HELP mail preferences plane (shows Accounts only)

When I go to my Preferences plane in Mail it just shows the Accounts section and nothing else, so I'm not able to do signatures etc. Please does somebody know what's going on?!

sorry everyone
I was being a bit dim and found the solution

    but now i have the problem, mail shows me only today or yesterday. only if the time stamp ist complete, like '01. Mai 2012' the time shows up.
    i take a screenshot of that problem.
    2. the 'new message' mark isn't show. can this problem something to do with my first problem?
    os ist 10.6.8 and all updates are installed.
    i have already rebuild the database index
    thanks a lot

    It won't show on the other devices or website if enabled as POP.
    If you have it set as IMAP, open Mail account preferences and check to store messages on server in Mailbox Behaviors.

  • How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

    I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
    I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
    i.e.
    if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
    <Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
    As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
    When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    I haven't tried this, but it should work:
    Make a new rule,
    If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
    Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
    In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.

  • After I downloaded Yosemite I can no longer send mail with my google account only receive mail

    I installed Yosemite and I wish I had waited , I can now receive mail on my google account but can't send
    I just get the drop down box with Google off line try another server
    My laptop works fine but that still has maverick on it any help would be appreciated.
    I have already deleted all my mail accounts and rebooted but no luck after reinstalling mail as per laptop installation

    Well, it happened again.
    This morning I was sending out a bunch of emails and around the 10th one they started kicking back.
    This time I did not fool with any of the settings on my computer.
    I turned off both the modem and router.  Started them back up and the problem still exists.
    The last time this happend, about a week ago, it started working again within an hour.
    This problem ony crops up when I am sending many emails at the same time
    Throughout the rest of the week it works fine.
    This time I by-passed the router and the mail will go out.
    So it looks like someting is going on with the router.
    Whenver I hook the router back up, outgoing mail will not work.
    It says it cannot send mail using my server.
    I double checked all of my mail setings and nothing has changed
    I also did a hard rest on the router, but it did not help.
    Again this problem is with 2 computers. 
    I have an early version of Airport Extreme Model A1143.
    It's around 5 years old.
    Whenever I call my ISP they claim everything checks out on their end and they don't offer any help.
    I am sure if I leave the router unplugged for a day or so, it will start working again.
    Is there any way a router can break down and allow incoming mail and internet but not outgoing mail?
    I am am at wits end with this problem.
    I would be willing to go out and get the latest Airport Extreme if I knew for sure it would cure this problem.

  • Use mail app for POP account only?

    This may be a stupid question, but my .mac trial has recently expired, and I do not wish to pay for an entire .mac account because I only enjoy using the e-mail portion of it. I have set up my gmail account so that the e-mail gets forwarded to my mail, but is there any way to send e-mails from my mail application using my POP account now that my .mac is expired?

    I'm not sure I understand you rquestions - It sounds like you want to discontinue your .Mac account but continue to use your .Mac email - I do not believe that that is an option
    If you are switching to gmail (or for that matter adding gmail) you can set up Apple Mail to handle your gmail account either as a POP account ( http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275&topic=12810 ) or an IMAP account ( http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379&topic=1281 ) - gmail help has instructions for this set up and many others as well - a great place to look

  • How do I configure mail app to show email only from "Primary" tab in gmail?

    We all know that Gmail layout has changed. I would like to know if there is any way to filter/select only mails from Primary tab to be displayed in Mail app on Mavericks OSX??

    When you type in the search box, it will show a list of options. If it's a person select the person and it will show in the search box. You can then select option. Add a second token and you'll get options for it as well.

  • Cannot get mail for single email account only

    Hi everyone.
    I have three email accounts on my iphone 4s(1 gmail, two hotmail).
    I get the 'Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the sever failed' message when I acess one of my hotmail accounts.
    I do not get this message when I access the gmail and other hotmail accounts. My other accounts push and recieve email normally.
    I noticed this problem since yesterday.
    I have:
    turned my phone on and off
    reset my iphone
    deleted and re-added the hotmail account to my phone
    and nothing has helped.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?
    Thanks

    I've been having the exact same problem with one of my hotmail accounts on my iPhone 4.  Actually my @hotmail email is working, but my @live is not.
    I've tried the solutions you've listed as well with no resolve.
    This happened suddenly after a year of working just fine.
    Anybody have some ideas?  Since the other emails are working would it be logical that it's with the email server and not the phone?
    Thanks!

  • ICloud account disappears from Mail preferences

    In Mail preferences my iCloud account didn't seem to be working so I deleted it, logged into iCloud, selected 'Mail and Notes' and the Mail account was recreated.  After signing out of iCloud the account disappeared from Mail preferences.  Why?

