10.8.4 Mac Mail Sort List Doesn't Update

In Mountain Lion 10.8.4's Mac mail program, I see the list on the left side doesn't update the list preview with the most recent email as part of that thread -- so it is difficult to lknow who the most recent email is coming from. For instance, if I send an email to a client, and I copy myself -- I get to see that copy in the list preview because it came into my inbox, BUT when the person responds to that email the list preview does NOT change to reflect the most recent sender of the email or the most recent snippet of the email. It shows that the email is unread -- but is misleading because it shows the sender as myself and a snippet of my email INSTEAD it should show the most recent sender and a snippet of the most recent message... is there a preference to change this or a patch to fix ?

Does anyone on the Mac Mail or OSX Support team have a solution to this...? You can easily miss emails at a glance if you lok in the list preview and that list has not updated to reveal a snippet of the latest email in the thread....thanks for your help!

Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

I tried to figure this out myself and couldn't believe there wasn't a simple menu item to get this done. Seems there was in pre-Mavericks but not in Mavericks. Found several answers but they all reply to before Mavercks.
This is helpful and yet I'm left with "Wow! Apple really can make simple things difficult. Who would have guessed."

Export Mac Mail message list as XLS, Numbers, CSV file?

I'm wondering if there's a practical way to export the message list in my Mac Mail inbox as a spreadsheet (e.g., XLS, Numbers, CSV &c)? I figured there must be a file of this sort in my mail library somewhere, but wasn't sure where to look. Any ideas, shortcuts, quick & easy answers? Thanks!

export bookmarks to a file, open this file in safari and enter command+I. You can of course simply attach the file to your message.

Is there any way to download my Mac Mail Contact list (Addressbook)from Snow Leopard to an iPad, or iPhone?

I have an Intel iMac Model 8,1 Running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and a 4th Gen iPad. Is there any way that I can import my Mac Addressbook from my iMac to the iPad so that I don't have to manually enter over 1,100 names and email addresses?
My installed iTunes (v11.0.3) function for synchronizing the two units tells me that Contacts are sync'ed only via iCLoud, which, or course is only available with OS 7.0 and above. I cannot uppgrade my iMac above Snow Leopard without losing application compatibility on both a major contact database program, and an engineering drawing software program, with thousands of manhours and dollars worth of valuable files, that have been generated over many years past, neither software applications of which are supported by OS 10.7 and above.
I cannot believe that Apple would be so blindsighted to this type of issue and there must be some work-around.

Worked like a charm and resolved my problem totally. The only issue I had is that, unlike the Computer (Mac OS). the iPad doesn't give constant visibility to what it is doing (feedback), so I wasn't initially sure it had done anything.
When I opened my emailed message with .vcf file attached, and tapped the .vcf attachment icon, I saw activity on the icon for just a few seconds, then it reverted to the original with nothing apparently happening. After about 30 seconds, the secondary menut popped up indicating the transfer of 1200 addresses would be completed, if I approved the action. Another 10 to 15 seconds then transpired before the completed Contact list appeared on the ipad. So you must be patient, if you have a large Addressbook. That's reasonable,but unexpected lack of feedback left me wondering, like so many other things on the iPad.
THank you for the assist. Apparently Apples Mac Genius people did not know this procedure, and I will pass it on to my local Apple Store Instructor.

Mac mail receives but doesn't send

Hello,
During iPhone setup I asked that my mac mail accound info be copied over. When using the mail program I can receive emails, so I think my info came over, but I can not send. I read about the port issue with some isp so I tried over the EDGE network and it still doesn't work. This is the message I get:
" sending the message content to the server failed "
Any ideas?

You are one up on me...you can receive. When I'm home, the internet and email gives me a message"Cannot get Mail, The connection to the server, "mail.earthlink.net" failed." I thought it was an issue with my earthlink account, but when I leave home the email and internet work. I have a wireless connection, the signal is full bars, I've had ATT for years and the phone works inside my house.
What else should I be checking. Between this and the fact I can't import my memos from my Palm, I'm getting frustrated. It doesn't seem to replace my PDA, which was my primary purpose for getting it (beside the fact it's so cool)!

Mac Mail Messages List Not Scrolling Down to Reveal New Emails

No, this is not a really huge deal but it's just annoying enough to warrant a question here - and it hasn't always operated this way so something must be going on.
My inbox is telling me I've received mail properly, and the messages are definitely there...but they remain hidden above the last message I read until I scroll up.
When I look at my message list, the last message I read is sitting at the top.
In order to view the new messages I have to scroll up manually to view them.
I haven't changed any settings or preferences so no help there, unfortunately.
Thank you for any help!

I'd suggest creating a new test user account from the system preferences. Log in, open Mail, enter your .Mac settings and see how it goes.
Alternatively, you can try to reset Mail.app by renaming (for backup purposes) the following files: (This will affect your other mailboxes as well!)
Preferences: your_name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
& Mail folder: your_name/Library/Mail/
Assuming a new Mail setup actually works, post back in case you need help on importing your old POP3 messages.
If not, I've no idea what to do... Your firewall should not affect .Mac behavior. (I got to admit, I don't particularly like Mail.app's buggy IMAP implementation.)
Good luck!

IPhone 5 doesn't synchronise sent emails with Mac Mail and also doesn't mark them as read if they're opened on Mac Mail.

I never had this problem with my 4S — I can't fix the individual mailboxes under Settings > Mail > *My Email* > Advanced anymore like I used to either.
Does anyone have any idea?
Currently set to Fetch across all emails.

