Email in inbox doesn't link to corresponding email message

starting yesterday, november 10, when i click on an email in my inbox sometimes it shows the correct email message and sometimes it shows a message from a long time ago. it is like the link from the inbox to the actual email is incorrect. has anyone else experienced this problem? there are emails i cannot access because it links to the wrong one.

You should rebuild your Mail index like this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file(s).
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages; then check to see if that resolves your problem.

Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

Why can't I use links within my email messages? When a link is clicked, nothing happens--it doesn't go to that specific website.

HI Ana ...
I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
That's a different issue...
First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.

Emails stay unread (inbox doesn't refresh)

Hi,
If I open an email in outlook 2010 they stay unread.
I have enabled following options in the reading pane:
Mark item as read when selection changes
Single key reading using space bar
I've also tried to enable the "Mark items as read when viewed in the Reading Pane" and set it to 5 seconds. But that also doesn't work.
I've also noticed that when I open an email, I go to sent items and then go back to my inbox, the emails are now marked as read? So it looks like my inbox doesn't refresh?

Hi,
Does this issue happen to subfolders under Inbox?
We can try to start Outlook with /cleanviews switch to check if the problem is related to corrupt view. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews and press Enter.
We can also try to open Outlook in safe mode to check if this issue is caused by problematic add-ins.
Press Windows key + R, type outlook.exe /safe in the Run box and press Enter. If the problem would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable suspicious add-in to resolve the problem.
Please let me know the result.
Thanks,

Accessing links embedded in email messages fails on an iPad

Our iPad 2 can't open web links embedded in email messages from NY Times, Alternet, and other sites. Error messages is "Website is not available" or "Can't access server". Internet access works otherwise. Problem is the same regardless of whether IOS Gmail app or Apple Mail app is used. It also doesn't seem to matter which browser is used (we've tried Chrome and Safari).

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Linking a iCal event to an email message in Apple Mail?

I often find it would be very helpful if I was able to link a mail message to an event in iCal (ie: someone sends me an email regarding an upcoming event, which I then add to my iCal calandar, but for the specific details regarding the event I still need to refer back to the original email).
It seems like this would be a commonly used and desired feature, yet I can't seem to find it...
Apple included it in iCal with the URL linking feature...maybe some variation on this will let me accomplish what I want...?

Hi John, the text in the Event Log box is copied below the line. Thanks so much!

My email messages in my inbox on my new Apple Mac Air have suddenly disappeared and I only have the ones from the last 6 days visible. Help

Hi
About a month ago I bought a new Macair and it has been working very well. It is synced with my ipad and my iphone. Now all of a sudden, my email messages in my inbox have dissapeared if they are older then 6/7 days. Can anyone help me get them back, does anyone know where they have gone? I haven'tchangedany settings and can't find anything in Preferences that says to delete or remove them after so many days.

Link sent email message to excel spreadsheet

I am sending emails to clients. I would like to be able to add a link to my comments section and be able to see the email I sent to the client from excel. Is that possible?

Tanzim Wrote in his post:
Cause of the issue
Gmail webmail accounts do not have separate sent items and inbox folders. The Gmail account web page contains a Sent Mail link on the left side, but this is not a separate folder from the inbox. Gmail webmail messages are grouped into conversations, resulting in all sent messages and replies from others appearing as a single email message entry in the inbox. This allows for easy reading and viewing on the Gmail web page, but, when integrated with the BlackBerry Internet Service account, results in copies of sent email messages arriving on the BlackBerry smartphone as new email messages.
Resolution
To prevent sent messages from returning to the BlackBerry smartphone each time, create a filter in the BlackBerry Internet Service account to block the sending of those messages to the BlackBerry smartphone.
To create a filter, perform the following:
Log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account. For instructions on how to log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account, see KB03781.
Click the Filters icon next to the integrated Gmail account.
Click Add a Filter to create a new filter.
Configure the filter so that email messages are not sent to the BlackBerry smartphone if the email message originates from the Gmail webmail account integration:
Type a name for the filter into the Filter Name field. For example, My sent Gmail email messages.
Set the Apply filter when field to "FROM" field.
Type the Gmail webmail address into the Contains field. For example, <user name>@gmail.com>.
Select the radio button beside Do not forward messages to device.
Click Add Filter.
Note: After creating this filter, email messages will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone if sent from the Gmail webmail account.

Imap inbox only shows 1 email message until mail.app is quit/restarted

i am having a problem with mac mail that has persisted for months and nobody i talk to has an answer. this started in leopard - same account in panther mail did not do this.
basically i have one particular email account on a well supported university imap server (eg it is a standard imap account, no funny ports, nothing shady about the server). i use mac mail to access the account but when i leave it open for a few minutes suddenly all the emails in the inbox disappear, except one. oddly, the one email message that shows in the inbox seems random - sometimes it is a message from a week ago, sometimes the most recent one, sometimes one from last year.
i have tried changing the imap settings, turning on/off idle mode, etc etc to no avail. the account previously had 1500 messages in the inbox and recently i trashed all but 150. still happening. when i restart mac mail all the messages show up again. it is just unpredictable and annoying because i have several accounts so i usually leave mac mail on all accounts inbox view and then go crazy trying to find an email in that account, only to realize it is this bug again
any ideas?
thanks

perhaps this subject line is clearer than my previous post

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox at once?

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox in one move, rather than selecting one at a time, then deleting?

You CAN delete all your email. Here's how: >> Open Inbox >> Edit >> Check/select the top message; it will highlight the move button. >> Press and hold the move button and uncheck the message that you had checked earlier. >> Lift all your fingers off from the ipad screen and leave it alone. Wait until all your messages pile up on the right hand portion of the screen (in ipad); iphone will give you the actual number of emails it has selected for the action. Now they are just waiting for your command to be moved ALL at once. >> Choose trash to delete all of them or any other folder where u want to move them, like one piece. Remember this will replicate your action on the server so you will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad. Once you have moved all messages to the trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and touch Edit. The Delete All button shows up at the bottom of the screen. Hit it! You’re done! If you do not see the effects of your actions on the server make sure you have enabled your email accounts for such actions.

I can't move several emails from my inbox to trash. I get the message, "Unable to Move." This is only happening on older emails dated 9/29 and 9/30

I have an iPad running on 8.1 software. I have several email messages in my inbox dated 9/29 and 9/30 that I can't move to trash. I get the message, "Unable to Move." I'm not having this problem with newer messages.

Http links in email messages

http links in email messages, when clicked, do not cause safari to "come front"
Links do go to Safari, but Safari stays hidden in the background,behind the email window.
(email address links within messages work fine)

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
