Strange E-mail Messages

First of all, let me say that I have been a Blackberry fan for years. I just bought a new BlackBerry Tour and have received hundreds (literally) of e-mails similar to this:
Subject: RIM_bca28a80-e9c0-11d1-87fe-00600811c6a2
This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server.

After receiving over 800 similar messages, I did delete them. Do you know what I might be getting these types sof e-mail messages?
Thanks for your help.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
There are several possible reasons. I suggest you go here:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/searchEntry.do
and do a search on "etp" (the messages are coming to you from network@etp, right?) and check out the various results.
Good luck and let us know!

I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. Help!

I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. In one case, a message someone had sent to me wound up in the mailbox of a third person, who was not included in the address list!! I have only two accounts, and have checked everything; only one account is showing the repeats Now, that account is my professional account, and it resides in three places: I use it on the laptop described here, I use it through Apple Mail on the much newer desktop Mac in my office, and I can run it through Web mail on my employer's server, which is where the professional account resides (I have a mailbox there, etc.) That program is called Zimbra.
My personal account is with Earthlink and is not doing the repeats. I access it either through my MacBook's Apple Mail or the Web; the Apple Mail on my office Mac is not configured to access the Earthlink server.
What IS going on here?? My friends, colleagues, and students (I teach college) are mystified by these ancient messages.

Problem with attaching files to mail message

Hello,
I have problem with my mail app. I'm using spaces for better organization. When I wanna add some file to mail message I usually go to different desktop (space), where I have the file I wanna attach. I grab it move to right up corner to activate spaces, than move to desktop (space) with mail.app and press spacebar (it activates the desktop immediately). At that time it also start random app, which is in my dock.
You can see it in my youtube video.
How can avoid this strange thing happen?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUypUnPHZvc
I'm using MacBook Pro 15'', Snow Leopard - latest updates. I've reinstalled my mac two days ago, so no garbage should be in.

Thanks for quick reply.
I don't have selected "always..." so I also tried it with selected "always...".
Now I discovered that it has nothing to do with the mail. I've tried just move some file from one of spaces (desktop) to another using the spacebar for faster switching and it did the same. It opens random app from Dock.
So now this topic is in wrong discussion. I will post it to correct discussion...

MobileMe top-level folders not accepting mail messages

Strange thing...
Now that iPhone has "push" mail, I decided to take all my mail from Mail.app on my mac up to my MobileMe account. I wanted to do this as-is, but it's not quite that simple... However, the whole folder structure and all e-mails therein are now happily living in MobileMe.
Except that they are not! All the Top-Level folders that contain other folders are now white in Mail.app, and don't exist at all in MobileMe. It's as if all folders were one level higher than they should be - all folders directly contained in a white parent folder appear as top level folders in MobileMe!! On the iPhone, they do exist, but their names are greyed out. Both in Mail.app and on the iPhone, they are empty and you cannot add mail messages to them even though, in Mail.app "on my Mac" they still contain mail and will happily accept mail messages...
What gives? Is there something I need to do to change them from "folder folders" into "mail folders that happen to also have folders in them"???
G>

Not a single answer or post on this...
I decided to create new folders and add a dummy place holder message in them, then move over all the subfolders to this one. There was a bit of strange behaviour when synchronising with MobleMe (old folder disappeared without my deleting it, etc) but now all is well and all my top level folders can accept mails.
During the process, it seems like MobileMe didn't know that these folder existed - when renaming or deleting them, I do an error saying that they did not exist. Indeed, on MobileMe, they did not exist and this resulted in all the first level subfolders being at the top level in me.com - very messy. It looks a lot better now!

Leopard's Spotlight doesn't search Mail messages

Leopard's Spotlight isn't searching email messages. I made a clean install of 10.5, and have two POP accounts. The message files are right there under ~/Library/Mail/... . I rebuilt the index for the system volume by adding and then removing the volume from the Privacy zone in Spotlight preferences. I also tried some of the command-line suggestions posted elsewhere for this problem. I recently added my backup volume to the privacy zone, but other than that the zone is empty.
But the problem remains. Outside Mail.app, Spotlight never comes back with search results that are mail messages. Inside Mail.app, searching "entire message" returns 0 results. Does anyone know how to diagnose this problem? Can I see if a particular file is included in the metadata index?

