'From' mail accounts messed up when I reply

This is strange. I have 3 email accounts. When I reply to an email and I choose "From" account, the accounts have garbage lines next to the account and there are a dozen of them.. for example -
Acccount name <lines of garbage sentences here etc etc>
So if I reply the complete mail account above is seen by the recipient with lines of useless text next to my name. I trashed prefs and the container file but no use.
Any ideas?

Maybe delete and reset the SMTP server settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts.

I can receive an iMessage from my daughters iPad although when i reply it says she is unavailable on iMessage. If I initiate the message it will go to her email rather than her iMessage?? Can anyone assist?

I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data? Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text. Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

Cannot send emails from mail account.

Hello everyone,
I've had this problem a while, that basically when i send an email from my account it says
Cannot send message using the server xxxxxxxx
when i try other servers it still doesn't work and i get the same error message. I have other computers on which mail works from the same server, same port same password etc. so why doesn't this work.
If you can help me i will be eternally greatful as i won't have to keep jumping on someone elses computer to reply to mail.
Thank you in advance
Fred

Hello Fred.
If you’re sure your settings are exactly the same as on the computers where it works, here a couple of things that you may want to look at.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.

Mail account is crashing when I type in address field

Hope someone can help,
Having trouble with my mail account as mentioned in topic subject. Been happening for a couple of weeks, has always been stable up to now (4 yrs) but has been managed well. When I click on certain new mails it also crashes. I can reply, forward and C&P an address in but as soon as I type, it crashes. When I reply to some mails, the account name of the recipient is garbled. I think it may be an Address Book problem as today I think it has taken my iPhone 3gs out as well. I had updated the iPhone software and it went into recovery mode???? I have been able to restore my iPhone on my laptop and reinstalled system software to but problem still there.
help!!

Hi mallet head, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

Cannot retrieve email from Mail account on iCloud

SInce Tuesday, Sept 11th I have been unable to retrieve my messages on my iCloud mail account. Mail doesn't work on my MacBook Pro or any of my devices (iphone or ipad). When I try to log on to iCloud I can see my calendar and contacts, however I cannot access my mail. When I ran Connection Doctor I get the following message:
"Trying to log in to this iCloud IMAP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct. Also verify that the server supports Apple Token authentication. If it does not, choose an appropriate authentication setting in the Advanced tab of the Account preferences."
Mail continues to place this email account in an offline position moments after I click to take it online.
I've read some reports of others having this problem occur on Tuesday as well. Is this an iCloud issue? Please advise.

You can try deleting the account on your iphone and setting it up again.

Is it possible to completely remove an app from my account so that when I go on the app store it comes up with the price/free instead of install?

I want to completely remove the skype app from my apple id as im having issues with it. Thanks in advance for all help.

The problem is, when I first opened the app I accidentally clicked 'don't allow push notifications' this has stopped the app from working properly as when I receive a call or IM on Skype I am not notified unless I happen to be on the app at the time the call/IM isis recieved. I have tried to delete the app from my PC and my iPhone however when I went back to the app store it came up INSTALL instead of FREE. I figure that if I can install the app by clicking FREE will allow me to enable Push Notifications as other apps that have never been associated with my account always ask when I install them

Mail account hangs fetching mail from mail account

I have a problem that my Mail program spins continuously in only one of my mailbox accounts while fetching POP mail. If I select Stop from that account it spins continuously while waiting to stop. I have deleted mailbox accounts, removed preferences and deleted mail from web mail and all these processes help for a few times of getting mail but then the problem reoccurs. The problem is not confined to a single POP account. It bounces around between both of mine. Please send any suggestions.

Could it be an issue with the remote server? Are both accounts downloading mail from the same server?

Previous Recipients from Mail Account Not on Mac?

I have two email accounts on my iPhone but only one on my Mac. On my Mac, I see previous recipients from contacts I've emailed on my iPhone from the account that is not on my Mac. I also do not sync my iPhone to my Mac. Why does this happen and how can I disable it? The account I am getting the previous recipients from doesn't exist whatsoever on my Mac and the two accounts have no connections with each other.

One is iCloud which is on the Mac and then both the iCloud and Exchange are in my phone.

