Emails showing different subject to mail headers

My mail provider is gmail via IMAP, and I connect to this via the mail application.
Until recently all was good with the world.
Now I randomly get a mismatch between the mail sender, the subject that is listed for the mail and the actual email that is shown.
To give an example. if I received two emails from the same person within a few hours, the first email would have the correct sender but either the wrong subject or email body or both and the second email would have the reverse. So the only part that mail is getting right is the sender, the rest is mismatched.
When I look in more details at the email headers via > Mail>View>Message>All Headers the correct Subject is listed in the headers but a combination of the wrong subject appearing in the preview and the wrong actual email are the manifestation of the problem.
Some additional info.
In Mail, I have multiple folders, and total mail volume is plus 6GB.
What have I done up till now to fix the problem
1. Mailbox rebuild; done multiple times, and whilst this does fix the problem for a short time, within 24 hours it reoccurs with different messages (random). Problem with this fix is its temporary and rebuilding your  mailbox multiple times is a pain.
2. Removal of account from Mail and rebuild. again this is a temporary fix and whislt this does fix the problem for a short time, within 24 hours it reoccurs with different messages (again random).
3. Total removal of the mail account from mail and deletion of all the associated mail files in the ~/Library/<user>/Maildata/V2.... folder followed by a full import of the mail from scratch. This one is a bit more interesting. The occurrence of the problem seems to be on the newest mail. With this method all mail rules/filters had also been deleted before the resync of mail, hence ruling out the filters as a possible source of the issue. But again randomly mail would be incorrectly listed with the wrong subject.
Why is this a pain, I'll add this just to get everything down on this listing.
So an email client that get one third of the tasks it meant to handle isn't really an email client at all, its a mail transformer and not in a good way, more of a random deceptacon kind of way and its highly infuriating. I have seen various listings about similar problems to this but mostly they seem to be solved by mailbox rebuilding of the mail indexes etc etc. These aren't permanent fixes for this problem and I would be very interested to hear if anyone has similar and has actually fixed this, or are people simply waiting for a fix in the next upgrade of mail in yosemite? or is these something more going on between mail and the interaction with gmail?
Comments welcome.

Kfir,
I guess you've implemented a mapping to create the target email ? If so, you could a feature to build the subject depending on a source message context (field value ? sender ? etc) ...
Otherwise, you may play with dir objects (intf determination for instance) to use different mappings (so diff. subjects) to create target mail (depending on sender/receiver etc) ...

  • My iPad is showing different display in Mail after new update .

    Why is my iPad showing a different display in mail . I cannot move the last mail viewed......hate it...

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (In a hotel, you can't do this.)
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • Unrelated emails with different Subjects and Recipients grouping into conversations

    Hi all,
    This problem appears well documented, and has been discussed here: https://discussions.apple.com/create-account.jspa
    It's only a matter of time until someone in our company misses an email or sends the wrong thread to a customer.
    Does anyone know if Apple have verified the issue and are working on it? Does anyone have a solution? By solution I don't mean a way around it like unselecting View>Organise By Conversation, I mean a fix.
    If Apple cannot fix this we may need to stop using Mac Mail completely. We are using an IMAP Google account so have plenty of options.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi all,
    I believe I have found a workable way around this problem, that I haven't found as a solution anywhere else!
    Select the email that has grouped various Subjects/Conversations etc into one thread, click View in the toolbar at the top, and select 'Hide related messages'. It removes all the incorrectly grouped emails for that conversation. I have checked to see if this has a knock on effect of hiding the emails elsewhere/their individual folders, and it doesn't. They are still present - hiding them from one conversation does not hide or delete them elsewhere.
    Still irritating you have to do this each time Mac Mail groups a message, and this is still a bug which needs fixing.
    Let me know if this works for you too.
    Cheers,
    Sam

  • After syncing my phone my email shows differently...It showed all of my emails as unread. Now it shows how many emails I have withthe red oval beside the envelope icon rather than just the new ones. How do I get it to go back to only showing new emails?

    After syncing my phone my emails all showed up as unread. Even after reading them again! I still get the # of total emails in the red oval beside the envelope app picture. It used to only show the number of NEW emails. How do I get it to go back to that?? HELP!

    Is there a setting in about:config that controls the length of the alltabs list? I would look for such a thing, and change the setting if it is there. A setting of -1 should make it limitless.

