Apple Mail - "Reply All" bug!?

I have a number of "rules" (being old school I prefer to call them filters) that place any new mail into a designated folder (ie. mail from @apple.com move message to mailbox "Apple").
It used to be that when I did a "reply all" from ANY email, my email address would not be included. Now if I do a "reply all" from my "inbox" no problem but if I do it from a filtered mailbox folder it will add my email address. SO I have to now go threw the 4 or 5 or more email address that may be there and remove my email address. That alone is somewhat anoying but it really becomes anoying in that I am (as most are) a creature of habbit and I always use the keyboard cmd-shift-r.
I have made sure that "Automaticlly Cc myself" is turned off and I have checked to make sure that it is the same on a generic machine... anyone have any ideas how I can turn this "feature" off?! In other words NEVER Cc myself.

Apple Mail inbox "all" selected can't unselect. Tried quiting; tried restarting. Mail freezes then unfreezes. When going to View and clicking on Select, nothing opens, freezes. After 30 seconds, it opens up, everything in the inbox remains selected.

Hi Edwin,
Try force quitting the Mail app:
Option+Command+Esc, then select Mail from the list. See if that helps.

Apple Mail, Fonts all out of Sync

I have been using MS Outlook.com for my e-mail for some time. It works OK but has its limitations.
I have recently started using Apple Mail, with my Outlook.com mail account.
Unfortunately mails look ridiculous - the fonts are all over the place. For example, I receive a mail sent from a business colleague. When I reply, it shows my Reply in 11point, but the sender's mail in 15 point. It obviously wasn't sent in 15 point, but it means that my mail will look horrible when it is received and printed.
I use Outlook at my work and - as you would expect - all mails come in and are responded to at the size they are sent. Most business users use Calibri 11, so when their mails are received they show up as Calibri 11 and when I reply they 'stay' as Calibri 11. But using Apple Mail, that same mail shows up as Calibri 15. Why is this and how can it be fixed?
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.
I have, but it doesn't help. When I compose a reply the original message is again showing on my screen as a 15 point font message, which is what it is when I then send my message. That will look awful on the recipient's computer.
I have tested it out by sending a mail to my Outlook mail from my work mail account. My work e-mail account uses Outlook and send mails with a default font and size - Calibri 11. So it should be received in Apple Mail with that font. It appears to be, but when I compose a reply, the message text increases in size to Calibri 15 point, even though my reply is in Calibri 11 point (which is what I have set it to be in Mail/Preferences/Fonts and Colours.
The only way that I have been able to fix this is to manually change the sender's font to Calibri 11 point, and then reply. But that is tedious and I don't want to have to do that every time I reply to a mail. It's easier just to reply by accessing Outlook.com through the internet and working of that.
Any advice appreciated!

OSX Mail : reply all - my email address is also in to/cc field

When i receive an email, and i hit Reply All, my email address is also in the TO or CC field. There is nowhere an option to disable this behavior.
I got this situation :
TO : email addresses of friends and my email address
FROM : my email address
How can i solve this ?

My Apple Mail app was doing the same thing. In my case I found a solution. It turns out that the email address that my coworkers were sending to was a duplicate email account with an alias. I added the alias to my current account settings by separating them with a comma. This allowed me to use only one account and kept my email address from showing up in the CC field when I hit "Reply All".
Example 1:
[email protected], [email protected]
Example 2:
[email protected], [email protected]
Hope this helps

Mail: Reply all includes own email address

Apple Mail in Yosmite includes my own email address when I reply to all.
I can't remember Mavericks or before used to do this.
Anyway, is there a way to turn this off?

Same here. I have three seperate mail accounts and when I reply to the emails within their respective inboxes everything is fine. But if its a message that is moved out of the inbox because a rule has been applied, then all bets are off. If I reply to one of those messages it cc's me and does not "Send from the Account of the selected mailbox.

Exchange/Reply All bug?

