Apple Mail (Mavericks)

Is anyone having trouble with Apple Mail (Mavericks)? It has suddenly stopped sending/receiving iCloud mail. (Gmail, Yahoo Mail are working.)

Hi Stephen,
If you are having issues with Mail in Mavericks, you may want to make sure you have updated to the most recent release. You may find the following article helpful:

Apple Mail (Mavericks), Viewing size of list is too small.how do you increase the size of the email message list. The font is too small, I can hardly read them.

In Apple Mail, using Mavericks, how do you increase the size of the email message list that displays on the left side of the screen?
The font size is so small.
Thanks.

Thank you for responding. After investigating and checking further, it was clear that only one of your suggestions changes the font size of the list of emails, also called the In-box. And that is the display resolution.
However, changing the display resolution affects the dots per inch of everything, everywhere and makes it larger.
Given the high end fee Apple charges for their products, and the generally well developed software they provide, it is hard to imagine they have not corrected this obvious slight of effort on the inbox text. At times Apple's "one-size-fits-all" and "it's our way or no way" mentality astounds me and makes me want to run back to Microsoft.
Evidently this is a well known mistake, which has yet to receive any attention.
Again, thank you for your effort and assistance on my behalf.

How do I disable automatic hyperlinking in Apple Mail, Mavericks?

I typed the text of an email address with 'at' instead of @ and the remainder of the email address. I expected it to appear as all text but part of it came out as a link (I did not set it as a link) which linked to my website which I did not want. I just wanted the text to appear and I have tried several ways to disable this automatic feature without success. One suggestion was to disable smart links via the edit menu but this did not prevent the auto link thing happening. Help please.

I see what you mean. You can send an email with a web address that is not a link in your Mail body, and it arrives as though you had made the link active before sending. My original response should have suppressed this behavior, and appears to do so before the Mail is sent. I find no Mail Preference, or menu setting that can prevent this automatic link activation behavior after pressing the send button.

Apple Mail keeps crashing since Mavericks install

Can someone please advise - ever since I upgraded to Mavericks mail crashes. I open Mail (I have 2 apple mail accounts) and it loads my messages. As soon as I click on a message the app crashes. I've sent numerous reports and have to log in through Chrome or Safari which is really really annoying. Please help!!!

Hi!
I fixed my mail app crash issue as below
1) Go to ~/Library/Mail/ (By right click at finder and choose "Go to Folder..." then type "~/Library/Mail/"
2) Back up ~/Library/Mail/V2 folder for your mailboxes.
3) Relaunch Mail
4) Sync all your e-mails again
5) If your old mail (only in local) is needed, import your back up mailbox. (Mail->File->Import Mailboxes)
By the way, "defaults delete com.apple.mail ColorQuoterColorList" didn't work out for me.
Have a nice day!!

Apple Mail opens and closes right away since migrated to Mavericks

Hello all,
Could you please give me some safe and not too complicated solutions to solve this :
Yesterday I migrated to os x Mavericks => Everything works fine except MAIL application (I work with 1 gmail account)
Problem : I click the incon, Mail app opens bu closes immediatly followed by an error message saying :
" Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSSetM addObject:]: object cannot be nil'
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException ".
For your information, when going to gmail account from the web, the mailbox works. So it doesn't come from Google.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Solution from linc davies - Perfect
Quit Mail.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. Move the following items from the folder that opens to the Trash (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.mail
Saved Application State/com.apple.mail.savedState
Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
Containers/com.apple.mail
Mail
Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Preferences/com.apple.mail.searchhistory.plist
Note: you are not moving the Mail application. You’re moving a folder named “Mail.”

Apple Mail has gone completely screwy since Mavericks upgrade

Hi everyone...
I truly feel like crying. I upgraded to Mavericks on both my main desktop and also my laptop and it seems that all of my mail on both the Desktop and the laptop has gone completely topsy turvy in Apple Mail. It seems like a lot of my messages are being routed in a completely different way! And most of them are simply disappearing to goodness knows where!
Why on earth when I send a message to my home email address at **@att.net does it land up in my Gmail Archived folder under one of Gmail's All Mail folders (for one of my Gmail accounts) even tho' I did NOT send to a Gmail account?
So many strange things are happening! And most of them are concering this "Archive" folder for Gmail.....SO MANY of my emails are being dumped into those Gmail ALL Mail folders when they were not even addressed to a Gmail account!! This is happening on both my laptop AND my main desktop...so I know that it is not just on one of the stations.
Also, I have been getting notifications on my phone of LOTS of messages that have been sent my way but they are not appearing in my mail app...and when I search for them I cannot find them...as if these messages have just vanished!
I cannot have this happen because I am now missing out on all of my work emails!
I have been sending a bunch of test messages to my **@chgraphicdesigns.com.account and I will see the message pop into the INBOX for just a second and then suddenly disappear. I am not able to find these test messages by doing a search for them either. What has happened to them?? I am now missing a TON of work emails I received earlier today...I had seen notification of them popping in throughout the day but was going to attend to them later due to a huge project I was working on...but now those emails are nowehere to be found!
I turned off Mail and tried out Thunderbird and that is working PERFECTLY, so it is just Apple Mail that is having all of these issues. This is just awful:(( It is so messed up I literally want to cry. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thank you so much for your help in advance:)

