Apple mail incorrect subject lines (IMAP)

I've seen a couple of suggested fixes for this issues but nothing seems to be working.
Specs:
Running Version 6.5 (1508) of Mail
OSX 10.8.4 on MBP 13" Retina
The issue that is becoming more consistent in occurance is that the subject line for an email may contain the body of an unrelated email (attached example). Note that I use a great deal of Rules to route mail messages to their appropriate folder. This issue just started about 1 week ago.
I have tried:
1. Rebuilt the inbox and various folders where the issue seems to be more common too many times to count
2. Synchronized my inbox
3. Deleted all "Envelope Index" files within ~/Library/Mail folder
4. Deleting and recreating my Mail account
If anyone has any other suggestions that would be great. Not having an Apple friendly mail client that has no issues speaking with my Contacts and iCal is extremely problematic.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load 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 steps 1 and 2.

Mail app subject line errors

Hello all.
I subscribe to e-mails sent by the Government of Canada. In Apple Mail, the subject line is garbled, as follows:
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Reminder - Briefing on the Prime Minister's Visit to France for the G-8 Sum?= mit and to Greece
Is there any way to correct this so Mail displays the correct subject line, without weird coding and font problems? The problem only occurs with messages from this sender in particular. Outlook handles these messages without any problem, but I prefer to use Mail.
Many thanks for any advice.

@Baron875, your answer is not entirely correct. Your method does NOT save all the original data. The original date of the message is changed to the date and time that you edited it! For business, this fixes one problem but creates another!! The only real answer to this question, which has been frustrating me ever since I switched to Mac, is to go back to Microsoft Outlook where it is simple to change the subject line... something that should be a no-brainer function for any mail client programmer. I really like Mail overall, but some of these idiotic shortfalls drive me nuts. I am becoming more and more convinced that Apple does NOT have the brightest programmers, as some people like to think.

Apple Mail and GoogleMail via IMAP

_*Apple Mail and GoogleMail via IMAP*_
As posts concerning the setup of Apple Mail for GoogleMail IMAP access become more frequent on Apple Discussions, I decided to collect some of the most asked-for info in one place. The following hints are intended to provide enough info for anyone who wants to get started with Google Mail IMAP and Mail.app.
As you might have noticed already, GoogleMail behaves differently from other IMAP accounts in some respects. One of the underlying reasons is its use of labels instead of folders (i.e. instead of moving messages to different folders – like e.g. Private and Work – in order to establish some order, rather there are labels tagged to the messages). Because of this a particular setup of Apple’s Mail client is required.
*Activating IMAP for Google Mail*
If you haven’t activated access via IMAP for Google Mail already, follow the instructions given by Google [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695&topic=13294]. It boils down to this:
1) Sign in to Gmail.
2) Click "Settings" at the top of any Gmail page,
3) click "Forwarding and POP/IMAP",
4) select "Enable IMAP".
5) Click "Save Changes".
*Creating a new account in Apple Mail*
To add a Google Mail IMAP account in Mail.app, go to File > Add Account. A wizard will open which prompts you to insert your Name, the eMail-address of the new account and the password. Don’t use the option for automatic configuration if it’s available. Info on what to type into the different fields can be obtained from Google [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799&topic=12814]. The most important are:
1) Incoming Server: imap.gmail.com, port 993 (using SSL)
2) Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com, port 465 or 587 (using SSL)
3) Your account name is your full email address including "@gmail.com" (without the quotation marks)
*Configuring the Google Mail account in Apple Mail*
After you have added your Google Mail IMAP account to Mail.app, you’ll find a section for Google Mail in Mail.app’s sidebar with subfolders like "All Mail" (which has in turn several subfolders) and folders for each label you created with GoogleMail. Now you have to configure the account properly. Despite what [Google recommends|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&topic=1281 4], I found the following settings to work best for me.
In the sidebar, navigate to the subfolders Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk of "Google Mail" (the one with the white folder icon instead of a blue one) in turn and go to "Mailbox" menu > "Use this mailbox for..." > Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk respectively. Afterwards these folders show up as subfolders to the main Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk folders in the sidebar (and at the same time disappear from the GMail section). Among others this step is necessary because of Google Mail’s implementation of labels. E.g., as Google states [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&topic=12814]:
Messages that are deleted from an IMAP folder (...) only have that label removed and still exist in All Mail
So if you want to delete a message you have to set the option to "Use this mailbox for… Trash" as described above. Same applies to sent messages etc.
Furthermore, make sure every checkbox in Mail's Preferences > Accounts > GoogleMail > Behavior is checked . (Some will already and automatically be checked when you apply the option "Use this mailbox for..." as described above).
*Some basic troubleshooting tips*
1) If your counter for unread messages in Mail.app doesn’t refresh properly, go to "Mailbox" menu > "Sync all accounts".
2) If you have set up a Smart Mailbox in Mail e.g. for unread messages and every unread message of Google Mail shows up twice, then add the criterion "Message is not in mailbox" > "All Mail", and set the requirement for messages to comply with ALL conditions (instead of ANY). This is necessary because of every message there is a copy stored in All Mail.
I hope these info will be regarded as helpful by anyone who tries to get started with Google Mail and experiences some problems on the way.
The links given were accessible as of September, 3rd, 2008. The setup was tested on a MacBook with OS X 10.5.4 Leopard and Mail 3.4 (928/928.1).
Good computing.

