HT5225 Problem with Mac Mail

I do not want to access my MAC mail via my browser, I prefer accessing my mail in the Mac Mail application! How do I do this?

Seems like it storing the same emails in different folders . As i see now :
All Mail 5.11 GB
Inbox     2.82 GB
Important 2.56 GB
Sent Mail 1.8 GB
Sent          767.4 MB
Starred     482.4 MB
Drafts      57.4 MB
Trash       9.7 MB
Junk e-mail 671 kb
Bin              414 kb
Spam      0
Deleted Items   0

from this above , i can understand that Inbox ( 2.82 Gb ) and Sent ( 767.4 Mb ) and Drafts are real folders that contains actual files according to the current status on server .
what the **** the other folders contains , i can not get. I though those folders should have just show the same files available in the main folders , in different way, according to Folder focus. Am i right ??
apparently i suspect they just copied original files for some purpuses, insead of working as simple filter folders.
can anybody explain me , how to work this out and make my Mail app do not dublicate emails , but store them in appropriate way and show it to me .

Thawte Personal Email Cert - Problem with Mac Mail

Hi, I have requested a free cert from Thawte and there seems to be a problem with Mac Mail (using 2.0.7).
I am using Entourage to send a signed message from [email protected] to [email protected]
If I check mail for [email protected]
Mac Mail reports "There was a problem reading the digital signature for this message"
If I check the same account with Thunderbird, everything works fine.
Anyone else having or had problems?
-chris

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I requested another cert and that did not help. Here is the process I used after requesting another cert.
1. Logged into www.thawte.com and requested a new cert.
2. Using Firefox, retrieved the cert.
3. In Firefox, backed up the cert to a pkcs12 file.
4. Opened Keychain and deleted the first cert.
5. Imported the pkcs12 backup file. Imported fine.
6. Open Entourage, under tools, accounts, exchange profile, security, selected the cert Thawte Freemail Member.
7. Checked all 3 options (sign, include cert, clear test signed.
8. Created a test message from Entourage to .mac account address.
9. Checked mail with Mac Mail and signature fails.
10. Check with 1.02 Thunderbird and it comes back with valid digital signature.
Next, I sent a test email to my Exchange account from Entourage and that message verifies fine. It just seems to not work when I check my email with Mac Mail.
Thanks!

I have a problem with MAC Mail and Mediacom

I have a problem using mac mail with Mediacom. I can recieve messages, but i cannot send messages. Of course the support people at Mediacom can't seem to help me. i have searched threads here and tried some of the things but have had no luck. Please help.

I had the same problem with a relatives macbook on mediacom broadband just today,
Something gets corrupted if you enter the server wrong on the first try and even editing to correct it won't fix it. You must delete the server and add a new one.
To fix it go to mail preferences and click account at the top of the prefs window. At the bottom of the account pane click the outgoing server list and select edit server list. Select your server and hit the - symbol on the left below the list. I then close the prefs, save changes and quit mail. Re-launch Mail and open prefs, select account again and edit outgoing server, click the + at the bottom of the list and add a server, double click the server where it says double click here and type mail.mchsi.com in the box. close the prefs and save changes and you should now be able to send.

Configuration problem with Mac Mail/ATT

Starting probably this morning, wireless on a PPC iMac was sluggish. Connections didn't finish. Connecting to an URL led to hanging connections.
Well, contacting ATT (my ISP), we discovered that all three of our Macs have the same problem. No problem sending and receiving email through the Ethernet, but wireless was sluggish. ATT said that, since we're dealing with a Mac Mail issue, it would be $14.99 for help on the configuration.
I don't know the new configuration, but I could change them - if I knew the settings. I'm hoping that someone has the information to save me some money. And if someone consults this discussion, they'll know the answer by looking at this thread.
Does anybody know about changes in email configurations over the past few days?

Nobody seemed to know the answer to this, so I had to look it up.
Seems that the DNS settings were incorrect for some reason. I applied OpenDNS to each of the computers in our house, and everything works fine now. I love OpenDNS.

Is there a problem with .mac mail?

