Mail.app : smart Mailbox misbehaves with condition "any"

Weird problem I found out today.
I created a Smart Mailbox to help me filtering messages to a certain company (for example : Apple)
the condition in the Smart Mailbox is "entire message contains Apple"
It works fine.
I want to add a second criteria to group messages about a second company (for example : Mac)
the conditions now look like : "contains messages that match ANY of the following conditions"
entire message contains "Apple"
entire message contains "Mac"
It doesn't show any result at all !!!!
Trying to do the filtering by changing "ANY" to "ALL" works correctly.
What's wrong here ? Do I have a wrong perception of what "ANY" means ?

Thanks for the info !
Not that it helps a lot here, but at least it reassures me on my mind sanity ! :-)

Lion Mail lost Smart Mailboxes after reboot! Any hints?

Hello,
i created several SmartMailBoxes in Apple Mail.
After reboot they are gone.
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData rights are correct (644 for owner and grp staff)
And no messages at the console.
System: MBA 2011 with 10.7.3 and an exchange and MobileMe account.
Any hints?

Are they gone or just hidden? Place your cursor on the Smart Mailbox title in the sidebar and text should appear to show mailboxes if this is the case.

Mail.app and Exchange 2007 with Rollup 3 ... anyone get it to work?

Spent way too much time on this...
After finding our our Exchange 2007 server didn't have the legacy components installed to ensure WebDav would work, we can now connect to our Exchange 2007 mail server from Microsoft Entourage for all Windows Active Directory accounts.
For Apple Mail however, this is not the case. Opening mail, the account information does default in accurately (email, userID, exchange 2007 server) when I enter a users password, it says that it is unable to connect to mail server user/password failed.
If I manually create the account, the same thing occurs, a pop-up appears prompting for a password, which I enter and it comes back saying it isn't valid.
The password is valid because on the same Mac I open up Entourage and log in.
Keychain is NOT used and none of the passwords are held because of the headaches this causes.
Looking for ideas, thinking this is more of an Apple Mail.app bug not working with Exchange than a Microsoft issue.

Just want to add to this...it was resolved the Advanced tab is very important on mail.app.
The Advance tab authentication must match what the Exchange server/Active Directory is using.
For us NTLM is what we need to use.
Also we found that one exchange server had a bad installation while another had no problem connecting via mail.app.
Thus the installation is going to be looked at.

Windows 8.1 Mail app does not sync with the Office 365 account

My company has recently switched to Office 365. Windows 8.1 Metro Mail app does not work with Office365 account. When I switch to IMAP it works but that is soon going to be disabled and is not compliant with the company policy.
I can add the account and it also pushes the security policies but it does not sync email at all. Says account is not available. The tablet shows up on the mobile devices on the office 365 and I could also remote wipe it.
It seems everything works except basing email sync. What could be the issue?

there's a bunch of reading here:

There might also be some useful discussions in the dedicated O365 forum:

What mail app. should I have with OSX 10.6.8

What mail app. should I have with OSX 10.6.8

Incidentally, the mail version is tied to the OS you are using (10.6.8) in your case. You can always check by running software update.

Smart mailbox issues with "any recipient" or "from" in 10.4.11, mail 2.1.3

smart mailbox isn't reacting to its rules correctly. I have added a new group in adressbook then created a smart mailbox with "sender is member of group" and set the group accordingly. No joy.
I also tried right clicking an adress in a message and choosing "create smart mailbox". The rule is: from, contains, "adress that i right-clicked". no joy.
am i missing something?

Good news, great to hear!
But with the problems you ebded up with, at the very least do this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.

IPod Touch mail app smarter/pushier than MacBook with Gmail?

This overlaps multiple categories, starting inquiry here first.
Why doesn't my MacBook's mail program update read-vs.-unread Gmail like my iPod Touch does? I read a message on the dedicated app on my 'Touch and it counts as "read" on Gmail; I read a message on my MacBook, and no, not registered as read on Gmail. Likewise, my MacBook "send" folder only has messages sent from my MacBook, not all my Gmail-sent messages. I've tried setting options to be as "pushy" as I know to make them in my MacBook, but what'm I doing wrong? Thanks for any info.

Me again. I've discovered the mail app works when I set the firewall from maximum to typical. Is there any way to tell it to let it work on maximum?

Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

Mail.app - Multiple mailboxes on same AD-account

Mod may move my question the the right section of the community.
Hello,
Trying to set up my work-mailboxes in the Mail-app. I have my personal email ([email protected]) but also several other mails (for example: [email protected] och [email protected]) that is used by more people than me. Permissions to these are controlled via the AD-account (AD\myname).
I manage to set up my personal mail ([email protected]) without any problems, but when it comes to adding the other mailboxes, mail just won't do it.
I get an error message "An error accoured trying to set up the Mail-account. An unknown error occurred"
Does anyone have any idéas on how to set up Mail with several mailboxes controlled by the same AD-accound?

Hello FRA_ALLEN.
I tried to add a new POP account c@mydomain and got a failed message
- username or password not correct.
Please, post the exact error message you get when trying to do that. To get the error message in English, go to System Preferences > International, move English to the top of the list and restart Mail.

Smart mailboxs does not show any content.

I have a 27" iMac, late 2009, running iOS 10.10.2. None of my smart mailboxes show any content. I have rebuilt my mail and checked the smart mailbox conditions. I created a new smart mailbox, Unread, Delivered this week, and still no content. Thanks,

Have you reindexed your mail by deleting these three Envelope files from the Users/Home/Mail/V2/MailData folder and rebooting?

Smart Mailboxes work with Junk folder

I'm trying to get a smart mailbox to populate with certain messages from my Junk folder. This use to work, but now it doesn't. Even though my Junk folder has hundreds of emails, none show up in my Smart Mailbox.
any advice?
Thanks!

Sorry to have misled you. I just tested creating a Smart Mailbox with criteria that I knew should pick up a message I had purposefully left in the Junk, and found that it would not. I then noticed that in the creation window you have to explicitly enable it to include Trash and Sent, so the clear implication is that Junk is not even an option.
The selection in Mail Preferences/General is apparently applicable only to actual searches, and not the search criteria of a Smart Mailbox.

Lost Mail in Smart Mailbox

I tried to edit a Smart Mailbox and lost all my mail in the smart mailbox when I hit the "-" to remove a double entry. The original entry remained and I added another entry and also I reentered the one I had removed. However, nothing now appears in that Smart Mailbox although there are message in the Inbox that meet the criteria.
Is there any way to recover my lost mail in the Smart Mailbox and how do I get the messages into it that are in Inbox?
Thanks.

You didn't lose the mail by doing this, you understand. A Smart Mailbox is like Smart Folder in Finder. It just shows you all mail that matches a set of requirements.
At this point you just need to think it through and re-enter the Smart Mailbox requirements (being careful about the "that match ALL" and "that match ANY").

Mail App no longer connecting with Hotmail accounts

I have had my hotmail accounts connected to my Mail app on my iMac for years, no problem. As of yesterday the Mail App wil no longer connect with any of my hotmail accounts. It is connecting with my gmail accounts.
The error message I get is: "UNable to receive Mail: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “EKRDL” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “pop3.live.com” refused to allow a connection on port 995"
Hep anyone? What is happening here?

You're welcome.
How the heck did you figure that one out?!
I didn't, actually. Someone else in this forum (and probably other people in other forums as well), figured it out by looking at the changes introduced by the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update, and checking his/her own settings accordingly:

Windows 8 Mail App - Not setting up with Office 365 Account

Hi - I'm trying to get an Office 365 Exchange account set-up with the Windows 8 Mail app. It's giving me an error stating the following:
To sync this account, you first need to: Make your Windows user account an administrator.
I do not want to give admin privileges to the individual user account on Windows (as the error is stating that it wants me to give admin privileges to the local Windows 8 account - not on Office 365) and I cannot find any restriction set-up in the admin
console/settings on Office 365 (or in Widows 8) that would require this privilege.
This same account (on Office 365) can connect fine via Outlook 2010 and a Windows Phone 7 mail app.
How can I solve this?..

Derek,
Can you please share the UAC setting or GPO settings you used to fix this in Windows 8? I've gone to the lowest available setting in the UI (there appears to be a lower limit that a NON-admin user can manually set UAC to and to get any other levels,
you need to use GPO) and still no luck.
Thx,
DML

Lion Mail.app won't sync with Exchange 2003

Hello,
After upgrading to Lion, I am having an issue with my Exchange email in Mail.app. I get new emails, however if I file any emails from the Inbox into another folder and then leave view another folder or exit Mail, when I return the emails are back in the Inbox again. It is as if Mail is not syncing my changes up to the Exchange account.
This issue did not begin until I moved to Lion. I have compared my settings to another co-worker, who is also on Lion and connecting to Exchange 2003 and everything appears to be the same.
Thoughts? Solutions?

RevRangwar,
Yes, I think I was. I went ahead and removed my Exchange account from Mail and re-created it as Exchange IMAP, and it appears to have resolved the issue.
Thanks for the help.
