Mail.app missing to field in reply all

Hi,
Using OS X Lion with Mail.app, DavMail, and IMAP (Exchange). Just recently, people at work have been telling me that when I reply all to a message from someone (that is also sent to others), the recipent does not get the message.
I looked at the raw header from Mail.app, and the Cc: list was there in the middle, and near the bottom was the To: field with the recipient. However, when a coworker looked at the recieved mail (he was on the Cc: list), the raw header only had the Cc: list and not To: field.
I don't know if this is a problem with Mail.app on Lion, Exchange, or something else (DavMail).
I'm going to try some tests sending and replying to different combinations, to see if it is just reply-all, and if it happens every time. Any other ideas to troubleshoot?
I've never seen this, when using Snow Leopard. I've been using Lion for about 2 months now, and it was OK until last week. I'm trying to see if there are other people at work with Macs, seeing this problem.
At a loss,
PCM

I had the same problem today with (Mavericks) Mail and was able to fix this easily:
In the search bar, look up some email which is in the archive. In the upper right corner of this email you find two links: "details" and "archive ..". klick on that "archive". it will place the archive folder back in the sidebar permanently.

Mail App won't let me reply/reply all to messages

Hi folks,
Unfortunalty, I have a problem on my hands. My Mail application won't let me "Reply" or "Reply all" to certain messages. I noticed so far that I cannot reply to messages from the GMail domain. If I click on "Reply" or "Reply All", the buttons toggle like they have been clicked, but nothing happens. When I look in the Console application, I see the following entry every time I hit those two buttons:
2006-09-10 16:28:54.794 Mail[1654] * -[NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]: attempt to insert nil
Now, I also cannot attach anything to any message. This is a consistent problem that is a real pain! If I want to send an attachment, I have to go to the webmail portal and use that to send messages with attachements. When I click on the paperclip icon in the toolbar, I see this message in the Console application:
2006-09-10 16:51:13.154 Mail[1654] Exception raised during posting of notification. Ignored. exception: * -[NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]: attempt to insert nil
What does this mean and what can I do to correct this issue? Thanks in advance!

Hola Jaime.
This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

Windows Phone and Windows 8 Mail App not sending email from Reply/Forward

I have recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. After a successful upgrade I configured the Windows 8 Mail app to also sync with Exchange (2010 in house server). On my Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 800) I have the same account configured.
This resulted in the problem that the Mail App and the phone do not want to send any emails that have been created by reply or forward.
The phone gives the following error:
"We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the address is correct and that no attachments are too large."
The Mail App give the following error:
"There's a problem with sending messages from [email protected] at the moment. Check with your provider for more info."
If I create a new email there is no problem.
I have searched all over the internet for a solution to this problem, but could not find somebody with exactly the same problem.

I have exactly the same problem, but unfortunately no solution either... I'll be watching this thread, or post a solution if I find one...

Mail app missing "Archive" folder in sidebar for iCloud account.

This seems like it should be an easy fix but, it's not. I've been trying all day. Basically, the sidebar in the mail app now only provides Inbox, Sent, (VIP if set up) Junk and Trash. It used to also have three other folders. (Drafts, Archive and Flagged) Now, I am able to view Inbox, VIP's, Sent, Drafts and Flagged by the drop-down menu right above "MAILBOXES". But neither on the drop-down menu or the sidebar is the "Archive" folder located. If I want to archive a message I certainly can by clicking the "Archive" button in the top toolbar. But, the whole folder used to be in the sidebar where I can view "saved" messages just like I would on my iPhone.
I have found a way to put it back temporarily but if I quit the mail app, the folder goes missing again. These are the steps I have done to put it back in the sidebar.
Original image when app is opened: No "Archive" folder.
I click the gear on bottom left of app. And then I clicked "Get Account Info".
This new window opens up and give me options. And so I clicked "Archive" and then "Show Messages".
After doing that I noticed that the "Archive" folder is now back where I have always seen it. And, I can view all messages I've saved there whether it be from the mail app, my iPhone or iCloud on the web.
If I quit the application I have to start all over again to retrieve the folder. Although it's not a long process it can be annoying and for some reason it opens two full windows of the app.
I am only asking about this for iCloud e-mail not Gmail or Yahoo! etc.
Why is the folder not there anymore? How can it be placed permanently again?
I can import it but anytime I move a message to the imported "Archive" folder it's only saving desktops messages and not all that possess iCloud.
The simple question is how to keep that "Archive" folder in the sidebar, as it is pictured in the last picture, the way it used to be, all the time.

