My Mail App can no longer find emails on my Mac when I search

I recently 'cleaned' my Mail. I went into somewhere in the Finders that I cannot remember. Afterwards, my mailboxes can no longer be searched.
When I type in something in the search bar, it always show up as zero. It can be as simple as my email, a letter (L for example) or my colleagues' – I'm 110% sure that those emails should be searchable.
The result says "Inbox – Jennifer (Found 0 matches for search)
HELP!!!
OSX 10.9.2
Mail Version 7.2

Your best option would be to restore whatever you changed from a backup.

When I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos.

So starting recently (last couple of months) when I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos. There's nothing there, it's just completely blank, when in the past my whole iPhoto library would show up with thumbnails and I could just choose the pic to attach. Now I have to drag the photos I want from iPhoto onto the desktop and then I can find them there to attach to my e-mail. How can I get my iPhoto library to show back up the simple way when I want to attach photos? I've been having this problem attaching photos in hotmail or yahoo.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

I can no longer directly email pdfs from mac preview

Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer open a pdf file in Mac Preview and then select "Mail Selected PDF Document." When I do so I receive an error message: The "New Email With Attachement" service could not be used.
Anyone know what the problem is?

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

Find my iphone app can no longer find my ipads

When I use the Find my Iphone app to locate my ipads, it now says no location available for both ipads. It has been working until two days ago. I have reset the ipads, turned the location servcie on and off, and have tried two different wireless networks as well as my iphone with and without a network connection. Did the icloud get updated recently that may have cause it to stop working? Any other ideas on how get this working again?

Maill.App can no longer send mail with quotes

Hello,
Just recently mail.app can no longer reply / send mail that has quotes. In the activity monitor it successfully connects but stops at "Sending data 100% done".
Can anyone please help?
Cheers,
Dan.

Well, it happened again.
This morning I was sending out a bunch of emails and around the 10th one they started kicking back.
This time I did not fool with any of the settings on my computer.
I turned off both the modem and router. Started them back up and the problem still exists.
The last time this happend, about a week ago, it started working again within an hour.
This problem ony crops up when I am sending many emails at the same time
Throughout the rest of the week it works fine.
This time I by-passed the router and the mail will go out.
So it looks like someting is going on with the router.
Whenver I hook the router back up, outgoing mail will not work.
It says it cannot send mail using my server.
I double checked all of my mail setings and nothing has changed
I also did a hard rest on the router, but it did not help.
Again this problem is with 2 computers.
I have an early version of Airport Extreme Model A1143.
It's around 5 years old.
Whenever I call my ISP they claim everything checks out on their end and they don't offer any help.
I am sure if I leave the router unplugged for a day or so, it will start working again.
Is there any way a router can break down and allow incoming mail and internet but not outgoing mail?
I am am at wits end with this problem.
I would be willing to go out and get the latest Airport Extreme if I knew for sure it would cure this problem.

Safari 6.0.4 "broke" Share button - also Mail can no longer find the application (installed via Map App store)

Since installing the 6.0.4 Safari update via the Mac App store, I have a host of problems:
1. Mail can no longer find "an associated app" when I click on a url in a mail message
2. The Share button (extension) in the Safari toolbar no longer works
3. Any attempt to open a new url results in a new safari window being opened although in my preferences I have "open new windows in tabs" selected
4. If I click on a tab that was previously open I am continually asked to refresh the window
5. I have had about a half dozen "Safari not responding" events since the upgrade, forcing me to Force Quit - generally when I'm trying to use one of the extensions or returning to a prebiously opened tab
6. Safari is intermittently unresponsive to mouse clicks -functionality can only be restored by refreshing the page
7. Safari can no longer find my passwords for some extensions (e.g. Buffer)
8. Safari is EXTREMELY slow loading pages - stalls out a few moments after entering url (or switching back to that tab) - sometimes for as long as 2 or 3 minutes
All the Safari extensions I have were eeither pre-installed or from Apple's Safari extensions page.
The install also corrupted my iCloud (AppleID) password, but thiswas easily fixed in Keychain.
Anyone have a fix or know of any software conflicts that could be responsible?
OSX 10.8.3
Safari 6.0.4

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then uninstall them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

I updated my iPad to 7.0.6 but I find the new look very irritating. In mail I can no longer swipe left on a message to erase it. The font in calendar is so small I can't read my appointments. I happen to like the yellow paper that was in notes.

You have to swipe from right to left to delete mail.
In the settings, accessibility you can make fonts bolder, that helps a bit.
THe yellow paper...sorry, no tweak for that unless you find a different notes app to use.

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

I just upgraded to Mavarick. I can no longer find my mailboxes in my e-mail. I read to go to 'finder'/ go go to folder the type in ~/Library which I did and I eventually found all my mailboxes. But I want them to be available from my e-mail. How ?

I just upgraded to Mavarick. I can no longer find my mailboxes in my e-mail. I went to 'finder', under 'go'> go to folder / mail and eventually I found all my missing mailboxes. But I want them to show up as they used to, in my e-mail. How do I get them back?

.........and just wasted more time clicking on the 'chat online' link which of course does nothing.
I'll be spending time searching for an alternative ISP instead. Absolutely sick of this.

Hi,
don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

I have a OSX version 10.7.5. On Safari mail I can no longer see the information that usually appears at the beginning of an incoming email, like the date, senders details etc. What do I do to be able to see this again?

No, I get my mail on my computer, not on a website. I used to be able to see the information but in sorting another issue I must have changed a setting or something. I have gone to View. Under Message Attributes most things are ticked but many of them are not bold print i.e. they are pale grey. I don't know how to activate them again.