    So, then, do you recommend that I remain "signed in" to iCloud all the time on both my desktop and my laptop so that the iCloud account always appears in the Mail application?  Or should I "sign in" to iCloud periodically to see if I have mail in my iCloud account or, alternatively, access mail in the iCloud account through iCloud.com?
    The old MobileMe mail account was always present in the Mail application unlike the iCloud mail account.

  • Mail and Multiple User Accounts and Email Accounts

    Hi there I want to be able to have two seperate pop email accounts, one for each of the two user accounts on my Mac mini but what is actually happening is that the primary mail account opens up within both user accounts and if you email the secondary account it arrives at the inbox for the primary one. The two pop accounts have the same ISP (NTL) and incoming mail server but different user names. I'd be very grateful for any suggested solutions!
    Thanks

    When you check Mail preferences and select accounts, you should show only one account for each user. If two accounts show for both, the upper account is considered the primary, but all mail from all listed accounts will be available.
    If you show two accounts, delete the account not belonging to the logged in person.

  • Email icon unread count - one account only

    On ios7 I have two email accounts, yahoo and work, I want the mail icon to show unread only for my work like it used to.  It doesn't matter which mailbox I filter to the icon always show all unread, how can this be changed?

    I found this on another site and it worked.  Go to Settings - Then Notification Center - Then scroll to where you see the mail box application (whether it is set to be included or not included notification center either spot just find it and click on it). Then you select each mail box that is listed and for the ones you don't want in the "red box" turn the badge ap icon to the off position.

  • E.mail alias with mac account does not work...

    I created an alias on my mac account. I made a new account in mail app, but am not sure what username it needs. Does it need the original username of the account holder or the part that is before the at in the alias email address?
    It keeps asking for my password when checking mail, I know the password is correct as it should be the same mac account password as always right?
    I need the second address for business, and it is pretty urgent. Can someone enlighten me? I tried to look it up in the help, but I don't see anything.
    I can send mail from the alias, but can't check mail...

    You cannot access a .Mac account alias as a separate account in Mail.
    The following was copied from Mail Help:
    If you have a .Mac account, you can send and receive email using .Mac email aliases. An email alias is an alternate email address for your .Mac account.
    To send a message from a .Mac email alias:
    Choose File > New Message to open a compose message window.
    Click the Account pop-up menu and choose the email alias.
    When you send the message, it will appear to come from your email alias.
    Messages addressed to your .Mac email alias will arrive in your .Mac account inbox.
    To set up a .Mac email alias, choose Mail > Preferences and click Accounts. Select your .Mac account and click Account Information. Click Edit Email Aliases to go to the .Mac website. Log into your account. Click Accounts and then, in the Email Aliases section, click Create Alias (if none exist yet) or click the Add button (if at least one exists already). Enter a name for the alias and click Create Alias. The alias will then be available in the Account pop-up menu in new message windows.
    If the Account pop-up menu doesn't appear in the compose message window, click the Action menu in the lower-left corner of the message header and choose Customize. Select the checkbox next to Account and click OK.

  • Mail - alias non-Mac account

    We have an account with a provider (non-Mac) and 1 alias. In Mail, I have addded the alias to the e-mail address field as per the instructions. When I send out e-mails from the alias, the receiver does not see the alias, but the main account name. When I try to add another POP-account, I get stuck under username and login-name because it does not accept the same entries as for the main account, while that is all the provider accepts. Mail coming in works fine. How can I solve this?
    Thanks for helping me out.

  • Configure Mail to control Hotmail account?

    I have configured Mail so that it sends and receives email using my Windows Live Hotmail account. But Mail doesn't actually "control" the Hotmail account. For example, if I delete an email in Mail, it doesn't delete it from my online Hotmail account. Mail also doesn't seem to "see" any emails in folders that I have established in my Hotmail account (other than retrieving new emails from the online Inbox). Is there a way to configure Mail to do these things?
    FYI, I am a recent convert to Mac from PC. When using the PC, I used the MSN combined mail/browser software, and it would do the things I'm asking about.
    Thanks.

    I haven't found a complete solution. But supposedly Mail will delete new emails (I say supposedly because I haven't confirmed yet whether it's really working). Go to Mail-Preferences, click on Accounts, click on Advanced, make sure the box is checked for "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message," set the timing in the pop-up box. Like I said, I haven't confirmed that it's working, but that's the closest I've been able to find. Not a great solution.

  • My talk talk email account was set up by a helpful apple employee to only send mail using an iname account (it worked perfectly well before this). How do I undo this?

    my talktalk email account was set up by a helpful apple employee at one of their shops to only send mail via an iname account.
    It had worked perfectly well before.
    I have tried but been unable to undo this. Help!

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
    If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.
