Apple Mail versie 6.3 (1503)

I'm working with Apple Mail Version 6.3 (1503). A new e-mail message is marked as 'read' directly after selection. Is it possible to adjust this? I'd rather see that an e-mail is marked as 'read' after a double-click.
Ik werk met Apple Mail Version 6.3 (1503). Een nieuw e-mail bericht wordt bij selectie direct als 'gelezen' gemarkeerd. Kan ik dit aanpassen? Liever heb ik dat een e-mail bericht pas na dubbelklikken als 'gelezen' wordt gemarkeerd.

Hello there, LoesEkk.
This is occuring because you likely have the Mail Preview pane open. Because it is "previewing" the email for you, it considers that as read. You can change that behavior by hiding the preview pane. Follow the steps outlined in the following Knowledge Base Article:
Mac OS X Mail: How to show or hide the preview pane or mailboxes drawer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2583
The preview pane, the lower portion of the Mail viewer window, allows you to view a selected email without opening it in a separate window.
The preview pane is visible by default, but you may hide it by double-clicking the separator. You can adjust the size of the preview pane by dragging the separator up or down.
If the preview pane is hidden, or if its size is reduced, it may not be visible.
When shown, the mailboxes drawer appears on the left or right side of the Mail viewer window. You can show or hide it by clicking the Mailboxes button in the Mail viewer window. You can also hide the mailboxes drawer by dragging its outer border toward the Mail viewer window.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

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.

Cannot get or send mail using Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad

Everyone in my household cannot get or send mail on their Apple Mail for iPad and iPhone. We all get the same message: "The user name or password for [account] is incorrect." This just started happening yesterday afternoon. No problems before that. I called my hosting company and Apple, and both blamed the other. My Apple system is always updated, so I have the latest version of Maverick. Had no problems with it up until now.
However, I awoke this morning to find downloaded emails in the same program, but when I go to "get mail," it says the same thing, and still won't allow me to send or receive.
Here's the kicker. I also use Gmail with the exact same accounts (yes, I need both since Apple Mail does things that Gmail doesn't, and vice versa). No problem! I get all my emails and can send with no problem. So, my hosting company claims it can't be them (makes sense). It only happens using Apple Mail, and I have several email addresses. None of them work (other than the strange phenomena of suddenly getting some of them downloaded for no apparent reason).
What do I do from here? I've changed passwords, deleted and tried to set up my emails, only to get the message that they probably will not work. And they don't. I have shut down and restarted my iPad and iPhone, to no avail.
Thank god for my Gmail account, or my business would be closed.
Again, this is happening on four devices in my home: 2 iPads and 2 iPhones.

I have a comcast account I use on my phone and use it for receiving and sending mail. When you look at the account in settings, you need to check each of these
incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
username: the part of your email address before the @
password: your password
outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
Under Advanced
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 995
If you cannot make it work from changing settings in the account, delete the account and start over. Use the "Other" setting when starting the account. It is a POP3 account and make the entries I gave you. Once you do that, it should check the entries and validate the account. You shouldn't have any trouble from there. Those settings will work from either the iPhone on cell, or wireless. Mine will even work when I'm at home on my wireless there, which is on the Comcast network.
Hope that helps you.

Attachment downloading--is there a way to track percentage of big downloads in Apple Mail 5.2? (OSX Lion)

I have a satellite internet connection and have trouble with big downloads and connectivity in Apple Mail. I've discovered the Window/Activity button to track the progress of those downloads, but all it gives me is a rolling barbershop bar that never goes anywhere. Right now I'm trying to download fifteen attachments that came with a message, and some of the files (primarily pdfs) show up in their designated folders--others have not. Is there a way to track percentage on these downloads?
Also, each of the files seems to have three progress bars rather than just one.
All files are primarily 3-4MB.
Thanks,
Melissa

The inconsistent message text view and when the text for an received message is very small is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition.
Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
The Mail.app does not include a preference setting to convert all text for received messages to RTF or Plain Text so what John provided does not apply when receiving a message that was composed in HTML.
You can do as woodie provided or with such as message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and what John provided will apply and it also applies when the sender uses RTF or Plain Text for message composition.

I need to get a copy of my childs incoming and sent yahoo mail in Apple mail without it being able delete on either end to affect both?

How can I get a copy of my childs incoming and sent yahoo IMAP address e-mails in Apple Mail? It has to be without each being able to affect the other meaning ( if something is deleted in one it doesn't affect the other).
I did previously add my childs yahoo e-mail account to Apple mail but did not Sync it. But, as soon as I deleted an e-mail in Apple mail it did so in my childs yahoo mail & and vise versa. Is there another way I am missing?
Thanks in advance for your help it is much needed!