I have been unable to access my .mac mail since earlier last evening using both the Mail application or via webmail. When attempting to check mail from the Mail application I get the password rejected prompt and re-enter my password. This does nothing other than re-prompt me to enter my password again.
I can log into .mac, but when I attempt to check mail I get:
http://www.mac.com/wm/unavailable/
This page has been coming up for me all night and all morning. I have reset my password, still nothing.
I have tried using two different Macs, one i Book G4 running 10.3.9 and a iMac G4 using 10.4.6. I have tried using two different ISPs. No luck.
The dotmac support website claims nothing is wrong with the system. And yet, clearly something is amiss. Any ideas anyone?

Yes, this happened at home and my office. I have tried both Airport and direct ethernet connection at home and my connection at work is via ethernet. The work computer is running Tiger; the home computer is on Panther. The work computer connects through a university ISP; home computer via Road Runner (Time Warner cable). The work computer had not been touched in about a week before this morning and worked fine a week ago. All I have done on the home computer is download the most recent security update. I have had no problem with either computer at either location subsequent to last evening. So basically I had email access yesterday at approximately 2 PM then I cam home approximately 8 PM and have subsequently been unable to access mail from either computer since then. No settings were manually changed on either computer during that period, I didn't change anything about my connections to the internet on either computer, etc. My .mac account is paid through March of next year, so I can rule out the old forgot to pay the bill business. I am totally perplexed.

UAG problems with OSX - same problem with Mac Mail and Outlook 2011 (via EWS)

Hi folks,
I'm trying to fix the last snagging issue I have with OSX clients in a UAG / Exchange 2010 deployment:
When trying to connect Mac Mail or Outlook 2011 the connections are very slow to start up, both at initial config and thereafter.
On connection I see lots of the same error re Session Cookies in UAG and no connection in the mail client. If I leave it for a few minutes, sometime many minutes, the errors stop and I eventually get a working connection.
The error is:
"Sesson Attempted to Access Restricted Application"
User with source IP address x.x.x.x tried to access application Exchange EWS that was restricted that was restricted for the session. This might indicate an intrusion attempt by misusing the session cookie.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this ?
Many thanks
Steve

Ruud, no, we didn't find a solution, or rather our solution (so far) is to tell users not to use Mac Mail and to use Outlook 2011 instead, which seems to work fine (after some Office updates!)...and we haven't upset anyone with that requirement
(yet).
There are some very long discussions on Apple support forums about the whole Mavericks / Mac Mail / Exchange 2010 issues.
I do hope to have another go at this problem sometime soon, I'm sure there must be a solution (and my money says it relates our hardware load balancers).

Problem with Mac Mail-iMap server on Hosting (Overloading Server)

Hello, I just created an account with HostGator for my business and we have 6 emails. We have imap email and our account allows us to check email once per minute per email. We have it set up to check every 5 minutes so this should not be a problem.
They then told us that there was a problem with it checking more frequently and also overloading the server by issueing 'multiple imap commands per email, 3 to 4'. I can view our server processes and sure enough each email is showing 4 imap commands. I unchecked 'use IDLE command" since I know IDLE command has something to do with it checking frequently for email.
Unfortunately we have 3 processes running on our website so once we had 24 for the 6 emails that goes over our limit of 25 and our website goes down. For now we have had to turn off most of our emails except 2 that we receive most email at which is causing major problems.
When we talked to HostGator that question was "Do you use Mac mail? Mac Mail is knowing for doing that". Since I only use Mac's I don't want to have to switch to Windows for email or use another email program like Entourage or Thunderbird. This is a frustrating issue and when I did research on Google I saw a lot of other people having this issue but didn't see any answers. Any ideas what is causing this and how I can fix it?

