RE: find a message problem

Hey:
I don't think the Find a message or the Edit - Find a message are working for me any more. Just tried Find a message for the following "0x800CCC0F" and it did not find any messages when it should have at least found these 2: news:OvrgfwFXIHA.4272@xxxxxx
What is even worse is that it gives the option to Search all newsgroups and when I selected that it went into heavy usage for awhile, then shut down WLM and a Compose window that I had open at the time with no error report. When I restarted WLM, it seemed ok, no added Recovered folders, seems a little more sluggish. Guess I'll try resetting the Quick links again.

Hey dwolf:
I just got it! You don't need the Edit - Find message [Ctrl Shift F] to search for e-mail messages. [Mine seems to be grayed out most of the time in Quick views which is probably another bug, of many in Quick views. When you do get the search pane if you first select an e-mail account or folder, it takes two Find Now tries to actually find anything, which may also be another new bug]. Just below the tool bar or near the top of the page should be a box with 'Find a message' in it. If you enter your search letter, word or phrase in it, the message headers for the messages with matches will show in the message header pane.
However, you can probably use the Edit - Find - Message if you hit Find Now twice, it does have a lot more options in the find pane.

We also need the Operating System you're running. The quick views broke as soon as I started using the latest release. Most of my quick views only show the latest few days activity, all others don't show up and "Find a message" WONT! Here is a link to similar problems:
<news:62DFA7BE-F505-468D-8C0E-CF6CA1398694@xxxxxx>
You should be able to 'Find a message' in the newsgroup mode.

that I'm having this problem too. I uninstalled/reinstalled WLM 1606 to see
if it'd fix it, but the issue is still there. :-/

Is your Ctrl-e Find doing any better? <eg>

FWIW using that one just proves that my WDS still isn't helping the way I thought
it should. E.g. it only finds 2 messages, both really old, the only ones which have
that string in their Subject text.

In contrast Ctrl-Shift-F found 13 messages for me (oldest is a reply by Norman
on 2007-11-08 which the Ctrl-e Find does include.)


BTW how is that you sometimes end up creating replies without any References
header. E.g. this one showed up unwatched in a Watched thread and subsequent
inspection shows that there is no References header even though it should be
a reply to

Message-ID: <792A4CC9-1ED6-4F15-BE9A-58300CF119C0@xxxxxx>

Oh, I see! You were replying to yourself, so you probably created your reply
from Outbox or Sent Items? In either case you don't have a Message-ID
so a References header is not generated. Hmm... but that did have
References so the reply from a non-newsgroup source *could* have been
threaded to at least the same level as the original... another deficiency WLMail
inherited from OE... ; }

I'm sorry you haven't got it working properly yet. It doesn't look as if
your messages are indexed, so here are a few things to check:

Hi Robert:
Find a message [Ctrl+e] or the Edit - Find a message [Ctrl+Shift+F] no joy, even with fixing Quick views.

What is even worse is that it gives the option to Search all newsgroups and when I selected that it went into heavy usage for awhile, then shut down WLM and a Compose window that I had open at the time with no error report. When I restarted WLM, it seemed ok, no added Recovered folders, seems a little more sluggish.
I tried resetting the newsgroup again, no help.

Fortunately, I remembered I was only downloading headers so when I reset and marked them all as read, the bodies didn't get download except for those that I actually read.

Your FWIW doesn't match my results, with either Find a message, I only get your 2 oldest messages plus 4 other even older plus 2 that I have added lately and Ctrl+Shift+F only gets those if the 0x800CCC0F is in the Subject line. It does find the current ones that I mentioned earlier plus 6 others from Jan. if the search is in message, but if I put the search string in both header and message, it only returns 1 candidate.
I think indexing is not operational on this system, I really don't want to activate it since I've avoided it up to now and the Find was working way better 2 weeks ago.

On the BTW, Sorry, I wanted to indicate a new Question for this one, but I don't get a categorize on the Actions drop down list when I Reply to Group. So I started with a new message, but stuck all the old stuff in it and categorized it as a Question. Didn't think about how that would affect the Message ID and References header, sorry about that.
BTW I wonder if there is a header problem so some watched conversations are not all highlighted? In this thread, only my posts, yours and Noel's are highlighted as watched.

Hi mikebs, I get 16 messages in 5 threads when I search (Find a
Message) "0x800CCC0F" in this newsgroup back to November 2007. You
indicated that you are only downloading headers though, so when you 'Find
a message' search, you can't find anything in a message body that you have
not downloaded! This is why I download all message bodies in this
newsgroup. You indicated that you reset your newsgroups "again", so I am
guessing you lost your message bodies when you first did that.

Yes Peter, but after I reset, and thought about it awhile, I switched to synchronize all messages in this account and hit the synchronize account button, which downloaded for quite awhile [I watched the progress], so now I have 4500 messages, back to mid October. Now I just tried again both ways [Ctrl_e and Ctrl+Shift+F] and they both only gave me the 2 older ones from Nov. 08. I've been getting different results in several combinations even since I did all this.
