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.