Hi,
IMAP IDLE is not the problem - it is even good! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAP_IDLE
I have also an unanswered similar Post some hours ago: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1957241&tstart=15

Problem with mac mail and Mediacom

Just bought a macbook 13" with 4GB and 2.4 core2duo 2.4
I have a problem with 10.5.6 and mac mail with mediacom at work. I can receive but can't send. I have no problems with bellsouth.net when using that provider at work.
Mediacom has no answers so I'm here. I've filled that required fields correctly using mail.mchsi.com in incoming and out going mail servers. Firefox mail client works fine with Mediacom but I want to use the Apple client. I've used advice from what I could find on google and nothing works such as repair permissions to change ports. I hope a Mediacom user can shed some light to this problem. If all else fails I will use the Firefox mail client but I really don't want to.
Thanks

Problem with mac mail / keychain password

Hi there, I have several email accounts on mac mail when I open them three of them regularly ask me to input my keychain password, I do this and tick the box that says remember password but it still keeps happening. Ive dont the keychain repair to no avail and also followed apples advice with regards to making sure that there is no time limit for logging me out of the keychain / passwords. From what I can read on google this seems to be a fairly common problem it only seems to be happening on accounts that ive set up recently through POP 3 account mail easy and suggestions please. Many thanks

Use Keychain Access to delete the program password sites and then do the server connection again. This should save a new password entry in your Keychain and hopefully solve your problem.

Undisclosed recipient problem with mac mail

I'm sorry if this isn't the right community for this but I can't identify in the list where to post it.
I'm using mac mail on my Mac Mini 2014 but have a problem because whenever I receive a message the header shows my (correct) email address but when I open the message it comes up as Undisclosed recipient, even though I know it was sent just to me. It happens even if I send a message to myself. There appears to be a problem with the settings somewhere in mac mail. Can anyone help please?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Problem with Mac Mail Address Bar

When I type a name in the Mac Mail program, it can take as much as 15 seconds to find the record and insert the name in the TO bar of my outgoing e-mail. I was told that this may have something to do with the large volme of data bing parsed by the Mac LDAP program. How do I eleminate the long wait time. It's frustrating to simply write an e-mail to anyone. Interestingly, when I write an e-mail in Outlook on a P.C., i don't experience the same lag time issue. Anybody got any solutions?

Problem with Mac Mail not Deleteing Mail

Mac Mail no longer deletes a message from the host server once it is downloaded even though the option to delete once the mail is downloaded is ticked in the account prefernce area.
Has anyone else come across this problem and have a solution?

Have changed the account preference in Mac mail to "delete message once it is removed from inbox" this deletes the message on the ISP's server.

Problem with Mac Mail

I was clearing out Mailboxes of unwanted files yesterday,moving the cursor around the screen to move down through a Mailbox, and the familiar appearance of the Mail Inbox/Sent/Trash/Mailboxes etc suddenly altered without my having touched the Preferences or deliberately altered any of the settings. Take for example the Inbox...Instead of a small box where new mail items appear which when clicked open to be read there is now a full screen page, white and blank, on which new mail items appear...no sidebar. When clicked they do not open unless double clicked. I have tried every button on the Mail screen which might have caused the change to try to reverse it to the original presentation but nothing works and I can find no choice in the Preferences which has any effect either. Help!

I think you may have accidentally double-clicked the divider on the email list window, which will result in the horizontal divider bar "retracting" to the bottom of the screen, and leave you with just the list of emails, but no apparent way to just click once on a message, and read it on the screen without double-clicking to open a separate message window.
Launch your Mail.
Look carefully at the bottom edge of the Mail window. You SHOULD see a small dot in the center of the bottom edge. If you move your mouse to that bottom edge of the Mail window, you should be able to move the divider up the screen. That divides the mail list from the mail message viewing window. Drag the divider to a position that you prefer.
And, you should be back to your normal mail window.

Problem with mac mail abroad

Hello all,
I live in the US but I am spending the next month and a half in the UK. I have my Mail client setup so that it pulls my emails from all five of my different accounts. Currently, sitting in Amsterdam, I am unable to get the accounts to receive mail (I know to send I may need to switch the port). I really prefer the Mail client over individually going to each email's web service and so I'd like to get it working. When I click the exclamation mark error next to each account, it says that the connection to that mail server on port 993 timed out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Noah

Hey guys, thanks for both of your responses. I'm assuming it was just the wireless in the Amsterdam airport as now on the wifi in Manchester the email is working fine.
Thanks again,
Noah
