Why am I unable to edit messages in Mail App 7.0 on iMAC in Mavericks

Why am I unable to edit messages in Mail App 7.0 on iMAC in Mavericks?

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • 'Unable to move message' iOS7 mail app

    Everytime i try to delete email(s) on the standard apple mail app on my iPhone 4s the process wont complete saying 'Unable to move message'. i have tried deleting and re adding the account, rebooting my phone syncing with iTunes and nothing seems to stop the message appearing. I know the error doesn't lie with the account as i can send emails from the outlook website and complete the processes on there. I don't know what else to do now...

    Hi Peter,
    since its now January 2010, I sure hope you have resolved this issue! I had the same problem after I had to restore my iphone G3. Anyway, played around a bit and was able to fix by changing the "deleted mailbox" behavior...to use the trash on the server vs on "my iphone"
    here it is:
    settings/mail,contacts/accounts (choose yours)/advanced/deleted mailbox/
    then click the trash bin on the server.
    this should also work for your sent mail behavior.
    hope this helps!

    why am i unable to read my e-mails. they arrive ok, i can see them in my in box but when opening them the content is missing. i have been succsesful in opening them on other computers which dont use firefox

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

  • I need a multiple message voice mail app for Iphone 4S that also provides an auto-attendant, e.g the caller can dial 1 for one of business's or 2 for the other. Each of these options will need to have a different voice mail greeting. Help please?

    There are no alternative voicemail apps - the core functionality of the phone can not be replaced.
    You'll have to look for an external service, that can then forward calls for each caller onto the correct phone.
    At our business we use Voipfone.co.uk which allows multiple phone lines to come into one VOIP account.

  • Why am I unable to edit some Smart Mailboxes

    I have used Smart Mailboxes for some time but have found recently, when I wish to add a new criterion, that I am unable to edit some of them.
    The 'flap' simply fails to appear.
    Some newly created boxes can be edited and some can't.
    I am unable to find a difference between those I can edit & those I can't edit.
    I loaded the recent [Dec 22nd] update to Mail in the hope that that would solve the problem but it didn't.
    I would be very glad of help or advice.

    Mark,
    I'm not sure that what you are experiencing is necessarily a glitch otherwise one would assume that others would have made the same complaint. Having said that when you updated to 10.5.6 did you do that via Software Update or did you explicitly download either the Combo or Update?
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_6_ComboUpdate (668Mb)
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_6Update (372Mb)
    The reason I ask is that there have been some problems reported by users as a result of performing the update via Software Update and when they have subsequently downloaded the Combo and installed that, the problems have been overcome. I downloaded the Combo at the outset given that I had experienced minor software update problems on previous occasions so erred on the side of caution.
    If you choose to download one of the above then before installing you should repair disk permissions and then do a backup.
    You can provide feedback to apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Cheers

  • Unable to Move Message (Sent Mail / Exchange)

    I have 4 messages in my SENT mail folder on my iPhone 3GS (v3.1.2) that I simply can't get rid of. When I try and delete them (either one at a time or as a group), I get the message: "Unable to Move Message(s): The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." I've tried turning the mail account on and off, hard resetting the iPhone etc. with no success.
    I've seen a number of forum threads about this problem but with no solutions. Just checking that by some stroke of good luck, somebody has figured out how to resolve this issue.
    Other messages (those before and since the 4 mentioned here) have been no problem. I can delete them without a problem.
    Please note that the 4 messages referred to above NO LONGER appear in my Exchange SENT mail folder. As far as Exchange is concerned, they were deleted many months ago.
    If anybody has a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Happy Holidays and thank you!

  • Edit Email Messages in Mail.app

    Does anyone know a way to edit an email message already received in mail.app? I found this to be a useful feature of Eudora and even Outlook, but it doesn't seem to be in Mail.app.
    Thanks for any help. - M.

    Thanks for the replies. But that link does not solve the problem: it just provides workarounds.
    I would like to know if there is any way to edit a message that has been received in my mail.app program.
    As for any legal issues, I find them to be not very compelling. Although it is true that courts now admit emails into evidence as if they were any other document, that does not suggest that they should not be modifiable. That courts admit such electronic documents into evidence certainly imposes no burden on me, the email receiver, to maintain the email's original format. Moreover, there is nothing improper about making programs or add-ons that facilitate the making of such changes in emails unless and until Congress decides to take up the issue and make it a crime to modify received emails.
    Since that has not happened, and is unlikely to in the near future, I would still love it if someone could provide either instructions or some mail.app extension that allows one to edit received emails.

  • Snooze email messages in Mail.app

    What I am missing is a Mail.app plugin that allows me to snooze messages (just like it is possible with the Mailbox app for iPhone).
    Functionality:
    - I would like to be able to define a snooze period for a message. There should be user-definable presets and the option to exactly specify date and time).
    - Snoozed messages should be moved to a folder "Later".
    - They should be moved back from the "Later" folder to the Inbox when they are due.
    - The extension should work with all email accounts.

