Someone who receives my mail sent from Apple Mail cannot receive attachments or read my email even though they are on a Mac using Safari. How could they be using Safari to receive or read my mail?

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. This person receiving my email, while on a Mac with Safari is reading their mail through Safari using Horde--our recent discovery. Why they chose to do that in unclear. The last email we sent, however, was miraculously read and received and the attachment was viewed with no problem after we told them our mail was coming from a Mac thriugh Apple Mail. It seems that telling them that our emails were coming from a Mac and using Apple Mail was enough to make them think that perhaps THEY were doing something not quite right. Thank you both, Level 7 and Level 5.
But thank you especially for the meteorologists in the UK for putting forth the correct routes for Sandy these last days, you probably saved a lot of lives.

TS3276 Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message." I did not delete the message.

Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message." I did not delete the message. Bug in the program, or am I missing something?

Of course they're in my Sent folder. Then why can't Apple Mail find them?

TS2446 Why my apple ID cannot use at Apps Store?

Why my apple ID cannot use at Apps Store? I have sign in then must click 'Review'?

I've tried it and I get 'none' on the payments screen.
Selecting the first free app that I found, I clicked the 'free' button underneath it :
I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
Clicked 'continue' on the 'welcome' screen
Agreed to the terms and conditions
Put in an email address on the 'Apple id' screen (the email address can't already be on an account)
And clicking 'continue' to go to the payments screen gave me :

Apple Mail cannot encoding issues (Chinese Asian Language)

I've abandon Mail for almost 2 years, 2 issues I had before is the 'disappearing mail' and the encoding problem.
Now with my new MBP 17" I decided to use Mail again. I am getting the encoding problem again.
Things I tried already:
1. set the default encoding using Terminal to "BIG5"
2. check under 'Composing' preference for 'Plain Text', uncheck 'use the same message format as the original message'
3. Tried manually setting the encoding before sending. But in few instance Apple Mail tells me that there is an Error and cannot change the encoding. Even I succeeded in changing the encoding, there is no guarantee that the other side can read it properly.
This usually happens when I 'reply' or 'forward' a Chinese email to someone. So far it happens to the HTML type email.
Still I am getting problem sending mail that Outlook can properly decode by itself. To fix this from the Oulook side, they need to open the message by double click, select encoding for the message, and pick either UTF-8 or BIG5 (if the message is BIG5, select UTF-8 and vise versa) then the message will display properly.
I know this could be an Outlook problem (probably is) but I cannot tell my customer to change encoding each time. I really need a way to do this from the Apple Mail side.
The following is just one example of HTML email I replied and turns out to be BIG-5 under Outlook, but user need to select UTF-8 to view it.

Hi xxxx...... (body of the message)
I need help here, I still like the operation in Apple Mail but this is killing me. Please help.

Thanks but I tried these already. Didn't seem to work.
I switched to Thunderbird. Took a while to convert my mailboxes (30+ of them) from emlx to mbox and loaded into Thunderbird.
Thunderbird is ok, address book really ***** since it doesn't work with the OSX Address book at all. I had to use vcf2ldif to convert address book but the Chinese character in the Address Book all became ??? in Thunderbird. And the time it takes to convert 400+ address is long (I already filtered the address book from my 1000+ contact)
Font setting in Thunderbird is not good as well. Emails in my folders are in different fonts all the time due to the difference in encoding. I just need to get used to it.
If Apple Mail can just handle encoding better, I will never switch. Both my customer and my family are having same problem, (because we all read/send Chinese Traditional email) Apple should do something. Already send email regarding this to Apple, and if there are other people with the same problem as me, pleas let Apple know about this.

Apple mail cannot send

I have used Apple mail in the past with my Verizon account. I recently upgraded to OS 10.8.4. Since then, I cannot sent mail. Connection doctor says incoming and outgoinng is OK. What do I do to get mail working again?

Check the account settings to make sure they weren't altered.
in - pop.verizon.net SSL enabled port 995 password
out - smtp.verizon.net SSL enabled port 465

G(oogle)mail and Apple Mail: Cannot receive messages

Hello,
I have a googlemail account. My email address ends with "@gmail.com".
I am trying to configure the Apple Mail application in Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar). I can send but not receive messages.
The German website says, i should set the server to "pop.googlemail.com", enter my password and use my email address "including '@googlemail.'" as username.
Well, I think that is the reason why I cannot connect to the server, my Email address is gmail not googlemail.
But whatever I enter in the respective fields (pop.googlemail.com, pop.gmail.com, pop3.....) all fails.
Stupid as it is: event copying my settings from my smartphone does not help.
What are the correct settings for me?

Thank you,
that really solved the problem.
For all German customers, who participated in the public beta test of Google Mail ("invited users") and who have an email address, which ends with "@gmail.com",
the correct servers are "pop.gmail.com" NOT "pop.googlemail.com"
and "smtp.gmail.com" NOT "smtp.googlemail.com".
Their German website is wrong in these cases. Moreother, the hint is missing, that SSL has to be activated for incoming mails as well.

New iMac: Thunderbird works OK but Apple Mail cannot receive

Just bought iMac in July 2010. Thunderbird email sends/receives fine, but Apple Mail v4.3 does not receive emails. Apple mail will send, which is received by Thunderbird. Incoming Mail Server settings good, and default mail reader is Apple Mail. Help please!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Does Mail's "connection doctor" (Window -> Connection Doctor) show you anything useful? Have you checked Mails preferences in Accounts panel, Advanced tab, to verify that things like port, SSL, and authentication are set correctly?

Since I upgraded to Maverick cannot use Iphoto '11 anymore!

