Can't edit rules in Apple Mail.

Hello there:
For some strange reason if I try to add a new e-mail address editing a rule, well, everything seems to be ok, until I click "Apply" and nothing happens.
Any help will be welcome.
Best wishes, as always,
Federico (aka euskir)

Hello terriergal:
So far, in my case, no need to delete old rules, just to wait the new ones to be effective, and the two added were working ok.
Sometimes an interesting action before delete rules is to check if something change deleting Apple Mail preferences, or if you prefer just putting the preferences aside for a while.
Best wishes, as always,

    Can anybody tell me what happended and how to fix it?
    Thx

    Make sure your settings match up with this:

    if wouldn't hurt to delete the account entirely and just re-set it up in preferences.

  • Is there a way to create a rule for Apple Mail that when a certain person is a recipient, make the email plain text?

    My boss has a blackberry and when I send pdf attachments and copy him, he cannot see the attachments.  I forget to make the email plain text before sending it to him.  I can use Thunderbird as my client and it works fine but it is not linked to the other apps on my mac like Apple Mail.  Can I make a rule or something for Mail so that when his email address is a recipient of the email, it will send as plain text to him?

    I don't think so. Not without setting up an AppleScript and I am not proficient with those.
    You can, however, set the follolwing in Mail > Preferences > Composing
    Responding: Use the same message format as the original message.
    But that would only be for responding to messages sent from his Blackberry.

  • A specific bug in Smart Mailbox Rules in Apple Mail on OS X Yosemite

    - Change the value 7 to 2. So it will be 2 months.
    - Close the dialog box.
    - Right click on Smart Mailbox and select Edit Smart Mailbox. The dialog still says 7. The 2 never Saves.
    Looks like a bug in Apple Mail.

    It's already a known bug.

  • Why do my rules in Apple mail keep disappearing?

    Hello,
    I am using 10.6.8 OS and using Apple Mail.
    I am using the rules function to allow emails from certain addresses to be automatically put into folders.
    Recently, the rules have started to disappear when I start up mail and I have to set up the rules once again.
    Here is a screenshot.
    Does anyone know why this keeps happening and what I can do to stop it?
    Thanks in advance!

    First of all, you cannot control how the recipient may see the attached images that in Mail are Viewed in Place -- this is a function of the recipient's email client, and not anything you do. Some email clients refer to this as Inline View.
    Embedding images is a term that really only applies to HTML documents. Mail does not support composing in HTML, but will accept to paste one in if composed in an Editor for HTML.
    As to what you may be seeing as you compose, what is the setting on the Image Size button at the bottom right?

  • Need to back up email in Tiger so I can access it in Leopard (Apple Mail)

    Hello,
    I'm currently using Tiger, and I'm in the process of backing up emails, to upgrade to Leopard, and I'm wondering, what's the best way to do this? I am planning to burn all of my backed-up stuff to a DVD. I'm currently using Tiger (10.4.11) which has Apple Mail 2.1.3 installed. The account is a POP (not POP3) account.
    My biggest concern here is keeping the emails, but it would be nice to keep my contacts and settings as well.
    One option that came to mind was signing up for a Gmail account, forwarding all my emails to it, and then downloading them into Apple mail after Leopard is installed I'm thinking that might be the easiest way, since I doubt that I can back up emails from Tiger and open them again in Leopard.
    In summary: Need to back up a POP account's emails from Apple mail in Tiger _*so that I can access them in Leopard*_. I'd also like to know how to back up my address book so that it is Leopard compatible, if possible.
    Thanks!

    You will find everything that did not get carried over in the Archive and Install in your hard drive under +Previous System Folder+. Creating a backup DVD is a good idea in any case, although if you have an external firewire drive, cloning/backing it up using SuperDuper! would be even better.
    Good luck, and let us know how you like Leopard

  • Help--can I I import to Apple Mail from another e-mail program?

    I have Entourage (Microsoft Office 2004, patched to 2007) and haven't been able to complete a backup since September because the database is apparently corrupted and can't be repaired.  It's very full and I'm sure it's going to crash soon and be irrecoverable, but I don't know what to do to save my emails and the numerous folders I use to organize my life.
    Since the database for that account doesn't seem to be long for this world, does anyone know if it's possible to back up my Entourage accounts by importing them to Apple Mail, so in an emergency I'll still have the data?  Thanks so much for any good advice out that's there!

    You can't import inbox rules to Mail the app on iOS. This is usually done server-side as you see with Gmail. So you're not using exchange where you could create these rules there before they reach your inbox? Does your email provider support creating server-side inbox rules? This way they are universal rather than needing to be set up in every email client you use.

  • How can I set up my apple mail to get mail from my exchange account?

    My work recently changed the security on the Outlook Exchange server. I used to be able to get my Exchange email on my iPhone and in Apple Mail, but now it only works on my iPhone. I don't understand how to get my Apple Mail to receive the emails? I contacted tech support at work and they said that they don't support Apple Mail they only support iPhone. I have the settings for my iPhone that work but I don't understand why they don't work in Apple Mail. Any ideas?

