Yosemite and Mail sort problem

Hi,
I typically have a few-hundred items in my Mail inbox. Prior to upgrading to Yosemite, when I had an email highlighted and clicked either "From" or "Subject" Mail would sort all of the email by that corresponding field and jump down to all of the messages that fit that criteria.
After the upgrade, I can still obviously sort, but for example, if I sort by name, the view doesn't "jump", meaning all the A's come to the top and I have to scroll down to find the highlighted message.
This is a bit annoying and slows me down quite a bit in terms of productivity, ie reading all the messages from a particular person or from a particular chain.
Does anyone know how to toggle this back?

Have you gotten any replies, help, hints on this? I have this problem, too, and it is really getting annoying. I have professional mail folders with hundreds of messages and I used to heavily rely on the "sort but stay on this message" feature. I just assumed that that's how every mail program works and how every mail program should work.

Yosemite and mail - BIG problems with memory leak

Our small company has had significant problems since upgrading (?) to Yosemite, which by all we could glean from Apple would be a relatively bug free install. At random times, usually while composing an e-mail, the mail program will just spike in memory consumption, going from a couple hundred Mb of RAM consumption to over 70 Gb in just 3-5 minutes. This obviously causes the entire machine to come to a standstill and the mail process needs to be killed. A cascading problem is that when this happens any other programs will also become non-responsive, and they also will need to be killed, often at the loss of work. I've talked with the support people at Apple and disappointingly they seem to be unaware that this is an issue, or more likely they are aware of it (I mean, just do a search of "Yosemite mail memory" and see what you get) and want to downplay that the release has been a HUGE failure for MANY people. After about 20 of these application memory events since upgrading over this past weekend at our company I would like to see where Apple is on fixing this. BTW Apple, your user base is fairly sophisticated with computing, and having your online assistants continue to try and point the problem at the users - who are all having the EXACT SAME ISSUE - is alienating your user base. I've been using Apple for over 20 years and this is the worst release you've ever had. I think you're well on your way to becoming Microsoft in 1994, we need the old Apple company back.

I have the same problem and after a few days I am thinking seriously about abandoning Apple mail and .... going back to Outlook, I do not like MS, but may not have another option. Any suggestions.
I am amazed that Apple does not give any information about the problem. It does look like they are loosing their touch and appear to be following the Microsoft and Blackberry path.
Within a small company like mine, another few days of this and it will be impossible to keep it.
Hate to say it, but for the first timewith Apple I miss the old OS, it did not look as good but at least it worked..

Downloaded yosemite and mail application not responding? will not open can any one help?

downloaded yosemite and mail application not responding? will not open can any one help?

Restart the machine in Safe Mode and attempt to open each app. Also please explain exactly how you are attempting to open the apps. For example, "When I click the Safari icon on the Dock it bounces but does not open." To start in Safe Mode hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone unitl a progress bar appears.

New iPhone 5 - internet and mail reception problems?

I just acquired a new iPhone 5. I have regular reception internet and mail reception problems. The internet on both Wifi and provider network drops out on a regular basis, although reception signals of both wifi and network are strong. When turning off the phone and restarting the internet comes back for a short while and loses connection again. Has somebody else experience similar difficiulties, If yes how can this be fixed.

Yosemite and Mail massive memory leak and excessive CPU usage

I've just installed Yosemite and upgraded to 10.10.2 via the AppStore. Now I have a problem with Mail sucking up all the CPU (>106% !) and memory (>8Gb and rising while doing nothing). Everything runs fine when I quit Mail. Very disturbing behaviour!
I've tried several suggestions found elsewhere on the board here, such as turning off and even removing all Mail plug-ins including SpamSieve, but without positive results. I've tried un-selecting 'Store draft msgs on server', as well as the option for junk and sent msgs. but again without any difference. Going Offline within Mail also makes no difference to its memory hogging or CPU usage.
I notice this is an issue that's been around since last year (wish I'd known that before upgrading to Yosemite today) and I am just completely flabbergasted that it still exists. Would've thought Apple'd have fixed it in the first but certainly in the second incremental OSX Yosemite release.
Is there anything else I could try that's proven to be effective in stopping Mail's massive memory leak?

Okay, I've run Disk Util and restarted. Seems to have made a little bit of a difference to the RAM gobbling in that it appears to be going at a slower rate, but it's still up at around the 45Gb after an hour. Here's the EtreCheck report in the hope that it helps.

