Contacts in Mail with Lion

Just downloaded Lion and now I can't see my contacts when in Mail. There used to be a link to them on the toolbar ?

There's another thread discussing this.
There were two solutions.
1. In Mail, choose the "Customize Toolbar" and drag the contacts icon to the toolbar.
2. To show contacts while composing an email, do the same thing and choose Customize Toolbar and drag the contacts icon to the compose email toolbar. Contacts should be there from now on.

Mail with Lion

ever since session installs lemon when initiating opens mail, (with leopard not open), and I do not have noticeable the option in dock “to open when initiating session”

I haven't found any solution but yes mac mail is painfully slow sending and receiving mail. Even more so then Snow Leopard. Before it was slow when you were outside of the corporate network ie not at office or on vpn now it does make much of a difference.
We run Exchange 2007 SP2 for what its worth. I am hoping Apple fixes issues soon or Exchange 2010 resolves it when migrate in several months.

Using Hotmail in Mail with Lion?

I have a Hotmail account which I access via Safari/Google Chrome etc and have also set it up successfully via the Mail app on my iPhone and iPad.
However, when i access it via Mail on my MacBook Pro (which uses Lion), the next time i access it via the internet browser it has moved hundreds of old mails to trash - does anybody know why this might be happening?
Also, out of interest, is it possible to set up a new e-mail account with Apple and access it remotely via a browser (in the same way hotmail works)?
Many thanks
(NB: I have also posted this elsewhere as not sure I put it in the right forum, so apologies for the duplication).

that worked but then i got an error "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “[email protected] ” or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “pop3” on port 110 timed out."
also if i delete from mail will it delete on the server?- unlike my itouch-is there a way i can get emails to delete from the server if i delete them from my itouch?

Slow outgoing Pop mail with Lion- is anyone else having this problem? Email without attachments can take 10 minutes or more to go.

Outgoing pop mail is very slow - at times 10 - 20 minutes and more, even on messges with no attachments. This has happened since my upgrade to Lion. My DSL line tests out ok, but Apple says it must be a slow line. Any one else have problems?

POP is only used for incoming mail. Some POP servers are the same as SMTP servers.
Check to make sure your internet service provider can either give you an SMTP server, or that you are using password authentication to get to an outside line with the proper port. Outside SMTP servers are often on one of the ports 587, 2626, 2662, and often use your full e-mail address for username authentication.

Mail with Lion: Pinch to Zoom Not Effective. Works With Safari Though

Tried in full and 'normal' screen modes. Same results.
Any idea if additional setting required and where can be found?
Thank you.

MacBook Pro 17" mid-2009
Processor 3,06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)

Same here.
MBP Late 2007 with Magic Trackpad
OSX 10.6.8
Safari 5.1 (6534.50)
I could zoom in once and then it wouldn't work anymore by using the pinching on the Magic Trackpad.
Pressing Command and +/- still worked.
I deleted Safari 5.1 and reinstalled the Combo Update to get 5.0.5 back and it worked properly again.
Then I installed 5.1 another time and had the same error again.
I guess I got to roll back to 5.0.5

Sync Tiger Server (10.4) mail with Lion (10.7) mail

I made a clone of my Tiger Server drive and managed to upgrade it to Lion Server. While I was upgrading to Lion Server the Tiger server continued to host email. I have everything working on the Lion Server upgrade. Open Directory is functioning and users are able to log into their accounts and access email received up to the date I cloned the drive. However, email is still being hosted on the Tiger Server. Is there a way to sync email from Tiger Server to Lion Server?
Thanks!

Thanks Brian,
It's a 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro.
I do have a spare partition on the drive, would it be possible to install 10.6.8 on that parition, and then upgrade to 10.8 leaving my original Tiger Server intact (temporarily?) I've also heard you can aquire 10.8 on a thumb drive at the Apple Store, if I went went that route could I skip the 10.6.8 install?
I don't mind setting up my services again, no real big need to migrate existing user profiles, there's only 1/2 dozen or so. It would be nice to set it all up and then test it out, and be able to revert back to Tiger if I can't get things configured easily on the new server or encounter surprises.

