Apple Mail won't receive some RSS URLs

This problem started when I restored my userfolder from a backup. Suddenly Apple Mail became unable to add RSS feeds. This only affects feeds I had previously, rsync was told to not backup RSS caches.
I can add new feeds, but all previous feeds refuse to be added to the sidebar.
I deleted every Mail file I could find:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.PubSubAgent/Cache.db
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.mail
...Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.mail..*.plist
~/Library/Mail/AvailableFeeds
~/Library/Mail/AvailableFeeds.corrupt
Does anyone know what is causing this?

I just ran the Connection Doctor again. For my first MobileMe entry (which I think is the incoming server), I got a "could not connect to this MobileMe IMAP server" error and the details say:

I've verified again in the settings that the incoming server in my Mail Preferences for MobileMe is mail.me.com (but it's grayed out in settings so I can't change it).
For my second entry (I think this is outgoing server), I got:

The only outgoing mail server which works is smtp.west.cox.net which allows me to send my MobileMe mail... very odd. But, I still can't send anything.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Apple Mail won't send invitations when initially closed

I just started using iCal to send invitations for appointments through Apple Mail. When Apple Mail is opened already when I create the appointment and click Send in iCal, it works fine. The mail is sent and delivered to the appropriate address.
But if Apple Mail is closed initially, the application starts and the invitation is queued up in the Outbox but is never sent. I can manually open up each invitation in Mail and send them individually, but why is the behavior different? Whether Mail is opened or closed when I send an invitation, it ought to deliver the invitation automatically. By not being sent, I may not realize the invitation hasn't been delivered, making the process very error-prone. Is there a way to guarantee the invitation actually gets sent without having to check the Outbox every time?
Is this an iCal bug or an Apple Mail bug? I saw no settings in Apple Mail for sending messages at shutdown or any other setting like this. Instead, these invitations may end up being buried in my Outbox for a very long time before I notice and by then, it may be too late.

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu. Do you know how to fix this?

mmchisholm - just so you know you're not alone, I too am having the exact same issue as of latest software update bundle. Have to manually add each photo until Apple issues solution or minor software update.

Apple Mail won't retrieve new mail from Yahoo IMAP

I've been using Apple Mail with my Yahoo/Rogers account via IMAP for months with no problems.
Starting a few weeks ago, new mail in the Yahoo Inbox does not get delivered to Apple Mail.
I know there's lots of new mail - I logged into mail.yahoo.com with Safari, and see lots of unread messages in the inbox.
It's not a password problem. The Connection Doctor shows 'green': access to both the IMAP and SMTP servers is successful.
I have many other IMAP folders configured, and they all sync fine between Yahoo and the Mac.
Apple Mail is configured to use imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 993 with SSL.
I've tried:
- rebooting the iMac.
- quitting/restarting Apple Mail
- taking account offline, then back on-line.
- Ctrl-clicking on the Inbox and forcing it to Synchronize "Yahoo Mail".
- calling Apple. I spent an hour on the phone with a pleasant tech there. He concluded it's a Yahoo problem.
I found one thing that fixed it temporarily: last week I deleted my e-mail account from Apple Mail. Of course, this deleted all my mailboxes in Apple Mail. Years of messages vanished. Then I quit Mail, restarted it, and configured it anew with my Yahoo account credentials. Mail then proceeded to log on to the Yahoo server and sync everything over IMAP. It took quite a while (over an hour), but eventually everything in my Inbox, Sent folder, and a couple dozen folders ('mailboxes') of saved messages reappeared. Including all the unread mail that had been waiting on the Yahoo mail server.
That was a week ago, and my Apple Mail inbox had receiving new e-mail with no problems until two days ago. Once again, new incoming messages are not getting synced. This 'fix' (delete all messages and resync from scratch) is not a practical solution.
Any ideas?
(iMac has 10.8.5. Mail is 6.6)

