10.5.3 Mail Creates New Message on Account Activation -Totally Bizarre

Hi there - this is a weird one.
I recently added a new pop account that had some ssl connection issues, but otherwise seemed fine. The account frequently goes offline during the day and whenever I take it back online, Mail grabs the last received email from any account, and places its contents into an email from one of my addresses to the same address.
It's worth noting that Mail has been behaving slowly and crashing a lot since the 10.5.3 update. Is anyone else seeing the same bug, or have any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks Barry. I agree - corrupted preferences can be sources of strange behavior.
It's been recommended to me that the combo updater should be applied before trying to rebuild the accounts and such as I'll have to if I scrap the preferences. I'll post the results here after I do so.

Create New Message number in Validation

Hi,
I have to create a new step in the validation, for which i want new message.
please advice how to create new Message number? transaction code for it?
thank you in advance,

Hi
For creating Validations go to GGB0.
In the step itself you will have message also.
you will find a change (pencil) button, click on tht it will take to new screen and there you can create a new message with number.
Activate the Validation in GGB4.

Why is Mail showing new messages when nothings there?

I decided to delete the Apple RSS feed from my mail, and suddenly the mail icon on shows 17 new messages (the same amount that were present in the RSS feed when it was deleted) and I don't know how to get it to stop showing it.
This is really ******* me off because I never wanted a RSS feed in the first place, now that I get rid of it, I'm stuck with this huge red "17" on my mail icon.
So can somebody tell me how to get rid of it?

Nevermind. For some reason when I attempted to quit mail, the new messages dissappeared.

In Mail: open New Message, Mail quits unexpected

In Mail: open New Message, Mail quits unexpected, so I can not write any new emails, any suggestions?

Is your software up to date, by chance? Sometimes that can be a simple fix.

Create new InContext Editing accounts functionality unavailable starting Saturday Oct 31 at 7pm PDT until Sunday Nov 1 at noon PST

The Adobe InContext Editing service will undergo scheduled maintenance starting on Saturday Oct 31 at 7pm PDT and end Sunday Nov 1 at noon PST. However, the service will be available during this time. The only area affected by this outage will be the new account creation. During this time, you won’t be able to create new InContext Editing accounts.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

This really should have gone out in an email to InContext users. Not a huge deal, but I spent 20 minutes testing a site in various browsers, and looking on forums before i found this . . .
Just an idea.
Thanks.

Drop & Drop file onto Mail icon doesn't create new message

New to Snow-leopard and what used to work in Leopard... dragging a file from the finder onto the Mail icon would open a new message with that file as the attachment... doesn't seem to work in SL. Mail will come to the front, but, beyond that, nothing happens.
Mail 4.2
OS X 10.6.2
Any ideas?

Hi,
Works properly here, but remember seeing other reports. I will keep looking for earlier topics and resolution, if any, for those reporting.
Meanwhile, create a New User Account on your Mac, and as that New User open Mail and set up one email account as a test. If a POP account, set it to leave messages in the server after download.
See the following if not familiar with adding a new user account:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
This will test the app itself vs your current User Account.

Mail dock icon does not create new message when a file is dragged onto it

After installing Snow Leopard, dragging a file to the the Mail icon in the dock no longer creates a new message with the file attached. Mail is brought forward as the active application, just no new message window.
This was the behavior in earlier versions of mail.
Is there a preference, or any other change, that can be changed to allow drag-and-drop of a file to create a new message with an attachment?
--James

There are some issues with drag and drop. I was having the same issue with Mail with SL, but I didn't check after 10.6.1. However, I just installed a new hard drive, and migrated. Mail works for me, now.
It didn't work with my 10.6 which had been upgraded with multiple builds in the beta. I assumed it was related to the other drag and drop issues. Now that I check it again, I don't think so.

