Since upgrading to Catalina, I am left being unable to search for emails using Apple Mail. When I type in the search box for a specific sender, it returns all of the emails in the system.
I have tried rebuilding the mailbox but it makes no difference.
Any suggestions greatly received.
Kind regards
Simon
To fix that issue.
1) Quit Mail.app
2) Stop, Clear, and Restart your Spotlight indexation. To do so : https://support.apple.com/HT201716 OR
3) Clear the Mail.app indexes. You will find some "Envelope Index*" files in your ~/Library/Mail/V7/MailData folder. Trash them and empty the Trash. (They will be rebuild after relaunching Mail.app, don't worry).
To do so:
Restart your Mac. Re-open Mail.app, and all we be fine again.
PS: You need all those steps, and in this order ;-)
