10.5.6 Viewing Incoming Mail

10.5.6 has introduced a change in the way incoming mail is viewed. The previous system was to double click on the Inbox mail item and it would open in a new window, properly sized to match the email's requirements. Now a single click opens a "viewing pane" inside the Inbox window. There appears to be no way to open an email in it's own window short of dragging the file to the desktop and double clicking on it there.
Is there a way to turn off this "viewing pane" system and revert to the old system?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
It has always had these two choices: using the Message Preview Pane (my preferred way) and minizing the Message Preview Pane to require double-clicking. Just double click on the three little bars in the middle of the bar separating the preview pane from the list of messages.

View incoming mail from certain user, Terminal

Is there a way to view logs of both received and rejected emails coming into our mail server from a certain address to a certain user.
We are still having a problem with one person sending us emails, and I know that at one point the other tech (Who is unavailable due to health reasons right now) had shown me a list of emails, dates and times from a certain email address.
I have not been able to find anything in our server logs that look like they would cause any trouble. So I want to know where else I can look for something like this.
Any and all help is appreciated.
FYI, she send me the Delivery failure notices, but I know that other emails came in around the same time so our server was up and running.
Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
The following message to <[email protected]> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) 'timeout'

We have had some strange problems today. A few emails from Feb 12 just decided to show up in peoples mail boxes (Mine included, from the same lady that was having problems the other day).
One of our employees sent some PDF attachments to Toronto, they showed up as gibberish. When she forwards them to me, they are fine.
Rebooted the Mail server just in case. Too many 'weird' things today. Now off to deal with the issue of 2 of our raids each having one failed drive, and one degraded drive. Is it Monday or something????

"Missing Plug-in" instead of image in incoming mail

Recently, some mail has arrived with gray text reading "Missing Plug-in" where the image should be. The attachment size shows next to the paper clip, and I can use the Save button to save the image, and view it with Preview.
But when I try to cut and paste the saved image into an outgoing message, the same gray text appears instead.
Not all incoming mail behaves this way. I have not yet been able to determine if this is unique to a single sender.

Greetings All,
I've recently noticed the "Missing Plug-in" phenomenon too in Apple Mail (Version 3.6 (936)). I've tried resetting Java preferences by clicking the "Restore Defaults" button, but there's no change. Since I'm running Leopard 10.5.8 I didn't download the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2 at http://support.apple.com/downloads/. Is it okay to load this update if I'm running OS X 10.5.8? If so, I'll give it a try, but I don't want to attempt a fix if it's going to cause more problems.
I also went into Safari (Version 5.0.4 (5533.20.27)), into Preferences/Advanced and checked the Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar. I then went into Develop but found no Enable Extensions option. So that was a dead end.
I've checked my system for updates and everything seems to be up to date. However, I suspect that this just may be part of the problem. Sometimes things get fluky when updates occur. Strange how that is.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Exchange Server 2010: Incoming mail not delivered

I have an Exchange Server 2010 Standard with all recent patches and updates.
-It has been in service for 3 years without any issues.
-There is plenty of hard drive space for the logs and the data (over 100GB in each)
-The current size of the mail database is 150GB
-There is no registry entry in place limiting the size of the database ([url="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232092.aspx"]Database Size Limit in GB as outlined here[/url]
Starting a few days ago, incoming mail is reaching the server but not being delivered to user mailboxes. Internal mail works fine when this happens. Looking at the Queue Viewer doesn't show anything abnormal. The Submission Queue shows nothing.
It is only after I reboot the Exchange Server that the Submission queue will show all the messages waiting to be delivered and they will all be delivered successfully after the reboot. The event logs do not show any error messages.
The server will continue to run fine for a few hours and then the problem starts all over again.
What could be causing this?

Any 3rd party antivirus/anti-spam software installed on the server? If so, disable and test.

Incoming mail not appearing in inbox on my macbook

Hi, Up until yesterday my mail was synching fine. Yesterday, all of sudden the incoming mail appears to be happening but the new messages are not in my inbox on my macbook. The messages are synching to my iPad.
I tried rebuilding mail; rebooting; also repairing permissions per the other messages in this area. Any other suggestions?

SharePoint 2013 : Incoming Mail with NLB

I am trying to configure Incoming Email and I have (2) of each WFE & APP Servers
Based on Q&A link below
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f9f1d254-0f9e-4eec-a1c7-a94252668680/sharepoint-2013-incoming-mail-with-nlb?forum=sharepointgeneral
Note that the SPLockJobType will be changed to Job in the December 2013 CU for load balancing purposes.
http://sharepoint.nauplius.net/2013/08/update-on-incoming-email-job-lock-type-change-between-sharepoint-2010-and-2013/
It is not recommended to run Incoming Email on more than one SharePoint 2013 server due to a synchronization issue Microsoft identified (hence the job lock type change).
My question: is the patch part of SharePoint Cumulative Update 15.0.4551.1511 - if not then I will apply it separately (do I apply to all the servers and would I have to run SharePoint Products and Configuration) ?
Thanks
Davinder

The patch is part of the December 2013 CU. You can use Incoming Email in a load balanced or high availability MX/SMTP routing given you have the Dec 2013 CU installed on SharePoint 2013.

