How to Search Email in Multiple Folders at Once?

Hi,
I know how to search email in one folder, but how to search email in multiple folders at once? The only way I can think of is to go to each folder and issue a search on each folder. But if there are 10 folders, I will have to run search function 10 times. I tried to just use the folder I got from getDefaultFolder ( ) to do the search and think that it maybe the root of all folders, but it doesn't work. I have to getFolder (each_folder) and search 10 times. Does anyone know how?
Thanks.

I just want to do a global search in all folders in the most efficient manner.Iterating or recursing over the folders is not "inefficient". It's the only way to search them all. And if the API provided a method to do that "all at once," that method would still have to be iterating or recursing anyway. It doesn't matter if it's your method or theirs that makes the multiple calls.
There is a major difference between issuing one search command as a global search and 10 search commands to all 10 folders because of all these round trip traffics.And you know this because you've profiled and measured? Or you're just assuming.
Now, if you're talking about the overhead of establishing 10 network connections vs. 1, then, yes, potentially it could make a difference. But that will most likely be dwarfed by the act of searching anyway.
When there's an obvious solution in front of you, don't just go assuming it's "inefficient."

  • How to send emails to Multiple Users from a Single People Picker lookup field using Sharepoint designer workflow

    Hi All,
    I am working with SharePoint 2013 designer workflow. we are using office 365.
    Our requirement to send email to multiple users, get the user groups from lookup list people and groups column.
    But SP designer sending emails to the first user alone.
    Please guide me to proceed.
    Advance Thanks.
    Regards
    Jenkins NS
    Thanks and Regards Jenkins

    finally I got a solution
     Identified a workaround to solve the issue using SharePoint designer.
    Step 1
    Create a lookup list Example department
    Columns
    Title (by default) – Single line of text
    Users – Person or Group
    Emails – Multiple lines of text
    hidden the Emails column (go to content type and set the column as hidden)
    Create a SharePoint designer Workflow
    Start Workflow automatically when an item is created
    Also Start Workflow automatically when an item is changed
    Workflow Stage 1
    Set Emails to current Item: Users
    The workflow will get all users email ids and add in the Emails column delimiter as semicolon.
    Step 2
    Create a custom list to get the email ids and send email
    Create a lookup column ex: analysis and refer department list, Allow multiple values
    Then Create a SharePoint designer workflow

  • How to send emails to multiple contacts w/o posting individually

    how do i send emails to multiple contacts w/o posting them individually. previously i would hold down the "command" key and they would all go to the "to" area?

    Enter a group name from your address book at to, cc or bcc and mail will fill up the group members with a valid email address. If a contact has more than one email address, you can choose which one you will use.
    There are also some preference im mail under compose for handling the address book and groups.
    Please consider, not everbody wants his email shown to other! Maybe you should enter your own mail address at "to" and your contacts at "bcc".

  • Import images from multiple folders at once?

    I know that Lightroom handles this as expected, but I cannot work out how to get Aperture to import everything within a folder including all of it's subfolders. For example, my photos are organised by Lightroom in folders per day, eg. 2006-10-12. It's getting tedious having to go through every single folder to import, but if I try selecting multiple folders, or the folder that contains these then none of the photos appear. What is the solution?

    Try File->Import->Folders as Projects... and in the Pop-up menu you can choose Import Folders as: Projects and Albums or Folders and Projects from the drop down. You can also choose the sub folder structure. You should be able to choose multiple folders and have all the folders and sub folders organized the way you want. Give it a test try before committing a large number.

  • How to search all files in folders/subfolders for one or more strings?

    I have a list of files (full path and file name) in Column D of my worksheet.  I'm trying to figure out how to run some code to open each file in this array (starting on D14 and going down), search for one or more strings, and then put an "X"
    in Column I, in the same row as the file name.
    How can I do that?
    I experimented with a few samples of code.  It seems pretty easy to do it in one folder, but not all sub folders.  The folder/subfolder is setup a specific way for a specific purpose.
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Below is an example that allow you to search a directory and its subdirs txt files(you can change this), read its lines and search for specific word:
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Linq;
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    try
    var files = from file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(@"c:\", "*.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
    from line in File.ReadLines(file)
    where line.Contains("Microsoft")
    select new
    File = file,
    Line = line
    foreach (var f in files)
    Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}", f.File, f.Line);
    Console.WriteLine("{0} files found.", files.Count().ToString());
    catch (UnauthorizedAccessException UAEx)
    Console.WriteLine(UAEx.Message);
    catch (PathTooLongException PathEx)
    Console.WriteLine(PathEx.Message);

  • How to set emails for multiple users?