Mail.app missing from computer

hello-
i don't have mail.app on my ibook for some reason. i tried copying the app and all the files over a network i created, but it doesn't work. the app is there and i can click on it to open it, but then it acts like it's opening and then doesn't open. is there any way i get can it on my ibook and make it work? thanks.
but then this created another problem. somehow in copying my files over the network, all the messages in my inbox (my powerbook has mail.app and i've been using it for years) were deleted! i use "rules" and have certain messages sent to certain mailboxes that i created, and those are all fine. but my whole inbox was emptied. does anyone know how i can retrieve them or what i can do in the future to keep this from happening? thanks
the powerbook is running Mac OS X 10.4.5, and the ibook is running 10.3.something.

Mail App randomly re-asks Gmail passwords (all devices)

Hello all
I have a MBPr 13" Late 2012 (OSX 10.9.2 all updates installed) an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2 (both with ios 7.1), I use two Gmail account on MPB and iPhone and only one on iPad. I added the second GMail account on MBP and iPhone about 3 weeks ago. At the same time I set same account on iPad as the only acccount since I use this only for work.
It's about a week that Mail App randomly stops connecting to my Gmail accounts and asks again the password for one or both of the account. This on all devices. It may happen for instance that iPhone and iPad works fine, and on Mac I have to redigit the password. Or MBP and iPad works fine and iPhone aks the password. Or for a while all of them woks. To make it short, the malfunctioning seems to be random, using Wi-Fi, 3G, at home, at work, in the car.... in the morning, at evening...
Also if I don't care to digit again the password and I click on Cancel in the dialog box, after a while may happen the connection starts work fine again.
It seems to me that the problem is on Gmail Server, I don't know may be Gmail updated the services and Mail App needs an update, or big G is making a sort of maintenance?
Or maybe Mail App doesn't turns unstable with 2 gmail account?
I don't know... I wrote to ask some advice and to query if this is happening only to me, or someone else is experienced same problems.
Thanks

With IMAP, all mail syncs across multiple platforms. IOW, if you've read a message on your Blackberry, for example, it will show as having been read on your Mac, too — and vice versa. *With POP, you would see all messages as new on all platforms, no matter whether you've already seen them on one of them.*
GMail, however, has its own interpretation of how things should be, and what they call IMAP isn't exactly what everyone else understands it to be. ;S
Not true. The POP protocol deletes the email from the email server when it is downloaded to your email client, unless you specifically set your email client to leave a copy of the downloaded email on the server. So by default the popped email is only available on the first device to pop it.
What is GMAIL's interpretation of IMAP? IMAP and POP are email protocols not GMAIL interpretations.

Mail.app missing accounts and prefs after system force-quit

My Macbook wouldn't wake up from sleep, so I force-quit it, and restarted it, and now Mail.app is giving me the "Welcome to Mail. You'll be guided through the steps to set up your mail account" welcome screen.
I entered one of my mail accounts, and it wouldn't let me set it up as POP - only IMAP. Once I got past the set up screen, all my accounts and preferences were gone, but my mailboxes were still there with all the messages I've archived.
How do I get my accounts and preferences back?
I tried this: ttp://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2791513&tstart=0 - it didn't work for me.

Mail template missing send buttton on reply

Hello everyone, I just reinstalled Tiger on my mom's 17" G4. I applied all of the latest updates. Now my mail template seems to be missing a send button but only when I reply to mail. The only way to send is to choose MESSAGE > SEND. Is there a preferences file I can delete to have it rebuild? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Neobe

From the reply window, control + click on an empty area on the toolbar and choose customize. From there you should be able to add the "Send" button to the toolbar.

Mail app - new account won't download all the messages

Hi,
I setup a new email account on Mail and it downloaded 250 of my emails, but then it stops at March 23rd. If I log onto yahoo, all the new emails are there and it was working fine when I was using Thunderbird.
In fact, under mail activity, if I click on get mail it says it's downloading 161 more emails, but it never displays in the inbox. And if I click on the Get Info for that mailbox, it actually shows all my new emails under "Messages on Server".
Is there a way to get the messages to be retrieved under the inbox? I've tried deleting the account and re-adding it, but it keeps stopping at the same date. I've also added two other email accounts and those downloaded fine (also POP accounts).

