I don't use that and wonder if I could use the getAttribute solely on the dataValue itself. I.e.the loaded XML looks somewhat like this:<br /><cars><br /><carowner carproducer="Ford">Person A</carowner><br /><carowner carproducer="VW">Person B</carowner><br /><carowner carproducer="Lexus">Person C</carowner><br /><carowner carproducer="Ford">Person D</carowner><br /><carowner carproducer="Nissan">Person E</carowner><br /><carowner carproducer="Volvo">Person F</carowner><br /><carowner carproducer="VW">Person G</carowner><br /><carowner carproducer="Ford">Person H</carowner><br /></cars><br /><br />var persons = xfa.resolveNode("$data.car");<br /><br />for (counter=0; counter<a.length; counter++)<br />{<br /><br />if (persons.nodes.item(counter).getAttribute("carproducer").value=="Ford")<br />{<br /><br />listBox1.addItem(persons.nodes.item(counter).value;<br /><br />}<br /><br />};<br /><br />Certainly there would be several faults in the code above, but please comment the getAttribute part.<br /><br />2)<br />All this (the methodology above) is described in the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference for Acrobat 7.0 in the chapter showing the XMLData object (page 639) using a applyXPath and parse. If I use copy&paste from this manual and insert as a function in a script object,it works just fine. Are there any tips on how I can make it work on the nodeList XFA object?<br />The following test is attached to the description of the applyXPath method:<br /><i>NOTE: An exception is thrown when the value of this parameter is a nodeList XFA object instead the root of an XML tree, as required.</i><br /><br />best regards, <br />Håkon