@riiich,
As I last reported, I temporarily 'fixed' it by deleting the account from Apple Mail and creating it again. Thanks to IMAP, Mail then synced all the mail folders (took a couple of hours - I have a lot of mail folders), and then it was working again. For a few days. Then the problem returned - new mail arriving in my Yahoo Inbox would not sync to the Inbox in Apple Mail.
I spent hours trying to resolve it. Changed password. Rebuilt Mail's index. Ran Disk Utility on my hard drive. Etc. Etc. I have a lot of server-side folders (>30), and thought that maybe Apple+Yahoo were screwing up due the large number of folders (a.k.a. mailboxes) to sync. So I migrated a lot of the folders off the server (setting up new mailboxes On The Mac) in which to file my messages. That didn't help. Meanwhile, I started using Yahoo's webmail interface so I could get my new mail. Then one morning (perhaps a week later), the inbox spontaneously started syncing again. I had done nothing the day before - it just started working overnight.
Based on this experience, I concluded that the F***-up is entirely on the Yahoo side and has nothing to do with my Mac nor Apple's software. My ultimate fix has been to abandon Yahoo Mail. Prior to Christmas, I moved my mail account to another service provider who provides IMAP. Then configured my Yahoo account to forward all incoming mail to the new server (which has a new e-mail address). Since doing so, I've had zero problems. All messages sent to my old Yahoo address get immediately forwarded to the new mail server, which has been syncing to Apple Mail with no problems at all.

Apple Mail Can't Receive Gmail

I am using the OS X v10,9.2, processor 1.3 Ghz intel Core i5. 8GB 1660Mhz DDR3.
After I update the latest version of OS X. My Apple Mail can't receive email, only can send out email.
After do the connection check, everything is ok. But I still can't receive email, but can send out email.
I Try to use my iPhone Mail to receive, it can receive mail and send out mail.
May I know what happen? Any sugestion and solution can help to solve this issue?

If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.

My iPhone 5 with latest version of iOS 6 won't receive some text messages (not iMessages)

My IPhone 5 with latest version of ios 6 won't receive some text messages. All text messages not received are from different people on the same carrier (not mine). Some messages come through if they repeatedly send them. I have tried resetting network settings. This fixes the issue for 10 minutes or so before I don't receive the messages again. I dont have iMessage on and I've tried a restore.

Hi,
I had the same issue.
After resetting the network settings everything works fine again.
YouTube App and the videos you posted above didn't play.
After resetting, they are playable.
Try it out.
Best regards,
Tolga

Apple Mail won't send or receive iCloud mail.

iCloud Mail is not working. I'm using OSX 10.4.11 and was under the impression that Mail would work, but it is not. I'm trying to use Apple Mail to send and receive mail with my mac.com email address and it has not worked since switching to iCloud. Do I need to change something in Mail Preferences? Can't find anything relevant on Apple Support.

I'm bumping this up to the top because I am having the same exact problem.
I have had my new Mac since Dec. and have never been able to use my Mac Mail account. I can only use my Verizon account, which I don't like. I had a PC before the Mac and used Outlook Express, which I did like but I would really like to find out why my MAIL account won't send email. I have fooled with this problem and at one time I did get it so that it would receive mail (but not send) but even now I can no longer receive mail in my MAIL account.
I wonder if I can delete the account and start over? I'm wondering if my daughter set it up incorrectly when she set my computer up for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple Mail won't send

a few weeks ago i upgraded from an eMac/panther to mini/Tiger. mail has worked fine. my router died and i had to get a new one. Mail stopped sending. I can send from Thunderbird but not Mail. Receiving mail is fine.
i checked and double checked my account settings in Apple Mail. i tried it without authentication and with authentication. no go.
what could be going on?

Its been a month now that I am using Mail 2.0.7 (should i upgrade to latest version?). I have not changed my router or done any hardware switch at all and Mail stopped sending my mail. I tried changing my account password and settings, I tried quitting Mail, restarting the computer many times, nothing makes Mail send my mail since the last 2 weeks.
I had this problem before too ( one week after starting using Mail) but for some reasons, all my messages kept in my Outbox also for a good two weeks have finally been sent.
I was with port 25 in my SMTP setting when using Microsoft Entourage as my main email client before so i kept this setting. Should I use another Port like the one suggested earlier in the thread?
Thanks for your help! I just hope Mail works better with my information than Entourage has in the previous years for me.

Apple Mail won't display messages in HTML

I'm using Apple Mail on my laptop to check email from an account other than iCloud and Gmail. I also use my iPhone and iPad to check mail from this same account. Sometimes, newsletters are appearing in Apple Mail in plain text format, and not in HTML format. What's unusual is that these same messages appear in HTML format on both my iPhone and iPad, so I'm guessing it's not a problem with my mail server, but with the Apple Mail application. Are there any settings in Apple Mail to ensure I view all messages in HTML format?
Thanks!

