Apple Mail, IMAP messages are mangled

I have just connected to my IMAP account with Apple Mail. It appears that there is an encoding problem. (It was using Outlook for Mac before because of work obligations, but I'd really prefer to use Apple Mail.) These messages still look okay in the message view of the IMAP account through Outlook for Mac (2011 v14.2.3), but all the messages seem to mangled as far as Webmail (Roundcube) or Apple Mail (v5.2) are concerned.
I can't find any IMAP setting options in stupid Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Does anyone know if there's one in Apple Mail that might allow me to use these emails? I'm happy to provide more info, it's really bugging me.
All my messages look like this (source below as well):

There is something wrong there all right. I am having the same problem.
In my home imac, I leave Mail open when I leave for work. During the day I may access gmail via the web interface, read and/or delete some e-mails, that sort of quite normal things. When I come home, Mail in the iMac has not detected any of the changes.
This used to work with Tiger without any problems, Mail simply saw all the changes as one would expect. Definite regression, and it would be nice to have it fixed somehow...

Guess there is a severe lag time between .Mac and Mail.app?

Apple Mail delets messages on the Server POP3

Apple Mail delets messages on the Server Method: POP3. I use the preference to delete message if they where transfered out of the incoming box.
Since 10.6 this seems not longer to work, what is going wrong?
System: 10.6.4

Hi there. This feature should work, as I have 10.6.4 and use it personally. Note that once a message is deleted from POP mail cannot put it back, so this setting once checked only applies to new messages.
Make sure you look at the options about removing the message from the server when it's removed from the trash or after xx days.
If these are set correctly, you may find luck in unchecking the box for leaving the messages on the server and then rechecking it.
Lastly, you could try deleting the mail account and recreating it.

I've set up my Gmail account to auto forward messages to iCloud Mail but message are not being received in iCloud Mail.
Can anyone help?

Try this out... this worked like a charm:
*On a desktop PC, log into your gmail account.
*Click the gear up in the top right corner > Settings
*Click Accounts
*Under "Change Account Settings", click "Other Goole Account Settings"
*Along the left, click "Security"
*Under 2-step verification, click "Manage your application specific passwords"
*It will ask for your usual gmail account password and take you to a page that says "
Authorized Access to your Google Account
*You will see a box to type in something (I just typed in iPad) then click "Generate Password"
*It will generate a random password for you... you will need this password Once in your iPad....
Now...
*Go to your iPhone Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>Google
*Type in your name, your usual gmail email address and for the password, type in that random one generated on your PC
It should work from there, if not follow what is below!

Done

Two Apple Mail imap accounts, but can never include 2nd account in REPLY ALL

Hi. I have two Apple Mail imap accounts. One for me and one for my boss. The problem is, if I receive an email in which my boss is cc'd and I then click on REPLY ALL, Mail never includes my boss's email address and I have to manually type it in. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you.

Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, scan down to the entry 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)', click on the dropdown and select Edit SMTP Server List and verify that each account has the correct SMTP server set.
Then close it
Once you have verified that the servers are set correctly check the box that says 'Use only this server' for each of the accounts.

Apple Mail opens messages before log in

When I launch Apple Mail, several message windows open with message contents displayed; this is before I log in to the mail server. How can I make sure Mail waits for me to log in before it opens any message windows?
Thanks!

I think you mentioned some widget you downloaded that introduced a NEW button ?? That's what makes it normal for you, I fear.
Try this workaround:
select the first message in your Inbox list
Employ whatever means to mark it UNread with your preferred method,
THEN ⇧ Shift + Down arrow key to just above the Subject title you wish to read
THEN, Down arrow key or click the next in the list ("Locator for authorized repair/ ..." in my example)
VOILA!!
Repeat as necessary

When I mark a message as read on Apple Mail it gets marked on the server, but the other way round doesn't work i.e. if I mark a message as read on the server (i.e. running Gmail in a browser) it doesn't appear marked as read on my Mac. Is there something wrong here or is this how it is meant to work (it certainly works properly on my iPhone).

