When I search for email in Apple Mail in Lion on my MacBook Air, vast numbers of emails are not found. Problem has been experienced from day 1 with computer.
Title says it all pretty much.
I finally found a solution. In about:config, under browser.sessionhistory.max_entries, I changed 5 to 20. End of problem.

Have a Zimbra server at work for my work emails which I also use to recieve my emails on my Iphone. I have been trying to set up for email for our Zimbra server at work on my new Mac Mini's mail. I have server address, User Name, Password, and have tried all the various ways to set it up. On my Iphone 4 it is set up in the mail config as an exchange. I tried to copy the settings my iphone uses and imput them into the mail setup. Every time I have tried POP, IMAP, Exchange I get a message that it cannot connect to the server and I should check my connection to the internet. I kinda had a similar problem setting it up on my Iphone initially. I am starting to think that Apple is lacking when it comes to its native mail app. It has no problem registering my google email but for some unknown reason it wont take my work email through exchange. Really Scratching my head, any ideas?? Thanks again for taking the time to read.
I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/46221-mac-mail-app-dont-work-outside-company. html
in which the following ports were suggested
ports 25, 465, and/or 487 to send mail.
port 143/993 to retrieve mail over IMAP -
I am new to iMovies. When I make a video using the mic and camera in my Macbook Pro, the audio and video are not in synch. Very annoying. How can I fix this?

Exact search for phrase in Apple Mail
I want to search in all my mail in Apple Mail for: Some phrase exactly this way
For example, I ONLY want to see emails which contain: working with Andy
I do NOT want to see any emails which contain less than ALL those words in that EXACT order.
In other words, I want to search for an exact phrase.
How do I do this?With difficulty I think.
If it's a short phrase you might be able to get close by;
Use Boolean searches:
You can use Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT. For example, to search for messages that contain “yosemite” and “yellowstone” but not “teton,” type “yosemite AND yellowstone NOT teton” or “yosemite AND yellowstone -teton.” You must type Boolean operators in uppercase. -
Searching for keywords in Apple Mail 5.2 desktop
I can easily use the Search feature in Mail 5.2 and it will show messages with the keyword I am looking for, but I can find no way for it to display the message or to tell me what specific mailbox the message is located. I must be overlooking something very basic, but I cannot find any specific direction either in help or in the forums. The message I am looking for shows up in the Drop Down list under the categories People, Subjects, and Mailboxes--but no matter which area I click on no message is shown, only the criteria specific category now shows in the Search box and clicking on that produces nothing.
Again, I must be overlooking something or else there is some glitch in Mail.
I will greatly appreciate any suggestions or fixes.
Message was edited by: Hunter06Updated Information: I created a rule in my PC Outlook 2010 which makes a copy of all my mail and puts into another folder. As I stated above, all my sub-folders seem to be getting e-mail just fine. So, in this case I am now getting my inbox mail too, just its in another directory. Of course I am getting double mail, but thats ok for now.
I also had deleted all mail from my inbox from Thunderbird and re-started Apple Mail, which had no clue my mail was deleted. I used the "Rebuild" option, and then it finally figured out the mail was deleted. I went into the INBOX folder on the Mac and the individual files were gone now. I now have an empty inbox folder, and no new mail coming in (inside the Apple Mail folder).
After all this, I am still not getting mail in the inbox. This is very strange. I thought it might be something clogging up the works, but no such luck. Still, any help would be appreciated. Can I truly be the only person having this problem? At this point, it seems like I need to delete the account and re-create and see what happens. That would make me really disappointed in Apple Mail, something I wouldnt expect. -
When I go to Yahoo mail it tells me I should upgrade to the latest version of Safari. When I go to apple to do the upgrade it says I am using the latest version.
What am I missing here?You can avoid using web based email for Yahoo.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
Then click + to add your Yahoo account. -

Set up Yahoo.fr email on Apple Mail
Hi everyone,
I just got FiOS installed at home but I am unable to send emails using Apple Mail. The verizon smtp server seems to reject my email address (Yahoo.fr (France) email account) and I can't connect to yahoo.fr smtp servers.
Is Verizon only accepting .com email accounts?
Thank you for your help.
Solved!

Thank you for your help.
If you're going to use the Verizon.net servers, you have to authenticate to them with your @verizon.net email address. You should be able to configure this and still ahve it work to send from your Yahoo.fr address.
Most likely the Yahoo.fr SMTP server is not connecting because is uses port 25. Verizon blocks port 25 for 3rd party domains. You would need to use an alternate port. More information on the block can be found here: http://www.verizon.net/port25

trying to set up an apple id for a friend. it says email is already in use. but when i search for the id using this email it says no apple id associated with this email address.
Hello, Wyseup.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Most likely this email address has been attempted to be setup as an Apple ID at some point. You can reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below. If you do not have access to the email account, need assistance or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4. I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect. Suggestions?
I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others. -

When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.
Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.

Random delay in receiving emails in Apple Mail
Hi Everyone:
I've searched online about this problem but I didn't find anything helpful for my situation. I'm hoping someone here can help me. The problem I'm having is that there is a delay in receiving emails in Apple Mail—and it's happening in random. Here's a list of things that pertain to the problem:
1. Delays in receiving emails vary from 1 hour to 1 day. The delayed emails are actually sitting on the incoming email server and can be seen via webmail using a browser. So, to me, apparently this is a problem with Apple Mail not downloading the new email where it's clearly received on the server.
2. The same delayed email, when resent by the sender a few times, randomly downloaded by Apple Mail in no particular order. One of the resent emails arrived with no delay while others are delayed again. This is one same email from one same sender.
3. This problem happens on Macs running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x), Lion (10.7.x), and Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x). Different Macs, different email user accounts, same domain name. But, some other Macs with other user accounts on the same domain name have never had this problem ever.
4. Besides this problem of delayed emails, I've also noticed another problem that seems to tag along: read emails or trashed emails will show up in the Inbox as unread/new emails the next day.
The steps I've taken so far:
1. Talked and had the email server provider checked the server and the delayed emails with long headers, and they found nothing wrong with the email server functions. I concurred as I can see the emails not delayed if I use the webmail/browser.
2. Rebuilt the email account in Apple Mail, reset keychain to the email account, clear cache, fixed permissions on the Mac with the problem.
And the problem persists...I am having a similiar problem with emails sent to my 10.6 xserve.
I have noticed most, if not all, of the problems are connected to email coming from google servers i.e. [email protected] As I also administer a google business account I contacted Google and when they looked into it indicated this sometime has something to do with google's 'Undo Send" function. However in my case google is indicating it is an issue on my server with no further explination.
