Searching through emails on iphone...

is it possible to search for e-mails by name or keyword pls?
this should be a pretty basic function available to us.. any kind of business use will be affected by the absence of this.. (as the blackberry has..)
Thanks
Mark

I tried yesterday to search my emails. It appears one can't. I'm becoming increasingly hacked of with my iphone. It's half baked.

  • How to send videos through email on iphone 4

    How would you send a video saved in your pictures through email on iphone 4?

    Hey taushafromNJ,
    The following goes over how to share a picture or video, including via email:
    Share or copy a photo or video. View a photo or video, then tap . If you don’t see , tap the screen to show the controls.
    The size limit of attachments is determined by your service provider. iPhone may compress photo and video attachments, if necessary.You can also copy a photo or video, and then paste it into an email or text message (MMS or iMessage).
    via: Share photos and videos

  • Terrible results when searching iCloud email on iPhone 5 (iOS6)

    The search feature on my iCloud account on my iPhone is incredibly poor. When I search for an email, lets say an email from 3 weeks ago from "bob smith" nothing comes up. This happens with virtually any search of any email from any sender, but just to be clear, if I type "bob" or "Smith" or "Bob Smith" and whether I hit "from" or "subject" or "all" I still get nothing, or very little. And yes, the contact is spelled correctly and the contact is literally first name: bob, last name smith. The little search spinner will spin and it will say in grayed letters "seraching on server" "29,137 more messages on server"
    Somethimes it will find some emails from Bob, and, if I'm lucky it will find the one I'm looking for. But iften it does not. Sometimes it just takes a while and several emails will eventually pop up after 3-4-5 minutes. But more often than not, the spinner just goes away and the search reveals nothing, or close to nothing. Even if I have hundreds of emails from said sender. I can find them all on my computer.
    I have mail "on" in icloud settings and in email settings.
    I just don't get it. More frustrating is that i don't see many others with this same problem.
    Please help if you can-
    Thanks!

    I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true. The only way to make the inbox on the iphone back to 0 is to delete the account then re install it.
    Anyone have any ideas

  • Why i dont get email notifications when someone uses my apple account to know my location through Find my Iphone?

    Why i dont get email notifications when someone uses my apple account to know my location through Find my Iphone?

    Try adding [email protected] as a VIP contact in your icloud mail app using the appleid used for icloud if using multiple accounts (i.e different itunes and icloud account).
    But seriously that happens really !? not getting emails for using icloud services with a valid appleid.

  • I am finding that some of me emails (mainly from companies not my friends) are coming through to my iphone but not coming through to my iMac.

    For quite a while now I have missed some important emails that have come through to my iphone but not downloaded to my iMac, its happening more and more recently. It is really fustrating, I have looked at my iMac and can't find anywhere to adjust the settings to let through the missing emails, the emails that are not coming to my home pc are normaly from large companies, some from my credit card company and comformation for hotel bookings etc, etc.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Problem might me with how your e.mail is set up if you're using POP3.
    If you're using POP3 then you need to add "recent:" (without the quotation marks) before your username on both your iMac and your iPhone.
    I use POP3 with Virgin Media and they have well documented help on this aspect.
    This now works fine for me and I no longer miss any e.mails.

    You are not talking to Apple on here, we are all fellow users and not Apple employees.  You can comment to Apple by giving feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback
    What we have heard is this 'feature' was added as a result of the high-profile downloads of celebrity photos from iCloud accounts.

  • I cannot send email from iPhone -- my account is with aol

    I tried to send an email to myself and I got a message that said "Cannot Send Mail the sender address (my address) was rejected by the server". It says that no matter who I send mail to.
    I am not very technically oriented -- so if someone answers me I hope they will give it to me in simple terms
    I am receiving email -- although some of it says "not downloaded from server" and some of it says "no message content". Most of the email I receive comes through ok
    I have not yet figured how to make the Wi-fy come on so have just been using Edge. I have had the phone for 5 days.
    I can live without wi-fy -- but I really would like to be able to send an email. I have a new Mac (my 5th) Hope someone can help.

    After I posted my message I found a discussion that said to get my wi-fy to work all I had to do was to:
    go to settings
    go to general
    go to reset
    reset network settings
    and
    for good measure I also
    reset all settings
    I did this and now my wi-fy works like a charm -- and the emails that I sent went through, even though it said they didn't -- but now I am not receiving any emails -- the little thing just goes around and around like it is searching for emails -- it has been doing that now for a while. I turned off the wi-fy and let it go to edge and itstill can't pick up any emails -- It has transferred no email to my iphone since I reset! I love my iPhone -- but I would sure like to get everything to work at once.
    Thank you for your post and help.

  • When I send email from iphone, mail on my mac crashes every time.

    The latest in a string of issues I've had with Mountain Lion, and even more with Lion. This is the latest and most frustrating.
    Eveytime I send an email from iphone or ipad, mail on my macbook pro crashes. This happens everytime!
    Also, Safari is unusable as keeps crashing and hardly ever loads properly so moved to Chrome which works perfectly.

    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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Deleting email from Iphone only not from gmail account

      I have business emeails that come through on my Iphone.  I want to delete them from my Iphone only.  Not delete them totally from gmail.  Can not find a way to do that.  What am I doing wrong?

    You can do this when accessing the account as a POP account on the iPhone only with the correct settings for not removing messages from the server when deleted from the iPhone - if Gmail supports accessing the account as a POP account.
    Accessing the account as a POP account with an email client on one computer or mobile device and as an IMAP or Exchange account on another can cause problems.
