Apple mail email marked "!!"

I received an email that was sent and dated two days before I received it. It is flagged in Apple Mail with a double exclamation point (!!). I am guessing that the two things are related. But I can't find anywhere what the "!!" means. Can anyone define it for me?

Yes, thank you. It's not a feature I was familiar with but experimented with after your previous reply. Thanks for your quick response.

How do I put a recent photo on my Apple Mail email program?

I am using OS 10.3.9
This question is for Apple MAIL email program and the emails that I send from my Desktop, not from the .Mac site.
Several years ago I did what was necessary to have my photo put automatically on each outgoing email that I send. (I realize that not everyone can see that photo; that is not the problem.)
PROBLEM: I now have more recent photos and would like to take off the old photo and replace it with a more recent photo but I forgot the procedure for doing this and can find it nowhere!
Please, can someone write down the steps that I must go through to take off the old photo and replace it with a new photo?

Dear Mulder — I went to the Help and found the following instructions:
"If someone using a .Mac mail account sets up his or her account to share pictures, when you view a message from that person in Mail you'll see the shared picture. The picture is not sent in the message itself; instead, when you view the message, Mail looks for the picture on the .Mac server. You can only view shared pictures from a .Mac account using Mail and webmail.mac.com."
However: Although I belong to .Mac and do have a .Mac email address, I rarely use webmail.mac.com. Any mail that goes there (almost nothing at all) gets forwarded to my Desktop email account. I use the Apple Mail program on my Desktop, not at the website. Would the the picture be visible then? If I send an email to myself I do see the photo... but am I the only one seeing it?

Export apple mail emails to outlook 2011

I installed Ms office 2011 in mac book pro a couple of days ago. I need to transfer emails from apple mail to outlook 2011. I see import option for apple mail in outlook import wizard. So hoe can I import apple mail emails in outlook without any data loss
as these emails are of great importance.

Outlook for Mac has no option to import from Apple's Mail application. The best suggestion I can offer is that you use an IMAP account to transfer your
messages.
Get a free Gmail IMAP account from Google and connect to the account in Mail. Drag your messages into the account to copy them to the server.
Connect to the same account in Outlook and copy your messages from the server to folders under On My Computer.
Another option is to get a third party tool that are available online.
One tool that I am familiar with is Apple
Mail Export
Or you can find more on google or yahoo for
more results
Hope this helps!

Apple Mail - Email Send Field Showing Different Data, Unable To Sort Correctly

Hi All,
I'm having a very annoying issue in Apple Mail, running 10.6. Some of the incoming mail messages are showing the sender's email address in the "From" field, rather than the person's "Name". There are also cases where this is happening, but this time the email address in the From field has angle brackets ( < and > ) around it. This makes sorting of emails by sender incorrect and broken apart.
So the three different ways it's displaying in the Mail window are:
From
Subject
John Smith
Lunch Today
[email protected]
Lunch Today
<[email protected]> <[email protected]>
Lunch Today
Here's what else I know:
- The error is NOT limited to a specific person, email address or mail domain. In other words, it has occurred differently with the same sender.
- The errors seem to occur in periods of time. In other words, it will display "correct" for a period of time (weeks or even months), then display "wrong" for a period of time. So it's not like every other message is different.
We contacted our ISP to see if they knew anything. They scratched their heads like we did, and they think that the issue is coming from the sender, rather than the mail server having a hiccup.
This is VERY frustrating, as I get lots of email in a day's time that can be time-sensitive.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

How to export Apple Mail Email Addresses..

I am going about an email-gathering process in order to analyze addresses I want to use for future marketing.
One resource of qualified leads is my 5 year old Gmail account which has all my correspondence 'banked' -
so I want to extract and put into a list form (spreadsheet, csv) - all of the sent-to and received-from email
addresses that i have accumulated. Since Gmail doesn't natively export email addresses as a list, I must
go through the process of either a POP or IMAP download to an email client. I decided to set up Apple Mail
with an IMAP configuration for the purpose of offloading all of my gmail into Apple Mail. That is currently in
progress - I am running the "sync" feature at the moment - figure it'll be a half-day or so to process through
it.
Then comes the question, which i forgot to consider - and I am not sure about this because i normally use Thunderbird...
is there a way to export all of the Emails from the Apple Mail folders once they've downloaded from Gmail - into a format
that can be 'read' by an email extraction app - i.e., .csv, or tab delimited, etc... I see stuff about "Address Book" being
exported, but nothing specifically referring to the email addresses themselves.
Hope this question makes sense and thanks for any advice or second opinion on whether there's a better way to do
what i'm trying to do.
Thanks
Mike

