Mail mixes up messages

Hi,
Since a couple of days osX mail app mixes up my messages from different inboxes.
The sender and subject of these messages are not the same.
For example. Yesterday I send a message with subject "ssh access VPS" to person x. And when I select this conversation I'm seeing mail from even 2009 and from a totally other inbox/e-mailaddress.
I tried to rebuild my inbox but this didn't help. When I Go to Gmail in my browser, everything is fine.
edit: This happens with messages in my @gmail inbox. The messages are mixed up with a self hosted mail address.
Does anyone know whats going on and knows how to fix this?

Mail mixes up messages from senders

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I've had problems with Mail. I resolved the issue regarding the disappearance of all my mail on my laptop but am now puzzled with Mail mixing-up messages from senders. For example, I click on the "from" category for a vendor/friend, and get the mail (e.g., subject/content) from a different vendor/friend. In other words, I might click on mail sent from PETCO and mail from my insurance company appears in the body of the e-mail. Any suggestions?

Mail mixing up messages

Today my mail app started acting up in a bad way.
I'm retrieving mail via IMAP (everyone.net).
All of a sudden many of the new emails I get are getting mixed up with old emails.
For example, in split view mode, I can see the new messages, who they're from, and the subject. When I click on the message, the body is not the correctly associated email. It shows body from a message I received back in December.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Mail: Clicking a message in Inbox should open it in a separate window (not just in lower pane). This stopped working after an automatic update of OS(10.6.8). Suggestions?

Before updating software (10.6.8), in Mail, clicking a message in the inbox caused the message to appear in its own separate window-- not just in the pane below the inbox. I'm not sure why this function is no longer available. I guess I could delete Preferences (where?) and see if that does it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nick

Uh…no it didn't. Double-clicking a message would open it in a new window. Regardless of whether you have the message pane visible, you still have to double-click the message if you want it to open in it's own message window.

No, you can't do that; not unless you want to say bye-bye to all your email. Don't even think about messing around with things unless you know what you're doing, and the consequences.

How to use Mail to sent messages when away from home

How do I have to configure my "Mail" on my PowerBook G-4 (OS 10.4.5) in order to use it in a WIFI enviroment?
At home when connected via Airport to my own Outgoing Mail Server (smtp 8. sympatico.ca) I have absolutely no problems. However, last year I was on a Cruise Ship and tried to use the existing WiFi System. I could receive messages using Mail, but I could not send messages using Mail.
At the moment I'm visiting my son in the Boston area and I'm having the same problem. I was forced to use the Sympatico Web Mail in order to sent E-mail messages. (receiving mail using "Mail", represents no problem)
There has to be a way to configure Mail to originate messages and sent them as well, but I cannot find anything which tells me how to do that.
The version presently installed for Mail is 2.0.7.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
Best Regards,

Hank,
The problem here is your ISP (looks like its Sympatico) blocking connections to their mail server from computers not connected directly to their network. I wouldn't blame your ISP though b/c as I understand it almost ALL ISPs block these type of connections to cut down on SPAM being sent.
What you need to do is to find the outgoing mail server for the network you are on.
For example, if you look on the "Mail" settings on your Son's computer and note his "Outing Mail Server" (in the "Accounts" pain of "Mail" prefs) settings and then go to your machine and put in that same "Outgoing Mail Server" info then you should be fine.
You can do this on your machine by selecting "Add Server..." from the "Outgoing Mail Server" drop down menu. When the window comes up just type in the same settings your Son uses. If he does not have a machine with mail setup on it then you can call his ISP and they'll tell you.
Remember to switch the "outgoing mail server" back to your home server when you return home. By the way, most places (like hotels) will give you their outgoing mail server info if you ask them, so next time you're on a cruise with wifi you might try asking the IT people.
Best of luck,
Allen

IPhones on same iCloud account mixing up messages

My family has two iPhone 4's and one 4S all connected to the sme iTunes/iCloud account that have recently been mixing up messages. This problem just recently started where one message is intended to be sent from one of the phones to just one other (i.e. me to my mom or my dad to my mom) but instead the messages go to all three phones but are often shown as not sent at all, sent by the wrong person, recieved by the wrong person, or not displayed at all because all phones show that they sent the message. At other times a message is shown as being sent by the email adress the account is under or even I have sent a message but it is sent under another one of the phone's numbers and they recievd it under their own number! None of the phones are jailbroken and all are running on iOS 5.1, I suspect that this is an iCloud issue but I'm not positive. So far this only occurs between these three phones. If anyone knows what this is or how to fix it please reply
Thank you