Apple Mail : Move emails from one account to another

Good Day,
I please need help with Apple Mail. A client of mine recently changed her email address from her webhost to online exchange. I setup her new email in Apple Mail and that is all working and nice.
Her Apple mail now shows 2 accounts:
- the old IMAP
- the new Exchange
I would like to consolidate all emails from her old IMAP account to her new Exchange account, so that they are all in one place. In Outlook you can just drag and drop emails and folders between the accounts, but my client says that that doesn't work in Apple Mail.
How would I go about moving these emails from one email account within Apple Mail to another?
Sorry for the trivial question, but I am a Windows girl and not as versed in Mac;)
Thanks for the help!

Try creating a new mailbox in the On My Mac section and drag the e-mails there. Mail/Mailbox/New Mailbox.

Gmail IMAP *was* working with Apple Mail - days later it's stopped working.

Hi all,
I recently started my Gmail IMAP account over in Apple Mail and Mobile Mail in order to get it working properly across an iMac, iPhone and MBP. I followed Gmail's IMAP settings to the letter and the only thing I couldn't get working was for the Trash folder in Gmail's server to take the place of the Trash icon that Mail has. While Sent and Drafts were represented correctly once I did the "Use this Mailbox for..." thing, Trash never moved up there.
Turns out that when I've been deleting emails in Apple Mail, they haven't been deleting in the Gmail inbox. They just sit there, label free. In the meantime, the fact that the server Inbox is stuffed full of label-less emails isn't reflected in the other applications, and deleting an email in Apple Mail does not delete it from Mobile Mail. Similarly, mails I've moved in Apple Mail from the Inbox to the Gmail folders are not reflected in Mobile Mail, where they remain in the Inbox. Furthermore, on the server the mails appear to have the correct label for the folder I moved them to in Apple Mail, but on the server they are still in the Inbox.
I'm confused. The Gmail server inbox seems to be acting like All Mail now - in that I move something from the Inbox and into a Gmail folder using Apple Mail or Mobile Mail, but on the server they just stay in the Inbox and have a label added. They sit in several places at once. This is not what's supposed to happen!
Furthermore, now any emails I write in Apple Mail and Mobile Mail start saving drafts every few seconds then saving these as new emails in 'Drafts', and on the server saving them as multiple different versions of emails. If I send an email, I do not need to save every single variation every 10 seconds. Even if I don't send an email I don't need that. It wasn't doing this before, why has it started now?
I thought I'd got this all sorted but clearly I don't.
How do I achieve the following:
1) In Apple Mail and Mobile Mail, have an Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash box at the top, in which changes are reflected on the server and vice versa.
2) If I move an email in the above software from Inbox to a Gmail folder, the email on the server moves from Inbox to that folder, but remains in All Mail.
3) If I delete an email on the above software, it's moved from wherever it is to the Gmail Trash folder, where it's deleted after 30 days. It does NOT simply lose a label and remain in the Inbox or even in All Mail. If I delete something, I want it gone EVERYWHERE.
4) Don't save my Drafts every 10 seconds. Ever.
It can't be that hard to do this, can it?

Hmm, turns out my iMac Apple Mail has been resetting the Mailbox activity settings for some random reason which would explain the drafts problem. Wonder why?

Sync With Apple Mail

Hi All
I have just bought an iPhone and I am really confused about the Mail side of things and was hoping someone could put me straight.
I use Apple's mail client into POP3 accounts and .Mac mail.
Before I had the iPhone I had my POP3 email set in in Apple Mail to pull down any new messages every minute and leave any messages on the server for a week in case I wanted to see them when using a web client.
I set up iPhone and it downloaded all the messages off the server/s. So, now I have two different inboxes - my 'main' one - Apple Mail - and the iPhone which are different at all times no matter whether I delete messages in Apple Mail or not.
So, I thought it might be better to set Apple Mail to pull messages off the servers completely when it checks each minute and delete any sent mail off the servers too. I would use the iPhone to show me stuff that comes in while I am away from my Mac. (I would have to quit Apple Mail for this to work if I left my Mac on).
Is this the way that you are meant to set the thing up? I had hoped that the iPhone would just look like my Apple Mail inbox but doesn't seem possible if iPhone references what is on the server directly.
So, I get even more confused when I press the curved arrow button at the bottom of an account's inbox and nothing changes to the list of emails on the iPhone. They should all disappear I would have thought now (given that all the emails have gone from the servers courtesy of Apple Mail's 'new' settings).
I hope someone can decipher my babble and help me out!
All the best
David

