Why is typing delayed in Mountain Lion Mail?

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion typing can be delay quite a few seconds. Also opening the mail is very slow. Why and what to do about it. It's bad enough to be a real problem. Only happens in mail.

I've noticed this problem while upgrading several computers at my company. What I've found to be good practice is upgrade the RAM when upgrading to MountainLion (Lion as well). Even still, many of our users are on SnowLeopard (10.6) and the RAM requirement doubles from that platform when moving to Lion or MountainLion. In Lion/MountainLion apple recommends a minimum of 2GB, in SL a minimum of 1GB. Most of our users have 4GB either way, it has been observed to make a difference when upgrading the RAM to at least 6GB in Lion/MountainLion. Of course, this is user specific.... My 2 cents for what it's worth

In Mountain Lion, Mail why no "view as icon" option

I used to be able to compose a message, attach a PDF and right click to "view as icon." Now when I attach, I see a preview of the doc. When I save as a draft, the PDFs appear as icons. When a PC user receives them, will they arrive as PDF attachments icons only showing or will it show a preview of the doc in their opening window?

In Mountain Lion mail, it is still possible to switch between a preview and an icon of an attachment.
How somebody else is seeing it when he/she is receiving it it totally up to their mail app. It has nothing to do with PC or Mac or whatever system they use.
So you have basically no real chance to control what the receipient will see when looking at your mail.

How do I stop Mountain Lion Mail from downloading emails?

I create html newsletter emails for a church organization using a combination of Dreamweaver, Safari and Apple Mail. Since I moved to Mountain Lion, however, I have an Apple Mail problem.
Our organization uses an AOL email address. Under Lion and previous OS's, I was able to create the organization's account in Apple Mail, unclick "Include when automatically checking for new messages" in Mail Preferences, click "Enable this account" in Mail Preferences, and be able to send the finished email without routinely downloading all the emails from the organization's AOL inbox. Although I've followed this same procedure in Mountain Lion Mail, the app still insists on downloading their emails!! Is there any other switch to shut it off?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks. Unfortunately, I have several email accounts in Mail. 'Sorry, I didn't indicate this before. Prior to Mountain Lion, I was able to set Mail to automatically download email for all accounts except the organization's. Although the "Include when automatically..." checkbox in the organization's specific account preferences seems to provide this control in ML ... it doesn't

For all like me who have been fooled by rss disapearing in Mountain Lion Mail

I have read lots of threads regarding the discontinued support of RSS feeds in Mountain Lion Mail, but unfortunately, after I have installed Moutain Lion (I am really angry with Apple not to have communicate on this point and to have discover it at the end of the install!).
So, after reading a lot on the subject, here's what I have made to get back everything I needed.
First, I wanted to get all my saved articles back. For this I have gone in ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> (you have to show hidden files) Here you have the list of your old rss mailboxes. Select the ones you want to restore and drop them into a folder that's not hidden (in a folder on your desktop for example) because you won't be able to see this folder in the file selection window in the next step.
Then go to Mail->File->Import mailboxes
Select "Apple Mail". Then go to the folder previously created and select all the .mbox files you moved in.
Now you will have a new mail box with all imported subfolders and alle your saved articles. You can then rearrange them as you like.
Now, to renew your feeds subscriptions, you have no other choice than to use another rss app. And to find all your feeds links, go to ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> or the folder previously created and in each .mbox open the info.plist file. In each file look for the string in front of "RSSFeedURLString", double click on it and copy and paste it in your new rss reader.
It's not a clean solution, it's quite long (mainly for the import of rss feeds in the new reader), it forces to have old saved articles in mail and new ones in the new app, but that's the only solution I have found.
If anyone has a better one, I think lots of us will appreciate.
PS: please accept my apologies if everything is not clear, as English is not my mother tongue

Can anyone recommend a good RSS reader? One I can use on my Mac and iPad?
I wrote one to integrate with Mountain Lion's notifications. The iPad version is not yet available. You can download it from: http://www.etresoft.com/etrefeed

I just noticed I have to run spell check when leaving a post here. The old Safari would automatically redline misspelled words.
Seems that they are taking many things away when we upgrade- don't understand.
That is a function of the forum software. Safari 6 has nothing to do with it.

Why ilife disappear after reinstalling mountain lion?

why ilife disappear after reinstalling mountain lion?

The 10.8.3 update should have left your iLife apps intact - did you do a clean install, erasing your drive? If so, then you should be able to go to the Mac App Store and download the iLife apps using the Apple ID with which you registered your computer.

Mountain Lion: Mail uses 100% cpu

Since the update to Mountain Lion Mail uses always more than 80% of cpu as long as it is running. Has anyone a solution?

Mountain Lion Mail cant print or save multiple messages???

