ICalHelper re-sending ALL e-mail alarms in ALL calendars since PMU reset

Dear iCal List,
For various reasons, I reset the PMU on my PowerBook G4 today. (I had recently removed some preferences as well, in the hopes of curing an unrelated problem.) When I restarted the Mac and logged in, iCal proceeded to re-send EVERY e-mail alarm I had ever set up to today. (The PMU reset temporarily sets the clock to Dec, 1969, which I think is the problem... iCal must see this and assume that I haven't used the computer for the last 39 years....) This amounted to several hundred e-mails being generated and sent. I was able to disconnect from my LAN and eventually delete all the outbox e-mails, but this behavior of iCal and iCalHelper is exceptionally annoying.
Does anyone know (1) exactly what triggers this behavior (ie: Resetting PRAM, SMU/PMU, removing preferences, other), (2) how to stop iCalHelper from sending once it has started this (Yes, I know how to kill the process in Terminal, but once I restart iCalHelper, I'm afraid it will simply pick up where it left off.), and (3) whom to contact at Apple to ask them to rectify this annoying behavior? There isn't an obvious way to restrict iCalHelper's e-mail behavior to, say, only sending alarms for a maximum of 10 previous days. I cannot imagine a circumstance where you would want the program to look through its entire database for unsent alarms older than a certain time frame. Apple usually doesn't engage in sloppy programming. However, this unrestricted iterative loop is uncharacteristic and should be fixed. Obj-C 2.0 makes looping easy, but that shouldn't mean it's done without careful consideration and user-selected limits.
Thanks.
-Dan

I am still trying to figure out this problem as well. My MacBook Pro's logic board was replaced, and now I get empty iCal notifications every so often, and while these empty notifications are shown, iCal Helper (the process) goes to 99% of the CPU, and starts gobbling up all the free RAM on my computer. I keep having to force-quit it, as it pops back up again after a while.
I'm looking for an answer to this as well. Is there any way to reset iCal's notification system?

In using my Hotmail Windows Live e-mail account I can't upload a pic as an Attachment. In testing my Silverlight Plugin it tests okay. I've sent many "Crash Reports". Would prefer sending an e-mail to explain all aspects of this prob.

I tried doing this using my gmail email account, but there I get the msg that Firefox crashed. I use SE Aware, Spybot and Malware for securing my pc. After using each of these to do a computer scan my pc still crashes giving me that msg that my Silverlight Plugin has crashed. When I go to Mozilla Firefox to test my Plugins Silver test okay. Tomorrow I'll try another pc and report back the results.
In anticipation of a reply, I kindly thank you for your help.

All iCloud mail failing from all devices

All of my devices are indicating a log on failure to iCloud email. Have checked password which functions fine to open iCloud.com account, so this is likely a server problem at iCloud. Does anyone have advice on this. Now a REAL problem for me. - Steve

YES. Mine is up now. All delayed emails no in the IN Box. ***? That was a major problem -- bad for the reputation of iCloud and Apple. I guess all systems have issues now and then - that's why it's only 5x9 reliability rather than 100%. Thanks for replies. - Steve (lets hope it stays up)

HT2488 How do I create an iCal Alarm to delay send an e-mail in my Drafts folder of Mail?

I've learned how to use iCal Alarm to schedule sending an e-mail. However, all of the instructions I read say that I have to type the e-mail inside the automator's "New Mail Message". Is there a way to type the message in Mail, save it in drafts, and then create an iCal Alarm to schedule sending it?
I got as far as "Get Specified Mail Items" --> "Display Mail Messages". This sequence displayed a message in Drafts. What next to get it to send that message it displayed? I tried adding "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success. And I tried adding "New Mail Message" --> "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.
Sometimes there will be several e-mails I want to delay send (some that I started earlier in the day, saved in Drafts and finished up in the wee hours of the morning) and it seems a waste to have to create a new iCal Alarm for each.
Thank you!

E-mail alarms always sent late

iCal has been consistently sending me e-mail alarms to late. Generally I set an alarm to send me e-mail about upcoming events 2 or 3 days beforehand, but iCal sends me the e-mail after the event has passed! "Message" and "Message with sound" alarms execute at the correct time. I know the computer is set to the correct date/time, because it syncs to a network time server. I know my Mail.app works fine-- I can send e-mail manually w/o delay. How do I get notifications of my upcoming events when I'm away from my desk computer (other than by buying a new PDA?!?!?)

I feel your pain....this enrages me! lol
The only way to make them send on my end is to have the mail application open the day of the event and then it sends to my email box which then comes to my blackberry. defeats the purpose but maybe the two of us are missing something. I may call apple care on this one....

I cannot send or receive mail

For about a month, I was unable to send but could receive mail. Now I am unable to send or receive mail. I also have to force quit mail quite often. I called our internet carrier and made sure our settings were accurate, but I'm still having problems. Any suggestionsz?

Well, installing the Coupon Printer would have no effect on this, so that's not the problem. It could be that your Mail preferences are corrupt, so you should test that like this:
1. Write down all you Mail preferences for all accounts, including your usernames and passwords.
2. Quit Mail.
3. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and remove the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
4. Restart Mail, enter all your account information again and test to see if the problem is still there. If it goes away, that was the problem, and you can then delete the preferences file on your Desktop.
Post back with results.