Hi, thanks for that info - I have this app called Email Extractor - it may read the .emlx files -haven't been able to find much documentation....been a year or two since i toyed with it andi won't know til the IMAP downloading to the email client is done before i can try it... will probably take half a day before this synch process completes as it has about 15,000 emails to process...
As for the data, I basically just need the email addresses. It would make life simpler if there were a converter that would just transform the .emlx to .csv in order for me to run the list through the Extractor parsing' app. I was kinda hoping i could export from Mail to .csv or something this app can readily read...
Thanks again,
Mike

Create Hyperlink in MS Excel that links to an Apple Mail email??

I'm thinking there should be a way to do this. Analyzing financial information, I get numerous emails everyday with information I track in Excel. What I need to do is set up a hyperlink in an Excel worksheet that when clicked, takes me to the individual email message in Apple Mail that contains the source of the information.
Since I use Gmail, I know I can link to the individual email message on Gmail's server. But Apple Mail is where I store and read my email.
If this cannot be done utilizing Apple Mail, is there another email client that permits this??
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

LinkABoo and the latest version of MailTags (currently still in Beta) let you create references to messages in Mail. I haven’t tried any of them, but I’d rather use the former for this because it’s a non-intrusive standalone application rather than a plug-in. Plug-ins may have an adverse impact on Mail’s stability.

Export Apple Mail Emails & Sub Folders to Outlook 2011 for Mac

Hello,
Could somebody please tell me how I go about exporting emails and the subfolders I have created from Apple Mail over to Microsoft Outlook 2011.
Can you also please advise if I am able to add these emails into an existing Main Identity?
Any help would be much appreciated

INFORMATION on Emailchemy from another Forum
I’ve found a way in which you can import Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 on Mac OS X Lion.
The software I’m running is Mac OS X 10.7.2 on a 2011 MacBook Pro.
You need to purchase an app called Emailchemy. It’s 29.99 for an individual license, and 49.99 for a family license. There are enterprise versions available as well.
Once you run the app, you need to do the following:
1. Export all mailboxes from Apple Mail to your desktop (or any other suitable location on your computer). You do this by selecting the mailbox, and then clicking on “Mailbox”, and then “Export Mailbox”. Save the destination, and the file is saved automatically.
2. Then you open Emailchemy and do the following:
- click on “toolbox” in the bottom left hand corner
- click on the second box on the top left hand called “advanced email conversion”
- click on “add file”
- select the folder (s) you just exported from Apple Mail (e.g. Inbox.mbox)
Now here comes the trick
- select format “apple mail 1.0 in the format option at the bottom
- then 3 sub-folders will appear “info-p.list”, “mbox” and “table of contents”
Select “mbox”
- click on “convert” and choose a save file name. Choose the format “MBOX file (standard mbox)”
- click on save
And you then have a folder created which Outlook 2011 recognizes and can import.
I just imported all my Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 – it works really well too – the formatting, attachments, etc are all there!
Hope this helps.

Apple Mail not marking mail as read after being read on iPhone

I'm currently using my Gmail account (IMAP) on both Apple Mail and on my iPhone. When I read mail on my iPhone, Apple Mail doesn't change it read mail, even after several hours, but it is changed on the server. How do I change it so that it syncs mail status?
When I read mail on Apple Mail, it gets marked as read on my iPhone.

Check the account settings with Outlook which should reveal how you created and are accessing the account with Outlook.
If you used the Gmail account preset when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail app, the account was created as an IMAP account.

How to convert Apple Mail email to pdf

I'm a relative Acrobat Pro beginner.
Like to convert emails to text recognized pdf files. Is it possible?
I've tried using Print and then Save as a PDF in Apple Mail. However, I can't text recognize the resulting pdf or convert to one. Keeps giving error message that can't convert the images.
Probably pdf 101 that I'm missing. :-(
Thanks for any tips.

The only way that I am aware of is to purchase and download either Microsofts version of Office or Outlook Stand alone for Mac. Or if you prefer you can download Open Office that is FREE and is Oen Source and has all the features of Microsoft's
http://www.openoffice.us.com/openoffice/free-open-office-download-yahoo.php?pk=8 45397
To just pay for Outlook is a little steep for most users. I think you will find using a WEB Based e-Mail will work much better for you like GMail or YahooMail rather than having it on your machine use there servers and they have many more features.

