Does Mail App has an offline feature like Google Mail?

I store all my emails on my IMAP .me.com account, but when I am offline I cannot access any emails. Does Mail App has an automatic sync option with locally stored mailboxes? Or is there an offline option such as Google Mail offers?
Would appreciate any help.

I'm not sure what Google Mail offers, but in Mail Preferences, Accounts, (select the account) and click on Advanced, there is an option for how to store messages for offline viewing.
However, I have mine set not to keep any messages, but when offline, I still have the local copies of all the messages.

The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

opps. Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those. Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads. Problem still contintues. Any suggestions?

Folks,
even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
What else can be done to correct this problem?
Thanks and best regards.

What you have experienced, though annoying, doesn't necessarily mean someone has hacked your account, though if you were finding that you were blocked because the sending limit had been reached that might indicate that you had been hacked.
What can happen is that when people receive emails which appear to come from their own address but they haven't sent they naturally tend to be concerned: however it's most unlikely that anyone has hacked their account, they've just been targeted by one of two common spammers' techniques: both arise because it's all too easy to forge the 'from' address on messages to be something other than the real one.
There are two methods. One is that the sender has forged the 'from' address to be the same as the 'to' address (so other people will see it coming from themselves, not you), presumably in the hope of confusing spam filters. It's harmless, if extremely annoying. Delete it (never ever answer spam or try to unsubscribe from it), and you don't need to be worried about it.
The other problem is that a spammer is forging your address as the 'from' address on a whole batch of messages. The first thing you hear about this is when you start getting bounce messages because the spam has been sent to non-existent addresses and is being bounced to you. There's no point at all in responding to it. It's infuriating but normally stops after a bit as they move on to another forged address.
There isn't really anything you can do about it: closing the account isn't really worth the hassle unless you are totally swamped, because you will have to tell everyone your new address. Apple can't really do any more than they already are about spam. However changing your password on general principles is a good idea.

The mail app on my Mac laptop will not open. This began happening after an upgrade during which "Security UPdate 2012-004" was installed. My mail app has a new icon, and I think i trashed the old program (trying to follow directions). Suggest a fix?

Cannot Get Mail - Mail app has been frozen, no new downloads, since 7/14.

My mail app has been frozen since 7/14, and usually it just says it was updated on 7/2/14. However, occasionally, it gives me the message: "The mail server 'imap.gmail.com' is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."
Needless to say, I have done this. I have quit the app many times, reset the iPad, and finally last night I broke down and downloaded the 8.3 update (I was using 7.something before), and I am STILL getting this message and no new emails!
I can check on my phone and computer browsers just fine. Is there something I'm missing here? Really appreciate any help anyone can give. I finally got fed up not having this functionality.
THANK YOU!!!!

I should mention the only other idea I've had is to delete my gmail account from my mail app, and re-add it later?

My Mail app has disappeared from my ipod

Whilst reorganising my apps in my ipod touch the mail app has disappeared.Anyone know how to retrieve it?

Perhaps you have dropped it into a folder, together with another App. Check the App icons. Look for one that is a dark square with tiny (tiny) icons in the square. Tap it and it should expand to show you all the Apps in the folder.
You can drag it out of the folder if you wish and set it on the Home Page.

Does ipad2 have a "show topsites" feature like the Macbook Pro?

Does ipad2 have a "show topsites" feature like the Macbook Pro?

No, Safari on the iPad is a fairly basic browser and with iOS 5 it now uses tabbed browsing and not the thumbnail/page view as on previous iOS versions (which only showed your open pages and not top sites).

Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail.

Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail. It was fine yesterday and just went mute today. I have Mac OSX 10.7.2 and a MacBook Air. Is there any way to fix this easily?

I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I'm sending out viruses.
Is this a common issue?
Has this been solved?

I deleted the mail app and now could not reinstall. Mail repeatedly quits. Please help reinstall mail app on imac. Thanks.

