I set up a new Smart Mail Box which doesn't seem to have loaded all the mail with the criteria I set so I did a test and sent an email to myself with the words I used but it doesn't go into the smart box any help would be appreciated.

Your criteria refer to text in either "From" or "Any recipient".
I am thinking that you might want to search for text in the entire message instead, perhaps like
Hi, I flagged all the messages that I wanted it to load but that didn't work. I carefully put in all the email addresses I wanted it to load putting as you suggested (any recipient) but loaded a whole host of stuff irrelevant so I'm thinking do it manually.
Hi here it is
Sorry I meant Entire message and that is what I put in, I will try the Flag and thanks for you help
It is not clear to me what you are doing, but I am suspecting that you may not be defining it correctly.
" I carefully put in all the email addresses I wanted it to load putting as you suggested (any recipient) but loaded a whole host of stuff irrelevant so I'm thinking do it manually."
For one thing, I never suggested to use "any recipient".
It makes sense if the criterium you want to check against for example the recipient has a particular address.
Note that if using "Any", a message needs only match one criterium to get in.
That may be why you are getting a lot of messages in the smart mailbox.
Regarding flagging the message: you can create a smart mailbox based on flag:
but AFAICT you can't select the messages with a flag of a particular color.
Can you post the details of how the smart mailbox is set up?
Control-click the smart mailbox, choose Edit Smart Mailbox and post a screenshot.
Make sure that no personal information is visible.
Thanks very much and yes you were right:)
Hi actually I was mistaken it didn't work, so I tried to red flag all messages I wanted to to smart box but that doesn't work either, any ideas please?
Can you explain in more detail how it is failing?
