Bcc non-operating in MAIL 1.3.11 (v622/623)

Why is Bcc shaded and unavailable for use in my MAIL program? I really prefer to do Bcc instead of Cc to reduce the probability of recipients being picked up by spammers. Has anyone found the solution to this? I don't want to have to spend the money for Tiger just go get this feature.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Where is Bcc shaded -- in the Compose window? The
Header box is there, but shaded?
Your profile info shows MAIL 1.3.11 (v622/623), but
on my QS G4, still running Panther, about Mail
displays MAIL 1.3.11 (v622/624)? The 624 may have
come with a Security Update, that impacted Mail, I
but I have not researched -- have you purposely left
off any updates, or could there have been a flawed
update?
It might help to download the most recent Combo
Update for 10.3.9, and install it over the
current system. This would "conform" everything,
without doing a reinstall. As you may know, this can
often correct elements of the OS that have become
flawed.

Btw, there is a separate forum for earlier versions
of Mail, but stay here for now:

Bcc does not open when I open a "New" mail. When I go to View in the main MAIL taskbar, that is where I get the gray shaded area for BCC. I tried to find the latest update for MAIL and can't find one.

  • Can't receive email using 10.3.9 and mail 1.3.11 (v622/623)

    I can send but not receive email from my POP account using cable modem.
    All settings appear correct. When I select "get mail," there are no warnings or dialog boxes and "fetching mail" and "traversing mail heirarchy" messages all seem to happen as before but then no mail appears. My wife can receive and send with her account on "her computer" setup (seperate user on this computer). I have checked all the mail help tips, compared settings with my wife's setup, deleted the suggested (on this discussion board) file that holds the downloaded mail data and emptied the trash, pinged (all ok), and checked the keychain (verified correct).
    If I change to my .mac mail account, "get mail" works fine.
    No problem accessing the faulty account via web mail.
    Any other tips??

    Your answer looks like it would work for me, but I wanted to know where you got the info. I want to be sure I do the right thing. Can you tell me where you found that out? Or is what you said in this post everything I need to know?
    I'm periodically having the same problem downloading mail. I used to think it was MSN not working, but now I've noticed that when it happens MSN Messenger is operating and saying I have mail, (and I can access it via Safari on the hotmail site) but Mail 1.3.11 won't stay online, saying a read error of some sort when I try to get my mail. This used to happen only occasionally but is increasing to many times every day.

  • Mail 1.3.11 (v622/623) hang if message contains images - safari too

    Hi, i recently got the 10.3.9 update and addtional updates for Mail and Safari. Every time i mark a message or tries to open a HTML message with graphics, Mail will hang. Same symptoms with Safari ??? CPU-fan keeps running up at medium speed.
    Any ideas ?

    Hello John.
    i did not close all applications unless
    OS X Installer told me to.
    Regardless and for future reference - ALWAYS quit all running applications before installing a major OS Update. A major OS Update involves updating thousands of files and components. It is also a good idea to check the hard drive for any directory problems with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Panther install disc before proceeding with the installation.
    I can see that there are a lot of issues with
    Safari and Mail on the discussion forum, but i
    cannot see that Apple is really participating ?
    This is a user to user help forum that is provided and moderated by Apple only. Apple employees do not directly partipate in these user to user discussions.
    And regarding seeing a lot of issues here, this is normal since these discussions are provided by Apple for people with a problem who are seeking help.
    This is like a hospital ward for Macs so it is full of nothing but problems. This is not an indication every Mac user around the world is experiencing the same problem. Arriving at that conclusion based on visiting here is like visiting a hospital in your area and arriving at the conclusion that everyone in your area must be sick.
    Strongly considering to move to Thunderbird and
    then start using the Calendar project deliveries
    and then get rid of the std. Apple apps.
    Certainly your choice but I never experienced the same with Jaguar, Panther or now with Tiger so something else is wrong with your system or the OS Update installation.
    And if you believe Thunderbird never has any problems, you are mistaken.