Re-install the OS, the only sure ay to get it back working.

Mail app has stopped working after 10.9.4 update on July 4, 2014

Mail is totally dead. It does not connect to the internet. Each of my email accounts has the exclamation triangle next to them. No new peripherals or devices or USB connections were added after the update. The system worked before the update, and the same system stopped working (Mail app so far) after the update.

In your opinion Apple was doing a garbage job, when in fact it was Intego that trashed your Mac. That's all it is capable of doing.
But now I have no virus protection.
This is a common misconception. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage convey no benefit and as you found out, can simply prevent your Mac from working as it is designed to work.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Mail App all accounts offline

I have the latest Mavericks install on MAc Book Pro and all software is updated. However my mail app takes all the accounts offline every few days.
I am not checking gmail, just a pop mail accounts.
This is extremly annoying. I have tried the suggested fixes, (taking all accounts offline, avoiding mac to go to sleep, closing and reopening mail, rebuilding mailbox etc.)
I have reinstalled the os and it works for a few days, but then starts failng. And apple apparently doesn't care.
However the problems persists. Anybody out there who can help me? Thanks for any tips you may have.

I want to do the same thing, but it seems 'Mail' doesn't.
Eudora does this 'delay' thing beautifully; I'm often sorry I ever changed over to Mac's 'built-in' mail. Interfacing with Address Book really isn't all that much of an advantage, I'm beginning to think. And I can't get Mail to search comprehensively for text strings; it ignores some mail boxes: and no, 'Privacy' has not been set on any of these!

Mail app has gone cuckoo again

My mail has stopped downloading from my ISP either by wifi or 3G. There is no issue with the ISP. When I try to download it connects checks and then immediately returns me to the home screen. When I try to delete emails it does so, takes me out of the app and when I return the emails are back. This happens when I try to also delete the trash folder emails.
This has happened before so I had to take it back to factory setting and start all over again. Don't want to do this again
This happened pre 3.1.3 so I updated no change though
Any help appreciated

I had a similar problem this morning.
The current setup has the phone syncing two IMAP mail accounts and calendar/contacts automagically with Google.
If I launched the iPhone mail app, it would briefly show, vibrate, then crash back to the main screen. This would repeat each time launching mail, and even after hard reset.
Going to the macbook pro and using the mail app to look at the mail accounts, there was one email message that did not display a body, suggesting a malformed mail.
Deleting this one mail via the laptop seems to have enabled my iPhone mail app to access that account again without crashing.
I would suggest to others having a similar issue to first consider finding and delete similar offending mails via other mail programs on their desktop/laptop.

Mail.APP has been deleted and don't know how to get it back ?

Please forgive my stupidity, But I have deleted my Mail app I don't know how but all that appears now
in it's place on the dock is a black piece of paper with a ruler and stuff.
Could somebody please help me out and tell how to get it back

Insert the OSX installation Disk, and instead of proceeding to install, choose the Optional Installs -- Mail is one that can separately installed this way.
If the Install Disk has an earlier version of OSX than you have currently arrived at by updates, then you will have to download the Combo Update for 10.5.7, and install that over the existing OSX after having installed the Mail app. This is combo is 729 MB, and is not the standalone delta update, btw.

Mail App has stop functioning

OK... I have never had a problem with Mail. Ever. I have my mail setup for IMAP with gmail.
Today... I come in and my mail app won't function. I click "Get Mail" and it won't download the messages from the gmail server. One strange thing is I can send email. However, when I send a message the Apple mail app "spins" forever and the while it thinks the message has yet to be sent, it shows as sent on the GMAIL server.
Is my only option to delete the account and then recreate it in mail preferences?

OK... fixed my problem. I ended up having to delete a couple of smart mailboxes. It seems the troublemaking email that caused all the problems kept trying to show up in the smart mailboxes. I have no idea why. But, once I deleted the smart mailboxes, all problems went away.
