Grayed out "Redirect" option in Mail.app

I am wondering why I can only sometimes redirect messages, as opposed to forwarding. 
I have an email sent to me at work and I wish to redirect it, so that the sender and formatting are unchanged but I receive it at home.  Sometimes I can, but sometimes I cannot, i.e., "Message --> Redirect" is grayed out.  What is the pattern for when "Redirect" is allowed or not?

  • Grayed out view option

    I'm trying to change the color background in my Documents folder from white. I can do this in all my folders and tried using "use as defaults". Even tried from another used account. Opened Documents and choose show view options from the toolbar. The background choices is grayed out only in Documents even though it shows the color I want. This is on the 27inch iMac i5 running 10.7.2. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Well I found a solution. I tried what you suggested and had color background on another user, but didn't when I returned to original user. When I changed the arrange by to none the background selection ceased to be grayed out. If I choose arrange by name (or anything else) it goes back to white background and grayed out option again. Thanks for the input.

  • Graying out the option INITIAL SCREEN on MFBF transaction -reg

    Hi,
    We face issues with users keep on changing their initial screen of MFBF transaction where in which they encounter issues .
    for example for doing assembly backflush , some times with out knowledge they select component back flush radio button and click on the option initial screen , then for them on MFBF component backflush only selected by default .
    with thsi background if they try for processing assembly back flush back ground sessions they encounter error and then we have to analyse and find the problem with screen of MFBF
    we would like to take out the option of initial screen setting from the users
    we could not do it through any of authorizations
    any idea how to deactivate it ?
    can it be done user wise or for the whole transaction it has to be done ?
    regards,
    madhu kiran.

    hi,
    we could not find any objects to control it through authorization
    our basis personnel confirmed it
    if any authorization controlling object is there please let us know which object to be used
    or
    which user exit we have to activate which should not give any side effects to the existing business process

  • Trouble sending out email with E-mail "app"

    In order to not  paying any data usage, I called Verizon and have my data access blocked.  However, I still can receive MMS. I have no problem using wi-fi to check my  Yahoo email using the email "app" but I can't send any email out with the same app.   Please help.

    I had same issue with not being able to send emails via my Yahoo account (and no problem sending on Hotmail).  As previous post suggested, I deleted the pre-set Yahoo account, then set it up manually as POP account.  Here are the settings that worked for me, I can now send (and receive) on my Yahoo account via WiFi. 
    Incoming Host Name: pop.att.yahoo.com
    Outgoing Host Name: smtp.att.yahoo.com 
    Incoming/Outgoing User Name: Full Yahoo email address, including domain (e.g., [email protected])
    Password: Your password
    Now tap the "Advanced" tab on the upper left and set up the port #'s as follows:  
    Incoming mail port #: 995, secure connection (SSL) checked
    Outgoing mail port #: 465, secure connection (SSL) checked

  • Why is incoming mail server greyed out and unalterable and mail.app cannot get mail?

    I haven't had any iCloud mail for 3 days now. I'm in the UK. When I look at the account settings the incoming mail server shows a greyed out 'p01-imap.mail.me.com'. I've looked at Apples support pages and try as I might I can't configure it as they say I should be able to! Is there a little plist file or something somewhere I need to delete so I can get this thing working again or is it an Apple problem? The UK support pages say iCloud is working. I'm running OSX 10.7.4 on alate 2009 iMac.

    I realize that this is a double post, but the info may pertain,
    the thread is a little different and may be otherwise missed.
    Working with expresslane the issue I was bucked up
    to sr. level - they found the problem is 's changeover
    to icloud addresses has deleted my primary alternate
    but verified email addy as it had an @me suffix. 
    replaced this with @icloud but can't as of now restore
    the recent mail to that address. I'm told that despite
    my MobileMe membership, converted to iCloud, I'm
    to lose all my @me and @mac addys. I'd thought they
    were grandfathered for us but this may not be true. So,
    the issue for me has been explained, though unresolved.
    Advice: Beware, be very aware - if you have an old, and
    more pretigious, @mac addy. For now, mine still works
    but it's my ID so they may let me continue it (?).

  • I bought a 2nd hand iPod touch 5th gen. There is an iCloud account sign in but it is not verified. It's all grated out and the only thing that is not grayed out is the "check mail" what should I do to remove it and sign in my new iCloud account? pls help

    I cannot also restore the iPod touch because the 'find my iPod touch" is on but I cannot click anything. just the "check email" to verify account

    You are running into the activation lock'
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    If you can't get the previous owner to remove it from theri account
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    all you have is a thin brick. I would then return the iPod for a refund.

  • What does the "Export Mail" option in Mail app backup? Attachments?

    Does it back up everything including attachments? What about the sent messages, draft, etc?

    You can export each mailbox(folder) to another location like external drive.  It will export everything.  Later you can import them back if you like.

  • Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

    I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
    emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
    Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

    Hi,
    Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
    the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
    your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

  • Mysterious, annoying, huge mail.app problem.

