Body: <p>We've recently installed CiviCRM 4.6.6 and we're on WordPress 4.3. I'm experiencing the same issues as shown in this thread: <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/3581/civimail-mailing-unable-to-select-group-getting-error-of-no-recipients">CiviMail Mailing - Unable to select group, getting error of No recipients</a>
  When I go into New Mailing, No Recipients shows up on the right. I can't enter email addresses, I can't select a group, I'm stuck. If I use Search and select a group, and pick the Action to Send a Mass Mailing, the Mail screen has Recipients = Search Results, but still says No Recipients. I'm stuck. Since Mail won't work Debug and Backtrace can't either. I don't know what Ajax is, I'm not that techie. We're on DreamHost, no cpanel, but I can use FTP. Send Mail works and there's no one opted out or anything in my test group. This looks like a bug that's been around for a few months? How can I fix this??? Thanks, in advance...jim</p>

On the Define Mailing screen, the groups don't show up when you click on the drop down arrow for the Recipients field. And it says No Recipients off to the right. What should I do???

Comments.Text: Do your test contacts have on hold, do not email or bulk opt out set? **NO** Are their email addresses primary (they should be if they only have one each)? **YES** Is the group smart? **NO** One of the two email addresses is bad, so I could test that. I also tried entering the good email address directly into the Recipients field on the New Mailing screen. It'll let me type in the address but when I hit Tab it goes away. It says No Recipients off to the right, all the time. Thanks for your help!

Comments.Text: Okay, you can't enter email address directly onto the Recipients field, you can only select the groups. So, can you perform some test steps here - create a test group (`Contact -> New Group`), check the Mailing list checkbox for `Group Type` field, Add some contacts (with valid email) in this group. Then check whether you can able to see this in `New Mailing` ?

Comments.Text: OMG, I thought you found the problem...the Mailing checkbox was not set for any of my groups. (seems like default should be yes-checked). I turned the Mailing checked on for all my groups (Donor, Media, Volunteer, Test email group). I went into New Mailing and now the groups show up in the dropdown. Unfortunately, I can select all the groups and it estimates No Recipients?! That's over 1000 email addresses. The vast majority of them are valid.

Comments.Text: This doesn't seems to be a bug to me, as i can successfully select groups on the standard demo server http://d46.demo.civicrm.org. Don't you see any contacts after selecting the test group you've created above ?

Comments.Text: I changed my Test Email Group to include three valid addresses. I got rid of the bad address. I've studied all three records...my own and two friends. No one in the database is opted out yet or anything like that. I clicked on the little wrench next to the Recipients field in New Mailing. Dedupe by email is checked and the other fields are Automatic. I tried changing these settings to no avail. When I imported the 11,500+ contacts, it defaulted to Home and I left it that way. Thanks for your help!
