Mail can't Select All messages in this Conversation

For years I have used Cmd-Shift-K in Mail to select all messages in the same conversation. This particularly useful, for example, when reading replies to posts in Apple discussions. When I select a message, all the messages with the same topic appear in light blue and Cmd-Shift-K (or View->Select->All Messages in this Conversation) allowed me to select them all.
Since upgrading to Yosemite, the visual cues on the messages are still there (I have the box to "Highlight messages with color when not grouped") but the command to select them is greyed out, and Cmd-Shift-K just beeps in error.
Are other people seeing this?

  • Camera icon displays instead of Trash-Can upon selecting a message in the conversation

    iPhone 5
    iOS 8
    Camera icon displays instead of Trash-Can upon selecting a message in the conversation and clicking on 'Copy/Speak/More...'
    After restart, now it shows Trash-Can again.

    Many were saying that you just needed to turn your phone off and turn it back on after upgrading to ios8.1, so that you could then delete single messages.
    It worked when I did it the first time, but today while sending text messages the trash can disappeared while I was trying to delete some messages.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I find all messages like this?

    What criteria can I use in a smart mailbox to find all messages like this?
    The message from Robert Nicholson <[email protected]> concerning “Hi Testing” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    I have a lot of these because I use IMAP for my mail but there's no point in keeping these messages as they were deleted from the server a long time ago.

    Robert,
    I am not sure what a Smart Mailbox would have to offer with respect to this?
    However, the problem is likely not that the message has been deleted from the server, but that Mail 2.0 has problems with some IMAP servers at displaying some messages.
    I am hopeful, but cannot assure anyone, that a fix is being worked on for this, and perhaps will be available sometime in the future.
    If you were to access with a different version of Mail, such as 1.3.11, or another mail client, you might access these messages. Therefore, I would not be quick to try and eliminate them.

  • Yosemite apple mail select all messages in conversation

    It appears that
    Mail/View/Select/All Messages In This Conversation
    no longer works. The message list UI appears to indicate there are multiple messages in a conversation (they are highlighted, but not selected), but the above listed menu item is greyed out, and using the keyboard shortcut (cmd-shift-k) does nothing.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • End User SPAM Quarantine checkbox to select all messages not working

    We are running SPAM Quarantine on M670 running 8.1.0-476 and accessing with Internet Explorer 9.0.   After logging into the SPAM Quarantine there is a top row check box that normally we can check to select all messages.  This stopped working in IE for us, any idea what setting/option we could adjust to enable it again?
    In Chrome 29, FireFox 23 it works as expected.

  • I just opened my mail on icloud and all messages disappeared from the last year! I have one email left in my inbox which is the most recent. I moved to icloud 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until now. How can I retrieve old messages? Thank you.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

  • I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

    I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
    At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
    You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
    In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.

  • Can I select all flagged photos and move to a flash drive

    Can I select all flagged photos and move to Flash Drive as a group rather than drag and drop one pic at a time?

    Hi David,
    One way you can do it is to create a Smart Album, and make the conditions = Photo Is Flagged. That will put all of your flagged photos into a single album. Then you can export that Album to the Flash Drive via File>Export. Once you set up the Export the way you want it, and then click on "Export" it will bring up your Finder Window, allowing you to select the Flash Drive to export to.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

    I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

  • How can I select all subject related messages from Inbox and Sent folders

    L&G,
    is there any way to select messages containing the same subject from the Inbox and the Sent folder by means of an keyboard shortcut. I.e. I would like to select a message in the Inbox folder and request Mail to display all related mails.
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    not like this. you can do a subject search inside one mailbox or in all mailboxes at once. you can not restrict a search to two mailboxes. even when searching one mailbox you have to enter the search string in the search window. there is no shortcut that will do it for you.

  • Pop email account - no option to leave mail on server - no option to select all messages

    I have recently obtained a Playbook and I use the latest OS version 2.1.0.1314 So, unlike other users, I did not experience the lack of an email application. I think the email application is excellent but it does have a couple of shortcomings. I would expect an option to leave email on the server when deleting emails on the Playbook. I have checked all the types in setup, not just Pop, and none offer this feature. I am a bit puzzled by another post on this site that refers to such an option. Was it a feature previously? I would also expect a bulk selection option so that all emails could be tagged for deletion without having to tag each one separately. These 2 features may well have been requested from Blackberry already and hopefully they will be included in a future release. Do Blackberry have a Suggestion Box?

    Let me try and explain why that option is not required or even relevant to Playbook.
    An email Client like Outlook or Thunderbird goes and gets a copy of your email from the webmail and stores it on your computer permanently. That "pop" action very often deletes the webmail version so you have an option to leave it there or not.
    Playbook messages app is not an email client. Think of it as a remote control for your webmail. It takes a temporary copy of any webmail less than 7 days old (you can vary it between 1 day and 30 days) and whatever you do with it in Playbook happens to webmail. It uses your webmail's own rules for things like storing copies of sent mail.
    If you delete a mail, it deletes it from webmail. If you don't, it doesn't. When it gets to 7 days old it just does not sync with Playbook and you can't see it any more. But it will still be there in Webmail unless you purposefully delete it with Playbook. 
    If you want to delete a whole page, tap the top one and the bottom one at the same time to select all mails between. It is most effective when in Portrail mode. Remember though this will delete them from your webmail.
