How to magnify text in Mail App ?

How to magnify the mail text in Mail App ?
it is not problem in Gmail or Yahoo so why not magnify in Mail App ?

You can set a font size in Mail, Preferences, Fonts & Colors.
You can adjust font size on the fly by adding the "smaller-bigger" buttons to the toolbar. Open a message and then use "customize toolbar". You will have that button from then on.

What is Rich Text in Mail.app?

When I compose a message in Mail.app, I have the option of sending it in "Plain Text" or "Rich Text".
When I receive a Formatted Text message in Mail.app, it is generally --but not always-- handled correctly. The formatting applied by the sender, in whatever email client, seems to appear consistently in Mail.app.   Not always perfectly.
Probably I can find a standard for RTF as applies to many Text Processor apps...
• Is that the same "Rich Text" as followed by Mail.app?
• Is there a public RTF standard that Mail.app is known to follow?
• Is there a direct method, or a reasonably simple indirect method for making Mail.app's RTF formatting visible?
• Beside Mail.app's GUI commands, is there a direct method, or a reasonably simple indirect method for editing Mail.app's RTF formatting?
I think most email clients transmit Formatted Text messages using HTML tags.
• Does mail.app handle these in addition to RTF, convert HTML tags to RTF, or is, in this context, RTF ~= HTML?
• Is there a public standard HTML standard --certainly a subset-- that Mail.app is known to follow?
I think all Formatted Text messages are actually transmitted by email servers with two copies, one formatted and one plain-text. I know I can often see HTML markup when I use View-->Message-->Raw Source on an incoming message selected. But there doesn't seem to be any way of viewing or editing the markup in the reply message.   Specifically View-->Message-->Raw Source is grey when a reply is selected.
• Is there a direct method, or a reasonably simple indirect method for editing HTML tags when responding to a formatted message?
A big annoyance: Often, when I reply to a formatted message, some groups of text, when selected, are surrounded by a rounded-corner grey rectangle, with a circle-X close/delete button at the upper left. These are also visible when I'm composing a reply. It's difficult -- sometimes impossible-- to open a new line for a reply inside such boxes. I think this box corresponds to HTML table cells --or possibly other containers-- in the incoming message.
• Does Mail.app use the rounded-corner grey rectangle to mark a received table cell? Anything else?
• Is there a direct method, or reasonably simple indirect method for removing the cell container so vertical space can be inserted?
• Does Mail.app use any other special markings to denote HTML formatting?
In other words,

No, Mail.app is using HTML - as you mentioned that's pretty much true for all email applications that send or receive formatted messages. When you copy and paste from another app, it's converted to HTML (I think that conversion is handled by the system, as part of the copy/paste operation - i.e., it's converted while still on the clipboard).
• Is there a public RTF standard that Mail.app is known to follow?
HTML, not RTF. w3.org is the standards body. Like many OS X apps, Mail.app is using Webkit (the Safari web rendering engine) to display the messages (although I do notice some differences from Safari, so it's probably limited somehow, most likely for security reasons)
• Is there a direct method, or a reasonably simple indirect method for making Mail.app's RTF formatting visible?
Save your outgoing message, then view it in your "Drafts" folder. Click the "View" menu, then "Message --> Raw Source".
• Beside Mail.app's GUI commands, is there a direct method, or a reasonably simple indirect method for editing Mail.app's RTF formatting?
Nope. The "raw source" view cannot be edited.

That's essentially correct, the box corresponds to the HTML table. I think you get that when you add some HTML code to your message that Mail doesn't have the interface to edit (no table tools to add or delete rows, for instance), but I've only encountered it with tables.
• Is there a direct method, or reasonably simple indirect method for removing the cell container so vertical space can be inserted?
I usually resort to pasting the message into a more capable editor - often TextEdit is good enough, but I've sometimes resorted to using Dreamweaver. Make your changes, then paste the result (from the WYSIWYG, not the HTML code) back into your mail message.
Other times I just avoid using Mail.app. Thunderbird is better for complicated HTML, or was better - it's been a while since I've needed to use for this purpose.
• Does Mail.app use any other special markings to denote HTML formatting?
No, not to my knowledge.

How can I get my mail app to sync from my mac to iPhone, I don't have the 'info' option in iTunes?

