Email originating from Mail.app is junked

Community,
My company is using Exchange 2003 for our email server, which has had its series of troubles. However, the most recent one seems related to the new Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, instead of an aging Exchange server.
Email is set up as IMAP on both mobile and desktop devices. This is due to the lack of Exchange support in newly released versions of Mac OS.
The strange thing is, that email sent from the desktop computers, even to other emails in our domain ([email protected] <--> [email protected]), show up as Junk. However, emails from the iPhones or iPads do not.
Has anyone seen an issue like this? We're starting to troubleshoot a variety of possiblities to begin finding the issue, but there are literally a thousand different reasons this might happen... Could be awhile!
Thanks for any information,
Charlie

This has not been a problem with the use of Lion as the source of messages?
I suspect it is due to the presence of HTML in messsage text, which as been a problem in OSX for a long time, but only in Lion did it become harder to prevent by making the message Plain Text.  I know how to prevent Rich Text/HTML in Lion, and suspect the same is needed for Mountain Lion but have not yet had time to confirm as the same issue.
If you send me an email that will typically get marked as Junk, it might speed my analysis.  My email can be found by clicking on my name to the left, and looking in the bio line of the resulting Profile.
The server may be adding a Junk or SPAM labeling, and your email may only be responding to that header -- that is one of the thing I need to see from an example.

  • Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

    Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
    I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
    Any help with this?

    I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7.  Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
    In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
    We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message.  I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
    In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
    The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
    I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
    For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability.   Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.

  • Need to import 20 email accounts from Mail.app to my iPhone 6.

    HI,
    At one time I would see a listing in iTunes of all the email accounts I could import into my iPhone 4.
    I did that for a while but then was running low on space and deleted all the email accounts on the phone.
    Now I have an iPhone 6 with more room and want to import the accounts.
    But the listing is no longer shown in iTunes. (must have gone away in one of the updates).
    I have iCloud linking my Safari tabs across my devises so I think iCloud is running properly.
    Is there a quick way to get the accounts into my phone? Or do I have to add them one at a time?
    Thanks for any tips/info.
    DA./

    It does sound like the index is corrupted - if the messages aren't in the index, then the fact that they're in the mbox still won't let mail see them.
    Are there a lot of messages that are missing?
    if it's not too many - then open each one from the mbox-messages - then click message-move to from the mail menu & "move " them to the folder they're already in - after that they'll be visible in the mail app. actually , choose "move to xxx again" - it saves time. It doesn't matter if you do this to a message that is already visible in mail.
    I don't know a quick way to do this - but you can select multiple messages from the library & ctrl-click-open which at least opens a load at once.
    moving them in finder, or trying to import from a copy of the folder doesn't help.
    There's probably a much easier way - try some serious searching of these discussions.

  • Cannot sort emails sent from Mail App and Exchange

    When trying to sort emails on Outlook in Windows, lets say by "Flag", emails coming from a mac using mail app and exchange get placed at the top of the list.
    Have tried sending emails from the same account via webmail and iphone and they get sorted correctly.
    Anyone has had this problem?

    So, Here's what happens:
    1) Send email from Laptop (Snow Leopard) with Exchange Integration
    2) Send email from iPhone (3.1) with Exchange Integration
    In Outlook 2003 sort by flag (neither of these messages are flagged). Any email sent from the Snow Leopard is sorted first in the Unflagged category in Outlook. Any of the email sent from the iPhone is sorted normally.
    There's no differences in the headers to cause these to sort differently. The only headers that differ are the Date, Subject/Thread-Topic, Thread-Index, Message-ID, x-ems-stamp. But, in the Message-ID it has the same domain.
    Both Snow Leopard and iPhone are configured to use the same Exchange OWA/OWS.

  • I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL, how can I recreate / restore it ?

    Hi,
    Well, the title says it all : I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL,
    it still is spresent in my ~/library/mail folder, how can I recreate / restore it in mail.app ?
    Since I have a fair number of email accounts, intelligent mailboxes, rules and archive folder, I really don't want to rebuild everything. And, no, I can't use time machine to restore it.
    All help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi AdamKB, sorry for late follow-up.
    What I lost is the "container" that groups all junk mailboxes in one place in Mail, like is done for all the inboxes.
    The problem is that I lost visibility on all junk mailboxes. It is only a visibility problem because the junk mailboxes are still present locally for my POP accounts and remotely for may IMAP accounts, I justdon't see them anymore in Mail's interface.