  • BCC myself but sent mail not showing up in Mail

    I have a BlackBerry. There is a setting where you can BCC an address for mail sent from the BlackBerry so you can have a copy of what you sent on your regular mail client. I've had this configured and it worked flawlessly with other POP3 mail clients I've used. Basically, the sent mail would be retrieved via POP3 as a regular message with the "from" and "to" fields intact. This is fine, and I don't care about being able to see "BCC" recipients. My problem is that Mail seems to be recognizing that the "from" address is the same as the "BCC" address and is getting rid of those messages for me, or ignoring them on the POP server. I thought of a few things, but none seem to be true -- My spam filter (SpamSieve) is not detecting the messages as spam. I also thought that perhaps Mail is doing something nifty like automatically moving the mail into sent folders. However, that's not true either. I also did a few different searches to see if my sent messages had come down somewhere and I was just missing them.
    So now I'm stumped. Is Mail making decisions for me behind the scenes? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Bmoua,
    What client did she use on the temporary computer? Outlook or outlook app or OWA?
    If she used outlook, it may download the sent messages to the local pst.
    In addition, I also recommend you use message tracking log to check if there are any messages had been sent out when she used temporary computer.

  • Non operational USB ports and stuck on grey apple start up screen

    Two problems
    1. USB ports are non operational. I believe I fried them by accident. When hooking up an external USB hub, I may have connected an incorrect power supply. Now the USB ports on the front and back of my tower are non operational/do not work. As a work around, I bought a USB pci card and installed it. This has been working for my keyboard, mouse and external hard drives but my iPhone will not sync. My ilok is recognized in system profiler but I cannot download anything to it.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Is it possible I fried my main USB port?
    2. I was reading different threads and a possible solution to the USB port problem was to reset my PMU. I have no clue why or if this would fix it but I gave it a try. Disconnected power supply and everything else after shutting down the computer. Found the pmu button on logic (or is it the motherboard or is it the same thing?). Pressed it, waited 20 seconds, put computer back together, connected power supply mouse and keyboard and tried to power up. The computer would not power up and the front power light was on but would not power up/boot. In a dumb panic, I opened up the tower and pressed the pmu button again without disconnecting the power. This seemed to work bcause my computer powered up! A red light on the logic board turned on and I got to the grey apple screen. This is where it froze. Hard reset, powered up, same problem. Unplugged power supply and tried again. Same problem. Tried pmu reset (unpluged power this time) and a repeat of the first pmu attempt. I tried starting up with cmd opt o p (I forget the exact letters but it was a reset with starting chimes), then I tried reinstalling with boot DVDs. It would get through the first DVD then restart and get stuck. Finally, I got it to accept second Boot DVD and finish installing and tried starting in safe mode. Got to safe mode and went to disk utility and checked first aid. No reported repairs necessary. Copied all files needed from HD and shut down. The computer did not shut down properly (this has been an ongoing problem before all these current problems and it has had problems booting fulling with hard resets needed once and a while). From here I tried restarting, pulling power supply, staring again and it keeps gettin stuck on grey apple loafing screen. The spinning wheel spins and then gets stuck, fans increase in speed and nothing. I can get back to safe mode either.
    I'm very wordy I guess but more info the better, right?
    The tower is very very very dusty. I will compress air it to clean it and attempt to clean connectors with alcohol. I will let it sit over night disconnected an then try powering it up.
    What could the possible problems be? What can i do? Any suggestions on proper cleaning. I know how to ground properly and not to use a vacuum. I might have pressed the pmu button more than once. I'd the battery dead? Could it be a power supply problem. ****, I'm out of ideas and I really tried solving without posting but I'm poor and need my computer! Help!

