You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Lion Mail Search Stopped Working

The search in my Lion Mail doesn't work at all. When you enter some text you get nothing. This is on my Mac Pro. On my Macbook Pro it works. I even deleted all the mail and let it reimport. I even reindexed spotlight. Next step is to remove all the accounts and start over. I stopped using Apple Mail because of this before and chose Thunderbird which works perfect, but Lion Mail came out so I thought to give it a try and it still doesn't work. I have to be able to search.

Brilliant, works every time!
Actually, you were the one who found the solution by trying the following statement:
    set CS_Messages to every message that subject contains "Daily Summary"
Have you any idea why my original script stopped working, just like to know to stop this happening again.
Since the original script has always worked flawlessly on my computer under OS X 10.8.1, the only thing I can think of would be another application interfering with Mail or AppleScript in your system.
By the way, the following version of the script might be somewhat faster when you have a huge number of messages in your mailbox:
set theContents to {}
set theContentsRef to a reference to theContents
tell application "Mail"
    tell mailbox "CS Notepad"
        tell mailbox "Test"
            set CS_Messages to every message that subject contains "Daily Summary"
            repeat with thisMessage in CS_Messages
                copy content of thisMessage to the end of theContentsRef
            end repeat
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
theContents
See the AppleScript Language Guide, Class Reference, list (p. 110 in the PDF version) : “For large lists, it is more efficient to use the a reference to operator when inserting a large number of items into a list, rather than to access the list directly.”

Since I upgraded to Mavericks Mail does not work at all

I upgraded to Mavericks yesterday (10.9.1) and now Mail simply will not work. The first time I opened the app it said it was upgrading messages and spent a while working on that. I did not interrupt the process but then it crashed and now it does not even start up.
I have repaired disk permissions and restarted in Safe Mode but it didn't help.

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- 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.

Upgraded to Leopard, Mail doesn't work

I recently upgraded to Leopard and the Mail program doesn't work. Won't display any mail. Seems to send mail okay from my .mac and .aol (my main email address) accounts, but no messages are displayed, and it is impossible to quit Mail without going through a force quit. I resisted upgrading to Leopard because everything ran so smoothly in 10. 4. 11. But I thought it was time. So far, I've seen no improvements, and this one big problem!
Any ideas? Bob Krist

After upgrading from Tiger to Leopard with the default method Mail was the only thing that didn't work. It wouldn't open a Mail window, appeared to be open on the menu bar and in the dock but would not quit from either command. I had to force quit. When I finally got a mail window to appear, all my email profiles and folders appeared in the left hand bar, but nary an email to be seen in any location. I could not send or receive emails. Pretty much dead!
I didn't have a meltdown because I'd archived my most important emails that were in my folders. I dug through dozens of posts on multiple forums and tried a procedure I could see was making it worse. I shut down the computer so I could get help from AppleCare this morning.
I got in trouble following the less than adequate instructions from The AppleBlog; inadequate because it didn't say where to move the folders and plist to. My most helpful Apple Tech advised me that I needed to QUIT Mail before dragging ONLY the ~Library>Preferences>com.apple.mail.plist file to my desktop. The two folders need to stay in the Library.
After you are out of Mail, on the desktop click on the plist to highlight it. Use Control-click to display the popup menu and select Copy for the plist. Open finder window and select ONLY Preferences (~Library>Preferences) so the word Preferences is highlighted. Go to the Finder>Edit>Paste drop down menu of the toolbar. Select Paste. It will ask if you want to replace the newly created plist with the one you just copied. Select replace. Relaunch Mail and that should restore all your Mail Profiles and retrieve your messages.
This process even brought back my mail folders and put all my saved messages back where they were filed. I didn't have to get into my archived messages file after all.
I just wish I could have found this simpler fix online without spending hours searching and reading conflicting suggestions. Maybe this will help someone else fix their problem faster.

Lion mail doesn't work at all - it's frozen

Is anyone else having issues with Lion mail? My curser is in a constant state of swirling... I can not send nor receive mail in Lion. This upgrad has been the most dissapointment ever. Mail is one of the many bugs I'm experiencing and since I work (my living is made with my computer) I have lost hours of valuable time delaing with these bugs and systems that refuse to work. Does anyone know of any fixes to bugs yet? I can't seem to find any.
Thanks!

Are you sure your Lion Mail setting are correct after the upgrade for your domain?
Under the account settings is the account still a pop account or has lion reset it as a imap account? Is Imap enabled on your mail server?
if not, what domain are you downloading your mail from? Gmail, yahoo, etc...

Upgrade to lion Appleworks doesn't work

Not knowing that the Power PC does not suppot Applework,
Now I can't open ANY of the important docs I Have
Any Help??
On my way to the Genius Bar
Thanx

To amplify slightly what Fruhulda says, you can export and reimport data in this way: obviously you will lose all formatting - more importantly you will lose all calculations, and simply import the result of calculations. So you will have quite a bit of work if your databases are complex.

Color picker for text in Mac OS X Lion Mail is not working properly

I found a bug in Mac OSX Lion Mail program. I tried it on 3 different machines and they all act the same. When you compose a new message in mail and you change the color of the text to another color than black with the color picker, the text changes to the apropriate color. If you try to select that same text and try to revert it's color to black again using the color picker, the text bocomes blank and you cant see it anymore.
Does anybody have the same problem as I do?

