Apple Mail + Mobile Me: A copy of successfully sent email stays in Drafts.

Sometimes, after successfully sending an email - it's transferred in to "Sent" folder as it should, but another copy of it stays in Drafts.
Any ideas how to fix that?
Regards,
Fade

I read this post yesterday and thought, "that's strange". About an hour later it started happening to me. I sent an email, it seemed to be taking a little long to send it and it stuck it in "Drafts" and finally sent it successfully (it's still in drafts though). This morning I now have 2 copies of the SAME email in my "Drafts" folder. They're multiplying!
Why would this just start today? I guess I haven't sent a lot of email the last few days. This is a brand new MacBook Pro, with a clean install of Snow Leopard, and I am NOT impressed. It has been one issue after another since day one. My 6 year old 1.25GHz G4 Powerbook was much more reliable. I think I just wasted $2000.

No. Make your comments in your reply and send that.

Any insight as to why multiple Apple Mail IMAP accounts with Blackberry don't get emails? Thunderbird seems to work fine.

I have two instances of Apple mail connected to the same IMAP server; one on my iMac and the other on my MacBook (when I travel). I also have a Blackberry Storm connected to the same IMAP server.
The Blackberry gets emails fine. The Apple Mail clients mostly don't get the same emails. I have disabled the Blackberry and still get the same behavior. Thunderbird or any web-based email client works perfectly well, so it seems the issue is with Apple Mail.
Anyone have any suggestions?

If TCP port 25 isn't open, then SMTP services won't work. That's the port that all SMTP servers use to communicate amongst themselves. (Sure, you can change the port your SMTP server is listening on, but you'd also have to change the port processing on all of the other SMTP servers around — and if you did manage to implement that change everywhere, the local network folks would likely just block the new port for the same reasons they blocked the old port.)
If you have a public static IP address and have correct forward and reverse translations — host domain to IP address, and IP address to host domain name — then you don't need and very likely don't want to run your own DNS server.
More to help you learn how these pieces fit together and not something I'd expect you would need given you have a public static IP and public DNS here is a detailed DNS server configuration article for OS X Server; enable Show All Records and it applies to Server.app on 10.7 and later. If you have questions after reading that, I can certainly answer them and also update the article to try to reduce the confusion or answer the question.
Your host didn't have valid reverse DNS, so you'll want to get that cleared up, and you'll want to get the port blocks cleared, or work with the local network folks to set up a relay through one of the existing mail servers.

Apple Mail & Gmail IMAP: Any tips for success?

Hello all.
Is anyone having a lot of success with using Apple Mail with Gmail IMAP? I've followed all the directions, and things work pretty well for a while ... but inevitably, after a few days, Mail seems to stop working entirely.
I can delete Gmail account on Mail and start over again ... but, if I have to keep doing that, what's the point?
The problems usually begin when I ask Apple Mail to open the Gmail All Mail folder. It starts opening the mail -- and never stops. I have to do a lot of force quitting.
What have other people been experiencing? What tips can people share? I'd like to get everything working properly.

I think GMail's IMAP support is just extremely slow. For now I'm still using POP on my computers and IMAP for phone access only. Hopefully it will speed up soon enough.
But the problems you're experiencing aren't unique to you. I'm not sure there's anything you can do, and I don't know that it's a Mac specific problem?

After installing Mavericks on my iMac, Apple Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. Now Mail crashes every time I open it. What's up?

After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail. Does anyone have an suggestions?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How can I get Apple Mail to show recipient's full name AND email address

In Apple Mail v 6.3 (1503):
I am sending an email to a recipient listed in my Contacts. The recipient has 3 or more email addresses listed in Contacts. I want to send the email to some or all of the addresses.
As I start typing the guys name, the autocomplete feature gives me choices - ie.: In the TO: field and I select the first one, then the 2nd and so on.
However, what gets displayed in the TO: Box is this:
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
So, it is not displaying the address between the < >.
so how can I get all three addresses to display like the first one which shows both the name of the guy (as listed in contacts "FIRST" "LAST") and then the actual email address).
For example I'd like it to show:
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton <[email protected]
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Any direction in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not at my Mac to check, but try turning off Smart Addresses in the Viewing tab of Mail's Preferences.

