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.

Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?

I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts. I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't. The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number. Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.

I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email. I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

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.

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.

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..

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.

10.6.7, hardware failure but the hard drive is intact. I can access the hard drive via Linux. Need to get mail from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.

I need to know a couple of things, but y'all may not have all the answers I need.
First, I need to know how to retrieve the mail files from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004. I don't know if this is a valid asusmption, but in my experience with Windows, I know that Outlook keeps everything in a single monolithic .PST file. Is this the case with either Mail.app or with Entourage?
Second, I need to know how to access said mail files in a Linux mail app. The mail from Mail.app is more important than that from Entourage, so it has to take priority. Will I need some sort of converter program, or is there enough similarity between Mail.app and one of the Linux mail applications that I can simply import it? (BTW, I'm running Ubuntu Linux 11.04 on my Linux netbook. I wish there was some way I could get Snow Leopard on here.)
Any advice on any of this problem will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

I have it running on one of my single core netbooks.
WIth your other problem, just borrow a Mac temporariy, drag a enclosure to a Apple Store and use one of theirs, they don't mind as they have Deep Freeze installed on all their machines so changes don't stick upon rebooting.

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

Syncing To-Dos from Mail.app

Is anything special required to get the ToDos to synch from Mail.app with the iCal server?
For example, I can create ToDos, but they're not showing up on my iCal.app.
I have an entry in iCal that shows "IMAP" and under it, a calendar for my ToDos, but none of the actual ToDos show up in there.
It seems to me that there is some communication going on between my iCal.app, and my IMAP server because I can change the name of the calendar in iCal, and that also changes it in my Mail.app, so I'm not sure why the actual events (ToDos) are not showing up.

You need a third party app:

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.

Sending mail from mail.app using multiple email addresses?

I'm familiar with the strategy of going into the account settings and putting in another email separated by a comma. That works great and i've had much success doing that. The problem is when I compose a NEW message, it defaults to my...well...default email address. But when I reply to a previous message it gives me the option of picking and it works. When I compose a new email it also gives me the option of picking but it always defaults back to the original one. There is a setting in the compose section of the preferences that lets you pick what email you want it defaulting to. The problem here is that the dropdown box that lets me select my email only works when i'm replying, not composing. Which is a big problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Could you confirm what you mean by true alias? I'm not familiar with that you mean. Currently (to recap) i have multiple accounts linked to my gmail account (all gmail accounts) and i have it set up so i can pick the email address i want to use to send an email online in gmail. After setting up IMAP (not POP) i put in "[email protected], [email protected]" in the account settings which gives me the drop down box and allows me to select which email address i want to sent messages from within mail.app. Now i've sent multiple messages to friends to test this, and here are my results. When responding to an email if i select either of the drop down options it will send from that selected address. When composing an e-mail, even if i pick the options, it will default to my first e-mail address.
It just won't let me pick the one i want to send from when i'm composing a new message, but it will let me choose when i reply to an email. sort of a strange occurrence. I know there is an option under "compose" in the preferences that let me choose the DEFAULT e-mail, but i'm assuming that just picks the first e-mail to show up in the drop down. I'm just not sure why it only works when replying, not replying AND composing.