There is something wrong there all right. I am having the same problem.
In my home imac, I leave Mail open when I leave for work. During the day I may access gmail via the web interface, read and/or delete some e-mails, that sort of quite normal things. When I come home, Mail in the iMac has not detected any of the changes.
This used to work with Tiger without any problems, Mail simply saw all the changes as one would expect. Definite regression, and it would be nice to have it fixed somehow...

Outbound Apple Mail Gmail Messages Trapped in Outbox

Mavens,
On an iMac running Mavericks (OS X 10.9 (13A603)) and Apple Mail 7.0 (1822), outbound GMail messages remain trapped in the Outbox.
NOTE: This GMail account is using Google's 2-step Verification with an Application-specific Password for Apple Mail.
Apple Mail does access GMail's Inbox (it seems that all Gmail Inbox messages are reflected in Apple Mail's Inbox).
Outbound Gmail Emails remain trapped in Apple Mail's Outbox.
ALSO—
If Apple Mail is closed, then re-opened, it (Apple Mail) asks for the GMail password...over & over & over...the only solution I've found is to create a new Google Application-specific password. Very tedious, and quite un-Apple-like ("...it just works.").
If you've encountered—and fixed—either of these problems...what do you suggest? Any ideas?
Many, many thanks in advance.
Best,
Plane Wryter

May have found a fix!
Thrashing around in Mail | Preferences | Accounts...
I painstakingly worked through all the settings for the GMail account (e.g., double-checking IMAP and SMTP parameters).
In doing so, I notices that the setting for "TLS Certificate" was "None" (as it is for my other GMail accounts).
On a whim, I clicked the drop-down for TLS Certificate...and selected com.apple.idms.etc.etc.
Allons-y! It worked.
A moment after selecting the TLS Certficate setting...the [formerly] trapped Outbox Emails launched on their way.
If you have the same symptoms, I hope this helps.

Apple Mail--incoming messages

Hi... I am setting up a new MacBook Pro and I use Apple Mail just as I did on my old computer... I've imported the mail and tried to set the new one up like it is/was on the old.
But something is different because every five minutes (or at least it seems like every five minutes) when I have Mail setup to check for new mail, I see things like
8 incoming messages
followed a only seconds later by say,
15 incoming messages
But there are no mail messages actually coming in and nor should there be???
Once that message or two gets done, I look around for any new mail and there is none.. I can also immediately click the "check mail" button manually and, as expected, it will get the NO NEW MAIL sound... But then five minues later when it's again time to check mail automatically, more often than not, here comes another barrage of
12 incoming messages
or something silly like that... I thought it might be RSS feed stuff but I can't find any of that set up or running...
It's clearly not real messages coming in, at least nothing I can find... And my old setup on my old computer (also Apple Mail and both old and new are running on 10.8.3, Mail version 6.3) certainly does nothing like that...
So what is it??? What are these phantom incoming messages??
thanks... bob..

Why not just turn off the Gmail "Important" and "All Mail" labels for IMAP access? You can do this in Gmail's Webmail interface (gmail.com), under Settings (the gear icon), in the "Labels" tab. Turn off "Show in IMAP" for those two labels.

Apple Mail: IMAP mails automatically read!

I am experiencing a strange problem with Apple Mail. I have several IMAP accounts set up. Since a couple of weeks my incoming emails are automatically set to "read" by the app. Can anyone help? Eric Bartels

Check your Mail rules for "Mark as read" actions, and also check that the messages aren't being read on another client.

Apple Mail random messages disappear Exchange Server 2007

I've had this problem for several months and have been biting the bullet. I am a tech at ASU.
Seemingly random messages don't appear in my inbox. From any source or domain.
I have noticed some consistency in that messages are more likely to disappear if I have viewed them with a blackberry. Also, after a reply, I am more likely to not see the original message.
*I think the problem is related to synching, not sure if it's on the Mail client or an exchange server setting.*
I have tried rebuilding everything, changing my settings to not delete or move things --no rules etc.
I have observed this phenomena when the blackberry is out of the equation. I have observed it after a fresh install of Leopard. It has been close to a year. Out exchange admins are not familiar with AppleMail and are not inclined to change any settings to be more Mail friendly.
I am willing to keep my exchange mailbox down to a certain size, apply whatever changes or third party synch clients if it will resolve the issue. This is clearly a incompatibility with Exchange and Mail, but the rest of my peers at the University do not have this issue :/
Your help and advice would be sooooo appreciated, you have no idea. Thanks ~Steve

