Apple Mail on Lion

Dear all
When the new Apple Mail loaded from Lion's platform I was pleased with its look. My mailbox was split into 3 columns: mailboxes, message previews and then a large window which would show the content of each email as I clicked onto each email. Somehow I have deleted the final window and I dont know how to get it back! Please help.
Thank you

I only asked as it seemed apple have removed a feature from mountain lion that was actually quite useful, that being the option to save account passwords in keychain or not. I have automatic login enabled which i guess i should switch off and add require password on wake for more security.
Thanks for your comments.
Matt

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.

We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

Destination directory for draft messages in Apple Mail (Mountain Lion)

Please could someone possibly tell me location of the Apple Mail draft messages directory.

How to auto-capitalize first word of a sentence in Apple Mail (Mountain Lion)?

I've looked around and found a few posts which say this is not possible. I hope that becuase this is not too strenuous a piece of auto-correct functionality - and even works in iOS that it surely must be possible to get it to work on Mountain Lion Mail....
I appreciate people will suggest learning to type. Thanks in advance for that. If anyone has genuine advice of how to solve this particularly irritating quirk, I would love to know.
It's particularly annoying as I'm in the process of converting a long time Outlook for Mac user to Apple Mail - and this is one feature they have pointed out immediately. (As well as a 'Move To' search box that Apple doesn't have)

I am also having this problem. Does anyone have an answer?
I jus upgraded from Pages 4.3 and it's in Preferences. Not so in Pages 5.0.

Problem with unchecking secure sockets layer checkbox in outgoing SMTP server Apple Mail / Mountain Lion

After installing Mountain Lion my mail was converted and all my messages showed up, however, when I try to send I get an error. I have traced this error to the fact that Apple has automatically checked the box "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)" in my Apple Mail preferences even though it wasn't checked before upgrading. Now whenever I try to uncheck it it keeps filling itself back in. I have tried to delete that outgoing server and readd it and it continues to check the box.

Hi
I have a similar problem here i have work accounts which do not need the SSL ticked but when I uncheck the box and in a few seconds the tick is back up again sometimes I have to click about 10 times or so for it to stay off. I tried to do your sollution it did not work on your suggested port but seemed to work on the 25 port . Also I found i only have the problem when I am at work were we are on a PC network and firewall. It seemed to work fine on a normal home line. Also it only happens on Mountain Lion I have a older macbook with snowleopard and there i have not problems sending messages
as right it was said Apple needs to look into that ASAP as it is very frustrating

Apple Mail in Lion not keeping accounts when quitting

When I add mail accounts that are not Mobile Me in Apple Mail, the account disappears each time I quit and restart Mail. Then I have to add the entire account again only to be lost the next time. So I can never quit Mail. I've always had several accounts in Apple Mail without issue. However, since I've updated to Lion, Apple Mail drops account every time I quit Mail. So when I relaunch Mail, the only thing there is my Mobile Me account. Why is this happening and how do I remedy it? Thanks!

Are you using the classic view or the new vertical view.
If the latter, I have noticed that unless you scroll right up to the top of the mail, the blue dot does not disappear.
Secondly, if you are using conversation mode, click the small arrow to expand the list of mails under that conversation, if one of them is not read or not scrolled right up to the top, it will show as unread.

HT1277 cannot find a way to install my OVI account in Apple mail (mountain lion)?

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion, now I cannot configure my OVI email account. Apple email configuration in Mountain Lion does not recognize the OVI mail as a Yahoo provided email address. It does recognized the fact that OVI is a Yahoo based address in OS 5.1. Consequently setting up my OVI email address on my Ipad and I Phones has been no problem.
I personally believe that this is a bug in the Mountain Lion software which needs to be corrected asap with an up date. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Apple Mail in Lion

I installed Lion on a 2009 (early) 2.8 Ghz iMac. all seemed well, but the first time I used Mail (I don't usually use it on this Mac) it wouldn't load and gave a long error message and said it had reported it to Apple. Ideally, I would like to reinstall Mail but don't know how to do that, as Software Update says I am uptodate. Can anyone help.please?

I had the same problem. Found this solution this morning! (The one regarding the smartmailboxes.plists)

Apple mail mountain lion keeps needing to be restarted

I have a new Macbook air with mountain lion installed. I have four Imap email accounts set up, three are gmail or google apps, one an opera fastmail account. If i leave the machine alone for a while all the account connections drop out and will only reconnect after mail has been quit and restarted.
I guess a good place to start would be the log files - but where are they?

The logs are here:
About This Mac (under the Apple logo in the menu bar) > More Info > System Report > Logs (quite a way down, under Software)

I am trying to add my Zimbra email to apple mail in Lion. No matter what I try i am either not able to connect to the server. I have the correct username, password, server address, act. But still no luck..Anyone got any suggestions? Im stumped

Have a Zimbra server at work for my work emails which I also use to recieve my emails on my Iphone. I have been trying to set up for email for our Zimbra server at work on my new Mac Mini's mail. I have server address, User Name, Password, and have tried all the various ways to set it up. On my Iphone 4 it is set up in the mail config as an exchange. I tried to copy the settings my iphone uses and imput them into the mail setup. Every time I have tried POP, IMAP, Exchange I get a message that it cannot connect to the server and I should check my connection to the internet. I kinda had a similar problem setting it up on my Iphone initially. I am starting to think that Apple is lacking when it comes to its native mail app. It has no problem registering my google email but for some unknown reason it wont take my work email through exchange. Really Scratching my head, any ideas?? Thanks again for taking the time to read.

I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/46221-mac-mail-app-dont-work-outside-company. html
in which the following ports were suggested
ports 25, 465, and/or 487 to send mail.
port 143/993 to retrieve mail over IMAP

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.

How to refine search settings in Apple Mail

I just started using Apple Mail in Lion, and I am not seeing a way to refine the search of my inbox. In particular, I would like to search my inbox by Sender, but I am not seeing how to search by sender or subject. Does anyone know how I might be able to do that?
Thanks in advance!

In the mailbox list, below the word "MAILBOXES" and the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, & Junk), you should have some lines like "SMART MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "RSS", "ON MY MAC", and a line with the name of each of your mail accounts. Each of those lines may have subordinate lines indented below it, or they may be hidden. Before Lion, the top-level lines would have standard disclosure triangles to their left like folders, but Lion Mail removed that visual clue in favor of a word "Show" or "Hide" to the right that appears only when you mouse over it.
The Gmail Spam folder you seek is two folders deep inside your Gmail account.
Here's my Gmail account listing:
It has 41 unread messages. If I hover my cursor over the oval with "41" in it, the oval shifts left and "Show" appears. If I click on "Show", I get this:
If I click on the disclosure triangle left of the "[Gmail]" folder, voila!
By the way, this intermediate "[Gmail]" folder is specific to Gmail, Google Apps mail sites, and other mail sites using Google's Gmail code, as is the All Mail folder. Other servers will have their own folder structure.