    Thanks - I did not realize that Homesharing can be specifically set to a photo destination like that!
    So, it would appear that I can either point it to iPhoto (and folders/ events within that) OR the default Pictures folder and subfolders of that OR any other specific folder (and subfolders of that) of my choice.  However, I cannot select BOTH the default Pictures folder (and some subfolder of that) AND a folder in iPhoto AND/ OR an event/ folder in iPhoto.  Is that a correct assumption?
    If so, the only way I see getting homesharing to get both set of pictures is to get all my picture folders (internal and external drive based) into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them) - and then pointing Homesharing to iPhoto, right?
    I think you have solved my issue - but I just want to be sure of that.
    Thanks a ton!

  • GMAIL IMAP PROBLEM (can't duplicate mailbox in apple mail)

    I am seriously at my wits end! It has been about a week and I am still having huge problems with my gmail imap account in apple mail. At first, my sent messages were not being imported into apple mail (only about 30 days work). After a bunch of fiddling and trying to fix the problem (deleting the account in apple mail, rehooking up the account, rebuilding the mailbox, switching off IMAP enabling in gmail) the problem has only gotten worse.
    Now, only 1000 emails from gmail are sent into apple mail. I know there is a setting within the gmail prefs to limit the amount of messages in an imap folder 1000 but, I have that turned OFF.
    As of right now my apple mail shows about 1000 messages in my inbox and 250 or so in my sent mail. None of the mail is from before 12/7/10.
    The only thing that seems significant about that date is that I set up another IMAP account on a temporary macbook laptop at a temp job on that day in apple mail (the account has since been deleted when I stopped using the laptop).
    Ugh, this is so annoying and frustrating. I often need to look in my mail archive for old messages/attachments.
    I can't seem to find any help anywhere, but if you can offer me any advice I would really appreciate it!

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is relevant... but…
    Last year, when I set up a second, temporary Gmail IMAP account, I found that all did not jell well together…
    I encountered quite a few problems… sending and receiving… transferring to and from the accounts… and lots of Hangs and Time Outs…
    When I had eventually finished with the second account, I not only deleted it from Mac Mail, but Completely Closed and Deleted it with Gmail.
    Since then I have had no such problems with my single Gmail IMAP account…
    As I said, not sure if this is relevant to your Problem, but thought it might be of interest to you.
    Cheers

  • How can you dictate messages in Apple Mail

    Is it possible to dictate messages in Apple Mail (MacAir)? Is there an app that can enable this if not available by default?

    Mountain Lion includes Dictation, so you can use it pressing Fn key twice. If you have Lion, you can install Dragon > http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/dragon-for-mac/index.htm

  • AOL Mail Client can't download pictures from Apple Mail?

    Hey gang-
    My sister and her family use the current Windows AOL email client to send and receive email. I sent them some JPEGs using Apple Mail, and I selected "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" before composing the message. Anyhow, they can see the pictures in the AOL mail client, but they don't seem to be able to download the JPEGs to disk. They say they've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's an issue with how Apple Mail sends the JPEGs?
    I have no idea how the Windows AOL mail client works, but does anyone know of any general guidance I can give them?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Dave,
    Travis has captured all the facets of the problem. I will only add that the surest way to send to AOL is to use Plain Text. This has always been the advice with Mail (i.e., not use RTF to AOL recipients) but additional factors have been added by Mail 2.0. Whenever RTF is used, along with attachments, and there is furthermore a mixture of fonts utilized, Mail converts to use HTML, and changes the status of files attached, even for users other than AOL. The most common sources of mixed font usage are from a Signature, or from text included in replying, or forwarding.
    When sending to AOL users, continue to use Windows Friendly, but also use Plain Text. If you do not wish to set Plain Text as the default in Compose, then on these messages, click on Format in the Menu Bar, and choose Make Plain Text on an individual message.
    Let us know if problems persist, despite this method.

  • Can I moving mailboxes from Apple Mail 4.6 (OS X Lion) to Apple Mail 7.1 (OS X Mavericks)?

    Hi all,
    I've tried to copy my /User/Library/Mail, /User/Library/Mail Downloads and /User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist on OS X Lion 10.6.8 to the same dirs in OS X Mavericks. But I still can't see my old mailboxes and messages.
    It's possible to migrate from Mail 4.6 to Mail 7.1?
    tks

    Apple doesn't have an email system for support. AppleCare is the only method.
    You might try the Support link on the Mac App Store, but they're not necessarily the people in charge of the up-to-date program, but they may be able to help you. Don't get your hopes up on that, though. When you contact the App Store support, make sure you note all of the things you stated above along with your Claim Reference number.

  • Can't receive email in Apple Mail & Entourage but can send email

    Have MacBook Pro and been using Leopard for several months - within the past 24- 48 hours Apple Mail and Entourage Mail will not receive or retrieve mail. I can send mail but not retrieve. No changes in e-mail accounts. I can retrieve mail using Window XP on same machine.
    Any suggestions?

    If an option exists on networksolutions to allow you to log in to your email via your web browser then access your mail via webmail then try deleting the offending message that way.

  • Can't send email through Apple mail

    I suddenly am not able to send email through Apple mail on my MacBookPro.  ipad and iphone still working.  I can also send email through att online.  My email is @att.net, and the message says "The server cannot be contacted on port 465".  (That is the proper port)

    Hi,
    Here are some suggestions,
    1. Try downloading another free email client to see if it works from there, just to eliminate other possibilities.
    2. Try removing the account in mail settings, and adding it again with the correct settings.
    Let me know what you find!
