Arial font issue in Apple Mail

I'm a designer.
I have a MacPro tower running 10.9.5
Apple Mail 7.3
and FontExplorer X Pro 4.2.1
I've had issues with fonts (as one does with so many) and finally got the cache cleaned up for one issue when a new one has popped up.
I have my mac restart every night, and it my login apps are Mail and Font Explorer.
When Mail first opens, my unread messages number in the sidebar are shown in "Last Resort" and the sender's email is shown as all pound signs.
Sometimes to fix this I quit mail, go into FontExplorer and turn Arial on and off, and then re-open Mail. Sometimes I can get it to fix itself by quitting and re-opening Mail a few times.
It's not a massive issue, but it is pretty annoying to see first thing in the morning!
Other than rebuilding my 6k font library, any suggestions on what's happening?

Try going to Applications/Font Book and validating the font. There may be option to do that in Font Explorer.

Changing font case in Apple mail

Cannot figure out how to change font case in apple Mail. For example if I accidentally typed my message in all CAPS how can I change my typed message to lower case ?
Any ideas ?

Arial Font Issue

I have been creating some technical manuals from FrameMaker using the print method. I have the print driver set up to embed all fonts. After the DPF has gone through reviews the PDF must be deited to provide an issue date and an inserted date before posting on the web. We have been using the touch up text tool w/Arial font as the security settings that are required do not allow for protecting the text from the typewriter tool. On some documents we were getting the warning that "the original font is not available..." becausse of the difference in how windows/Acrobat read the installed font. The text goes in the document just fine but in other places what was perfectly good text will change spacing to L ook Li ke This.
The Arial fonts I have been using are getting embedded as ArialMT. I understand that the Windows reads the Aril font as Arial but that it's real name is ArialMT, the MT standing for the producer, Monotype. when the touch up text tool is used it sees the Arial font as Arial and since that is not the embedded font hence the error message. I have found that setting the property in the printer drivers printing preferences "rely on system fonts only..." to unchecked allows the Arial font to be embedded as Arial instead of ArialMT. (I put this part in case it can help someone else). This setting gets rid of the warning but in either setting the touch up text tool still embeds a new Arial (CID) font. Does anyone know how to stop this??

Try going to Applications/Font Book and validating the font. There may be option to do that in Font Explorer.

Pop gmail issues with apple mail

I have one pop gmail account for two macs and two iphones. Normally we can retrieve email from each device. however, when my wife's macbook pro retrieves the messages using apple mail, the messages remain on the server but none of the other devices can retreive the same mail. My gmail is set up for pop. So the messages stay on the server until i personally remove them.
why can't our other apple devices retrieve the email that is still on the server after my wife's macbook pro accesses the server and retrieves the email?
thanks for your help.
hnhelton

I have each device to leave message on the server. We have it set up this way so that my wife and I can see all the mail that comes into our own devices. Then we can delete off each device as desired. I go in to the server once a month and delete old mail.
So to recap: My wife's macpro uses apple mail. it retrieves the mail from the server; but leaves it on the server. However, though the email is still on the server, the other devices cannot retrieve the email. it is like the email is old email that your device has already uploaded; but it hasn't uploaded to the other devices because my wife's mac opens the inbox on server first.
I know that this sounds confusing. it did not always work this way. for a long time any of our devices could open the inbox on the server, retrieve the messages and leave the email on the server inbox for the other devices. this issue is new.

Arial font issues

I am having problems with the arial font. Does it come with Tiger?
I do not see it in the System/Library/Fonts/ folder.
Does it come with Tiger? It is a universal font and I was wondering what I should do to have it available.

The list of fonts that come with Tiger is here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301332
As you can see, Arial should be in Library/Fonts.

OS Update 10.9.1 did NOT fix Gmail syncing issues with Apple Mail App?