Since I upgraded from Mac OX S Snow Leopard to Maverick OX S 10.9, I cannot use IPhoto '11 and Aperture 3 anymore? Can anyone tell me what the problem could be. I cannot find a way to upgrade these programs as they don't work anymore at all!
Can I put back the Snow Leopard instead, because I tried it but also that didn't work?

Can't tell you problem with no information. What version of iOhoto do you have? It should be version 9.5
Why can't you use them? What exactly happens? What exact error messages do you get?

I use CS3 design premium and cannot use the license anymore. It won't start up and I can't deactivate.

I got an error saying that Licensing stopped working. We downloaded an small .exe file (LicenseRecover), but it didn't work.
We started the computer again and we got another error, saying that we had to uninstall and reinstall. But If we uninstall, we uninstall without deactivating, so that is not an option.
This is the error we get when starting CS3 right now: You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product, or contacting your IT administrator, or Adobe customer support for help.
So I tried online customer support. Seems there is no online support anymore for CS3!
How can I get it to work again? I really need the software for my job.

If you only installed and activated the software once previously, you still have an extra activation available to you. So if that's the case you can uninstall and reinstall and reactivate using your serial number.
You can also get Adobe support thru chat to reset your activations - they are likely not available until after the weekend. Do not ask for more than that though or they will tell you they do not support installation issues for older software.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Apple mail is using my outlook database

Hi: I'm just setting up a new Macbook running 10.5 and Apple Mail 7.3. This is a work computer and it has Microsoft Outlook for Mac 14.4.5 installed. When I type an e-mail address in mail, the autocompletes that are provided are all the e-mail addresses from my Outlook Address Book. I've tried this solution http://www.marco.org/2011/09/10/adding-to-apple-mail-autocomplete to try to establish my old auto-complete file, but Mail isn't recognizing that file. It's still accessing auto-completes from the Outlook database of work contacts. Any suggestions?

Remove the account and put it back again, use Internet Accounts (in System Preferences) to do this.

Apple Mail is using Wrong default Email

Apple Mail is now displaying the wrong default email address in my inbox and I have my correct business email selected as my default. I can't figure out how to correct it or why it is happening. For example the mail in this inbox is sent to my petersonsales.net email, but it is displaying as if sent to an alternate address used for ministry:
It appears my ID is set to my company, and I'm not sure I did this either... just things are a little wonky with Yosemite...

I don't think you understand... The outgoing servers are set correctly, and even the ID appears correct when you click on the incoming mail name, but it is appearing as a different email address in the list TO field. See attached

Apple Mail Repeatedly Using Wrong Outgoing SMTP Server

Hi
SInce upgrading to Mavericks my Apple Mail is extremely confused. It is trying to send emails using SMTP servers to other accounts.
For example, one of my Gmail accounts will send using a outgoing server from my university email. The sender name works out correctly, but it is tedious to sort through finding which outgoing server will work and provide the right user name.
My me mail keeps asking which outgoing server to use.
Is there a one and done solution to this? I'm already trying to get used to Outlook and Thunderbird, but frankly did used to like Mail.

I solved this with the following steps:
Change the "Outgoing Mail Server" to "None"
Compose a new email
Click the send button
A window will come up that allows you to select the outgoing mail server (this is the same window that appeared when Mail was originally having connection issues to the mail server)
Select the outgoing server you want to use (in my case, my company's exchange server) and send the email
You should now find that the "Outgoing Mail Server" has been set back to the one it should be, and all your mail is actually being sent via this server.

Apple Mail 5 use this mailbox for

Alright, so, I have been playing with the updated Mail application in Lion. I love the new interface but I seem to be missing an important part or just unable to find it. When setting up an account to connect to Gmail's IMAP I seem to be unable to get the common folders, Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam, working in unison with Gmail's Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam labels. In the previous versions of Mail I've been able to right-click each of those folders and click "Use this mailbox for..." to which I would select the proper folder. This option seems to be missing in Apple Mail 5 or, the very least, I'm unable to find it or an equal option.
When creating an account to use with Gmail I have played with the preference checkboxes for those common folders. Leaving them checked I will get a new label created in Gmail instead of the email going into the real folder. For instance, if I delete an email it will go into my trash on the mac and it will then have the label "Deleted Messages" but not actually be in the trash in Gmail. The same goes for Sent Mail as well. If I uncheck these options then I get duplicate email in the Mail Sent folder as well as Gmail's Sent label. On top of this, if I click the sent button I in the new Mail interface I ONLY see mail I have sent from Apple Mail and not items that are in my sent mail label for Gmail. Which is annoying.
So, in short, is it possible, and if so then how, do I get Gmail and Apple Mail's Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam folders perfectly synced so that it will work like how it used to in Snow Leopard or even how it currently works on the iPhone? If I can not get this functionality then I guess I will have to say goodbye to Apple Mail which is a shame because I really love the new interface.
If this has been asked and answered/resolved can I please get a link to the discussion? I've searched but seem to be unable to find any possible answers.

It is an exchange account. In Mail>Preferences>Accounts I do not see the IMAP Path Prefix, which isn't surprising (when it is no IMAP-account).
Coming to your question, Ernie: I created this account longer ago, maybe 2 years? I created this subfolder from a Windows computer and recently made the swith for my business computer to a MBA. Great computer! Strange thing is, the mails in the subfolder are shown correctly in my iPad Mail app... Also: I created such a subfolder in my Inbox and this mail is shown correctly... Strange... For this mailbox (and for all others) the options in the dropdown menu 'use this mailbox for' etc are all greyed out...