Yes - with POP3 the iPhone and Apple Mail downloads a copy of whatever is on the server. What then happens to those messages on the server is determined by your mail settings - whether the messages on the server are deleted immediately, at a later date, or never.
Yes - emails deleted on the iPhone/Apple Mail has no effect on what happens on the server with POP3 accounts. With an IMAP account, however, emails would be deleted off the server.
Emails sent from the iPhone do not register as sent with the POP3 server and therefore will not get picked up by Apple Mail (and vice versa). You effectively have two outboxes. An IMAP account, however, would allow you to sync the two.
You should be able to change your POP3 email to IMAP, although you may have to pay for it if you're using a freebie email address.

Apple Mail cannot encoding issues (Chinese Asian Language)

I've abandon Mail for almost 2 years, 2 issues I had before is the 'disappearing mail' and the encoding problem.
Now with my new MBP 17" I decided to use Mail again. I am getting the encoding problem again.
Things I tried already:
1. set the default encoding using Terminal to "BIG5"
2. check under 'Composing' preference for 'Plain Text', uncheck 'use the same message format as the original message'
3. Tried manually setting the encoding before sending. But in few instance Apple Mail tells me that there is an Error and cannot change the encoding. Even I succeeded in changing the encoding, there is no guarantee that the other side can read it properly.
This usually happens when I 'reply' or 'forward' a Chinese email to someone. So far it happens to the HTML type email.
Still I am getting problem sending mail that Outlook can properly decode by itself. To fix this from the Oulook side, they need to open the message by double click, select encoding for the message, and pick either UTF-8 or BIG5 (if the message is BIG5, select UTF-8 and vise versa) then the message will display properly.
I know this could be an Outlook problem (probably is) but I cannot tell my customer to change encoding each time. I really need a way to do this from the Apple Mail side.
The following is just one example of HTML email I replied and turns out to be BIG-5 under Outlook, but user need to select UTF-8 to view it.

Hi xxxx...... (body of the message)
I need help here, I still like the operation in Apple Mail but this is killing me. Please help.

Thanks but I tried these already. Didn't seem to work.
I switched to Thunderbird. Took a while to convert my mailboxes (30+ of them) from emlx to mbox and loaded into Thunderbird.
Thunderbird is ok, address book really ***** since it doesn't work with the OSX Address book at all. I had to use vcf2ldif to convert address book but the Chinese character in the Address Book all became ??? in Thunderbird. And the time it takes to convert 400+ address is long (I already filtered the address book from my 1000+ contact)
Font setting in Thunderbird is not good as well. Emails in my folders are in different fonts all the time due to the difference in encoding. I just need to get used to it.
If Apple Mail can just handle encoding better, I will never switch. Both my customer and my family are having same problem, (because we all read/send Chinese Traditional email) Apple should do something. Already send email regarding this to Apple, and if there are other people with the same problem as me, pleas let Apple know about this.

Can u mark messages as "read" in iPhone after reading them in apple mail?

As the title says. I'd like to find a way to have all my emails marked as "read" in my iphone mail after I've read them in my apple mail or vice versa. I belong to an email mailing list that I receive about 30 emails every day on that I'd like to not show up in my iphone but they're sent to my main account that I have linked to my iphone. Aside from just that email blast. I'd like to not have to go in and automatically delete or open then back out of all the emails that I've already read. And I dont want to delete them cause most of them I need.
Any help?

Got it, I did have to disable POP because my Gmail account in my apple mail was set up as a POP mail. I then had to create a new account with the same email address and it set itself up as an IMAP account. Was super easy. Now I have all sorts of folders for it too even. Only problem is, I cant rename the mailbox for some reason.
Anyone have any bright ideas on that? I want to rename the mailbox in my apple mail. Right now its just called "gmail"

Syncing Multiple Gmail Accounts including Labels to the Apple Mail program

First please point me to the correct thread if previously discussed;
I currently have multiple Gmail accounts; with each account I have several "labels". I am trying to sync my multiple Web-Gmail accounts and labels(folders) to the one Mail program (i.e. Have each gmail account/labels show up in Mail as they do in Gmail). Is there a way to sync/coordinate the Gmail accounts & labels with Apple Mail and sync vise-versa (ie. move to an email in Apple Mail to a Gmail label(folder) then it sync the same in Gmail, or move an email in Gmail then it updates the same in Apple Mail)?
Appreciate the help!

i have it working now. i have gmail forwarding my email to my me/icloud email, which are then pushed to the device instantly, when i respond it shows as coming from my gmail account since i disabled the apple outgoing smtp server and am using the gmail one. i just tested it a bunch of times, gmails are definetly being pushed to my iphone and ipad, coming thru instantly.
the only problem i cant figure out is why the iphone 5 is so slow to send thru the gmail server when the ipad sends instantly.