  • Configure: two email addresses in one family : mail both

    I have had some annoyance when working with mail/address book and how they handle couples or families with multiple email addresses in one contact card.
    It may be that I am not using it properly.
    For instance:
    Contact: Matthew and Amy Smith
    email addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]
    When I type in matthew in Mail.app I am only allowed to choose one, lets say its mine. I then have to retype matthew in order to go to find amy's email address, and then in the TO: field both contacts say "Matthew Smith".
    I would think there is a better way to handle this than to record EVERYONE seperately in a family?
    Any thoughts would be extremely helpful,
    Thanks,
    Matthew

    Here is how I do it.
    It is a little bit of a hack, but it works for me.
    1) Create an 'Organization' card for the family or entity.
    2) Leave the first and last name fields blank.
    3) Fill in the company name in a way so you can find it and
    so it will alphabitize nicely. e.g. "Smiths, John and Sue"
    4) Create email fields of the form:
    John Smith <[email protected]>
    5) Enter the 'name' part of the address, e.g. 'John Smith'
    in the address fields of the email.
    6) Or, when you call up the address applet you can go to the entry
    and see all the alternative addresses.
    They will each show up in the mail headers as addresses to:
    Name <email_address>
    [u]Note[/u]: You [b]must[/b] leave both the 'first' and 'last' name fields blank.
    (The name field is the N:;;;; line ion the vCard file.)
    If you fill them in then when adding one of the email addresses, it will list
    the 'first last' name fields as the name of the person being addressed
    instead of the individual names in the email address field.
    Here is a vcard of my template.
    Paste it into a text file, save it as template.vcf ,
    then double click it into your addressbook.
    It will add a template to the addressbook so you can see exactly what I mean.

  • Why Do 1000s of Emails Show Up?

    Hi;
    Since updating my iPhone 4S to iOS7, the number of emails showing up on my Mail badge is at an incredibly high number (3,975 today). Is there or will there be a fix for this soon?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem and it is killing me. Apple store technicians were not able to help. This is a data protection that is affecting my privacy. If this issue cannot solved then I will not be able to send confidential emails. It *****.

  • Mail: How To Get Mail Headers To Show "Read"

    How can I get the mail headers to "gray" out or be colored when they've been read? Right now, ALL messages in the list are bold black. Once I read an email, it still shows bold and black. I need some sort of identification to show what is NEW and what HAS BEEN READ.
    I've been using Outlook, which grays out read messages.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

    sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

    Is there a way to add this automatically?
    For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
    To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".

  • When in mail, i would like to move emails to different folders other than the inbox, sent and trash can a folder be created?

    When in mail i would like to move my emails to a different folder on mail account other than the inbox, sent and trash options, can i  create a new folder?

    The suggestion above is for MailBoxes on the Mac in the mail app and have nothing at all to do with the iPad. I think that you are asking about the iPad mail app.
    You need to have an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes on the iPad.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • Email in gmail doesn't show up in mac mail app

    I was looking for a specific email and searched the mail app by date and keywords and couldn't find it. Then I went to gmail on chrome and searched for it using the same keywords and found it. Why doesn't it show up in the mail app?

    Hello. I got a similar issue. My iTunes 9 and my iPhone 3GS 3.1 works fine, they sync and so on. I got tethering service from my carrier and it worked fine using USB and Bluetooth with my MacBook. I don't know what happened but now it works only with Bluetooth. The ethernet adapter ˜Ethernet Adapter (enX)" - as shown in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756 - is missing.
    I can't find a way to recreate that iPhone adapter. When I try to tether thru USB nothing happens (no blue bar in iPhone), no adapter is recognized/created. When I tether thru Bluetooth everything works fine.
    Does anyone know how to reset iPhone ethernet config in Mac OS? Thank you.

    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. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • How to get Mail 8.1 to forward an email based on Subject line?

    I am using Mail 8.1 under MacOSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    I would like to create a rule that takes all mail received into a specific Mailbox and send or forward it to an email address which forms the Subject line of that email, changing the Subject line of the outgoing email to "Response Received".
    What is the easiest way to do this?

    You first need to setup iCloud and then setup an iCloud email account. Either that or you can set up an IMAP email account with your email provider. Your current email is probably a POP3 account, it may be able to convert it to IMAP but you would need to check with your email provider first.

  • My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...