Apple Mail: Email not sending from default account

Note: Default email send worked fine in Mavericks. The issues seems to be new in Yosemite.
I have 3 emails accounts: Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo. In that order. They are placed in that order in the Accounts section of Apple Mail. They are also placed in that order in the mailbox listing under Inbox in mail.
When creating a new email, the top account, Exchange, is rarely chosen as default. Either Gmail or Yahoo are chosen...and occasionally Exchange. I send 90% of my mail from the Exchange SMTP server; now forced to manually change the outbound Account within the mail message itself almost every time.
Again, this is a brand new issue in Yosemite where it doesn't appear to recognize the default account to send email from in Mail.
Anybody else seeing this?

Hi Will, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell what you've tried, is this one you've tried...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

HELP! my emails disappeared after I modified the pop incoming and outgoing server settings in my apple mail email account. I have checked all my mailboxes--gone. How could they have disappeared? I am talking about 200 plus business emails

I have checked all my mailboxes--gone. How could they have disappeared? I am talking about 200 plus business emails. I am using Lion X.0

Thomas,
"Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it. When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account. I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN! It just deletes it - which *** for me. Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.) I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem. Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those. Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often. ;-)
Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL! ;-)

Apple Mail email just disappears

Sometimes when I get mail from people it shows up in my mailbox bt when I try to read it (or sometimes before I can) it just disappears. This has been happening even after changing webhosts and therefore the servier of the email account. Any ideas folks? I dont have a clue. I don't have any special spam filters or rules applied to people I work with, but it's their email that either disappears or just doesn't come in at all.

I had a similar probleme where I could see email ariving via the incoming progress bar, then before I could read it, it was deleted.
In my case, I think what I did was to turn off junk and spam filtering... and started that process all over again.
There is a RESET button in the Junk Mail pane in Mail Preferenes, so clicking it may be a good place to start.

Help? Apple Mail no matter what I do, marks my SENT emails as JUNK?

I've tried yours (and others suggestions) and no matter what I do Apple Mail always marks my SENT messages only as JUNK and my incoming MESSAGE I send to myself as junk. Filtering works great for everything else. My exact name and email address ARE in my address book and previous recipients list. I have my junk email filter set to all of these two criteria are not satisfied it marks it as junk and moves the message to a folder I have labeled as JUNK. I tried each of these suggestions:
1. Unchecking the box that says "Disable Junk Mail Filtering"; then quitting mail, then restarting mail, then configuring my Junk Mail to customized actions and leaving my junk mail to a folder I have as JUNK mail. No Luck.
2. I have tried the same as above, but then I hit the RESET button. No luck.
3. I went to the Apple store and configured the email filters to the way I have it and it does the same thing. It marks all outgoing mail (Sent Mail) as junk and any messages you send to yourself as junk.
I think this is just a glitch in Apple Mail as I have not seen or heard about another solution. Can't believe 10.4.8 and Apple Mail is not working perfectly. Seems like a simple glitch.
Anyone???

There is probably some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. The following procedure thoroughly gets rid of all those files, so that Mail creates them anew:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. This file stores information about what does and doesn’t constitute junk, and is what allows the junk filter to learn. Clicking the Reset button in Preferences > Junk Mail also deletes LSMMap2. The file was called just LSMMap in early versions of Mail, delete that as well if you see it.
4. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
5. Locate MessageRules.plist and/or MessageSorting.plist and move it to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including those used by the junk filter. The former is used by Mail 2.x, the latter by Mail 1.x. There is probably also a MessageRules.plist.backup and/or MessageSorting.plist.backup file there; move it to the Desktop too.
6. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
7. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox mailboxes there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
Note: Messages in Junk mailboxes with an .mbox suffix are stored locally and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 6 and 7. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there that you want to preserve, either move the messages to another mailbox in Mail first, or move Junk.mbox to the Desktop (to be imported back later) instead of to the Trash. Junk mailboxes with an .imapmbox suffix aren’t a concern because they are stored on the server and Mail will rebuild them automatically.
8. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
9. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
10. Go online again if you went offline in step 8.
If the above solves the problem and you don’t have any rules you’d like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just trash the rules files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
