"Â" characters in email messages

"Â" character shows up in my email messages from exchange server to iPAD
Any ideas what is resulting in this as well as what a possible solution might be?

This indicates an encoding mismatch (e.g. utf8 being sent as latin-1). There is no way to switch encodings on an iPad, so any fix would have to be at the Exchange server.

Strange characters in email messages

my email messages have text characters that I cannot read. This is what the messages look like:
Xä•Aä[[å{A•b@{~ and so on.
I'm sure it is a simple key punch solution or mail preferences setting but I have tried everything I can think of. If anyone can solve this problem quickly for me I would appreciate it greatly.

I think e-mail only allows only ASCII characters in certain fields? I think you'd have to read the email RFC to find out the details of that.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html
That's a start, but there are certain extensions to that, I think, that might atler things... Otherwise, you'd have to check thru the JavaMail API docs and see if there's an encoding setting somewhere.

Why Outlook email messages show unreadable characters

When you receive a new email in Outlook, you may see unreadable characters in the email message body. This issue could be caused by one of the following reasons on Outlook client side:
The email you received is converted to plain text format or a different encoding by a virus scanner.
This always happens when you are using characters (Such as apostrophes, double quotes, dashes, and ellipsis) supported by the "Smart Quotes" feature. When the email you received is converted to plain text format or a different encoding by a virus
scanner, the character is converted from the ASCII character to a Unicode character, which is not supported on the recipient’s side.
To prevent this issue from happening, we can turn off the “Smart Quotes” Feature in Outlook:
1. Open Outlook 2013.
2. Click File > Options > Mail.
3. Click Spelling and AutoCorrect button.
4. In the Editor Options window, click AutoCorrect Options button to open the AutoCorrect dialog.
5. Click AutoFormat tab, and then clear the check box before “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes” under Replace heading.
6. Click OK.
The issue may be related to font substitution when a change is made to the Web Options in Microsoft Word.
If a change is made to the Web Options in Microsoft Word, registry data under the following key may be configured incorrectly:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Internet\Fonts
This problem has been seen to occur when the Latin string value under the \Fonts key was empty (no value).
We can check the Web Options setting in Word via:
1. Start Word.
2. Go to File > Options > Advanced.
3. Scroll down to the General section, click Web Options button.
4. Switch to Font tab.
To resolve the problem, we need to delete the \Fonts registry key. To do this, please follow:
1. Exit Word.
2. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type regedit and press Enter.
3. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Internet\Fonts
4. Right-click the Font key and select Delete.
5. Click Yes and exit Registry Editor.
The sender used an e-mail program that did not mark messages with a language encoding (character set), or marked messages with an incorrect encoding setting.
In this case, we will see unreadable characters when we open the received message in our Outlook. For example, European regional characters (like German) require UTF-8 encoding protocol. So if the encoding in your environment is set to ASCII, the regional
characters will not be available.
To resolve this issue, we need to change the encoding in Outlook to which will display your message correctly.
1. Double-click to open the message you received.
2. Click Actions button in the Move group under Message tab.
3. Click Other Actions > Encoding.
4. Click More and select the correct encoding setting for the email.
5. After you finish reading the message, close the message, and click Yes button to save changes to the message.
When we send an email with Outlook, we can set Outlook to automatically select encoding for outgoing email messages to increase the possibility that the recipient receiving the message will see all the characters rendered properly, even if they run older
e-mail programs. By default, Outlook 2013 will automatically select an optimal encoding for outgoing e-mail messages. We can change the settings here in Outlook 2013: File > Options > Advanced > International Options section.
Something you may need to know when you set the encoding settings:
* The Unicode (UTF-8) character enables the complete range of characters on all computers. It’s the official IANA code for the UTF-8 character encoding.
* Western European (ISO) and Western European (Windows) character set can be read by almost all computers.
* If you are using a language other than English, you must choose the correct character set for that language, or the characters you need will not be displayed correctly.

The "problem" is not really a problem. I send and receive emails fine. But the in the panel between the Inbox (message queue) and the reading pane this is displayed:

Can no longer save email messages to my files

Before upgrading to Mavericks, I could open an email message from a client, click Save As, select a folder, then save the message as a text file to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. It seems I can no longer do that. I always get a Mail error message saying "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."(Even when the name is already shorter than that, I go through the exercise of shortening it.) After doing that, I click Save. Then I get an error saying "Error: Could not save to path...." which, incidentally, goes haywire part of the way through and takes it down a path that is a completely wrong folder for another client. Regardless, it doesn't save.
I've tried completely renaming the file. I've tried everything I can think of.
This used to be SO SIMPLE: Just click Save As, select the appropriate folder, then click Save.
In Mavericks, do I need to convert this email message into a Word document in order to save it to a folder?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

E52 can't use non-US characters in sent messages w...

This is the most frustrating limitation in the new Nokia Messaging 2.0. I upgraded from E60 because I wanted the new email and messaging, only to find that together with the improvements (like using other folders besides the Inbox), Nokia "blessed" us with this terrible omission.
While I can write an email message using T9 in my language (romanian) which works fine and uses romanian characters, after the message is sent, it simply could not be read at the destination because all non-US characters are replaced with the "?" character. The old Mail for Exchange from E60 worked so well here!
So I cannot use T9 prediction and I am forced to use only US characters in order to compose an email message! Very clever programming, isn't it?
Note that reading non-US characters from received emails is working fine (well, almost... if the message is using the old incorrect characters from Windows XP - ş and ţ with cedilla, corrected in Vista and Windows 7 - ș and ț with comma. I hope Nokia will follow Microsoft and correct the characters, too).
Other account types (tested yahoo and gmail) do not have this problem, only Exchange.
So, I am going to regret buying another Nokia? Or is anyone really listening?

