VIP folder vs. Smart Mailbox Folder - Why won't they behave similarly?

My poorly formatted question is this. Why in the VIPs folder you can view ALL the emails in one view from the people you add to this list when you click on the root VIPS text...HOWEVER...when you create a Smart Mailbox Folder like "Employees" and then add people to that list, you can't see all the emails from everybody in one view when you click on the root Employees text. You have to individually select employees from the pull down list to see their emails.
I thought this used to work fine with Lion. Maybe I'm missing something here?
Also, another weird and annoying little bug is that when you add Employees to your favorites bar and then select one of the employees from the list, the text in your favorites bar changes from "Employees" to "Employees - John Doe (24)" and doesn't let you revert it back to the simple Employees root text unless you drag it off the favorties bar and then re-add it. Very annoying.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Thanks!

  • What are smart mailboxes and why do i need both smart and "normal" ones?

    What are smart mailboxes and why do I need both smart and "normal" mailboxes?

    Hi Kingoftypos,
    Thanks for that clarification. So, now it appears that the ultimate purpose of a Smart Mailbox is to point to all emails that meet the criteria in a single place, so if they are spread among several mailboxes, you will be able to see them all together. Here is an article from Apple that describes it:
    A Smart Mailbox displays in one location messages that are stored in other mailboxes, so you don’t have to move messages between mailboxes. The messages displayed by a Smart Mailbox are based on criteria you define, and are automatically updated to include new messages that match your criteria. For example, you might create a Smart Mailbox that displays all messages found in all mailboxes from a specific sender.
    If you change a message in a Smart Mailbox, such as marking the message as read or unread, or moving or deleting the message, the change is reflected in the mailbox where the message is actually stored.
    So, adam, I would think that, if you had mail going to a lot of different places, and wanted to be able to see a particular set of those in a single place, you would use a smart mailbox. Maybe use the rules to direct your mail to different places to start with, but a smart mailbox to bring a set of common ones all together into a single smart mailbox?
    Maybe you have Rules move your Amazon mail to an Amazon folder and your Apple mail to an Apple folder, but then you have a Smart Mailbox that contains any mail that has the word "Receipt" in the Subject line?
    Just a thought....
    Cheers,

    why won't they provide me a serial number for my new software?
    They have promised to send me an email 5 times but never received anything.  I'm baffled.

    I chatted this morning.  Just an extention of the merry-go-round.  Nothing accomplished.
    Manashi: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
    Manashi: Hi Alain.
    Manashi: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe while I review your request?
    alain:  email adress given here
    Manashi: Thank you.
    Manashi: Could you please elaborate your issue more clearly?
    alain: ordered through your site. did not work May 3
    alain: sorry mmore to come
    Manashi: May I have the order number of the software?
    alain: call in may 3rd and was told i would get an email within 24 hours. still nothing. call back on monday, may 7 and was told i would get it in 24 hrs. still nothing. this is the same routine everyday but still nothing. my order # is xxxxxxxxxxxxx and says here on my account that its completed.
    Manashi: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
    Manashi: Thank you for the information.
    Manashi: I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
    Manashi: I have checked with the case and see that your case has been escalated to higher level, they will contact you via email as soon as possible.
    alain: that,s not acceptable. this is what they tell everyday and they NEVER contact me
    Manashi: I really sorry for the  inconvenience caused. .
    alain: what so hard to send an email
    alain: can you tell me if they tried
    Manashi: Alain, I will personally follow up the case and inform to the higher level so that they will contact you soon.
    alain: whats soon

    Manashi: Alain, you will be contacted within 24 hours.
    alain: how will i get compensated for hours over the phone, chat room and support boards?
    alain: all that for a serial number? is there an explanation?
    Manashi: Alain, if I would have the access, I could have provided you the product, but it is out of my level.
    alain: Can you cancel my order?
    alain: and you ignore my last question
    Manashi: Since the case has been escalated to higher level, I am sorry to inform you that I can not cancel your order.
    alain: how will i get compensated?
    alain: why i am talking to you if you cant do anything?
    Manashi: Once you get the order, please contact us back so that we can initiate the return.

  • My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon.  Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files.  WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

    My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon.  Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files.  WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

    What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
    What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

  • HT1766 I do not know how to back up that is why i made the apt i am afraid of loosing my info i did once before. why won't they help me?

Why won't they help me at the store that is what i need help with to save my info while the delete my old accounts and ger me ONE account and password with back up that works? Why won't they help me do this at the store? just got it working i don't want to loose it again

  • Why won't they make iTunes for us Linux users?

    There is a large community of Linux users. We have no ITunes nor anything that we can make purchases, upgrades, synch etc. Why won't Apple make iTunes available for ALL users. I keep an old desktop running Windows XP simply for iTunes. Is there a reason Linux users are ignored?

    iTunes does not support Linux. However, Wine may allow you to run iTunes. But you may encounter errors and problems. http://www.winehq.org/

  • What do these applications have in common? Why won't they launch?

    Not entirely sure why this has happened now, though think it may be something to do with an Adobe Reader update that only partially installed a few days back, however, virtually all of the applications on my machine will no longer launch, with the exception of Firefox (fortunately), Parallels Desktop and Microsoft Office.
    Trying to launch the following applications results in their icon bouncing in the dock a couple of times and then quitting, with no error message (with the exception of adobe suite, which tells me "it's unexpectadly quit"):
    Mail
    Safari
    Skype
    Adium
    Spotify
    iTunes
    iDVD
    iMovie
    SketchUp
    Adobe Applications - Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash CS3
    What is it about the above programs that's not allowing them to work, when Firefox seems to work fine?!
    If anyone knows what the problem is, or has any ideas, I would be extremely grateful!

