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?

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

ICloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?

Question for those who know iCloud.
If I am using iCloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?
Have 2 email accounts currently (yahoo and gmail), and use smart rules to move my email to them for organization automatically, issue is then I cannot see them on my iPhone mail, they are there, then "gone" when moved to the iMac folder.

I don't see any evidence of an iCloud account there - do you actually have an @icloud.com address? iCloud syncs only its own email, it has no relationship to any other service.
However, if both your Mac and your iPhone are receiving, for example, Gmail, and you move a message on your Mac from the Gmail mailbos to a mailbox in the list under 'On My Mac' then this removes it from the GMail mailbox and as it's only on the Mac the iPhone cannot see it. In order to do what you want you have to create any new mailboxes on the GMail account itself and move the messages there.

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 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.

Apple Mail Won't Let Me See My Responses to Emails

If someone could help me with my problem that would be great!?
I recently have had Apple Mail problems where when I select the arrow(response) image to my emails to view the entire converstation it only shows me the person's response. I know that I should be able to see my replies as well as the other person's entire conversation. I can however view my sent messages without a problem.
What am I misisng?

I found a solution......
It turns out there are several related threads like this one discussing the problem.
First, I attempted to reindex mail using the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4801?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
after deleting the "envelope" files and restarting mail you get a message as you did when you first used mail after upgrading to OS 10.8. Click OK and allow the re-import of all your old mail.
I have 65,000 emails on my mac, so this took a while, about 35 minutes.
Bad news: It didn't make any difference. double clicking the "see reply" icon still did not work.
So... I looked around some more and found this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2464211?start=15&tstart=0
Read to the end of that thread...
THERE IS A FIX!
It is a bizar bug it seems and it was answered above.
Go to mail - preferences
select the account and account information
go to outgoing mail server and edit list (It does not matter if it looks correct)
Edit the list and enter the details again. Make sure the newly entered one is the one selected.
And then it now works!
Phew this was driving me mad.
Surely the solution can't be that simple?
I gave it a try, and guess what... it appeared to work. Double clicking on the curly arrow now calls up the reply in a new window as it should.

HT201342 In Apple Mail, how do I change the default outgoing address for mailboxes that I've set up?

In Apple Mail (Yosemite on a MacBook Pro), the default address for outgoing messages from mailboxes that I've set up that are *not* tied to separate email accounts has suddenly become my iCloud address (which I almost never use). I've got my default set to use whatever address is the default for the mailbox I'm in. This works fine for mailboxes associated with different mail accounts, and until recently it worked fine for mailboxes that I had set up for convenience, using my default email address (which is an Earthlink address I've had for many years). Somewhere within the last year, perhaps with an upgrade to the OS, I've found that outgoing mail from one of those mailboxes (but not from the general Inbox) defaults to my iCloud address. I have to manually choose a different address each time (which is hard to remember to do). This is new behavior, and very unwelcome. But I can see no way to change the default email address associated with each mailbox.
How do I undo this unwanted connection?

Hi everyone
Sorry however I'm experiencing a similiar issue, in that I have 10 differing email accounts.
However in the default email accounts, for some bizarre reason, only 4 show, being icloud, one of my older yahoo email accounts, my work email and then "From My PC".
I run two other businesses of which I have a proper Google Mail Business Accountsfor each, but non of my google email address show in the default list.
Is there any reason why?
I actually want one of those to show.
I have put my google mail to the top of the inbox, however it still doesn't show?
I've also put the default calendar as my google business account but still the default account doesn't display.
Any ideas?

Apple Mail won't connect to Gmail

My Apple Mail 4.5 has been working fine up until a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what happened, but now it won't connect to Gmail. It says something like port 993 time out? I've been searching online to find solutions, but none of them seems to work. I can still log in thru webmail and I've already checked to see if my POP and IMAP are enabled in Gmail settings. Please help Apple Geniuses. Thanks.

Anything here help?

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 won't close

hello,
I'm on a new imac using apple mail (setup with 3 imap accounts).
apple mail works fine when using it, but when I'm done with it and choose to quit the program, it gets stuck. It just sits there and won't quit.
I have to open a command line and do a kill -9 to kill apple mail.
What would cause this?
the same imap accounts work perfect on mozilla thunderbird.
Thanks,
Oskar

Hello Oskar.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer. What do you see there when Mail refuses to quit? Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it’s doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting that information easier, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

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 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.

Mail won't 'see' my existing messages

I have trouble with this everytime I have to migrate Mail data.
My iMac's HD failed last week, and the external used for TimeMachine failed just days earlier - ugh!
I have copied all Mail data into the Mail folder, and went through setup (allowed Mail to create my accounts again), but it will not 'see' any of my existing copied messages.
It even sees all the individual folders I have created over time for archiving emails, but nothing is in them.
I checked the Mail folder, and can successfully QuickLook all messages I've spot-tried, so the files appear OK.
How does one get Mail to 'accept' existing messages copied into it? The data was from Mail on the other HD too.

This is because Mail has not had a chance to build the proper index for the copied folders. Either use the Rebuild command on each separate mailbox, or there is another more global approach.
Also if you had copied both the com.apple.mail.plist from Home/Library/Preferences, and the Mail folder, then you would not have had to set the accounts up again. This is about the only sure way to Import account folders, although Import will work with other, On My Mac mailboxes.
More info, please, about exactly what you have done.

Why am I not seeing the people CC on an email in my apple mail but I see them on my iphone?

I just received an email with 5 other people CC'd in on the email. I can see them clearly on my iphone but one my iMac in Apple Mail I can only see the sender.
thoughts?
thanks!

I have checked "Use classic layout", in Mail / Preferences / Viewing, and this is an example of the header of a test email I sent to myself and cc myself.
Is that what you need?
