Bubbles to the Right of inbox, drafts and sent

I am running 10.4.7 and have had problems ever since I installed the 10.4.7 update in June.
Next to the inbox, drafts and sent workding are blue and white overlapping circles that should not appear there.
I have verified and repaired the disk permissions, reinstalled the 10.4.7 update as suggested in earlier postings and this is not going away.
Thoughts?

Ray,
Welcome to the Discussions.
What type of account or accounts are you using -- POP, IMAP or .mac?
While this symbol can indicate trouble completing the access to an IMAP kept on the server, it might also indicate some trouble with the conversion of mailboxes used in Mail 1.3 to the structure used in Mail 2.1. Please read my comments in the topic at the link below, and then post back here, with specifics on your observations of your Mail folder:

  • Read the Inbox,Drafts, And Sent Items SMS in J2ME

    Hello,
    i want to read the SMS from Inbox,Drafts, And Sent Items. Is their any way to read this.

    Yeah ... i'm trying to do the same thing .. well ... this is the only work around that i found ... The platform i'm working on is a nokia 6630 2nd Edition (series 60, midp 2.0) .. since the device has JSR75 ( connection to file and pim ) ... you can open the c:\system\mail\ directory (note, it maybe at another location) and phase the messages stored in there directly ..

  • I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?

    I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?

    Lion is a bit of a memory hog - kernel_task will use quite a bit and Safari is known to use more; you can't do anything about the system, but changing to Firefox may help a little. The best way to deal with it is to increase your RAM; the required minimum is just that: the minimum. My Macbook would keep crashing and beachballing until I upped the RAM to 4 GB. RAM is inexpensive right now - check out OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial.com; both reputable RAM vendors with lifetime warranties. You won't regret it.
    As for iDVD - I purchased the retail iLife 11 disk because of iDVD (because I use that a lot) - it's available at online resellers, the Apple Store, and ebay.

  • Mail disappears and re-appears in inbox, drafts and sent not working

    I'm doing some troubleshooting for my Mum. She's running Mail under Tiger, and she's been reporting that some times she opens up Mail, and all her mail is missing, but if she tries again later, then it might re-appear. It happens to different mailboxes, but mostly the Inbox. It's an IMAP account, but the problem is definately not that (I've actually changed the mail account hosting, and it's made no difference).
    On what I assume is related, and mail she sends, does not appear in the Sent mailbox (it sends fine), and drafts don't save at all.
    The only issue I can think of is the way Mail was put on this iMac. Basically it was my sisters iMac, which she passed on to my Mum when she got a new MacBook. She passed it on, already running Tiger, but for some unknown reason, she had deleted Mail from the Mac. I put it back on, by using a the setup disc for my own iMac (both PowerPC) - and extracting Mail 2.0 using Pacifist, which I then just copied across to the the Applications folder. Could this be the origin of the flakey mailboxes? And if so, what should I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s the cause of the problem. Mail 2.0 is the version that came with Mac OS X 10.4.0. You haven’t said what’s the version of Mac OS X running on your Mum’s computer, but the version of Mail on a PowerPC-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.11, which is what your profile says you have, should be at least 2.1 (2.1.2 if you installed the latest Security Update)...
    You should be able to fix the problem by reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X she’s using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (PowerPC)
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel)
    After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
    Additionally, if she had installed any Security Updates released afterwards that included updates for Mail, you’ll have to reinstall that as well:
    About Security Update 2007-009
    Security Update 2007-009 (10.4.11 PowerPC)
    Security Update 2007-009 (10.4.11 Universal)
    You may also want to read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • The Right click context menu, and menu butons are all yellow?

    The right click context menu, and the Drop down menus for the tool bar, all have Yellow Text.
    Everything else is working normally, and the Yellow text is un related to windows itself, as Windows still has the standard coloring for the menus and Right click context. im stumped.

    Hmmm, that shouldn't happen. It's difficult to change the text colors in the interface without installing a theme or an add-on that lets you tweak the menus.
    Can you try switching between the default theme and your current theme?
    Do any of those extensions let you change display settings?

  • When i type my email, the text would go on and on and overflows. I mean to say it doesn't autmatically hit the right hand side wall and change to next line! I have to manually press enter and then next line starts. Started happening suddenly.pls help.

    Does it happen when you reply to an email? If so, it might be that there's content in the original email (like an image or something similar) that overflows the window content, therefore the Mail app, when you hit the border, follows the content below instead of going on a new line. You might wanna try that.
    Also: Please do not post the whole question in the question title.

  • All emails except those received over last 24 hours, were suddenly deleted. Inbox, trash and sent all affected. Any ideas on why and whether I can expect more of the same? I use outlook express

    I have had my ipad2 for over a year and this is the first time I have suddenly lost emails without warning. My inbox, trash and Sent all emptied leaving only emails I had received in the last 24 hours. Have no idea where they have gone or whether this may happen again. Did not have iCloud.

