Mail 5: Having Trouble not Organizing by Conversation: Annoying

On Mail 5, we have the option of organizing by conversation or not--apparently. I typically don't want mail organized by conversation. So, I tell Mail not to organize in this way. Pretty quickly Bill Gates apparently has turned organize by conversation back on. How can I keep Bill from doing so?

I have about a jillion mailboxes. I took a quick sample, and I think that all my boxes currently are set not to organize by conversation. What has occurred is that I often find my inbox reset to organize by conversation, and, at that point, I set it not to do so again. Pretty soon, but I don't know quite how soon, I find that it again is reset to organize by conversation. I haven't observed closely enough to see if these Bill-Gates changes are systematic. I don't think they are related to restarting since I do so infrequently. I'll work, actually fiddle around, as I usually do for a while and see if I can see a pattern. I'll get back to you if I see one. And, I'll consider your possible solution.
Thanks much again.

  • FDM mail app - having trouble compiling 1.6 anyone have 1.6 package??

    Hi... sorry to be writing about fdm again.
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7806
    I'm having trouble getting 1.6 installed.
    I'm still hoping that the bug fixes in the recently release update for tdb might spark an ARCH version of fdm 1.6.
    I need fdm 1.6 as the current version 1.4-1 does some weird things with gmail and it's about 16 moths old. There's been a version 1.6 since xmas.
    Anyways, sorry to be wimpering.
    Anyone have a 1.6 working?

    I can now use ABS well enough.
    Noticed the bug repor and now that  tdb has just been updated, and, I assume the bug is gone... I'm wondering:
    - should I wait for new version 1.6 to show up?
    - If anyone has a PKGBUILD for 1.6 that will work just lke it will when the package is updated to 1.6 and in AUR.
    I think that if I were to just download the package and install I'd not only lose the pacman sync ability (wouldn't I?) and that also the locations for the files would be a bit off, and then there's that tip  I got (thanks!) about "make -j1".
    hmmm... really need the 1.6 bug fixes.
    Of course, there's lots else to do.... and I'm very patient...! hehehe
    Just loving mutt and looking forward to fdm 1.6
    um, obviously!

  • Mail now having trouble with exchange server

    Hi There,
    We use a hosted exhange server for email which has been working fine for the last year but all of a sudden we seem to be having issues copnnecting - Mail just sits there with the spining animation and the Activity window displaying a variety of messages such as:
    "Syncing Inbox"
    "Requesting latest information"
    "Traversing mailbox hierarchy"
    "Adding messages"
    I've talked to our provider and they say nothing's changed their end but we're seeing this issue several times a day accross both 10.7 and 10.6 macs and in different locations (work, home and when traveling).
    Normally a restart will fix the issue but I know have a Mac that is just stuck - and a restart doesn't work.
    Does anyone know how I might trouble shoot this issue and how I can help our provider to understand what might be happening on the Mac side?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    So it looks like the issue was an untrusted certificate as overnight, all my email is back.
    However, any messages that came in during that time can't be filed or even deleted - I see this error:
    The message “Re:message subject"” could not be moved to the mailbox “Actioned — [email protected]”
    An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Actioned — [email protected]”
    Does any one know what the problem might be?
    Cheers
    Ben

  • Most of the time when I try to go to AOL mail, I get this message: ZOIDS! ERROR 8 C0FE180D Report ID: 30580-mail-20111110-134054 Problem loading application Uh-oh! Mail's having trouble loading. Sorry for the delay! Click here to try again.

    If mail continues to get hung up, click here to sign into the Basic version. Basic delivers a great mail experience on slower Internet connections, such as dial-up.
    Plus along with that message there is the picture of the weird looking doll made of wires and stuff. Is there a way to fix this? I like Firefox, but cannot continue trying to use it if I cannot get my mail. Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for your help. Under Firefox I went to history, cleared that, then I could access my email.

  • Virus??? computer having trouble connecting to internet

    Last week, my son's school computer got a virus, and sent me about 50 copies of the same email message. Since then, things have not been working properly on my macbook. Safari is telling me it can't connect to the internet, even though the network diagnostic tool tells me there is no problem. Mail is having trouble connecting too, and my idisk is suddenly inaccessible. I wanted to restore to a previously saved backup of my personal settings that I have been saving to my idisk but backup said it couldn't connect to the idisk. Backup also gave me a scary message when I had no choice but to abort the "restore".
    I've seen lots of messages here claiming that there are no mac viruses, but if that is the case, what could be going on here? I already rebooted several times, and repaired permissions on the hard drive. any other suggestions???