Hi, Welcome!
Someone in the 10.5 Mail forum would be more able to help you.

Missing messages and other recent Mail.app quirks

HI,
Although I've read through many post on this issue, I haven't found one that seems to apply to my situation. And, the process seems really confusing... so I thought I'd ask you guy's.
I rebuilt my inbox's last night, and:
1. 1 of my 2 POP inbox's is now empty (except for a couple new mails today). There were about 150 messages.
2. My .mac inbox is receiving mails, but first the little spinner thing wouldn't stop spinning, and has switched to a blue clock looking thing that's stuck at about 10:30 (may have moved to 11:00 now?).
3. Drafts don't seem to be saving.
4. Seems that the audio feedback is gone or was gone (the sound is up and the speakers to work).
5. I was getting a strange error message when sending that I didn't write down (something to do with the Trash and 0 space or something).
I've been on this new machine (OS 10.4.5) since November with no Mail.app (2.0.7) trouble at all (I moved from a TiBook that had once had Panther on it). And, I didn't let this last Security update install. I had been trying to resolve some POP SMTP server issues, but went with .mac with the "reply to" option (I'm stuck in a hotel in southern China), and I did lose one email that I had just sent... which prompted the rebuild of the mailbox's. Still can't find that missing email- but I did get a reply from the person I sent it to.
There weren't many messages in that now empty inbox, but they were the important ones (which I think I located in Library > Mail folder thanks to you folks).
I can survive with issues 2 - 5 above if necessary, but I'd really like to deal with the missing message problem.
Should I just "import mailbox's" back in and hope it all works? Will I lose those new mails from today? Can you offer me any advice?
Sorry if I rambled on too much (too much spare time on a Sunday morning in China), and thank you in advance for any thoughts,
Guy

Guy,
Different answers for each file. The CachedData1 is a leftover file from an IMAP or .mac account -- Mail no longer uses that method of caching, so delete.
The two MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded are used with each POP account, and are still valid file types -- however, one of them should be modified each time you access your POP server -- check the dates modified again.
The two files named to begin with Incoming are leftovers, and probably must simply be deleted. They resulted in the mailbox where you found them when a message had been received (even if by transfer) and that mailbox was not opened prior to the conversion. In Panther, and earlier, these files would disappear when the mailbox was opened to view. It probably is only one or two messages -- the Incoming_Mail file can be read with TextEdit to confirm.
I think the Envelope Index Journal results during an incomplete indexing attempt Mail has made at some point, was meant to be temporary -- I am not entirely sure about this, but I do not have one.
The time out on port zero is one I need to research -- although I have seen a few reports, and think there is some explanation, I cannot remember as I write this.
There is an ongoing issue with .mac and continuation of the indicator for activity -- I see this on my iBook G4, but not on my G5. Useless needed for Offline use, set Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced to Don't save all message and attachment for Offline viewing, which may help. I hope this one get addressed in some future update.

Reply and forward icons not appearing in mail app when I respond/forward from Gmail

When I reply or forward an email within the iphone mail app, the arrow icons showing I replied or forwarded appear beside the email in my iphone mail app inbox.
When I reply or forward from gmail, these icons do not appear in my iphone mail app. Does show that I have read and flagging/unflagging works.
Any thoughts?

Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your mail again.

How to reply from Gmail account using Hotmail address in Mail app in iPhone iOS 6?

Hello,
Since the iOS 6 upgrade on my 4 iPhone, the "imap.gmail.com" won't work.
I had my e-mail set up as "other" and would receive my Hotmail in Gmail using imap, so I could reply using my Hotmail address.
So I deleted everything and tried again but it still won't work.
In the mean time, I am using the Gmail App but can't use the Apple Mail app because it won't reply from my Hotmail address, and I do not want to have to choose my reply-to address; I didn't have to before.
I do not want to use my Gmail address for anything.
I want to always use my Hotmail address.
Praying for help! I want to be able to use my Mail app like before!
Also not sure if the Gmail app is killing my battery, or if the new iOS 6 is....
Thanks so much.