    The last month the mail on my iMac has a very big problem. I am running the 10.5.6 with all the mail updates.
    Out of nowhere my Mail.app starting acting very funny. It will start the mail download process and it will indicate the number of messages and the progress. It will however keep on downloading and the indicator will keep on spinning for ever. Not all the mail is downloaded, even if leave it over night . I will try to quit and it will not. I have to force quit. And when I open it again it will re-download the the same messages again.
    1) I recovered the mail folders and the .plist files from the time-machine, but no luck.
    2) I start deleting some of the accounts but I had to delete all minus the MobileMe account.
    3) I copied the same files from my MacBook Pro and still no luck
    4) I reinstall the MacOSX (10.5.6) and imported the files my oldest backup. Still no luck.
    As you see I am out of options. I don 't know what else to do.

    Have you tried going to your server's web address to look at your inbox with a web browser? Perhaps someone has sent you a huge file that Mail is having trouble downloading. If so, you can delete it with your web-mail access.

  • IPhone mail app stopped loading new emails

    Hello,
    since two days I recognized increased Battry consumption.
    Found out that the IOS mail app is the reason for.
    Once mail launched, app says loading - the internet access circle appears and nothing happens.
    Same happens with my wife's iPhone.
    We're both on IOS 7.0.4
    I have an 4s, my wife iPhone 4.
    I have configured 3 mail accounts
    T-Online and Gmail using Exchange profile and activesync and Outlok.com IMAP.
    My wife is only using Gmail - same setup.
    Normal retart or cold restart - nothing changes, no connection/update of emails.
    Strange is that my iPAD 2 using same 3 accounts also on IOS 7.0.4 is working properly.
    Tried to delete the Gmail account - iPhone preferences stopps at deleteing account.
    No idea what this issue is cause by.
    Many thanks for any help
    Regards

  • Applescript Rules Don't Work in 10.8 Mail.app

    Very simple thing Im trying to do here. Set up a rules to run a simple growl notification script when a new mail with a vertain subject arrives. This script works perfectly file in the editor and runs file outside of the mail.app.
    Set to to run as a rule using the run actionscript option in mail.app - but it will never run.
    Why would this script run fine outside of mail.app, but not as an actionscript rule?

  • Aperture Import destination grayed out when importing from iPad

    I'm trying to import a bunch of photos from my iPad. I want to dump them all in one project in Aperture, but after selecting the iPad from the import source list, it grays out the options to select the destination. It also grays out the option to uncheck the Autosplit events. I do not want to do this import and then have to go back and merge 20 projects.  Any ideas?

    It' how Aperture works with the iPad see Aperture 3: Photos are not split into projects by date when importing from iPad as well as other threads here asking similar questions

  • Is there any ways to make Mail app show prefix and suffix in the address field?

    I apologize for any inconvenience that my poor English may cause.
    I would like to ask if there is a way to make Maill app show prefix and suffix in the address field.
    This is, in my culture, very important, especially for formal situations. When I call someone such as professors, bosses, I should put prefix after their names to show my respect. In Microsoft Outlook, there is a field called 'Display as'.
    http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/contacts/contact-address-book-options-settings/
    Therefore, I can choose how the name will be shown in my messages. For example, Prof. Kim instead of Kim. However, as far as I know, there isn't such options in Mail app. Is there any way that I can modify the way of displaying names in the address field in Mail app?

    As far as I can determine, that is only how you see the email address, not how it is sent.
    You can set up Prefixes and Suffixes in Contacts using the Add Field submenu of the Card menu:
    If you use the Edit Template... command, you can choose to always have the Prefix and Suffix show on new cards.
    However, I don't think Mail uses anything but First, Last for addressing emails.
    You can override the behavior by manually with:
    Prefix First Last Suffix <[email protected]>

  • VIPs is inactive in mail.app

    After the last update(OSX 10.10.2) VIPs is greyed  out and inactive in mail.app  and can't access the messages filed under it. However vips working on iCloud.com and iOS8.  Any ideas what might be the problem?
    Here is the screenshot:

    I think the search in mail is busted due to an upgrade issue. I couldn't search the "Entire Message" and get results. To, From and Subject worked. I saw a post here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6765153&#6765153 about re-installing leopard. I did a "Preserve Network and Users install, see here for docs http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 This finally worked where nothing else did. It's a real P.I.T.A. but it worked. I would be interested to know if all the search problems have been with upgrade installs.

  • Show remote images in Mail.app

    I have remote images in HTML e-mails turned off in Mail.app, because most HTML e-mails I get with remote images are spam. But I get some legit e-mails with remote images, always from the same sender. There's no option in Mail.app's Rules to automatically show remote images if the message comes from a specific sender, but I do see an option to run an applescript.
    So is there a script for Mail.app that will turn on remote image display for a message?

    Sorry. I misunderstood your question. Here's a script that should do what you are asking for:
    --BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
    using terms from application "Mail"
    on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
    tell application "Mail"
    activate
    repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
    open eachMessage
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Mail"
    if button "Load Images" of front window exists then
    click button "Load Images" of front window
    end if
    end tell
    end repeat
    end tell
    end perform mail action with messages
    end using terms from
    --END OF SCRIPT
    Please let me know if anything doesn't work as expected.
