Apple Mail with Leopard

It seems like there are two kinds of people. Some send email with subject lines and some without. I'm surprised Apple doesn't give us a choice to avoid that annoying reminder in Mail preferences. Does anyone know how to register a suggestion with Apple? Applecare just told me to go to a feedback page but Mail wasn't listed as a choice to leave feedback. Thanks.

If you think about this carefully, why would anyone want to read a message without a subject? It's a common tactic with spammers, and in my view, I've decided that for anyone who can't provide a subject in their email, it's not worth reading, so it gets deleted immediately.
You need to provide a Subject for all email. Because it's a tactic of spammers, many email servers will flag email without it as spam, and many companies will filter it out so that it's deleted before it ever reaches the intended recipient. It's not hard, and it takes only a moment, so there's no reason not to do it.
If you want to give feedback about this, you can do it on the Mac OS X Feedback page -- you would choose Design/Ease of Use for the Feedback Type and Mail as the Feedback Area.

IMAP, Gmail and Apple Mail in Leopard

Has anyone got Gmail IMAP to work properly in Apple Mail in Leopard?
Although IMAP is still being rolled out, it's arrived on my 'spare' Gmail account so I tried it out in Mail on Leopard - with very mixed results.
I followed the official Gmail instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77663&topic=12761
then looked here: http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
for some additional help.
It does sort of work, but Messages don't usually appear in the InBox and setting Gmail folders to be for sent mail, deleted etc as per the second link doesn't seem to work that well.
Anyone had a good experience with this? Got any tips?
Thanks

I am using it. It is working pretty well. You do have to set up your account manually. Note the following recommendations from Google:

I have a post detailing my setup here:
http://pt.withy.org/ptalk/archives/2007/11/gmailimap_on_myiphone.html
The one problem I am having with Leopard Mail is that despite setting my account to not move deleted messages to the trash, and having Show Deleted Messages enabled per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9911.html
When I delete a message it disappears from my InBox immediately, and there is no Undo Delete Message action available (as there used to be in Tiger Mail). The message is still available in my All Mail folder under [GMail], but I sorely miss the ability to quickly un-delete a mail message... Hope this will be fixed in 10.5.1!

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
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
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 after waiting 10 seconds. 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 and again when you log in. 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.

HT2500 Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.

Apple Mail with Office 365 Exchange server

Is anyone here using Apple Mail with Office 365 Exchange server on Mountain Lion? I have just upgraded to Mt Lion and decided to switch from Outlook to Apple Mail.app. My account was added successfully. Even contacts, calendar, tasks and notes work very well. My problem with Mail.app is that it does not sync any emails in subfolders prior to the day I added the account to Mail. For any older emails I have to open Outlook for Mac and look it up there. Other than this issue Mail is working well for all new incoming and outgoing emails.
Thanks

I Found a workaround. Please look at this other link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6615135

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?

Hey it4daddy73,
What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
Hope this works, and good luck.

After Leopard upgrade can't send mail in Apple Mail with dot mac account.

Just upgraded to Leopard and now I can't send mail through Apple Mail. Checked smtp and that's OK. How do I check what ports are open? That may be the problem. I looked at the Apple trouble shooting page and did everything there except the port check.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Lou

Fixed my own problem. I put in the SMTP address but didn't save. Once I saved it worked.

Tiger Mail with Leopard

New iMac 2.4 Ghz - OSX 10.5.1. Since I loaded Leopard, mail will send to server smtp.att.yahoo.com successfully one time in four tries. Error message says server doesn't support authentication. Standard speed AT&T DSL. Receiving mail and send or receive mail in Yahoo mail is solid. Mail will send through AOL server every time. All settings are correct. Second level of Apple Help couldn't fix. AT&T help has convinced me that because Yahoo mail uses same authentication logic the problem is in Mac Mail. Have reinstalled Mail and Leopard. No Help.
Can I remove mail that came with Leopard and install the older version that was with Tiger? It worked fine.

Try going to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Outgoing SMTP Server for the email account you're having a problem with/Edit Server list/click on the server you're having the problem with/Advanced tab and enter 587 in Server port box, Authentication Password, enter your account's user name and password.
I've been having odds and ends of SMTP issues for years from home because I use DSL on a local phone network. It won't allow authentication when used at home because I'm already logged into the network at home. But, away from home one MUST use authentication. Similarly, Earthlink won't allow access to its SMTP servers from another ISP's network, assuming your computer may be generating SPAM email since it can't confirm who you are. The work around is to use port 587 with your email account's authentication. Not everyone opens port 587, but it works more often than not.

Advanced Search in Apple Mail with Logical Expressions (Attibutes)

We need to be able to search in Apple Mail, currently version 3.6 (936), with advanced expressions such as the junk mail flag.
We want to search only within mail flagged as junk with a specific domain, such as a domain.com. Users are not using Junk Mail moving to junk folders yet. All junk is in the inbox until they train the rules.
Logically speaking this would look something like, FLAG:JUNK FROM:Yahoo.com. I have been unable to find the attribute for flag. It would also be helpful if there was a listing of all attributes that can be searched within mail. This type of list is available through various sources for Spotlight.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Bill
Many thanks for the kind reply. I finally installed Thunderbird and so far everything is good. Time Machine would, were I using the laptop in a more traditional setting, help resolve this issue. However I am prepping for a year + back pack trip to South America and elsewhere and the MacBook Pro is going along. What I have done is install Time Machine Editor (since Time Machine is parsimonious about daily updates) and update now once a week. Better than nothing and given what my schedule on the road may be like its a better fit than once a day. One would think Apple would make Time Machine more controllable particularly in the versions of OSX that are installed in laptops.....
In any case this is my first MacBook Pro and my first Apple computer but I am a long time Linux/Unix user so feel right at home with OSX. In spite of the mail problem, this is without a doubt the best laptop I ve ever used....and I ve been using them since they were suitcases
Regards and many thanks for the kind read and reply.