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
Is this possible? I don't see any options?
All I see is this:
Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for
   transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
      Your bill is ready for review.
     Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
     Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

What phone?
You would need to disable data on the phone itself. You wouldn't do it online on your account.
Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

How to use's mail's "perform mail action with message"

I can't for the life of me figure out how to use "perform mail action with message", I basically want to create a script that get's used on a rule from Mail, but nothing I try will work.
This is what I started with...
tell application "Mail"
perform mail action with message msgs for rule theRule
end
end
This doesn't compile i've seen an example of it being used like this...
using terms from application "Mail"
perform mail action with message msgs for rule theRule
end perform
end using
this also doesn't compile, so I'm not sure what it's wanting

This is one of those annoying things about programming - you have to arrange and spell things exactly right (this gets worse if you have fat fingers). You can look at the dictionary for Mail to see the specifics - in your example you are missing an "s" at the end of the word "message":
<pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">tell application "Mail"
perform mail action with messages msgs for rule theRule
end tell
</pre>

Mail deception - says messages are sent out but are not delivered

The Mail program appears to send my outgoing e-mail messages but does not actually do so. When I send a new message or reply to a message, Mail behaves as though the message has been sent: the spinner runs and the swoosh sound occurs when the message leaves my Outbox. The message then appears in my Sent folder. However, the mail is never received by the intended recipients. I apparently operated like this for weeks until my sister mentioned my lack of response to her e-mail a couple of weeks prior. (Honest, I really did reply.) Upon investigation I learned that others had not received messages I had sent. I then tried sending a message to myself at the same account and at my work account (different ISP) and the messages were not received.
I am using a POP account at core.com. If I access my account via the core.com webmail site, I am able to actually send messages. Getting them from the Mail program on my computer is the problem.
I noticed several other questions posted about Mail not sending messages but those queries mentioned receiving an error message or the program timed out trying to send and knowing immediately the mail was not sent. My situation seems unique in that the program is behaving deceptively - it tells me a message is sent but it is not.
I followed the steps Apple posted regarding Leopard Mail not sending messages but no success. I am using OS X5.6 on an Intel MacBook.
I have spoken with the core.com technical support staff and they assure me the problems is with the Mail program or my iMac. They are most likely correct. As an experiment I set up MS Entourage as an e-mail client for my core.com account. Entourage had no trouble sending messages to intended recipients.
I have double and triple checked the settings in Mail Preferences. The core.com technical support representative confirmed I am using the correct settings and suggested I use a different e-mail client program and forget about Apple Mail. However, I understand it is not possible to export information from Mail to a different e-mail client program so I am reluctant to make the change. The representative also suggested I remove Mail and reinstall it as a way of possibly correcting the problem. I do not want to go that route if I can avoid doing so. If that is the best approach, how do I go about saving my messages and addresses in Mail before removing Mail? Other suggestions to get Mail to behave properly?
Thank you!

I am thinking your messages have been sent, but stopped somewhere along the path of server, perhaps even by your provider, due to some sudden lack of trust of your messages or identity.
Try sending a message only in Plain Text -- you could simply open one of your messages to your sister, click on Message in the menubar and choose Send Again. Then before sending click on Format, and choose Make Plain Text. Before sending click on Window and choose Activity. Watch the report of Activity as transmission of the message should be taking place.
Do you use a Signature, and if so, does it contain any links or HTML? Also, do this test only with a message you composed, and not one you Forwarded or a Reply.

Need help sending e-mail a mobile messages

hi!
i'm a n00b in Java. Can you please tell how can i send e-mail and mobile messages in java?
thnx!!

First of all, before you do any programming, if you want to have your computer send e-mail messages then you must have access to an SMTP server.
Next, if you do have access to one, then JavaMail is a common way to write programs that send e-mail.
As for mobile messages ("text messages" to a cellphone?) you usually need a contract with some phone company to do that, so they can bill you for it.
When you find out about that, they should provide you with documentation on how to proceed. If it involves sending e-mail to a particular address, see part 1 of this reply.