Emily -
My wife is having the same problem with her new MacBook Air. She never saw the problem on the old first-gen Air running Snow Leopard.
Here's what's going on:
The messages that are having the problem are encoded as multipart/alternative. That is, they contain this in the received message:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993"
Downstream, you'll find that boundary string whenever a new "part" begins:
------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
This begins the first part...the plain text part. On down the stream, you'll find the part header again:
------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.=
w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
That final <html> tag begins the bulk of the HTML code to render the graphical page. The block must end with a </html> tag to indicate the end of the block...but in this message the last line is:
<td style=3D"color: #000000; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10px; font-f=
amily: Arial,Helve
...and that's it. Obviously, the last word should have been "Helvetica" but ***the message was cut off***. I know this because if I open the message source window for the the same message in the gmail section (not the inbox section) the end of the message looks like this:
</body>
</html>
------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993--
...which is what I'd expect in a multipart MIME encoded message.
The amount of data that's missing from the end appears to be about one network packet's worth. I suspect what's going on is that mail is erroneously discarding the final packet of some mail messages.
BTW, I've taken the computer to the Genius bar, and we took the time to create a new user account and a clean mailbox and duplicated the problem there in the store. The genius was unable to recommend a solution to the problem, and suggested that I perform a reinstall-in-place of the OS. Haven't done that yet, as I consider that pretty thin gruel from the perspective of fixing the problem.
In the meantime, I'm trying Sparrow mail as an alternative mail client. So far, I haven't seen the problem using Sparrow (nor, for that matter, on OSX Snow Leopard.)
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'll post back in this forum if I come up with a solution. I'll follow the thread...if anybody has any ideas what might be going on please post.

Apple Mail won't save "Use Autodiscover service" with Exchange

Apple Mail is discovering the wrong servers when connecting to Exchange. I want to set it manually so I uncheck "Use Autodiscover service" and put in the correct servers. But when I quit and restart Mail, it automatically rechecks "Use Autodiscover service" and automatically picks up the wrong servers again. Can some one suggest why it won't save my setting and how to make the unchecked setting stay unchecked?

Well first, I'd recommend your IT folks configure Autodiscover to return the correct results ;-)

Apple Mail won't see changes in contacts

I have an Exchange account configured in my MacBook Pro (Mail, iCal and AddressBook). Normally the computer don't shutdown only sleep, and the Mail and AddressBook programas are allways running.
When I add a new contact or edit the email address of any other already registered, Mail won't show the new information until I Quit the application and start it again.
How can I do to Mail see any changes in AddressBook without close and relaunch the application?

Apple Mail won't take Gmail password

Okay, this is driving me insane...
New MacBook Pro, mail won't take my Gmail password, changed password, no avail. Fine, I'll use the web based. New iPhone 5. Mail won't take password. Grrr. Any help? There were a couple of posts about application specific passwords and clearing captcha, but I'm not running a google app account.

Apple Mail won't download .doc attachments

Lacking a specific "Mail" catagory I've posted this here. Less than Ideal I know but here goes.
This just started last week.
Many of us in the office and contractors we work with send .doc files by email. In the last four of five days (mid March 2014) Apple Mail no longer downloads them. See the attached image
We can see the document title with a download button above it. Clicking on the button does nothing. Right clicking and using "Save Attachment" yields a 0kb file. Right clicking and using "Open With" results in a blank Word document.
If I use mail clients other than Apple Mail (for example Thunderbird) the documents download correctly.
The problem is not related to spam filtering as we all use different services (and some use none at all).
This is the case across multiple macs using Mail. All the installs worked properly prior to about a week ago.
Is there a fix for this (other than everyone buying new machines and upgrading to newest software)?
Thanks.

Because Mail is part of OS X you will find a forum in it for the version of OS X you have installed. For example if you have Mavericks 10.9.x then search in the Mavericks forum.

Apple Mail - Load images for some email addresses automatically

Is it possible in Apple Mail to put some email addresses on a white list so that the images within their emails always load?
I don't want all images to load for every email I get, but I find it an annoyance to have to often load images from contacts I already trust.

AppleScript to the rescue! Thank you Linc Davis!!!
Still find it strange Apple doesn't have this built into the Mail interface as an option and have to run a script [grumble].