  • Email replys missing their quote levels from Mail.app

    When I get html-formatted email from Mail.app that is a reply to an earlier message, the html version of the email looks fine. However, the text version that is also attached does not include any of the email quote levels.
    In other words, if the html version (as seen in Mail.app) looks like this:
    On Feb 5, 2010, at 10:31 AM, John Smith:
    | I confirmed with Jack that we will meet at 11
    The text version will look like this:
    On Feb 5, 2010, at 10:31 AM, John Smith:
    I confirmed with Jack that we will meet at 11
    I would exped the quoted text to start with "> ".
    This does not appear to happen when Mail.app is configured to send messages as Plain text.
    This seems like a bug. Is there a way to work around it until it gets fixed?

    Hello Greg.
    The Mail.app uses open internet standards for the message header and since there is so much bulk spam, many ISPs have spam filters on the server in addition to antivirus scans for attachments. There are false positives with both just as sometimes occurs with the the built-in spam filter with the Mail.app.
    The email client used by the recipient may also have a spam filter or a 3rd party spam filter which can also have false positives.
    If this occurs at the incoming mail server for the recipient, messages incorrectly marked as junk are not deleted and moved to a junk mailbox at the server. The recipient should have a preference setting at the server or the ability to mark a message as not junk (along with it is OK to allow future messages to be recieved by the sender's email address) that was incorrectly marked as junk by the spam filter.

  • Possible bug with HTML emails and attachments from Mail.app

    I'm trying to send an attachment with an HTML email from Mail.app and getting unexpected results. I've been messing around with the order that things get added to the new e-mail and it seems that I can have either an attachment or I can have HTML email, not both.
    The code... (of course simplified)
    tell application "Mail"
    set new_message to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"A subject", sender:"[email protected]"}
    tell new_message
    set visible to true
    make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
    tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:alias "Path to your file as string"} at after the last paragraph
    set html content to "<head><body>Some HTML here...</body></head>"
    end tell
    send new_message
    end tell

    The problem is that there is no such thing as HTML email.
    Well, I wonder what I have been generating for over three years now. RTF ? Because it sure looks like HTML. I must agree that HTML is not documented or even mentionned in the Mail AS dictionnary, but it does work, though you must specify visible to false so that it does. Here's my sub:
    tell application "Mail"
    set DMF to default message format
    set default message format to plain text
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject}
    tell newMessage
    set visible to false
    set sender to theSender
    make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:Photographer, address:theAddress}
    set html content to "<html><head><title>" & theSubject & "</title></head><body>" & "This is an automated response." & theSource & "Find your personnal planning on the web: " & thelink & "
    </body></html>"
    end tell
    send newMessage
    set default message format to DMF
    end tell

  • Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ?

    Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ? Any explanation ? Select a good format,that's a good explanation,but i can't know each time if our recipients use "Outlook Express".

    There are no completely bug free email clients including the Mail.app and Outlook has its share of bugs for such an old/mature email clients and some glaring ones that MS has been aware of for a long time but has chosen not to do anything about since these do not affect exchanging email with other Outlook users.
    Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and the degree depending on the Windows and Outlook versions used by the recipient.

  • PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

    PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox.  Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
    When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions.  It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app.  But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone.  And not in the Deleted box.  Just gone.  Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up.  Please help.
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
    Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
    At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
    Next...
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
    At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
    Select All = command A

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

    I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
    How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?
    Apple iPhone 4S iOS 5.1
    thank you
    Dave

    You're welcome.
    If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
    If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
    Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
    When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

  • ICal.app doesn't grab events/invitations from Mail.app

    Morning.
    My colleagues are using MS Outlook and send me invitations. I receive their emails with ICS attachments. In iCal.app I've activated »Preferences > Advanced > Automatically request invitations from Mail.app«. (I use a German GUI, therefore I do not exactly the terminology on an English GUI.)
    But iCal.app does not grab and display such invitations.
    What's wrong? What can I do to solve this serious problem?
    TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

    In fact the feed is at http://bongqiuqiu.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
    The oldest post in the feed is November 10, and Mail is showing back as far as that - a total of 25 posts.
    There may be older posts on the website, but many blog creation services limit the number of entries shown in the feed, moving older ones to an archive page and out of the page once that limit is reached. I don't know about Blogger, but I would assume that this is the case with this feed. You can expect the November 10 entry to disappear once a new one is added.

