Apple Mail - Mac Mail-

I love my new Mac (switching over after 20 years on PC) and love Mac Mail but I have been spoiled by MS Outlook when writing emails. In Outlook it always capitalized the letter of each new sentence, capitalized "i" and auto completed days of the week as you began to type them. Is there a setting in Mac Mail that at least capitalizes the first word of each new sentence or "i"? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, my inbox on my mail server is only 45MB, and I get about 100KB of email a day, but my mail app is somehow transferring 20TB a month to my mail server!!!! It all happens in the background so I don't even notice it going on.
I'm about to get kicked off my host. APPLE??? what the heck is going on?

Retrieve Lost Mails (Mac Mail 1.3) on OS 10.3.9

Retrieve Lost Mails (Mac Mail 1.3)?
Is there a way to retrieve lost emails in Mac Mail 1.3 on Mac OS 10.3.9. I came from Earthlink and switched to AT&T. I deleted my Earthlink account because it's already cancelled and is generating errors. I set up my AT&T account after that and was able to send and receive emails.
However, I noticed that my old emails in my Earthlink account are no longer there. Those documents are very important. Earthlink no longer has the emails on their server because I configured the email client NOT TO LEAVE MESSAGES on the server.
I would appreciate your help.

Deleting a mail account causes all your mail stored in that account’s mailboxes to be removed from the computer as well, and you you were warned that this would happen by an alert similar to this for Mail 2.x (I don’t know what the exact wording is in Mac OS X 10.3):
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.For IMAP-type accounts, this is not a problem because mail is stored on the server. If you deleted a POP account, however, your mail has certainly been wiped out from the computer, not just moved somewhere.
To prevent that from happening, you should have moved your mail to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving it in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using the account’s Inbox and Sent mailboxes for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless — see Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty.
If the messages are not on the server, and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may use a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage to try to salvage as many deleted mbox files as possible in the case of Mail 1.x, and as many deleted *.emlx files as possible in the case of Mail 2.x. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum.

Confirmation of reading mail in mac mail
Confirmacao de leitura de mail no mac mail
How?
Como?

No.
Não.

For the last 4 months I can not send any mail from my mac mail account. It will receive but not send. I have to use my Yahoo or Gmail account to send anything. When I forward or try to send a new email, a box wants my password. IT won't take my password.

A box comes up after I try and send an email wanting my password. I put the password in, the box disappers, then shows up again empty wanting my password. The same password is used to access Apple but Mac Mail will not accept it. It just stop sending about four months ago.

It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website. In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment. I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address. Check this article out from Gigaom.

Mac mail broken

FIX MAC MAIL
Mac Mail just plain fails for me on connections to my mail server. I spent 2 days trying to make it work, maybe longer. I finally had to move to a 3rd party mail provider.. both Postbox and Airmail connect and work beautifully. I liked some of the features in Mac Mail and would like to go back to it. But it needs to actually work.
I am familiar with email setup and host my own email server. I'm trying to use IMAP with my desktop mail, but all attempts at connection fail from some reason, either smtp or imap fails, and sometimes it's random. On trying Postbox and Airmail, connection was automatic and correct and has not failed since setup.
IMO, the connection model for Mac Mail is impaired, and needs some serious attention.

Mac mail CRASHING after Yosemite update 10.10.3

Are you KIDDING APPLE?
mac mail CRASHING after Yosemite update 10.10.3
The program is completely unusable and crashed after update.
Computer is less than 1 month old and can't run a basic mail program
I REALLY HOPE APPLE FIXES THIS BUG ASAP
Without fix I will return the computer

True,
I also have AppleCare, but unfortunately, after calling them they can't determine what is creating the problem either.
Other forums have shown other troubleshooting steps which didn't solve my problem, but may help others:
Mail app keeps crashing after Yosemite update
Mail crashing after upgrading to 10.10.3
Lets cross our fingers that 10.10.4 will be out shortly to fix this

Exporting from Mac Mail to Outlook 2011

Hi,
I want to export all my current mails from Apple Mail into outlook. I am trying to use outlook import function but it doesnot have apple mail/mac mail in its options.
Is there any other way of doing this???

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!

I can no longer use my aol on mac mail. When I set up the aol account name and password I get a message that says "Unable to verify account name or password". This is on all my Apple devices. Seems like an AOL server issue but no help from them!