Recently mail has started including my own email as one of the recipients when I choose reply all. It only happens with my Exchange account and not my .me account. It's also not the BCC yourself option in settings. Any ideas why and is there a fix? Is it a new bug? Is it an Exchange setting? I just noticed it happening as of a few days ago.

Is there a work around for the Iphone? Like buying a separate texting app?
If so, do you have any recommendations?
I would like to get an Iphone because of its other features, but for work purposes (I work in a nonprofit with teenaged human trafficking victims) I need to be careful with my text messages.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

Hi folks,
I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
-- Josh

I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
(Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
Let us know if this helps or hurts.

How can I copy-paste text from Firefox to Apple Mail preserving all formatting? It works with Safari but not with Firefox, otherwise I'd pick Firefox

I have a very big list of correspondents to whom I often send articles.
I cannot copy them from Firefox and paste them onto Apple Mail because they look WEIRD and not at all like the original. Most formatting disappears.
I do not encounter the same problem with Safari, and THAT is one of the two reasons I am forced to use it even if it gives me lots of problems.
The other one is that Safari 5 has a built-in RSS reader, which is essential for my work.
If you could manage to have those two things working, I'd pick Firefox in a second and advertise the fact to thousands who would do the same.

Try one of these feed readers if the build-in Firefox reader doesn't suit you.

Apple Mail and gmail bug when sending attachment?

Hi,
And now for my own Mail question. Wondering if others have run into this bug?
Mac OS 10.5 MacBook Pro.
There seems to be a bug when trying to send Mail with an attachment (via a gmail account).
Over and over, Mail just hangs there.
But it works when:
1. Using Mail, the same email can be sent when I Remove the attachment.
2. Skipping Mail, and using gmail itself, the email and attachment are sent within seconds.
2. Email with attachment can also be sent from another email service (such as Earthlink).
Only when I am using Apple Mail, sending via gmail, With an attachment, is there a hitch.
Thanks again for your attention,
- Ross

Perhaps this problem is confined to Mail 3.0 and later, and Leopard. I cannot send attachments using gmail as the smtp server. I can log in to my gmail account, download an attachment, and send, with no problem as Ross has experienced. I get an eternal hang when trying to send the same message with an attachment from Mail. Any solutions yet? Thanks!

Mail "Reply All" and Bcc recipients

If I reply to an email and use "Reply All", will the Bcc recipients from the original author of the email be included in my reply?
I'm concerned that some people who I am not aware of may unintentionally receive my reply.
Thanks for any help.

Help please!!!
I am a new AppleMail user with a directory that along with individual email addresses, also has a 30 basketball players list in one group.
I tried to send out a blast to everyone asking if they are playing tomorrow? Everyone replies TO ALL with an "in" if they are playing, or "out" if they can not. That way everyone counts the amount of 'in's to see if we are playing or not.
They all got the email fine, but responded to me via email that there was no "reply to all" on my email blast.
That is a big problem.
I sent it from my directory, but it is like the system thinks that rather than having sent it to a group of thirty guys, it sent it to thirty persons individually. Perhaps it would not allow a 'reply to all' becuse of that.
I then tried something different.
As an experiment, I created a four person email group, dragged the group list icon to the address box for sending out emails, it accepted it, and I hit send.
It went.
My email was one of the four.
I got it, and it showed a 'reply to all' (which worked as I replied to all and I got the reply) but the other three did not get it.
So that clearly is not the answer.
By the way, I have a MacBook Pro using Mac OSX verson 10.5.8 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processing chip.
Memory 4gb 1067 MHz DDR3 if any of that means anything to you all.
Help!!!!
Any Apple Geniuses out there?

Mail: reply all

|With Mail, I find that the reply all button doesn't include the Cc addresses. Does anyone else get this, and is there a fix? It's a major pain....

