Email in Mavericks OS

When writing an email in Mavericks OS, when editing text, placing the cursor is off back several characters... example, if I type "Dear sir or madam...", and place my cursor in front of the "s" in sir... it begins typing several characters away.
Just noticed when I try to edit the text of this message it does the same thing...

I called apple support about this. - the tech had me delete the file library/preferences/com.apple.mail-shared.plist .
That seems to have cured the problem for now.

Unable to Archive Emails in Mavericks!

I am unable to archive emails in Mavericks.
This is what happens:
1. I am archiving emails in one or all mailboxes and then I switch to a different mailbox in Mail.
3. Then I switch back again to the previous mailbox and all the emails I tried to archive earlier, appear in the same mailbox (inbox)
Any sollutions?

I've posted this question elsewhere (going to close it now) and I fixed it by selecting "Rebuild" from the Mailbox menu. It took a while to complete (see the floating activity window), but once that was done, Archiving worked.
Oddly it worked for me on some messages but not others, and there was no pattern to which worked (from, to, subject, etc.)
Try this and let's see if it works for you too.

Tagging eMail in Mavericks

Is it possible to tag individual eMails in mavericks?
I know I can save the eMails to a text file or word doc etc, but what if I want to tag the eMail itself?? without the step of saving it to another kind of file?

Not really what you're looking for, but here's a way in Finder.
First search (⌘F).
Then press , then [other]
Then Select "Flagged", or "Flag Color" (Check "In Menu" to make searching later easier)

How do I view BCC recipient addresses in sent email (since Maverick took this function away)?

With the Maverick update, it's no longer possible to view BCC email addresses for previously sent messages. I looked EVERYWHERE on my machine and it seems that the data is gone.
I need to retrieve this information as it's very urgent and regarding a cancer patient. Here's what I want, to be clear. I want to open a previously sent message and view all of the recipients (INCLUDING those who were BCCd!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Someone from Apple, please help! ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can no longer attach a PDF to Outlook email in Mavericks OSX even though I have Mac Outlook selected as my email client. (It worked under Mountain Lion)

I used to have a problem with Acrobat Pro X not recognizing Mac Outlook as my email client when using the 'SHARE' function under Acrobat Pro X . Then it was fixed and worked most of the time, although I occasionally had to go back and select Outlook as my default email in Preferences. However, I recently upgraded from Mac OSX Mtn Lion to Mavericks, and now it does't work AGAIN. It hangs up my Acrobat, Causing a Force Quit every time I try this! Very frustrating. I know I can just attach it to an email from my desktop, but it would be nice if the "Attach to Email" function in Acrobat actually worked. BTW, I am using Acrobat Pro X 10.1.10.

I, too am wondering if it's the download site. I am not aware of any way to download Outlook Mac 2011 alone from any site including Microsoft's.
It is common for unscrupulous sites to offer desirable but pirated software for a modest price, but serve it up with a dose malware. They get you money, possible a credit card number, your e-mail, your IP address, and all you get is pain.
There was an "Outlook Express" for Mac that was freely distrubuted but I'll pretty sure that it never ran natively under OSX. The first OSX native version fo Office:Mac was Office X, and it introduced Entourage as the Mac mail client.
IF Fast Hosts is your ISP, I'd certainly talk to them to figure out what you downloaded.

How to send GROUP email in Mavericks?

Sending email to Contact Groups in Mail doesn't appear to be working in Mavericks anymore. We use to be able to type the Group name, click enter, then all addresses appear. Now it just disappears with no email addresses added.

Steve, I just saw a post by another person that provided a work around which works for me:
A workaround for sending an email to a group in Contacts, might be right-clicking on a group and choosing Send email to "{group name}".

TS3276 How do I open Microsoft word documents in a Email since Maverick does not recognize MS Word?

How do I open a Microsoft Word cocument in a Email since I upgraded to Maverick. Maverick does not recognize MS Word, Excel and Power Point.

MS Office 2008 and 2011 work fine in Mavericks. What version are you using? You can always use a program such as Open Office to open the docs.

Is there a way to import Outlook 2010 emails to Mavericks Mail without 3rd party software?

I'm hoping that there is a fairly straight-forward way this can be done.
My friend has just purchased a MacBook Air with Mavericks operating system. This is her first Mac and she needs to get all her old business emails onto her new MacBook.
She paid for '1 on 1' Apple support and had a session with an 'expert' yesterday - taking along her old PC laptop in the hope that he could help her. He basically told her she should 'start a new life using Mail'. This is not what she needed to hear.
I'm using Mail version 5.3 on my 5 year old MacBook with OS X 10.7.5. I don't want to give her incorrect advice but my version of Mail allows one to Import mailboxes but not, unfortunately, it would seem emails from Microsoft programs for the PC.
My question is this -
Once she has created an Outlook Data File (.pst format) is there a way she can convert this to .mbox format so that the data can be imported into Mavericks Mail without the use of third-party software?
I'm sure that she's certainly not the first person who has faced this situation but, from the attitude of the (less than helpful) Apple help person I fear that the answer may not be yes.
Cheers
Tricia

