Beware: Mail crashes on emails from PriceGrabber

I got a Price Alert email from PriceGrabber and Mail crashed while loading the email in the preview pane. Then Mail started crashing immediately after it was started because of this problem. I was able to use the down arrow key to quickly change emails before the PriceGrabber email loaded in the preview window.

Mac mail keeps sending emails from different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing.

mac mail keeps sending emails from my different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder and correct email account was highlighted. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing and annoying.

Hi Mike,
I had the same issue and managed to solve it.
Go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Then in the account information tab, at the bottom should be outgoing mail server (SMTP) and click the drop down box
Mine had a few different servers in it so i went into edit SMPT server list. Click advanced and it will tell you which ones are going from which email address.
Delete the ones you dont want, and it should work or instead of deleting click use only this server, i imagine that will work to
Hope This Helps

Mail crashes when retrieving from one particular mailbox/account

I'm able to get email from several other accounts, but the main account/mailbox is causing a crash each and every time it tries to retrieve the mail. I've done some due diligence but don't see any answers that fit, other than a need to remove/replace a plist (http://crispierry.typepad.com/applepie/2006/09/mailappkernpr.html). Before I did this, thought I'd post here. Is there a simple way of deleting the problem email (if in fact it is an individual email that's gumming up the works)?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Create a New User Account, and as that New User try to set up this one account -- if POP set to leave messages on the server after download. If not familiar with setting up a New User Account, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
This will be a useful test, and it not meant to suggest a permanent switch to the New User Account, but rather a test of the Mail application outside of your normal User Account.

APPLE MAIL is sending emails from wrong address

Hello,
This question has probably been asked before, but I haven't been able to find it. Feel free to send me there with a link if it's helpful.
Here's my plight:
I use gmail IMAP and manage 2 email accounts through Apple Mail (5.2). One is the domain catch-all email, [email protected], and the other is my main personal account, [email protected] Usually, whichever mailbox I click on is the address from which my mail is sent. But recently, whenever I've sent mail from [email protected], the recipient has been seeing my personal address ([email protected]), rather than the Info address. But the address line still says "Info" and not my name, if that makes sense. Example:
NORMAL: FirstName LastName "<[email protected]>"; Info "<[email protected]">
NOW (PROBLEM): Info "<[email protected]>"
The replies to the mail I sent from Info are then sent to my personal account. I checked the mail preferences and the Info settings are the same as they've always been. It says the name is Info and the address is [email protected] I'm not sure why Apple Mail is suddenly thinking that the Info emails are coming from my personal account. Is this an Apple Mail issue, or a Gmail issue? Help! I don't want people to be receiving emails from my personal account when it should be from the Info account. Do I need to delete the entire Info mailbox from Apple Mail and start all over?
Thanks for your help!

Agreed. I had three gmail accounts, 2 business, one personal, but lately all my attempts to send mail from my personal account wound up being sent from Business instead, even after selecting which account to send it from.
I went into Preferences, Account info, then found all outgoing smtp servers simply called gmail but there were three in the list. It turned out that all my accounts were being directed to one server address.
If you drop down the Edit SMTP Server list, then select each account under Account Information you can see which server is dedicated to which account. Then you can edit the name of the related gmail server to the related account. So you can have gmail personal, gmail business 1, gmail business 2 etc.
Once you have the servers renamed (all the same actually but tells mail which account credentials to use), you can then select the appropriate server to match the right account under Preferences>Account Info front page.
Worked for me.

Icloud mail still pulling emails from external account

Hello,
I am a former dotMac and MobileMe user. I had set up the mail interface to pull emails from an external account. After migrating to iCloud very early, emails are still being pulled, although this *should not happen*, because iCloud does not offer this service. The problem is: how do I disable this behaviour? There is no preference pane where I can set this. It's quite astounding that my mail is basically being provided by uncontrolled services running on Apple servers, even if they should not be running.
Any suggestions?
Regards

Your complaint is different from the OP's - he wants to stop it and can't: you want it to work. I'm afraid it won't - the facility is not available in iCloud, though as we've seen a few people are finding it hanging over.
You can still do one of two things perfectly easily: set up your other accounts separately in the Mail application; or set the other accounts to forward to your @me.address - most ISPs can provide this facility and it was always preferable anyway to collecting the email. It will arrive immediately, for one thing, rather than up to 15 minutes later.