  • Why are my Add-on Bar items halfway hidden, and why won't they display properly?

    [http://download343.mediafire.com/29kbvy9b609g/uzw78f3vqf688mb/Add-on+Bar+Glitch.PNG Glitched Add-on Bar photo]
    After using the new Firefox 4 for just a few days, I've noticed that my Add-on Bar items (mail notifier and weather bar) are jutted down below the actual visible display area they should be, so I can see half of the icons. This is not a priority issue, but it is still an issue, and it bothers me. I've already tried uninstalling then reinstalling Firefox 4, I've already tried removing then reinstalling the add-ons themselves, and I've also tried just hiding then showing the Add-on Bar but still nothing is changed. This problem only occurs when I use themes for Firefox 4 other than the default theme. The attached photo is a screenshot of my Add-on Bar so you hopefully won't think I'm crazy.

    I've figured this out. Apparently, there is a graphical bug in FF4 when the "Show: Icons and Text" option under customizing the toolbar is enabled, and the Downloads icon is in the Add-on Bar, the Downloads icon remains centered, but the other items in the Add-on Bar are pushed under the display area of the Add-on Bar. If the setting is reverted back to just icons or just text shown, or if the Downloads icon is removed from the Add-on Bar, this is fixed. A simple line of code could fix this coincidental error, but as I said before, it's not a priority issue. As always, I can just click Ctrl+J to show my current downloads. I just tried to have this icon in the newly named Add-on Bar to replicate my old-fashioned Firefox 3.6 interface, but I guess that's unreasonable for Mozilla...

  • What are these LAUNCH errors, and why won't they go away?

    Hi guys,
    Mucho thanks to anyone who can help me. Here's my problem:
    I went into my Event List and deleted lots of hyperdraw volume automation from many regions, one region at a time. This is the first time I've done this, only reading today how to do it. Now I have two error messages constantly coming up. Neither stops occurring.
    1.
    When reopening the session, the error says this, caps and exclamation points included:
    "LAUNCH Event without associated track found! Changed to track 1."
    -I have to click "ok" for four of these.
    2.
    When trying to change the lengths of regions and a few other normal editing choices, the error says this:
    "Tracknumber of LAUNCH too high!"
    -I have to click "cancel" for eight of these, and I'm never allowed to do the editing.
    So...
    -What do these mean?
    -How do I get rid of them?
    -What is "LAUNCH?"
    -Without knowing it, did I delete some Event info. in those lists that I shouldn't have?
    Random info: I'm running a 47 track session with my audio preferences set to 48 tracks. The CPU handles the load fine, before and now, I'm just getting these errors.
    Thank you!

    I'm pretty much 100% sure that "LAUNCH Event" errors are associated only with MIDI tracks.
    There's one situation I know by heart that will cause such a message and it has to do with joining folders that don't contain exactly the same track count/track assignments.
    I would suggest that in order to get rid of the messages to try the following:
    1. Open your song
    2. Select the first of your MIDI tracks create a duplicate of that track (i.e., create a new track with the same MIDI assignment and then opt-drag the regions in your original region to the new track).
    3. Delete the original track
    4. See if you can now perform your editing operations on it. IF SO, repeat this procedure for the rest of your MIDI tracks.
    Let me know if you try this out, and, how it goes.

  • Unix Executable Files...why won't they open?

    I now have a new iMac and using Mavericks 10.9.3. I used TimeMachine to transfer my files (that contained these strange "Exec" files after I had updated to Mavericks on my previous iMac) a number of these files turned into something called "Exec" files (Black rectangular icon with green "exec" in the upper left corner). and randomly appeariing in diff software.  Have these files become corrupted? Should I trash them?
    Thanks for any help
    Julie

    In the Finder, click on these Exec files and press command+I. If the file is an AppleWorks document (even with no extension) it will tell you that. If it is a UNIX shell script with owner+group+world execute permissions, or a compiled executable from source code, it will state that it is a UNIX Executable File.
    In the Terminal application, you can use the file command to discern (usually) more accurately what these black Exec documents comprise. The filenames that I use below at random, were created on my machine.
    file -b dictx2
    Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
    file -b mvim
    POSIX shell script text executable
    file -b fubar.cwk            # Finder Get Info says it is an AppleWorks document, and opens nicely in LibreOffice
    data
    The decision to delete these depends on what they are, the purpose they may continue to serve, and in the case of word processing documents, content for retention consideration.

    No. It will be replace with the exact same model you have now. Just as the service centers in Europe do not have US model phones for replacements, US Apple stores do not have European model phones.
    If you want phone you can get serviced in your country, then sell the one you have and buy one in your own country.

  • Why won't they activate the account?

    I recently bought the student version of Dreamweaver but despite uploading necessary documents, they STILL haven't given me a serial number.
    All attempts to contact customer service centres are a waste of time. You sit on the phone for hour and then get through to someone in India who doesn't have English as their first language. They tell you what you could already see from your own screen at home (that a reply from Adobe is 'pending') and then put you on hold for another department who never answers the phone.
    Really rubbish service. I'm going to try and get freeware versions of software in future, as paying for them doesn't seem to have any benefits.

    How "recently" was the order?  The verification process does not happen the instant you send documents.  They use the documents to verify your identity for the discount.  Microsoft has the same policy along with a few other companies that offer these discounts.  The demo version of the product (which is the full version with a time limit) is good for 30 days.  So just use that while you are waiting.
