Mail and Big Sur - Small issue

Before Big Sur, if I entered a word in the search box, I would get results from the "ALL" mailbox. To clear the search box, all I had to do was click on any mailbox and then back to the "Incoming mailbox and the search box would empty itself

In Big Sur, I now have to go click on the X next to the search box to clear it.

Not a big issue but kind of annoying

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi 007Charlie,


Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other.


Seems with each update ... all the apps get more complex, and with finer controls.

The learning curve never stops!


I notice there is now a "Big Sur" Mail User Guide online:

(We can click on "Table of Contents" to check things out.)

This is the page on searching for e-mails:

If you want to send feedback to Apple, there's a web-page for that:
