Mail fails to search ...

Mail searches and finds ONLY "From" field
all the rest returns "zero" results , even when I'm sitting here looking at the post in the recent mail.
Once before someone cured this problem by telling me to DELETE and REPLACE a certain plist file in the Library. ... it worked like a charm.
however I can no longer find that post, and I have no idea what the file was or where it was.
Suggestions?
Very annoying problem, and it happened several other times and I just did the same fix.
Mac 10.4.11
Mail 2.1.3

  • Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit.

    Hello world... (Mac world that is)
    The message says more "Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit. To try again, quit Mail and choose Log Out from the Apple menu."
    I tried everything. Still does not let me shut down.
    Other programs will not shut down at this time, including Finder. I also know that the Time Machine icon has been spinning for over an hour. So I imagine we are in a loop of sorts.
    Unfortunately, I have had similar troubles before that I did not record. So I figure I start now and see if somebody out there can help me.
    Peace!
    Chopo

    I'm having the same problem (can't logout, shut down or restart), but the referenced solution doesn't seem to apply. I do not get a "Cannot connect to server" message, I just get a "Logout has timed out" message. It seemed to happen after an automatic software update that was supposed to involve a restart, but it hasn't been able to restart since.
    Can you please clarify, what is meant by "delete the AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary, which is located under the root node" (with reference to file loginwindow.plist)?
    This is what the loginwindow.plist file looks like now:
    bplist00Ñ!AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary¢ÒTPathTHide-/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HPEventHandler.app/Ò _N/Library/Application Support/Hewlett-Packard/Software Update/HP Scheduler.app//27
    I was at the genius bar earlier, and they said I need to 'archive and install' in order to 'reset the OS'... but there's got to be a better answer than that, no? Perhaps this plist thing? I'm surprised that even powering off the imac doesn't reset anything... it just comes back the way it was. I'm supposed to bring the 25 inch imac in to the mac store for surgery (archive and install), but seeing several similar cases on this discussion forum, without archive and install identified as the clear solution, I'm in search of a second opinion... or any suggestion for how to simply make this work the way it was before? Is it 10.5.4 that is causing this? Should I go back to 10.5.3?
    Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

  • Mail failed to import after Mavericks upgrade

    Just upgraded to Mavericks and have all current updates - went to open mail and got the following message:
    Mail failed to import.
    An error occurred during the import. Make sure you have available space in your home folder and try again.
    I have a pretty "clean" Macbook Air - not much on it so can't imagine I'm anywhere close to not having available space. Help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List

  • Before Workflow Notification Mailer fails sends failure alert.

    I have a json http fetch interface in my aur backend development repo.
    If that gets merged mainline, it could provide a nice alternative api for userspace tools to utilize, so they won't have to scrape pages.

    I even threw together a few test clients. See the mailing list archive for more info.

  • Mail Fails To Connect In My Office Network, Works on Reboot

    This is baffling me and my network admin:
    Mail fails to connect to any of my accounts at work. But it recovers if I reboot my machine.
    Here is what happens:
    - Mail works just fine at home. Connects to gmail, iCloud, and a 3rd party email account no problems.
    - I get to the office
    - I log in to the office WiFi with my password - for this I have to open a browser window, and enter my credentials.
    (I kind of assume that this is the problem ^^)
    - All my internet connections work fine, I can use the browser to access Gmail etc
    - Mail refuses to connect to any of my email servers, and all accounts go offline
    - Connection Doctor says "Mail can connect to the internet" but all individual connections are red, not reachable. I checked "detail" too - its empty.
    Then I reboot my Mac, and after that everything's happy. Mail connects to my accounts normally, and Connection Doctor marks all as green.
    Since it works on reboot, we can rule out network problems like closed ports etc. So the only thing I can think of is that Mail initially tries to connect as soon as I am on WiFi, then hangs (because I am not logged in yet), and somehow this hang is of a kind that does not recover (I've left it on for hours at a time, no difference, it never recovers).
    Anyone have any ideas about this? Is there some way I can restart networking daemons to kill the hung connections. Or any other way I can diagnose this?

