  • Cannot search mail in OWA

    I have a Windows 7 Pro PC and I'm using IE 11. I can search my mail on my laptop in Outlook, but I can't on my PC via OWA. Thanks

    (Try to check given below steps if the issue with OWA/Exchange)
    Run the following commands:
    Test-ExchangeSearch
    Check mailbox database configuration
    Get-MailboxDatabase | Format-Table Name,IndexEnabled 
    Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Format-Table Identity,ActiveDatabaseCopy,ContentIndexState -Auto
    Post the results
    Additional:
    Check service state:
    Is the Microsoft Exchange Search Indexer (MSExchangeSearch) service started on the Mailbox server?  
    If no, use the Services MMC snap-in to verify that the MSExchangeSearch service is running as follows:
    Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
    In Services, verify that the Status for the Microsoft Exchange Search Indexer service is listed as Started.
    .to reset the index:
    open exchange Management shell
     go to
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts
    run the:
    ResetSearchIndex.ps1
    But I would try the steps above first.
    If all this don't work please post the build number of exchange
    browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin
    search the store.exe
    Right click | Properties | Details | Product Version

  • Cannot search mail message content

    In Snow Leopard, I used to be able to choose "from", "to" "entire message", "subject". I can't seem to do this with mail in Lion.
    Afyter typing in a search term, I get a drop down as I'm typing which shows "people". I presume that is from or to, but no way to find a word that is in the content of a message or a subject.
    Can anyone help please?

    Followup...
    I had previously had WideMail installed. It should just be disabled in Mail under Snow Leopard. However, I downloaded it again and used the Installer Dmg to Uninstall the program.
    "Entire Message" is now selectable again.
    However, the performance is horrible. Searching through my Gmail Inbox which only has around 200 messages takes several minutes. The other searches seem to have reasonable performance.
    Now honestly... this makes no sense to me. There doesn't seem to be a logical connection between the two. However, those were the steps and that was the result. It seems more likely that something else changed in the background while Mail was down.

  • Cannot search Mail

    I just had Leopard installed in my laptop and while we were doing that I think clicked yes to some updates. So then I went into Mail and wanted to search by a person's name but I believe there used to be a little box that made that very easy. Now there is no search box. Am I crazy imagining that it used to incredibly simple to search? Is there any way to search for say "Emily" and find all of the emails to and from Emily?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I withdraw the question. I played with it pushing some assortment of buttons and suddenly the toolbar showed up again with the search box and other items.

  • I cannot search the secondary TO, or CC field in apple mail

  • I suddenly cannot search my Address Book (Contacts) in Mac Mail.  Seems to be "stuck" on one contact

    I suddenly cannot search my Mac Mail Contacts.  Normally, when I type in a name, it immediately comes right up to that contact.  Only way I can see a particular contact I want is to double click on that name.  I want to be able to see it to the right of the list of all my contacts on the left.  Thanks in advance for your help.  I've tried quitting the application, but it's not helping.  I've also checked and all my Software Updates are up to date.

    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    Not exactly clear, but in Address Books tool bar, is Groups & Names shown, or just Names?

  • Since using Maverick OS, I cannot quit mail without "force-quit".

    Since I downloaded and started using Maverick OS, I cannot quit Mail without using the "Force-Quit..." command. The "Quit Mail" command under the Menu is greyed out.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You can also force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
    Select the CPU tab.
    Select Mail under Process Name.
    Select Mail then click the force quit icon  (circle with an x) top left side of the Activity Monitor window.

  • Cannot receive mail with mavericks.

    Cannot receive mail with mavericks. I have tried all the online tricks and nothing works. Any advice?
    Much appreciated

    Thank you Dom, it was however working absolutely fine before mavericks. In fact I have never in all the years had any problems and I have surely not changed the settings. First iOS7 floored my iphone 4, now this, I am not feeling the love from apple. Any other ideas at all? Thanks again

  • Cannot click in search mail and people field using Office 365

    As of this week, four of the users in our school have reported that they cannot click within the search mail field using Office 365. Happens on Macs running 10.8 and 10.9 when using Firefox version 28. When they try using Google Chrome they can use the email search function.
    Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas? I updated to the latest versions of Flash and Java same result.
    Thank you!

    Hi CT_Dave, I do know that search api can have alot of dom elements on them and that scripts on a page can be prevented from running. However, for Office 365 specifically I do not know what kind of search they have.
    You can monitor the search page by looking in the web console to see if there are any specific errors that may be causing this issue.
    In the about:config, please also make sure javascript is enabled.
    # In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
    # Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
    # In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
    # Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
    To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.

  • Cannot send mail with mavericks

    Hi I'm using an iMac 2011 27 in. Shawcable is my ISP. I can receive mail. I cannot send mail. I get the error "cannot connect to account myaccount, enter password for user myname" If I go into accounts in mail prefs all smtp accounts show as offline.  I have been over all my settings with shaw they say problem is on my end. They say my computer isn't connecting. Anyone have any ideas?
    jmickey42

    Without in details on what you have tried, I'll throw out some things:
    On the SMTP server settings, use a custom port number instead of using the default ports.
    Make sure you don't have any firewall, net-nanny, or other such network blockers running.
    In Mail, Open Connection Doctor from the Window menu.
    Click Show Detail, then Check Again.
    Note any message noted in the stoplight section, and any related to the account in the details.
    You may want to sanitize any of the messages from the Details so that it doesn't give away an email account or other identifying info.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • My Adress Book shows strange behavior, cannot search or edit

