Apple Mail didn't automatically get eMails when server changed

Our company (primarily PC and using Outlet for eMail) changed from the internal server of webmail.abc.com to webmail.xyz.com (not the actual ones of course) -- and my 1400 INBOX eMails and 735 SEND eMails were gone-- only the most recent ones were there.
OK so I had a copy on the Mac's HD - I imported them as Apple MAIL folders-- it took a while but NOW I SEE THAT the SEND mailbox has all the imported eMails dated with today's date, December 2, 2013. (The sidebar shows the correct date and if I forward them the date is correct, but not when I open them).
IS THERE A BETTER WAY to import (reimport?) these SEND messages?
ANOTHER PROBLEM just discovered: When I go to the OUTLOOK (by using "VIEW" on the Mac to open Windows 7 Professional on my Mac) - most of the INBOX messages and all of the SEND messages that I imported are now DUPLICATED THERE!! What a mess.
How to do this "correctly"
Any messages from today are not duplicated of course, and they have the correct date on them, so this is not a critical-critical problem, but sure is ridiculus to have duplicate messages from 1 Sept 2013 until 25 Nov 2013… And if they should change things again, I'd like to know how to import things cleanly, not like this mess…
Thanks for any comments!
Still not easy being a MacUser in a Windows world…

NOTE: A typo: That should be OUTLOOK for eMail (not Outlet… I must be thinking about cyber-Monday…

Shared Reminders: How do I stop getting emails when changes are made?

My wife and I both have iPhone 5's that we bought 2 weeks ago. We are sharing a calendar and a "Grocery" list in reminders. I have everything set up where it is working properly but I keep getting emails when a change is made to the grocery list. I don't get emails when there are changes to the calendar.
I want to stop getting emails when there are changes made to our grocery list but I am not sure how to do it. We both have icloud accounts and we both have checked the box under preferences in my calendar for "in app notifications" for icloud invitations. When I open Reminders in icloud I don't see a preferences for reminders.
If it helps , or makes any difference, my wife has a yahoo mail account and I have a hotmail account. She does not get emails about changes being made.
thanks

Did you try to switch Push "off" and fetch to "manually"? This way no mail is delivered until you choose to open the mail app. The moment you open Mail on your device, your mail account will be checked and if any, mail will be delivered.
Fetch New Data
This setting lets you turn Push on or off for MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo!, and any other push accounts on iPhone. Push accounts deliver new information to iPhone whenever new information appears on the server (some delays may occur). You might want to turn Push off to suspend delivery of email and other information, or to conserve battery life.
When Push is off, and with accounts that don’t support push, data can still be fetched—that is, iPhone can check with the server and see if new information is available. Use the Fetch New Data setting to determine how often data is requested. For optimal battery life, don’t fetch too often.
Turn Push on: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then tap to turn Push on.
Set the interval to fetch data: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then choose how often you want to fetch data for all accounts.
To conserve battery life, fetch less frequently.
Setting Push to OFF (or setting Fetch to Manually on the Fetch New Data screen) overrides individual account settings.

Apple Mail - outlook account stopped getting new messages

Apple Mail has suddenly stopped
Getting a ton of:

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

How to stop preview window from automatically getting focus when you move up/down the message list.

Since updating (my TB was a few versions old) to 31.2, the preview window automatically gets focus when I move up/down the message list. I'm assuming this is a new "feature". Is there a way to shut this off and leave the focus on the message list so I can navigate up/down like before?

You are referring to the 'Message Pane' which displays selected opened emails below the list of emails. It is not a 'preview'.
When you select an email by either using mouse to click on an email in the list or using the arrow keys to select emails up and down the list, you are selecting an email to open and read. That is why it is being opened in the Message Pane so that you can read it.
If you select an email in the list and then cllck anywhere else including in the Message Pane, then you will have moved focus away from the list and the strong highlight on email in list is reduced to paler highlight.
When you click on an email in the list, the email becomes highlighted, at this point you can use eg: arrow keys to move up and down the list.
If you are performing single left click on email in list and then do nothing else and the strong highlight auto changes to paler highlight.
Check you do not have a conflict with an addon by starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode.

Is there a way to set the iPad Mail app to only get email manually, not automatically when the app is opened?

I usually don't use my iPad Mail app to check my email, but sometimes I go into the Mail app just to send a test email or check an attachment in the Sent folder or some such, and every time I enter the app, Mail checks for new email. Which means it ends up downloading five hundred emails or so if I haven't been to the app in a while. Annoying! I haven't been able to find a setting that will stop Mail from checking for new Mail when I go into the app; is there such a setting?

