A small Mail bug...

When I write an email and hit send, and then compose a new one... if I'm still typing in the subject line of the second email, then it erases itself as soon as the first email finishes sending!
Odd?
Does it every time!
Anyone else?

I've used this several times and had some kind of response once it was confirmed or debunked.
HTH.

Yahoo Mail Bug

I recently read the Macworld article on fixing the Yahoo Mail Bug when sending email with Mac Mail. I have a question since I have the exact problem he writes about.
I changed the settings like Yahoo asked me to do.
I double checked them after reading the article. I was able to easily find how to "enable SSL for my POP server and override the default POP port with port 465"
But I am not sure how to:
"Enable SSL for your SMTP server and select to override the default SMTP port with port 465."
Where do I find the SSL for the SMTP? I have already looked into the Mail > Preferences. There I find the POP server settings, but no SMTP. ???
I get my mail from att / yahoo....just can't send via my Mail app.
THANK you for any help.
Margie

Thank you very much for your quick and kind response. I appreciate it and have fixed the problem. I didn't see the Advanced options prior to your email for the SMTP ~ and you've helped me considerably. Thanks

Yosemite outgoing mail bugs

I've had a host of brand new outgoing mail bugs again. I've truned off the auto-detect options in mail pref MANY times and somehow they just keep coming back. Yahoo is especially affected. I'm stuck in the hospital trying to get paper-work to lawyers and accountants to try and wrap up affairs and this issues is making it difficult to even know what's going out and when. I paid for the dependability/ reliability of an Apple product, and feel cheated. It shouldn't take decades for Apple to be able to include a reliable mail client in it's OS. Seems like the new crop of outgoing errors started up again around new years and hasn't abated yet. Tried reinstalling the OS from recovery window hoping mail would come along for the ride -- and got a message that the servers weren't available -- to try again later. Well I've tried over the course of several days -- al with the same result. MBP is about to become "spare parts" and I'm looking at a chrome system for my home with a good NAS server for my needs. Brand loyalty can be lost over time.
Me- two MBP - 2011. Shopping now for new dev machine.
Household - one 1Phone 6 for partner, 1 iPhone 3gs for me
Household - 3 2nd gen iPads- wifi only
Household -1 airport extreme
Household - 2 time capsuls - one is new, the other a couple of years old
Household - 1 Apple TV
Household - 3 airport express units to play music around the house
ME - developer with more than 5 apps in App Store.

Easy fix that worked for me instantly: Click Connection Doctor when the dialogue box opens. Double click the text in details. Click Advanced tab. Change username from "johndoe @ gmail.com" to simply "johndoe". And to be extra cautious, re-enter your password.
This can also be achieved by going to Mail-->Settings-->Accounts.
If that doesn't work, perhaps go back to Mountain Lion and wait this issue (and a few others) out for a couple months. Please let me know if this works for you.

Spinning cursor mail bug

Every once in a while after a restart; I'll get what I call the New Mail/Widget bug; I can't open compose new message in mail; (spinning cursor) and the yellowpages widget has no text input field.
I solve the problem with a simple restart or a combo update.
Im just curious as to what the cause of this problem is? A bad bootup?
thx

Yellow pages widget? Did I miss an iPhone update or are you in the wrong forum?

IPhone e-Mail bug: Text cut off below a picture

Hi Guys,
Just discovered a very annoying bug in iPhone's mail client: If you are creating a new e-mail and paste a picture into it, the text below the picture will be cut off completely. So if you have a mail: "text before [PICTURE] text after" then it will only send: "test before [PICTURE]" and the "text after" will be dissapeared to the thin air.
This is rather annoying and I would consider it as a serious bug.
Tamas
PS: I use iPhone 5 and iOS 6.1 and use Exchange mail settings for accessing Gmail (to get push notifications from Gmail)

Hi 1980LND,
Thanks for your help, I am not convienced if backup and restore would help. In the meanwhile I have found few discussions about this from 2010 -- Apple blames Microsoft Outlook protocol for this, but in my opinion this is wrong. If that is a known bug Apple should really warn their customers about losing data if they try to do that. Or just fix it even if Microsoft broke some RFCs. But yeah, with a message box with the warning "Due to a bug in Outlook protocol you are going to lose your text below the picture. Do you really want to continoue and lose the text below your picture? [I am Dumb Yes] [God No!]" would be sufficient, just do not let me hang and wonder where my text evaporated.
Thanks again
Tamas

