FaceTime connects and Apple Mail goes bezerk making noise

Each time I have my MacBook Pro up and running, with my Apple Mail app running and I connect via FaceTime to someone, the mail program starts making tons of nosie as if it's sending and receiving mail over and over and over and over again...
Anyone else having this issue?
Anyone know a resolution?

I have the same issue with FaceTime on my i5 iMac running 10.7.3. If I forget to quit Apple Mail before Facetime connects, the program's alerts start sounding for no apparent reason. The connection to FaceTime remains stable, and the person I am speaking with does not hear the sounds.

Hello jo90733,
I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.

Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
To start the installation, click Install.

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?

Verizon DSL install hijacking Safari and Apple Mail

This is my first post.
warning: it's long, just trying to include details
I lost all my bookmarks/folders in Safari -- after a Verizon DSL install-induced browser hi-jacking. See http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/?p=78
for a story that captures my own experience nearly to the last detail. But, unfortunately, unlike the blog author my bookmarks.plist was not a back up of my extensive bookmark collection -- it was a big zero, like some other responders to that reported.
I am just your basic user, and couldn't follow the code discussion toward the bottom of the blog, it's over my head. But, although not knowledgable, I am desperate and persistent and rarely accept "can't be done" answers, even if I don't really know what I'm doing and keep getting that same answer.
I tried all the standard suggestions so far, searching .plists, searching my hd for anything safari, anything bookmark, anything .html. Read many of the discussions on lost bookmarks, tried everything I could understand how to do.
I stumbled upon in the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari over a thousand files with crazy number/character names that all have suffix ".webbookmark" I probably did have over 1000 bookmarks. When I double click one of those .webbookmark files in that folder, a webpage springs forth in Safari, one of my former bookmarks. Also, click in the finder on one of those ~.webbookmark file and 'get info' and it shows the .html file name and bookmark name for it.
I believe this is somehow my old bookmark collection, and not a history cache, for various reasons: upon clicking, I recognize the webpage that appears and I know bookmarked anywhere from a few months ago, as well as some oldies, but have not visited recently. Random spot checking seems like sites I recently visited but did not bookmark are not showing up.
Would not be fun to double click every one of the 1000+ .webbookmark files in the metadata/Safari to open the page it represents and then "add bookmark" in Safari, to restore my bookmarks. Is there some automatic way of doing that? Am I not understanding the metadata folders enough and have tricked myself into believing they are my real bookmarks and not history or useless stuff. It's totally possible my ignorant forays and fleeting glimpses (but not, out of the corner of my eye....) are fool's gold.
Can someone let me know whether this is worth pursuing, and if so, how, and if so how so in plain terms because of my limited knowledge and floundering around without understanding what I'm doing and what it means.
I know, I know, I should have backed up before I did the *&^@! install, I should back up before I do anything, and do it regularly anyway. Don't laugh too hard now, but get this, when I did back up before, I didn't know what I was doing and just backed up "documents" folder (see, told you I was ignorant; but, older and wiser now...) But I had no idea something like connecting DSL would screw up my browser (and my apple mail -- that's a different awful story too, still unresolved) and who knows what else.
No, I have not used another browser since early 2005, and wasn't as 'bookmark crazy' then as I've been the last few years (or my life wasn't as complicated then and I didn't need to bookmark a lot of important, and I mean important, as well as obscure sites, that I don't need on a daily basis, but do need, but don't want to search through thousands of google hits to find the right one, when I realize I need it again...). Yes, sure, i will salvage what I can from IE and Netscape although they're way incomplete and frozen in time of simpler days.
A thousand curses upon evil Verizon DSL provider who thinks browser/mail/etc. hi-jacking is fun and smart PR. After this disaster, do they really think I'm enthusiastically telling everyone to use them?
I will appreciate any help. (and it's understood if the real answer is "can't be done;" worth trying here though) Just point me to the right discussion if this has already been attended to.
Thanks!

