Hi Jim, From your description, it seems as if you might not have been following those detailed instructions exactly. It might seem a little pedantic, but I suggest you go back and have another attempt at following those numbered step-by-step directions very closely. Slight changes can make the

Hi Nic! I can't remember which message but some time back I did state that I followed the directions from one of the messages and did not get the same results. At this point it is faster for me to use spotlight to find what I need. I think it is quicker and just easier now to not have to spend

Just to be clear, the method we're explaining won't allow you to search by mailbox. That you need to do in the favourites bar. It will, however, allow you to search by contact, subject, attachment, etcetera and give you various other options. Can you please tell us step-by-step what you are

Well here's what I am doing! first command-option-f brings up a search dialogue./ Then if I type in a search string it will probably find that search string but then when I downarrow it may or may not find another similar string. If I enter on that string it will search for that string but I

It has nothing to do with the view you are in; it works in both views for me. Try: Type a name which is in your contacts; Press down arrow until you hear the full name read out; Press return; Press left arrow; Press down arrow. Anything then? -- You received this message because you are

Hi Nic Nothing when I followed those steps. I have no way to search by date or mailbox or any of the other search features. I can do a spotlight search and that works fine but it would be nice in mail. Not sure why it doesn't work the way it is supposed to. Thanks, Jim ! On May 20, 2014, at

My only other thought is Quick Nav. Ensure that it is *off* before trying this, or things may not work correctly. On May 20, 2014, at 12:38 PM, Jim Gatteys jgatt...@gmail.com wrote: I've tried that and also gone to the search from the toolbar with the same results. Jim On May 20, 2014, at

While typing, I use up and down arrows to move between suggestions. This will give suggestions, depending on what you typed, for contact's names, subject lines etcetera. Once you have selected one, you can navigate past it with the left arrow, and then use the up and down arrows again to choose

It will move back through, yes, but down arrow once you are on it. The first left arrow puts you on the name selection, the second on the addressing type (to, from, etc) selection. Once you choose a name you don't seem able to choose another, but the address type is always available. On May 18,

Hi, In Mail 7.2 (OS 10.9.2), is there a way to get to the search tokens / terms when in the search box to look for messages (Cmd+options+f)? While typing in the search field, I can up and down arrow among suggestions, but I think I can also specify whether to look in any particular field. I