HT201250 Hi, how do I restore my email from Time Machine, I use Apple Mail, I can't see a folder marked "email" Thanks

Hi, How do i restore my email when it has been backed up in a time capsule, I can see files for photos, documents etc etc, but nothing that says email. i use Mavericks and Apple Mail
Thanks - fist time using this so forgive me if I havent given enough info

The simpliest way to restore Apple Mail emails is to make sure that Apple Mail is the active application running on your OS X Desktop. Then click the Time Machine icon on the OS X menu bar, and then, select the "Enter Time Machine" option. Time Machine should open with a number of Apple Mail windows with copies of your email messages over time.

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:

What verticle line???
See the vertical line below - how can you get rid of them?
Never had it on my PC - must be an Apple thingy!

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

Which Apple mail preference will result in quicker receipt of email -

"automatically" or "every minute"?
Thanks

Well, I'm not sure.
Here's what I have, maybe it will make sense to you:
Comcast is my internet provider, which I understand is "pop". My daughter linked my Comcast email acct. to Gmail somehow so I would have Imap, so my devices (laptop & Iphone) would snyc. . So I guess I'm "Imap", right?
What I'm trying to do is to just make sure I receive my email asap. I don't know what the Apple mail setting "automatacially" means so I dont know if I should set my preference to that or "every minute".
I hope this expanantion helps.
Thanks for takng the time to respond.
Regards,
Jim

Mail is putting multiple copies of sent emails in my drafts folder, or in trash.

Mail is putting copies of emails successfully sent in my drafts folder, sometimes multiple copies, sometimes in trash.
Also, new email keeps entering my inbox after I've moved it to other mailboxes or to the trash or junk mail. Also, if I search for a name to which I have sent or from which I have received an email, the results shows a copy of each mail in all these mailboxes: Important, All Mail, Sent Mail, Sent G-Mail. This is a recent phenomenon. For every sent email I get 5 copies in my trash box.

I phoned up Appe Support yesterday and i discovered that SOME (not all) of my trouble was caused by my 2 Gmail accounts, which werent correctly designated as Gmail Server WITH the correct password, it was set to use the server from one of my other accounts.
I do still have another problem which doesnt go away, i open Mail normally and there is ghost Open Window, which cannot be opened, to view my Mail i have to open a NEW viewer window, even though there is a Window open all ready, the Ghost window !

IPhoto '11 does not save a copy of your sent emails in your email program.

I sent an email today through iPhoto and was very disappointed that it did not put a copy of my sent mail in my Mac Mail program. This is not good for me as I often refer to my sent mails.
Is there a work around for this?

Annabelle's answer is correct but to clarify:
you need to select one of photos you sent
press info button on right bottom corner
now opens a right-side panel where in sharing area you can see the email header, click that to get to the sent email
thanks

TS3276 Mac Mail in Mavericks is randomly resending previously sent emails

For some reason previously sent emails are getting randomly resent. This seems to happen most when the program restarts as my computer reboots. Is there a way to stop this from happening? This is confusing and annoying for my clients!

Mail is not in my log in items. It opens, because it was open when I shut down.

Apple mail: Undeliverable messages - that haven't been sent. Is it a virus?

Just got back from holiday. Set up a rule before I went to tell people I was away. When I get back there are hundreds of messages saying the following:
The following message to <[email protected]> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 554-'Too many hops'
Reporting-MTA: dns; relay.pcl-ipout02.plus.net
Final-Recipient: rfc822;[email protected]
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure)
Remote-MTA: dns; [212.159.7.100]
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 554-'Too many hops' (delivery attempts: 0)
Has my Mac caught something nasty in my absence?? Any advice about how to stop this? (Bearing in mind that I'm not very technically minded!)

Has my Mac caught something nasty in my absence??
No. See my [Mac Virus guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus> to learn more about why that is not the case.
Any advice about how to stop this?
Get rid of the home-made Mail rule you used for your vacation message and don't use it again. As Roger says, your rule created an "infinite mail loop" somehow.

Apple mail not giving me the option to save emails locally

I have a number of IMAP accounts on my machine and rather than store all of the emails online, I also want to download them for offline viewing.
All the guides I've looked at show the 'Advanced' tab with an option to 'Keep copies of messages for offline viewing' but this version of Mail doesn't.
How do I make this happen without creating some clunky mail rule?

This option existed in Mountain Lion (and maybe before). In Mavericks you don't see it, since it's now always enabled by default and in case of Gmail usage there no way to disable it.