    Hello,
    We have a scenario, where there are several users whose email is not set in "My Account". We want to set this in one shot, what is the best bet for us?
    Also we want to send email to a person outside OBIEE infrastructure, how can we do this?
    Please reply

    I've found the same problem in OS X Lion, with Mail, iCal and Address Book getting confused when two Exchange accounts on the same server are configured, resulting in either missing or duplicate entries (despite everything appearing fine when accessing the accounts individually via Outlook or OWA).  iOS doesn't have any problem with this setup; two Exchange accounts on the same server work perfectly; the issue seems specific to Mac OS X.
    After some experimentation I've found a workaround.  Since the issue crops up with two Exchange accounts on the same server, it seems possible to trick OS X into thinking the accounts are on two separate servers through a little DNS manipulation (which I realize may not be a practical option for everyone).  Here's what resolved the issue for me:
    My external and internal DNS FQDNs for the mail server were mail.mydomain.com.
    I set up a new DNS entry - mail2.mydomain.com - as a CNAME for mail.mydomain.com.
    On my Mac, I set up Exchange account #1 with the server set to mail.mydomain.com.
    I then set up Exchange account #2 with the server set to mail2.mydomain.com.
    Even though both FQDNs resolve to the same IP, this seems sufficient for Mac OS X to consider them as separate servers, elliminating the problems I had before when I set both Exchange accounts to the same mail server FQDN.
    I've only tried this on OS X 10.7 Lion, and the recent 10.7.1 update, although I wouldn't be surprised if the same trick works for earlier versions of OS X.

  • How can I send an email to multiple contacts at once and have them not able to see the list or emails of the other persons included on the email?

    Im trying to send one email to a list of people from my contact list but don't want them to be able to see who all is on the email list.

    You use BCC instead of TO when addressing the message.
    BCC = Blind Carbon Copy
    The easiest way to do this is using the Contact Sidebar in the Write window. Press F9 to turn it on when a Write window is open.
    Select all the contacts for the message. Hold the control key while clicking the contacts to select multiples. Then use the Add to BCC button at the bottom.

  • How to filter emails in corresponding folders

    Hi Guys,
    This is my first post on here so go easy. I wanted to know if it was possible to automate a move of an e-mail into a corresponding folder in Microsoft Entourage based on the the start of the "subject" title.
    Example Subject. "A1978 xxxxxx" automatically gets moved into a folder starting "A1978 xxxx".
    As i'm new to this I cant seem to find any Microsoft Entourage actions built in. Is there a pack which could help me to achieve this. Any screen grabs of how this would be put together would as be of great help.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I'm not aware of a way to programmatically create a new mailbox folder (maybe the folks in the AppleScript forum [here|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724] know) in Entourage.
    If the folder is already created, then setting up a rule should be straightforward. I have Entourage 2008 and you setup rules via the Tools menu -> Rules... (I'd imagine Entourage 2004 is pretty much the same):
    Note in the picture above I have no sub-folders so I have set to move mails to the Inbox (which obviously wouldn't do anything in reality to the messages )

  • How to search markers from multiple sequences

    I'm trying to figure out a way to search marker keywords from multiple sequences within a single PrProj file. I have several sequences imported into a single project file, and each of the sequences have several markers with keywords. Is there a way to search all the markers from all the sequences without having to select each individual sequence and search each one?

    Hi Charliepus,
    Is there a technical reason why this fundamental feature is not available? a reason other than "because"? that's the reason I got from support chat. seriously, the lack of global marker search is like a dictionary out of alphabetical order.
    I'm not sure the exact reason, but anything's possible with software. If you have a moment, feel free to create a feature request: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
    I think it would be a great (if not necessary) update to this feature.
    Thanks,

  • How to Send Emails to multiple persons for message notification

    Hi ,
    I have a ORG unit & a Postion defined under it . users have been defined under the postion also. However when a message under the respective  ORG unit , the mail goes to 1 person who has been marked with a BP ( BP of orgunit) as mentioned in the Email field of the orgunit .   How do we have different persons notified as mentioned under the Postion field ??
    Regards
    Kumar

    Dear Fr,
    You need to define a group mail and assign this in this Business partner.
    For e.g in the ticket you have a field Developer and there are several Developer
    Then in this case create a Group mail for all the developers
    Assign this to a BP common say DEV and enter the earlier created Group mail in this BP.
    So whenver you have assign the ticket to DEV the group of developer wil get mail.
    PLEASE REWARD POINTS.

  • How do I twirl open multiple folders in the Finder?

    I have a main folder. Inside of the main folder are 55 folders. Inside of EACH of those 55 folders are two files: an audio file and a video file. I need to copy all of the audio files to another drive. What I want to do (in my main folder, in list view) is twirl open all 55 folders, select all 55 of the audio files, and copy them over to my other drive.
    Is there a way to do this? Or am I just going to have to manually twirl open each of the 55 folders?
    (I'm at work, where I'm using Mountain Lion on a Mac Pro. But I have Mavericks at home.)
    (And, yes, I'm aware of the irony that it has taken longer to submit this question than it would have taken just to manually twirl open each folder, which is what I'm going to do after submitting this. But knowing the answer to this will be REALLY good to know for future reference! Thank you.)

    Select all the folders and then press the Command and right arrow keys.
