I clicked on a new mail notification and lost my work on the email I was writing.

I'm submitting this already solved because I just about freaked out and may have lost my work for real:
On my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.2 I opened the Mail app and browsed to the Drafts folder on my Gmail account. I opened a draft and had written a page or two when I received a mail notification banner. I clicked it and was taken to the incoming mail message. Realizing I hadn't "saved" my draft in any way, I quickly went back to the Drafts folder and opened it up. To my dismay, the draft was as if I had not written those two pages! By God's grace I chose to press "Cancel". I pulled down on the list of drafts to refresh with the server, and opened it again. Voila! All my work was back.
Apparently when I clicked the notification, iOS saved my draft to the Gmail server, but when I went back to my Drafts folder, it opened a cached copy. I'm guessing that if I'd edited the cached copy and saved it, the one on the server would have been overwritten.
I hope this helps somebody.
God bless.

New mail notification won't go away...

Hi there!
I'm using MacOS 10.7.4 and Mail 5.3 on a 13" MBP from 2012.
Lately I experience the problem, that the new mail notification (those little red numbers on the mail icon in the dock ) won't disappear after I read the mail.
When I quit mail completely and start it up again the notification is gone...
This behaviour is pretty new on my machine.
Can anybody help me with that?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I did restart the dock and will let you wether that solved the problem!
It'll take a day or two until I'm sure the notification will be gone for sure after I read an email because the problem didn't appear on a regular basis.

New mail notification counter not appearing in dock

I've noticed recently that my new mail notification counter doesn't appear in the dock if I have Mail sitting in the background. I can be working in, say, Word, and not know I have new mail. Yet, when I go to Mail there are emails sitting there (and the dock counter appears as soon as I go to Mail.
Not a major problem, I agree, but it would be nice to fix it, if anyone has any suggestions.
Cheers
Phil

Thanks for the replies. I do have preferences set as you suggest but am not getting the notifications when Mail is in the background. I'll just live with it...
Cheers

Programatically create new mail item and open - body text lost on subsequent saves

Hi,
I have a problem with trying to create new GroupWise mail item from a
button in a C3PO. I require programmatic access to this via the Object
API, so it must be a saved draft. This is relativley straight forward to
do - just create a mail item using the object API, and then use the Token
API to open this item.
This worked fine in 6.5.0, however in 6.5.1 and 6.5.2 I have noticed that
when the user does a subsequent save, the body text of the message
dissappears in the GUI (it is updated correctly in the draft however) -
and all subsequent saves cause the body text to dissappear. If you close
the mail item and open the draft manually you can continue as normal.
As a test, I also tried to use the Token API to create a new mail item,
and then again to save the item in the work in progress folder. This
seems to work fine the very first time you do this, but each subsequent
time the same behaviour is seen - i.e. the body text of the email is
deleted from the GUI. Also, another observation here, event though the
mail item was saved in the WIP folder via the token API command
ItemSaveMessageDraft, it moves into the users MailBox when the user saves
it manually.
I have posted the two snippets of code from my test C3PO project at then
end.
This is a major problem, as we need to be able to reliably create new mail
items from a toolbar button, so any help very much appreciated.
Regards
Greg
Test case 1: Create a new message object in the WIP folder, and then open
it using Token API...
Dim sRetString As String
Dim DraftMail As Object
Set DraftMail =

("GW.MESSAGE.MAIL", egwDraft)
g_Commander.Execute "ItemOpen(""" & DraftMail.MessageId & """)", sRetString

Anyone got the new iPod touch 2nd gen to work with the fatman itube dock???

Hi all,
Recently for christmas I've bought a new iPod touch 2nd gen and it's awesome, everything is great about it - in my opinion; except for the fact that I tried to dock it on the fatman itube docking station and found it not to work. Before I used it I was aware that the 2nd gen is unable to charge on the dock however I didn't expect the speakers not to work too. All that happens is a message on the ipod comes up saying unable to charge with this accessory but doesn't put any sound output into the fatman, it just sits there blasting out it's own quiet internal speaker, and also strangely the remote DOES work too???
I've read on the net that maybe resetting the ipod by holding the home+stand-by switch for 10 secs but this resets and does not fix the problem...
There are many photos on the fatman website showing a ipod touch docked so it seems to be sold as working with it but who's to blame for this fault? Apple or fatman?? And does anybody know of a fix for it?
Also I tried my mums ipod nano with the fatman - works fine, and my firmware on the ipod touch is nice and up to date with version 2.2 so I can't see anything else I can do. This was my christmas & birthday present and at the moment I'm quite annoyed that all I can do to it is stick a mini jack in the headphone socket - not ideal since there's no video output or remote control that way!!!
Please give advice if there is any out there,
Thanks,
Mrghostie.

