Different proofing languages for new mail & replies in Outlook 2010

I have recently been upgraded to Windows 7 & Office 2010 at work. My biggest frustration (currently) is the proofing language used by Outlook. I have managed to set my proofing language to English (Canada) finally (for a while it insisted
on German (Switzerland) with an interesting brief deviation to Portuguese (Brazil) for some reason) for new messages. I have moved my custom dictionary over from my old computer & it works fine. Unfortunately, try as I might, I cannot get my
proofing language for REPLIES to use English (Canada). It insists on English (US) and won't use my custom dictionary.
Suggestions?

Proofing language for new mails is always "English UK" though default is German

I have Office 2013 Professional Plus installed, English version with German language pack. As "Editing Languages" I have configured German and English, with German the default one.
Still, when I create a new e-mail and start to type, all the German words are highlighted because the proofing language is set to "English". Even when I create a new, empty e-mail and go directly to "Review", "Proofing Language",
it is set to "English (UK)".
Other users (using Office 2010) are reporting the same issue. How can this be changed?

Is this only occurs to Outlook (both 2010 and 2013) ? How about Word?
Check if the users are using custom Stationery, if so, remove the custom Stationery and check if the behaivor still persists.
Normally, we can find the custom Stationery under the following location:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Stationery

No new mail notification in Outlook - CAS Exchange RPC Client Access problem

Hi, we're facing this problem:
Users start complaining they suddenly don’t receive new mail notifications in Outlook (2010/2013) anymore
Inbox does not show the new mail either
When the user changes folders in outlook, the new mail does show in the Inbox folder
Restarting Outlook shows the new mail as well.
The same new e-mail arrives instantly (with notifications) in Owa and on mobile devices
Sometimes the new mail notification pops up after a longer period of time (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes). But more often not at all.
This issue seems to occur at random. We’ve been problem free for a week, and sometimes it comes back three times a day.
Clients running Outlook 2010, 2013 cached or online, on site and off site. So it seems server related, not client.
It was seen first around January 8th. We did not make any changes around that time that we can link to this problem.
Only one CAS server (EXCH1-RTD) shows this issue. CAS servers on other sites are ok
EXCH1-RTD has CAS and HUB transport roles. The same site has two mailbox only servers. EXCH2-RTD (mailbox server for normal mailboxes). And EXCH3-RTD (mailbox server for archive mailboxes)
No entries in the event logs that seems to be related
As the problem only occurs with Outlook clients, I suspected RPC issues. We cannot gracefully stop the “Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access” service on EXCH1-RTD while the issue occurs. We
can only kill the process and restart the service, solving the issue instantly.
What we’ve tried until now:
Updated all Exchange servers from Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 to RU8-v2 (server OS=W2K8R2)
Updated all Exchange servers to latest critical Windows updates
Recalculated requirements using MS Sizing tool. Upgraded EXCH1-RTD VM from 8GB and 2 vCPU (1 core/cpu) to 16GB
and 4vCPU (1 core/cpu)
Ran various perfmon counters and compared them with other Exchange servers, not finding any obvious anomalies.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ron,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue is related to Outlook side. In your case, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the issue is related to add-ins. If the issue persists, you can create a new profile to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Check for new mail not working on one account

For a number of months now I have been having trouble getting new mail. I have my Apple Mail 2.1 preferences set to check for new mail every minute and play a New Mail Sound when something arrives. This seems to be working for my earthlink POP account but not my dot.mac e-mail account. The only way to get new dot.mac e-mail on my G5 tower is to alternately click on the left most icons for the different incomming tray icons in my in box, then the InBox icon itself. I dont have to do that for my second e-mail account--an earthlink POP account, or on either account on my laptop. Also, When I do click on the specific in box for my dot mac account, it takes forever to load that new mail, and the activity monitor shows that it is caching every attachment that is already in my in box even though it is already old mail.
Also, Mail seems to be following Smart Mailboxes arbitrarily. For instance, I have a smart mailbox set up to display any incoming mail from someone in my Family Group from address book, however it seems to ignore about half of these, but display the other half accurately.
Anyone know whats going on or how to fix it so I dont have to mannually keep checking for new mail? Again, I have my preferences set to check for new mail every minute and to play a new mail sound, and new mail does work fine from my Earthlink POP account.
Thanks for your help.