Is it just me? Or is anyone else having the same issues of gmail still NOT syncing accross iPad and Mac Mail app in spite of the "update/fix" to OS? My mail on my three Macs and one iPad are still never synced corrctly. When I try "syncronize all mail boxes" in the mail app of the mac, it does not work.
I look directly at my Gmail online thorugh Safari on the Google site and see I have 2 emails in my IN box. Yet on one Mac it has 15 (13 of ehcih were deleted several hours ago). On another Mac it has 18. On the iPad it has it right as that is where I begain looking at end editing email today.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Gmail outgoing server issues with Apple Mail

Hi,
I'm currently running OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, and trying to set up my gmail account in Apple Mail. I can recieve mail just fine, but am not able to send mail. for the outgoing server i typed "smtp.gmail.com." When i look at the Mail Connection Doctor it says that the imap incoming was able to login in and connect, as well as the smtp is succeeding with its connection to the server. However I keep getting the message that says "cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail.com"
With the connection doctor window still up, upon trying to send my letter again, an error comes up...even though the connections are still good. The error reads:

If anybody knows what the problem is or how to fix it, I'd be greatly appreciative. In addition, I do have this account being fed to my phone, to which it can send/receive mail just fine.
Thanks

By default Mail should enter all the correct setting for Gmail.
It's asking for authentication.
Select to Edit SMTP settings.
Select your Gmail account from the list.
Click on Advanced.
√ Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Gmail likes port 465 but Apple default to all ports.
Make sure your password is entered.
Use the Connection doctor to test your settings. You should see green lights to show your receiving and sending settings are correct. Click on Show Details if you see a red light.

Solution to yahoo mail setup issues with Apple mail...

There have to be a lot of people out there who have a similar setup as me --- ISP is Verizon (FIOS), and am using an iMac w/OS X, v 10.7.4, and Apple Mail v 5.2. No matter what I did, I could not get Apple mail to connect to Yahoo's smtp server... (Gmail was not working either) I spent hours on this. FINALLY -- I discovered the problem. My FIOS router/firewall was on the maximum security setting, which only allows outgoing smtp mail to port 25! Once I changed that firewall setting (which allows outgoing smtp mail to port numbers other than 25), I was finally able to connect to yahoo's smtp server! Now my Apple mail works just fine. Here are the settings I used:
Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming port: 995
Outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing port: Used "custom port" set to 465
SSL is used for both incoming and outgoing servers, with password as the authentication method.
Full email address is used wherever it says "user name" in mail preferences
* This is with Yahoo Plus mail. And before you do anything with Apple mail, you have to make sure that you enable "POP" mail in your Yahoo Plus account, under mail - settings.
I hope this saves some people the hours of time that it cost me!!

I have managed to get incoming mail to work. It is the outgoing settings that are still not working on my system. I have tried every configuration. I have gone back and forth between Verizon and Apple Care too many times to count.
Do you have to turn down the security level on the FIOS router/firewall before making these changes? If you do, it probably makes the system more vulnerable to malware, etc.
I have standard Yahoo Verizon mail. I believe you can enable it for POP mail. It certainly always worked for me before. Like you I have tried everything. I was also told that my internet connection is PPPoE versus DHCP which may also cause problems. Like you, I have spent days trying to sort this out.

Having Some Mail issues on Apple Mail 5.2

Hi All - Having some mail issues lately with my gmail account Imap set up.
I can receive mail but when trying to send mail it pops up with the follwoing:
"Can not send message using the server smtp.gmail.com"
I tried deleting the gmail account on my iMac and setting it up again. in the set up It gives me two choices as an outgoing server:
smtp.gmail.com and just Gmail. If I choose Gmail I can send the messages, but is this secure? I've always used smtp.gmail.com for outgoing without any problems.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Thanks for responding BGreg - Yes everything looks OK under the advanced tab (see below) I never had any
"Red Dots" in connection doctor on the old smtp.gmail.com but it wouldn't work. The new outgoing server - labeled merely Gmail works and appears to be the same as smtp.gmail.com, but I've never seen this in the past - it's always been called smtp.gmail.com I wonder if Google changed the name?

Issue with Apple mail account? Please can someone help!

I was hoping I could contact an Apple support adviser, but it lead me to this forum - hoping someone can help.
My query is that my colleague does not receive any of my emails when I use my MAC me account. She is able to send them to me, however, when I reply they simply go somewhere but not back to her! They are not in her spam either, or stuck in my Outbox. It is baffling me. When I send emails to her now, I have to resort to using my Gmail account, which is proving more reliable I am tempting to get rid of this one!
Can anyone recommend where I go for help for this query or if you are able to assist that would be great. H

Hi Tony - thanks for the swift reply - I have tried this and it works fine. Not sure if this is at her end and the Onedrive email accounts. However she does receive messages from my Gmail just not from the ME account. I can see messages have gone from my Sent Items, with no bounce back! Ho hum if all else fails I shall stick to Gmail when I email her.