    A captive portal, which is what you have, can work in any of at least three ways: by HTTP redirection, IP redirection, or DNS poisoning. I'm guessing that yours is the last type. In that case, a TTL of zero should be used. If the TTL is non-zero, then Internet applications may not work until the DNS cache is flushed. That happens when you reboot.
    You should discuss the possibility with your network admin. If the network configuration isn't going to be changed, you may be able to avoid the need to reboot by flushing the DNS cache manually, as described in the article linked below:
    OS X: How to reset the DNS cache

  • My mac mail will not search mail anymore and doesn't load attachments anymore

    Does anyone know why this would be happening?
    My mac mail will not search mail anymore and doesn't load attachments most of the time.  When I enter some text in the search box no results come up and I know there are messages that contain the phrase that I've entered.
    Also about 3 weeks ago attachments only get loaded about 1/4 of the way - if that.  So I have to log onto my web based mail program from the host and retrieve attachements or check the messgae with my iphone.
    Please - does anyone know how to fix this?

    I figureed out that spotlight was turned off via terminal -  I shut it off to unmount a disk (which didn't work anyways)
    sudo mdutil -a -i on
    that's the termianl command to turn spotlight back on.  As far as my attachments not fully loading in mac mail on my iMac that still baffles me.

  • Mail fails to import messages after 10.8.5 update

    After the update Mail fails to import my messages and then quits.
    First screen says: Welcome to Mail. To use the new features your existing Mail messages need to be imported....
    Then when I click continue it says: The import failed. An error occurred during the import. Make sure you have available space in your home folder and try again.
    I run mail from inside the container (MacOS folder) and here's what it reads:
    Last login: Mon Oct 21 22:39:50 on ttys001

    I have created another standard user and inside this new account Mail will work perfectly.
    Nothing worked so far. Cherry on the cake : I have a message saying I have a recall on my MBAir SSD drive.
    Please advise on how to solve this issue !
    Cheers,
    ZChef

    Intermediate answer: The app launched correctly and the import process has started.
    It is taking ages though. Over 3 hours for around 30K messages.
    The message count sometimes gets stuck for 20-30 minutes or so and then starts counting again...
    There are ~5K messages left to be imported. I'll let you know if it goes ok.
    Stay tuned for the next and hopefully last episode.

  • Mail will not search in the "on my mac" folder

    Hi everyone,
    I've been trying to come up with a useful solution to essentially archive messages from an email account that is no longer active. I would like to keep these messages searchable in Mail though. I thought if I put them in the "On My Mac" Saved Mail Folder, they would remain searchable, however it appears Mail is not searching this mailbox. Is it just me? It seems like the functionality exists. For example if I select the saved mail on my mac folder and then attempt to search for a message in that folder I have the option of searching All, Saved Mail on My Mac, Inbox etc. but no results from the mailbox appear in the search. Is there any way to change this so I am able to search messages in this folder? Thanks!

    Hey thanks for the reply. My problem was solved by rebuilding the "on my mac" mailbox. Previously I was searching based on the title of an email that I knew was in the folder so I knew there was either a problem with my mail searching feature or it wasn't possible to search that folder.

  • Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly? I used to search for a name and it would find it in All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

    Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
    I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
    Still hoping someone out there can help me.
    thanks,

  • Search function sometimes fails to search phone

    Search sometimes fails to" search my iPhone 4s. Has anyone encountered this bug and is there a fix available?

    I noticed on my iPhone 4 / iOS5, "search failing" today. It might search once, but would then freeze. Even entering the search word the keys would freeze 10-15 seconds per letter. I tried restarting (off and on), rebooting (using Home and Lock buttons), moved the Searched Apps order around, turned off different Searched Apps. Sometimes I might get one search and other times just a black search screen. I accidently pressed and held the Home key until "Voice Command" came on and after that the Spot Light search started working. Go figure! I still believe there might be a problem as the search is real inconsistant searching my Calendar. Sometimes it will not search beyond 5-6 months in the past. I think there is bug in Spotlight Search.
