it seems to be broken with "noatime" set.
Apparently it works if you use the maildir folder format.

There is also some issue with the "noatime" flag for mounting filesystems (most often used on laptops). [...] another option is to use the MaildirFormat.

  • I need a new mail client for MS Exchange Mail- Entourage is slow

    Does anyone know if there is a mail client for Mac that can access MS Exhange Server mail? I am running MS Office Entourage 04 on a MacBook Pro with 2GB RAM (max). Entourage will work fine (using Rosetta) but occasionally hangs and is sluggish. If I can type faster than a computer thinks there is a problem (my typing is bad).

    Aside from Apple's own Mail application, and it's limited support for Exchange servers, I don't think there are any other apps...

  • HT2506 How to set outlook as the default mail client for Preview

    When I try to us Preview to email PDFs the Apple Mail client is the default mail client that opens. I use Lion and would like to set Outlook as my default. Does anyone know how to do this? It has been suggested that you click command-P, select PDF and add Outlook there but there are no options to do this. I am stuck and would like some help. I am using outlook:mac2011 version 14.1.4 and Preview 5.5.1
    Cheers

    I did not find a way to change the target application for the "New Email with Attchment" service for files and folders. However, you can follow this instruction here to create ANOTHER service, that will use Outlook: http://www.officeformachelp.com/2010/11/create-a-service-to-attach-files-to-a-ne w-outlook-for-mac-mail-message/

  • Mail Nags for POP Password; Please Fix It

    At first it only happened on my G5 iMac, now it has begun to happen on my MacBook Pro:
    Mail can't find the password for the POP3 account in the keychain and keeps nagging me for it. This is really getting annoying. On the G5 iMac, I tried all the remedies for fixing the keychain. However, there is no other problem with the keychain, and beyond that, there is no reason for Mail to use the keychain: the password is in the account settings!
    I have concluded that this is a bug that impairs the value and usability of Mail, and that it needs to be fixed pronto. Would an Apple employee please respond vaguely to this post, then light a fire under someone to fix this in a software update?
    iMac G5 and MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Ken,
    I see this often too, it may be caused by interfering requests when you have several accounts on line. What you see is not the normal Keychain Opening password request, I assume, but a separate request from inside Mail. For dark reasons, this does not relate well to keychain.
    Next time this happens, just press cancel when requested for the password, and press the online/offline button (you can add this one on your Mail toolbar) and do a check mail, it should now work again.

    Can't find any reason for the failure (even though my laptop and desktop both are having the same problem and both worked fine on friday!).
    I looked at Thunderbird, but that doesn't support Exchange servers.

  • How to change the default mail server??? Please help.

    I need to change the default mail server to my yahoo account. When I had my PC this was easy but I cannot figgure it out on the MAC. I am in China and I need to inform my insurance company of some information or they are going to cancel a policy. When I go to their site for email contact what pops up is the apple email, which I do not have an account for and ofcourse does not work. Their email address does not show and I cannot find it anywhere so I need to change the default to my yahoo account. On my PC this was easy and when I went to a site that had a contact but no email address, my yahoo account would come up. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I really need to do this fast as the letter I got took some time to get here and I just returned from some field work so I have about 2 or 3 days to get the information to them. Thank you.

    John,
    This does not demonstrate anything for me, since it brings up a Compose window for Mail, with my preferred account as the From address. This happens whether I access with Safari, or with Firefox.
    The point that I am trying to make, is that in OSX, there is no way to have web mail access become the default mail method -- it only works with a true mail client, for POP, IMAP or .mac access on your Desktop.
    If you have the type of yahoo account that can be setup for POP access with Mail, then when you click, you can choose your yahoo address as the From address to send from.
    Of course you can insert the address in a new message with your Yahoo web mail, but I have understood you to want to have the message start containing the info from one of the pages on the site?
    See the discussion at the following link, for setting up a Yahoo account in Mail:

  • Forms 6i, open default mail client and add attachment to message

    Hi,
    I would like to use some functionality in my forms application. I want call some action, that opens default mail client in windows platform and add some attachment to message. I want to do this for my reports. I am exporting reports to PDF files. I am using oracle forms / reports 6.0.8.12.1 version. And I cant use build-in PDF export functionality, because exported PDF files are in old PDF version and I have problem with Czech charakters. So I am using my own virtual PDF printer for printing reports. A now I would like to send report as mail attachment. I know that there is this functionality in report preview. When I click button with letter image (showed on screenshot at http://img20.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00067_screen_122_899lo.JPG) the default mail client is opened in this is created new messages with report (eps) in attachment.
    That is what i need. Only open default mail client and add own attachment to message.
    I found only one solution for Outlook, but I need open default mail client (for example Mozilla Thunderbird etc.)
    Can You help me? Or send some solution how it is solved in report previewer?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    metalink Note 47498.1 "Programmatically Sending a Fax/Email via Microsoft Exchange" may be a good documentation for you. Have a look in there.