I can no longer make my AOL e mail work with Mac Mail on all my devices. When I try to set up the account and put in the correct aol account and password I get the message "Unable to verify account name or password". I know the account name and password is correct as I can open the AOL e mail page on Safari. I have changed the password, and it still does not work. AOL tech support has been no help. AOL email worked for years but last week due to suspected spam activity AOL locked my AOL account. I got that straightened out but now i cannot set it up on any of my devices: Macbook Air, Ipad, I pad mini and iPhone 6 without that message. I took everything to Apple store and everything is set up correctly on my devices. AOL tech support is no help and keeps giving me different solutions and answers, none of which has worked. Any solutions out there? All my Apple Software is up to date on all my devices

Delete your Gmail account from the Mail/Contacts/Calendars settings page, and then add it back in using the new Gmail password.

I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch one of the problem apps. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail

Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
1. Opening Mailbox
2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
Regards
Peter

Let’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

HT5622 .mac mail - I still use my .mac email address to access itunes, icloud, etc. Every once in a while, apple sends me confirmation, reservation, etc. emails to the .mac address. Can someone tell me how to access that email account?

Hi pjerl,
Depending on when you originally set up your Apple ID, you may have @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com email addresses associated with your account, but all mail sent to those addresses should still come in to the same iCloud account (you can test this to make sure by sending yourself emails at those addresses). You may find the following articles helpful:

HT204053 does my apple id affect mac mail

When I forget and change my Apple ID password, does it have anything to do with my Mac Mail? It seems like every time I change the Apple ID password, I begin to have trouble with my outgoing mail service but I can't for the life of me understand where I need to change these things. It immediately messes up my Apple TV (I have to change the password there after I change it online.) What are all the things associated with my Apple ID Password and where do I need to change them? Thank you.

Thank you for your quick reply. I have been in the Mail > Preferences > Accounts section for a while now and it seems the password is OK. I get mail. I am logged on and the outgoing server (and icoming servers) give me the "green light". It's just that when I try to send mail, it goes to the outbox... and the send mail notice begins spinning and never stops, even if the mail is in the outbox but no longer in the sending mode. Very frustrating. ,
So I'm asking you what do you want me to do in the Mail > Preferences > Accounts area that might change this situation?
thanks --

When is Apple going to fix Mac Mail?

Under Panther Mac Mail was very good for me. The signatures left a lot to be desired but otherwise it was pretty nice. I have upgraded to Lion and the new Mac mail *****. I'm almost ready to switch to a different mail software. Try to cut and paste a bunch of pictures to a new mail and then move the photo's around. I'd almost rather lick a red hot branding iron. Nothing works the same or sane anymore. Is it any better under Mountian Lion? I dislike Lion so much I hate to try
the next upgrade. Pardon the Oxymoron.

I can't confirm any issues in mail either. I just did a few more random searches and all appears very quickly on my systems. (Nearly instantaneous.) 2008 Macbook Pro (2.4GHz, 4GB) & 2009 Mini (2.0GHz, 8GB,) both OSX 10.7.2, Mail 5.1. Both are connected to Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail and two different Exchange accounts as well as a third Exchange server via IMAP. Get Mail takes less than 15 seconds to go through all my accounts on my (relatively) slow DSL connection. About 30 seconds if I get ~10 new messages. (This assumes that no really large attachments need to be downloaded.)
Your last post several months ago said that Lion was slow for you overall. You also posted that your Mac Pro had eight (8) hard drives. My 2009 Mini has 7 external Firewire hard drives (I use it as a Time Machine and media server,) and I do notice a lot of "beach balls" when switching between iTunes, iPhoto and Mail because I have iTunes and iPhoto on separate hard drives and the the drives will spin down often if not in continuous use. I'm not saying that this is exactly your issue, but this thread you only mention Mail issues and I haven't read that you did anything to troubleshoot your system overall. (e.g.: update to Lion compatible apps, update drivers, reinstall Lion clean, etc.)
That said, one thing I have noticed with both Macs and Windows PCs, since they assume a network/internet connection, often will appear to freeze if you have poor network access. So if you're on Wi-Fi, troubleshoot by using a wired connection, for example. Reset your router and update it's firmware, if possible. I replaced my Linksys router and got a tremendous improvement even on LAN access. (Something defective on the router, either flooding the LAN with garbage or a bad port or whatever.) My point is, you need to provide more info, as the others have suggested, and try different things. (And say what you've tried; don't make us guess.)