Hahaaaa! Solved it - at least for me...
Please read the whole explanation first before just gabbing any presented commands and executing them in the Terminal. The solution requires no Terminal.
I had exactly the same problem described by MikeW and JJ. I tried everything like you before at no avail, too. But I tried one more thing that did work and indexed all my mail. Here is what I did at the command line. Don't type the command right away. It will work, but this is not the root cause of your problem, I present it just to explain:
find ~/Library/Mail -name "*.emlx" -exec mdimport {} \;
This searches for the individual message (*.emlx) files themselves and throws them one by one onto the mdimporter which imports them just fine. Still, a plain mdimport ~/Library/Mail would not work which pointed me in the right direction: Spotlight did not "see" these individual message files. But Why?
I fiddled a bit with file/folder permissions since I also simply upgraded from Tiger and ended up with old Tiger permission based user accounts. No result. I discovered, that in Finder the mailboxes, say ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/INBOX.mbox etc. were displayed as package files instead of folders. Strange. So again I tried mdimport -d1 ~/Library/Mail now with a bit of debugging. Aha! Spotlight imports this folder as type 'dyn.ah62d4rv4ge81g45mr3wgn8a', or similar, a dynamic UTI, instead of with 'com.apple.mail.mbox' as what it should have been. Since this unknown dynamic UTI dosn't mean anything sensible to Spotlight, it would simply skip the folder, not scanning it's contents with the well known result that mails cannot be searched by content.
So, what is essentially overwriting these UTIs? Especially because this would not happen in another Leopard-created user account. I felt guilty as I added some custom UTIs in the past, but nothing to do with mail at all. So who carries UTIs for Mail.app? Well... Mail.app! Another Mail.app? YES! I remembered, that I had an older complete pre-Spotlight system backup on my current system, including all applications including Mail.app in version 1.3.something. AFAIK only with Mail 2.0 Apple changed the way Mail saves messages and they apparently also changed the UTI of .mbox to the new format. I simply deleted the old version of Mail.app. Immediately after that the icons of the .mbox changed and I could open these folders in Finder. I tried again mdimport ~/Library/Mail and - boom - Spotlight imported all my mails!
Long story to explain my thoughts, here are 5 steps for you to try:
1. Search your system to find out if you have multiple different copies of Mail.app. You can do that with Spotlight/Finder or enter in the terminal:
sudo find / -type d -name "Mail.app" -ls
(You need to be admin to sudo, type your password when prompted)
2. Locate and check the found versions of Mail.app in Finder via the get info window.
3. Delete all but the actual copy of Mail.app in /Applications from your system (empty trash!).
4. Enter the following line in the terminal to have Spotlight import your messages:
mdimport ~/Library/Mail
Should take much longer now, depending on the number of mails you have.
5. Check the result by searching mail content in Mail/Finder/Spotlight, enjoy!
Note: If you did find and delete old versions of Mail.app, but step 4 did not work, you might have to log out and in or you can even try to restart the machine. In my case the result was instant. If all of that did not work for you - sorry - but probably the above helps you to track your particular problem down.

E-Mail message format

I have recently encountered a problem with the formatting on e-mail messages that I receive on my BB from sweeping both Outlook and internet e-mail addresses. The spacing is very large so that I am able to only see a few random bits/pieces of the message. It doesn't appear to be a problem with e-mails that are sent from my BB. My cell phone service is through AT&T. I am aware of no changes that would have caused this problem. Any suggestions?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS configuration for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Gifs changing to Blurry Jpgs when attached to Mail Messages

Hi,
I frequently pass screen shots to colleagues via email. I usually save these as gifs. When I attach a gif to an email, it automatically converts to a jpg and becomes extremely blurry. If I go to my provider's email browser and attach the same files, they remain as gifs and are crisp and clean but this is a hassle.
What's up with Mail?