Apple mail and Entourage duplicate email receipt

I noticed a new problem running Apple mail and Entourage mail on the same imac. Every incoming email to apple mail now also appears in the entourage inbox even though they are separate accounts with different services. The apple mail is a .me account using imap. The entourage mail is a pop account. I have used this setup flawlessly for the past 2 years, and have no idea why unexpected duplicate emails now occur in both inboxes. It only occurs with email sent to the apple mail account, and not vice versa. I don't know if this is related to a recent mac os x update on iMac to the latest version 10.6.4. I have made no preference changes to the email accounts. Anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Are you using POP email? If you are look into Mail's Preferences, Accounts tab, highlight the account, Advanced tab and make sure you don't Save message of the server after download for days.

Isp email through Apple Mail on iMac?

I am in Cleveland, Ohio and have ATT-uverse bundled service. It takes hours to find a person to talk with vs. the ATT computers. Several day ago my @sbcglobal.net email quit connecting to my Apple Mail app. Apple tech told me I needed specific info from ATT and gave me a set of questions to enable configuring after ATT changed settings on ATT.mail. ATT techs do not know seem to have the info needed. Does someone else with an iMac using ATT-uverse including Internet? Terry

Check the AT&T Support page for email server settings:
Email server settings (POP and SMTP)
It has all you need to know to set a mail client (any mail client) for POP/SMTP, assuming here that is what is being used.
FWIW, while I don't think it makes a difference, somewhere, sometime, AT&T quietly changed the documented POP/SMTP server names. Where it was once pop.att.yahoo.com/smtp.att.yahoo.com, it is now inbound.att.net/outbound.att.net. I still think the yahoo servers work though.
Note, I also have AT&T U-verse and never have any problems with their mail servers. Full disclosure though. I don't use Mail.app as my mail client except to answer questions in these forums like this. But Mail.app works every time I fire it up.

ICloud alias pop-up menu in Apple Mail – how to limit choices?

Now that Apple has added @icloud to the options for .mac/.me e-mail addresses, my menu of aliases has become too cluttered. See pic below for what I have to scroll through to pick everytime I create a new message.
There's got to be some way to remove all the @icloud aliases from the menu, isn't there?
Help?

U-verse may use Yahoo servers -- meaning that Yahoo owns and manages them for AT&T, or vice versa -- but at least in my case, not the same physical servers. My U-verse servers are inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net.
I've had my bellsouth.net account for years and it did use a something.yahoo.something, and I accessed it via my Charter Cable provider. But when I swiched to U-verse last month, it didn't work and I had to change my server settings to att.net using POP3.
My specific Yahoo account was one I accessed only rarely, and I used the web; I never bothered to set it up in Apple Mail. Indications at Yahoo.com mail help pages are that you do indeed need the paid-for POP access. They refer to it as POP forwarding, but there seems to be no way to get past it and tell them that I don't want to "forward" -- I just want to access.

Why can't I automatically forward from Apple Mail to Gmail?

Why can I no longer automatically forward mail from Mac Mail to Gmail account automatically. This worked fine till a few days ago but no longer. I hadn't changed any settings. have asked about this in Gmail forum but no useful answers, I have now changed various setting but makes no difference. Most of the Gmail help is oriented to Mail 4.0, I have 3.6, so that doesn't help (can I upgrade, I have OS10.5.8), I uploaded MailUpdate but it would it wouldn't let me install).
Maybe there is a way via Mail Forward but that seems for forwarding _from_ webmail _to_ Apple Mail.
All help gratefully received.
Thank you,

I suppose Gmail is forwarding to Apple Mail but not v versa, hardly anything at all is landing in Gmail.
My Apple Mail is a POP account, but IMAP -enabled in Gmail if that makes sense, Gmail help says that's what you should do to forward from POP to Gmail.
I want to forward them to Gmail so I can read my POP mail on my PC at work, as I said this worked beautiflly since I started in Feb till last week, then stopped for no apparent reason... As alternative I use mail2web which is just about okay but very slow, no outbox, no spam or other filtering, keeps timing out.
Yes something is doubling up but not sure what...
In my Apple Mail I have two accounts, both POP, one my regular apple mail account, the other my Gmail account, but settings are different according to Gmail help but not sure if they are right any more..
thanks again
