Search function in apple mail does no longer werk since update Ventura, even after most recent version update

>I typed "calendar" and it added to the list and I'm able to search again!!! I hope this helps :o)

I do not follow. You typed "calendar", after choosing it in the list?

It worked, thanks Jskywalker ! So simple when you know how

This fixed my mail search issue in less than 3 minutes! Thanks JSkywalker

Is there now a good fix from mac for the sudden loss of search function--a catastrphic loss!!! I still use Big Sur as so0 many problems with later OS

Hi, You posted this a while ago. Is it still working for you? I do not seem to have a 'maildata' or 'envelope' file/folder. Can you post the complete path?

it would be helpful if we could see step 4

Thank you! That worked for me!

That worked. Thanks

I'll be ******, that actually worked!

Didn't work for me. Tried multiple times.

Nothing worked for me. I now work from an older Mac that I do not update (even if in turn that affects other apps). How can this issue be elevated to *URGENT* with the Apple programmers?

Thanks very much for this response. It worked perfectly. The spacing is important.. trust me, I proved that!!

thanks again

I just tried this several times and it works:

When the Mail Search Box isn’t working

Click on the delete symbol (dark circle with x) to highlight a rounded blue square.

Hit Command + Delete which deletes what was in the box. 

Now it should show just the delete symbol without the blue highlighted rounded square. 

Double click the delete symbol.