Apple Mail vs. Gmail IMAP disagreeing counts

A friend has two iMacs (10.6.5), iPad & iPhone (iOS 4.2) recently switched to gmail for his primary email service.
The problem is that not all the devices “see” the same Sent, Drafts and Trash mailbox.
Working with other IMAP services, I never see issues like this, so I know this is a gmail specific issue - there’s a disconnect between the way Gmail organizes it’s IMAP mailboxes vs. the way the Apple Mail does.
For instance, when you configure Apple Mail for a gmail IMAP account, it assumes your Sent mailbox will be called “Sent Messages”. And on the gmail web side, a Label always gets created called “Sent Messages”. My experience is that without any intervention, when you send email, it shows up in Apple Mail in the proper “Sent” mailbox, but in gmail it shows up in “Sent Messages”, NOT gmail’s Sent mailbox.
For some reason, with a gmail account, the old trick of Mailboxes > Use this Mailbox for doesn’t work because the options are grayed out.
So, how I’ve improved this situation is to open up PropertyListEditor and edit com.apple.mail.plist. There is a key called ‘MailAccounts’ under which is an “item” representing the Gmail account. Underneath, there’s an entry for ‘SentMessagesMailboxName’. I’ve tried changing this to both “Sent Mail” or “[Gmail]/Sent Mail” and both work in the sense that any email sent from Apple Mail ends up in gmail’s Sent mailbox, and NOT in “Sent Messages”
Here’s where the mystery deepens.
In my friend’s situation, when I do this, when path is set to [Gmail]/Sent Mail, I see two Sent mailboxes
in Apple Mail, I see 886 messages in the Sent under ‘Mailboxes’, and 823 in ‘Sent Mail’ under GMAIL section
in gmail, the ‘Sent Mail’ mailbox has 651 items and there exists a “[Imap]/Sent Mail” mailbox which has 609 items
When I edit the plist and change the path with PropertyListEditor to just “Sent Mail”, Apple Mail only shows one Sent mailbox with 823 messages items, but is missing the message sent within the past couple days.
Any ideas how to make sense of this?

No real answer to your problem, but I can confirm the problem exists...I've been chasing it forever. Another issue (that is equally as perplexing) is that no matter how you configure deleted message behavior in Apple Mail, when you delete a message it NEVER shows up in the Gmail TRASH folder. If someone would just create a definitive guide for using Gmail and Apple Mail they could probably sell it.