I think that Hotmail is a POP account so e-mails read on one phone will still look unread on another.
Check you e-mail account settings and see if it says it's an IMAP account.
If so, an e-mail read on one phone will show as read straight away on another.
To test the theory, just send a few e-mails and agree with your wife who will read which ones, then check them to see if the theory is correct

Android package contents in Flash Builder 4.5 : file list doesn't update

I keep hitting what looks like a bug in Flash Builder 4.5, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it or can help me find a workaround.
The problem occurs when I choose Export Release Build... and try to build an APK for Android. In the second screen of the wizard, under the Package Contents tab, there's a file list and you're supposed to select the files you want in the package. Simple enough. The problem is that this file list does not consistently reflect updates to the project file structure. So I usually see an outdated file list, which might or might not have all the files I actually need to put into the package.
There doesn't seem to be a way to force the wizard to rescan the project and rebuild this list. I've tried restarting Flash Builder, deleting bin-release-temp, cleaning all projects, and a few other things besides. So far nothing works. (The Flash view always picks up my changes within a few seconds.)
It seems like my only option is to use the command-line compiler. Not the end of the world, but I'd rather that the wizard just do what it's supposed to do.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked, but that doesn't seem to be the problem in my case. I've attached a screen shot showing the problem – the list of source files in the Flash view doesn't match the list of source files in the Export Release Build wizard. The red boxes highlight one of the areas where they differ.
The file I want to include is StagesLoader/assets/game/assets.swf. (The directory StagesLoader/assets is included into the project as a separate source path.) As you can see, the "rooms" folder in that directory is available in the export wizard, but "assets.swf" is not.

Google Mail in Apple Mail - Unread Counter Doesn't Update

I have a minor but annoying problem with my Google Mail email account on Apple Mail. When I receive a new email to my Google Mail account, Apple Mail displays the unread mail counter as expected. However, once I read the new email in my inbox, the email counter for the inbox sets to 0, but the counter for Google Mail (on the left hand side) remains at 1. If I then expand the Google Mail account at the left hand side, the counter updates itself without clicking the supposed unread email. This doesn't happen with other email accounts I have in Apple Mail. Any ideas?
Cheers.

Mac Mail issues after latest Security Update

After installing the latest update my Mail is acting very strange. If I open my Mail app it spins like it is retrieving mail but never gets anything and eventually acts like I am disconnected from the internet, which I am definitely not. In addition when Mail is open my Safari suddenly acts like it is disconnected from the internet, which it is not because if I close Mail and refresh the screen in Safari everything is fine and I can surf anywhere as expected, but as soon as I open Mail again Mail will just sit and spin and Safari goes back to acting like it has no connection.
Anyone else have this happening? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

It looks like either something was amiss in your system and installing the update just made things worse, or you didn't install it properly. You should start by verifying/reparing your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Read the following article for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:

Mail not showing up in Mac mail and iphone (Sky email UK)

Hi,
This relates to a post from yesterday which I thought was solved, if only… !
If I check my mail on iphone it doesn't show up later in Mac mail. I have 5 accounts set up. 3 work fine, 2 don't. My Sky email account and a domain account that is set up for forwarding via Sky.
It seems to be a problem with Sky. This other forum suggests putting "recent" into the Mac Mail user name, doesn't help. It also mentions setting up a IMAP Sky account. I have never used IMAP, always POP. If I set up IMAP on phone can I still get POP mail on my Mac?
http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-email-portal-log/17836-iphone.html#post158522
This other forum suggests unlocking the email account, never heard of that. Sounds dodgy?
http://customerforum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1285&highlight=sky
Thanks in advance, I've spent hours going through all this!
Cheers!

I had to make an IMAP account instead of POP. Now SEEMS to work…

Auto display HTML attachments in body / email sent from mac mail

Hi,
One of my clients has received an email written in MAC Mail, the email doesn't display correctly instead what would be the body of the email appears as an html attachment, he doesn't want to have to click the attachment to preview it as he doesn't have to
do this on the iphone (also an apple device hmm....), I cant see any way of making it auto display the html in the body without clicking it.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Can you confirm if the sender has this problem sending emails to other recipients?
Please logon your Webmail(or OWA), does that message display as an attachment as well?
If other Outlook recipients also see the email body as an attachment and you can verify it shows as an attachment on Web as well, I'm afraid we should blame the Apple Mail Client, since I've seen some Apple Mail users have this problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1947994?tstart=0
Kindly have the sender check if the setting like Edit > Attachments > Send Windows friendly Attachments
has been checked.
If I'm not getting this wrong, we should confirm this issue with Apple:
https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
Feel free to post back of course.

Password issues with Mac Mail-help!

I created a new email account through my internet provider (Comcast) and I can no longer access my email although it is showing up on webmail. The comcast person said I would probably have to change my password. I tried doing this on Mac Mail but there doesn't appear to be the usual place to type in new password and then confirm. I am not sure what password they are asking for. The mail account was set up so long ago that I have never used any password when checking my account. I also notice if I delete the password, the password dots are back when I open preferences up again. I don't understand this and Comcast will not help with Mac Mail questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You said you never used a password when checking you mail. You must have a password on the account, I don't see how you couldn't.
When you go to www.comcast.net and go to the webmail client, you must enter your username and password in order to get your messages. It's this username & password that Apple Mail requires in order to access your email.
If you want/need to change your password, you can do this at www.comcast.net from within the webmail client. When you are at your inbox on the webclient, on the left side of the screen there is a link for "Preferences". Clicking that will take you to another page and one of the options is "Change Your Password". That's where you would go to change your password for that specific email account.
Good luck,
Bronson