Apple Mail Issues After 10.10.2 Security Update

I've had outgoing mail issues in Apple Mail in Yosemite on my macbook pro consistently since the Yosemite update. I've tried multiple recommended fixes including deleting and resetting all accounts with the latest instruction from bluehost. Over the last several months, some "fixes" had seemed to work for a while, and then the problem would resurface. The "on the fly" fix is always to quit mail, cycle my wifi off and on, and then reopen mail, at which point, the hung-up emails all send and things work fine for some period of hours until the problem comes back.
Interestingly, the problem seemed to finally disappear on its own a couple of months ago! No problems for that period of time! UNTIL I updated my macbook pro with the latest Yosemite security update a couple of days ago. Now the problem is back with a vengeance!
Any help would be appreciated!

I have tried to quit mail and turn wifi on and off with no results whatsoever. This is really frustrating, I can't work!

Major Apple Mail Issues with GoDaddy

I am having MAJOR ONGOING issues wiht Apple Mail that is negatively impacting my ability to work. It's gotten to the point of complete frustration and just considering going back to a PC, it's THAT horrible.
1) I do not regularly receive emails from 2 of my 4 GoDaddy accounts in Apple Mail. Sometimes emails will appear if I close Apple Mail, and then reopen. Sometimes they never appear in Apple Mail. Sometimes they appear randomly - and sometimes they again disappear. Everything is configured correctly (and the same as the functioning GoDaddy accounts) so I know it is not the setup. I NEED TO RECEIVE MY MAIL!
2) I can't move/delete/change anything from the same GoDaddy affected account inboxes in Apple Mail. I file the emails into folders on my Mac, and as soon as I click on another message, they reappear in the inbox. Same if I delete them. I've rebooted, tried a million different settings, delete the account all together and readded, and nothing works. So I have a jumped inbox of several hundred messages, and no matter how many times I file/organize/move/delete emails, they all just go *poof* back into the Inbox. What gives?!
I am so frustrated and my inability to work is more than a small problem at this point. I work in digital marketing, so to say that I need a functioning computer with a functioning email program is an understatement. This Macbook Pro cost over $3k and is less than a year old...funny how for that price I'd just expect it to work.....
I've read through multiple threads on this issue, and tried a million and one fixes, all to no avail. Reboot. Recreate email account. Change password. Update account settings. Test different account settings. Tried with and without SSL. Sometimes it works for a few minutes or if I'm really super lucky, a few hours...but always goes back to these issues.
Is there any resolution in site?

Step 1, take a deep breath and relax.
Step 2, the Mac is not the issue
Step 3, pay attention to the GoDaddy email configuration.
Answer all of these accordingly.
Have you tried deleting and adding the accounts back one at a time?
Yes, repeatedly. Same thing happens
What message protocol goes GoDaddy support? If you are using POP, have you tried IMAP?
Tried both POP and IMAP. IMAP works better. As mentioned in OP, I have multple GoDaddy accounts. All the rest work. 2 are having these issues. ALL GoDaddy accounts have identical configuration, so I know they are properly set up.
What does GoDaddy say about mail client configuration?
See above reply.
Have you tried using webmail?
Yes, works fine. All messages are there. Issues is not with GoDaddy, but with Mac.
Have you tried forwarding your GoDaddy email to another email acccound like iCloud?
Yes, this also works fine, however I need my work signatures for my different clients/programs hence the separate accounts in Apple Mail. Again the issues is with the Mac.
1. thanks.
2. the Mac is the issue
3. already done
Notes above.