Apple Mail doesn't support IMAP IDLE

I had started using Entourage for a while just for testing since I had reacently started using a new IMAP server and I wanted to see how all the different email software behaves differently so that I can know what everyone will expect to see. Probably my favorite feature of the IMAP4rev1 protocol is IDLE. This feature gives the client the ability to stay connected to server so that the second an email comes in, it is "pushed" to the client.
This is very different from the way that with POP3 and HTTPmail that you need to poll the server. Here's the real bummer for me though, my absolute favorite email client, Apple Mail, DOESN'T SUPPORT 'IMAP IDLE'!!!!!!!
I beg you Apple to please realease a new version of Apple Mail that supports IDLE properly so that the client can stay connected to the IMAP server.
Other not as important feature requests/bugs that I have:
* CRAM-MD5 authentication on SMTP doesn't work for me in Apple Mail even though my server supports it and it works fine in other email clients
* A three pane vertical view similar to Entourage/Outlook... It would just be a nice option
* Ability to hide individual IMAP folders aka Unsubscribe
* AND ONCE AGAIN PLEASE SUPPORT IDLE!!!
Now if I have this all wrong and there is some way to turn IDLE on that is a hidden setting, someone please tell me. I'd be interested in hearing what someone from Apple has to say about this missing feature. Thank you!
1.5GHz 15" PowerBook Aluminum Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2GB RAM, 60GB 7200 RPM HD, SuperDrive, iSight

No, all this does is download all of my emails and cache all of them locally (regardless of what folder they are in). I wouldn't want this to happen because I definitely have over 100MB stored on my email server.
IDLE is something entirely different... I'm still hoping to get a reply from Apple.
If anybody else is annoyed with this please file a feature/bug request/submit form at www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ so that we can try to get this resolved soon via some sort of update. OS X 10.5 is still a ways away so I'd definitely like to see an update to 2.05 before we get to 3.0.

Apple mail vertical blue line to left of forwarded email?

Have an iMac Mountain Lion 10.8.2 using Apple mail. When I forward email I get a blue vertical line to the left of the forwarded mail or if I reply to an email & leave the received email in the replys string, I get a blue vertical line the length of the received mail. In subsequent strings the number of lines increases by one for each in the back of the string. I have tried cutting & pasting but can't get rid of the blue vertical line. With a message that has a number of vertical lines on the left side, I can't delete any of them to simply forward the email clean. How can I rid myself of those annoying vertical lines on the left of the message blocks! It did it on Lion & still does. see example below:
Begin forwarded message:

Hi Paullythesolver,
I have used a combination of solutions that mostly (not 100%) work but are a laborous pain in the butt!
I checked your suggested solution and my Fonts & Colours text box that was "ticked" was "unticked".
The Composing quote level box was already unticked - no action required there.
I will have to await another incoming "side blue lined" email to see if your suggestion worked - it does logically sound like a winner, but the proof is still in the pudding to be seen!
There has been so much traffic on this issue over the past 18 months or so with so many experiencing a similar problem. I do hope this puts the problem to rest once & for all!
Thanks

On my iPad, E-mails have subject line but no body?

E-mails on my iPad only show sender and subject line, but no body?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

