Yosemite apple mail select all messages in conversation

It appears that
Mail/View/Select/All Messages In This Conversation
no longer works. The message list UI appears to indicate there are multiple messages in a conversation (they are highlighted, but not selected), but the above listed menu item is greyed out, and using the keyboard shortcut (cmd-shift-k) does nothing.
Is there a fix for this?

  • Apple Mail - "Select All" behaving erratically

    When I open an e-mail in Apple Mail and attempt to click on Edit > Select All, occasionally Apple Mail lets me select all, but usually that option is grayed out.
    And usually I have to highlight a large portion of the e-mail text before the Select All function will appear in black type (not grayed out). Occasionally, however, I can activate Select All by merely clicking on the message text. Sometimes it will work if I highlight just a line or two.
    Is there any way of getting Edit > Select All to work for an entire e-mail - both message body and sender panel - every time, first up?

    Hi Edwin,
    Try force quitting the Mail app:
    Option+Command+Esc, then select Mail from the list. See if that helps.

  • Apple Mail: Selecting multiple messages with a common field

    Greetings ...
    I'm in the midst of moving from Eudora to Apple Mail (I know, I'm old), and I'm looking through all documentation online and here in Apple Support but can't find if there's a way to do this:
    In Eudora, I used to be able to Option-click on an email header's "From:" column in a mailbox, and instantly all mail in that mailbox with the matching "From:" header would be grouped together and highlighted.
    This enabled me, for instance, to take action (delete, transfer, etc.) on all email from one particular source at one time with a minimum of clicks.
    (This worked for any field, btw -- I could group a thread of emails on the same topic together by option-clicking on the Subject: field.)
    I've tried every key combination I can think of to elicit the same response from Apple Mail. Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    mlb

    What happens when you type say the sender, or part of subject line in the search field. This should narrow your view to display only those emails matching the criteria entered in the search.

    Searching Mail
    Need to find a certain email message or a string of them? You can search for specific text in any message in any mailbox using the Search field in Mail, which is powered by Spotlight technology, to find what you need fast.
    Type the text that you want to search for, like "Grandma" or "New York itinerary", in the Search field in the upper-right corner of the Mail window.
    Mail displays a list of its search results. Click the All Mailboxes button to display results from all mailboxes, or click Inbox to display results from your Inbox only.
    Not exactly the same but perhaps close enough?

  • Mail can't Select All messages in this Conversation

    For years I have used Cmd-Shift-K in Mail to select all messages in the same conversation. This particularly useful, for example, when reading replies to posts in Apple discussions. When I select a message, all the messages with the same topic appear in light blue and Cmd-Shift-K (or View->Select->All Messages in this Conversation) allowed me to select them all.
    Since upgrading to Yosemite, the visual cues on the messages are still there (I have the box to "Highlight messages with color when not grouped") but the command to select them is greyed out, and Cmd-Shift-K just beeps in error.
    Are other people seeing this?

  • Yosemite Apple Mail tells me one of my gmail servers is offline. I can receive but not send.

    I have 3 Gmail accounts on my MacBook Pro which has recently been updated to Yosemite OS x 10.10.1
    Storage 1TB. RAM 8GB
    Internet access (Webmail) works fine on all my gmail accounts, so the servers are definitely online
    I am now having trouble with Apple Mail and my main Gmail account
    I can receive e-mails OK but am unable to send
    Mail keeps telling me the smtp.gmail.com server is offline and I should verify my user name and password
    On Webmail I am able to both send and receive emails
    It seems the problem lies with Apple Mail
    I have tried the app specific password a couple of times
    It doesn't work
    I have tried connection doctor and everything is green except outgoing smtp which just spins
    Today, another of my gmail accounts is showing the same problem
    Is there a conflict between Yosemite Apple mail and Gmail?
    It's a long winded workaround, but can I set up a shortcut to webmail on all three accounts and dispense with Apple Mail?

    There's a sequence of steps in the support article for each of several possible scenarios of a connection failure in Mail. Please describe in detail what happened when you followed the applicable sequence all the way to the very end, without skipping any of the steps. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.

  • End User SPAM Quarantine checkbox to select all messages not working

    We are running SPAM Quarantine on M670 running 8.1.0-476 and accessing with Internet Explorer 9.0.   After logging into the SPAM Quarantine there is a top row check box that normally we can check to select all messages.  This stopped working in IE for us, any idea what setting/option we could adjust to enable it again?
    In Chrome 29, FireFox 23 it works as expected.

  • 10.6.7 apple mail - search 'entire message' is greyed out

    10.6.7 apple mail - search 'entire message' is greyed out
    can't use it - other choices ok
    was working yesterday...
    hw do I get it back?

    See the discussions at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15146088#15146088
    Can be temporary with POP perhaps, but should work.  With IMAP, it is required that copies of messages be kept for local searching.
    More info, please.

  • Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails?

    Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails? The correct sender's name will appear in the "From" column, but an old message from a different sender in the body. This happens randomly. I have an iMac OSX 10.6.8. I recently had the hard drive cleaned, but Apple Mail seemed to be running fine when I set it up again. Could this be a virus? What should I do about it? Thanks for any insights!

    Thanks.  While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
    it out.  Appreciate the quick response!

  • Pop email account - no option to leave mail on server - no option to select all messages

    I have recently obtained a Playbook and I use the latest OS version 2.1.0.1314 So, unlike other users, I did not experience the lack of an email application. I think the email application is excellent but it does have a couple of shortcomings. I would expect an option to leave email on the server when deleting emails on the Playbook. I have checked all the types in setup, not just Pop, and none offer this feature. I am a bit puzzled by another post on this site that refers to such an option. Was it a feature previously? I would also expect a bulk selection option so that all emails could be tagged for deletion without having to tag each one separately. These 2 features may well have been requested from Blackberry already and hopefully they will be included in a future release. Do Blackberry have a Suggestion Box?

    Let me try and explain why that option is not required or even relevant to Playbook.
    An email Client like Outlook or Thunderbird goes and gets a copy of your email from the webmail and stores it on your computer permanently. That "pop" action very often deletes the webmail version so you have an option to leave it there or not.
    Playbook messages app is not an email client. Think of it as a remote control for your webmail. It takes a temporary copy of any webmail less than 7 days old (you can vary it between 1 day and 30 days) and whatever you do with it in Playbook happens to webmail. It uses your webmail's own rules for things like storing copies of sent mail.
    If you delete a mail, it deletes it from webmail. If you don't, it doesn't. When it gets to 7 days old it just does not sync with Playbook and you can't see it any more. But it will still be there in Webmail unless you purposefully delete it with Playbook. 
    If you want to delete a whole page, tap the top one and the bottom one at the same time to select all mails between. It is most effective when in Portrail mode. Remember though this will delete them from your webmail.

  • Suggestion to Apple: Allow "delete all" messages on iPhone mail

    Having switched from a Treo, one of the most frustrating shortcomings is the inability to select all emails and delete them. Limiting to deleting one by one is very tedious and time comsuming.
    Apple, please fix this with a software update!

  • Apple Mail list all recipients?

    When I look in mailboxes, Apple Mail only shows the first recipient on the item's TO list.
    Is there a way to get it to list all recipients in the mailbox view?

    Select the "Sent" folder at the left of Mail's window.
    If any message is selected, deselect it by doing CMND+CLICK
    Enter a search term:
    Click on "Message contains: sarah":
    Click on "ANY" and choose "TO" from the dropdown menu:
    Add "Alex" after "sarah""
    Click on "Message contains: alex":
    Click on "ANY" and choose "TO" from the dropdown menu:
    All messages to both  "Sarah" and Alex will be listed in the usual message list to the left of Mail's message editing window, including those sent to Alex whether Alex as a main recipient, as cc or bcc. However, if a Conversation exists for any group of messages, other recipients might also be included lower down in the messages within that conversation, which seems logical because they took part in that conversation.
    Hope this works for you.

  • How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

    Hi folks,
    I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
    So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
    -- Josh

    I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
    Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
    You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
    With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
    After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
    (Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
    Let us know if this helps or hurts.

  • Apple Mail and Sent Messages

    I have been having some issues with my iCloud email account and Mavericks. I wasn't sure if this was an iCloud issue or an issue with Apple Mail. It has to do with saving Sent messages. A couple of months ago, I had some issues with Mail. I deleted the com.apple.mail and com.apple.MailServiceAgent folders in ~Library/Containers and I deleted any plist files in Preferences. It worked for a couple months. Then, about two weeks ago, I noticed Sent emails were not be saved any where on my iMac.
    So, I repeated the procedure and created Mail anew. It worked great for about a week. I always have the "save sent messages to server" option turned on. Then, one day I got some kind of message that a folder called "Sent" could not be created on the server. Looking at Mail, my Sent folder was completely gone. All of my previously saved messages in Sent were moved to the folder INBOXToDos.mbox/Sent Messages.
    At first I thought iCloud itself was messed up. I logged into iCloud. There was no Sent mailbox, and there was no INBOXToDo mailbox. So, now I have no sent messages anywhere in iCloud. I sent an email from Safari in iCloud, and then, iCloud created the Sent mailbox.
    Still, my Mavericks iMac will not save sent messages anywhere. I need help sorting this out and don't want to lose my previous sent messages even though they seem to be stored in some wonky folder.

    Where is the Sent Messages folder listed? If it is not under MAILBOXES but in an IMAP folder, select it and go to Mailbox menu, Use this mailbox for>Sent.
    It should disappear and sent messages then appear in the Sent folder.