    Welcome to the forums. Lots of good information and help to be had here.
    OK, first, let us know more specifically which of five flavors of Power Mac G5 you have. Find the serial number on the build plate on the inner bottom panel just below the CPUs and use this site to get the exact configuration:
    http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
    In the meantime, assuming that you haven't replaced the PRAM battery in quite a while or ever, that would be a good thing to do.
    Getting dust out of the system is a must. The power supply is especially prone to dust buildup. You might want to deal with that by taking the machine outside, as it can get pretty thick coming out.

  • The "My Ebay" page and the AT&T yahoo changed suddenly and some features are non operative. Also the Google instant search stopped working. All this is happening on Firefox. Everything displays and works correctly on IE. What could be wrong?

    Hi, On thursday evening I closed all open windows to do some virus scanning and window washer maintenance. After I was finished I opened up firefox and went back on Ebay and the "My Ebay" window has changed to a totally different appearance and I can't access messages, etc. My AT&T Yahoo email window has also changed its appearance and has selections on it which are new and non operative. They both are now presented as a vertical format and the "My Ebay" window is expanded off the monitor with a blue sliding bar on the bottom and large white areas in the viewing area. I can shrink it down, but I then need a magnifying glass to read it. The opening Ebay sign in window is normal. The opening AT&T sign in window is normal. Also the Google instant search results, which used to appear when I was typing in my search words, has also stopped working. Everything seems to work properly on Internet Explorer. When I double click on the Mozilla icon it takes me to the Mozilla start page and shows me the Google search bar. That is what I normally see. I'm baffled.

    (1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
    You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
    If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
    (2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
    * The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
    * The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
    Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

  • I want to bcc myself when sending mail from one account but not another. When I check "automatically bcc myself", it bcc's me from both accounts.  Can I set this to work with only one account?

    I have two mail accounts on my Mac.  I want one account to bcc me when I send emails from that account.  I checked "automatically bcc myself" under mail>preferences>composing, but both accounts bcc me when sending mail.  Can I set this to only bcc myself from one specific email account? Thanks.

    It does not make sense that your ssh does not have a dash capital Y (-Y) option. It is in "man ssh", and my 10.6.6 has the -Y option, and I've had a -Y option since at least Tiger (10.4) days.
    My ssh is in /usr/bin/ssh
    I'm not very good at X11 issues, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.
    Does your broken account have a $HOME/.ssh/config file, and if so, what is in it?
    Does the broken account have any $HOME/.x* or $HOME/.X* files that X11 might be reading to configure your X11 behavior differently from the new test account?
    $HOME/.Xauthority
    $HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>
    $HOME/.Xresources
    $HOME/.ICEauthority
    $HOME/.keymap.km
    The above are a few names I found looking through "man X"
    While I'm thinking about it, I assume that when going to the server, you are using the exact same user account on the server, so that you have a constant at least at that end.
    Have you tried trashing your
    $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist
    file, to see if that is affecting the broken account?
    Again, I am just throwing out ideas to see if anything sticks.

  • How to always show the BCC field in Apple Mail in Yosemite

    I've been searching for this through various websites, but the instructions I've found correspond to older OS versions and I cannot find how to do this for Mail in Yosemite.
    I would like to be able to see the BCC field in all Mail message windows. I've figured out how to bring up the BCC field while composing an email, but I can not see the field when I review my sent mail.

    I can only speak to Yosemite 10.10.1  and Apple Mail 8.1 at the moment. You can simply press Command-Option-B while in Mail and it should toggle the setting. You can see the option in Mail by pulling down the "View" menu in the Menu Bar where you can simply tick beside "BCC Address Field."

  • How do i turn off the auto bcc function on ipad mail? i have turned it off in settings but it keeps happening.

    I want to turn off the auto bcc function in ipad mail.  I have done it in settings but it keeps happening.  surely this is a fault or there is an easy way to fix the problem.

