I’m experiencing a strange issue with Search Folders . I’ve noticed that they aren’t working correctly.
I have a Search Folder configured with “Custom Selection” , which includes four email accounts (all hosted on the same server).
Additionally, I’ve set up a “Has the words:” filter with two values: “text1, text2” .
I’ve noticed that only a dozen or so emails from one of the accounts are displayed, and the results seem completely random. We’re talking about a five-year period during which several hundred emails should match the criteria.
However, if I open that email account directly (in the left hand side accounts list) and enter the same search term (e.g., “text1”) in the Search field at the top of the screen, I get several hundred matching emails.
In the defined Search Folder , however, only a dozen or so appear. t makes no difference whether I create a new Search Folder or modify an existing one — the issue persists.
It makes no difference whether I create a new Search Folder or modify an existing one.
Interestingly, if I change the affected account to another account in the Search Folder configuration, the email list appears correctly. However, when I switch back to the original account, the list becomes extremely limited again.
I’ve already rebuilt the email search indexes twice . I did this by force-quitting the application and restarting it, which triggered the index repair process.
Unfortunately, the issue still persists.
