HELP - unable to archive Mail

I am using Mail 1.3.11. I have my IMAP account set up with a Rule to copy incoming email into a folder 'On my Mac'.
However when I look at this mail, all I see is a message in italics " The message from "(description)” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
I am unable to get the text of the message to display.
Any ideas how to cure this

Thanks Steven
Your post is spot on - some spring cleaning is required
I had already tried the 'rebuild' step - everything in the folder disappeared!
So I deleted the whole folder and started up a new one, which is working fine. The reason I started this copying Rule is that I was losing older messages from my Inbox. I believed this was due to the restriction on my space on the ISPs server, and I was extremely concerned as a year or so's worth of older messages had disppeared. But now I have deleted the 'archive' I was copying them into, they have miraculously reappeared and I am very happy!
Thanks again.
Suggestion to Apple: Fit a guage on Mail so you can see when the thing is overloaded!

What's up is that I'm guessing you have a gmail account. This might be of some help to you.

HELP! Can't import archived mail from Apple Mail

I just moved up to a VERY nice MacPro. I archived mail on my G5. When I go to import it into Mail on my VNMP, it refuses to import. No real explanation, just says it couldn't import. Huh? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks

Hi Ann,
I know Flip4Mac has updated the plugin, but it still
could be causing you the problem.
Navigate to HD/Library/Quicktime
Drag the Flip4Mac component to the desktop and
restart the Mac.
See if that makes any difference.
That was the problem. I can import video into iMovie from iPhoto again. So...now the Flip4Mac components are sitting on my desktop. Do I uninstall Flip4Mac? Or is there another option for using it without messing up my iMovie software?
Thanks for the help!

Help locating archived mail!

I archived some old mail that I wanted to save but now I cannot locate it. I watched some tutorials but the archive folder shown in the left panel of mail doesn't exist for me. Where is my archived mail? I am running Lion.

I actually found it myself. Way down at the bottom of the left mail panel, there are some ghost/grayed-out mailbox names. (gmail, etc). If you hover on the right of the bar, the word "show" will appear. click this and the archived mail for each account will appear.

Hi can someone pleaseeeeee help me with this problem. It all started about a month and half ago and i am unable to open mail. I have my mail in my dock and everytime i click on it i see "mail" at the top of the browser but the actual mail server or browser doesn't open. I dont know if this had to do with me downloading a mail notifier from google gmail and since then when i tried to open mail it stop working it wont open! i uninstalled the google app and it still wont open i tired everything i think, i even turned off the computer and back on and nothing. I have a mac book pro tiger 10.4.11 Please HELP! thanks in advance.

First I'd backup your whole Mail folder, with a right Mouse click>Archive, move to a safe place, also move the file below to a safe place.
Try moving this file first, then logout/in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
If that doesn't work try the .plists in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
If you wish to reinstall Mail, it's on your Install Disk.
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4...

"Here's a list of all the custom installation options available with Optional Installs.mpkg:

o iCal 2.0
o iChat 3.0
o iTunes 4.7.1
o Mail 2.0
o Oxford Dictionaries

Personally, I'd leave Mail just lie... it's like trying use an Etch-a-Sketch to replicate the Mona Lisa for me!
I use these two...

Unable to send Mail from POP account

I have an Iphone 4 and have upgraded the IOS from 5-1 to 6.1.3. Since then I have been receiving all my mails but i have been unable to send mails from my POP account. the notification "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The receipient, "xxyyzz @ gmail . com " was rejected by the server" displayed. Please Help. the same thing happens when I configure my POP account on my Son's Iphone4, and there is no problem in receiving and sending mails from my Outlook. Please Help!!!!!
Can i revert back to IOS5.1.1?????

Contact your email provider and get the correct settings to use for the outgoing mail server (SMTP) on a mobile device. If it's email provided by your ISP, they have likely blocked email from outside their network from relaying to prevent spam.

How do I add an archive Mail folder

The help file on organizing mail tells me to go to the mailbox screen and hit Edit. There is no edit button on that screen. I want to add a folder to save or archive mail messages as a local file, not take up room on the server.

Tap the back arrow that saysMailboxes until there is no back arrow just a title saying Mailboxes. You should see two sections under it, one that says Inboxes and another one that says Accounts. Under the Accounts you should see a list of your mail accounts (if you have more than one), select the account you want to add the folder to and it will take you to the lists of folders for that account. Inbox, Drafts, Trash... At the top you will see the Edit button that will allow you to add a folder.

How do I restore my archived mail folders after downloading Yosemite

After downloading Yosemite, all my archived mail folders have disappeared - can someone please help me, I really need to get this information back?

Do you have a backup?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then Mail/V2/Mailboxes

Outlook 2013 Won't Display My Archived Mail PST Files

Hi there,
I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2013 from 2010. I have archived mail in PST files going back many years. I managed to open the first one I tried (Outlook 2003 archive) but noticed it wouldn't display sent items on a common search. I then clicked on the
name bar to sort by name and it did do it. Later when I went back in it wouldn't display any sent items; it just has the "thinking" dots moving at the top. I left it for 3 hours but nothing. I then closed the archive and moved the PST file to my
C drive and tried again; nothing. I opened another PST file but still nothing shows.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm thinking of going back to Outlook 2010 but would rather get 2013 to work properly.
Regards
Ross
Ross Bevin

Hi Ross,
From the description, the problem is that the archive.pst file you created in Outlook 2003 doesn't display anything when opened in Outlook 2013, right? If I've misunderstood something, would you please provide a screenshot so that we can understand this
issue more clearly?
What's the file size of the PST file? It may cause unexpected problem if the file size exceed the limit. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982577
In addition, we can try to use the Inbox Repair Tool to scan and repair the PST file to check if it helps:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-outlook-data-files-pst-and-ost-HA102749454.aspx?CTT=1
Please let me know the result.

Unable to send mail- mail remains in outbox and I receive error message

Ok, I have used Mail for years. All of a sudden I am unable to send mail. The mail goes to the outbox and then I receive the following error message.
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The server "smtp.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 25.
I can connect to webmail of course and send mail that way.
I receive mail perfectly.
Not sure what to do...??
Thank you for any help with this.

Read the following article, which applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states) and can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac):

Unable to Archive Emails in Mavericks!

I am unable to archive emails in Mavericks.
This is what happens:
1. I am archiving emails in one or all mailboxes and then I switch to a different mailbox in Mail.
3. Then I switch back again to the previous mailbox and all the emails I tried to archive earlier, appear in the same mailbox (inbox)
Any sollutions?

I've posted this question elsewhere (going to close it now) and I fixed it by selecting "Rebuild" from the Mailbox menu. It took a while to complete (see the floating activity window), but once that was done, Archiving worked.
Oddly it worked for me on some messages but not others, and there was no pattern to which worked (from, to, subject, etc.)
Try this and let's see if it works for you too.
