Default signature issues with Mac Mail

All my emails persist with a default signature even when I change email addresses with single associated signatures. It merely keeps the first signature and tacks on the selected signature. I have removed all signatures and started again, assigning signatures to each email addie, but still the most used signature always appears. If I try to select none from the drop down menu and nothing happens at all. Any ideas?

Hello kgoody,
I have not been able to use my mac mail for 2 months now because of the server issue. "Try later" or "Try with selected server " were at the beginning of this nightmare. Since then I have not received a single email in the inbox. I downloaded an article "How to use Gmail with Apple's Mail" by Stephen Korecky and tried to fix the problem. It did not work because the Apple Mail windows did not show what they were supposed to. I called my software wizard and he said he will have to come and fix it. He did not show up yet. It is very frustrating.

  • Password issues with Mac Mail-help!

    I created a new email account through my internet provider (Comcast) and I can no longer access my email although it is showing up on webmail. The comcast person said I would probably have to change my password. I tried doing this on Mac Mail but there doesn't appear to be the usual place to type in new password and then confirm. I am not sure what password they are asking for. The mail account was set up so long ago that I have never used any password when checking my account. I also notice if I delete the password, the password dots are back when I open preferences up again. I don't understand this and Comcast will not help with Mac Mail questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You said you never used a password when checking you mail. You must have a password on the account, I don't see how you couldn't.
    When you go to www.comcast.net and go to the webmail client, you must enter your username and password in order to get your messages. It's this username & password that Apple Mail requires in order to access your email.
    If you want/need to change your password, you can do this at www.comcast.net from within the webmail client. When you are at your inbox on the webclient, on the left side of the screen there is a link for "Preferences". Clicking that will take you to another page and one of the options is "Change Your Password". That's where you would go to change your password for that specific email account.
    Good luck,

  • 3 issues with Mac Mail on Leopard...

    We just bought a NEW Imac at work, but my email doesn't work correctly. The first issue is that I get no New email sound at all. I need this at to work.
    Second thing is when I attach a file and send it to a PC, it embeds its and instead of attaching it. I attach by dragging and dropping it into the email. I had no problem doing this on my old IMac and mail program. It does work correctly if I actually go and locate the file and attach it, but this takes a lot long to do than just dragging and dropping. I do have "Window Friendly Attachments" checked, but it just won't work the way it did before.
    The third thing is that my IN box says I have 6 new emails, but nothing is there. I can't get rid of it. It is driving me crazy.
    Please help!!!!!

  • Issues with Mac Mail & smtp Settings

    For the past several days, I have had issues sending from Mail.  I get an error message that mail cannot connect to the server.  I've removed and re-added the outgoing mail settings and the smtp setting is correct.  I've installed all updates and shut down and restarted numerous times.  Every now and again, a message will get through and send very slowly, but most of the time, it just tells me it cannot send and offers me the chance to "Try Later" or "Try with Selected Server." 
    Anyone else experiencing such issues - would love to know troubleshooting advice.
    Thanks!

  • Sending issue with Mac Mail

    I use Mac Mail for all my accounts and I am having an annoying issue with my Yahoo Mail. About 75% of the time, it sends right when I hit send, but then 25% of the time, the send icon just has the spinning wheel and nothing goes through and I don't see the outgoing bar in the bottom left. Eventually, I get an error message that it didn't send and if I hit Try Later, it usually sends. If I shut down Mail and re-start it, the messages in the Outbox then send right away.
    My settings are all correct as it does send most of the time before getting hung up.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything i can do besides switching to Outlook or Entourage? I don't want to do that as I have read MobileMe does not work with Outlook.
    Thanks for any help,
    SJ

    I have the same problem. Around one time in five the gear will spin, no blue progress bar shows, nothing shows up in the Outbox or Sent box. My solution is to quit Mail and relaunch it immediately. Now any of the following may happen:
    1) It may show in the Sent box, having actually been sent successfully (this is rare).
    2) It will show in the Outbox and Mail tries to send it automatically, in which case it may or may not go normally; if not I have to go thru the quit/boot cycle again.
    3) It will show in the Outbox and I have to send it again manually, in which case it will probably go normally; if not I have to go thru the quit/boot cycle again.
    At least it won't be lost.
    It is not my account settings. It is intermittent. I think it started after I upgraded to 10.6.7 (I can't remember if that is when I got Mail 4.5)
    This is clearly a bug and I wish Apple would fix it.

  • Is there a known issue with Mac Mail and adding Yahoo! email accounts?

    My Mac Mail application already as one account it in - my iCloud account.  It works just fine.  Every time I add a second account - Yahoo! (automatic setup), the account is created fine with all fields populate correctly, but after a few seconds the account and all it's contents disappears.  Just as if I had manually deleted it myself.  I did many tests, and sometimes the account stays, and sometimes it disappears.  I'm not accidentally hitting a '-' or 'remove' or 'erase' or 'delete' buttons.
    Mail Version 7.3 (1878.2)

    Check Console.app (Applications > Utilities) for any mail-related errors getting logged, when the newly-added account vaporizes.
    Try configuring the Yahoo! connection manually; set the smtp and pop settings explicitly?
    Yahoo is also reporting some connectivity outages today, due to a cable cut.  That's probably not related to this, but it might cause problems.
    FWIW, OS X 10.9.4 has Mail.app Version 7.3 (1878.6).  Might see if that upgrade helps here, too.
    If Mail.app is crashing, try configuring Mail.app in a completely separate (new) login — see if there's something in the saved mail preferences that's corrupted.