"Apple Mail To Do" and IMAP

I have an IMAP email account (with fastmail) that I use with Apple Mail (Version 3.5 (929.4/929.2)), and Mail has been creating (and recreating) an 'Apple Mail To Do' folder in my folder list.
http://problems.physci.sent.com/imapscreenshot
http://problems.physci.sent.com/mailscreenshot.png
I deleted the folder from my IMAP web-account, and when I quit and reopen Mail, all is well at both Mail.app and my IMAP web-account. No folders/subfolders in IMAP.
But that is only until the next time I reopen Mail. The next time I reopen Mail, Mail recreates a new copy of the "Apple Mail To Do" folder, but now nested within two "Inbox" folders (on my IMAP account). In attempt to solve this, I've tried various settings and changes and in so doing, I've tried to delete the folder(s), but all attempts were to no avail. Each time Mail reopens, the "Apple Mail To Do" keeps getting created and nested inside two, three, four, five, six, and more "Inbox" folders.
http://problems.physci.sent.com/imapscreenshot
Changing the preference settings in Mail to store Notes and To Do's "on my mac" has no influence on these happenings. My IMAP Path Prefix preferences is set to: INBOX. I'm afraid to change it to anything else because the last time I did that, Mail froze up my Inbox, automatically moved emails to unintended folders, and gave me an annoying pop-up every single time I opened Mail, asking me if I wanted to change my IMAP path preferences.
I also noticed that when an Apple Mail To Do is created, I lose the unread mail count of my Inbox.
http://problems.physci.sent.com/InboxUnreadCount
But my dock unread count is accurate.
http://problems.physci.sent.com/DockUnreadCount
I would love to use Apple Mail To Do, and I think for its integrated functionality (to be able to select a sentence in a particular email and make a To Do), it requires a folder in my IMAP email account. I don't know why it creates nested folders, but more importantly I'm just not sure how to go about resolving this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In case someone else finds themselves in the same spot as I was, a fastmail pro (Rob) found a solution for this that works quite well. It's a long winded one, and I unfortunately don't quite have the time to go into all the details here, but it involves leaving the IMAP path prefix as "blank", and using alternate namespace IMAP ports. Rob has this detailed out in his blog at:
http://blog.fastmail.fm/2008/08/11/alternate-namespace-imap-port-may-help-outloo k-ol-express-apple-mail-and-bis-users/
and
http://blog.fastmail.fm/2008/08/28/proxy-servers-for-alternate-imap-port-may-be- useful-for-blackberry-bis-users/
For those that are not familiar with fastmail, imho, it is the way to go for professional imap emails. Lightning fast, 'customizable-galore', extremely reliable, and with an excellent support team. But more importantly they are very mac friendly, and works like awesome with Mac OS X Mail. For example, we have business email accounts hosted at fastmail, and I can share a designated "folder" of emails with 2 (or more) business partners, so much so that if one of us clicks an email, it comes up as being 'read' on all of our accounts, and with many many more functions. Really cool. Works well with family accounts (1, 2 or more users), and is simply customizable like crazy.
http://www.fastmail.fm/
They also have an awesome beta web-interface with heavy keyboard shortcuts, and they keep enhancing on it, increasing capability, efficiency and functions.
Beta: http://www.fastmail.fm/beta
Wow, I feel like a fastmail sales rep, heh?
Anyway just wanted to post an update, that's all. Didn't mean to go on a tangent there.

Apple Mail not working with IMAP account

I have been using Entourage for my email with several IMAP email accounts. SOme of the accounts I was getting occasional errors so I thought I would try Apple Mail.
I am able to successfully set up the accounts in Mail (i.e. it successfully logs into server) however it does not get any of the mail nor does it get any of the mail folders that are on the IMAP server (viewing email using Web Mail or even going back to Entourage shows the emails on the account). Are there any special (hidden) tricks that I need to do to get Mail to work with a standard IMAP mail server?

I have a very similar problem. Apparently IMAP access is better than POP3. Well IMAP slows my Mac to a complete stop whereas POP3 is seamless. I deleted my POP3 mailboxes after successfully accessing my GMail accounts via IMAP, then it slowed down.
I've deleted the IMAP accounts a few times, but each time a new account is created it forces me to accept IMAP with no option for POP3. The help file also contains no information on POP3.
I get about 50 emails everyday and my usual point of email access has just become redundant, I must now rely on email via my browser and .
I made this change because the iPhone does not sync downloaded emails with Apple Mail. In Mail on my Mac, the one GMail inbox I have setup says there are 11 unread which it eventually shows yet none appear unread. I'll have to rely on web-based email until this is resolved.
Can anyone help with these IMAP access problems?

