Create/View New Message

Forgive the newby question...
In the process of writing a message (Mavericks e-mail) is there a way to keep the pending message on top?
If before sending the message I go to another app, then return to email, only "show all open windows" key will bring the pending message back into view.

Interesting. I tried: In Apple Mail (Mavericks, 10.9.1) create a new message. Go and play with some other apps, e.g., Safari, Firefox, TextEdit, Pages. Click on the Mail icon in the Dock to bring Mail back to the front. The message I was composing is on top. What are you doing differently?
ETA: I also tested this with command-tab, same as above. Note: You can use Mission Control to get back to any desired window in Mail.

After installing Mavericks my email isn't allowing me to draft a new message. I can see my messages, but cannot create a new message or reply to any messages. When I try nothing happens, then Mail freezes all together.

I can see my messages, but cannot create a new message or reply to any messages.
When I try nothing happens, then Mail freezes all together and usually crashes.
I was able to get into my Mail settings and everything looks ok as far as I can tell.
Has anyone else seen this? My software is completely up to date now (unfortunately).
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

How do I get rid of the auto signature "sent from my iPhone" when I create a new message?

Settings -> Mail -> Signature and edit it to whatever you'd like.

Why if I have created a seperate icloud account for my daughter and I, do I still end up with all her contacts? Also, numbers i have edited or changed?deleted pop up when searching by name to create a new message, WHY?

Help! I have created seperate icloud accounts for my kids devices and mine. My daughters contacts and mine keep merging anyways. If I turn contacts off and then back on on my phone in icloud, I get duplicates. Now I have triplicates!! I've double chcked that we are both logged in to our own accounts. How do I stop this, its gonna be a lot of editing out duplicate/triplicate contacts in my list. NOT HAPPY!! Another problem....When I go to create a new message and search by name, all numbers, including those I have changed because the person got a new number, will show up. Why is that happenning if I have deleted or changed them? I end up not knowing what number to use. It's extremely frustrating!!

When you turn contacts to off in Settings>iCloud, you should be choosing Delete from My iPhone when prompted, as they will be synced back to your phone when your turn contacts back to on. If you are choosing Keep on My iPhone, turning contacts back to on in Settings>iCloud, then choosing Merge when prompted, you are merging a second (or third) copy of your contacts with your account each time you do.
The autocomplete suggestions you get when you create a new message, compose a text message, or perform a spotlight search, are stored in cache memory. Once in cache memory, it remains on the device even if the corresponding contact is later deleted. Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to flush this cashe is to restore your device as a new iPhone without using your backup. Perhaps this will change in a future iOS release.

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
Thank you!

Hi,
I would point out that I did say...
Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
Anyhow
To Check the Contacts List open the app.
Go to the Preferences.
Go to the Accounts section.
This should list at least two "accounts
One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

No longer able to create a new message window in Apple Mail

Please help! When I am in Apple Mail, I am no longer able to create a new message window (Command-N), and so cannot send any mail. This just started after the most recent OS update yesterday.

Have you tried
1. clicking on the New Message icon?
2. File menu / New Message?
I am trying to figure out if your problem is because Mail is not working, or whether it is a problem elsewhere, e.g. the keyboard.

My iMessage does not appear to be working. Every time I go to reply to an existing message it just appears as normal text. I have tried to create a new message but it still just defaults to normal messages. I have checked my settings but looks ok. Help?

Thanks

Try the following:
In Finder, select the problematic volume and then press command-I.
Expand the Sharing & permissions section if it's collapsed.
If the section is locked, then unlock it by pressing the padlock button and then authenticating as directed.
Tick/check Ignore ownership on this volume.

Why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message

why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message?

Hey Rkbethel
There are two ways to resolve this for you. For the first is go and do a Reset All Settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. It will not delete anything on your iPhone, but it will put all settings back to default. If it does not work, the next step would be to restore the iPhone back to factory settings.

Unable to create a new Message Layout : 500 attempts failed.

I am getting this error " Unable to create a new Message Layout : 500 attempts failed." when I am trying to add my custom region to seeded Message Layout.

Is that all the error message you are getting or java error stack is also there? It looks like a custom message as I couldn't find it in fnd messages. DO you have any other custom code on this page or is this a custom page?

Creating a new message in adapter module

Hello,
I already posted the question in this [Thread|Sending Adapter Module to split messages;, but I now create this new topic so you can get points for your answer
Jan from this thread wrote "I know how to send a new message using a new instance of the Module Processor and using ModuleProcessor.process()" and I'm now searching for a code example how to create a new message from within an adapter module. I think it must be something like [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm40/helpdata/en/8d/6ad6409ff68631e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm].

Hi Sippy,
First of all we need to configure the systems. So that we can transfer data from Outbound system to Inbound system.
Configure an Outbound Process that uses Message Control
Step 1: Create a new Message Type
TCode: We 81
Path: From the Area menu of EDI, choose Development, IDOC Type/ Message
Step 2: link the IDOC type to the Message Type
TCode: We 82
Path: From the Area menu of EDI, choose Development, IDOC Type/ Message
Step 3: Create a new Process Code
TCode: We 41
Path: From the Area menu of EDI, choose Control,Outbound Process COde
Step 4: Create or Change a Partner Profile
TCode: We 41
Path: From the Area menu of EDI, choose IDOC,Partner Profile
Configure an Outbound Process for Stand-Alone Programs.
1. Create a new message type
2. Link the IDOC type to the Message Type
3. Add the message to the ALE Distribution Model(use BD 64)
4. Create or change the Partner Profile
I think this will be helpful for you.
Reward points if useful.

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Mail can't create a new message window ...?

Hi,
Mail.app on my machine has been having a strange issue the past few days. Twice now, it has lost the ability to create a new message editing window.
If I click the new message button, or select "New Message" from the file menu, or click the "Reply" button on an existing message, etc. but no new message window ever appears. Quitting Mail.app and restarting, all the new message windows suddenly appear and everything is fine again ... until the next time.
Anyone else ever had Mail.app lose the ability to create new message editing windows like this?
Machine: Powerbook G4 15" (Oct 2005, 1.67GHz)
OS: 10.5.8
Mail: 3.6 (936)
All software updates applied
Thanks!

That worked. Now, why didn't I think of that!?

Getting error Unable to create a new Message Layout: 500 attempts failed.

Dear All,
I am trying to add Form Value item to the Message Component Layout region through personalization.
I am getting error Unable to create a new Message Layout: 500 attempts failed.
While I am able to add Message Text Input, Message Lov Input items without any issue.
Same issue will appear if I add stack layout region.
The requirement is to add two hidden field to a Oracle supplied Message Component Layout Region( Page /oracle/apps/pa/finplan/webui/UpdateForecastLinePG
region UpdateResourceAssignmentRN.FinSumFieldsRN)
Please help me any work around or solution.
Regards
Devender Yadav

Hi Sun,
Thanks for reply.
I am just trying to add Form Value item not the Message Layout Bean.
Jdeveloper is allowing to add the messageLayout bean to messageComponentLayout (I have just tested it). It means OA Framework is facilitating it, it is the personalization Framework which may have restriction.
