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

 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

 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

 Would be grateful if anyone can give me direction.

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

Re: Mail problems

[Peter Crisp]

Ideally going to the Family environment for Mum is the best way to keep 
separate Messages and FaceTime traffic. This is the preferred config by Apple 
for your scenario. You can go back to a single Apple ID if you don’t like 
‘Family' after setting it up - it’s not complicated to set up. But to do this 
all family members need their own dedicated Apple ID. Also not a big deal. I 
remember when my family of 5 was functioning quite adequately with one Apple ID 
(before Family setup existed), it was possible to set Messages to not have 
overlap of one family member to another where not preferred.

Just go to Settings.]>Messages>Send and Receive and intuitively select the 
phone number/email address preferred for the device you’re holding. Do this 
across all devices (iOS and OSX) to keep out of each others way. Repeat this in 
FaceTime as well. 

Having done the iMAP migration across all devices, you might as well do the 
Family set up as well. 

Pete.

Re: Mail problems again

[Pat]

Hi, Ronni,

It’s fixed! I tried all the suggestions with no luck, so started from scratch 
with the router: discovered that it only had its own DNS number in the Network 
Wi-Fi panel. Fortunately, I had all the original data written down, so was able 
to add the necessary. Now I can gather up the piles of hair lying around and 
try to stick it back on. I can’t imagine how those numbers vanished away.

Thank you very much for your help!
Cheers,
Pat

 NO... As long as nothing is selected (ticked) in the boxes above *.local,

 Connection Doctor has indicated Mail can connect to the Internet as it shows 
 green in Connection Status.
 But shows Red dots in the Account Status column.
 So you need to Check your Incoming IMAP or POP and Outgoing SMTP email 
 account settings are correct as per your ISPs Mail Settings.
 
 Check you don't have any third party firewall software, such as Little Snitch 
 blocking the necessary ports.
 
 I presume you have already tried Quitting Mail and Restarting your Mac and 
 then opening Mail again? 
 
 Power Cycle your Network Modem  Router  Mac
 Power all Off - Then first Power ON the Modem - then the Router - then your 
 Mac.

Re: Mail problems again

Hi Pat,

 Hi, Ronni,
 
 The only entry on the Proxy panel is at the bottom where it says: Bypass 
 proxy settings for these Hosts  Domains: *.local, 169.254/16
 
 Should this be removed?

NO... As long as nothing is selected (ticked) in the boxes above *.local, 
169.254/16

Connection Doctor has indicated Mail can connect to the Internet as it shows 
green in Connection Status.
But shows Red dots in the Account Status column.
So you need to Check your Incoming IMAP or POP and Outgoing SMTP email account 
settings are correct as per your ISPs Mail Settings.

Check you don't have any third party firewall software, such as Little Snitch 
blocking the necessary ports.

I presume you have already tried Quitting Mail and Restarting your Mac and then 
opening Mail again? 

Power Cycle your Network Modem  Router  Mac
Power all Off - Then first Power ON the Modem - then the Router - then your Mac.

Cheers,
Ronni

 
 Thanks,
 Pat

 The wifi is working properly: the iPad and my husband's laptop have no 
 difficulty with it. There are apps on the iPad that interact with the Mac 
 by wifi and they function normally. So it must be something within Mail.
 
 In Mail, the 3 POP email accounts are shown as off-line, with exclamation 
 marks, and they cannot be put back on-line. In the Mailbox menu, I can 
 toggle back and forth between the on and off setting, but nothing happens. 
 None of the account settings have changed.
 
 Mail Connection Doctor says Mail is able to connect to the Internet and 
 Connection Status is green, the 3 email accounts all have red status, and I 
 should check account data. I glanced at the Logs. The most recent

Re: Mail problems

[cm]

Hi Frank,

I have had this problem intermittently on a very few occasions in past and in 
my case the server was always down. Can you log into your server with a web 
browser, say, and just check that the email account is functioning?

If the server is down, when the server comes back up everything should start to 
function again.

Let the group know if this is not a problem with the server as others may see a 
solution.

Cheers,
Carlo

 Hello All
 
 I am having a major problem with Mail.
 All of a sudden it is asking for a password to the mail server which it

 Luckily my iPhone still pushes the emails to me through MobileMe
 
 I have gone into Mail/Ppreferences/Accounts and reset the password with no 
 luck.
 
 It is an IMAP account that has been working without problems for nearly 4 yrs.
 
 I have checked the forums and tried Resetting the Pram, Repairing

 in Keychain.
 
 If anyone has had a similar problem to this and has resolved it I would very 
 much like to know your solution.
 
 Many Thanks

Re: Mail problems

[Bill Parker]

Frank,


I frequently get this and I get two sources of mail via the one  
server.  One sometimes doesn't work so I know its not the source.   I  
shut down mail.   If that doesn't work I shut down the computer and re- 
start.  That always works.

Re: Mail problems

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Frank,

 deleting all references to this password in Keychain.

When you have deleted all references to this password in Keychain, did you do 
it as per instructions below?

1. Quit Mail if it's running.

2. Open Keychain Access

3. Find the password that Mail is having a problem with and delete it, then 
quit Keychain Access.

4. Restart Mail and it will ask for the Mail account's  password again, type in 
the password and tick
'Remember this password in my keychain'.

If you still experience the password problem, you might need to 'Repair' 
Keychain.

To check keychains for problems:

1. Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications 
folder.

2. Open Keychain Access

3. Choose Keychain Access  Keychain First Aid.

4. Enter your user name and password.

5. Select Verify and click Start. Any problems found will be displayed.

If there are problems, select Repair, and then click Start.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Mail problems

Thanks to those who have responded with to my Problem with Mail.

Unfortunately I do not have access to the server by WebMail as I do with
iinet.

I will try Ronni¹s suggestion later tonight when I get a chance.
