How to refine search in Apple Mail

Hello
I have a question and I am not even sure if it can be solved. Is there a way to refine the search in Apple Mail. For example I am looking for those words" Diving Adventure Club" Now mail finds any e-mail which those words appear but not really in the sequence i want them it finds the mails with the word diving or adventure etc but not the string of words i want. I know i have the option to look in subject etc but sometimes that string of words is in the body but not in the subject
is there maybe an add on program i could use
any help appricatd
bernd

You can't, it does not exist in Mac Mail.

  • How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

    Hi folks,
    I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
    So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
    -- Josh

    I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
    Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
    You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
    With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
    After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
    (Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
    Let us know if this helps or hurts.

  • Advanced Search in Apple Mail with Logical Expressions (Attibutes)

    We need to be able to search in Apple Mail, currently version 3.6 (936), with advanced expressions such as the junk mail flag.
    We want to search only within mail flagged as junk with a specific domain, such as a domain.com. Users are not using Junk Mail moving to junk folders yet. All junk is in the inbox until they train the rules.
    Logically speaking this would look something like, FLAG:JUNK FROM:Yahoo.com. I have been unable to find the attribute for flag. It would also be helpful if there was a listing of all attributes that can be searched within mail. This type of list is available through various sources for Spotlight.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Many thanks for the kind reply. I finally installed Thunderbird and so far everything is good.  Time Machine  would, were I using the laptop in a more traditional setting, help resolve this issue. However I am prepping for a year + back pack trip to South America and elsewhere and the MacBook Pro is going along.  What I have done is install Time Machine Editor (since Time Machine is parsimonious about daily updates) and update now once a week. Better than nothing and given what my schedule on the road may be like its a better fit than once a day. One would think Apple would make Time Machine  more controllable particularly in the versions of OSX that are installed in laptops.....
    In any case this is my first MacBook Pro and my first Apple computer but I am a long time Linux/Unix user so feel right at home with OSX. In spite of the mail problem, this is without a doubt  the best laptop I ve ever used....and I ve been using them since they were suitcases
    Regards and many thanks for the kind read and reply.

  • How to Merge Eudora into Apple Mail?

    Mac OS 10.5.8 is now obsolete. So I'm planning to upgrade to Lion 10.7.x.
    Since Lion does not support Eudora, I must switch to some other email client. After many hours of research I have decided to switch to Apple Mail.
    Unfortunately, the two popular conversion applications (Emailchemy and Eudora Mailbox Cleaner) appear no longer in existence.
    Any good tips on how to merge Eudora into Apple Mail on OS 10.5.8 (so I can upgrade to Lion 10.7.x)?
    Thank you.
    Scott "pulling his hair out" in Saint Louis

    Hi folks,
    I just helped someone move 350k messages from a series of Eudora archives to Apple Mail.  Anyone who says they had great luck with Apple Mail directly importing their Eudora messages is either a liar or didn't notice (or care) that their dates were all messed up. So here are some notes.
    First, Eudora Mailbox Cleaner only runs under 10.6 since it's PPC and requires Rosetta.  So you're gonna need a 10.6 or earlier mac (or virtual machine).
    Second, After running Eudora Mailbox Cleaner, you need to poke Apple Mail into rebuilding all those mailboxes.  You can go Mailbox->Rebuild for each one if you only have a handful, but an alternative is to intentionally break (aka delete) Apple Mail's mailbox cache.  You can do this by deleting/renaming the file called 'Mailboxes' (IIRC, I don't have a 10.6 mac in front of me to double check).  Next time you open Apple Mail it will rebuild all your local mailboxes.
    Third, Eudora Mailbox Cleaner will terminate if you throw it a particularly complex (or large group of mailboxes).  I assume it has something to do with the way it walks mailboxes.  You're going to want to break up any mail folder that has a number of large subfolders into multiple folders or imports. So for example, if you had the following structure:
    folder/
    folder/a (big)
    folder/b (big)
    folder/c (big)
    Eudora mailbox cleaner will likely crash.  If you reparent your folder structure so it's something like this:
    folder/part1/a
    folder/part2/b
    folder/part3/c
    This way no individual sub folder contains folders that exceed some magical threshold. I never figured out exactly how/why this happens, but if you put your big mailboxes each in their own folder, the import will usually just work.  You might also have to break up your import into smaller chunks.
    A couple other things to note, Eudora allows pretty much anything in mailbox names including ~><*%$@&/\|` etc.  While most of these will continue to work fine in Apple Mail, it's in your best interest to rename them to something more normalized to steer clear of trouble.
    As for Lion, I never successfully got Lion Mail to import mailboxes created by Eudora Mailbox Cleaner properly.  Either they wouldn't show up at all or they would show up nested with two copies of the mailbox, for example MailboxQQ had messages in it as well as subfolder MailboxQQ/Messages with a duplicate copy of the mail.
    So for me, going from Eudora to Lion Apple Mail I had to do the following:
    Eudora->Eudora Mailbox Cleaner->Apple Mail (on 10.6) then copy the files over to the Lion machine and let Apple Mail (on 10.7) import the 10.6 Apple Mail Mailboxes into it's new 'V2' mailbox format.
    So good luck. A perfect migration is possible, it just takes some work.

