Using search in iCloud email (Doesn't work well)

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with the search feature in iCloud email.  I rely on searching for dates and other topics for my work.  I get so many emails the search feature is critical to my work.  It's gotten to the point that I forward every email that goes to my iCloud email address and have it also sent to my gmail account just so that I have a more reliable means of searching(big inconvenience!).  I'm wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing. 
An example search that I would do is search for "2012-10-21."  This is a specific date format that my work uses when they email me.  In the beginning of iCloud, the search would easily work and return the proper search results.  Now, the search/results are pretty useless because it does not work at all.
It's very frustrating.  As of now, iCloud isn't really good for the business professional if it can't perform simple searches and return proper results.
It's Gmail for me right now until iCloud get's fixed.

  • New iCloud email account not working - duplicate/ambiguous directory match error

    I set myself up a new iCloud account this morning once I got iOS 5 loaded on my iPhone 3GS. I was able to create a new @me.com email address, but I think I might have stepped on someone else's existing address as when I send it email, I get a rejection immediately with "duplicate/ambiguous directory entry". iCloud email doesn't work on iCloud.com, and iCloud mail account on the iPhone tells me the user or password is incorrect.
    Other than that, iOS 5 is working great so far!

    Same symptoms - let's look at the "cause". I was digging in my iPhone settings and although I did everything as prompted in the iCloud setup here is what has actually happened under the hood.
    First - What iCloud guided me to do.
    •I had a @mac Apple ID I decided to use it for iCloud
    •iCloud said I neeeded a new @me address to use mail and iMessaging and asked me to set one up
    •I set up a new @me email address
    Sencond - The Results
    •I can receive email at my new @me address (expected)
    •I can login to iCloud online with my old Apple ID (expected)
    •I can not send outgoing mail - error on password (unexpected)
    Third - Under the Hood (Settings that are a little odd)
    On my iPhone, under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> iCloud -> Account,
    At the very bottom under "Advanced" is the email info, now this should be the new active @me address but its NOT! It's my old AppleID with the @mac address - which of course no one can use for "real email" anymore.
    iCloud on my phone is attempting to use my @mac address for outgoing messages!!!! ARGH!
    WORSE is you can not edit this! You can click and see details, change the "name" but you can not change the address!
    I think this might be the issue for all of us on this thread - check it out and see. If so it's something we will def. have to have a fix from apple for. :-( That or perhaps delete your iCloud account, your existing Apple ID and get a new @me Apple ID that will work for email as well. (PITA!) I hope we get a fix from Apple.

  • HP Photosmart 6520 Server Connection Error: -1: Apps don't work and Scan to email doesn't work

    My HP PhotoSmart 6520 has a persistent error to connect to the server and therefore Apps and Scan to email doesn't work.
    I have manually set DNS to 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, I have installed latest driver on my Macbook pro, I have updated firmware, but still not working. Weird is also that in my ePrintCenter, the Apps I see there are not in line with thos visible on the printer.
    Detail is that I have set up the printer on a Windows PC but recently changed to Mac.
    Printing, scan to Computer all works fine.
    Help! I have read a lot on forums but so far no solution for me!

    Hi Jack6520,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you are unable to connect to the apps and use the scan to email feature of your Photosmart 6520 printer due to a server connection error.
    First off, thank you for the very detailed information, I really appreciate it.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
    When you set the manual DNS servers, did you also set a manual IP address for the printer?
    Have you changed routers or internet service providers recently?  Have you updated the firmware on the router? If you have an ISP-provided router, do you know if they pushed out a firmware update?
    Have you recently installed any new anti-virus/malware software?  If so it may have blocked the ports the printer uses to communicate.  I’ve included a post by VisionAiry titled “Check the Anti-Virus for Blocked Ports and Timed Scans”. 
    Do you have a guest network setup? Please Print a Network Configuration page. It will let you know how many networks the printer sees. A guest network will have the same name as your network with a tag about it being the guest network.
    Previously did you customize the printer’s ePrint email address? I’m asking this because I might ask you to disable then enable the web services.  If we have to take this step you will lose the customized ePrint email address without any ability to get it back.
    What version of Mac OS X are you using? whatsmyos.com
    Are there any cables other than the power cable connected to the printer?
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