Account set incorrectly when clicking Reply

I am on a few group message lists. Previously, Thunderbird would correctly identify the address the list came to and would use that account as the sender when replying. However, now they all default to one of my three email accounts regardless of the account the email was sent to.
That email account is not the default account nor is it first in the list alphabetically. This just started recently after upgrading to version 31.4.0.
I've confirmed that I don't have the email address in question listed under Account Settings > <Account> > Reply-to Address on any account and have confirmed the address that is the default.

Okay great, I'll keep that in mind...
He doesnt use Mail to manage his emails.... if he needs access on this computer he uses safari to access his Gmail.
The issue that is really confusing me is that it doesn't happen with every email I send, and it sometimes happens with forms I fill out on a website using safari. Even when i type my email in the address field for a form, it still gets sent back to the gmail account.
I have checked that his gmail isnt still signed in on safari and made sure everything to do with his account has been removed in Mail too.
He suggested today that I delete safari's cookies, Not sure if that will have any effect on this issue though...
Thankyou for your suggestions!

Problems with attachments going corrupt from Mail in the dock when sending?

I have had my Mac G5 Tower at home now for a couple of years now and have always had a problem with sending attachments to any one from my .mac account with mail in the dock.
The error massage people would tell they were getting from the files that I attached were (The file is damaged and cold not be repaired). I also tried emailing the same attachment to my self and got the same results.
I always got around this at home by emailing the attachments via web .mac account from apple’s web site this is not an ideal solution.
Using the same .mac account and mail from the dock on my Mac at work no problems at all.
I thought by upgrading from panther to tiger that this would help, I am still having the same trouble.
Can anyone out there help.
Thanks

Thank you Justin for your response. Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been unable to log in to my forum account since the first time even though I'd verified my user name, reset the password (everything I could think of). Many hours (literally) on hold with almost every support department at Verizon hasn't resolved the login problem...so I've created a new username with my other email address. I know that creating a new account probably isn't the kosher solution, but my frustration level with Verizon phone suport on this has gone over the top as no one department seems to claim any knowledge of how to help with forum issues and passes me off to somewhere else.
I am using IE 7.0. I only have the problem when I am viewing my emails via the Verizon webmail. When I download the emails to Outlook on my desktop, there are no problems. In webmail, if I have an email showing in the preview pane that has links and I click on that email (in the preview pane), the linked website opens and I can't close it or do anything else. I can't even switch to viewing other emails in my inbox in the preview pane. I can right click on the email showing in the preview pane and select to open in a new window, but if I left click the link activates right there in the preview pane.

Bar missing from mail so can't write or reply to emails

Hi
Updated iPhone 4S the other day and am not sure if it is coincidence but in mail, the bar at the bottom of the screen that allows you to create, reply to emails etc has vanished. Able to receive emails but can't reply or forward!
Using a hotmail account which I deleted from phone and reinstalled but still no joy.
Suggestions??????
Many thanks

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

IPad 2, mails not being sent when using reply to all feature

Hi,
Under BYOD we have iPads being allowed in our office environment. We have Lotus Notes Traveler servers setup for email access.
We are facing an issue with one executive users iPad 2 in the mail app.
The issue is when user is on WIFI and uses a long signature in the iPad and does a "reply to all" to any mail the mail goes and stays in the outbox.
Single reply or composing a new mail works fine. If we remove long signature, then "reply to all" works fine.
This issue is only with Wi-Fi, on GPRS everything works fine with long signature or without.
The iPad is on iOs 6, we tried resetting and restoring the iPad but the issue still persists.
Would really appreciate if you all could help me solve his issue.'
Thanks

My mail accounts not appearing when opening Thunderbird

All has been working great with Thunderbird V31. This morning I opened the app and my various mail boxes are not showing on the left side. The downloading appears to be working fine. I can see the downloading showing up at bottom of interface.
But NO mail boxes on left side. Very mysterious. Any ideas what is happening here?

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

Replying automatically from Mail using the main account

Hello,
We have just changed domains at work and have a new e-mail address. We also still have the old address that is active. I have both accounts set up in Mail but I want it so that if people e-mail the old address when I reply it replies from the new account automatically. I know I can set this manually after clicking reply, but that is a hassle and could easily be forgotten. In Entourage this is an easy feature to implement - there is a preference "Reply using the default account" - but this feature seems to missing from Mail. Is there a workaround?
Thanks for any advice,
John

In Mail go to Mail Menu/Preferences/Accounts and enter the email address you want the replies to come in to in the Email Address field