  • Outgoing email completely lost (Mail app with Gmail account) - Insanely awkward

    This is gonna be hard to explain as I have no "evidence" but here's what happened for the 3rd time now in the last 2-3 months on Yosemite using a Gmail account from Mail app.
    I write a mail (either reply or new one), send it and it get's completely lost. Can't find it anywhere neither from within the Mail app nor in Gmail's web interface. No error message, nothing. At first I thought I closed my laptop too soon after I hit the send button. I don't even know how to Google this issue, most of the similar issues and resolutions talk about SMTP and/or authentication errors, but again I don't have any error message.
    In one instance the message was indeed not delivered, in another one (that just happened to me yesterday) the recipient received the message but I still can't find it.
    Anyone ever experienced the same?
    While this is very low amount of occurrence, it is still very very annoying and creates awkward situations in a business context. I always think people who say "I have sent the message, haven't you received it?" are lying because there's no way an email gets lost like this.. And now I'm the one for the third time that asks this the other party.
    Anyone knows a way I could trace a message from some log file or anything? Any suggestions, insights are welcome.
    Thanks
    Dan

  • Cannot forward one page PDF files from mail app

    My earlier topic had incorrect problem report so I've created a new topic.
    The problem is i cannot forward one page PDF file from mail apps. I use imap set up for my work email.
    Multi page PDFs, photos, docs, numbers, all forward OK for both windows and Mac formats.

    Update: I hade had a reply from the Good Reader app developer saying this is a known issue even for them. However, they don't know if Apple will fix this or not.
    Basically mail app treats all one page PDF as if it's an image and will forward it the same as it would an image. Any non-apple based mail programs will have issues viewing this file..

  • Send email without opening mail app

    Hi
    So how can I send email without opening mail app.
    From: Overview of requested additional functionality, Ayuba Audu
    Hi Peter,
    There are a couple of services available that support sending emails via REST API calls. Of course, each such service requires a WADL connector to be created, but by taking advantage of resources such as the early alpha of our
    WADL Generator, along with
    our documentation, one will be enabled to do this.
    This way you do not need to have the Mail application available, on the machine the app is running on.
    Thanks.
    Hi Ayuba
    I guess the comment above was mentioned for this thread. If so can you please share a simple example file here or anywhere elese?
    Thanks

    Basically all I'm trying to do is to build an app for multiple users in one company. Each employer (user) is stored in collection with their password and email address. To get access to man screen of the app, employee must login in login screen. Chose his
    name and type the password. I want to add a button for forgotten password so in case one of the employee would forget his password he can click on the button and receive on his email his password. The email what he will get would be for example from
    [email protected] with mail body : your password is 12345.
    So is that what you meant I can do with WADL generator?

  • Migrate FROM mail.app TO windows (thunderbird or outlook)

    I'm moving back to a windows machine after using a mac (quite happily) for about a year. Please do not comment on my decision; that is not the point of this post, nor is it my wish to filter out all the criticism I will most likely receive.
    What I need to do is export my considerably large Mail library (4 accounts and years worth of archived emails) from Mail.app to an XP-compatible format. I don't yet know which email program I'll use on the PC, but I can do either Thunderbird or Outlook. or something else, if there's a better one. I'll buy a shareware migration program, if that's the best idea. I can also migrate to Thunderbird on my mac first, and then from there to the windows machine.
    thanks in advance, and I again request that replies stay on-topic.

    for mail are your accounts imap? if so, then you just need to create the imap account(s) in either thunderbird or outlook and you should be in business. if you do not have an imap account, may i suggest you get one - gmail imap is free for example - then create it in mail.app, then move your emails/mailboxes to that new gmail imap account, then go to your pc and create that gmail imap account in either thunderbird or outlook...
    for ab, may i suggest you look at plaxo: http://www.plaxo.com, and maybe set up an account with them - i think the basic one is free - once all your contacts are uploaded to plaxo, you can choose to sync them to your other client, i.e. outlook for example.
    hope this helps