N8 IMAP e-mail bug when deleting mail

Bug :
When I open my IMAP (Google) mail with N8's native mail client (configured as IMAP because push e-mail still isn't fixed on the N8 after 3 months of usage !!!) it often starts syncing. When I delete an e-mail before the sync is over, it doesn't get deleted ... allthough it dissappears from the inbox ...It IS still showing up in the widget however. When closing and reopening the mailclient again .. it reappears in the inbox.
So mail can only be really deleted when waiting for the sync to finish.
This is BAD programming ! Please fix

Hi Netherlands,
Many, many rules active. Perhaps 100. None of which use the action "Delete Message." I have had these rules enforced for quite a long time. Years. Also I've ruled out a rules problem since their application is fairly instant. I've seen these E-mail. Gone back and replied to them. Gone back and seen them again and THEN they disappear.
Negative on the Auto Synch feature: it is not nor ever has been checked.
Thanks for your time and response.
Con mucho Appreciado,
Wm

Apple Mail bug...

Hello.
Since I upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion, I keep having a specific bug with Mail.
After I erase e-Mails, I go into the Trash folder and it's empty. If I get back to my e-Mails folders, the messages I erased are once again there!
Basically, I send them to trash and they get back to the original folder! I'm currently on OS X Yosemite, and this bugs persists! Sometimes, though, Mail works perfectly.
Also, until OS X Snow Leopard, Mail had this icon, that showed each folder being 'updated'; I mean, showed each folder's content being transferred. After upgrading to OS X Lion, that icon disappeared. Is there a way to bring it back? I mean, activate it? Or is it gone for good?
Are there any alternatives to the Mail app on Mac App Store?
Thank you for any information you may give me.
All the best.

Hello.
(I can't believe it took me two months to write this...)
I did has you suggested. I rebuild all of my accounts.
At first it seemed to have solved my problem... but, several days later, it all started to happen again.
It takes forever for Mail to get my new messages... sometimes it takes more than thirty minutes...
I only started having this problem after upgrading to OS X 10.7 (currently on OS X 10.10.1).
This is one of the things that make me miss OS X 10.6...
Thank you for any new suggestion you may give me.
All the best. :-)

Serious Apple Mail BUG!

Bug
Whenever a computer is not connected to the internet and email has been written in Apple Mail while it's in offline mode and the application closed and then re-opened in "Offline" mode, Mail attempts to send mail sitting in the outbox nevertheless. Resulting in the first message in the Outbox queue for each SMTP used being automatically opened and the following error message.
*not able to send images to thread.
Since I use three different SMTP servers potentially three email windows can open when opening Apple Mail while in "Offline" mode. That means I have to click the "Close Window" button three times every time I open Apple Mail during the time I am not connected to the internet. Not everyone, including me, with a PowerBook, which is meant to be mobile, has internet access at all times.
How could this have possibly been overlooked? This has been a bug in all versions of Apple Mail!! Please FIX IT as it's irritating enough to force one to start sending snail mail or worse use Microsoft Entourage.
SIncerely,
John Prokos

Thank you for your suggestions, which is exactly what I was looking for. I have sent a feeback on Mail to Apple as you suggested. I am not sure that will make a difference but there is always hope.
Regarding your suggestion of saving email to the Draft folder… that would be a great solution but opening every email I had written during the week so I could send them off one by one is equally as irritating. I do wish there was a send button in the main window so I could group select email and send them off without having to open each one.

Mountain lion printing mail bug

In Mountain Lion, a message in Mail with enlarged font will not print with enlarged font, but with the orginal smaller font. Albeit the enlarged font displays in Mail, it does not displayin the print window or in print preview. For example, after enlargment in Mail, a 3-page message displays in the print window and preview and prints in the orginal smaller font as 5-pages, but with 2-pages blank. I did not have this probelm with Snow Leopard or Lion.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

SMTP Mail Bug?