I've been a cell phone user since the early days of analog cellular. Back in the days of brick phones, of which I was a user.
I've been a customer of of Cellular One, Ameritech, Verizon, T Mobile, Cingular and AT&T.
I've never experienced loosing my voice mail as I did today.
I considered my voice mail broken since I could not access my visual voice mail on my phone, I could not reset my voice mail on my phone (following the prompts on my phone) and no one could leave me a voice mail message if they called me. I called AT&T customer support and they could not get my voice mail working. I'm not sure what more could be broken, but I would classify my voice mail as broken.
You may find it acceptable to have your voice mail broken (or perhaps cut off) if you change your data plan, but I don't think that's acceptable.
I don't see how I made a major change to my account. I didn't make any changes to the types of data I can send or receive. The only change I made was to opt for a lower cost plan that delivers all the same data. That change resulted in all 5 members of my family plan to loose their voice mail.
You may be correct that all this needed was for it to be reset. But, I can't reset it. The customer service person could not reset it. It took the tech support person to be able to reset it. All of which was about an hour on the phone.
I don't think this experience should be typical. Maybe it isn't. Maybe for some strange reason, in my circumstance something more went wrong. But, that's not what AT&T told me. They told me what I experienced is typical.
So, I thought I would post this for people that might experience this issue, or think about changing their data plan so that they would know what to do.
But, perhaps I was wrong in using this Discussion site to post what I thought might be helpful.
I'm sorry. I will (as I told a previous poster) delete this post. As soon I as I figure out how.

MacBook hogging Mail messages

A colleague who has a MacBook recently bought an iMac, and has them both in the same house. When she checks her Mail messages on the iMac there are few, if any. Then she switches on the MacBook and Mail downloads a whole lot of messages that were waiting on the server. She says settings (including incoming mail server) are identical on both computers. She's asked me for advice, and I honestly don't know where the problem lies. This is a POP email address we're talking about, not .Mac. She's using broadband, and has the MacBook on Airport, the desktop iMac connected via ethernet cable. Anyone got any ideas? Ta.

Thanks for that. I'll check tomorrow with her. Though isn't it strange that the iMac is first online, so to speak, and downloads few messages, and the MacBook is second online and downloads the bulk of her messages?

Sender Mail Adapter Error: exception caught during processing mail message;

HI , I am configuring mail to file scenario. Need to read mail content (no need to capture From,TO or Subject details) and create a file with the content in the mail.
Need to read mails from microsoft outlook. Exchange server has been configured for POP3 protocol.
Following are the details provoding in sender mail adapter:
URL: provided url in the format: pop://<server name>
Authentication method: plain
provided user credinetions to access mails.
poll interval - 1min
content encoding none.
processing parameters : quality of service-exactly once
Since there is no need to capture From,TO or Subject details, didn't select the option - use mail package.
Verified for unread mails in the mail box and made sure that there are few unread mails.
Also, created data types and other components in IR and completed mapping.
But after starting sender mail communication channel, getting error "exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.NullPointerException" in RWB-adapter-communication channel monitoring.
please let me know what needs to be done to resolve this error.
Thanks.

HI Stefan, i tried, but still it is giving same error. Yes, i am able to access outlook mail with the user credentials given in the communication channel to access exchange server.
I am using message protocol: xipayload . Also since i dont have to capture TO,from,subject details., created data type just with one element of type string, not in the standard format .Does this makes any difference.

Outlook can not display htmldb mail message correctly

We are using some applications which constructed by HTML DB. All mail messages from HTML DB applications can not be displayed correctly in Outlook, but they are displayed very well in Netscape mail client. This issue happens in both HTML DB 1.5 and 1.6. Therefore, I am not sure this is HTML DB mail package issue or outlook issue. Have anyone experienced this issue. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is a sample in our application.

This was not well documented, but we have improved the doc for the next relase. Essentially, you need a carriage return / line feed every 1000 characters. This is part of the SMTP spec. The package does not do this automatically for you, so try adding them yourself. You can use utl_tcp.crlf for the crlf.

Mail Messages Going To Drafts Folder

Almost every mail message I compose - both new messages and replies - are showing up in the Drafts folder. These seem to be identical to messages after they are sent and appearing in the Sent folder. I'm not saving them at any time, so why would these messages go to "Drafts"?
Thanks,
JD

While indeed unchecking this option stops the behavior, it's not the best of solutions. The options to save drafts on server is available with any decent IMAP program, and generally is very beneficial. Say I start a message on my Mac, and then have to leave before it's done. If it's saved to the server, I can then pick this message up later on my iPhone or iPad and complete it and send it. Or I can start it on an iOS device, have it save to the server from there, and then pick it up on my Mac later to complete.
So, the functionality of "Save drafts on server" is widely known amongst IMAP clients, and it would be nice if Apple Mail would simply replace a previous draft of a particular message with the latest version rather than piling up multiple versions of the email. Also, it's customary that when you eventually send the message, the drafts also disappear.
It would also help if there was a way to increase the auto-save time to a longer setting so that they don't pile up so fast.