Apple Mail Assertion Failure

Hi,
My company uses Office 365 for hosted Exchange email. We have 1 user who uses Apple Mail on OSX 10.7 to connect to the server in Exchange mode (using EWS). This was working great until a few days ago where he has sporadic connection problems. Reproducable situation below:
1) Select 100 emails in any given folder
2) Drag/drop those emails into another folder to move them there
3) They will start moving but it will fail at somepoint and give the message "Cannot execute move operation".
4) After that message appears it is usually several minutes before he can try again or send any emails.
5) Trying to send an email immediately after the error message results in the "Cannot send message using the server" dialog where you are prompted to select a different server to send the message. Choosing an SMTP server results in the message being sent but sometimes (and only sometimes) the message is resent a couple of hours later through the exchange system.
We are getting a million of the following assertion failure messages in the console:
06-06-2012 12:22:05.518 Mail: *** Assertion failure in -[EWSGetFolderResponseOperation handleResponseMessage:withObject:], /SourceCache/Message/Message-1278/MessageStores.subproj/EWSResponseOperation.m: 340

We have tried deleting the account and making a new one. As well as removing the mailbox folder (~/Library/Mail/V2/EWS-*) and the Apple Mail plist file. We have also setup the email on a different Mac (also OSX 10.7) but we still get the same assertion failure message.
This user's email account works fine in Outlook on Windows and Mac (Outlook 2010 and 2011) and it also works fine through the online web portal. Outlook 2011 Mac uses EWS (the same protocol Apple Mail uses) and it's not throwing any errors and everything works properly so that is leading me to believe it's an issue with Apple Mail.
Perhaps related, perhaps not, but the user's iPhone and iPad have also stopped working properly with the account. They will sometimes connect but a lot of the time they give an error message about not being able to connect to the server. This leads us to believe it's an exchange server problem, but then why does it work in Outlook and the online portal without any problems? It's only the Apple products that are falling apart.

I ended up having to reproduce the problem in Outlook 2011 Mac before O365 support would help me. Apparently Apple Mail isn't one of the officially supported clients so they weren't going to figure it out for me. Once they ran out of ideas they just gave me the "Apple Mail is officially supported" excuse and stopped helping me.
Although we weren't initially having the problem in Outlook 2011 Mac it did start giving tons of errors during certain operations (with a -19907 error code) after a while. Not sure why it started doing that ... but it did. This was only happening with one of our user's accounts so it had to be something server-side that was the problem. I eventually got a support ticket in their system (despite being a P1 plan holder) so that they could call me. We did some Wireshark capturing to try to diagnose the problem but by that time the problem had fixed itself.

Apple Mail Search is acting strange

Hello.
I have been having some major issue with Apple Mail (6.5) in its search function.
I have been a heavy user of Apple Mail (over 15,000 emails on the program- and archived every year) for many years, and never had this issue.
When I search for a key word it does not find it! I noticed that this not to work on emails in my In Box or Sent Boxes (Gmail email POP). If I move a specific email to a newly created folder On My Mac and then search, the keyword will be found in the email in that new folder- but never on the orignal Inbox or Sent Box! Also, the search works fine for senders of emails (by name) if I search for them.
The issue is mainly in finding a key word in the content of an email and particurly in the In and Sent boxes!
I tried EVERYTHING I could find online from reindenxing the whole Macintosh HD, deleting Envelope Files... I even deleted Apple Mail and then reinstalled it from Mountain Lion DVD! STILL same issue.
To test things, I exported Mailboxes to another Macbook Air I have (brand new) and then imported these mailboxes into the correct location (Inbox, Sent...etc), and the search there worked fine!
ANY IDEAS, as this is frustrating and I am seriously considering switching to new email client after all these years.
Thanks,

The mail search uses Spotlight to find results, so your problem may be more of a corrupted Spotlight index. To recreate your Spotlight index, go to System Preferences->Spotlight, click the Privacy tab at the top, and add your Boot drive here (usually Macintosh HD). Close and re-open this preference page and then remove the Macintosh HD from the privacy tab.
Within about 30 seconds, you should notice the Spotlight magnifying glass icon in the top menu bar will say it is indexing, and it may take about 15+ minutes to complete. Hopefully that will return your missing search results in the Mail.app.

Cannot get Apple Mail to work on Mavericks - Synching not working intermittently with Gmail account

Like many others, I am having issues with Apple Mail on Mavericks. I have a gmail account and an account that uses IMAP on godaddy domain. When I do things on my Macbook, they are more or less OK although sometimes there is a delay when deleting mail and having it synch up with my other devices. However, if I go to my iphone and go thru my mail and then go to my macbook in the evening, i am finding that all of my mail is showing up like I never looked at it before. All mail is showing up unread, deleted e-mails are in my inbox, etc. I installed the mavericks update for mail last week, and still things are not working. I really need some help in resolving this issue. I expect this kind of stuff from Windows OS upgrades...not Apple