    I've got options for 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and Never. Have you got an Exchange email account on your iPad ? 'Never' can be removed so as to protect a company's potentially sensitive email - they may not want the iPad being left/stolen with the emails on it accessible. If you remove the account the Never option will probably reappear

  • Operating and Non-operating temperatures for iPhone 5s

    For all iPhones it is mentioned as below -
    Nonoperating temperature: −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C)
    Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Above info is mis-leading.
    So which is  the temperature for optimal usage if all temperatures between −4° to 113° F are non-operating?

    No, it's not mis-leading. It is a standard way of marking product temp ranges.
    It can safely be stored (non-operating) in temps of −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C)
    If it is hotter or colder than this, it may get damaged.
    It will operate correctly in temps of 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C).
    Hotter or colder than this and it may not operate.

  • Non operating expenses can only be posted to non operating cost centers

    Hi ,
    Where do we defien the relation/validation " Non operating expenses can only be posted to non operating cost centers" in SPRO ? Is it a part of configuration or validation ?
    Regards,
    Pradeepa

    Hi,
    In my knowledge, it is not configuration issue. Write validation for this. At the time of posting of Non operating expenses, you have to select non operating cost centers. If  you select other cost center system will prompt error message according to your validation.
    Thanks

  • I have two personal e-mail accounts and a general account that I have synced to my Mail app, but I keep getting emails sent to the non-personal e-mail because they're on the same server. How can I change that?

    I have two personal e-mail accounts and a general account that I have synced to my Mail app, but I keep getting emails sent to the non-personal e-mail because they're on the same server. How can I change that?

    The only ways I know of for email to get sent to an account are:
    1. It was addressed to that account. Someone used that email address to send you the email.
    2. It was forwarded to that account by the account to which it had been addressed. I am not aware of Mail having this feature but it is often a feature provided by your ISP that you can turn on by logging into your account via the Internet and setting it up.  I assume you have not done this, though.
    With several email addresses in the same Mail client, you have to be careful which one you are sending from. If you send from the wrong address, any replies will come back to that same address. I make this mistake all too often.

    From RFC2822.
    The "Bcc:" field (where the "Bcc" means "Blind Carbon Copy") contains addresses of recipients of the message whose addresses are not to be revealed to other recipients of the message. There are three ways in which the "Bcc:" field is used. In the first case, when a message containing a "Bcc:" field is prepared to be sent, the "Bcc:" line is removed even though all of the recipients (including those specified in the "Bcc:" field) are sent a copy of the message. In the second case, recipients specified in the "To:" and "Cc:" lines each are sent a copy of the message with the "Bcc:" line removed as above, but the recipients on the "Bcc:" line get a separate copy of the message containing a "Bcc:" line. (When there are multiple recipient addresses in the "Bcc:" field, some implementations actually send a separate copy of the message to each recipient with a "Bcc:" containing only the address of that particular recipient.) Finally, since a "Bcc:" field may contain no addresses, a "Bcc:" field can be sent without any addresses indicating to the recipients that blind copies were sent to someone. Which method to use with "Bcc:" fields is implementation dependent, but refer to the "Security Considerations" section of this document for a discussion of each. When a message is a reply to another message, the mailboxes of the authors of the original message (the mailboxes in the "From:" field) or mailboxes specified in the "Reply-
    To:" field (if it exists) MAY appear in the "To:" field of the reply since these would normally be the primary recipients of the reply. If a reply is sent to a message that has destination fields, it is often desirable to send a copy of the reply to all of the recipients of the message, in addition to the author. When such a reply is formed, addresses in the "To:" and "Cc:" fields of the original message MAY appear in the "Cc:" field of the reply, since these are normally secondary recipients of the reply. If a "Bcc:" field is present in the original message, addresses in that field MAY appear in the "Bcc:" field of the reply, but SHOULD NOT appear in the "To:" or "Cc:" fields.
    Bottom line is that bcc fields "should" only contain one address (if any) by the time it is delivered to the recipient. You cannot, with any degree of certainty expect to be able to get a list of e-mail addresses from a bcc field that a bad SMTP implementation may leave lying about.