Duplicate incoming mail messages

I keep getting duplicates and sometimes even triplicates of most incoming mail messages. I have used the "rebuild" option, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
OSX 10.6.7 Safari 5.0.5
Thank you,
Steve G.

First, is her Mail configured to remove messages from the server right away, or leave them on for some duration? (Preferences/Accounts/(choose account)/Advanced/Remove copy from server after retrieving message)
Did the 3 copies come in at the same time, or over the course of some time when Mail automatically checked for new mail? Can you use webmail to view what the server shows (could it have 3 copies?)

Incoming mail not displaying?

Incoming mail not displaying?, appears to download but does not display. Began today. Nothing has changed with computer hardware or software. Mail working fine on iPhone. Any suggestions?

Hi Linc,
Usually after about a couple of minutes use.
Not one particular message - it will freeze for a moment then completely crash
It seems to have solved it self now though.
I can view my text.
Used CCleaner to clear all cache, under the mail app and all miscellaneous cache too.
Restarted laptop and works a treat now.
Curious as to whether it was due to the upgrade to Maverick though

Creating 'conversations' as in gmail - with incoming mail and replies

As nice as Apple Mail is, the real disadvantage I find is my inability to keep incoming mail and replies to it together: yes, one can have a thread going but that does not automatically group replies to an incoming email, which is what gmail is so good at doing. If one creates a folder and drags sent mail into that folder, this does not solve the problem. Am I missing something, or has Apple not woken up to this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
In your Mail "View" menu choose "Organize by thread".

Mail.app not accepting incoming mail in .Mac Account

This problem has been getting worse over the last two months. Mail.app has been selectively accepting incoming traffic to my .Mac address, even those that I whitelisted through Rules and junkmatcher.
Incoming Mail from trusted sources, such as family and friends are not appearing. Until recently, subscriptions such as Versiontracker, Sundance, Apple Event, etc would populate targeted mailboxes, but now even they have not being accepted either.
This is very curious - because, if I access my .Mac accoun via WebDAV or another email client, the missing mail appears. After I manually accept an incoming message via a browser or another client and subsequently use Mail.app to view messages, the missing missives appear. I have not changed anything in either "Rules" or Junkmatcher. What has changed is system upgrades over time from 10.4.2 to 10.4.6. Now mail.app appears broken.
Any insights or fixes out there?
I will bring this up with the "Geniuses" at the SF Apple store. But for now, I'll be using another client until Apple fixes this.

Every time I've seen something like this being reported, the problem ended up being a rule that wasn't working as expected, e.g. because a rule had specified any instead of all, or because a rule was routing messages to Inbox, or something like that...

Cannot view sent mail

Every time I send an email using MAIL 1.3, I am unable to view the mail I just sent in my SENT box.
I get the message:
The message from Billy Doherty <[email protected]> concerning “Re: Practice Website Ready For Review!” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
I have two accounts set up with MAIl and my vintage marketing account is the only one that I am unable to view the emails in the sent box.
Mail using POP
Thanks!
Billy

This error message indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the account's Sent mailbox has some corruption.
Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Sent Messages.mbox.
Move the Sent Messages.mbox to the Desktop.
When re-launching Mail, a new Sent Messages.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder when sending the next message with this account.
This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again and not risk losing any new sent messages with this account while working on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and hopefully recover all existing sent messages.
Control-click on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
List the package content file names and size of each here.
This information is required to determine the next step to take to recover all messages.

Formatting of incoming mail

Lately some incoming mail arrives with incredibly wide text lines. Is there a way to control this? Is there an easy way to reformat a message in my inbox so I can read it without paging over to finish each line? Thanks.

Are the problem messages received messages that were
forwarded by the sender or newly composed messages by
the sender?
To check if the received message was formatted in
HTML, with the message open, at the menu bar go to
View > Message. If the received message was formatted
in HTML, Plain Text Alternative will be an available
selection.
If available, select Plain Text Alternative to see if
this resolves the problem.
If so, the problem is caused by the sender using HTML
formatting.
Thanks. This worked with a text-only message that was a reply to an email by me. Don't know how it got into HTML, but that fixed it.
The other one is not forwarded, but appears to have been cut and pasted from an email received by the sender. The text is reformatted effectively when I select "plain text alternative," but of course I lose the graphics.
Thanks for your help.

Incoming mail fonts changed

For some reason, all my incoming mail comes in with an Arial bold font that is very hard to read. The same thing has happened on random web pages (yahoo, google, amazon). Any ideas how this happened and how to change them back?
Thanks,
Jtk

Were all received messages composed in HTML?
With a received message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and if Plan Text Alternative is an available selection, this indicates the message was composed in HTML. If available, select Plain Text Alternative and all text will be converted to the font you have chosen at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors > Message Font.
When a message is composed in HTML, the sender controls the formatting and the Mail.app does not include a preference setting to automatically convert all text composed in HTML to Plain Text for received messages.

Incoming Mail Server

Just bought an imac. Trying to set up email.
Is it at all possible to view my live.com.au hotmail email through the email provided on desktop?
I've tried but have no idea what the required 'incoming mail server' is. Anyone aware if this is possible???
Cheers

Hi
This page has the server settings you need.