Deleted mails reappear in All Mails

I have two accounts and both are from Gmail. One is IMAP and the other one is POP3 account. My problem is that even if I delete the unwanted mails from the account and then go to trash and delete them, I still find all the mails back in 'All Mails'. Please let me know how to erase deleted mails permanently. I have Mountain Lion on MacBook Pro.

This one here explains how to change the "delete behaviour" if you want to change it

How can I manage my icloud mail account on my iPad since my apple id user is my gmail account?

Hello,
I'm unable to send and receive mails from my icloud account since when when trying to add this mailbox to my account IOS pops a message that says the my gmail account is already added.
My apple user ID is my gmail account, could this be the problem?
How can I be able to manage my icloud account in my iPad?
Regards,
DM

Let's try deleting the iCloud account from your iPad, then adding it back.
If you have any photo stream photos on your iPad, save them to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream alburm, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. The force close the Mail app by double-tapping the home button, locating Mail in the list at the bottom, tap and hold Mail until it wiggles, tap to close it, then tap the home button agian.
Then to delete the iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted. This only deletes the account and your iPad data from your iPad, not from iCloud. Then go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in and turn on your sync settings, confirming that Mail is set to On. Your iCloud data will reappear on your iPad after a brief delay as it redownloads. Open Mail and see if your iCloud account is there now.

Ical e-mail alarm and sending e-mails to self will not sync with Gmail

Hello, my mac mail is not able to fetch a e-mail alarm sent from ical.
when the alarm goes off it is sent to my Gmail account and I am able
to view it in my browser but not in my Mail program on my Mac. Has
anybody else had or have this problem and is there anything to
rectify? it. I have spoken to Apple support and they seem to think it
is a Gmail issue. I am not able to fetch emails sent to myself in my
Mail program on my Mac either, I am only able to view on my browser.
All other emails are fetched properly. Perplexing!

I've had several clients tell me that they can't send from themselves - to themselves on a gmail account. They can see the messages in the gmail webmail interface, but the messages won't download to the mail program.
I suspect it's part of gmail's spam controls. It's a common spammer technique to send messages with the From: address the same as the To: address.
Another thought, hasn't gmail touted the user's ability to use the 5 or 7 GB of online storage? Maybe you use it by sending yourself an email and wouldn't want it downloaded back to your mail program?
Sorry for the lack of perfect information about gmail, I only set up an account so that I could help clients with it, not to use it for myself

TS3899 Tried all the tips on line. Every time I try to send an e-mail, it gives me this message, "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed" Any help in how to resolve would be appreciated

I went through all the steps to try to resolve getting the message in a box every time i try to send an e-mail. What next ?
Message is " A copy has been placed in your
Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My internet works fine as I can send e-mails from my Yahoo account on my MAC no problem.
Address is fine etc.

How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

Whenever I send an e-mail with my yahoo account which is also my apple ID a small icon (personal) picture is attached to the e-mail. How do I remove this picture from being attached to all of my outgoing messages?

Everytime I send a message from my yahoo account (which is also my appleID account) a small icon picture (which is a pic of my ex-boyfriend) is attached to the e-mail heading. I'm able to notice I want to remove this from happening. The picture is displayed on my iphone when I open up the mail.
Steps I take:
1. I write an e-mail message from my yahoo account to my other .edu account on a desktop computer.
2. I send the e-mail message from my yahoo account to my other .edu account on a desktop computer.
3. When I open up my .edu account on my iPHONE, there is a new message from my yahoo account.
4. Upon opening the e-mail message on my iPHONE, in the title heading it has the title of the email along with a small (upper right) picture on the iPHONE.
Another thing that I tested was the same thing on my iPAD for text messages:
1. I set up my text messages to my yahoo account (which is also my apple ID account)
2. I send a text message to a person and the same small icon picture is shown on the ipad with each message that is sent
3. The person receiving the text message does not get the small icon picture; however, on the ipad it shows this picture (WHICH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED)
I need to determine how this icon picture is associated with both my yahoo and apple ID account. The funny thing is that I don't have this picture on any of my devices (mac, iphone, ipad). It has been completely removed from all of my technology sources. I'm thinking it has to be something to do with the origniation of my apple ID.
PLEASE HELP ME....this picture is hurting my professionalism when I send outgoing messages.
Thanks.

search google for "iphone remove picture from contact"

When sending an e-mail I used to just click on contacts then click on the name or group I wanted to send the e-mail to and move it to the "To" area of the e-mail. All of a sudden I now get a full screen in "contacts" and can no longer move a name .

MacBookPro 15
OS - Yosemite
Problem area - "Contacts"
Problem - when sending an e-mail in "Mail" I used to open contacts to get an address. A small window opened, I clicked on addressee and moved the addressee name to the e-mail. Can no longer do this because I now get a full screen in Contact.
Question - how do I get back to the small window in Contact?

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

Try deleting the mail account and setting it back up again.