  • The "always match my default message font" option in the Signature preferences from Mac Mail does not work if e-mail is received in other Mail Software. How can I make it work?

    The "always match my default message font" option in the Signature preferences from Mac Mail does not work if e-mail is received in other Mail Software. How can I make it work?

    I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems.  It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.

  • Font size changes randomly inside mail received (sent with Mac Mail)

    Hello! Here is a random issue on Mac Mail Leopard, seems few people already experimented the issue but no one found a correct solution:
    When i send a mail to somebody, we can randomly notice a change of the font size (from 9px to 12px) in the received mail. This appears mostly in sentences after others sentences containing some bold text.
    Note that I use the Calibri font, which is correctly set for the whole mail.
    Appart from starting to write inside the signature to avoid any problem, i didn't find a way yet to fix that issue. But I imagine that if it would be a bug in the software, Apple would have fix it for decades ?..
    So anyone could give an explanation? Thank u!

    Thanks baltwo and Tom. I'll try sending as a PDF file as well.
    Also, I did a test per Tom's instructions about reformatting text. First, I copied text from another email and then pasted it in a new message. I highlighted all the text where I wanted to increase the text size and left one paragraph unchanged.
    I sent the email to the recipient that's having these issues where she replied back with my forwarded email.
    All the text where I increased the point size shrunk and the text that I left alone was actually okay - Weird! I also noticed that the font style changed on their end. By the way, the recipient uses Microsoft Outlook as their email browser.

  • I am using a mac mini (10.8.3) with Mac Mail 6.3 (1503).  Whenever I try to forward an email with attachments, the attachments do not make it.  They show being sent, but the attachments never are sent.

    Hey Guys,
    The title says it all.  Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments.  Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace.  We are setup with IMAP.  It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
    We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail.  We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
    I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround.  The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.

    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

  • OS X 10.10.1 Apple Mail reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers

    Apple Mail(8.1) reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers on my iMac and Laptop Pro with the new Yosemite update!  Spent 1.5hrs with the virgin team (thought we solved it by changing from Auto to one minute update) only to find on return I still have an issue with Mail!  On the iMac the account opens and I see all the mail arriving. When I switch over and the back, days of recent mail have disappeared?
    If I search for one I saw, It is found?
    On the Laptop Pro, its similar, but it also has a problem remembering the outgoing port no matter how often I save it keeps going back to port 143 and this makes the send fail each time?
    Will I have to move to another mail client or is their a fix coming?

    The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3 & there won't be any updates/upgrades.
    You might try the freeware mail app Thunderbird. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ It's newer than Mail for Tiger.

  • Users Having Troubling Sending Email with Mac Mail Client with Godaddy

    Hello,
    I recently had issues' with my mail and my new Mac Pro and sending emails from www.godaddy.com. I tried 4 email clients and could retrieve my emails but the outgoing mail server keep rejecting my password. After I almost switch email companies I called one last person from godaddy. The support person James M suggested deleting the account in my email manager on godaddy system and re-created the account and everything works fine. Please note, to back up emails before doing this. I think something is corrupting something in the server that requires the deletion of the email account that is only effecting 10.64 users.
    Best of luck,
    M

    Have GoDaddy reset the SMTP relays to 0 (zero), then back up to 250 (or whatever your limit is). This reset the password authentication and emails were sent fine afterwards. Good luck.

  • Thawte Personal Email Cert - Problem with Mac Mail

    Hi, I have requested a free cert from Thawte and there seems to be a problem with Mac Mail (using 2.0.7).
    I am using Entourage to send a signed message from [email protected] to [email protected]
    If I check mail for [email protected]
    Mac Mail reports "There was a problem reading the digital signature for this message"
    If I check the same account with Thunderbird, everything works fine.
    Anyone else having or had problems?
    -chris

    Hi,
    Thanks for the responses. I requested another cert and that did not help. Here is the process I used after requesting another cert.
    1. Logged into www.thawte.com and requested a new cert.
    2. Using Firefox, retrieved the cert.
    3. In Firefox, backed up the cert to a pkcs12 file.
    4. Opened Keychain and deleted the first cert.
    5. Imported the pkcs12 backup file. Imported fine.
    6. Open Entourage, under tools, accounts, exchange profile, security, selected the cert Thawte Freemail Member.
    7. Checked all 3 options (sign, include cert, clear test signed.
    8. Created a test message from Entourage to .mac account address.
    9. Checked mail with Mac Mail and signature fails.
    10. Check with 1.02 Thunderbird and it comes back with valid digital signature.
    Next, I sent a test email to my Exchange account from Entourage and that message verifies fine. It just seems to not work when I check my email with Mac Mail.
    Thanks!

  • How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

    How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
    Pop account

    Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

  • Having issues with Yahoo mail on ios4 on a 3GS

    Is anyone else experiencing issues with Yahoo mail on their 3GS after the upgrade to ios4?? Keep getting an imap server error, but gmail works fine.

    Same problem. I have two Yahoo! Mail accounts. One stopped sending mail, while the other was fine. (Both could receive, however.) To solve that, I deleted the problematic account from the phone and reinstalled it. It worked... until I synced by iPhone with iTunes. Now both Yahoo! Mail accounts will not work, and deleting them and reinstalling them does nothing.
    Apple had better fix this. (Or I'll whine louder.)