  • Creating Folders in Mail Client

    I've been using Apple's Mail client for 5 years now and have my Gmail, Mobileme, and work email set up. I have had no problem creating folders (mailboxes) within these accounts. I recently added another email address which was set up through godaddy.com. When I go to create a new folder (mailbox) I am not able to select that account in which to create the new folder. I can select from any of the other accounts or just create the folder on my mac (which I don't do for obvious mobility reasons). Little help?

    you can only create mailboxes in IMAP accounts. if this account is POP then you can not add mailboxes to it. POP only downloads yoiur mail from the server and you can not put any messages back on the server with a POP account so a server side mailbox in a POP account is impossible to make.

  • What means the warning when you open mail app for ...

    Hi,
    Anyone knows what does the text that appears in the screen when you open applications, like the mail client for the first time?
    The text is the following (among other text):
    "Nokia identifies your phone number, IMEI and network in order to provide you with a rich experience"
    What the h... means this?
    In my first contact with the phone with "Nokia PC Suite" I found that it sends to Nokia servers the IMEI and other phone data (who knows what for). Does it menas that when you use the default mail cilent, it sends data to Nokia? What it does for? Because I wouldn't like at all that the application sends any data, anywhere, if I decide to use the application.
    I don't know why there is no more information in any place, even support page, even the ... sad manual (that doesn't explain anything about a lot of options)...
    Thanks for any information, regards.
    Solved!

    I see, thanks for all your advices.
    I'm in Spain, but, as I said, it is a second hand device (actually I'm the third hand). Maybe the first owner bought somewhere in Europe, maybe to Amazon.de (very popular place to buy from Spain as it is cheaper than Amazon.es, or before even existed Amazon.es that arrived to Spain only a year back or so; or maybe it was in holidays around Europe; at least, I don't know the exact origin of the device).
    Indeed one thing different is that the paper manuals comming in the box aren't in spanish, they are in german, french and italian (all surrounding Switzerland, indeed).
    About the last phrase, I think I won't hassle myself in pay for a change of the product code and be able to update. That, by the way, the nearest Nokia Care is quite far from my place and if  I choose doing by any kind of RMA, the ultra-expensive delivery costs in Spain, don't make me feel like doing either.
    Said this, thanks for all your advices again
    I'll end testing for myself if the mail application does "what it shouldn't do", and I'll decide if use it or not. Probably not, but I'll just test to see with my eyes
    Thanks, regards.

  • Thunderbird as mail client

    Hello,
    Can you configured Mozilla Thunderbird (2.x) to be the default mail client for iPhoto '09?
    Information that I have found (from 2003) suggested Thunderbird was not AppleScript friendly and thus not supported by iPhoto. I hope to get up-to-date information regarding this.
    Thanks!

    A Thunderbird still isn’t scriptable, it’s still not possible. This hook is built on a series of AppleScripts.

  • Secure exchange client for iPhone

    Hi All,
    Our company is about to go from Lotus Notes to Exchange and I'm looking for a mail client for the iPhone/iPad that fulfills the following crieria:
    1) Needs to be able to be wiped remotely
    2) Read-Only access for attachments
    3) Receive emails via Push
    We will use Touchdown (Nitrodesk) for Android devices, but noticed that it does not Push on iDevices.
    Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
    Thanks for reading

    The mail app should suffice, though I'm confused as to what you mean when you say "Read-Only access for attachments".  That's not a feature of Exchange, much less a client for Exchange...

  • Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run ...

    Lync 2013 generates repeated messages stating “Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.”. Events that
    seem to generate messages is disconnecting and re-connecting to a network but it also happens randomly and the messages will stack up during a working day. Everything seem to work OK but it is an annoyance.  The computer is upgraded (uninstalled first)
    from Office 2013 ProPlus to Office 365 ProPlus. Outlook (Desktop) is default mail client. 64-bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise, 64-bit Office (both before upgrade and after).  
    (Links removed to remediations I've tried)
    Made no difference what so ever and the messages continue. What's next? 
    I posted the above to the Office 2013 forum (unfortunately I'm not allowed yet to post a link to that posting) but due to the fact that the computer affected by this is a networked domain computer I've been redirected to this group instead.  I
    was asked some additional questions ing the other forum regarding the problem: 
    Are you able to send mails from other applications like Word or Excel?
    NO
    Is the PC connected to any Domain/Server? YES
    Is this an issue with one PC only. NO - affects all computers that once had Office 2013 Pro Plus installed and now has Office 365 Pro Plus (Originally I posted this question in the Office 365 community but was directed to first the Office
    2013 forum and now this forum)
    Right click on any file and Click on Send to-> Mail Recipient and check if you are able to send mails using Outlook.
    NO
    Also check if the Lync add-in is enabled in Outlook.
    Start Outlook
    Click the File tab.
    Go to Options.
    Click Add-ins.
    Check if the Lync add-in is enabled. YES
    My last posting in the other forum contained the following additional information regarding our problem: 
    As far as we can see installing 32-bit Office 365 Pro Plus using click to run makes no difference. 
    We do not send any mails from Lync, Lync is however the process that generates the message most frequently (as Lync seem to react upon network events).
    Other processes that have Outlook plugins may also be the parent of the message popup (third party applications). 
    Yes the Lync add-in is enabled. Lync functionality in/from Outlook seem unaffected. 
    It is not possible to send emails from other applications (explorer, word, excel etc.) ie. right clicking and send to generates the messages and
    a follow up error message concerning lack of MAPI enabled e-mail.
