Searching function in mail app in ios7 is not good as before?

I am using 2 ipad with different IOS version 6.x and 7.x, I found that the search function in new ipad is not good as before.
In my old ipad, I can search email by some ways as by Sender, Date of send, Subject or any detail? However, the searching box in new email does not have those function so we can only put anything we can remember. In addition, the search results do not show in order as time by time so it is really hard to find what we want to find among mess of thousand mails in our inbox

I'm having the exact same problem here. I'm in Lion 10.73 running Mail 5.2.
This is very frustrating because the "list view" window, there's an attachement column that show's there's 2 attachments (presumably one image attachment for a signature and one for a pdf)... but in the message window there's no pdf attachment.
Surprisingly I have an iPad3 and the same message is missing the attachment as well.
But then I go online to my webhost's webmail access and the attachment is there.

In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
OS Yosemite,
Finder versión 10.10.1
Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

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 and start typing the name.
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
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Why is the search on my mail app not working?

I just bought the new iPod touch 5th generation. I synced it with my iTunes, transferring all the apps I had on my old 3rd generation iPod touch. Everything works fine, except the search on my mail app. When I type in some keyword to search, and click the "all" label, it won't actually search all my email content, only the subjects and senders. Any way to fix this?

No. From the Users Guide it only searchs mail for:
Mail—To, From, and Subject fields of all accounts (the text of messages isn’t searched)

Can you do a search in the Mail app?

As title really, is there a search feature in the default mail app? If there is I'm being really stupid because I can't see it. Any help appreciated!

You're not being stupid, BritishBeef.
It is possible to have Spotlight search only the Mail.app Inbox, but the feature is hidden by default. I discovered it by accident.
To enable the the Mail.app specific Search field in your Inbox just scroll up (meaning swipe your finger down the screen) to reveal the hidden field at the top of the screen.
That's it.
Swiping down the screen will also reveal an app-specific Search field in Notes, and other apps as well, I suspect. Haven't checked them all…
Remember there are no stupid questions…well, maybe there's one; the one you don't ask 'cause you think it's stupid… =)
Have fun…

My emails no longer show up unless I go to the mail app manually. Never had a problem before this. Help!

My emails no longer show up unless I go to the mail app manually. Never had a problem before this. Help! I have shut off phone I have tried to change the time for how long the mail will show up but nothing is working

Do you mean you don't get notified of new emails automatically (eg. on the Lock Screen)? This could be because this function is turned off in Settings > Notifications. It could also be that the email account you use is having problems with its PUSH service, if it offers one.

I deleted the mail app and now could not reinstall. Mail repeatedly quits. Please help reinstall mail app on imac. Thanks.

Re-install the OS, the only sure ay to get it back working.

The search function in mail has virtually stopped working

What's going on???? I can no longer find anything using the search function in Apple Mail Version 5.2 (running on OS 10.7.4).
If I put in the name of someone I have exchenged maybe 500 emails with, it only finds one or two, or maybe none. The same with key words. And I can suddenly no longer search for partial email addresses (like @bankofamerica.com).
I tried rebuilding some of my bigger mail boxes, and a) it took a LONG time and b) it didn't help.
I have not made any chenges in my software, and a week ago I seemed to be searching just fine.
Any idea what might have happened and how to fix it?
Thank you!

How to get multiple identities in mail.app in ios7

Hi,
I am trying to get the equivaelent of Thunderbird's identities in mail.app. I can do this on the desktop version. The way to do that there is that you manually enter the smtp information for the other address and then go to mail-> preferences and under email address seperate your emails with a comma.
For instance, suppose I had to emails, main @email.com and support @email.com. I don't want 2 seperate accounts as everything at support @email.com gets forwarded to main @email.com
Using the desktop mail.app, I do the following:
I create an account for main @email.com. I then go in and change the email address line to show: "main @email.com, support @email.com".
I then go in and add the smtp information for support @email.com. Then when I send email, I can send directly and just select support @email.com as the server.
This is equivalent to the thunderbird "manage identities".
However, I can't seem to do this in IOS 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
<Edited by Host>

Hi msabir:
Thanks for your help. Yea,i don't want to get the first 200 phones, i just want to get the phones which are listed in the items.For example:
"SEP0013192F15DU"+
"SEP000E839C1479"+
"SEP00131A4D3B34"+
"SEP001D450BF4CF"
,then i just want to get the four phones, but when i do like this,i always just got one phone,why is that? Then i changed to use Array like this:
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\">" +
"" +
"" +
""+
""+
"10"+
"Phone" +
"255" +
"Any" +
"Name" +
"" +
""+
""+
""+
""+
""+
"SEP001D450BF4CE"+
""+
""+
"SEP00131A4D3B34"+
""+
But it alway throws this error:
soapenv:Server.generalExceptionERROR: SelectBy is null
why? Thank you very much!

