Some email images do not show while using the icloud web app. I can see the images on my IOS devices and in gmail but I only see a small gray box in the icloud web mail app. Load HTML images is checked in preferences.

I've seen the opposite issue. My wife recieved an email with jpg attachments. She couldn't see or print them on her iPhone 4S but they showed up fine in iCloud or in the mail app. I had her forward the email to herself and then they showed up. I assume there is an issue with how Apple is processing the attachments and resending causes them to get reformatted in a way that makes them easier to handle.
So yeah. Seems like some bugs. Hope Apple fixes them soon.

Cannot add a gmail account to mail

My new Macbook Pro 13" laptop arrived the other day and I have not been able to add my gmail account to mail (other mail providers have worked - outlook etc).
I used an application specific password (as I had 2fa enabled) and then I disabled 2fa and tried my normal password. The following happened on both instances.
I select 'Google', type my gmail address into the correct field and my password into the correct field. As soon as I press 'Set Up' both fields clear. I re-enter the information and try again, both fields clear upon pressing 'Set Up'. No error messages or anything.
Please help, what am I doing wrong? Like I said, I've successfully added other accounts. It just seems to be gmail.

Copy the forwarding and privacy settings in the account that worked on your primary account. Start by making sure IMAP is enabled.

Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem. As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS. I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock. Thanks again for trying.

Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally?

I hope I'm submitting this properly, I apologize if this irritates anyone because of improper etiquette. Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally? This is a condition which seemed to start just recently and abruptly. These applications reside on, and are launched from the startup drive, not from a network drive. Also, we have a NAS drive on the LAN that we connect to that also takes a minute or two to mount, when it used to (before this problem) mount on the desktop in a matter of about 5 seconds. We have three identical Mac Pros on the LAN, and they all have this problem when launching and using the above mentioned applications. When I physically unplug the network cable from the Mac, all applications launch instantly and function normally. I know very little about networks, so I can't begin to test or change any setting pertaining to our network - if that is where the problem lies. The only recent change to our network situation is that we lost or our internet and phone service due to massive flooding here in Minot, North Dakota (our ISP tells us the communication lines are under water and shorting out). But shouldn't our LAN still function even though we have lost our connection to the outside world? Thanks so much, in advance, for helping me solve this problem. Sheldon.

Hi there.
A slow LAN can have many things so its going slow.
1) is your lan 1gbit speed? (full duplex)
2) are the macs also 1Gbit speed? (full duplex)
3) does your nas has a firewall? (so you can see what the mac asking there)
4) on the macs is the firewall on? (does the programms can pass the fw?)
5) how big is the nas and how many files/dirctorys are on the nas? (big folders speeds down )
many questions, but sometimes there is a solution.
regards tim

When I am viewing the latest message in a conversation in Mail in the preview and want to reply, I hit reply and it does not include the latest message? I have to double click the latest message to open it and then reply. I find this irritating and would like to skip this step and be able to reply from preview and include that message. Am I missing a setting to fix this?

I have found that if you have highlighted some text in the message and then hit reply, the highlighted section is the only bit included in the reply. You need to click on the message in the middle list rather than the preview pain on the righthand side and it should reply normally. To check it's doing this, select a message in the middle section of the screnn then use the down arrow to drop to the next message. Hit reply, and it should reply normally. I hope this helps.

Can't add a new account to mail

Hello all,
Hope to get some help with this annoying and frustrating situation.
I need to create a gmail account in mail v4.5 because I'll be moving from my current location and prefer not to have to access gamil through safari.
I am prevented to get the new account to be online, no matter how many times I try to do this.
First there was an issue with mail not being able to verify gmail's certificate; I thought I overcame this by clickung on view certificate aan accepting it.
Then, all gmail account settings settings were input following gamil help pages; whether I set the account to be an IMAP (as recommended by gmail) or a POP account, mail could not get the account online: it keeps being offline.
I deleted the account just created and created a new one with the same result.
Mail gives me this alert: Logging in to the Gmail IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages.
Both user name and password are correct, but useless. Nevertheless, I click on "continue" and the result is the same.
There is no problem with network; I can get online with safari, and firefox.
I just don't know what to do, and no help from google is possible, at least not for this issue; help for gmail through a browser is plentiful though, but trying to ask something that is not on the menu as set by google is totally impossible.
Does anyone have a solution?
I'll be very thankful for any help I can get.
Regards