Hi Paul,
I'm sure about this at all, but in Mail Prefs.>Composing, isn't there a field for
automatically CC myself. or you can change that to BCC? I'm not really sure
what that does exactly. That said, In some Mail that I get, there would be a
lot of people, perhaps a forwarded message, and if I select Reply All, the
sender ,to me is on top, but the CC field is completely full with all the others.
So, if I want other friends to get this Mail, I use the Forward option,Then theres
plenty room for them to go in from my Address Book.

Have multiple email a/cs' but apple mail sending all gmail emails from same account

I have 3 gmail accounts and 2 pop3 a/cs' ( that are piggy backed by the isp to web based/imap email servers) and using Apple Mail.
Emails are correctly received into the correct email address inbox.
However, when I send an email and despite whichever email address I select in the ' From ' box on the Compose page, the emails are always sent from the same email address. This issue only affects the 3 gmail accounts, the other 2 are working ok.
In Mail Prefs I have checked that the box " send new messages from " is marked " account of selected mailbox ".
If I use gmail ' direct ' ( not via apple mail ) emails are sent from the correct account as I obviously have to sign into that particular account.
It's as if I have a default email account from which all emails are sent but the settings seem to be to the contrary.
Appreciative for any help and guidance.

Solved issue by removing the gmail accounts and then reinstating them but giving the name assigned to the server in the description field, the same as the account name ie Gmail followed by email account name ( Mail Prefs > Account Information > Edit SMTP Server List then enter in description field accordingly ).
Though you did'nt actually provide an answer you nevertheless caused me to think further for which I thank you.

MAIL reply all to large message- "Cannot send message" how to get this to go away

I replied all to a large message and got the notification "cannot send message..." I usually press cancel or try again, but since the message was so large, I don't have access to either buttons. It won't allow me to scroll down and maximizing the message does not help. I have tried force quit and shutting down my computer, but everytime I reopen mail, the message pops up. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Apple Mail: Lost all Mail accounts and emails - after reboot - how to recover?

Here is what happened:
upgrade to 10.8.4.
macbook air froze
I held down power button
reboot took a looong time ... I nearly thought the little "meter" on the grey screen was stuck. But it finally came through:
I then logged in as usual
opened Mail
and nearly died, since all my 7 mail-accounts were gone + all emails gone
except mobile me account
tried restarting, restart mail.
mail crashed almost immidiately upon opening.
then I did what linc davis said in https://discussions.apple.com/message/22477277?tstart=0#22477277?tstart=0 and mail started anew, and now Mail doesn't crash straight away.
It seemed to import my mobile me mails, but comes up with the "!" sign next to my mobile me account and: "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.The server returned the error: The connection to the server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” on port 143 timed out."
I have verified that username and paswword are correct and saved in preferences.
But anyways; thanks to another post from you elsewhere I have located my 7 mail accounts in subfolders to something called the V2 folder. There are 6 POP accounts each in a folder and one I think is called EWS.
So: How to I restore these POP accounts in Apple Mail and reimport all my (vital) emails from the last two years?
phew, I have loved working in mac OX for as long as I remember ... but this experience, I could have done without.
I really, really hope some genius can help out. Thanks

Mail isn't showing your eMails correctly or what?
Might try this before we restore anything...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ does not exist.

Mail: 'Reply all' not functioning when 'Reply-To' specified by sender

Hello
I've been testing the behaviour of the Mail app when selecting 'Reply all' to a message that has a 'Reply-To' address specified. e.g.
Original message:
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]
Reply-To: [email protected]
On selecting 'Reply All' I get:
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
I would expect a Cc field with '[email protected]' included, but there is none. (My expectation is satisfied if I use Gmail rather than the Mail app.)
Any thoughts?

This is still a problem in 10.10.1. How can I not find more information about this or more people with this issue? It's driving me insane. It's such a stupid feature to have mess up. How hard can it be to point to the message that you forwarded/replied. It knows you did it or the arrow wouldn't show up to be clickable.
"Mail was unable to find your reply to the message "test". You may have deleted the message."
Wrong.