If this happens to your .Mac account only, try rebuilding the mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

Mail stops checking for new mail until closed and re-opened

This problem began a month or so ago and is only getting worse by the day. I have my Mail app set to check for new mail every minute, but recently it randomly stops checking at all and displays the triangle icon next to each Inbox. I have 10 different email accounts that I use Mail to check and they are a variety of different types from Exchange servers, to IMAP accounts, to POP accounts, iCloud, Outlook.com, Gmail, etc. Part of the time only 2 or 3 inboxes are affected, while other times (more recently) it’s ALL accounts. Clicking on Get Mail doesn’t help; no new mail is downloaded. The only way to get Mail to “wake up” is to close the app and then re-open it. When I do that, there is a flood of new mail that pours in to each account that had been offline. There are never any error messages telling me that anything has happened. I just know that Mail is stuck because of the triangle icon.
Also, there are times when my busiest account mysteriously has no new messages over a few hours, which is very unusual. Closing and re-opening mail will resume downloading mail again to that account. At least for awhile...
I thought I’d solved the problem by thinking that my router was only working intermittently, so I replaced it with a new Time Capsule. The problem did not go away.
I’ve talked to Apple Support and they’ve not been any help. I’d welcome any suggestions.

Mail forces "include when automatically checking for new mail"

I have two fully updated Leopard machines and a .Mac account through which I sync mail accounts, etc.
I primarily use IMAP to check mail, but I have some POP accounts set up in mail so that I can sometimes send mail from a different account. I uncheck the box on the advanced tab in Mail Preferences that says "Include when automatically checking for new mail." I have checked the box "Enable this account" which allows me to send the mails on a case-by-case basis.
The system works quite well when it stays in this mode. But sometimes the system forces the box to be checked on the POP accounts and it downloads mail that I don't want (this mail gets routed to the IMAP accounts anyway, so I wind up getting it twice).
I cannot figure out how to stop this from happening. I have made sure both machines have identical account setups. I have forced synced from one machine with the proper account setup to .Mac, then force synced from .Mac to the other machine to ensure they were equal. But it keeps happening anyway.....
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

For the purposes you have these accounts, both deselect (as you have done) Include when checking for new mail, and take the account Offline. The latter does prevent sending with the account, but will stop the undesired downloads. I have found the need to do both of these things at least since Mail 2.x and Tiger, and possibly since Panther.

Mail not checking for new mail

I have been noticing this for a while now but it is becoming extraordinarily frustrating to deal with: Mail.app does not report new emails have arrived unless I restart it, no error or warnings are displayed or indicated. I know there is new mail available only because I check on my iPhone and see that I have multiple new messages which arrived long before the 5 min check for new mail time I have set. Is there anything to "fix" this or do I have to find another mail app?
Just a bit of info, I do have 6 different IMAP accounts all loaded through mail. The "Get Mail" button doesn't do anything.

Same situation here... Thunderbird works ok... but I have to wait a lot or restart mail if I want to get the messages... Manually clicking "Get All New mail" doesn't work.
Any idea how to debug this problem? Any log file or tip? I am wondering if my problem is related to my IMAP server or it's just Mail

Mac Mail 6 is missing the "spinning wheel" indicator when checking for new mail

Before updating to Maountain Lion, when cheking for new mail in Mail, there was a little indicator ("spinning wheel") next to the Inbox to confirm it was actually working.
Since updating to Mountain Lion, the indicator isn't there. It's not that much of a big deal if it doesn't exist anymore, but it was good to have, and if it's just a setting I need to turn back on, then that would be cool, if I could find it

for who is "expected behavior"?????, if you have 6 mails account with different domain or private domains this is NOT an expected behavior... why? this missing indicator work to know if your site or email client is up or down or slow, ok maybe a lot of people don't use this but, don't take desicions like microsoft!!!... looks like some ex-employee from microsoft has a very cool job on apple right now
i don't know who did "This solved my questionRe: Mac Mail 6 is missing the "spinning wheel" indicator when checking for new mail"
you need to remove that... Take another bite to the apple an work on that!!!

Gmail continuously checking for new mail!

this is a very perplexing problem and i have searched forums for how to fix it but as i don't quite know what to call the problem, i haven't found any solutions yet!
i just got a new iMac and proceeded to set up my two gmail accounts with mac mail. one works perfectly fine, the other, for some reason unbeknown to me seeing as both were set up in the exact same way, the second gmail account is stuck continuously checking for new mail with the loading circle next to it.
i have tried deleting the account and adding it again several times, as well as restarting my computer and mail. i have tried taking the account offline and then connecting again but nothing has worked so far.
the settings are EXACTLY the same as the first gmail account that works fine. both are set to IMAP and as i didnt get the option to manually set up an account when i added them, they were both set up automatically by the mac mail app.
it might be helpful to note that i have the same two accounts set up on my macbook with mail 3.6 and they both work fine, so it is not a problem with my gmail account. (however on the macbook they are set up as POP not IMAP.. but i dont see an option to change that in mail 4.2)
PLEASE HELP! as i am very frustrated i cannot work this out on my own. not sure what other information you need but please just let me know if you need to see a screencap or something.
many thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

FWIW:
Apple Mail 4.0 and Snow Leopard seem to have multiple issues, rather long threads that follow (see links), but some users with multiple Gmail accounts have tried different solutions: best of luck.