How can i move a mail message from INBOX to other Folder

I want to store all the mail messages to some specific folder after read it. i tried it with setFlags but it's not working
Plz suggest any of the option
Thanks in advance ..

i created a folder name as "ShiftedMails" and try the following code:
objFolder.copyMessages (msgs, objFolder.getFolder("ShiftedMails"));
but got the error:
{color:#ff0000}javax.mail.MessagingException: not a directory
at com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Folder.getFolder(POP3Folder.java:127){color}

8830..Moving e-mail messages from Inbox to other folder

On my 8830...When I move e-mail messages from my Inbox to a different folder (under Inbox), they disappear totally from my laptop e-mail rather than mirroring what I did on my BlackBerry. On the flip side, if I move messages from my Inbox to another folder on my laptop, it does mirror on my BlackBerry. My e-mail is Outlook 2003, running on my company's Microsoft Exchange Server. Please help.

Since you have folders under your Inbox, I can only assume you're on a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) setup receiving your Corporate email. If that's not the case, I can't figure out how you got folders under your Inbox, and have NO IDEA how you're getting the results you're getting as BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) email accounts can't have folders!
You most likely don't have reconciliation enabled for the folders you're moving your email to.
Go into Messages, hit the [Menu] button and select Options --> Email Settings. Hit the [Menu] button and select Folder Redirection.
You should see your Mailbox at the top with a + to the left of it. Highlight that line, hit [Menu] --> Expand to display the main folders under your Mailbox. Your Inbox should appear with a Box next to it either checked or filled in.
Highlight Inbox, and again hit [Menu] --> Expand to display the folders under your Inbox. All the folders under your Inbox, and the boxes are probably unchecked or not "filled in". Scroll to the folders you want reconciled with your BlackBerry and hit [Space] to check or fill the box next to it. Use [Menu] --> Expand if there's a + to the left of the box to expand subfolders.
Once all the folders you want reconciled are checked or filled, hit [Esc] and save.
Now your email won't dissappear when you move it! You should also notice in the Messages list that email in folders other than your Inbox have a folder icon rather than an Envelope icon.
And before you ask... The BlackBerry does NOT SYNCHRONIZE, it Reconciles. Email is pushed to the device ONCE, and only changes to the status of messages are transmitted after that. Moves will only be reflected after you've turned Reconciliation on for a given folder. BTW - emails you moved that disappeared should have been in your Deleted Items folder.
Reconciliation rather than Synchronization saves enormously on data transmission ($) as well as Battery life. Believe me - we have both BlackBerries (Big Wigs only) and Windows Mobile (the rest of the 25,000 peons) devices at my company, and the most common complaint about the Windows devices is battery life, and HUGE costs when the device is overseas!

Mail messages going to drafts

My email messages are all ending up in the drafts folder, even though they have been sent. Any way to get these out of the drafts folder??

I am having the same problem... started about 2-3 months ago.... a copy of all mail messages is saved to draft, even though they are sent... Anyone figure this out yet???
thanks so much

Amount of mail messages slowing the app down?

My mail app seems to be taking longer than before to fetch messages and I was wondering if it had anything to do with the amount of mail messages in my various mailboxes. Can someone tell me, should I be clearing out old mail messages or is it safe to let them pile up indefinitely? I have 900 plus messages in Inbox, 1400 in Sent box and approx 1500 messages in other personalised mail boxes. Is this too much and will it affect Mail's functionality?
G5 DP 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The number and combined size of all messages in an account's Inbox and Sent mailbox should not have any effect on the amount of time is takes to fetch new messages available at an account's incoming mail server but depending on how many rules you have created to sort reveived messages to user created mailboxes by cateogry and/or the number of Smart mailboxes will have an effect on the sorting process after all messages are downloaded.
Using the Rebuild Mailbox function on the most active mailboxes on a regular basis - every couple of weeks or monthly depending on activity is a good idea and all email clients have limits.
Check Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 Mail: Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty.