    Hey, Mort, thanks. I did find clamxav last night on the web and left it running this morning (I'm at work now.) So we'll see what it has or has not found when I get home later. It didn't allow me to just run the software on my whole hard drive, though, I had to choose folders. I chose the system and library. Do you have any other ideas about where the virus (if it is a virus) could be living?
    I'm not sure if my system has been updated. I run "software update" once a week so perhaps it has already happened. I'll check tonight.

  • Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent.

    I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent. When sending an email, Mail apparently works for a while but does'nt sent anything. I repeated sending the mail with the same result and 2 or more mails in the draft folder. Yesterday I discovered that the mail had been sent 4 times!. Now I have the same problem: the mail has not been sent, it appears in the draft folder, I try to delete it but the mail remains in the draft folder. This happens after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2 and migrating to iCloud.
    I have MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Mb ram memory, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2).

    If those music are greyed out in iTunes on your laptop, are you able to play the music? If you cannot, it means that you probably deleted the mp3 file or moved it to another location where iTunes can no longer find. If they are greyed out on iTunes and cannot play them, I would just right click and delete it. Then re-sync with your iPad.

  • Is anyone else having trouble sending mail?  I have a MobileMe subscription - not sure whether that is the problem.  The Port assigned to my mail account on my iMac has a different number for the one recommended by Apple, but I hesitate to change it.

    Is anyone else having trouble sending mail on an iMac running 10.6.8.  I get a messsage that the server can't be accessed.  Apple help suggests using a different port from the one that was originally set.  I have a Mobile Me account.  Any suggestions?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • I can't get into my mail without being asked for my password and its stored in keychain and not having trouble on any other device except my macbook

    I have been having trouble signing on for several days to my email accounts. Everytime it asks for my password and the keychain box pops up. I retype it and it returns. I even went under mail preferences and changed it and it will not let me on. I have an iPad and an iPhone and can access it that way (so I know the password is correct) but not on macbook. Any help would be appreciated.

    David:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    +I set up an access code to the hard drive in order block the other user's access...+
    Can you explain exactly what you did? That may help explain your situation.
    When you try to boot normally, explain exactly what happens.
    Have you tried starting up in Safe Mode?
    Please post back with updated information.
    Good luck.

    HI,
    The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
    Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
    A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as  Jabber Name/ID.  (Google Run  Jabber server).
    Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another.  (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
    iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen  (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
    Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
    Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
    However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

  • I am having trouble sending bulk emails (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account using group names created from my address book.  I use Mail on my I-Mac.  When I try to send out a bulk email, the message shows up that my server can't send them, etc.

    I am having trouble sending bulk emails from a Mail Group (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account.  They come back saying the server can't recognize the data and try again with selected server or try later or edit message, all of which I have attempted a number of times, including re-booting the computer.  I am wondering if there is something wrong in my Address Book?  I have check Apple Preferences, and Mail Preferences and all seems in order.  I can send to any of the individual addresses, but not in a group.
    Thanks for your help.

    Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

    In Mail, I am having trouble with my cursor.  When making revisions to what I have already typed, the cursor doesn't "land" where I "click" it to be.  It seems to land somewhere below the spot I click on. It seems to have a mind of its own.

  • Having trouble setting up email accounts in the mail app?

    Hi Apple community,
         I am having trouble setting up my email accounts with the osX mail application. I have two accounts, an outlook and my college email through google. When I try to add the outlook account the prompt says that it cannot connect to the server and when I try my college mail i get the following prompt.
    "Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
    Please note that my college account is run by gmail and ends in murraystate.edu
    Thanks, Will.

    Hey will,
    okay for your college email. Heres what you do.
    Try adding your email and wait for the message to come up
    Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
    Once it does, you will notice 2 extra boxes One says username and the other password. You will notice that the username will not have @murraystate.edu
    Add this and continue and this should now be added as an email account and should be able to receive emails as normal.
    For your outlook emails, I would recommend using the following article to set it up. It is fairly straightforward.