  • Garbled messages in Mail.app (using Gmail IMAP)

    Several of my archived messages in Gmail are displaying with garbled headers in Mail.app, which is configured to access my Gmail account via IMAP. Here's what the headers look like:
    ------=NextPart_000_001601CA70CE.4D0AAE80
    +Content-Type: text/plain;+
    charset="us-ascii"
    +Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit+

    Note that the message displays perfectly in Gmail on the web.

    Yesterday I tried to move all my messages from Gmail to MobileMe to work around this. I created a new label "Archive" in Gmail web and marked all my mail in "All Mail" with this label so they would show up in IMAP. In Mail.app I disabled "Move messages to Trash" to avoid having them deleted.
    Unfortunately I could not move my messages, around 1 out of 50 had the problem described above, so MobileMe did not allow me to upload them because of the missing headers. These were old messages, never opened by Mail.app earlier, and it was true that they missed some headers: they were exported from Outlook and Opera Mail years ago. But still they had all the header fields a mailer would display (To, From, Cc, Subject). Anyway the fact Mail.app cannot display these properly is perhaps acceptable in this case.
    However the problem being unable to display certain recently received, archived messages on my Gmail account still applies. Those messages were not modified in any way, only Gmail and Mail.app were used to access them.
    Needless to say, the old messages mentioned above that went through Outlook and Opera Mail look OK both on the web and in Thunderbird, too. At least I knew that I realized early that I could not move all messages this way to MobileMe. I am going to try moving my messages again with Thunderbird now.

  • How to use single key to color a message in Mail.app?

    I would like to be able to color code a message's line in the main message summary window by pressing only a single key. In thunderbird, this is accomplished by pressing 1 to 5, each corresponding to a different color.
    Mail.app allows coloring a message, to my knowledge, only by bringing up colors chooser and then selecting a color (by default in a inprecise color wheel).
    How do a make "hot keys" for specific colors?
    thanks

    To answer my own question: Leopard and Mail.app don't suport this directly.
    What works is using Fastscripts Lite to bind application-specific hot keys to some simple applescripts.
    Here is one such script, modeled on an Apple sample script:
    using terms from application "Mail"
    tell application "Mail"
    set selectedMessages to selection
    set selectionCount to (count of selectedMessages)
    repeat with messageNumber from 1 to selectionCount
    set theMessage to item messageNumber of selectedMessages
    set background color of theMessage to green
    end repeat
    end tell
    end using terms from

  • How to archive a message in mail app and delete in imap gmail

    I've been searching the forums before asking this but have failed to find the answer.
    I'd like to, if possible, use the archive function in my mail app on iMac to archive and store messages locally. At the same time I'd like to delete those messages from the Gmail servers so that my archived messages only sit on my iMac.
    I've tried but Gmail creates an [IMAP]/Archive folder with the messages that I've archived on my mac.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance

    Thankyou
    Yes, I tried that already and it successfully stores the email locally, "On my Mac", however, the email remains within Gmail's All mail folder and is therefore not removed from Google's servers.
    Is it possible to achieve this without having to go into Gmail and separately deleting the mail from All mail?
    Would like to avoid the duplication if possible.
    Thanks

  • Con't. Serious error message re Mail.app w/respect to Mail Preferences not opening...

    Hi all (& Linc)
    In an earlier thread,
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/25906027#25906027
    I prematurely reported a problem with Mail.app prefs not opening as being solved, when it turns out it hasn't been. The freezing of Mail.app upon invocation of Mail Prefs reintroduced itself, both with a suspected culptrit (the great DPS by Bongiovi) turned on and off and Quit Then, without any noticeable input, Mail.app suddenly righted itself and works as normal. I ran a test in Console and saw this foreboding log readout. It may still involve DPS. I'm reporting this same to the savvy engineers at Bongiovi, as well. What's to be done? I may be stumped, but I'm not giving up...
    All best,
    David

  • Unable to save settings in mail app for Mac OS X for iCloud mail?

    Hello
    I have two questions really.
    1: I wanted a new email address, was happy to see I could create an iCloud email address - but it seems you need an initial email address to have an iCloud email address. As in, I couldn't use it as my apple ID?
    2: I cannot save settings for my iCloud mail because the incoming server is 'greyed out' and the mail app identifies this as the incoming server being blank which it isn't, but I cannot edit it as the 'greyed out' font is locked and unchangeable. Apple state that the incoming server should read as:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    But mine reads this and it won't let me change it. Other wise the email works, but I do need to adjust the settings etc and I can't because the incoming server is apparently blank when it isn't.
    Server name: p09-imap.mail.me.com
    I hope this made some sense to someone. I simply wanted a new email address and it's taken up the best part of an afternoon.
    Thank you.

    Problem Solved(ish)
    I had to Apple chat, iCloud is set a certain way, and that's it.
    They edited my full name FOR ME (I know).
    Password is made to match your Apple ID, so that's how to change that.
    As for Mailbox behaviours, as I said above - On the left side bar of Mail app, right click or Command Click under Mailboxes iCloud.com and select Get Account Info then> Mailbox Behaviours. Your settings will save then without the whole 'Can't save settings when incoming server is blank.'
    I hope Apple will soon make that if they must have an auto-filled Incoming Server, that the Mail app will not recognise it as blank so that we can at least edit Mail preferences when and how we like it.
    Thanks.
