Block 'a' letters showing up for text in apple mail

I have been opening emails in Mail recently and see block 'A' letters instead of the text that should be there. When I open the mail on the web on its server it shows up the way it should so I know that he has something to do with the application. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's getting rather annoying.

I'm having the same problem now - did you find a solution? It's not showing Arial font in my mail...

Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
Best of luck

What is the easiest method to convert your Outlook Mail from MS Office 2011 for mac, into Apple Mail?

What is the easiest method to convert your Outlook Mail from MS Office 2011 for Mac, into Apple Mail?

As best I can see from googling it, there is NO easy direct way with Apple's builtin tools. If you Google it you will find that many software companies are selling Apps specifically designed for this purpose. Good luck.
Hope this helps

Plugin for emoticons in Apple Mail?

Is there a plugin for emoticons in Apple Mail?
Thanks,
HL

I also had the WOT warn me away from the website you mentioned. This one works well on this forum, in gmail, and even in the Comcast mail program, which didn't take emoticons very well for a while. I find it has a lot of options.

I DON'T want attachments to show in the text of the Mail email

I DON'T want attachments to show in the text of the email.
My company just switched over to Mail today. Every time we send an email with a .pdf attachment, it shows the attachment in the text body of the email. We don't want that to happen. How do I prevent this from happening?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8) Mail 2.1.1

You can't.
The Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default - sending and receiving.
You can control-click on a viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but the icon for the attached file will remain in the body of the message. Regardless, depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place when the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app when receiving such attachments) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
This was a minor adjustment for me at first but I now prefer such attachments being displayed inline since I have confirmation that I selected the correct file or file names as attachments before the message is sent.

Searching for keywords in Apple Mail 5.2 desktop

I can easily use the Search feature in Mail 5.2 and it will show messages with the keyword I am looking for, but I can find no way for it to display the message or to tell me what specific mailbox the message is located. I must be overlooking something very basic, but I cannot find any specific direction either in help or in the forums. The message I am looking for shows up in the Drop Down list under the categories People, Subjects, and Mailboxes--but no matter which area I click on no message is shown, only the criteria specific category now shows in the Search box and clicking on that produces nothing.
Again, I must be overlooking something or else there is some glitch in Mail.
I will greatly appreciate any suggestions or fixes.

Updated Information: I created a rule in my PC Outlook 2010 which makes a copy of all my mail and puts into another folder.   As I stated above, all my sub-folders seem to be getting e-mail just fine. So, in this case I am now getting my inbox mail too, just its in another directory. Of course I am getting double mail, but thats ok for now.
I also had deleted all mail from my inbox from Thunderbird and re-started Apple Mail, which had no clue my mail was deleted.   I used the "Rebuild" option, and then it finally figured out the mail was deleted.   I went into the INBOX folder on the Mac and the individual files were gone now. I now have an empty inbox folder, and no new mail coming in (inside the Apple Mail folder).
After all this, I am still not getting mail in the inbox.   This is very strange.   I thought it might be something clogging up the works, but no such luck.   Still, any help would be appreciated.    Can I truly be the only person having this problem? At this point, it seems like I need to delete the account and re-create and see what happens.   That would make me really disappointed in Apple Mail, something I wouldnt expect.

Solution for color coding Apple Mail mail boxes?

Using OS 10.9.5, I would like to find an Apple or third party solution that would allow me to color-code my mailboxes in Apple Mail version 7.3.

* UPDATE *
If I search for text in an email I am viewing (in the Mail split screen format) the found text still remains grey.
HOWEVER, if I double click the email to open it and then search for text the found text is now in the correct colour.

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."

Exact search for phrase in Apple Mail

I want to search in all my mail in Apple Mail for: Some phrase exactly this way
For example, I ONLY want to see emails which contain: working with Andy
I do NOT want to see any emails which contain less than ALL those words in that EXACT order.
In other words, I want to search for an exact phrase.
How do I do this?