I have the latest version of Snow Leopard, 6.1, installed. I've been trying to hook up Mail to our Exchange 2003 server for a few days with no luck. Any hints? I've trying to use the same settings I have in my Entourage account. No dice. I've tried both Exchange 2007 and Exchange IMAP.
Anything I should know besides our Exchange server address? I've tried from within the Company and from my home. The message I get is always the same:
+"The Exchaange IMAP server "xxx" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages"+
Maybe something needs to be done at the server end to accept Apple Mail?
Anyway, any hints are welcome.
Thank you, Cerrense

Gmail with iPhone (Exchange) push & Apple Mail IMAP

Hi, I've managed to get a Gmail account going on an iPhone using the Exchange protocol. Push is working fine. I use Apple Mail to access the same Gmail account via IMAP.
When I reply to a message using the iPhone, the Replied flag (the little 180-degree U-turn arrow symbol) shows up next to the message in iPhone Mail, but this flag doesn't appear in Apple Mail. Likewise, if I reply to the message using Apple Mail, the Replied flag shows up in Apple Mail but not in iPhone Mail.
Basically, I would like push email, but would like the Replied flags to be shown correctly between the email programs.
I've tested this using a few other potential settings with the following results:
* Attempt [1]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using the IMAP protocol (no push); Apple Mail using the IMAP protocol (push via IMAP-idle): If a message is replied using the iPhone, the Read & Replied flags are not synced to Apple Mail. However, flags produced using Apple Mail are brought across to iPhone Mail. BUT, if Apple Mail is quit & started up again, the proper Read & Replied flags are shown.
* Attempt [2]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using the pre-made Gmail settings (no push); Apple Mail using the IMAP protocol (push via IMAP-idle): Same results as Attempt [1].
* Attempt [3]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using Exchange (push); Apple Mail using the Exchange protocol: Can't seem to get Apple Mail working at all. Tried all sorts of settings, but no luck.
* Attempt [4]: iPhone Mail accessing another non-Gmail server using IMAP (no push); Apple Mail using IMAP (push via IMAP-idle): Reading & replying to messages using the iPhone or Apple Mail will always correctly show the Replied flags on the other platform.
* Attempt [5]: iPhone Mail accessing MobileMe using pre-made MobileMe settings (push); Apple Mail using MobileMe (push): Reading & replying to messages using the iPhone or Apple Mail will always correctly show the Replied flags on the other platform.
So the only way to get push email happening with correct syncing of the flags between email programs is to use MobileMe. It doesn't seem possible using Gmail, unless someone can tell me the Exchange server settings for Apple Mail so that it can be tested.

That's the way it works with Exchange, and there's no workaround until Apple fixes it. It's the same for 'regular' Exchange accounts - the replied/forwarded tags applied by the iPhone Mail app aren't seen by Outlook, and vice versa.

Gmail in Apple Mail. Messages to self don't go to inbox..

Hi. I have a gmail account that I access using Apple Mail. It is IMAP
I frequently CC or Blind CC myself on outgoing messages.
Most of the time the messages appear in my inbox when I check mail. Sometimes (1 out of 3) they do not appear in the inbox. They do appear in the Gmail>All mail folder and in Gmail on the web.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The problem is that Gmail moves "deleted" messages to the All Mail category. The trick to avoiding having 3 copies of a message in your client (Apple Mail, iPad, iPhone, etc) is to configure Gmail's IMAP settings. Go to Settings-->Labels and look at the right side where it offeres a series of checkboxes labeled "Show in IMAP". You can turn the various labels off or on to control which messages ("mailboxes") your IMAP client app will see. At a minimum, you probably want to have just Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, and Trash. Maybe Spam if you want to manage that on your cllient in addition to the Gmail web interface. The key one to turn OFF is the "All Mail" label.
This is not a new "problem" in Lion... Gmail's IMAP has been this way all along. But I do believe that Apple Mail in Lion auto-configures itself for Gmail so perhaps you're now seeing the problem for the first time.
