OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: "entire Message" Search In Mail Grayed Out?

May 17, 2012

I just installed the latest SW update...I think it included a security update.  After I rebooted I lost the ability to use the "Entire Message" search in Apple Mail.I double checked my spotlight settings and the mail icon is checked and the privacy tab had nothing in it.

Software :: Search Entire Message Not Working In Mail?

Jun 15, 2010

I'm using a PowerPC G5 dual 2GHz with OS X V10.5.8 with all updates installed that have been released as of this date. I've looked at a number of other topics here and elsewhere and have tried a number of ways to get this to work:

I tried using Onyx and one or two other system tools that offer the ability to rebuild the Spotlight indexes. (I've made sure that Spotlight is enabled on the volume where my mail folders live, of course.)

I've also tried that from a Terminal window:
<p> <code>$ sudo mdutil -E</code>.

I tried the following command to force the mail message files to be reimported: <p><code>$ mdimport -r /System/Library/Spotlight/Mail.mdimporter</code>

...all to no effect. And repairing permissions and then repeating any of the above doesn't help.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Search Entire Message Not Working In Mail, But Spotlight Works

Apr 3, 2012

I am having a problem where my mail App is not searching the entire body of the message any more. I installed Lion soon after it was released, and I believe that it has been working up until recently. 

If I do a search, it won't search the message body, and gives me no option to search for "Message contains" (just "People" and "Subjects"). If search for subject "foo" and then click on the "Subject" pull down menu, it shows "Subject" and "Entire Message", but "Entire Message" is greyed out. 

I've done a lot of web searching and most people with similar problems had problems with Spotlight. If I do a Spotlight search, it does find all of the mail messages correctly. Its just the Mail app that won't let me search. 

I haven't tried re-indexing spotlight yet because spotlight seems to be working okay. Note that all of my mail accounts are "POP" accounts with the mail stored locally on my machine.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Mac Mail Loses All Mail In Inbox Except For One Message

Apr 11, 2012

One IMAP account is intermittently losing all mail in inbox except for one message.  After doing opening program the receive wheel spins for a long time, but at this point there are only 170 emails in the inbox because we moved all the rest to the on my mac inbox to try to solve this porblem.  There are two accounts, both from the same provider, but one of them takes a long time to receive new mail.   The wheel spins for a long time - each time it gets mail. 

Several times after finishing receive cycle, all the mail that was in the inbox disappears, except for one.  I was able to get the emails to retrn by going into settings>accounts> and changing a random setting and then changing it back the way it was.  All settings appear to be correct and match the other other account that is working correctly.

OS X :: Snow Leopard Mail Bug - Makes Copy Of Message On Desktop

Jan 22, 2010

There is a new bug that has cropped up in the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard version of Apple Mail, version 4.2. This bug was not present in Leopard's version of Apple Mail. If you drag a single email from Apple Mail out to your desktop, it makes a copy of the email message on your desktop. BUT -- if you drag multiple emails from Apple Mail out to your desktop, Mail does absolutely nothing. This used to be a very quick way to archive and/or export email messages out of Apple Mail, and it worked perfectly fine in Mac OS X 10.5. But you can no longer do this in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Mail: Clicking A Message In Inbox Should Open It In A Separate Window?

Feb 14, 2012

Before updating software (10.6.8), in Mail, clicking a message in the inbox caused the message to appear in its own separate window-- not just in the pane below the inbox. I'm not sure why this function is no longer available. I guess I could delete Preferences (where?) and see if that does it.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Email As Attachment Grayed Out In Word

Apr 12, 2012

My email attachment in word was grayed out. I am very concerned that google chrome somehow changed my settings. I did not opt for google chrome or gmail to be my default email --- not ever! Yet when I opened up my email preferences, gmail was chosen. I had to shut down after I rechose Mail as my primary email. I found this link at Office: Mac. [URL]. Now everything is working again.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Epson Stylus NX430 - Two-sided Printing Grayed Out?

May 31, 2012

Printing from any program, Two-Sided Printing on the print prompt screen is grayed out. There's no reason for this, as my desktop Windows does double-sided all the time. I've found a lot of discussions in the Leopard forum about this problem, but none of them used my system or my printer and I couldn't find similar solutions. I'm running 10.6.8., trying to print from Chrome specifically, wirelessly connected to my printer.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: How To Reformat Entire Harddrive

Jun 23, 2012

I am trying to sell my laptop and recently did a 7-pass erase on the 128GB SSD in my MBA on Snow Leopard.

All went well, including the OS install. When I look at the disc size it shows it at just under 122GB.

What happened to the other 7GB?  How can I be sure I'm not leaving any personal information on it that may be retrieved?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Finder Toolbar Search Not Working?

Apr 18, 2012

I have spotlight configured to not index the folder ~/Development, because it contains a lot of jars and I couldn't figure out how to turn off indexing of jars. 

1) I open finder to ~/Development/Foobar, which is a folder containing other folders containing files ending in ".png".

2) I go to the search field in the toolbar and type "png", switch the search mode to "File Name", but nothing is found. 

It looks like Finder's search function is completely broken if the folder being searched is not indexed by spotlight.  Finder should search without the indexes instead, or the search field should be disabled if it is broken. 

Is there an way to search a folder that is being excluded from spotlight indexing? How do I prevent spotlight from indexing the contents of jar files?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: How To Disable Yellow Highlight During Search Process

Jun 21, 2012

This is not a question about the highlight color that you set in system preferences.When you search for text, the found text jumps out at you in blaring yellow, all too literally in your face. This was useful when they first introduced it in Safari-- but now it's all over the OS. In a text editor, where the search result might be a whole paragraph, it's agonizing. It's getting to where I have to look away from the screen when I hit Search, and wait a moment for the color to die down. Isn't there any way to disable it? It hurts my eyes.I found a thread from pretty exactly two years ago asking the same question:[url]

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Smart Folder Doesn't Remember Folders To Search

Mar 13, 2012

I've made a Smart Folder to have one place to look for any bills I've paid in the last 40 days, with the following parameters: 

- Search within a folder within my Home folder called "Accounts & Services"

- Name begins with "PD 2" (all my paid bills are labeled like "PD 2012-02-01 AT&T," for example)

- Last modified date is within last 40 days

The folder worked when I created it, and whenever I opened it for a day or so afterwards. 

But a month later when I open the Smart Folder, the latest bills aren't there. 

When I "Show Search Criteria," I see the "Search within" has been changed to a circular reference — it SEARCHES WITHIN THE SMART FOLDER ITSELF! 

The practical upshot of which is that it finds only the files that were found at the time the Smart Folder was created, and does not find anything newer because it's looking in the wrong place. 

I'm hoping someone has a remedy for this, but I don't have high hopes considering the "Mac Quick Tips" podcasts from 2009 in which Smart Folders are demonstrated show this problem in the demo without realizing it.