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

Email sent from Apple Mail to Outlook, recipient gets 2 versions

When I send an email from Apple Mail to my Outlook Express and open it in Outlook it shows two versions of the email. First is formatted the way I sent it (Rich Text) and then below that is the same message in Plain Text with an line (HR) between them.
I don't see any settings in either Mail or Outlook to change this. Only time it doesn't happen is if I send it as Plain Text to begin with.
(ps. read as Plain Text is not selected in Outlook)

You are typically "the man" on such issues, but I believe Apple has said some place that their RTF is only a subset of HTML? I know it gets converted to HTML like encoding, but did not think it is full HTML?
It's true that when composing in Mail you only have access to those parts of html that Apple has provided an interface for, so there are various html things you cannot do. But those things you can do, like choose the font, font size, font color, etc. are done with standard html codes, the Content-Type header of a "rich text" message says "text/html", and the message source starts out with the codes < html > < head > < body > like any other html message would.

How do I get Apple Mail to NOT automatically check for new messages?

Under General, I have it set to Manually, under each Gmail account (2) I have UNchecked the "include when automatically checking for new messages" under "Advanced", but it still checks automatically. Are there other settings that effect this behavior? I want it to ONLY check manually.

It seems to be impossible to stop the automatic push - I found another email client that permits me to access gmail via pop3, and that permits several things that Apple Mail is deficient in (as far as I'm concerned) - permits delete of email on Gmail without having it deleted on my laptop, and does not permit autpmatic push. I need access sto ALL my email under MY organization structure on my laptop, even when I do not have internet access, and Apple mail does not permit me to manage things my way (neither does gmail).

Apple Mail - Load images for some email addresses automatically

Is it possible in Apple Mail to put some email addresses on a white list so that the images within their emails always load?
I don't want all images to load for every email I get, but I find it an annoyance to have to often load images from contacts I already trust.

AppleScript to the rescue! Thank you Linc Davis!!!
Still find it strange Apple doesn't have this built into the Mail interface as an option and have to run a script [grumble].

Mail: Forwarding: Original Sender Gets Email as Well?

I haven't been using Mail very long -- I used to use Eudora for decades and it was my definitely favorite email app. I hated Outlook et. al and when I bought my MacBook Pro and it was running 10.5.8, well, I just could not get Eudora to work. So I reluctantly had to switch to Mail, which I hated then, and hate even more now.
A couple of times, I was horrified to see that when I forwarded email from someone to my wife, and perhaps added a comment with the quoted text of the email, the original sender whose email i was forwarding got the email -- with my comment -- as well!
Since I don't know what's going on, I don't know how to explain it, but here's an example. Someone emailed me about taking some lessons (I teach Japanese). I replied and said I couldn't take her right now, which wasn't true -- she was already asking for a group discount for two people and I know the type and I just didn't want to bother with it, so I said I was too busy.
Then, I forwarded the email she had sent me, with the request for the discount, to my wife. I specifically chose the "Forward" button, my wife's address appeared in the address box, and I included some snide comment about why the woman was asking for a discount on a discount, as I'm already way cheaper than most turors.
Still with me?
Then, later on I changed my mind and replied to the woman and told her I could fit her in, but she'd have to pay the full price. I BCCd my wife in on this email (Bcc means "Blind CC" -- meaning, as I understand it, that the main person recieving the email only sees their address in the header, and possibly "and other recipients," but not anyone else's email address or anything like that.
So, we go back and forth over various things, and occasionally I forward the woman's email to my wife, again, with comments, that I OBVIOUSLY don't want this woman to see.
Okay, no problems there -- before I click "Send" I make sure my wife's address, and ONLY her address, is in the address field, as I'm just forwarding an email.
Yet today, when I went to check what time this person is coming, I see all the emails that we've ever exchanged including the very first one, all one after another -- her emails, my replies etc. But then, in the middle of all these, I suddenly see the email I forwarded to my wife with the snide comment in it! How the **** did it get in there, and is it possible that email was also sent to this woman as well, so she read my comment?
Other odd things have happened when I've forwarded things to my wife -- a reply, perhaps, from someone we both know but with my previous emails, NOT MEANT to be read by my wife, somehow in the chain!
Now I'm ultra paranoid. Has this woman received those emails I sent to my wife (I thought) and read my snide comments? Why on erth would Mail include, in this bck and forth with this woman -- maybe ten emails in all, suddenly a forwarded email to my wife? It should not be in the chain at all, since it was NOT sent to the woman, merely forwarded to my wife.
Is Mail sending emails to people with their email addresses being visible in the address fields without my knowledge? Has this woman read my snide comments (and my wife's replies to them!) and even if not, why are those back-and-forths with my wife doing in the same chain as the emails to this woman? They technically should have no connection to the woman, since they were nit addressed to her, merely forwarded.
And are people seeing who I'm Blind CCing? Mail certainly is an effed-up app -- it's very badly putr together and just serves to remind me that Apple has really put some horrific software into their systems over the years, and seemingly with every new iteratioon and every new OS, the apps just get worse and less intuitive, not the opposite, with NO WAY to downgrade. If I had my way, this MacBook would be running Tiger. with iMovie from 2004 (same for all the iLife apps -- they've degenerated into Microsoft-like unusable messes).
But I'm seriously worried about this Mail issue -- the last thing I want is for people to be receiving emails that I'm not aware are being sent.
And I REALLY wish Eudora functioned on this machine -- I don't know why it doesn't but it keeps giving me error messages. But that's a separate problem.
Anyone else experienced anything like this?