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

Mountain Lion mails with attachments on exchange get lost

Dear Community,
we encounter a real annoying and weird issue with CS6 on our Macintoshs using Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
It all started, that mails with attachments (e.g. JPGS, PDFS...) just get lost and do not arrive. Not all mails but some, spontaneously. But always the same files were affected. Some work, some not.
Our company is using Exchange, and there is no message back to the sender, that the mail did not arrive. You can even see it on sent items and it occurs in Outlook 2011 as well as Apple Mail. I contacted our IT and they checked the Exchange logs and everything is fine, like the mail would have arrived, bit it does not.
We went crazy and tried almost everything, clean OS installs, new users... the funny thing: when you forward the mail out of "sent items" it arrives...
Today a milestone appeared while troubleshooting this issue: We realized, that only files saved from Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator (basically CS6) are affected. When I save a PSD as a JPEG out of Photoshop and mail it as an attachement it gets lost. Always. Same for PDFs or other file formats out of CS6.. When I open a PSD on embedded Mac Viewer and export as JPEG or PDF it does arrive the sender. So it only happens when saving the files out of CS6.
So now, I have no clue how to proceed. Is anybody else having this issue or can help us? It is a mess, because it turns our daily work to a horror.
Any help is appreciated solving this weird issue. Thank you so much.

Hi ,
You can try setting the below value to false and see the results too since its exceeding the recipient thread limit could be a problem with the throttling as well.
<add key="MailboxDeliveryThrottlingEnabled" value="False" />
Restart the transport services after the change and see the results.
Good Luck :)

Hello, thanks for the try,
tried the change in edgetransport.exe.config. Restartet the 4 transport services (Transportdelivery,transportsubmission, transport and transport logsearch) No change though. Problem still exists. May this go into msexchangethrotteling.exe.config?

How could you create 'Last Time Contacted' Smart Mailbox in Mail app Lion?

Hello!
For the purposes of maintaining regular contact with a large group of contacts in your address book:
How could you create a smart mailbox in the Mail App (Lion) which contained that last unique sent/received email from each individual contact?
So ideally just the last email per contact. For my purposes I would then sort by date and find the contacts I havent emailed in a while and re-initiate conversation.
I also thought that perhaps it would be possible through Automator? (I am not very familiar with how to use this app)
Any ideas/solutions would be very appreciated!

Okay, I think I just discoverd a workaround. This will work if you're lucky enough to already have a smart-mailbox folder that persists after close. (Somehow I had two such folders that already existed and weren't subject to the mysterious disappearances on closing the app; perhaps I created them in a previous OS X release?) Anyway, here goes:
Locate an already existing smart mailbox folder that's working properly. Select the folder (in the sidebar).
Duplicate that folder using the "Duplicate Smart Mailbox" Command. (It's on the contextual pop-up menu or available via the gear icon in the lower left of the window). This should produce and exact copy of the folder and the boxes inside, appearing at the bottom of the smart mailbox list.
Edit the duplicate folder to put the smart mailboxes you want in it, and delete the previous mailboxes (duplicates) that you don't want.
The new folder structure should now persist between launches of the app.
There you go. Not the most elegant process, but workable. Don't know if there's a method if you don't have at least one smart mailbox folder already though.

In Mail with Snow Leopard you could number your e-mails. Can this be done with Lion?

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1...I used to be able to drag and drop contact addresses from my address book to an e-mail header. Now I have to type all the names and can't drag and drop. Is there a setting for this? Thanks!

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1. I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that. I now have to type each name in. Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software? Thanks for any info!

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

I had duplicated contacts on my old iPhone. Went with Lion and iCloud, and the duplicates were gone. New iPhone yesterday and now all my contacts are duplicated again. How do I resolve?

When I first signed up with iCloud (and still had Mobile Me), my contacts all double or tripled, or more in my contact list. When I went with Lion and fully integrated iCloud, that issue resolved itself. I got a new iPhone yesterday, and when it was up and running, everything was fine. This morning, I notice that my contacts are all duplicated again. My personal contact is in my phone 10 times. How do I resolve this? My iTunes sync setting does not have me syning my contacts, it should just be in iCloud. Thanks for any help.

When i send an e-mail with attachments to one of my contacts, they says they did not receive.

When I send an e-mail with a pdf attachment, my boss says she did not receive it. My SENT folder indicates that the e-mail and attachments were sent. I have not received an error message and I have checked the e-mail address 6 times. My bosses' e-mail address is in my contacts.
No one else is complaining about this.

I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

I have an AT&T Email Account that doesn't work with Mail for Lion

I've had this email account with AT&T for a few years and it has worked with Mac Mail with no difficulty for a few years. Recently the account has been able to receive messages. Every time I hit Get Mail it asks for a password. I have installed all the latest updates through Software Update. I have a Mac Mini with OS Lion. After struggling for awhile, my inbox eventually comes in. I have reset all the incoming and outgoing POP Server accounts, as well as used the Webmail version through Yahoo.com and it all works fine. What is going on and how can I continue to use this program.

Go to the AT&T support site and verify that you have setup Mail with the correct confuguration, i.e., ports, server names, etc. Otherwise, you haven't provided enough details to be of much assistance.
Rcommend that you get a .me account and start using IMAP email in lieu of POP3. You can then configure your existing AT&T account to forward all email to your .me account.
