10.15.5 Reset Mail's Search Preferences - How to Search the Entire Account?

10.15.5 Reset Search the Preferences in Mail.

I installed the Catalina 10.15.5 updates on my Mac, and need to be able to search my entire Mail - not just the mailbox that is selected.


So, without researching this, how do I search the entire eMail account?


It took me a while to get it to search the entire account.


Now it is back to only only searching the mailbox I select.


Any thoughts would be great.

So, here's the trick...

  1. Search: for something (Far-Right, Top-Corner)
  2. Select: All in the (Bottom-Left)

And it searches everything. As you enter more characters more is singled out. And it does so from then on out.