Mail downoading old emails from the server

I have a SBC/Yahoo/ATT/?? account that has been working fine. It was updated to their new secruity and pop server settings a couple of months ago. Since then, I have been prompted several times to re-enter the password when doing send/receive. That was ok, just annoying at times.
This weekend I opened up mail and it downloaded every email from the server (as if they were new)! I had certain emails set to redirect to my office, and so my office email got filled with redirected messages. It did not delete my messages from the server, but now I have duplicate/triplicate emails on my desktop. What happened and how do I prevent this from occuring again?!
Please help.

This is a POP account, right? What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?

TS3276 Why does my mail send an email from a different account form the one selected?

Hi,
I have several email accounts configured in my mail app.
For no reason it started sending email from one of my accounts with another email address, so when people reply to my email (from a particular account) it goes to another inbox and I sometimes miss it.
Any tips?

In Mail>Preferences>Accounts>you can set Each Mail account to "Use Only This Server" located at the lower right of the window below, which you specify once. Then the Mail app will not have a choice of server available to pull those shenanigans.
Hope this helps

Mail: stopped fetching email from Gmail

(tongue twister subject?) OK, if someone can help me with this I will be very grateful. I've setup mail to use my Gmail account and I just loved how it was grabbing all the messages from years back! That gives me a nice "off the cloud" backup of my stuff. Excellent!
Problem is, it stopped when it reached Mar 5 2008!? Is there a limit to the number of messages Mail can handle? I can still use it to send emails, through my Gmail account, but not to fetch new messages.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Ismenio

Hey Ismenio,
Didn't see any other action on your issue, so I thought I would add a suggestion. Gmail supports IMAP in addition to POP mail. I would suggest trying this:
- enable IMAP in your Gmail account (under settings / POP / imap)
- wait about 5 minutes... (I turned on imap on my gmail account and the control panel said it enabled, BUT didn't work. I waited a few minutes and it worked fine.)
- create new email IMAP account in Apple mail.
- See if you see all of your messages!
IMAP may be the way to go to see all of your messages. I use IMAP because I use an iPhone, a PC, a Macbook Pro and want to see my email from any device almost anywhere.

Mail rules prevent email from appearing online

I have an iMac at home and the Mail App is currently running. With Mail, I have a Rule set up to automatically move emails from a certain domain into a folder. I'm assuming that because of this rule and the fact that my computer is on at home with the Mail App on, I'm unfortunately unable to retrieve those emails either online through iCloud or through my phone(non-iPhone).
Does anyone know WHERE I can access these emails? I am at work and cannot go home to shutdown Mail... I can clearly see in the Sent folder online the reply I made to an email from that particular domain, but the original message is nowhere!
This particular email in question was sent to my @me.com email address, and iCloud's server does not show the message. This issue occurred prior to updating to iCloud, so I doubt that's the issue... and it happens with any of my email addresses (i.e. gmail) that receive email that would be filtered by this rule.
Help please!

The iCloud, and MobileMe before it, are IMAP accounts. If at home you moved the message to an On My Mac mailbox (meaning it is local to that computer), the message will have been removed from the server, and thus not available on another computer or device.
With IMAP, the Inbox resides on the server, but folders must be created on that server to be used across more than one device.

Mail timeout for emails from Gmail accounts

This past week we've been getting complaints from clients that mail sent to us gets returned with a message saying it is unable to be delivered and will be retried. Eventually these emails arrive, sometimes 2, even 24 hours after being sent - not exactly the best advertisement for responsive customer service!
The common factor seems to be that they are all from Gmail-hosted accounts. I see there have been other threads on this subject, such as <a href = "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5029574?start=0&tstart=0">this post </a>, which may provide a clue. I'm running 10.5.8 Server 1.1, on a Quad G5, with spam and virus protection on, and tried turning it off to see if it helped. Inconclusive, but I got a lot of spam!
My hunch is that Gmail is expecting a server response within a certain short timeframe and ours times out. But you can't take on city hall, and it's up to our server to provide a timely response to Google, which should be totally possible on a fairly fast machine on 100Mbps fibre, even from here in NZ.
I'd appreciate any thoughts.

