Formatting for mail forwarded by Mac mail to Gmail

I normally use Gmail. When certain people who use OSX Mail forward emails to me, the formatting is 'all over the place', especially if a picture is concerned - the picture arrives embedded and full width, even if it was an attachment in the first place. Is there a preference setting somewhere in Mail that ensures attachments stay as attachments and the formatting is retained? Or is it an incompatability between OSX Mail and Gmail?
Thanks

"Mac OS X (10.4.1)"
First off, you should update your OS to 10.4.11, Mail and install all the updates pertaining to your computer through Software Update. More than likely you are using an outdated version of Mail.
The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3.

  • Firefox has stopped forwarding my mail to my Mac Mail.

    I had to change my Firefox password lately, so that it does not match my Mac Mail password. Then Firefox stopped forwarding my mail to my Mac Mail box.

    Also make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • Forwarding from Mac mail to iPhone images not displaying

    When Forwarding from my iMac mail to my iPhone, the images are not displaying on the iPhone.
    If I save the image from the email I wish to forward, in mac mail, then attach it to a new email and send it to the iPhone it displays perfectly!
    Any ideas as to why? Maybe another bug?

    I tried that. It does not work for me. I get a few books to appear from iTunes into iBooks. Getting them into iBooks on the Mac has never been the problem There are lots of way to do that. The problem is, they STILL not not sync with my iPad. And now they are gone from iTunes so i am not sure what is going to happen the next time I try to sync the iPad with iTunes. Luckily I have a Time Capsule backup so I can restore if I have to.
    I guess the bottom line, based on several other threads, is the only solution is to kill iBooks, move it to an obscure corner of your Launch Pad (since you can't totally delete it) and go buy an third party app that will work. Apple has release several updates to Mavericks, and so far there is nothing on the horizon about restoring any of the sync ability that Mavericks took away - iTunes sync wirelessly with the iPad and iPhone, or, like here, iBooks syncing across Apple platforms.

  • For the last 4 months I can not send any mail from my mac mail account. It will receive but not send. I have to use my Yahoo or Gmail account to send anything. When I forward or try to send a new email, a box wants my password. IT won't take my password.

    A box comes up after I try and send an email wanting my password. I put the password in, the box disappers, then shows up again empty wanting my password. The same password is used to access Apple but Mac Mail will not accept it. It just stop sending about four months ago.

    It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website.  In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment.  I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address.  Check this article out from Gigaom.

  • Copy formatted text from Pages into Mac Mail loses formatting

    Hi,
    I have a document template I use in Pages that eventually gets copied into an email for sending (rather than attached, it's the actual email body).
    Issue is, when I copy from Pages into Mac Mail, the formatting is horrible.
    The closest I have to a workaround, though still not 100% (just way better) is to Export the Pages file to Word format, open the document in Word, copy the text there and paste it into Mac Mail.
    It can't be this awkward, can it?
    Thanks!

    Couple of options:
    Use command shift 4 and draw around the table with the mouse curser ~ a png picture of your table will be on your desktop ~ use attach in mail and tick send windows friendly attachments too.
    You could also save Numbers as pdf ( Under the print option) and attach that instead.
    No doubt there are other ways.

  • Trying for months: Issues accessing .Mac mail from desktop Mail app

    I have a few Macs (eMac, iMac G5, 2-iMac G3s...). User since 85.
    I signed up for .Mac family pack. Gave email accounts to my family members. .Mac mail can only be retrieved from ONE (iMac G3) of the Macs. The others register that there are X number of .Mac emails in the inbox, but when one clicks on the box, the pane that should display the list of emails is blank. Every few minutes, the chime shows the same X number of emails has arrived in the inbox, starting the cycle all over again.
    I have check, double and triple checked the Mail configuration for each of these Macs and see no difference. In fact, when you login to .Mac it appears to configure the Mail account automatically.
    The router settings for these Macs (like port forwarding, etc.) is identical, too.
    Thanks for your help