With difficulty I think.
If it's a short phrase you might be able to get close by;
Use Boolean searches:
You can use Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT. For example, to search for messages that contain “yosemite” and “yellowstone” but not “teton,” type “yosemite AND yellowstone NOT teton” or “yosemite AND yellowstone -teton.” You must type Boolean operators in uppercase.

HT1277 how do I show just one account in apple mail?

Hi. I have set up both personal and business (IMAP) accounts in apple mail. How can I select just looking at emails from one account or the other? I'd rather not have them all mashed together. Thanks!

In the left column of mail, click on the disclosure triangle to the left of the "Inbox" label to open the view, then click on the mailbox (server) that you're interested in.
You can also take individual mailboxes (servers) offline to reduce the arriving traffic; I have a mailbox set up for mailing list traffic, for instance.

Trying to get different column headings for folders in Apple Mail - Help!

Hi there
I really hope someone can help here.
I have a few different email accounts coming into my Apple Mail program. For each account I am using a 'Saved' folder (for the incoming email i have read) and a 'Sent' folder (for the emails I have sent).
In my 'Saved' folder, I want my column headings to be:
a. Who the email is from
b. The subject line
c. The date and time received
In my 'Sent' folder, I want my column headings to be:
a. The address I have sent to
b. The subject line
c. The date and time received
The problem is that when I changed the column headings for one folder, it changes them for all of them. So I can display who my incoming emails are from, but in the sent folder, it only tells me who my sent emails are from....me!! This is no use at all. Is there anyway to apply different column headings to different folders? In Entourage this is easy, but Im at a loss of what to do in mail.
Please help if you can
Many thanks
Dan

as i said, Sent mailbox is special and can have custom columns separate from other mailboxes. ALL other mailboxes have the same columns and you can only customize them simultaneously. if you want to change that leave Apple feedback on the issue

Attachments Not Showing up for Sort in Sent Mail

In Lion Mail, the small paper clip icon that indicates an attachment is not showing up in the sent messages list. I'm using classic view and often I need to sort by attachments. I recently upgraded to an iMac with Lion. The attachment icons are appearing for emails that I sent in the past on my old machine and imported into Mail when I set it up, but any emails I've sent in Mail 5.1 are not showing the attachment icon for sorting.
When I mail myself an attachment, the attachment icon IS appearing in my inboxes lists, but not in the sent list.
I've played with attachments settings to see if I can figure out why, but had no luck. Anyone know a solution? Thanks!

Hi Michael - I too have exactly the same problem in Lion. It seems to be a bug.
A minor one, given all the other much larger issues I have with Lion.
I'm living with it in the expectation that someone will fix it. I notified it ages ago - long before the recent Lion update.
I am mainly using Snow Leopard. This problem doesn't happen in Snow.

App store not showing purchases for 3 different Apple IDs

I think there's something going on today (as others have mentioned and been told nothing is wrong surprise surprise)
I have purchases on three different Apple ID's and every time I log in on three separate machines running 10.7 or 10.8 the Purchases page displays "You have not yet purchased any apps" when each account has definitely purchased 10-20 apps.
I'm able to sign in without receiving any security warnings so it seems like more of a backend database issue (still a big concern).
Is anyone else having similar issues? This just started this morning, I purchased an app with no issues last night.

Yeah, I downloaded DayLite 4 about an hour and a half ago, but i cannot see any of my purchases. I am on the phone with Apple support as I write this and I was told I had to pay a one time support fee. Are you joking? This is not a hardware issue. I can't see my purchases from any coputer when I login with the correct credentials.
I miss having my own installer. I was asked how many purchases did I think I had. I don't know exactly. Not something I keep in my head, but now perhaps I should. Now they're trying to talk to a senior supervisor because I complained about having to pay for support for Apple not showing the purchases in my account.
Support guy is saying go to express lane to fix this issue https://expresslane.apple.com

How to setup sent items for IMAP in Apple Mail

I am changing my aple mail email account to an IMAP account from a POP3.
When I do this I lose my sent items. I was able to import my sent items back in, but when I try send a mail it does not register in my sent items. It shows that I did not send anything even though I did. Is there something else I need to change in my IMAP settings to get this to work correctly?