I have managed to restore many of my emails from Time Machine, manually re-created many of my original mailboxes and re-populated them with the restored mail messages but after doing so I discovered another bug with the latest version of the Mavericks/Mail combo. The bug that I am experiencing is that some of the emails in my folders are "invisible" when I open the folder and can only be located using a spotlight search within that mailbox for a term that occurs within the "invisible" email, at which time the previously "invisible" email is viewable but only in the results that the Spotlight search brought up. When I close the Spotlight results, the email goes back to being "invisible" again in the mailbox from which it is identified as having come from. I know that Spotlight ios not pulling it from some other mailbox that I might have accidentally placed it in, as Spotlight's search results indicate which mailbox the message was found in. I never would have discovered this bug if it weren't for the fact that I was trying to locate a message that I knew to exist because I had previously printed a hard copy. The date shown on my hard copy was non-existent on any messages in the mailbox unless I did a spotlight search for unique phrases in it, at which time it showed up. Has anyone else noticed this problem happening to them?

Apple mail freezes constantly under Mavericks

Every since I upgraded to Mavericks last year, Apple Mail constantly freezes. It opens, I generally can get mail, but if I leave it open for a bit, it either stops receiving mail or when I try to send an email it freezes. The only way out is to force quit, and most times the only way to get it to work again is to restart. This does not happen on my wife's account so it appears not to be a system wide problem. I did try a few suggestions posted on here in the past and got some temporary relief, but problem still persists. Have considered trying to migrate my admin account to a new desktop account to see if that helps, but haven't had the time (and could use some good instructions for moving things). Don't want to upgrade to Yosemite as need to use some programs that aren't capatible.
My system is a MacPro, with 8BG RAM, OS 10.9.5. Also, use Suitcase and most of the Adobe Creative Suite quite often. Have noticed that freezing often increases if I leave an Adobe program open while Mail is open. Wondering if a font could be a culprit??
Any suggestions appreciated

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Apple Mail Not Showing Inbox Unread Count on Dock after installing Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, my Apple Mail (connected to my work's Gmail account) stopped showing the Inbox's unread count on the dock. I switched it to "all mailboxes" to see if that would make a difference, and the dock shows 7 unread emails when there are actually none. When I switch it back to "Inbox" unread counts, it shows nothing. I've waited 15 minutes after receiving an email to see if it will show an unread message in the dock, but it does not. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thank you!

Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:
mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop
This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop. An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later). Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer.
After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.

Can't send document to Apple Mail after upgrading to Maverick

Hello,
When I in iWork '09 try to send a document to Apple Mail as an attachment, I get an error message that says "iWork encountered an error while attempting to create the attachment data", I get the same message wether I select "Pages", "Word" or "PDF".
I get the same message in Pages and in Numbers. It started after I upgraded to Maverick.
I copied this from the console:
2014-05-11 19:37:27,587 Pages[234]: -[NSFileWrapper setContentID:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xc74d4c0
2014-05-11 19:37:27,587 Pages[234]: Caught the following exception while trying to send to mail.
-[NSFileWrapper setContentID:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xc74d4c0
Help would be appreciated.

Hello Fruhilda!
It seems that my problem is resolved. My version was 4.1 and App Store didn't show any updates. But after som searching I found out that there was an iWork 9.3 update which I downloaded and installed. After the update the version was 4.3 and I was able to send documents to Apple Mail.

How do I remove Apple Mail app from the dock on my Macbook Air, Maverick version?!?

I am using OS X version 10.9.2 (Maverick). The Apple Mail app is frozen and stuck on my dock. How do I remove it?!? The icon is active (light below) but I have quit the application. Also, I cannot open the application anymore either (I click to open, but nothing happens). Help!

I just tried trashing everything in the Mail package contents and restarting my Air. However, it says that Mail has cancelled restart and that I should try quitting Mail (which I have done, multiple times)..... Please help!

View Duplicate Messages in Apple Mail 7.3 in Mavericks

Hello,
Up till at least OS X Lion, if there were duplicate email messages, there would be a blue link in the header of the message in Apple Mail that you could click on to reveal the duplicate messages.
Im currently running Mavericks and Apple Mail 7.3.
By default, there no longer seems to be any indication that there are duplicate messages?? Is that correct???
I have found the Terminal commands that will allow me to "ungroup" duplicate messages:
To disable automatic grouping of duplicate messages, quit Mail then run this command in Terminal:
          defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
To revert to the default setting, run this command:
     defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool false
or simply delete the setting altogether with this command:
          defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
If you want to see how Mail behaves with this setting enabled, but without modifying your preference file, start Mail from Terminal with this command:
          /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail -AlwaysShowDuplicates YES
These seem to work fine as far as listing the duplicate messages in the message list.
HOWEVER . . .
What I am wondering is . .
Is there no way to leave the duplicates "grouped" so there is only single entry in the message list BUT have the link in the header that indicates that there are duplicates and allow you to click on that link to reveal the duplicates in the message list???    I find having the link in the header easier to work with rather than having ALL of the duplicates ungrouped in the message list.
ALSO - for what it's worth:
I also tried setting the "Show Header Detail" option in Mail Preferences to "Custom" which includes an entry called "Duplicates" in the list of times displayed in the custom header but I still do not get any indication (that I can see) that there are duplicate messages . . .
Any ideas or experience with this????