    Hi folks!
    I recently updated to Lion, also switched my .me to iCloud. At first everything was perfect, now I am experiencing strange behaviours:
    I am starting to add fotos to my contacts because I like the view in Mail.app where the contact fotos are shown in the list of emails. After I added some more photos I cannot search in the address book anymore. Typing a name into the search field and nothing happens. Also clicking on a name an nothing happens on the right side. Absolutely nothing. There's only one entry that does not change and when hitting the "edit" Button, only this one contact is changed. Also this one contact changes when doing a right click on a contact name on the left side.
    I did some searches here but did not find anything. What I did was deleting the "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ Folder as suggested in some other threads but this does not change anything.
    This is really annoying and I cannot use my Address Book which I really need. I have more than 2000 contacts inside and it's essential for my business!
    Please help!
    Thanks and best, Jochen
    Message was edited by: Joo-Chen, typo

    OK, seems like I can replicate the behaviour:
    - repair Disk Permissions
    - restart MBP (do not open all apps again)
    - after reboot, only the Finder is open
    - open Address Book
    - click on contact name on the left side, brings details on the right, editing works also -> great!
    - click in the search field and type a name
      -> no filter of the list or search result appears
    - click on any contact left hand side, nothing happens on the right, the last clicked contact before the search remains open
    - double click on contact name opens separate window as expected
    - no search possible anymore
    - no editing possible anymore
    -> again repair permissions, and restart and same procedure ...
    this is Adress Book 6.1 (1062) on MacBook Pro 17'' with 10.7.2

  • Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

    Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
    I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
    specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
    me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
    Thank you.

    Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
    to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
    is in embedded file.

  • Leopard's Spotlight doesn't search Mail messages

    Leopard's Spotlight isn't searching email messages. I made a clean install of 10.5, and have two POP accounts. The message files are right there under ~/Library/Mail/... . I rebuilt the index for the system volume by adding and then removing the volume from the Privacy zone in Spotlight preferences. I also tried some of the command-line suggestions posted elsewhere for this problem. I recently added my backup volume to the privacy zone, but other than that the zone is empty.
    But the problem remains. Outside Mail.app, Spotlight never comes back with search results that are mail messages. Inside Mail.app, searching "entire message" returns 0 results. Does anyone know how to diagnose this problem? Can I see if a particular file is included in the metadata index?

    Hahaaaa! Solved it - at least for me...
    Please read the whole explanation first before just gabbing any presented commands and executing them in the Terminal. The solution requires no Terminal.
    I had exactly the same problem described by MikeW and JJ. I tried everything like you before at no avail, too. But I tried one more thing that did work and indexed all my mail. Here is what I did at the command line. Don't type the command right away. It will work, but this is not the root cause of your problem, I present it just to explain:
    find ~/Library/Mail -name "*.emlx" -exec mdimport {} \;
    This searches for the individual message (*.emlx) files themselves and throws them one by one onto the mdimporter which imports them just fine. Still, a plain mdimport ~/Library/Mail would not work which pointed me in the right direction: Spotlight did not "see" these individual message files. But Why?
    I fiddled a bit with file/folder permissions since I also simply upgraded from Tiger and ended up with old Tiger permission based user accounts. No result. I discovered, that in Finder the mailboxes, say ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/INBOX.mbox etc. were displayed as package files instead of folders. Strange. So again I tried mdimport -d1 ~/Library/Mail now with a bit of debugging. Aha! Spotlight imports this folder as type 'dyn.ah62d4rv4ge81g45mr3wgn8a', or similar, a dynamic UTI, instead of with 'com.apple.mail.mbox' as what it should have been. Since this unknown dynamic UTI dosn't mean anything sensible to Spotlight, it would simply skip the folder, not scanning it's contents with the well known result that mails cannot be searched by content.
    So, what is essentially overwriting these UTIs? Especially because this would not happen in another Leopard-created user account. I felt guilty as I added some custom UTIs in the past, but nothing to do with mail at all. So who carries UTIs for Mail.app? Well... Mail.app! Another Mail.app? YES! I remembered, that I had an older complete pre-Spotlight system backup on my current system, including all applications including Mail.app in version 1.3.something. AFAIK only with Mail 2.0 Apple changed the way Mail saves messages and they apparently also changed the UTI of .mbox to the new format. I simply deleted the old version of Mail.app. Immediately after that the icons of the .mbox changed and I could open these folders in Finder. I tried again mdimport ~/Library/Mail and - boom - Spotlight imported all my mails!
    Long story to explain my thoughts, here are 5 steps for you to try:
    1. Search your system to find out if you have multiple different copies of Mail.app. You can do that with Spotlight/Finder or enter in the terminal:
    sudo find / -type d -name "Mail.app" -ls
    (You need to be admin to sudo, type your password when prompted)
    2. Locate and check the found versions of Mail.app in Finder via the get info window.
    3. Delete all but the actual copy of Mail.app in /Applications from your system (empty trash!).
    4. Enter the following line in the terminal to have Spotlight import your messages:
    mdimport ~/Library/Mail
    Should take much longer now, depending on the number of mails you have.
    5. Check the result by searching mail content in Mail/Finder/Spotlight, enjoy!
    Note: If you did find and delete old versions of Mail.app, but step 4 did not work, you might have to log out and in or you can even try to restart the machine. In my case the result was instant. If all of that did not work for you - sorry - but probably the above helps you to track your particular problem down.