ICal, Skype and Mail with problems

Hi!
I need some help about a problem related my iCal and others softwares as Skype and Mail which use a customized numeric system (iCal while changing the days or Skype and Mail while receiving any new message in the red splash...).
The problem is the numbers in wrong place...(a little moved up instead to be centered). I tried to change the system fonts, but it doesn't work.
So, please, if someone has same problem and know how to solve, please share it!
Thanks a lot!
Kaio

NV... I saw the same question in other post. The problem is about the duplication of font Helvetica Neue.
Just find it and delete the duplicates. All is working good now.

Upgraded to Yosemite and Mail app crashes with Verizon email account

I just upgraded to Yosemite and now my Mail app will not start. It errors on my Verizon email account. When going to System preferences it will not allow access to the account set up process, it crashes as well.

Safari and Mail fonts problem 10.4.2

So I cleaned my fonts up and left the core fonts in system>library>fonts as one is supposed to but now I get this [img src="http://www.markclay.net/Picture%201.png]. Mail also presents the same problem .
Firefox offers no such problem.
I've set the fonts on safari and mail to be one's I know are running but to no avail. Any clues?
Thanks
Marko

What the h was going on
there then?
Some non-Unicode fonts that users install are constructed in ways that make them incompatible with OS X Cocoa apps, because they will replace the real fonts and generate gibberish. Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic are the two most common.

Mail sorting problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

I have a strange problem with Mail after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Before upgrading, when I tried to search my Mail Inbox for e-mails from a specific sender, the esearch results would be indexed by the name of the sender. For example: when I entered 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail, it would display a list of email from 'John Smith'
Now after upgrading, the same query indexes the search results by the 'To' address i.e. my email address.For example: if my name is 'Steve Johnson', a search for 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail displays a list of email to 'Steve Johnson' and not from 'John Smith' which is how it used to display before.
My emails are sorted by Date always, and I am using the default Mail view [not classic view]
Can someone please help with a fix for this to help me get back to the original display I had while searching? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem. It's incredibly annoying!!! Did you find an answer?

Mail sort problem

When I leave mail open, even if it's only for a little while, the sort options disappear. I have to close mail and reopen to see the drop-down menu again. It's sooo annoying, especially when I want to sort from "from" to clean out emails. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution for it?

Have you gotten any replies, help, hints on this? I have this problem, too, and it is really getting annoying. I have professional mail folders with hundreds of messages and I used to heavily rely on the "sort but stay on this message" feature. I just assumed that that's how every mail program works and how every mail program should work.

10.4.7 and Mail Attachment problem

The 10.4.7 update has caused major problems for me, on several different Macs. When I send an email to a Windows user, they tell me that the attachment didn´t come through.
I had this problem with some Outlook users before, but now it seems to affect everybody. I found similar problems on a couple of other Mac-forums.

I just recieved an email from F-Secure, after I told them, that no attachments sent from Mail (after 10.4.7) go through to F-Secure / Windows users.
They have investigated the problem and reported this:
The attachments MIME header has the following fields: name and filename.
For some reason Mail removes the blank spaces from the name field but leaves the filename field untouched. These differences in the fields make F-Secure remove the attachment (alarm).
One "fix" is removing the blank spaces from the filename, for example File 1.pdf >> File1.pdf. But this in not easy computing. Everything works just fine with 10.4.6 and before, but 10.4.7 >> is causing the problems.

Thanks. JV.

Internet accounts in Yosemite and Mail preferences

I have recently installed Yosemite. I am having problems with Mail. I wish to add my BT POP mail client. The account is not in Internet Accounts but appears in Preferences in Mail, but I cannot delete these to start again as it says I can only delete from Internet Accounts where they fail to show.
Very grateful for any suggestions as wasting hours on this.

Same problem here - this is really annoying since you cannot delete a previously added mail account anymore without resetting the complete mail app.

Installed Yosemite and mail search is now broken.

I have installed Yosemite today. Now when I search in mail for a particular sender or subject no mails return. Do I need to reindex my mailboxes? Do I need to do something else? Please help.

Deleted Home/Library/Mail/V2/Envelope* and restarted mail. The indexes are rebuilding. This is a slow process for a large mailbox.