I've tried to insert an SMTP mail account into my iPhone, but each time I try to enter data, the phone resets to its main menu.
Specifically, when I enter a 'password' for 'outgoing mail', any follow-on touch will cause the phone to return to the main menu. I have two other mail accounts set up and working just fine (.Mac and GMAIL), but this account requires a password for outgoing mail SMTP authentication - and that's where the iPhone stumbles. Has anyone else run across this bug?
[Interestingly, I have a password entered for incoming mail, and the phone does fine at receiving mail from this account.]
Thanks for any suggestions.

Not sure where the problem lies but .Mac's SMTP server and Gmail's SMTP server is password authenticated.
Reverting to the Home screen indicates an application crash.
Try an iPhone reset and if no change, try deleting and then re-entering the account.
If you are also accessing this account with the Mail application on your Mac, have you tried transferring the account settings from your Mac to your iPhone via your iPhone's sync preferences with iTunes?

Known Mail Bugs?

1) I have Mail preferences set to retrieve new messages every 5 minutes. But whenever I click on Get Mail, it seems to find several messages not yet retrieved and there is a progress bar showing the number of messages being retrieved. Also, these numbers seem to be daily totals such as "15 of 25", but I can find no explanation of exactly what those numbers mean. My conclusion is that Mail is NOT getting new mail every five minutes, but waiting unitl i click on Get Mail to query my mail servers.
2) Fairly often, when I click on a message header in my message list, all that displays in the message pane is the subject and details of the message but not the contents. I have to quit and restart Mail to get the proper behavior.
Are these known bugs?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
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. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Yahoo Mail bug with Apple mail?

Hi,
Im using Mail to send and receive my yahoo mail.
Lately, my mail is taking approx 4 hours to be delivered when sent from apple mail.
Ive read that there is a bug when sending to the yahoo servers.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is there a solution?
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue ever since updating to 10.5.2. Yahoo is delivering very slowly if at all. Indeed I've had more undelivered messages than delivered. Have deleted and re-created my Yahoo mailbox to no avail. Other solutions?

E-mail bug

I'm facing the problem, that if I click on a new email while it is still downloading, the outcome will be something like that: The email can't be read anymore.
Looks like a bug in Apple mail. Does anybody else have made the same experience?
Thank you

Hi EightHolding
I've seen this before. Go to Mail.app > pick the message in question > click on "View" in the menu bar > Message > choose Best Alternative or Next Alternative, until you can read the eMail.

Previous Recipients - Mail Bug

Previous Recipient removal doesn't work in the long run. If a previous address becomes obsolete, theoretically, you can remove it in Previous Recipients under the window column.
However, they keep coming back. This is very annoying because it results in misaddressed emails.
Mail seems to remain full of little bugs like this. Too bad.
Jim

I have a similar problem. I can get rid of previous recipients on my Mac, but they stay around on my iPhone. I recently switched to MobileMe. The previous recipients problem dates back to before switching to MobileMe when I was syncing manually with iTunes.

Mail Bug - iOS 5.0.1 / iPhone 4

Hi everyone - Just noticed something weird; setup a new Samsung Galaxy S2 for a co worker, and we iPhone users cannot reply to her emails, the app crashes.
I think I've narrowed it down to the signature created by her phone on emails.
Let's say I send her an email, she responds back, at the bottom her phone puts the following line in the bottom of the email:
Sent from my Samsung smartphone on AT&T
I get her email, I hit reply, I type the message, hit send, and mail immediately crashes/exits
Go back in, the message never sent, never shows replied, etc.
If she deletes the "Sent from my Samsung smartphone on AT&T" I can reply to the email just fine, no crashes etc.
The email itself when viewed from a client has nothing weird to it; there's no icons/attachments/etc.. literally just the plain text that says it was sent from a Samsung phone.
I tried calling apple to talk to someone, maybe submit a bug report, but my phone is over 90 days old and apparently it costs $30 to let them know there's an issue. Happens on multiple iPhones, including a brand new 4S.
Has anyone else had this issue before?
Obviously I can just edit out the signature in her settings, but it's extremely weird.

You can submit the feedback to Apple here:
