I'm having some difficulty doing a search. I'm trying to find all emails that were sent to me from my friend, Mike. I looked online and one website said that as I type the name in the search box, a drop down menu should appear that will allow me to choose from "sent", "from", etc. but no such menu appears. I'm using Mail 5.3. Thank you for your help; an answer to this dilemma will increase my productivity.

Hey there Alec S.,


I see that you are running into some issues when attempting to search Mail on Lion. I have a basic article describing the functioning of this feature, and it can be found here:

You can also find further information about locating the mail messages you are looking for in this article:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
