search problems

Mac Mail doesn't return complete results when I run a Subject search.


I send about 3-4 emails each month using the same subject line each time - Details for our meeting. When I run a search, Mac Mail returns everything correctly, until about a year back, then skips all qualifying emails until 2018. If I manually scroll back in the account to find and open a qualifying email in the missing period, that email then will appear when I run the search again.


What's the deal?


MacBook, macOS 10.15

Hi Robert!


It sounds like Mail isn't returning all of the relevant search results, and we're happy to help. You can try rebuilding your mailboxes as described here:
