Re: Odd things

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Bill,

 

If you want to avoid similar problems in the future you should be able to set 
photos to NOT open automatically when you plug in something that would 
otherwise trigger it (card/camera/phone/ipad).

 

I remember I did this back when I used to plug my iphone into my iMac to sync 
music etc but preferred to use image capture rather than the Photos app to 
manage my photos. It used to annoy me that Photos would open every time I 
plugged the phone in – so I found the setting to switch it off.

 

Of course, you might prefer photos to open automatically - in which case I 
guess you have to remember to unplug when you have finished  ;o)

 

We all have our own ways of how we like to do these things – but I just thought 
I’d mention it.

 

 

Cheers

 

 

 

Neil

Photos may sense there are images on the card/USB and is opening to let you you 
know there’s something you might like to import.

Re: MAIL PROBLEMS

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Jewels

If Mail is definitely searching the correct Mailbox (as you can set it to 
search just one folder, just the Inbox, or “all folders”) then it could be an 
issue with the Spotlight search for it.
You can set it to “stop” searching in Spotlight, then after a few minutes 
“Removing” it again to make it start searching.
Another option is to remove the Envelope files which forces it to reindex email 
once it opens again.

With these things, you need to ensure you have a good backup before you start 
(just incase something goes wrong, you can then go back to the “original” files.

To do the rebuild of Spotlight and the “stop/go” solution, have a look at this 
link here - 
https://support.4it.com.au/article/search-not-working-or-incomplete-results-in-osx-el-capitan-mac-mail/
(Section 2 covers it. And Section 3 covers the removal of envelope files).

If still no success, then you can force Spotlight to “Reset” itself a few 
different ways, so this can sometimes help as well.
Again, ensure you have a good backup before you start. And you have to be 
“slightly comfortable “ in using Terminal for parts of this.
https://www.boxaid.com/blog/search-not-working-mac-el-capitan/

But either of those should hopefully get it working for you. (Start with the 
easy ones first, then work your way through to the later ones).

Hope that information helps.
Kind regards
Daniel

Re: MAIL PROBLEMS

[Julie Bedford]

Hi Ronni

Thanks for your prompt reply !

1.  Checked Mailbox (in the top menu), then to ‘Go to Favourite Mail Box; - 
already selected as ‘in box’

2. Mail already includes bin, junk etc

3. I have synchronised, as suggested

4. Spotlight suggestions was ticked already.

When I put a name in the search box in mail, it appears to only search ‘mail 
boxes’ and not the in box.  When I click the magnifying glass in the mail 
search bar, it comes up with ‘mailboxes’ as the only option.  Mail has worked 
perfectly for years but not now.

I’ll do a shut down and see if mail updates.  I’ll get back to you either way.

Many thanks

Re: MAIL PROBLEMS

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Jewels, 

If a specific mailbox is selected in the Favourites bar, Mail searches only 
that mailbox. To search all mailboxes instead, click All.
Mail may not be looking in the Bin or Junk mailboxes, or searching encrypted 
messages. To include them when searching all mailboxes, choose Mail > 
Preferences, click General, then select the options.
You may need to sync the mailboxes on your Mac with those on the mail server. 
Choose Mailbox > Synchronise > [account].
The Mail folder (located in your home Library folder) may be excluded from 
Spotlight searching. To check, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click 
Spotlight, then click Privacy.
Kind Regards,
  Ronni

MAIL PROBLEMS

[Julie Bedford]

Hi All,

I’m having a very frustrating time with my MacPro running El Capitan 10.11.16.  
About 2 months ago, I found I was unable to search for emails sent and received 
in the search bar.  I work from home and daily need to locate older received / 
sent emails.  As you can imagine, it literally takes me hours to locate a 
particular email.

I also have an imac running Mojave - the mail used to operate just fine until 
recently and now it deletes all incoming and outgoing emails approx a month 
old. 

Would be grateful if anyone can give me direction.