This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

Rule containing "Mark as Read" and "Move to Folder" does not remove New Mail Notification

I asked this question in another forum here (sorry for not linking, but the forum would not let me because my account is not yet verified):
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/rule-containing-mark-as-read-and-move-to-folder/061a8009-dd98-4304-81b0-6c4c8a5a6205
They passed the buck to this forum. Can anyone help? Here is my original post:
I have set up a rule so that emails from a certain sender should be marked as 'read' and routed to a certain folder. The rule works just fine except for the fact that it does not remove the new mail notification from the taskbar icon
or the system tray. The rule reads as follows:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with New Home Sale in the subject
move it to the _New Home Sales folder
and mark it read
Once I open the _New Home Sales folder, all messages are marked as read, as they should be. When I open any of the emails in this folder, the notification goes away. It does not even have to be the most recent email or the same folder
- opening any email from any folder clears the notification, even if the same email was used to clear it before. Previewing does not remove the notification.
I have a similar rule set up for another folder:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with New Home Final Sale in the subject
move it to the _New Home Final Sales folder
and mark it as read
The same thing happens here with the unread notification.
This is very annoying, as I want to receive these emails but I do not need to know every time one comes in.
Does anyone have any advice on this? I have read a few threads about an unread email bug, but I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting somewhere. I find it hard to believe such a bug would persist this long.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify the Exchange version and Outlook version at first. Since I have a test in my environment using Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2010. I create a same inbox rule, it works and there is no new mail notification from
the taskbar.
What's more, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the problem is caused by add-ins.
If the issue persists, please install the Outlook latest Service Packs and check the result.
Hope it helps.

Outlook 2013 new mail notification sounds can't be changed

I've got a weird issue with Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.. I've read several other posts that are kind of similar but they don't really apply.
So, Outlook 2013 uses the "Desktop Mail Notification" sound event.. unless I change the .wav file assigned to that event. Then it instead uses the "New Mail Notification" event. Then when I change the .wav file assigned
to THAT one, it changes again to instead use the "Notification" event. Then when I change the .wav file assigned to "Notification," Outlook just won't play anything at all when receiving new mail. It just flat refuses to use
anything but the default .wav files.
Has anyone run into this before?

Hi,
To change the new mail notification sound, please try the following:
1. Right click the sound icon at the right bottom to open the sound settings.
2. Under the
Windows section, change both the Desktop Mail Notification and New Mail Notification
events to have the same .wav file for the sound you want played for them.
3. Then click OK to test the result.
Thanks,

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

No new mail notification in Outlook - CAS Exchange RPC Client Access problem

Hi, we're facing this problem:
Users start complaining they suddenly don’t receive new mail notifications in Outlook (2010/2013) anymore
Inbox does not show the new mail either
When the user changes folders in outlook, the new mail does show in the Inbox folder
Restarting Outlook shows the new mail as well.
The same new e-mail arrives instantly (with notifications) in Owa and on mobile devices
Sometimes the new mail notification pops up after a longer period of time (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes). But more often not at all.
This issue seems to occur at random. We’ve been problem free for a week, and sometimes it comes back three times a day.
Clients running Outlook 2010, 2013 cached or online, on site and off site. So it seems server related, not client.
It was seen first around January 8th. We did not make any changes around that time that we can link to this problem.
Only one CAS server (EXCH1-RTD) shows this issue. CAS servers on other sites are ok
EXCH1-RTD has CAS and HUB transport roles. The same site has two mailbox only servers. EXCH2-RTD (mailbox server for normal mailboxes). And EXCH3-RTD (mailbox server for archive mailboxes)
No entries in the event logs that seems to be related
As the problem only occurs with Outlook clients, I suspected RPC issues. We cannot gracefully stop the “Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access” service on EXCH1-RTD while the issue occurs. We
can only kill the process and restart the service, solving the issue instantly.
What we’ve tried until now:
Updated all Exchange servers from Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 to RU8-v2 (server OS=W2K8R2)
Updated all Exchange servers to latest critical Windows updates
Recalculated requirements using MS Sizing tool. Upgraded EXCH1-RTD VM from 8GB and 2 vCPU (1 core/cpu) to 16GB
and 4vCPU (1 core/cpu)
Ran various perfmon counters and compared them with other Exchange servers, not finding any obvious anomalies.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Ron

Hi Ron,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue is related to Outlook side. In your case, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the issue is related to add-ins. If the issue persists, you can create a new profile to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

How do I just get the Inbox messages to show in the new mail notification?

I've setup Thunderbird with Gmail and it works like a charm. The only gripe I have is that the new mail notification seems to grab a selection of unread emails from different folders and often it's not showing the relevant new emails in my inbox. Esp. the All Mail folder seems to cause doubling of message notifications but it's not the only one .
All I'm interested in is my inbox for new mail notifications. Is there anyway to modify the current behaviour?

That's not true. If you archive an email from your inbox without labelling it it will simply remove the inbox label and then the only way to get to it is through All Mail.
Note that All Mail is not only folder that has this issue. If you auto-label a message with 2 or more labels the exact same problem occurs.

Losing New Mail Notification after send/receive

Hello,
I have a Treo 800w with WM6.1. Experienced same problem also with HTC Mogul on WM6.0.
My yahoo email and work exchange email are setup via IMAP. The new mail notification works when a new message is received. However, upon the next send/receive, even if the message has not been viewed, the new mail icon and notification goes away. As a result, I cannot utilize any reminder feature, even third party that will work past the duration of my send/receive interval. Does any fix exist for this?
Thanks for your help
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

Mail only shows a flag in the Dock for new mail when it arrives in the Inbox; you can't get around this. But you can add this functionality to ALL mailboxes if you download and install this item:
http://www.macupdate.com/download.php/13292/MailEnhancer-10_3.dmg
Be sure to follow the directions and it should work without a problem.
Mulder

I clicked on a new mail notification and lost my work on the email I was writing.