Yes, you do. But you can't access them until after you first setup the account; then you get to select Mail's Preferences->Accounts->Account Information tab and use the 'Server Settings…' button to set those options. Here's a screen shot of that window:
It is sort of a vicious circle as I cannot actually setup the account completely. Nevertheless, I insisted and these are screenshots of what mail shows:
Account information is the same as shown on my previous response screenshots: POP
As you can see, I used the default ports, but the final result was exactly the same: gmail does not go online.
(BTW, I don't know why 2 gmail accounts are shown when there is only one I want to activate: I keep deleting those which do not work.)
When I try to send a message using gmail, I get the "Enter password for account...", I check "Remember this password in my keychain", click OK, and get the same again and agin; gmail stays offline.
This I read on Mail Help:
If the mail server rejects your user name and password
There can be several reasons why your user name and password aren’t accepted by a mail server.
Try these solutions:
Make sure you’re typing your mail account password, and not your Mac OS X user account password or email service provider password (if these passwords are different).
Passwords are case-sensitive. Make sure you’re entering uppercase and lowercase characters where needed.
Verify your account name and password in Mail preferences (choose Mail > Preferences and click Accounts). If your email service provider offers web mail (email access via a web browser), try using your account name and password to access web mail. If your account name and password look correct but you can’t access web mail using them, or you don’t have web mail, contact your provider to confirm the information.
I can access gmail from a browser with the same password I use in trying to set up gmail on mail, so this is not the problem.
What about the cerrtificate whose identity mail cannot verify?
Could it possibly be related to a problem with the OS in my computer?
Possibly, but without knowing what those problems were, I couldn't say with any degree of accuracy.
computer boot time too long: over 50 seconds for the apple logo to show up, then another 10 seconds for the wheel to spin; total time about 1 minute 50 seconds; this doesn't happen when booting from an external FW HD
sleep does not start when i click it; must click up to 3 times for the computer to go to sleep
mail notifications, and other default actions set by me —such as ignore when a blank CD is inserted— do not respond
beach ball spin in many applications, sometimes even in Finder; I've installed more memory a bout a week ago to a total of 8GB but beachball still happens as if nothing had changed
fonts settings keep changing; followed Kurt Lang's recommendations for keeping fonts to the minimum OS X requires, plus some that I want to use; I get them all back on
some folders disappeared
I get "recovered file folders" after starting a new session
these conditions happen with my account and with a guest account
an over 50GB folder that I had to copy from the internal to the external FW HD on one occasion (because a back up of the internal HD would have replicated the problems on the external) gave me a totally empty folder after about one hour spent "copying" nothing at all.
I removed Mail and all its associated files, and reinstalled it from the install DVD.
Don't do that. It will not solve any problem, but it will take lots of time.
OK, in the future.
I don't have any further information you may need.
Again, thank you so much.

I tried holding down the shift key when opening Safari, and I still get the Apple homepage instead of the one I previously selected in Safari Preferences. I also set the two boxes above my selected homepage setting, with the same result.

I am also getting the "getadblock.com" every time I open Safari...it opens to that window and then downloads an adblock extension, which I do not want.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferencees then select the Extensions tab.
Uninstall the getadblock extension.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If you launch Safari with the Shift key depressed and it doesn't open the General tab...
Might be corrupted Safari preferences ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

HT2500 Adding me mobileme account to mail will not work because it does not accept the password but works on iphone and ipad?

I am attempting to add my mobile me account to mail on my iMac. The first step is to give the email address and the password. For some reason it does not recognize the password. It is the some password used on iphone and ipad and logging on to me.com

Hello,
The problem isn't really the Password, but the default Servers if you choose MobileMe for account type.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

I have several different gmail accounts on mac mail and even when I send from one specific one by selecting it (and setting it as default!) mail gets returned to various different addresses. It seems to swich between them??

Switching between servers and accounts on mail.

It's possible that you have a problem with some outgoing servers and it's just moving through the list until it finds a working one. It will do this if you not have specific SMTP servers locked to each account?
Open Mail's preferences. Select an account and make sure it has the correct SMTP server listed. Also check the login and password for it to make sure it's correct. Check the box to use only that server for that account. Repeat this for all accounts making sure the server login and information are correct.
If an outgoing server fails in the future, you will ger a failure window asking to select another server or try again with the one chosen for that account.
You can also open connection doctor from Mail's main menu (under Window) and run the test. You should have incoming and outgoing servers listed for each account. It will tell you which are working and which aren't. You may also have intermittent failures. Run the test several times.
If this doesn't work, post back more info.