Apple Mail 2.1.3 imap issue

I have three Gmail accounts, one of which is a university account. I have them all imap enabled through my Apple Mail. I am unable to access my university account because I am getting a Connection Failed message that says:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account [my email account name] or try again.
The server error encountered was: Invalid credentials (Failure)
I can access my other two Gmail accounts in Apple Mail just fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Donovan

I gather your old account is still working perfectly then, so that's something. At least you can send e-mail from that, whilst instructing your contacts to reply to you at your new e-mail address.
When you put 587 into the server port for Comcast, do you also tick SSSL? Try it ticked and unticked.
Try 465 as an alternative to 587 and again, try it with SSL ticked and unticked.
Whatever the Comcast instructions may say, and I am not and have never been a Comcast user, you might also try [email protected] for your outoing server.

Issues in Swedish mail notification subject line

Hi team,
I have created one concurrent program which run on daily basis to send notification about employee contract expiration to their manager before 30 days.
I should send mail into swedish language. I am facing one issue into this.
I have compiled program correctly with Swedish as machine langage and i am able to see appropriate mail format in my package body.
But i receive mail notification, the mail body is in swedish language but mail subject removed the swedish characters.
Please check below details:
Apps : 12.1.3
Database : 11g
Responsiblity Name: HR Professional
Swedish Subject line in Code : HRMS System Varning: Anställningskontrakt löper ut om 28 dagar
Swedish Subject line in mail notification : HRMS System Varning: Anstallningskontrakt loper ut om 28 dagar
Sweidish Mail body in code : Observera att gällande anställningskontrakt för löper ut den
Swedish Subject in mail notification : Observera att gällande anställningskontrakt för löper ut den
I tried following approch:
1. I passed direct subject line to P_Subject parameter.
2. I assigned subject line to l_subject and then passed value l_subject to P_subject .
in both cases, i am getting wrong output. Kindly check and let me know if anything is required from my side.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Basaw

Hi Friend,
Thanks for quick reply.
It is not showing any garbage value or squares anything.
It is just removing swedish characters. Please check below:
Sweidish Mail body in code : HRMS System Varning: Anställningskontrakt löper ut om 28 dagar
Swedish Subject in mail notification : HRMS System Varning: Anstallningskontrakt loper ut om 28 dagar
If you see closely, in word Anställningskontrak and löpe, it is removied a and o which are special values in swedish characters.

Creating truly custom mail rule - Subject line word length?

hey, first post... i am noting tons of spam where the subject line is one long mess consisting of junk words. There is no custom rule category allowing me to set something similar to:
if SubjectLine has word with length >20 Junk It..
Until Apple catches up to spammers and gives that to us, can anyone help me perhaps do this sort of thing? thanks, drew..

i solved this myself and can be contacted privately for the answer..

How does Apple Mail handle a full IMAP server?

I am using IMAP on my serverr with the Apple Mail application. I would like to know what happens when the mail server gets full. Am I supposed to monitor the amount of room, or does Apple Mail automatically archive the mail entries on my computer?
Also, if the server loses its mail, will Apple Mail retain the mail locally or should I create a archive folder to handle any server problems?
I was using a POP server before and never worried about this because the mail was always on my computer and if the POP server got full or lost mail, I would not lose anything I already received since it was stored locally.

The state of your server is your issue, if it fills up you won't be able to receive mail. Make a local folder (On Your Mac) and move old mail there.

Apple Mail accounts defaulting to IMAP instead of POP

My ISP (Cox) tells me they support both IMAP and POP. With my old eMac (PPC 10.5.8), Apple Mail was working fine with POP. However, when I set up my new Mac Mini (10.10.3), the account setup defaults to IMAP and doesn't allow me to change this to POP. I was involved in this discussion :
OS X 10.10.3 Apple Mail: 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message' is no longer an option?
However, unlike the OP, in my case after pressing the "Create" button, no second display came up, i.e. Yosemite automatically configured the account as IMAP and that was that.
Anyone have any ideas how I can either edit the new accounts or add a new account so that it uses POP instead of IMAP in Apple Mail?

You may have to use Add Other Account from the bottom of the email provider list in Internet Accounts.
So, if this doesn't work for the listed providers, try it with Add Other Account.
When you get to the screen where you put in the email address and password, hold down the Option key and the Create button will change to Next. Press that and you can manually configure the account.