Hi Starman and Rachel, many thanks for replying, although I was praying someone was going to hand me the magic bullet! Nonetheless, it was useful you confirmed my suspicion that the mysterious metadata cache I stumbled upon while floundering around in desperation, did have some bookmark information for me, but also, unfortunately, that there was no quick and easy way to transform it back into a bookmark list, or know whether it really has what I need. Rats. Seemed worth asking the experts though, and it was.
Starman -- yes, in 2005 I used IE and Netscape, so I was able to salvage bookmarks from there, but unfortunately since 2005 my life became extremely complicated and the most important bookmarks are from that lost window of time. (Why didn't Verizon trash those browsers and bookmarks too, or instead of, Safari? Figures. They somehow just knew how to go straight for the jugular.)
Rachel, thanks for the suggestion about using BBEdit, etc., but I'm too amateur to know what those are or how to use them, but if I did, it didn't sound like it would necessarily be easy or a guaranteed success.
The IT helpdesk at the university I work for mulled it over and they too told me basically what you two did -- no obvious solution; some custom scripting might be able to do something, but that was beyond the scope of their help services.
So... looks like I am just going to have to open that metadata cache folder and start clicking and bookmarking if I want to find out if it is even worth doing and restores the most important bookmarks from the past 2 years. Maybe do 20 a day or something when I'm brain dead anyway after work. If not, there's always plan B -- spending a lot of time googling to find lots of little obscure needles in thousands of haystacks.
Such is life.
I haven't had the strength yet to deal with what happened to my AppleMail and have resorted to using webmail. Time to search the Mail discussion groups. I've had a lot of Mail problems since I started using it 2 yrs ago and the thought of disentangling another Mail problem makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It's even more infuriating when the problem isn't even related to something kooky in Mail, or something crazy I brought on myself, it is sheerly the result of Verizon's malicious activities.
Thanks again for your help, it is wonderful when people freely and altruistically donate their time to share their knowledge, and their brainpower, to help each other.

How can I tranfer all my hotmail and yahoo contacts to ichat and apple mail?

My mother bought a new Macbook Pro and I'm trying to export all her email addresses/contacts to the apple mail and ichat.
Any clue on how to make this process more time effecient?
Thanks!

The safe "step 1," of course, is to keep an unaltered copy of the 10.4 Mail folder and plist so that if something bad happens on the new machine, you just throw out that folder and plist and try again.
The safe "step 2" is that instead of dragging the folder into the same place on the new Mac, you can copy it to a separate location, like a temporary folder in Documents, then in Apple Mail in your new Lion MBP, use File/Import Mailboxes. It will ask you where the mailboxes are, and after you point it to that folder, I'm assuming it will import and convert them to the new format and place them in the correct sub-folders. If it goes well, you can then delete the temporary copy that you made for import purposes.
The 10.4 plist might be too old since it's 3 major versions later; you can try putting it in the Preferences folder, but it seems safer to note all the settings in 10.4 and re-enter them from scratch.

MarkSpace Fliq notes import to iPhone Notes and Apple Mail Notes – how to

A while ago I used MarkSpace for Palm one time only to put all my Palm T5 notes, todo, calendar, etc. into iCal and MarkSpace Notebook. This worked fine.
Now after using MarkSpace Fliq Notes I want to stop using that and use Apple Mail’s Notes instead.
To import the MarkSpace Fliq Notes into Apple Mail’s Notes I have to import them one by one according to MarkSpace technical support. I tried this and it works fine. However, I have thousands of notes.
I presume I could make an Automator or Applescript that will do this for me.
But I have never used these functions.
Would someone(s) be kind enough to tell me how to do this in simple terms and list the actual “code” in this forum topic?

