When searching MacMail, emails that met the search criteria identified in a column which mailbox they were in. For some reason the Ventura version of Mac Mail seems to have dropped that feature. Anyone know how to get it back?
Mac mini, macOS 13.4
Hi Barney. Thank you for your diligent reply and sorry for being unclear (English is not my native language). An example will probably help:
If I enter "Barney" in the search box of MacMail, a drop-down menu offers a link to (1) emails from Sender which contain Barney, (2) emails which subjects contain Barney, and (3) emails which attachments contain Barney (see screen shot attached).
What the drawdown menu does no longer do (it did until Ventura, I think) is to offer a link to all Mailboxes which name contains Barney.
It is quite upsetting when you have to access one of more than 500 mailboxes (as I do for each of my clients)...
Great! Works! (I should have known to at least try that.) I guess I just confused the Toolbar and the Column Headings Bar. I thought that with the Customize Toolbar item in the View menu there should be something similar to add columns. But thanks for showing me how to do it.
Hi Barney. I have another question for you in the same vein as that of OldTomBank. In Ventura, the MacMail search engine listed in its drawdown menu all mailboxes containing the value entered in the search box. It no longer does. Any hint for that? Tank you.
Ok, I vaguely remember posts discussing that search was dropped, but I’m not sure. My email storage plan only contains three mailboxes, keepers, inbox, and deleted, so needing to search based on mailbox name isn’t something I’ve cared about.
Assuming you are using column layout, ctrl-click on the headers and add the Mailbox column.
Most, if not all, columns work that way in macOS.
I don’t understand your question, and I haven’t used Ventura for about eight months. I don’t remember much about it.
