My search bar won't search any old e-mails from senders

When I search for old e-mails by putting in an e-mail address and drop down bar from "senders" my search does NOTHING. It's so frustrating....tthe search bar SUCKS. It does nada.

What is the purpose of answering a question posted to a forum by sending a private reply? This doesn't help anyone else searching for an answer, so why is it posted on the forum?

Help! I need to import OLD e-mails from my AOL mail...

Well, I've tried on my own, but it's time to seek out a higher power...
I have old e-mails from AOL 2.7 and 3.0 that I saved on my computer. I just downloaded AOL 5.0 (in Classic) as well as AOL for OS X, and I can open these messages up individually in those programs. But the question is, how can I add those e-mails to my Personal Filing Cabinet in one of those programs, so that I can (the holy grail) eventually get them in to my Apple Mail program? While I can open them up individually now, I can't figure out how to save them into either more recent AOL program -- I think that once I manage to do that, then I can use that AOL Services Assistant thing to get the messages into Apple Mail.
Can anybody help? Thanks!
G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hey Ali B,
Thanks for giving this a shot. Here's the best I can remember it: I was using AOL 2.7 in the late 90's, and to make my in-box smaller I saved various e-mails in their own folders, taking them out of the AOL Inbox (which was on my computer, fyi). Now, here's the latest wrinkle -- I found a version of AOL 2.7, and can easily take the e-mails that are saved in my AOL 2.7 Inbox and export them to a later version, and from there to my Apple Mail. But HERE'S the tricky thing -- when I take those earlier e-mails that I pulled out of the AOL Inbox and drop them back into the Inbox folder, they don't get added to the Inbox when I open AOL! I can open them individually in 2.7 (the icons are the same in the Inbox Folder, all e-mails look the same, both the new ones and the old ones), but that also doesn't add them to the AOL Inbox.
Here, it seems to me, is the problem. In the Mail folder is also another icon (and file) that says my screen name, and that somehow incorporates all of the e-mails that are saved under that screen name. And I don't know how to change that file -- just launching AOL 2.7 (or, for that matter, dropping these new messages into the appropriate folder) doesn't help -- only the original messages show up in my AOL 2.7 Inbox, not the additional ones I've added.
And, of course, when I upgrade to 3.0 (or 5.0 or AOL for OS X) these e-mails in my Inbox get added to my Personal Filing Cabinet, and I can't think of any other way to get the other (previously removed) e-mails into the Filing Cabinet.
Does that make any sense whatsoever?

On occasion when I receive a new e mail, old e mails (from 2+ years ago) show up in the body of the email

On very few occasions, when I receive a new e mail, old e mails (from 2+ years ago) show up in the body of the new email (subject line and sender are current, info in body is old deleted e mail)

I would try the Rebuild command. Your mail database may have been messed up.

I don't want to import my old e-mails from Hotmail to Mail. can i do something?

I've bought this MacBook Air and I put my hotmail account on it. Well, "Mail" is taking all my old mails, even the ones with more than 3 years. What can i do to don't import all my old e-mails?

Go to your Hotmail account on the web (NOT in mail), make a new folder (or folders) for the mail you want to keep and move the messages into it.
Mail (and all other email clients) will download all messages in the inbox unless previously downloaded. That means downloaded with the client you are attaching now.
Until that is done do not setup the account in mail.

How to move old e-mail from iMac to shared MacMini - separate user accounts?

My wife and I share a new MacMini. We each have separate user accounts. She would like her old e-mail messages moved from her old iMac to the MacMini. I believe they are in her old iMac's USER--LIBRARY--MAIL directory. Is this right? Do I just copy these files and paste them in the same directory in the MacMini?
Also does anyone know how to move her old Keychain files on her old iMac to her user account on the macmini?
Thanks for the help. -Bruce

There are two issues when I do so. First of all I have "ghost" accounts who do not show up in my e-mail preferences but keep on showing up randomly. Secondly I cannot remove "other accounts" in Mail>Preferences I will get the following error message: The account "XXXX.XXXX.Com" is shared using iCloud. You can remove this account from iCloud in Internet Accounts.
And in iCloud internet accounts the particular account will not be visible.

Erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx? it won't recognize any old system disc

erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx? it won't recognize old system discs

Did you try:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you don't have the original discs that came with the computer, then you can install the retail version of Snow Leopard:
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

someone help.....

I can't log in to my computer. It won't accept any names and passwords from any accounts.

This is my work computer, and it started 3 days ago. It won't accept the name and password of any account in the office, except for the localadmin log in. That works just fine. I have tried all the basic troubleshooting like restarting, unplugging the computer, unplugging the network cable. Doesn't help. The login screen shakes like I typed in the wrong password.
It is connect to a network with other macs and PCs. We use Windows Small Business Server 2003, I don't know if that has anything to do with the issue.
Today the problem also started affecting a Mac Book Pro, which is also connected to the network.
Is there an update we are missing? What's going on?

Are you authenticating to an Active Directory server? If so, that's where the problem is.

Firefox quit working (at all) after last two updates (browser window opens but won't open any webpages whether clicked from bookmarks or browser or typed into address window).

[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Windows 8 won't find any airport after resuming from standby

Hi,
I have had a windows 7 PC with both airport express (2nd and 3rd generation) working flawlessly. I bought a new Windows 8 Laptop. Initially everything worked fine, but after resuming from standby mode (closed the display and reopened) my itunes stopped working, and the airport utility software was unable to find both airport express. After shutdown and restart they both worked again until the next standby mode.
I've read somewhere that it might be a conflict with IPv6 so I disabled it from registry, but the problem remains.....
any thoughts
Regards,
German

Did you upgrade the drivers from the wireless card manufacturer in win8 machine.. ??
If that doesn't work.. do some more basic wireless investigation..
1. Are wireless names SMB compliant.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric?
2. WPA2 Personal security with a password which also conforms to the above.
3. Test with fixed wireless channels. 11, 6, 1
4. If none of the above work.. turn off security for a few minutes and see if that works.

Hi
The problem could be in SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 or in the program called to send the mail
SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 places the mail in SOST (how many messages you can see there?)
If you see only one message the problem could be in the program to send the mail

How may I configure Apple's Mail to not download old e-mails from my Hotmail account?

When I connect my Hotmail account to Apple's Mail application, it starts to download all of my read e-mails and marks them as unread. How may I configure Mail so it downloads only new e-mails just like it works in iOS?

Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Advanced check below for POP and the second screen shot for IMAP.
There also might be a setting in Hotmail if you access via a browser.

OLD E-mails keep coming back

I keep getting old E-mails from the beginning of June. they are being redelivered to my inbox as if they were new. also some old delted folders show back up as well. it's really annoying!!!

Another interesting point about these returning emails. If I do a targeted search by sender, e.g., nytimes.com, the old emails don't turn up in the search results. And those old emails I had designated as spam (e.g., Dr Oz crap) have also returned. I'll follow advice about Facebook page.

My search bar won't search any old e-mails from senders