I said I want to use my Hotmail ADDRESS only. Not the Hotmail e-mail.
I check my Hotmail in Gmail. I love how Gmail is set up.
I've tried deleting and recreating.
In order to check my Hotmail in Gmail on the iPhone, and reply from my Hotmail address using Gmail, you have to set up your mail on the iPhone using "other" when adding an e-mail account.
Since the upgrade, it will no longer let me use the "imap" feature and based on my research, it seems like everyone is having this issue.
Yes, I can use the Gmail e-mail account, but when I reply it'll show my Gmail address and I'd like it to show my Hotmail address WITHOUT having to use a drop-down menu and switch the reply-to address.
Hope that clarifies.

Mail.app with gmail setup question

hello,
i have a large gmail account i have been using with mail.app for a long time and all works normally. however the "gmail style" is getting a bit out of control for me with the duplicates in sent/all mail. my processing is simple, after reading an email i archive it (so my inbox is always clean) so it means i move it to all mail. but since sent messages are also in all mail i'm pretty sure mail.app is storing these messages twice and whenever you search for messages you always have to filter through the duplicates. I think there are some newer ways to sync mail.app with gmail and i just wanted to ask what's the best solution to this common issue?
thank you,
rick

thanks for the reply. yes that is what i do sorry if i wasn't clear enough. actually the messages coming in are not duplicated since once i move them to All Mail there is only one copy there in All Mail. it's the sent messages since they are saved once in Sent and once in All Mail. does that make sense and how do other deal with this?
thanks again,
rick

E-Mail search misses e-mails

When using the search function in the mail app (IOS 8.1.3) within "all inboxes" using the name of the sender "Smith" the search delivers a long list of e-mails sorted by date from the newest to the oldest. It shows more results when "All Mailboxes" is active, of course less when "Current Mailbox" (I guess in this case "all inboxes") is active.
I am missing an E-mail in the search result. When I try the search in the correct folder "Archive" the search delivers that particular E-Mail.
Why is the search function when used from "all inboxes" with the radio button "All Mailboxes" not delivering that result. Does it only refer to E-Mails within all inboxes? If yes, how do I search all folders of all mailboxes? The general search from the home screen is much less helpful than the search within the mail app.
Thank you!

I've been unable to search email "message" body ever since getting Verizon. I can search fine by sender, subject, etc, but when I try to search "message" I get a Verizon error message (not a browser error) stating: "We were unable to perform your request. Please try again." I've called tech support, and they tried to say this is some sort of broswer issue. It ISN'T, because again this is a verizon message coming up, and the other searches work fine. This has never worked in MONTHS, and I'm about ready to switch to another provider, since I need to be able to search my emails. UGGGH......

Mail.app: Select outgoing (SMTP) server per message?

Dear community members,
I'm looking for a solution to the following problem:
I do have multiple e-mail accounts which are configured in the following way: One of them is the master account (let's say [email protected]) added to Mail.app as a POP account. The other ones (let's call them [email protected] and [email protected]) are on different servers and are configured to forward all incoming mail to [email protected] They are, however, not added to Mail.app as additional accounts. That is because it's not necessary for receiving mail with these addresses, since all incoming mail is forwarded to [email protected], anyway, and therefore immediately available in Mail.app.
The problem arises when sending e-mails within Mail.app. I can easily add all three addresses in the "Mail" > "Settings" > "Accounts" settings window by entering them in the e-mail-address-field separated by comma (e.g. "[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]“). This allows me to select the desired outgoing address on a per-message basis in the compose window.
There is, however, a problem with this: This setting means that mail from all three addresses is being sent using the same SMTP server. This can cause problems for domains that do have SPF-records, for example. Therefore, I'd very much prefer to not only select the outgoing mail address on a per-message-basis, but also the SMTP-server I'd like to use. Since Mail.app allows me to add multiple SMTP servers in the account's settings window, I believe there has to be a way to select which one to use on a per-message-basis? Whenever there's a problem with an SMTP-server, a window opens up asking me which of the alternative SMTP servers I'd like to use, instead. This indicates that this function exists – it's just far from obvious for me where to find it in a normal usage scenario.
Does anyone have an idea? Any hint is welcome!
Thanks
Nick

That has nothing to do with it. I ended up working around the problem by changing the account name.
But I still think this is a bug, so I won't mark the topic as answered (a workaround is not the solution).