  • Ios 8 icloud backup doesn't work

    Hello,
    I've a problem with my iPad 2 and iOS 8.
    When I try to make backup to iCloud, it doesn't work.
    It takes hours and then stops, meanwhile my network upstream is at full capacity.
    I haven't enabled iCloud Drive, because I use a Mac too.
    Does iCloud Backup on iOS 8 doesn't work on the "old" iCloud?

    just updated my 5s to 8.2 and neither iphone nor ipad are accepting the password.
    i reset the password twice but nothing change.
    i am not able to:
    access App store
    Access I-tunes
    Access i-cloud
    Buy from app store
    or install from app store.
    when i am triing to install a free aps it told me ottieni, then install when i press install it says ottieni again. bot on iphone and ipad2.
    Moreover I have full access to i-cloud and itunes store via browser on pc with the same user id and password.

  • Skill Search works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client

    My environment consists of Lync Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013.
    I configured skill search and it works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client. An error appears says"error occurred during the search, please try again".
    I configured these URLs in my client policy

    set-csclientpolicy -identity global -spsearchcenterinternalurl http://<Sharepoint Server>/searchcenter/pages/peopleresults.aspx
    I checked these URLs from the browser and they work fine.
    I disabled anonymous access to _vti_bin, but no change then i checked lync log but i didn't find any error then i used Wireshark and found that when Lync client contacts Sharepoint, Sharepoint responded to it with internal server error http 500

  • On my IPad email doesn't work anymore. I can't receive or send mails anymore.

    My IPad, 18 GB, ioS 8.02
    I don't know why, but all of a sudden my email doesn't work at all anymore. I can't send or receive mails. When I push the icon mail button, I see only a blank page. I see only the first line for answering, forwarding or writing new mails. But if I try to push one of those buttons, nothing happens.
    My IPad knowledge is not so good. So I didn't try anything to repare it.
    i would appreciate your help very much.

    Consider updating iOS to 8.2
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Delete and re-add the email account.

  • ICloud email won't work after upgrade

    iCloud email won't work after upgrade to Mountain Lion.  Says pop 3 server is timing out. Solutions?

    I'm sorry, as I keep saying... in MAIL I get the message that it cannot cannot to server!? Did you read the initial problem at all! I know exactly where mail is, although, the diagram was wonderful.
    My problem is TWO FOLD.
    The MAIL app doesn't work with iCloud but does work with my POP3 email for my office.
    Second problem is the iCloud on Safari doesn't work as I get the error message as the screenshot above.
    There is NO reason why the @me.com email shouldn't work through the iCloud site, as you can see, there is a also a Mail icon.

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • My iCloud email does not work. Getting error message that i need to uncheck SSL . This does not work. Help

    icloud Email does not work. When running Connection doctor it indicates I must check or uncheck SSL. This has not fixed the problem

  • My VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA doesn't work.

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks, my VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA doesn't work. When I was using Mountain Lion, as soon as you plugged in the Mini adaopter into the mini display port, the screen would shrink and format to where it would project via a RGB cable to a projector. No such luck since Mavericks! Also, I had a lot of trouble with the DVD player when I tried to play a DVD and project it via a projector. It all worked seamlessly with Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me?

    I think if you go to System Preferences >> Displays and Option-click on the "Scaled" radio button, it will show you all of the resolutions that you would have had before under Mountain Lion. I just upgraded to Maverick and my resolution preferences (mirrored on a TV using the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, using 1280x768) were completely reset (my display was no longer mirrored, and the resolution on my main iMac screen became 2560x1440). I found my answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23599645#23599645. Hope that helps.

    go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
    ''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)