    From Mail Help:
    "Setting up your email accounts
    The first time you open Mail, it automatically sets up email accounts for you using the information from the .Mac pane of System Preferences and the Mail Setup Assistant. If no information is found, Mail guides you through the process of setting up a new account. You can create additional accounts at any time.
    If you switch to Mail from another email application, you need to enter the account information from the other application in Mail. Before you begin, view the information in the other application, and write down the names of the incoming and outgoing mail servers, your account name and password, and whether it is a POP or IMAP account. If you have multiple accounts, get the information for each account.
    To add an account:
    Choose File > Add Account.
    Choose your account type, such as POP or IMAP, from the Account Type pop-up menu and enter the information, based on your account type. If you aren't sure about some of the fields, check with your Internet service provider (ISP) or mail account provider.
    General information: Enter a description of the account. The description is shown in the mailbox list. If you have multiple accounts, enter something that will help you distinguish this account from others, such as "Tom's work email." You must also specify the full name to be displayed in outgoing mail, such as Tom Clark, and the email address to use in the From field when you send messages. For a .Mac account, you must enter your .Mac user name and password.
    Incoming Mail Server: Enter the server (typically a POP or IMAP server) where your email waits for you to retrieve it. For example, mail.example.com. Enter your user name and password for this mail server. If you specified an Exchange account, you must specify the Outlook Web Access Server.
    Outgoing Mail Server: Enter the server (also known as an SMTP server) that sends your email to its destination. For example, smtp.example.com or relay.example.com. To see the server in use by each mail account, choose Edit Server List from the Outgoing Mail Server pop-up menu.
    Further define the new account you have just created. Choose Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, and select the new account in the list.
    In the Mailbox Behaviors pane, select options for storing and deleting drafts, sent mail, junk mail, and trash. The options are different for the different kinds of accounts.
    In the Advanced pane, select options to enable the account, include the account when checking for new mail, to manage offline viewing, and other options.
    A .Mac account is an IMAP account provided as part of Apple's .Mac services. To sign up for a .Mac account, open the .Mac pane of System Preferences and click Sign Up. You can also use a web browser to send and receive email with a .Mac account.
    An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
    For IMAP accounts, when you first connect to your mail server, all your mailboxes are automatically synchronized, so that the email messages on your computer are the same as those on the server.
    To remove an account, select it in the account list and click the Delete button.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    OR:
    "About synchronizing email accounts and settings
    There are two ways you can synchronize your email accounts and settings:
    If you are using an IMAP account, all your messages remain on the server, so you can access them from multiple computers. Mail periodically synchronizes your IMAP mailboxes with those on the server, ensuring that mailboxes on your computer reflect actions taken while viewing mail on the server, such as marking messages as read, deleting messages, or moving messages between mailboxes. If "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing" (in the Advanced pane of the Accounts pane in Mail Preferences) is set to one of the options that stores copies of messages, Mail also downloads messages (and attachments, if that option is selected) from the server to your computer. Before using an IMAP account offline, synchronize the account so you know you're working offline with up-to-date messages.
    If you have a .Mac account, you can use .Mac Sync to synchronize your account settings and your rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes across all of your Mac OS X x10.4 computers. To become a .Mac member, open System Preferences, click .Mac, and click the Learn More button. For more information about .Mac, visit the .Mac website at www.apple.com/dotmac/.

  • Anyway to have ichat IM's forwarded to .mac mail?

    alright my ? is that i use my .mac mail account for ichat and also on the iphone mail. if i am offline on ichat can i have those IM's forwarded to my e-mail so that i still will recieve them? thanks for the help.

    Is there anyway I can change the default state of three of the partitions to 'unmounted'?
    It's actually pretty easy to do with the fstab-based method I mentioned in my reply in the How? Creating 2 Partitions, 1 Automount & 1 Manual Mount topic in this forum.
    I use it to prevent a second partition on my internal HD from mounting at startup, but it should work for externals too. I'm not entirely sure what would happen if you just sleep the MBP, but I think it should work the same way, if I understand what the fstab & diskarbitrationd man pages say.