One guy notes:
+Possible Solution Found+
+Ok, I think I may have figured something out here....+
+I use IMAP as stated earlier.+
+I started from scratch with my gmail accounts in mail 4.0.+
+I hit Mailbox > Take all accounts offline.+
+Then created my 2 gmail accounts, following gmail's support page I unchecked all the options on the Mailbox Behaviors tab.+
+I used [email protected] for the username, not just the first part of my email, i.e. [email protected] This is also suggested in the gmail help guide, but mail doesn't set it up this way.+
+I forced my SMTP port to 587 in mail's setting instead of just having it use "standard ports 25, 465, 587"+
+I created both accounts, set those options, and hit take all mailboxes online. Mail seems to be downloading my messages from gmail smoothly so far for both accounts at the same time.+

Mail constantly checks for new mail; downloads same emails repeatedly HELP!

For the last three days (since 19th), Mail has been downloading the same emails over and over again. I first noticed a problem when about 20 spam emails that usually route to my Junk folder appeared in my Inbox. I thought I had just moved it incorrectly and deleted them, then they appeared again later.
The mail jogger cycle (next to Inbox) keeps turning and turning like it can't stop checking for new mail. How do I get it to stop?? The emails are multiplying like gremlins in my Inbox and driving me nuts!
Also, it only downloads new emails when I first open the app. I have to force-quit out of Mail, then reopen, and I will get a couple of new emails, and then ALL THE EMAILS FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS AGAIN.
Mail was working fine for me until three days ago. The only thing I've changed recently is a Software Update on the 15th for QuickTime and iTunes.
Please help! I tried to Repair Permissions and it didn't do anything. I also tried removing all messages from the server and that did nothing either.

UPDATE: I think I got it to stop checking mail. I have Yahoo mail and I checked my email through online Yahoo. I was able to delete a bunch of emails and it suddenly stopped checking for email in the Mail app.
HOWEVER, it will NOT remove some of my junk emails. I was able to delete over 100+ of them. But one specific message (which I now have 8 copies of) will not go away. It is one of those 'Delivery Status Notification' emails. Is this a virus??
I've tried Erasing Deleted Messages and Erasing Junk Mail. Neither helps. These emails won't go away.
Help please! I would be very grateful.

Is it possible to keep an email account on the iPhone but stop if from checking for new mail?

I have an email account that has been deleted from the provider (Gmail), but I want to keep the old mails on my phone, while stopping it from checking for new mail. Is this possible?
If I disable the account to stop if from checking for new mail (and producing a bunch of annoying pop-ups every time the mail app is opened), the account becomes invisible and the old mails disappear. I want to keep them visible to I can read and refer to them, but want to stop the phone from trying to download new ones or check the account.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the thought. In this case, that doesn't really help much, as it requires a bunch of button pushing just to check emails. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, in addition to switching modes every time I check email, it also prevents the other accounts from downloading the most recent mails as well. Since it's possible to keep an account on a Mac computer, but take it offline, it's very disappointing if there isn't a way to do the equivalent on an iPhone so that it passively holds the mails but doesn't send constant pop-ups every time the app is accessed.

Checking for new mail icon next to mailbox seems to have disapeared

After upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion I noticed that the icon next to each mailbox that shows when checking for new mail is not there. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this, and if they have found a fix?

Yes, the little "spinner" is gone with Mountain Lion. It's checking mail, you just don't see it.

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

OSX 10.5.8 / Mail.app 3.6 - Mail.app No Longer Auto-Checks For New Mail

Since I upgraded to 10.5.8, Mail.app does not appear to be checking automatically for new mail. Regardless of how I set the preference (Every 1 Minute, Every 5 Minutes) it never checks for new mail, and I always have to click on "Get Mail".
I've verified this by opening the Activity WIndow and watching it for more than 5 minutes, with the preference set to 1 and 5 minutes between checks. I don't have time to test the longer intervals right now.
Mail.app is at version 3.6, modified yesterday morning at the same time that I used Software Update to apply the 10.5.8 update (from 10.5.7). I've used Spotlight to make sure that this is the only version of Mail.app on the drive.

Never mind...for the account in question, the "include this account when checking automatically" option was unchecked. Not sure how that happened...

Offlineimap-notify - wrapper that adds notifications for new mail

I've created my first little open source project (long overdue). It's a wrapper script that decorates OfflineIMAP's UI classes with notification sending for new mail, using Python's introspection facilities, before running offlineimap normally. See the man page for more info.

Excellent. This hits one of those little annoyances that's always seemed to never quite be worth fixing, for me. The only thing that it seems to be missing to me is the lack of a way to set the urgency of the notifications, which seems to be reasonably easy to fix (assuming I haven't missed anything obvious or otherwise done anything stupid):
EDIT: There was a patch here in a codebox, but it turns out that yes, I had done something stupid and it didn't actually work. I may or may not put a fixed version back up later.
Didn't look stupid at first glance; can't tell now. Anyway, I just pushed v0.5.1 to address this. For completeness' sake, I added a timeout setting as well.