How to deactivate restore function of Mail app

     Hello, i have following problems with the mail app in Mac OSX Mountain Lion:
     (also had this problem with Lion)
Some mails of me are restored automatically 100 times under the Library > Mails folders.
They often reach over 200 GB. Even after I delete these messages, they appear later again as
restored message in these folders a serval times.
The pictures that I have stored in the app, "notes" are no longer seen,
but they appear in the subfolders of mail and also restored several times.
     How can I deactivate the restoration of mails ?

oh, and since setting up Apple mail is so easy in mountain lion, with the new Mail, Contacts and Calendars preference, you might just want to delete your mail account prefs, for gmail at least, and start from scratch. i have had 3 gmail accounts for years and i went back into Apple Mail prefs on Mountain Lion and reset some settings according to the above link and now gmail plays nicer with Apple Mail indeed. I have no problems with yahoo mail. i don't think you'll lose your gmail if you totally delete you gmail prefs in Apple Mail and start from scratch.

Mail.app Different FROM ALIAS not full account change. NOT ".mac" HOW?!!

Hey there.
So I use forwarding aliases from various domains and have no interest in stopping this. Mail.app doesn't seem to have any way to switch the FROM address (not the replyto, but the actual from address) if you don't set up an entirely new account. I thought I could get around this by just setting up another account, however mail checks to see that the account logs in properly, and if it's the same account that you have another address set to it doesn't let you duplicate it cause it doesn't want to download the same mail twice every time or something. Of ourse I just wanted to tell it not to download the mail on the second account. Anyway, I need a way to have one account that's with my ISP [email protected] or whatever that I log into, but have like 5 others that it sends from [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] etc. but since all of these addresses forward to my main mail account I can't have a separate login for each of them.
I'm getting the impreassion that everyone who uses mail is just boxed in by the concepts handed to them, cause NO ONE seems to be talking about this issue. Unless I'm a complete idiot and am missing something obvious.
I found one other account of such a problem and the person also had a .mac account so everyone told him to just switch to always using the .mac account.
That's a totally unacceptable answer!
Anyway, I recently switched from Eudora which CAN do this with no problems. THe only problem is, eudora isn't integrated with address book, and more importantly, doesn't handle Japanese well.
If anyone can be of help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

As if it wasn't doing this before.
Well, you're right that adding aliases to a mail account has no effect on the mail that's collected there, and that the statement you quoted is misleading. Problem is, that statement doesn't appear in the Mail Help's "Adding multiple email alias addresses to an account" article I was referring to, so I had no idea what were you talking about.
I've been able to find the article you've quoted in Apple's knowledge base:
Mac OS X: Using email aliases in Mail
I agree that the last part of this article is poorly written, but it's not in Mail Help, and it doesn't appear when typing alias in Mail Help's search box as I suggested.
I'm assuming all is well.
Let us know if that's not the case.

Mail.app 4.1 does not work with 10.6.1 after restore from time machine

After I restored my complete system from time machine backup using the original snow leopard install disc. My Mail.app won't start up anymore. It shows me the message:
"You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X"
"You have Mail version 4.1 (1076/1075.2). It can't be used Mac OS X Version 10.6.1 (Build 10B504). For more information, click the Help button"
I don't understand the error message as mail 4.1 was installed as part of Mac OS X 10.6.1?
Detailed event log:
2009-11-03 06:00 AM: Backup succeeded successfully via time machine on my time capsule
2009-11-03 11:00 AM: Original laptop was broken. (Screen didn't work anymore)
2009-11-03 03:00 PM: Got a temporary new Macbook Pro from my System Administrator.
2009-11-03 09:00 PM: Successfully restored complete system on new temporary macbook using time machine with data of my time capsule. Everything looked the same (login image, installed applications, etc...). But when I tried to start Mail.app it gave me the above message.
Can someone help me with this???
Kind Regards,
Niels

I've seen two possible solutions to this:
1. Easier, but less likely to work - try to start mail from the Finder, rather than the Dock. If it works, replace the Dock Mail with the Finder one.
2. More probably the solution: download and reinstall the 10.6.1 combo update. I know you shouldn't need to after a TM restore but ...

When I create a new mailbox in mail.app, the mailbox does not appear in the list of mailboxes

I am trying to create a new mailbox in mail.app, but it never appears in the list of mailboxes. This USED TO WORK.

Without seeing anything of what you did there is not much to go on except to say that when you create a classic tween you use a library-based object and it has to exist at both ends of the tween. When motion guides come into play you usually have to fiddle around when making the link between the object and the motion guide to get the object to lock to it.

Mail.app and IMAP does not change message in server

Hello all...
I'm having a strange problem with Mail.app.. I have a IMAP server that uses pine-imapd. I can login and read messages, but anything I do with the messages to not change the message status on the server... If I read a new message, it remains NEW on server, if I delete, it DO NOT delete form server, and so on.. There are cases that I keep receiving the same message over and over again, but actually there's only one message on the server... I used to use Linux with Evolution and everything works just fine, but with Mail.app on Leopard, I have this issue.. Anyone experienced the same thing and have solved it?
THanks
Carlos Barros

Hello Neithan.
Assuming Preferences > Mailbox Behaviors > Move deleted messages to the Trash is ON, does having Store deleted messages on the server ON or OFF make a difference?
Does the problem persist if you take the account offline, then back online (e.g. by means of Mailbox > Go Offline/Online)?
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting that information easier, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Mail app on imac is not working

mail app will not load the page completly and i get the pizza wheel of death andmail does not load.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