I have MobileMe, .Mac to me, and thought it would sync everything through there but alas it doesn't.
This is what I had to do...
On the iPhone, sync it your iTunes on your Mac via the wire. Since I have everything sync (Contacts, Bookmarks, etc) through MobileMe and don't want duplicates I don't usually sync anything but Music/Movies through the wire sync. Once your device shows up in iTunes, click on it and under one of the tabs (I think it is the second one and right now I am away from my Mac using Windooze) towards the bottom it asks to sync Notes. Don't go the advanced section below that because there is a Notes checkbox there but I did not click on that. Force a sync. You will notice that your Notes in Mail and now on iPhone match. Half way there.
Now "eject" your iPhone and plug in your iPad. Do basically everything from above, I just have it sync the Notes on the second tab as I don't want duplicates. On I force the Sync, all of the notes on the iPhone/iMac/iPad where all the same! I just wish Notes would sync through MobileMe! It would make it SOOOOOOO MUCH EASIER. ARE YOU LISTENING APPLE!!! Now if you have Notes on your iPad you want on the iPhone, you are going to have to go back and re-sync again with your iPhone.
Let me know if that does or doesn't help, later when I amd at my Mac I will post what exactly tab and section. I spent most of yesterday trying to find an solution and this was the best I could come up with. I found a lot of Notes articles on the iPhone and syncing; none said MobileMe would do it. Kind of ***** as we pay a lot of MobileMe!

Thunderbird/Win and Apple Mail/Mac Odd Behaviour

I'm a Mac ultra-newbie, and I seem to have an odd problem.
I've been using Thunderbird for Windows (ver 3.1 under WinXP SP3), and just acquired a MacBook (OS X, 10.6.4) . After setting up my account in Apple Mail, I noticed that messages downloaded to TB for Windows would not download to Apple Mail, and messages dl'd to Apple Mail would not dl to TB for Windows. Both programs are set to leave messages on the server. When I check the account with webmail (Firefox, all the messages are there.
This seems very strange to me. Again, I'm a Mac ultra-newbie, so maybe there is something obvious I'm missing...
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, my inbox on my mail server is only 45MB, and I get about 100KB of email a day, but my mail app is somehow transferring 20TB a month to my mail server!!!! It all happens in the background so I don't even notice it going on.
I'm about to get kicked off my host. APPLE??? what the heck is going on?

Vonage email notifications and Apple Mail client

Vonage provides a very nice feature in which, as soon as someone leaves a voice mail message, Vonage sends out an email notification to up to five different email addresses, in addition to sending a text message to a cell phone alerting you that someone has left you a voice message on your Vonage phone. Besides getting just a text-based email notification, you can also opt to have Vonage attach a .WAV file to the email it sends to those email accounts you list in your account settings page on the Vonage web site. I think this is a great feature, because I have my iPhone set up to receive the text message, and I also configured my email accounts to receive the email notifications together with the attached .WAV file, so I can listen to the recorded voice mail messages right on the iPhone, without having to dial in to a Vonage number, or go to the Vonage web site to listen to the voice mail via a computer.
While the Vonage email notifications with the attached .WAV files arrive just fine in my mac.com and my aol.com email accounts, those same email messages are NOT being sent to my the roadrunner.com email account provided by Time-Warner cable, my Internet Service Provider.
When I brought this matter up the tech support people at Vonage, they theorized that the roadunner server might be blocking receipt of the emails sent by the Vonage server. However, the problem does not seem to be related to roadrunner.com, because those email messages actually do reside on the roadrunner server. I can see them all right, but only if I use a browser and check my messages via their Web Mail application. For some mysterious reason, my Apple Mail client is NOT receiving those messages, and I have no clue why that would be so.
Does anybody know what is going on here? Shouldn't Apple Mail be able to retrieve all the messages on the roadruner server? What could prevent Apple Mail from being able to do that? And, is there anything I can do to make those email notifications —with their attached .WAV files—show up in my Inbox in Apple Mail?
Since I thankfully receiving those email notifications at my mac.com and my aol.com accounts, this is not a mission-critical issue for me. It is merely one of one technical curiosity.
bowlerboy

To close out this thread, about all I can say is that the issue does not seem to be related to Apple software or to my Internet Service Provider. It is a Vonage issue that can only be fixed by calling Vonage tech support and getting their programmer/technicians to do whatever it is that they to do on their end to configure their Vonage email notifications to function correctly. If something sneezes, as it did in regards to my account, then Vonage tech support is the first place to call.
I'll consider this issue "answered" now.