Same problem here - it's a bug which hopefully will be fixed in a future update.
In the meantime, here is a workaround:
Highlight the text you want to change
Click on the color icon
Click on "Show Colors"
Run the "Back slider" a little up, and then all the way back again.
This should make the text black again - it's a little cumbersome to say the least, but it does the trick

Just upgraded to Lion Mail Not working

Right after upgrade on my Imac 24 And Macbook Pro.
Mail upon launch crashes and when I try to restart I get prompt to
"Restore Windows"
Either choice "Restore Windows" Or "Don't Restore Windows"
gives the same result on both computers.
I tried moving the Smailmailbox.plist and Smailmailbox.plist.backup out of the MAil Data Folder
Still no luck
Any other suggestions?

It's the lion's wifi it's vary sensitive to the signal! you need a version R router bought a Time capsul it's an R.Move your router away from any metel and see if it helps. I just got a 27' imac i7 2TB/SSD my Toshiba i7 worked fine on my old router in a metel shelf unit not this mac! So I bought the Time Capsule $300.00 ouch! my Mac/lion is blazzing fast know and so is my Toshiba i7 windows.The $100. routers in the stores are most likly version R as well but the TC runs 2.4 or 5 GHz at the same time or fix it eather alone. Plus a 2TB back up drive! Now this is not the only problems your going to have with the new OS lion system it went away from Roseta so older softwair dosent work and your chaseing the net for drivers!!!!

May I know whether will Lion support VMWare with Windows XP Pro?

Just upgraded to OS X 10.7

I'm running VMfusion version 3.1.3 and XP under Lion with no issues.
Looks like you need to upgrade fusion to the latest release.

Upgrade to Lion: Mail is not compatible and won't open. How do i reinstall an updated version Mail?

So, I'm currently trying to update my parent's computer and in the process of updating their Mail application it has become unusable. My computer at home (not my parents computer) ran into the same problem before I updated to Lion and deleting the preferences for Mail solved it. Plus, I have read previous posts about this similar problem and a typical troubleshooting solution was to delete the Mail preferences.
After all of my software updates (Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and deleting the preferences for Mail, I still receive the same error message when trying to open the application. "Mail can't be used on this version of mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications foler on your computer." My applications folder has not been adjusted, edited or even touched from it's original state in the dock/home folder.
I contacted AppleCare support and they advised me to reformat my computer. I think that's a little... unneccesary?? It's just Mail that isn't working. The rest of the applications (e.g. Safari, Address Book, iPhoto, etc.) open just fine.
After a second call to AppleCare, they had advised me differently than before. Once they found out that my personal computer has Mac OS X Lion installed from the App Store, they suggested I simply upgrade my parents computer to Lion.
So, I used my download from the App Store and upgraded. It went smoothly, but Mail still will not open properly. And instead of the original error message, it comes up with this:
"Check with your developer to make sure Mail can work with your version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Check if there are any updates available for the application."
How can I re-install just Mail? A startup disk is not accessible for me right now. Can I download the latest version of Mail and install it from the Apple.com website?

Do we get money back if it no longer opens?
Certainly not without going through basic troubleshooting steps first. Many times some basic troubleshooting will fix things. If you haven't tried anything yet, you cannot say for sure that the app will not work at all.
There are a number of things in here that you can try.

In a worst case scenario, you can always delete the app and download it again and see if it will work. You will not be charged again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the app with.

Upgraded to Yosemite, mail no longer works

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite this am. Now Mail won't upgrade and I cannot access it. The error message says Mail is damaged, tho it worked fine until I upgraded to Yosemite. Can anyone offer assistance? Many thanks.

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

My free mountain lion download didn't work

I bought my MBA after the June 11 deadline, so I am eligible for the free upgrade. I followed the instructions, got the codes, entered the content code in the redeem form, and got an error message that said something to the effect that it wasn't working at this time.
I tried again today, but it said that my content code was already used.
ARGH!!! I never got my DL.
And, there's no way to connect with Apple.
Anyone out there have any ideas about how I can get my free Mountain Lion??
Cheers,
Emily

Mountain Lion Mail Searching not working (entire search)

Hello,
I already searched the web and the topics in this forum, but found no help.
Since my update from 10.7 to 10.8 (with a clean install and a transition of my user data) the search 'Entire Message' oder 'any' does not work anymore. It shows no results.
This is very strange since Spotlight is still able to find content inside Mail messages.
There are some posts for similiar questions suggesting to rebuild either the whole spotlight index or just rebuild the mail index.
Others suggest to rebuild the mail database by either deleting the files inside the folder of the library or use the menu command in Mail.
Others suggest to check the rights of the mail folder and its content inside the user's library folder.
I tried all of this. Nothing helped yet.
Thanks for help
carl

I really tried everything but nothing helped.
But finally I solved the problem.
I made a timemachine backup (just for safety reasons).
Then I installed Mountain Lion again over the existing installation.
(I used a USB Stick with Mountain Lion to do that.)
Now everything works great.