Apple Mail crashing after Mavericks install

Can someone please advise - ever since I upgraded to Mavericks mail crashes. I open Mail (I have 2 apple mail accounts) and it loads my messages. As soon as I click on a message the app crashes. I've sent numerous reports and have to log in through Chrome or Safari which is really really annoying. Please help!!!
Also I don't want to go into Terminal - it makes me nervous - so if anyone has any other tips it would be great. Apple please do an update on this.

I picked up this hint from a similar thread which provides for a little releif. I have three accounts: iCloud, personal Time Warner POP, business IMAP. If I only have iCloud active everything is great. If I try to make an additional account active ( doesn't matter whether it's the POP account or the IMAP ), the Viewer Window in Mail will become unresponsive. [ Keep in Mind that Mail is still running, but you can't see it because everything has locked up. It's almost as if your were clicking on a screen shot. However, you can tell that Mail is still running because the menu's are still working.]
If I activate both my POP and IMAP, everything is great - - - - as long as I don't activate the iCloud account. Since I get my iCloud mail on both my iPad and iPhone, I can live without it being on my MacBook until Apple gets a fix out. Obviously, my business IMAP is most crucial for me.
Here's the procedure: QUIT Mail. Open System Preferences and click on the "Internet Accounts" preference pane. Next, select each email account on the list and either uncheck the "Mail" icon box, or uncheck the "Enable this account" box. Do this for each account. Close System Preferences.
Next: Launch Mail. You will see what looks like a standard mail account without any content. No worries. Select the "Mail" menu and choose "Preferences". Click on the "Accounts" tab. Click on each account and check the "Enable this account" box. You will see your content reload. You won't see your iCloud account in the list. If all you want is iCloud mail, then DO NOT activate any of the other accounts and instead go back to System Preferences/Internet Accounts and check the Mail icon box for iCloud.
I only have two non-iCloud accounts, so I don't know what will happen if you have 3 or more accounts. Let us know what you find out.
I am functional for now. Things seem to be stabile for the moment. I will let you know if things change.

Cannot get Apple Mail to work on Mavericks - Synching not working intermittently with Gmail account

Like many others, I am having issues with Apple Mail on Mavericks. I have a gmail account and an account that uses IMAP on godaddy domain. When I do things on my Macbook, they are more or less OK although sometimes there is a delay when deleting mail and having it synch up with my other devices. However, if I go to my iphone and go thru my mail and then go to my macbook in the evening, i am finding that all of my mail is showing up like I never looked at it before. All mail is showing up unread, deleted e-mails are in my inbox, etc. I installed the mavericks update for mail last week, and still things are not working. I really need some help in resolving this issue. I expect this kind of stuff from Windows OS upgrades...not Apple

Apple mail    fonts window disappears   Mavericks

I am using OSX 10.9.5    ...., Apple Mail   version 7.3 1878.6
I usually leave the Fonts window open.   In the last month it has started disappearing without me requesting that it disappear.
Any suggestions ?

It's been a while since I used Mavericks, but I believe in the New Message window, there is an icon at the bottom left of a new message window which allows you to customized the fields. Once open, there should be a box there to show or hide the signature field. If not, try right clicking on it for a customize window.
Mail (Mavericks): Customize a message header
When you write a message, choose which fields to include in the header.
In the New Message window, click the Customize pop-up menu (it has horizontal lines on it) in the lower-left corner of the header area, then choose Customize.
Select the items to include, then click OK.Some items are shown only when they’re valid. For example, the Signature checkbox appears only if you have a signature.

Gmail no longer pushes new messages to Apple Mail in Mavericks

I Googled [gmail push Mavericks OR 10.9 "use idle command"], and restricted results to the last year; absolutely nothing came up, so I decided to post this:
Gmail seems to no longer push email to Apple Mail in Mavericks—at least for me.
In OS 10.8 and before, enabling "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" caused Gmail to instantly push new emails to Apple Mail. No longer.
With the new "Check for new messages Automatically" option, new messages aren't coming in at all, or with severe delays (I don't recall which). When I change it to "Check for new messages Every minute," it checks every minute, which is okay, but not what I had in previous OSs: instant pushing of new messages.
Has anyone managed to solve this problem?
Or does anyone at least know what's causing the problem, and whether it's potentially fixable?

Nevermind. I am blind as a bat. I found the answer. There's an option under VIEWING in the preferences for Display unread messages with boldl font. I don't know why that is unchecked.