How can i get my mail app to sync from my mac to iphone? i dont have the 'info' option in itunes!
I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

How do I force iPhone Mail app to reply in plain text?

How do I force the iPhone Mail app to reply in plain text?

If I take the above preferences and change them from Arial 14 to Arial 144 I can get the body in about half of my current messages to display in 144 pt font.
It varies by mail client of sender and to which mail box it goes to on my Mac. Haven't found a commonality yet.
Someone here will have a brilliant answer, however.

How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
Thanks in advanced

Hello,
I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
Any help would be appreciated

How to troubleshoot Windows 8 Mail app connectivity issues with Google Business Apps?

My company went to Google Apps last year. I am unable to connect Mail App on Windows 8 to my corporate Google account. I am using m.google.com for server with SSL enabled, but no luck. I also enabled bit locker as my company policy requires device encryption.
Mail App does not give a clear error message. It simple states that this PC does not meet security policies enforced by Google. Please advice. I already made peace when my Nokia Lumia 920 running windows phone 8 does not connect to Google
apps because of a bug that would not turn on device encryption unless requested by Active Sync and it would not turn on with Google sync.
These are annoying issues that Microsoft must fix to gain enterprise support. Here are the settings from my mobile settings page:

Answer is of no use. I tried all the forums and websites. I am not able to connect to corporate google apps because it requires SD card encryption. How do I enable this on windows 8.
Please discuss this with your boss and other peers before answering. This is an advanced question. I am going to paint this a little bit more..
Today's enterprise requires that most devices support device encryption and Windows Phone does support device encryption but here is the problem- there is no support for SD card encryption. Even for phones like Lumia 920 that does not have an SD card cannot
connect to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync due to a bug in the implementation.
When the policy parameter Require Encryption on Storage Card is enabled, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices misreport the presence of an SD card, even if the device has no SD card slot. The policy enforcement occurs, provisioning fails, and the device
cannot be synchronized. You can read more on their support site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464593
This long thread on the Microsoft community is a testament to this problem:
http://answers.microsoft.com/e...3ce3-49e4-8069-ecdccd55a5f9
This is also a problem for those enterprises that are using google apps and running Microsoft exchange activesync. Take a look at this request and policy that will throw the 85010013 error on your windows phone.
Request :

Overall, I hope Microsoft fixes this issue soon

How can I stop the mail app from downloading old messages and marking them as new.... repetedly

I have just bought myself my first ever mac, and i've been having a little trouble with the mail function that comes with it. The first time i connected my mail app to my hotmail adress, all my old mails started coming in and they were all marked as unread. i had like 7000 og them, so it took a while for them all to load. after this i marked them all as read, and it was fine for a couple of days.
I am not sure what makes all my e-mails load as "new" again and again, but it happens every so often. This is very annoying because i get a little notification at the top of my screen for every "new" e-mail.
In the beginning i didn't think that much of it, but now it is really starting to annoy me, bacause it has happened so many times, so my question is:
Have any of you experienced this? And how did you fix it?
And i am running the OS X version 10.8.2, if that is relevant

Is it an IMAP or POP account?
For POP accounts, you can select remove from server under the advanced tab of the account.

How do I remove Apple Mail app from the dock on my Macbook Air, Maverick version?!?

I am using OS X version 10.9.2 (Maverick). The Apple Mail app is frozen and stuck on my dock. How do I remove it?!? The icon is active (light below) but I have quit the application. Also, I cannot open the application anymore either (I click to open, but nothing happens). Help!

I just tried trashing everything in the Mail package contents and restarting my Air. However, it says that Mail has cancelled restart and that I should try quitting Mail (which I have done, multiple times)..... Please help!

How to switch focus in Mail.app?

Hello!
I am trying to use Mail.app only with the keyboard.
However one last thing keeps me using the MagicTrackpad: I was not able to discover how to switch the focus from one folder of the folder list on the left side to the mails within this folder (in the middle panel - using the 3-panel-view).
Do you have an idea how to do this?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Vlad

Hi, Jeffrey!
Thanks for your reply!
In the linked article you can find:
"You can use the tab key to switch between the three areas of Mail.app’s interface — (1) the Mailbox Viewer, (2) The Message List Viewer, the (3) Preview Pane and the search field in the Toolbar:"
This is no longer true for me (not even in the classic design!), running Version 6.2 (1499) from Mail.app with 10.8.2: I can not switch between this areas using the tab key!
Do you?
Kind regards,
Vlad