  • Gmail forwarding to Mac Mail

    I just set up my account to have my gmail account in my Mac Mail.
    I am new to macs altogether so my question might have an obvious answer. When I read new mail through Mac Mail, it is marked as read. However, when I then log into my gmail account directly online, the same email that had been read on Mac Mail is marked as new on gmail.
    Is there a way to have an email be marked as read in gmail if it has been read in Mac Mail, and vice a versa? Similarly, if I delete an email in Mac Mail, is there a way to have the email be deleted from my gmail?

    Yes - you need to set your GMail up as IMAP, not POP. Make sure that you have IMAP enabled in your GMail's webmail (the same place where you enabled POP), and then delete and re-create your account as an IMAP version. You'll need to use the GMail server settings - eg "imap.gmail.com" for both incoming and outgoing servers. Check these articles carefully:

  • For the past day or 2 mail sent from .Mac Mail is not being delivered.

    I have been using .Mac Mail and Apple Mail application on my computer for about 10 months. The past 2 days when I go to .Mac Mail online, compose an e-mail, click on send, get the message that says, "Your message has been sent." The e-mail is also in my Sent folder but the e-mail message is not delivered. I sent an e-mail this way to my Hotmail account, my Yahoo account and even to myself at my .Mac Mail account and none of them were delivered. I tried several times at different times and I just tried again now. Still no good. They never went to any of the inboxes even hours later. Is there something wrong with the outgoing .Mac Mail sever? Or what else can it be?

    You didn't say what troubleshooting you did after the firmware update and problem...
    To get started...
    Verify your drive with Disk Utility.
    Repair permissions with Disk Utility (probably not the issue, but won't hurt)
    Try:
    mailbfr -o
    mailbfr -f
    If you are still stuck, you'll need to post more detail about your configuration, hopefully more log detail and the contents of imapd.conf and the output of postconf -n

  • Rules for exchange folders in mac mail are gone at regular intervals

    I have some problems with mac mail and my exchange account.
    At regular intervals my mail doesn't show my mails in my mail folders. Than I have to restart mail and those mails are back again. But then I have to set destination folders for each rule and for each shortcut in mail again.

    Why would I go to the Microsoft Community when I'm asking specifically for an answer to how much is left to download in my mail account in the Mac Mail App Officially from Apple?
    To speed things up, where's the "Items downloading, items remaining, and total items in Mailbox" for iCloud Accounts in Apple's Offical Mail Mac App?

  • What is the process for adding an AOL mail account into Mac Mail?

    Frustrating.
    All I want to do is add another AOL mailbox account into my Mac mail.
    No threads could I find, and nothing on Google either. But I did do it once before as I have my primary AOL mail account dumping into my Mac mail.
    If I go into File> Import Mailboxes there is NOTHING that says AOL in to menu! I mean it should be the first or second choice considering how many people use AOL mail.
    A little help for a URL that can tell me what to doe in Leopard to bring in another AOL mail account?
    Thanks,

    Are you trying to create the account in Mail or import mailboxes? Doing what you did won't create an account, it'll just try to import a mailbox. To create an AOL account in Mail, see:

  • Creating folders for "To Do" in mac mail

    How do I create folders for "To Do's" in mail? I have multiple "To Do's" and they can get a bit confusing and difficult to shuffle through. I can't for the life of me figure out how to place them into folders. I can place individual "Notes" into folders but not "To Do's"

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As far as I know you can't move To Do's to different folders. Nevertheless, where a specific To Do is stored depends on where you've created it. If you are using an IMAP email-account and have it selected in the sidebar of Apple Mail when clicking on the To Do button of Mail, the To Do will be created and stored in the folder "Apple Mail To Do" on the server. Note that at the same time a calendar, labeled after your account, will be created in iCal.