I don't know whether this will help any of you having the problem with Gmail, but we were able to resolve our issue by deleting a bunch of emails in the inbox, around the date that the email stopped coming in. It seems there was a corrupted file in the inbox, throwing things of for Mail (though not the iphone, as mentioned above).
How I got to the bottom of this was I set Entourage to receive emails from the att.net account. As happened in Mail, the emails stopped coming in around Feb 11, but we were able to send with no problem. Unlike Mail, however, Entourage provides an error code when it runs into a problem (in our case -16999, if I remember correctly). I searched on the code and found a discussion somewhere which named a corrupted file as the problem. It turned out to be our problem.
So even if it's not the same problem, perhaps you could try setting up Entourage (if you have it) or another email program that supplies error codes, and hopefully this will give you a clue to investigate further. Good luck!

Apple Mail - sending multiple emails from drafts folder

Hi all,
So If I save few emails in drafts - then later want to send tham at the same time - I can go to drafts and highlight them and choose messages > send
but the problem is each opens up and says:
cannot send message
This message could not be sent because your account does not have a preferred outgoing mail server. Select an outgoing mail server from the list below.
- however - in accounts I do have a smtp chosen and use only this server is checked.... (and single emails work fine)
- Q: so I want to be able to just highlight the several mail and send them all at once - without the extra dialogs......
How do I fix this?

Thanks Old Toad,
i think I had done that....
1 - So I just made 2 test emails from = my main account and saved each in drafts - each says from = [email protected] as they all do and work corretly when sent...
2 - then i go to drafts and highlight the 2 I just made - and choose menu - messages > send
then it says are you sure...
then it has this error for each one
Maybe you can try this also to see if you have the same issue?

Why is icloud mail eliminating received emails from my inbox?

My icloud inbox is receiving emails from certain users and then the email disappears from the inbox, but it doesn't go to the junk or trash box, it just disappears?

Also mail is displaying in reverse order (most recent at the end/bottom and oldest at the top)!! Please can someone explain what is going on, as I appear to have lost control over these 'happenings?
Hi.
I would suggest changing your password as a start, in case someone else has managed to gain access.

Mail bouncing/filtering emails from a known address

Hi, I have a problem with Mail 5.1 filtering emails from a known email address (in my Address Book).
If I get several emails from the same address, one after another, normally the third or fourth one is put in the junk folder, even though Mail is set to leave all mail in my inbox!
If I turn off junk filtering, the mail is bounced back to the sender.
Any ideas? It's annoying as I don't always see the email in the Junk folder.
Thanks

Thanks for your time.
Under SCOT " * " is stated so I think that is not an issue and yes xyz=abc.com is a valid domain address and mails are succesfully sent and received via Microsoft Outlook.
And, RFC Connection is fine as when tested.
SMICM = SMTP Service exist and port number as 0.
But to remind, if I send mail from xyz=abc.com to pqr=abc.com the mail is not received at Outlook but under SOST, the status is fine and indicates it is sent.
Mail is not been sent FROM same domain TO the same domain.
As, if i send mail from xyz=abc.com to samplename=mydomain.com the mail is sent and recieved succesfully
Please help.

How to stop ios mail deleting icloud email from mac mail?

This is driving me insane.
I have an icloud email address set up on my iphone and mac mail.
I want to leave emails on my phone 'on the server'. Read them when i'm out, delete them... come home and have them all come through on mail where i'll deal with them.
Right now if I delete them on my phone, they're deleted on mac mail also.
I have all my regular email addresses set up to do this. Except the one icloud address I want to move everything to!!!
Help!!!

Hello there David DW,
It sounds like your iPhone does whatever your iPad does with regard to joining or forgetting a Wi-Fi network. From what you are describing it seems to me that iCloud Keychain is enabled, as this is a function of that feature. The only way to stop what you are seeing from happening is to disable iCloud keychain on one of the devices:
Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website usernames and passwords, credit card information, and Wi-Fi network information up to date across all of your approved devices that are using iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
You can do this in your iCloud Settings:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn on or off iCloud features.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

My iPhone mail app deletes emails from my hotmail. How can I get my MacBook Air mail app to do the same?

Hi
When using Mail on my MacBook Air (I don't open it often), i receive hundrends of emails through it, even if those messages have been deleted from my iPhone/hotmail.
When i set up Mail on my iPhone there was an option that enabled deleted/read messages to also be deleted/read on hotmail automatically.
I can't work out how to join up my MacBook mail with this too? Anybody know what I mean and can help??
Thanks

Comcast is POP email. I have it as well. POP email does not sync across devices. If I read an email on my iPad it will appear as unread on my Mac in the Mac Mail App when I launch it.That's how POP accounts work. The emails will not sync across devices.
