How do you show sender in Mail message list

Hi I've recently migrated to Lion and am finding the new layout of Mail frustrating as it shows my mail by the recipient rather than the sender. As the recipient is ususally me, I have what appears to be a inbox of emails to myself but I have to open each email (or preview it) to reveal who actually sent it to me.
Is there a way to have the sender (From field) showing in the list rather than the To field?
I need to have them sorted by Date so that the most recent messages are at the top. But when I choose View > Message Attributes the option to select "From" is already ticked but it is also greyed out.
I have temporarily fixed this by using the classic view but I would really like to know how to do this in the new view?

> Is there a way to have the sender (From field) showing in the list rather than the To field?
The default view for Inbox (and all other folders except for Sent) includes the sender on the first line in bold. It should look like the picture below. Microsoft Outlook is the sender of this message.
If your Inbox shows the recipient on the first line, something is very wrong. I don't know any setting that would cause that to happen. Just for fun, with Inbox selected, check Mailbox > Use this Mailbox For.
What do you see in the Inbox? What email service?

Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

How do I show sender in Mail 6.2?

I have been using Mail in the Classic Layout.
I got a garbeled message that was clear on Mail on iCloud.
I decided to try the iCloud, iPad, Default view message.
First thing I discovered is that I only got two columns because I didn't use the preview at the bottom of the classic layout. I opened that and unchecked "Use classic layout" in the viewing tab of the Mail preference.
Now I have three columns, but I cannot see the sender of the message unless I select it and view the sender in the message pane. In the classic layout I can select and see "from" and "to" column. All options are available.
In default layout in the View >> Message Attributes Menu Author, From, To and several others are checked but greyed out.
Well after I wrote the above, I selected Size. Now Size shows and the sender shows the way I want it to.
So my problem is solved. I will not make this a question.
Learned the importance of showing the preview pane in Classic Layout in order to get three panes in Default layout.
Go figure

Click the table to display the move handle at top left of the table, click the move handle to show the size handles, then drag one of the three size handles. Use the shift key to resize in proportion.

The only way possible to send a non-text file by e-mail is as an attachment. Different e-mail programs will handle JPEG attachments differently. Some will show the attachment within the message and some will not.

How do you get Mountain Lion Mail to show sent email size?

I upgraded to mountain lion I think a couple months ago so I don't remember exactly when I lost this feature, but in Snow Leopard for sure there was an option that when composing a new email, a little bar across the bottom of the email showed the size of your email so when you were adding attachments you could see the size your email was getting to be. I obviously haven't used that in a while because I ahvent' sent attachments in a long while, but I have recently started to do that again and tonight when I was adding files, there was no bar across the bottom of the email at all so I have no idea what size my email was. Even when I hit send and the progress bar in the bottom left of Mail ("Mail Activity") that use to show the file size right underneath the bar also now no longer shows the size so I have absolutely no idea how big the email I sent was.
Can anyone tell me how to get the option back to show the email size of the mail your composing in that little bar on the bottom of your email as well as the file size to display as you are sending in "Mail Actiivity" window? Thanks so much if anyone can help. Thank you!

I think there is not native rule for this, but you could try a transport rule which removes all attachments over a very small file size like 1KB.

I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is a POP acct
I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

How can i show notes in mail like i did in OSX

How can i show notes in mail like i did in OSX?

Notes is now a separate application. I don't think there is any way to show it in Mail, or at least none I've seen.
If you type Notes in Mail's help, it doesn't bring up anything relates to Notes.

How do you set the original outbound message from MSG_WAIT_ACK to MSG_COMPLETE ?

We are using B2B & OSB to send out messages via eBMS protocol
So basically this are the two use cases
1) EBusiness Suite => B2B => OSB=> Customer for the outbound Shipment Notices
2) EBusiness Suite <= B2B <= OSB<= Customer for the Inbound acknowledgement
We are able to use standard B2B functionality to send out the messages using eBMS with https and client certificates
On the way back from the customer, we are using OSB that gets the raw data and the body gets sent to B2B
On the outgoing part a message gets created in B2B and is at MSG_WAIT_ACK
When the acknowledgement comes in, it comes as a seperate messgae in B2B and is at MSG_COMPLETE
How do you set the original outbound message from MSG_WAIT_ACK to MSG_COMPLETE?
We use JMS and have played around with jca.jms.JMSProperty.INREPLYTO_MSG_ID but that is not propagating to REFER_TO_MESSAGE_ID in B2B_BUSINESS_MESSAGE table
I tried using jca.jms.JMSProperty.CONVERSATION_ID as well but no luck
Any response is highly appreciated!

Are you asking about your own JavaMail code or about somebody else's web-based mail agent?
If it's the latter (which is what it sounds like) then you find the checkbox in the preferences configuration, or whatever they call it, which says "Include original message in reply", or something like that. If such a thing exists, that is. If you're thinking that the e-mail message controls how their code formats replies to it, that's not how it works.
Even Outlook lets you configure how replies are formatted, the only difference is that the Outlook default is to include the original message and your web-based agent's default is to not include it.

Can you explain in more detail what it is you want to do? I'm not clear how moving messages to a flash drive would make them appear as they do under Lion.

It's not your fault. I keep telling myself I have to be clearer, but I just ratlle on sometimes...
AlsG4:~ user1$ mailq -bp
postqueue: fatal: Queue report unavailable - mail
system is down
Yes, now everything is under the control of launchd, and the mail system went down when it was unneeded. Enter
sudo launchctl start org.postfix.master
and then mailq, and see if there's anything in the mail queue.
and I don't understand the "cat the input back"?
Maybe too much to ask on this discussion board.
I'm sorry, that's me lapsing into geekspeak. In shell scripting, we sometimes shorten "concatenate" into "cat". What it means is that the symbol "<<" (or ">>" the other way) is used to redirect input into a program. I used the symbol "!" as a delimiter for the input, but you can use any symbol. Just pick something you're not likely to include in the text. So the line
mail -I -s "Test Message" [email protected] <<!
simply means "take everything that follows up to the next "!" as input for the mail program. You won't find that in the mail man page because it's a shell scripting technique.
I'm really sorry I get unclear. I was doing this stuff 25 years ago, and I just get excited when someone asks about it. It's so cool it's still around.

How do I delete a voice mail message before listening to the message ?

How do I delete a voice mail message before listening to the message ?

Hi ,
I see what you mean.This cannot be deleted without calling the voicemail.
You can remove the voicemail if you no longer want this.
Or ring the voicemail from a different number and delete it this way.
Thanks.