Thanks, guys . . .
I kind of knew that Mail couldn't possibly be sending emails to people without my being aware of it but I just wanted to double check.
As far as the other email programs go, for some insane reason all the ones I try (Thunderbird, for one) have problems connecting with my SMTP (outgoing) server. In one case, there's no way to change my account setting from IMAP to POP . . . the way these programs are set up, just configuring your settings requires a B.S. in network technology . . . every time these things happen, I end up on the phone with the local ISP for two hours and most of them have no idea what a Mac is . . .
I think in this case I wll just stick wth the Devil I Know. Every email program has its drawbacks and Mail is clunky and unintuitive but thank God, it integrates with SpamSieve, the only junk mail killer that really, really works (I just learned how WELL it works when I tried Thunderbird and it downloaded all the mail I'm REALLY getting s opposed to the mail that I end up seeing -- for every legit email that SpamSieve lets through, there are at least 75 that it doesn't. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm inundated with at LEAST 400 junk emails A DAY for my two accounts and without SpamSieve I'd be in the First Circle of ****, but I digress).
It's been a year now with Mail and although I despise it at least now I think I'm getting used to it, and your reassurances about people getting unwanted mail definitely removed my last doubts.
I'll stick with Mail, since the others don't look exactly like champs either, and just pray Apple doesn't "Upsdate" anything for a good long while.
Cheers, mates
Nick

SMTP settings not working on Apple Mail but work on other email clients like Sparrow

Apple mail constantly gives me "Could not connect to SMTP server" while other email clients have not problem connecting to the same server using the same credentials. And yes I've checked my login name / pw. many times. Same exact settings on all clients. Everything works, while Apple Mail doesnt. I've been using Apple Mail app for a while with my other accounts. For some reason here, it can't connect. Any ideas?
OSX 10.8.4 Macbook Retina.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Have to quit Apple Mail to receive new IMAP emails

I am using IMAP email services from Cox Communications. When I leave Apple Mail running on my MacBook Air it will not receive any new emails. Only when I quit Mail and relaunch the app will it receive the new emails. What boggles my mind is it works perfectly on my iPhone and iPad? What is causing this hang up with Apple Mail when all my settings are the same as they are in my iPhone and iPad? This has been a problem since I began using IMAP back when I was running Snow Leopard. Very frustrating, any ideas?

This is also one of my problems with Leopard (among others like missing 'new mail' sound and - since 10.5.2 - dropping Airport connections). I have a Fastmail account and while IMAP seems to work fine with it for a while after having started Mail (as verified by sending mails from the web interface of one of my other email accounts to the Fastmail account), it stops responding to new Mail after I leave it alone for a while (20 min or so).
Manually checking for new mail doesn't help. When I open Mail's activity window by pressing 'cmd+0' I can see that it does connect to the server when I check manually, but it behaves like there is no new mail available. And yes, it is configured to use the IDLE command. Only restarting Mail.app will fetch the new mail.
On my mobile phone (Nokia E61i) this works perfectly, as soon as I get a new mail my phone notifies me of it immediately, so the IDLE command feature of the server works.
I'm really starting to be very disappointed by Apple. This is a standard feature of every decent mail client, this really has to work, and not only with .Mac accounts. I have installed Thunderbird now and while that indeed seems to work better I would hate to switch because Mail.app is really much more nicely integrated into the system. But if these problems persist I might end up having to do just that.

How do I make the font automatically get larger when it come to my screen?

I am a senior citizen and I need a large font. I found out how to make the font automatically get larger sometime ago but have forgotten how it was done. I want the font automatically get larger
each time a page come to my screen. For example, if I am in yahoo
email when I go into my inbox I would like for the font to be larger
without my having to do anything.
It seems to me that I went into "Tools" and got that done onetime but that does not seem to work now.
Thank you.
Bernard

You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