I don't have this setting in the email application. But as I know, html with Exchange is working only with the 2007 version, my server is still 2003 so I think in my case it's plain text only.
But I'm telling again: good old (and now starting to miss) E60 with MfE worked very well!

Accented characters in email fields

I'm using this script to have email sent to me through a mail form:
<?php
// initialize variables for To and Subject fields
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Een testmail';
$from = $_POST["from"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$comments = $_POST["comments"];
// build message body from variables received in the POST array
$message = "Van: $from \n\n";
$message .= "Email: $email \n\n";
$message .= "Bericht: $comments";
$message = stripslashes($message);
//convert flash line breaks
$message= str_replace("\r", "\n", $message);
$message=nl2br($message);
// add additional email headers for more user-friendly reply
$additionalHeaders = "From: $from <".$email.">\r\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Reply-To: ".$email."\r\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n";
// send email message
$OK = mail($to, $subject, $message, $additionalHeaders);
// let Flash know what the result was
if ($OK) {
echo 'sent=OK';
else {
echo 'sent=failed&reason='. urlencode('Er is een probleem met de server. Probeer het later nog eens.');
?>
The problem is that I can't get accented characters appear into the From: cc: bcc: fields. For example, when I fill the From field with 'René' it appears as 'RenX' in the From: field. I've set everything to utf-8 but that doesn't seem to matter. When I receive an html text mail, the From: fields displays accented characters as strange codes, like RenA@ or RenX for René.
In the message text itself it varies: it either displays René when the mail is viewed as plain text mail, or RenA@ when the mail is views as html text. How can I get accented characters appear inside email fields too? And also in the body text when the email is viewed as html text?

It comes down to this. Since flash outputs in utf-8 I used utf-8 in here too. But narrowing it down to the most basic part:
<?php
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset= UTF-8\r\n";
$headers .= "From: René <[email protected]>\r\n";
$OK = mail('[email protected]', 'A question', 'René is my name', $headers);
if ($OK) {
echo 'sent=OK';
else {
echo 'sent=failed&reason='. urlencode('There is a problem with the server. Try again later.');
?>
When I view this through webmail I get to see RenX in the From field where it should be René. Changing charset to ISO8859-1 won't work either. I get RenX in the From field and RenA@ in the message part. And when I switch in webmail from text/html to text/plain it says Ren? in the message part.
How can I make it display René in all headers and message? Both in html mode and in plain text mode?

How can I calculate the total size of my email messages?

I have an iMac and MacBook Pro. I use Apple's Mail application on each computer and have three email accounts that are feeding into it. I currently synchronize everything through MobileMe. I want to know how to calculate how many MB (probably several GB!) of space my email messages are now using, as I want to upgrade to Lion on the two computers and will soon be getting a 32BG iPad on which I would like to use the Mail application as well. I'd like to know in advance if I need to pay for more than the 5GB of free storage that iCloud will give me before making these changes, as I don't want to lose my email messages. For various reasons, I'd prefer not to go the route of archiving the messages. I can't figure out how to calculate how much space the messages are currently using.

The important detail is the cylinders not the partition numbers. The partitions are simply slots where cylinder space can be assigned if its available.
The backup partition (2) represents the whole disk and shows you have 14086 cylinders available.
But you'll notice that all of those cylinders are already assigned to various partitions. So there is no free space available.

Is there any way to copy email messages from an iPhone to a computer (pc or mac)?

My pc with my mail database was formatted and the mails lost. I have about 1000 mails on my iPhone that I desperately want to transfer back to my desktop.
My mail was on a POP server and I have no copies anywhere other than on the iphone.
I am not concerned about future email messages - my question is about transferring existing messages from the iphone to a computer.
Any help is much appreciated, in have googled this to death and can't find a solution!!

Why is my mail icon not showing unread email messages?

For some reason, my mail icon is no longer showing my badge icon displaying the number of unread emails I have. Within mail, next to my mailbox, it no longer shows the number of unread emails either even though there are clearly email messages with the blue dot indicating they're unread. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Open Mail, go to top and under Mail select Preferences. Click on general and make sure where it says 'Dock Unread Count, you have it set to Inbox Only or All Mailboxes, whichever you want and that it isn't set to none. If it is already set then try cetting it to none, close mail, restart, open Mail and go and change it again from none to what you want.
Good Luck

Since 10.5.6 upgrade, email messages are garbled text

Hi,
This problem seems to have started with the latest upgrade. My email messages are coming in with garbled text. This happens in my Yahoo account where I will go to the mail website and the text there will be fine. It's only in the mail program.
Thanks in advance,
Pete.

Hi,
I have the same issue.
Although the mails seems to have been downloaded correctly parts of the parts of the message mime information is displayed as part of the mail body.
The only thing that helps is to rebuild the index of the specific mailbox (inbox in my case).
BTW: Mail of iPhone OS does NOT have this problem. Generally it handles mails MUCH better than the real OS X. Strange, isn't it.

When my iPhone 5s is paired with my 2014 Lexus Rx350 I am able to view text messages but cannot view email messages in the car display screen. My previous Blackberry Torch would read both text and email messages. Does anybody know how to fix?

When I pair my new iPhone 5S in my 2014 Lexus it displays and allows me to read the SMS messages off my phone on the car display but it does not display or allow me to read email messages. When pairing my previous Blackberry Torch the car displayed and allowed me to read both. Lexus have told me it is an Apple problem and not a Lexus problem which may be true as the BB phone worked great. Does anybody know if Apple is planning an iPhone update for this?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