Do you know where she should look on her Outlook program to find this out? She hasn't started using Mail yet because she hasn't been able to transfer her emails - so she's still sending/receiving emails from her laptop PC.
No idea, I try not to have anything to do with Outlook except provide a way out of it for the sensible. But aren't you an Outlook user?
Here's the link to the site I found -
http://www.outlooktomail.com/buy-now-for-mac/
That should be fine, it is the same as the one in the Mac app store (which would be the preferred version to use)
My 'help' situation is a little worse than it would first seem - we're in different countries (very grateful for Viber) - her attention span for matters technological is rather short so I'm trying to make everything as painless as possible - and yes, she has backups of her backups so all should be well in that regard.
Thanks so much for your help.

You're welcome.

Why do I have to use safari to download attachments from my emails in mavericks?

I would like to download attachments from my email using a different internet browser. I like to use firefox but it seems if you recently upgraded to Mavericks. You may only download attachments with safari. Maybe firefox needs an update or apple really wants us to try the new safari (What I think) which is annoying to contantly learn new browsers because they have a new one released. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Firefox is working for me with Mavericks just as it was working with Mountain Lion. But I use POP mail and Thunderbird, not webmail. So I cannot test what you are trying to do, download attachments.

Deleting multiple emails in Maverick

I only just downloaded Mavericks this past week. I don't like how we have to use the "shift" or "command" key to delete multiple emails. I preferred and found it simpler to just use my mouse and click and highlight. Anyone know if this might revert back ? LOL

I wouldn't count on it.

Can't delete multiple draft emails with Mavericks

I have the problem of Mail saving multiple drafts of my emails on the server. The threads for users earlier versions of OS X, suggest that the solution is to uncheck the 'Store draft messages on the server' option, in the Mail account preferences. However, I find that since upgrading to Mavericks it isn't possible to do this permanently - I uncheck the box and save the change, and when I next look, the box has been rechecked without my doing anything.
I notice one other person using Mavericks reports the same problem - has anyone any suggestions how to resolve this?

I found the answer on another thread - works perfectly - Steve Rhyne has the answer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23500944#23500944

I get a spinning pinwheel when trying to attach a file to email - running Mavericks. iMac just hangs, have to power off

Suddenly, without having made any significant changes to my iMac running Mavericks, I cannot attach a file to an email. I get a spinning wheel, I can't even force quit, the machine just locks up. Happens with different mail clients and different browsers.

Hello E1777,
You can try this link to download iTunes from the Apple website. It should resolve the issue for you.
iTunes 11.0.4

Can not send HTML formatted email since Mavericks?

Hi..
I was using Thunderbird happily in Mountain Lion and all was well. But as soon as I upgraded to Mountain Lion I can no longer send any HTML formatted emails at all. Everything I paste into Thunderbird get instantly converted to 'plain text'. Apart from manually editing basics like font colour, italics, bold I can't do much else.
'Compose messages in HTML' is checked across all accounts, and 'Delivery Format' is set to 'Rich Text HTML'.
Yet thunderbird refuses to render any pasted HTML formatted material.
If I can not find a solution to this I will have to find an alternate mail client as rich formatting is critical for me.

I just wiped Thunderbird completely from my system (Mavericks) and reinstalled from scratch. Yet still it will not render any HTML pasted into an email copied from Safari.
I did however manage to paste HTML from Firefox and then Chrome into Thunderbird and they both rendered perfectly.
But.. things get a bit strange. I am able to copy HTML from any webpage opened in Safari and paste it into a Googlemail email also opened in Safari and it renders fine.
This is such a pain as Safari is my browser of choice and Thunderbird my email client of choice. But they just don''t want to work together in Mavericks.
:((

Mac seems slow to load web pages and email since mavericks upgrade

Since upgrade from Mountain Lion to Mavericks on my iMac, web pages seem a lot slower to load on screen. Also, when I open my mail inbox, the mail content (wording) takes a long time before appearing on the right hand side, then followed a little later with the display content. I have synchronised all my mail accounts and also emptied my cache in the safari browser, but this has not resolved the problem.

Go to Applications (you can do this by clicking on the desktop and hitting cmd-shift-A). Within the Utilities folder you should see a program called Terminal. Launch this program, which should just be a window that you can type into. Type the following (or just copy and paste into the window) and hit return:
     networksetup -setv6off Wi-fi
Then go back to Network Preferences and verify that IPv6 is set to off. If that doesn't help, enter these two commands in succession:
     cd /Library/Preferences/
     sudo mv com.apple.security-common.plist ~/Desktop/
Note that this moves a configuration file onto your desktop. If that doesn't fix things you may want to put it back:
     cd /Library/Preferences/
     sudo mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.security-common.plist .
Good luck!
