Destination directory for draft messages in Apple Mail (Mountain Lion)

Hi,
Please could someone possibly tell me location of the Apple Mail draft messages directory.
I'm trying to restore these from Mountain Lion, but am unable to find the folder, where the messages are located.

  • How to auto-capitalize first word of a sentence in Apple Mail (Mountain Lion)?

    I've looked around and found a few posts which say this is not possible. I hope that becuase this is not too strenuous a piece of auto-correct functionality - and even works in iOS that it surely must be possible to get it to work on Mountain Lion Mail....
    I appreciate people will suggest learning to type. Thanks in advance for that. If anyone has genuine advice of how to solve this particularly irritating quirk, I would love to know.
    It's particularly annoying as I'm in the process of converting a long time Outlook for Mac user to Apple Mail - and this is one feature they have pointed out immediately. (As well as a 'Move To' search box that Apple doesn't have)

    I am also having this problem. Does anyone have an answer?
    I jus upgraded from Pages 4.3 and it's in Preferences. Not so in Pages 5.0.

  • Problem with unchecking secure sockets layer checkbox in outgoing SMTP server Apple Mail / Mountain Lion

    After installing Mountain Lion my mail was converted and all my messages showed up, however, when I try to send I get an error. I have traced this error to the fact that Apple has automatically checked the box "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)" in my Apple Mail preferences even though it wasn't checked before upgrading.  Now whenever I try to uncheck it it keeps filling itself back in.  I have tried to delete that outgoing server and readd it and it continues to check the box.

    Hi
    I have a similar problem here i have work accounts which do not need the SSL ticked but when I uncheck the box and in a  few seconds the tick is back up again sometimes I have to click about 10 times or so for it to stay off. I tried to do your sollution it did not work on your suggested port but seemed to work on the 25 port . Also I found i only have the problem when I am at work were we are on a PC network and firewall. It seemed to work fine on a normal home line. Also it only happens on Mountain Lion I have a older macbook with snowleopard and there i have not problems sending messages
    as right it was said Apple needs to look into that ASAP as it is very frustrating

  • Grey blank page for some messages since upgrading to mountain lion

    Just upgraded several days ago from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (10.8.3) and I have notice that some email messages (Apple Mail) I only get a blank grey page. I know I have a lot of messages in my mail account and wonder if that might be the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    Jerry

    I tried rebuild but it did not help. I still have a grey empty page on some messages. They usually part of a conversation, I tried to uncheck the "organize by conversation" but I still randomly have that problem. Sometimes if I quit and reopen Mail it goes away but other times it doesn't. Is it possible that having a large number of messages in the inbox might be responsible?

  • Apple mail mountain lion keeps needing to be restarted

    I have a new Macbook air with mountain lion installed. I have four Imap email accounts set up, three are gmail or google apps, one an opera fastmail account. If i leave the machine alone for a while all the account connections drop out and will only reconnect after mail has been quit and restarted.
    I guess a good place to start would be the log files - but where are they?

    The logs are here:
    About This Mac (under the Apple logo in the menu bar) > More Info > System Report > Logs (quite a way down, under Software)

  • HT1277 cannot find a way to install my OVI account in Apple mail (mountain lion)?

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion, now I cannot configure my OVI email account. Apple email configuration in Mountain Lion does not recognize the OVI mail as a Yahoo provided email address. It does recognized the fact that OVI is a Yahoo based address  in OS 5.1. Consequently setting up my OVI email address on my Ipad and I Phones has been no problem.
    I personally believe that this is a bug in the Mountain Lion software which needs to be corrected asap with an up date. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Searching Gmail messages in Apple Mail 8.0 and hiding All Mail

    As recommended by several tech sites, I enabled All Mail from my Gmail account to show in IMAP, and Apple Mail 8.0 created a new archive under the Trash icon named "All Mail (Google)". It took several hours to downloaded all my 63000 messages and they are now all stored there (based on the mailbox size in Library>Mail) but still show (as aliases I guess) in the respective mailboxes that I originally assigned them to.
    Now, when I search for a message in Apple Mail, it finds it but shows its location as in "All Mail" instead of the mailbox (or label) that I had assigned it to. Is there a way to hide the All Mail archive so that the search function does not look there first?
    I used to have All Mail disabled in IMAP, and the search worked as I wanted, but the issue was that all my 100 mailboxes had to be synchronized every time a message arrived, was deleted, or was moved from any Gmail mailbox. This means that it constantly cycled in the background through my mailboxes and new mail sound notifications were delayed until all mailboxes had been synced.
    Enabling All Mail to show in IMAP has solved the issue of constant syncing to all mailboxes, but it has introduced the problem with searching my mailbox. It has also meant that every new message that arrives is displayed both in the Inbox and in the All Mail, and I don't need the latter.
    I opened a ticket a year ago about the syncing issues to all mailboxes with bugreport at Apple, and nothing has been solved. Thanks for any help on how to hide the All Mail Google archive without disabling All Mail in IMAP, or any other workaround to search messages by mailbox without having syncing issues.

    Still having this issue and accidentally hit solved.