  • How to refine search settings in Apple Mail

    I just started using Apple Mail in Lion, and I am not seeing a way to refine the search of my inbox. In particular, I would like to search my inbox by Sender, but I am not seeing how to search by sender or subject. Does anyone know how I might be able to do that?
    Thanks in advance!

    In the mailbox list, below the word "MAILBOXES" and the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, & Junk), you should have some lines like "SMART MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "RSS", "ON MY MAC", and a line with the name of each of your mail accounts. Each of those lines may have subordinate lines indented below it, or they may be hidden. Before Lion, the top-level lines would have standard disclosure triangles to their left like folders, but Lion Mail removed that visual clue in favor of a word "Show" or "Hide" to the right that appears only when you mouse over it.
    The Gmail Spam folder you seek is two folders deep inside your Gmail account.
    Here's my Gmail account listing:
    It has 41 unread messages. If I hover my cursor over the oval with "41" in it, the oval shifts left and "Show" appears. If I click on "Show", I get this:
    If I click on the disclosure triangle left of the "[Gmail]" folder, voila!
    By the way, this intermediate "[Gmail]" folder is specific to Gmail, Google Apps mail sites, and other mail sites using Google's Gmail code, as is the All Mail folder. Other servers will have their own folder structure.

  • Please help, dead end How do you import to Apple mail from Outlook express?

    I have a client with an old Mac G3 tower running OS9 and Outlook Express 5.06. I have read all of Apples Mail help and searched for docs and the discussion board. It appears that since the Mac Pro Intel won't run classic I have to some sort of transfer via another app. I have actually found better info on doing this from a PC but no successful suggestions to do it Mac to Mac. I have moved the Microsoft User Data over, tried directly from Apple Mail, tried loading Mozilla and pulling it in there, no good. How do you do this successfully?

    I think I have figured this out, looks like I might be able to import to Entourage then to Mail, anyone tried this?

  • How do I restore an Apple Mail account to a previous date?

    I have three accounts in Apple Mail: my Exchange server account, and two IMAP accounts. I need to restore ONLY the Exchange server mailbox to where it was on April 1st and can't do so the normal way of having the Exchange mail stores restored.
    Is there anything in Time Machine back on April 1st that will either let me restore this account to that date, or at least act as an archive of the folders and their content that was in this account on that date?
    I see the folders names I need (corresponding to my Mail tree structure) under home/library/mail/exchange/ but when I open any of the folders they each have one .plist file in them...that's it...no messages.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    you still should be able to do it just like I said. When mail is active, start TM and go back to the time point where all those folders were still present. Highlight them and click restore.
    That's how TM is intended to work in Mail. really!
    If you don't believe me and are determined to do it in Finder you can do that too.
    Quit Mail and go to the folder homedirectory/Library/Mail
    select the folder for the mail account that used to contain all those folders.
    Start TM and go back to the time when those folders were there. restore them.
    Finally, move the file Envelope Index from homedirectory/Library/Mail to desktop and start Mail. Mail will say that it needs to import your data. say yes. It will reindex everything and you'll be back to where you want to be.

    There is no Notes sync option in iTunes.
    Also, I can not sign in to MobileMe in my System Preferences. It alway says the member name or passowrd is wrong. How do I find out what my member name is? I only know my Apple ID which is an email addres, and that does not work. I am able to sign into MobileMe on my iPad.

    On your phone.  If you have Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud, and also had notes on the phone prior to turning on this setting, you should have two accounts in the notes app: On My iPhone and iCloud (listed as your iCloud ID). 
    Did you have notes on your phone prior to turn on Notes in Settings>iCloud?  Is Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud now?

  • Can't do search in Apple Mail

    I have installed the update to fix Mail problems in Mavericks but still cannot do a search in Mail so cannot easily find specific messages.

    What finally worked was to not use iCloud at all.
    I've had 3 mailboxes, all gmail and none of them worked with the searchfield in Apple Mail, only in Spotlight. All fixes have been tried, envelope index reset, spotlight and all. No luck.
    Only a complete zero-erase of the drive and a clean install of Mavericks made the search work and when I activated iCloud only that icloud mailbox was being searched nothing else.
    So I did another zero-erase and clean install and setup the 3 google accounts directly. Never did I activate iCloud or made any part of it active. Search kept on working, after all updates, Office 2011 install and updates. Everything works fine, just not with iCloud.
    This iCloud account does contain signatures which install themselves when you enable iCloud, so my guess is that those signatures or settings for Apple Mail cause some sort of malfunction and will prohibit Apple Mail from showing any other results than iCloud from that moment on.
    Of course iCloud is pretty great, but in this case it does something with Apple Mail and limits searchresults...