Apple Mail with defunct smtp trying to display 800 alerts or so

Apple Mail, after upgrading to Maverick, now tries to display > 800 alerts for automatic mail forwards that it apparently now cannot send because of some issue I probably have to troubleshoot. It deadlocks to that behavior, too, so each time I force quit out and try to re-open is like rewind/ play.
The problem must be that Apple Mail seems to have an entirely un-interruptable sequence of actions that the user has entirely no control over whatsoever. It first will open the mail and mailboxes. And even though I can try to be fast and change settings to "try to send later" instead of "present list with SMTP options", the step of " trying to understand what user means by changing that setting" has not been programmed yet.
So with great irreverence, I can do whatever I want and Apple Mail will always end up trying to pull up >800 single little alert windows telling me the most obvious, which is, that it cannot send a message, .
It would have been enough to present exactly one error saying "cannot send >800 message". Or to start with a preferences dialog without going into uninterruptable auto gah gah.
Where would I find a text file with Apple Mail preferences that I can edit to change the behavior of the program? Deleting ~ / Library / Mail / ... / Drafts did not cause any effect as all drafts and subsequent errors remained there stubbornly but reliably.

Apple Mail crashes when I try to print after installing Mavericks...

Can't sync Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo

Hi all, I really hope you can help. I have e-mail accounts with Gmail and Yahoo, and I'd really like to set either or both of these up in Apple Mail, primarily so that it will be really quick and easy to send people photos from my iPhoto library.
I've put in the correct info and I've enabled POP and IMAP in my Gmail settings, but when I try and set up it just says "checking connection to server [email protected]" for ages and doesn't acheive anything. When I did somehow manage to set it up briefly, I tried sending a message and it just dissapeared when I pressed send, didn't appear in my sent mail either in Gmail or in Apple Mail, and was not delivered.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm really frustrated that something that should be so simple could be such a pain - setting up e-mail on my iPhone took seconds and works perfectly! Thanks,
Malinna

Hi Malinna,
Did you follow Google's instruction on how to setup Mail.app and GMail?

Setting Up Apple Mail With Multiple G-Mail Addresses

I have tried unsuccessfully to do this and need some help or for someone to say it will not work.
I have recently gone all Apple (MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone) and have an iCloud account set up. I love the sharing and synching but I am having a horrible time setting up the Apple Mail to work with my google account.
I am using OSX 10.8.2
PROBLEM
To have the Apple client retrieve all gmail from several gmail addresses and synch them across all devices and allow me to respond with the appropriate email address.
I have several email addresses that are handled by Google now. Example
[email protected]
[email protected] (I own the domain)
[email protected]
[email protected]
When I receive an email, and want to reply to it, I want to reply with the appropriate email address. I have tried and it alsways seems to default to the main google mail addess. Similarly, I would like to be able to start a new email and select which address I send from. An d finally, as a bonus--is there a way to create signatures for each of them?
Thanks

Thank you!
So, instead of having several email accounts under a single gmail sign-in, I need to have X separate ones? It might make sense then at this point to blow my domains out of google and just create them individually in Mail. Right?

How to sync the apple mail with exchange servers?

Hello, I am trying to configure the Apple Mail app to sync the mailboxes with the corporate EXCHANGE SERVER. The mails did not sync as I click, Is anybody had the same problem? is there any special configuration?
vanderlei

Unlike Gmail, which is set up as either an IMAP or Exchange account, POP accounts will delete messages from the server when they are retreived by an email client, such as your iPhone. The only way to keep them longer is to change the Delete From Server setting on your account (if present) to Never. (This is supported by many, but not all, POP accounts). This is usually found on your phone in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>tap your POP account, tap Advanced (usually under Outgoing Mail Server), tap Delete from Server, set to Never. As for the messages already deleted, unfortunately they can't be retreived at this point since they have in all likelihood already been deleted from your POP account's server. Also, you can't recover them from your iPhone backup as the backup doesn't not contain email messages.

Can't send email using Apple Mail with Verizon

My Verizon settings in my Apple Mail program will not send mail. I am using my correct password and userid for authentication. I use outgoing.verizon.net server and port 587. Should I be using a different port setting?

port 110 is the port number for the incoming (pop) mail server, port 25 is the port number for the outgoing (smtp) mail server. If they were insisting that you use port 110 for the outgoing (smtp) mail server, that is because the tech support rep with whom you spoke was not a very clueful person. These are established standard port numbers for those services.
PS- should you have found anyone's post in this thread helpful to you, like Jim's, consider clicking the "helpful" or "solved" buttons in the header of said posts and if you don't click the "solved" button ("helpfuls" alone don't mark a thread as "answered"), then also consider marking this thread as "answered" for the benefit of others searching out a solution to a similar problem with their Verizon Mail configuration.