  • 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????

  • Removing corrupt messages in Apple Mail

    I have 6 identical messages in Apple Mail dating from 2006. I cannot delete them or move them. I've been told it is due to the messages being corrupted. OK. How do I get rid of them?

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • Empty messages in apple mail

    One of the email lists that I subscribe to frequently contains messages with images. It's a moderately high volume list with 20-30 messages per day. Inevitably, a few of those messages with attached images (according to the paperclip icon in the messages list) will arrive with no headers and no raw data. The display of the message in Apple Mail shows only the sender's name/address and the subject, nothing else such as the usual warning, "This message contains no content."
    The people who run the mailing list don't think that the problem is on their end so I am here asking whether this  is happening to anyone else and, if so, is there a way to correct it.

    Thanks to Linc Davis and dot.com for the replies.
    Here is some add'l info that may or may not shed light on this issue.
    I tried to follow Lin's suggestion to see if the message was intact in web view. Unfortunately, I was unable to find it. This is an Office 365 account. Apparently, messages are deleted as they are sent to my MaxOS X 10.10.1 account.  I could only find two messages for today when Apple Maile shows more than a100 incoming. Thus, I was unable to cross  check in this way.
    However, I was able to replace this issue o/s of the mailing list server and Office 365. What I did was log into my iCloud web account and use Pages to send an email with an ePub attachment. I sent his twice, once to my @me.com address and one to my Office 365 account.  The one sent to my iCloud account arrived intact. The one sent to my Office 365 account was empty – no attachment whatever. So this issue has to do with attachments as handled by Office 365.
    Unlike the previous cases, I was able to see both the Headers and Raw versions of the email.
    I see no clues in these data sets but include them here in case I have missed something. Here goes:

  • Blank messages in Apple Mail, only message header seen

    Blank messages in Apple Mail, only message header seen.
    But not all messages.. and not for mails from apple domain.
    I am using,
    1. OS X 10.6.8
    2. Mail Version 4.6 (1085)
    Tried all suggestions available in the web.
    Did not help..
    Any solution, thanks in advance.

    Nevermind, the problem fixed itself. I don't know what happened; I think I restarted my computer, and the problem was gone. Nevermind!

  • How can I always display duplicate email messages in Apple Mail?

    I would like to have Apple Mail ALWAYS display "duplicate" messages without having to click on the duplicates link in the upper right of the message. 
    Apple Mail identified a series of messages as "duplicates" when in fact they were not duplicates.  I would have otherwise missed out on very important information and the only reason I even knew to look for this was because I saw them on my iPhone.  I want to avoid this issue in the future.

    Comfortable with terminal...know how to edit using TextEdit:
    Open up a Terminal and use the following commands to change your Mail.app preferences file to an XML format – the default format is binary, and you can't edit this.
    cd ~/Library/Preferences
    plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.mail.plist
    Then, open this file com.apple.mail.plist with a text editor of your choice, preferably one that highlights XML syntax, but you can also use TextEdit:
    open -a "TextEdit" com.apple.mail.plist
    Now, look for the key called MailAccounts. It's value is an array, with dict children. Here, you'll find all your mail accounts in the order they were created in.
    You can now manually move these dict children around. Save the XML file and reopen Mail. Now, your Mail account order will be changed.

  • How can you dictate messages in Apple Mail

    Is it possible to dictate messages in Apple Mail (MacAir)? Is there an app that can enable this if not available by default?

    Mountain Lion includes Dictation, so you can use it pressing Fn key twice. If you have Lion, you can install Dragon > http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/dragon-for-mac/index.htm

  • How do I find duplicate messages in Apple Mail?

    Hi,
    How do I find (and delete) duplicate messages in Apple Mail ?
    I will have to verify about 1000 messages in different mailboxes, all in Apple Mail.
    My system: Mail 4.5 (1084) and Leopard 10.6.8.
    Many thanks,
    D.M.

    in any window on a mac, if you just type a letter on the keyboard, the selection in that window will go to a file beginning with that name.   In Eudora, if mail window was sorted by NAME and you typed "E" the selection would move to the last email received from a person who's NAME began with "E",  if you typed "El" it would move to the most recent email received from a person named "El"  if you typed "Ela"  the selection would move to the most recent email received from a person named "Ela".   If mail was sorted by SUBJECT, it would move to the SUBJECT with those same beginning letters.   In mac mail the selection doesn't pick the most recent email, but a completely random one, and it doesn't differentiate between subjects and senders.   If I type "josh" it goes to an email with subject: josh, from 2011, not the most recent email from my friend josh that I got yesterday, even though I have my mail sorted by name.   If I type "Karen", selection moves to an email received from Karen in 2010, not the one I received 2 weeks ago.    In other words, it's completely random and useless. 
    only way to find something in macmail is to type a name into search box, then organize by name, then scroll to that name, only sometimes those name emails are not sorted by date, so you have to look through to find the most recent one.  then once you found it, you need to delete what's in the search box, and reset the sortation to be by date in order to have a chronological listing of you emails.  In other words, many complicated steps instead of one simple one.