Mail taking Minutes to create New Messages, or replies

This afternoon Mail has decided I need to stop and smell the roses or something because suddenly creating a new message, or replying to a message takes several minutes.
If I click "new message" I get the beachball for more than 2 minutes (just timed it). Same thing happens if I reply to a message - more than 2 minutes of beachball.
Oddly, it's not pegging the processor as this happens (according to Activity Monitor) nor is anyone complaining to console.log or system.log.
Very Strange.
1.5 gHz PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This problem started happening today for me too. There is about a 2 minute delay to open a new message or reply to one.
Of note is that I did not yet apply the Quicktime 7.1.1 update! Therefore, I am skeptical that this problem is caused by QT 7.1.1.
I am now wondering if this has something to do with the date of June 1st, 06? That would be weird, but I see no other reason for a bunch of people suddenly having this problem.
I have looked at various log files, and seen nothing obvious, though I am getting a series of repeated warnings from mdimportserver, such as "Jun 1 22:59:58 Alsek mdimportserver[470]: * Failed to decode quoted-printable \13\10 data, treating as binary". Could spotlight be messing with Mail?
This is all very strange. Apple, please help.

Any ideas?

Well, Dragon Express is installed but has been for weeks without causing an issue. The only new software installed since Dragon has been Mouseposé. I've quit Mouseposé and so far the issue has not reappeared.
Interesting. If it does happen again I will quit Dragon and see how it goes from there.
Thanks for the tip!

Can't create new messages in Mail

When I click on New Message or Reply I don't get a new window or a new draft message. Nothing seems to happen. But if I quit Mail and then re-launch, I get all the new mail windows appearing, and they are all there in my drafts mailbox, and they can be edited and sent as normal.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks.

Are you saying it doesn't happen for all new messages?
Try making a new user account, log on as the new user, set up Mail there and see does the problem exist.

In Apple Mail, my new messages are coming in without the blue dot, as if the messages have already been read. Why? Has my computer been compromised?

I did not use my laptop all day. This evening, when I looked at my new e-mail from earlier today, only about 3 messages still had the blue dot, that shows on unread mail. I watched new messages come in. One new one came in with the blue (unread) dot, then maybe when the next new message came in, the blue dot disappeared from the first message, but appeared on the new message. The 2 subsequent e-mails came in without any blue dot. I had not highlighted or opened any of those 4 new e-mails, or any of the previously delivered e-mails from today. I cannot find anything in system preferences or in mail preferences that addresses this issue. Anyone know why this is happening? Has my computer been breached or hacked?

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched. The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server. If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company. This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders? Are there any major advantages to using them?

Emailing from iPhoto doesn't create new message

I'm trying to email some photos from iPhoto using Apple Mail. I select my photos tell it what size to send, photo count is correct. Click on Compose and I see a progress bar...preparing photos for email. it says it processed the correct # of photos but I don't get the new message dialog box.
Could this be because I'm using gmail imap?

Rayne
Could this be because I'm using gmail imap?
Unlikely, as the service you use has no impact on creating the message, only on sending it.
try the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Apple Mail new messages opening behind active window

I have been noticing that new mail messages often open behind active windows, especially Microsoft office (Word). When I create a new message, the new message will often open and sit behind the current open document. I have noticed this mostly when using a second display. It also does not seem to be isolated to just Mail, but that's where I see it the most. Has anyone else seen this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Office 2011 will not respond or create new message

Hello,
I have Outlook 2011 installed on an iMac model late 2012. It has worked without any problems for years until today.
I can receive emails and read them but cannot respond, forward, or create a new message for some reason. I restarted, rebooted the computer to see if it would solve the problem but im exactly where I first started.
I searched google to see if anyone has reported this problem and found several websites stating that this is an issue related to Safari.
All pages suggested to reinstall safari (not sure why as I have the actual outlook mail client) in order to be able to use Outlook properly.
These posts where from last year. I have tried to reinstall safari however the application has changed. It appears that with Mavericks you cannot remove/reinstall safari. According to the website you now have to reinstall Mavericks to reinstall Safari. This is ridiculous.
Anyone have any idea on how to repair this issue, thank you in advance for your time and help.

Echo that
A Mavericks / Outlook 2011 problem - all our workstations using on 10.9.3 wont connect Exchange. All was fine until today. So far, no obvious fix.
older machines running snow leopard etc not effected.
Mail works fine on all of them but not everyone likes mail...
Any ideas?