Help, how to export emails from mail app

hi guys: I did not uncheck the box remove emails from the server after ..... so my hotmail on the server are gone. i want to have email copys stores on the server, since i need to check hotmails from any computer, not just on my home computer where the emails backup copys are stored. so i want to export my emails from the mail app in the mac back to hotmail server, how can i do that?? please give me a hand, i will really appreciate

You can do it via Mailbox>Archive Mailbox. And also, based on what you're saying you have Hotmail set up as an POP account in Mail. Don't know if Hotmail offers it, but if you set up the Hotmail account as IMAP in Mail then the behaviour will be different. You will have two copies of the emails on both the server as well as the computer. Go to Hotmail's help section and type in keyboards like "IMAP" and "Apple Mail."

How to make friends Apple Mail.app vs MS Exchange:-)

Hi,
Help me please to resolve my problems with Mail.app via Exchange. I can sent mail no futher than the Exchange local adresses. But I can't receive any mail at all. No SLL, IMAP/SMTP by default, all settings are correct in all layers of my account. It's absolutely true. I have no more ideas how to sync Mail with Exchange. May be I need to configure the Exchange but how? Could you send me Exchange'screenshots to [email protected] with IMAP layer and others you decide they necessary? I will be appreciated for any support. Thanks in advance.

Was an issue with Exchange public folders and IMAP clients (like MacMail)

How can I PIMP my Mail app? Any cool stuff I can add? Any customizable stuf

Hey Folks.
Just wondering what type of things I can do to my Mail app to PIMP it out! Anything you guys would recommend such as customize some stuff, any cool add ons? Any new visual layouts and stuff like that?
Let me know plz.
Thanks.
-Joey

Thanks Randy. appreciate it.
Orange - well it all depends on what you consider "PIMP" - maybe the world's only 7 star hotel? Or maybe, a camel worth nearly 4 000 000$ (check it out online, a camel was sold for that much)... so depends what your perspective on PIMP really is

How I solved issues with Mail.app and Spotlight

Even though my upgrade from Tiger 10.4.10 to Leopard was painless, the new OS X did have a few issues that had bothered me:
*Mail.app: * Every now and then, the app would behave like on its first startup, saying it needs to import my mail before I can work with it. What's more, at times I've had the phenomen that messages would appear empty on the preview pane and sometimes even when being opened.
*Spotlight: * Even though I let the indexing finish on the first day of working under Leopard, every now and then it seemed to start all over. First, I thought it's the NAS being indexed but it just went on to restart indexing each time I thought I had let it finish.
*Free disk space: * I tried to bring the usage of my homedirectory down so I would have enough free disk space to switch FileVault off and then back on so I could start using TimeMachine. But whatever I did, the free disk space just wouuldn't inrease - it just stayed the same (yes, I did let the system recover space on shutdown).
The *free disk space* issue made me think there was a problem with my disk but repeated runs with the Disk Utility yielded nothing...not for about a month. Yesterday I got some warnings about 'damaged but not repaired' but according to an Apple doc those could be safely ignored.
Somebody suggested to apply the combo update for 10.5.1 as that could solve some issues so I went ahead - after all, the update had already been applied earlier so just re-installing wouldn't hurt much, right?
Wrong.
The install of the combo update went smoothly, FileVault recovered some space on shutdown but upon restart I couldn't log in anymore: My homedirectory was damaged. The friendly OS X Leopard offered to repair it but soon later reported back that it failed doing so.
Now, to cut a long story short - deleting the affected user's account and using a different user on the same machine (without FileVault) solved any issues I've had. Mail now works like a charm (despite 40k+ messages with attachments), spotlight doesn't restart all it's indexing and disk space is shown correctly again. Also the odd corrupt file copy I had experienced occasionally (especially with large files) was gone.
My advise to anyone who didn't de-activate FileVault under Tiger to make the switch to Leopard: Even if you think it worked, switch it off and let Leopard set it up again. You may think things went right...but the above shows that there may be issues with it that you may blame other apps for...but they're probably not guilty at all.
I don't think the combo update actually caused FileVault to turn corrupt, it was just what broke the camel's neck. While it's no fun to lose your homedirectory, I'm glad the underlying issue finally came to light.

Thanks to this thread, it's been solved.
