Mail with Yosemite OS doesn't work fully with Hotmail IMAP

First of all my question:
How do I set up Mail properly in Yosemite OS so it works fully with Hotmail IMAP?
My problem:
I can receive and send mails through the hotmail IMAP account but I am not able to search inside mail content, mail headers or anything near mail data for any hotmail mails.
My setup:
account type: IMAP
e-mail: [email protected]
- incoming mail:
server: imap-mail.outlook.com
user: [email protected]
port: 993
use SSL
authentication: password
- outgoing mail:
server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
user: [email protected]
port: 587
use SSL
authentication: password
I have 6 other mail accounts (5 IMAP and 1 POP) setup, and they work without any problems at all.
Other details:
My Spotlight search neither finds the hotmail mails.
I can cycle manually through all the hotmail mails and see all content, but when I search for the content the mails doesn't appear.
Perhaps this is a bug in Yosemite Mail?
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Try re-indexing Spotlight..

I've changed my ID mail and now iCloud doesn't work on iPhone

I've changed my ID mail and now iCloud doesn't work. Everything is working, even if I access to iCloud from Safari (with my new ID) but i have the problem on my iPhone and iPad.
It keeps asking my password and the mail is the one i had before, it's like it didn't change. I've tried both passwords, old and new and no solution. I've changed twice the password thinking it would be the problem and still isn't working.
So now I can't do anything because there's no password to access so i can't even delete my iCloud account.
Is there anything i can do to make it work? It's weird that everything works except this.
Thanks
P.S.: Sorry for my english, it's not very good.

Alright, please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here: http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.

I have a MacBook Pro Retina (2,3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 - Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB). I use KompoZer for my website, but after installing OS X Yosemite it doesn't work right (I cannot see images in the website).

It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

Mail.app redirect script doesn't work

I'm trying to script a batch process to redirect selected messages in the Mail application. I found a nifty script on macosxhints.com--only one problem: it doesn't work with 10.4's Mail.
The script fails ("variable is undefined") when trying to get the result of:
redirect message with opening window
According the the Mail dictionary, redirect should return an "outgoing message". Instead it appears to be undefined, and I can't figure out how to manipulate the newly created message to change the recipient, sender, etc.
Any ideas?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

has anyone gotten this script to work with 10.4.6?

Mail and Address Book doesn't work together!!!

Since I converted addresses from Filemaker 7 to Address Book, the automatic fill in, in Mail doesn't work anymore.
The option: "fill in address automaticly" is active in the preference menu in Mail.
The problem feels not consequent, this means; some of the addresses are shown up in mail, others don't. I cannot find out where to search for the problem.
Who knows which file I can delete or any other solutions?????

You can check by dragging ~(YourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist to the desktop. Then relaunch AddressBook.
You could do the same with "com.apple.Mail.plist" but it contains all email account settings and general mail preferences, so you will have to set up your account info again.
Also you might try deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook.

HT1338 On macbook MAIL the search function doesn't work?

On my macbook retina pro with latest updated softwares the search function in "MAIL" doesnt work. It is supposed to be pretty simple fucntion and on my iphone and othe rmail programs it works fine. However once i type anything in "Search bar" at top right then inbox goes empty and nothing appears. Whereas the search bar gives options of sveral email names etc, even if i select one. It doesn't work.
Pls help. best regards. NA

Which search function do you mean?
*searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
*search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
*search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)
*other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
Is this about the about:home page?
If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the about:config page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Apple Mail, iPad & iPhone mail with GMail imap

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro 13", a iPad 4 (actual retina) and an iPhone 4.
I have issues using apple mail with my Gmail imap account :
Only the inbox seem to be fully compatible with every device I use, but the outbox, for example, seem not to be the same box on all device.
when I send a mail from my MacBook, the sended mail doesn't appear in the Mail's classical outbox but in a sub-box of Gmail box on the bottom, and I can't find any trace of the mail on iPhone/iPad.
Is there anything I can do to make that I have the same Inbox, Outbox, Draft, Spam and Trash boxes in all my device and server.
I tryied with iCloud mail account and this works perfectly !!
If it's not possible, is it possible to set my icloud mail account to be with my own domain name as it is on my Gmail acount ?
thanks

On iOS, there is no local configuration for the Sent Mail. for Gmail, it automatically goes to the Sent Mail folder. But Sent Mail only shows up when you tap Gmail under the Account setings, not in Inboxes. For OSX, however, you may be able to configure a designated folder (that can be either on the local machine or on the account server). To be honest, I can't recall where that configuration is, and do not have the MBP in front of me. This article may help (or provide links to instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5361

Mac Mail with Hotmail and iPhone

So I have been searching around for hours and I have a few problems with syncing my Mail with my iPhone.
1) I have a iPhone 4s and a macbook pro. I have an email account set up on my mac mail that I want to sync with my iPhone. The problem is it is a hotmail account. The issue is I want my emails to be marked as read no matter where I read the message. What is happening is that I am reading my emails in the morning on my mac and then when I open the same email on my phone I have to go through and delete and read the same messages. Is there a way to set it up so that both my mac and my phone sync to the same unread and read messages?
2) My iPhone no longer shows me the red unread messages alert in the corner of the icon. It dings when I get an email but the icon does not alert me anymore. Any ideas why this would be gone?
Thanks

I was able to go through a long and tedious process but it looks like with some tips and trick I have managed to set up a system that works with iPhone being IMAP and Mac Mail being POP. I am making sure my messages remove the copy from the server after I move them from the inbox. This works because once I delte or move it to a folder it deletes off of hotmail and then updates my phone that hotmail messages has been removed. It is a annoying work around but it seems to work at this point.
This is what got me closest.

Firefox: YouTube doesn't work, neither does Hotmail. What's wrong????

I used to love my Firefox but lately it has become one big head ache. I have v3.6 since I had heard so many complaints about V4, and am always afraid to lose my beloved add ons (Sxipper, Morning Coffee) when I update. These are the things that make my daily life easier. Sxipper should be adopted by you guys since they are being faced out and is the best password option ever.
Anyway, neither YouTube or Hotmail work on FF anymore. So am now being forced to use IE or Chrome, but I would love to keep my FF. None of the solutions offered for either problem have helped me.
Now there is a V5? With a new look!?I don't want a new look I am happy with the one I have. You are becoming like Facebook always making changes that actually make it worse for your customers? WHY???

I have the same problem. Actually, it started when I switched the language on my iPhone to Spanish. Because Siri doesn't work in Spanish, I switched back to English. But the dictionary now is a mess. So, I reset the dictionary, but that didn't help. I tried restoring my iPhone but that didn't help either, I assume because when I restored, it picked up the bad dictionary. I can't restore to an earlier date because I can't lose me texts. But I am surprised that resetting the dictionary had no effect whatsoever.

How do I set up Apple Mail with Yahoo (IMAP) so I can delete mail on my iphone but leave it on the server and iMac.

I am trying to maintain my inbox on my imac while not carrying around all my mail on my iphone. As of now, I only seem to be able to sync the inboxes. If I delete a mail on my iphone, it disappears on both the server and imac. I only seem to be able to make it move the mail to the deleted mail box and keep it there.

That's the way IMAP servers work. The messages really live on the server; the iPhone and the iMac just view them.

You need to install a httpmail plugin for the Mail.app which adds the httpmail protocol and account type to choose from when creating the account which can be downloaded here.