    Try this:
    Settings > Mail Contact Calendars
    Tap your mailbox
    Tap Mail Days to Sync
    Choose no limit

  • My screen view is not face on i have massive expanse of white on the left and all info now on the right, it looks weird and have lost the moving right side curser button

    my web pages have all skewed to the right, happened after i copied sent emails by pressing alt gr, prt sc, and copy to word

    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
    * Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    *Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

  • Can't get Mail- Gmail- Drafts(And Sent Items) to mirror online or my iphone

    I have read the posts here and elsewhere on how to get this to work, but for some reason my 'Drafts'(and 'Sent' items) folder in Mail.app is still not the same as online or on my iphone. What exactly do i need to do to make Mail.app folders for Drafts/Sent items stay in synch with my iPhone and web based Gmail?
    Here are my settings in Mail.app
    -Gmail is Setup as IMAP
    -in Mail->Prefs->Accounts->Mailbox Behaviours All boxes are checked for Server except 'Junk'
    When looking at a normal 'Inbox' panel, if I mouse over the 'Gmail' account in 'Drafts' it says "Contents Stored on Server. Name on Server: Drafts"
    However when viewing Mail.app->Drafts->Gmail, no draft messages are shown. If I do the same on my iPhone or the web based gmail I do see the up-to-date drafts. Also if i select the 'Drafts->Gmail folder), I do not get any options in (Mail->Mailbox->Use This Mailbox for).
    That said, if I find the IMAP Structure in Mail(scrolling down accounts) I do see a folder structure called 'Gmail->[Google Mail]' that does contain the Drafts and Sent folders that are in synch.

  • Odd graphic appearing in drafts and sent mail opposite sender/date info

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer some advice...
    I've noticed just this past day or so that some of my draft and sent mail messages have inexplicably got a small image of a basketball appearing on the far right of the messages directly opposite where an addressee's name and the date of the message would appear. A friend has confirmed that he actually received a message with this basketball logo on it...!
    The only other time I have seen this logo was last night when I had launched my iChat program for the first time using my aol IM account details, and I'd noticed the basketball graphic had been assigned next to my name when the program was open... But after deciding the iChat program wasn't offering anything I preferred particularly over my existing aol IM account I deleted my account details in iChat and quit the program... Could this be related?
    Would be most grateful for any assistance- obviously with many business/work emails to send a basketball logo in the far right header of outgoing mail is not something I am happy with...!
    Thanks.

    Hello CMK.
    Since you have the option to store sent messages on the server, this must be a .Mac or IMAP type account.
    If so, quit the Mail.app and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes.
    Locate the Sent Messages.mbox for this account - it will be Sent Messages (the IMAP account's name).mbox.
    All locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac or IMAP type account are located in the Mailboxes folder.
    Move the account's Sent Messages.mbox to the Desktop.
    When re-launching Mail, a new Sent Messages.mbox will be created automatically by Mail for the account within the Mailboxes folder when sending the next message with the account.
    This will prevent losing any new sent messages with the account while working on the old Sent Messages.mbox to recover the existing messages.
    Control-click on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
    Post back here listing the package content file names and size of each. This information is required to determine the next step to take.

  • How do I enlarge the font in messages received and sent?  I have it set at "13", but it is very, very small on my screen.  I can't seem to change the appearance of the tool bar even when I try to "customize".

    How do I enlarge the font in messages received and sent?  I have the font set at "13", but the appearance on my screen is very, very small.  When I try to "customize the toolbar" to look like the tool bar above this message, I am unable to do so.  Please advise.  Thank you.

    Thanks MartinR, yes the Toggle bars can be adjusted so that I can see all the tracks - just in the smallest setting - however this also creates a huge area of grey which serves no other purpose than to "use up screen space". If this is deliberate then there is nothing one can do - since presumably the additional profit made on screen sales is more important to Apple, than the combined annoyance to those working on a 13" laptop. Of course a 15" screen or even 17" screen may make this wastage less obvious. Please indicate that this is all incorrect and explain why it is important to have space waiting "for additional tracks", even if I have no intention of making additional tracks. If that is the answer then perhaps additional space to the left and right of the timeline would be useful in case I wish to make a 30 minute film, so that it could be placed there without having to drag anything. It may be that I am expecting software than can be tailor adjusted, each parameter to the desired level as in professional items and since this is a cheap consumer program it is not possible.
    I bought Final Cut Pro for a lot of money (when it first appeared it was thousands and not just hundreds) but never used it since it was too complicated and tedious, but maybe there, this problem of screen wastage does not occurr, perhaps someone can advise! I could go back and reinstall it, but it was made for 10.2.8 and not 10.6.8 so it would not run on this macbook. I recently bought an old 15" TitaniumPowerbook (from 2005) and despite running at 1MHz the response time on it is "instantaneous" - amazing to not have the almost half second delay on many commands - graphics appear nearly immediately (just 5 milliseconds delay) and this makes working so much more enjoyable, not having the (350ms) stutter of 10.6.8 which we all get used to after our initial disappointment.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Draft and Sent Folders

    I just restored my software (to see if it would improve phone reception; it didn't), and my Drafts and Sent folders are now missing. When I go to Settings, Mail and Advanced, I find no capability to add these back.
    Any hints, please?

    They show up once you Send a mail item. And draft will show up once you save a draft (start a message, cancel it, tell it to save).
    May not of noticed before, but that is how they showed up the first time.