The question is not a question because I already know.....
Mountain Lion Mail obviously cant print or save multiple messages !
There are multiple threads about that, but I couldnt find any solution :
I want to export a full folder of mails (emlx) to single PDFs
and I want to have the Images displayed ! (Lion Mail could do that!)
saving as RTF just shows a link and not the image if it is just a linked image
and saving multiple mails doesnt work anyway. same for printing (and save as pdf)
did anybody run into this... maybe find another solution?
automator doesnt really help on this, too, and i dind find any tool.
word opens emlx files, but the image is displayed just as a 1x1cm thumb
that is really annoying !

I restarted the iMac and now it seems to allow this operation - so I consider this problem resolved for now.

After Updating Mountain Lion, Mail & Safari keep crashing; WLAN Connection fails

After Updating Mountain Lion, Mail & Safari keep crashing; WLAN Connection fails;
I have updatet Mountain Lion and since then, Mail & Safari keep crashing plus: WLAN Connections keeps on failing from time to time.
My Router has the newest firmware, i am clueless what to do.
I even cannot shut down my mac properly.

Hello you all,
I also had the problem of a disconnecting wifi while my imac was sleeping. I did not have the reconnecting issue after sleep, but the lost connection issue during sleep which made it impossible to reach my imac for things like homesharing, apple tv or remote desktop. I have a late 2012 iMac with a clean ML 10.8.2 on it and wirelessly connected to an apple time capsule (same as an airport extreme). My partner has a mid 2007 iMac, also with an ML 10.8.2 on it.
I tried every single solution I could find on the internet, such as changing the router's security from wpa2 to wpa, changing the MTU from automatic to manual 1453, router reboots, re-installations, re-configurations, keychain clean-ups, everything.
Eventually I solved my problem with these steps and now it works as a charm. I can still find the iMac with the remote app, even after 12 hours of sleep:
My time capsule router is set on automatic MTU and encrypted with WPA2 and I use the 5Ghz network!
1. Cleaned all the wifi passwords in keychain on my iMac
2. Created a new network location in system preferences
3. In this location I deleted the bluetooth pan and bluetooth dun connection.
4. In this location I changed the preferred connection-order to wifi on #1 and ethernet on #2.
5. Restarted my iMac.
Now I still have a connection when it sleeps and I can wake it to low profile using the remote app (homesharing) and everything works fine.
Hope more people wille be helped by this.

Spinning beachball in Mountain Lion Mail - HELP !!

Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion
Mail is full screen and has a spinning beachball - I cant minimise the screen - I can swipe to bring up the desktop or anyother program, however whenever I go back to Mail I get the beachball.
So - I have done a 'Force Quit'
When I reopen Mail it defaults immediately to the full screen and then seconds later the spininng beachball starts.
I have done a full restart, Mail starts up the same way with the same problem.
I have held the power button in and done a PRAM reset - I still get it opening up the same way.
I've been to Disk Utility and done the verify and repair disk but the utility finds no problems, therfore nothing to repair. I'm running out of ideas!
Help!

If arthur's suggestions don't work -
Quit the application.
Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.mail
Move the folder to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, make sure your mail is there, and then delete the folder from your desktop.
If the application is the same, return the folder to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Need to delete an unsent message in Mountain Lion Mail

I attempted to send a mass e-mail in Mountain Lion mail to over 300 recipients. The application would not let me do so, so I broke the mailing list up into smaller lists and sent multiple e-mails, which worked. But now mail constantly notifies me that it cannot send the original e-mail to the multiple recipients. Is there any way to delete this message? It doesn't show up in the drafts or sent files, nor in the folders on the iCloud server.

Initially it wasn't showing up in drafts, but after quitting and restarting the application it appeared there and I was able to delete it. Thanks!

How do you setup HTML signatures in Mountain Lion Mail?

Hi,
Any help with this issue will be very much appreciated.
I have just updated to Mountain Lion, it seems to work ok aside from "Mail signatures".
I am creating a new signature for my company and noticed that in Mountain Lion, mail creates a new signature with the .mailsignature file type. When I try to replace it with my .webarchive file, it does not work. Has anyone figured out a way to get my HTML signature into Mail?

Mountain Lion/Mail problem

Since installing Mountain Lion, Mail slows down to a crawl every few days (I've purged every cache more than once) and iTunes shuts off out of the blue. Anyone else having these problems?

Since the last couple of ML updates I can no longer send any mails.

HT5444 I am at 10.7.5 on a 2009 Macbook Pro. Why should I upgrade to Mountain Lion

I am at 10.7.5 on a 2009 Macbook Pro. Why should I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

In ways, Mountain Lion is a more efficient operating system than Lion, however, if you are happy with Lion and it meets all of your needs, there is o reason to change. You can easily enough compare the features of the two and see if you are missing something that is important to you. And then decide if you want to change.

Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk.
