Images in mac mail (reading pane especially)

When I open mac mail (and sometimes the internet) images do not automatically resize to fit the screen (reading pane). I have to scroll around to see the full image. I have tried adjusting the panes and font size, but it doesn't work. This normally occurs with newsletter type emails. Does anyone know how to get the emails to fit the page again? They remain not correctly sized when I open them out of the reading pane to full size as well (meaning I still have to scroll around). Font only emails seem to not be affected.
I did not have this problem until the Genius bar erased my user id and created a new account last weekend.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

If you view the full headers of the message, what is its "Content-Type"? If it's text/plain, that would be the problem: HTML email should be text/html. If it's multipart/alternative, make sure you're viewing the HTML alternative.
Under View in the Menu bar, select Message > All Headers to get Content-Type.
Is it all emails or emails from specific senders?
Are the emails forwarded?

No images in Mac Mail

I used to be able to see images in Mac Mail. I think it stopped after upgrading to Lion. Now the e-mail looks like this:
Instead of this:
And yes, I have checked the "display images in remote HTML:
Any advice? This has been going on for months! Thanks!

Attaching jpg images in Mac Mail - sending to a PC

I've been looking for some current information on this problem. Most of the posts seem to be years old. Is there a working solution to attach images to an email and allow a PC user to download them like a regular attachment?

I am having the same problem with only a select few of clients. Sending pdf - fine, they arrive as attachments. Send a jpg and they are embedded within the email and they have to copy and paste the image out of their email into another program - thus risking the quality of their computers capacity to provide a good image. Then another client has no problem. Read everything, click on everything. I can buy a iconizer, but why do I need to buy a program to simple get the jpg to the client. And why do I need to read every post back to 2003 on why Outlook does this so I can use my simple - attach file within the mac mail. So now I have to go within my computer - control click and save the file into a zip - sometime adding another folder to group them all together. More clutter on my computer.
This is what is frustrating. Go on mac posts to find answers - they have you click on all these buttons and stuff. Go to pc outlook google searches and they have them clicking and doing all sorts of fixes. Can't these two computer software groups figure this out.
If it was happening on every client - then I would think it was me. If was happening on every outlook client - I mean everyone outlook receiver - then it is outlook, but it only happens with a few. What button within outlook does the client need to click on or off - it is that simple.
I might sound frustrated but I'm not. By the post out on the net that I read - this is happening a lot but no one specific answer seems to work. And it is all related to me with the client's outlook email service.

Can't change font/column size in new .Mac Mail & 3-Pane option is a Pain!

My new .mac mail doesn't seem to allow changes in column width or in font size so it ends up cutting off the bottoms of some letters and cuts off all the entries in the 'From', 'Subject' and 'Date' columns. Also, it seems that because of this stubborn formatting, the "Action" button is not on the same line as the other buttons such as "Delete" or "Reply" etc. The "Action" button is on the next line and partially covers up the word "From" and the address of the first email in the column. Preferences doesn't seem to have anything for changing sizes or column widths.
Also, when I use the "3 Panes" option from the preferences in .mac mail I'm supposed to be able to compose a new email in the bottom pane but when I click on "New" to write a new email, it opens up a completely different window to compose the new email.
So can anyone help me with these two issues? I would really appreciate it. I liked the old email the way it was but I guess that's no longer an option. Thanks,
Steve

Unloaded images in mac mail

My mac mail recently has been giving me the "this message contains unloaded images" every time I get an email unless it is just text. I haven't changed any preferences or security of any kind. Does anyone else have this problem?

I don't think it's a problem, because those images are probably from an HTML email message and your Preferences are probably set not to load them when opening a message. If that's the case, there should be a button at the top right of the message window to load those images.
Also, are you still running 10.4.7 as your profile states? If so, you need to upgrade to 10.4.11 immediately and update your profile; this will fix a number of bugs an security vulnerabilities, as well as letting you run the latest version of Safari.

Create Incoming Mail Rule Based on Embedded HTML in Emails in Mac Mail?

I want to filter a selection of incoming emails in MAC MAIL that have an image embedded into the email. The image is the only thing that will distinguish the emails apart and so I'm wondering if it is possible to filter based on embedded html in an email? If so how? Thanks!

There are no embedded images in HTML mail; it's an attachment. If you want to filter out messages with attachments of one or more types, you need to create a Rule that looks for that criteria and then transfers those messages to your desired location.
For example, if you wanted to filter out messages that contained .gif images, you'd setup a Rule where "Any Attachment Name" "Ends with" ".gif" and then choose what you want to happen to those messages.
And the program is Mail; not MAC MAIL.

When I click on a link in an email, nothing happens; Firefox used to open the page. I am using a Mac computer, latest OS, and the Mac mail program.

I have tried quiting Firefox and setting Safari to my default browser. Links open on Safari just fine. When I go back to Firefox as my default, I continue to have the same issue, links will not open in Firefox.

You can also quit and relaunch Firefox and then
the link will open in mac mail.

Making mac mail the default instead of entourage

How do you make mac mail your default instead of entourage . It is set up in mac mail reader to receive mail under mac mail 2.1. It still defaults to entourage . I cannot find any place in entourage to change it .

Your default mail program is set in Mail->Preferences->General. Choose which program you want from the drop-down menu, then quit Mail and restart it.
Of course, you'd be helping yourself if you deleted Entourage or at least removed all your account information from it, so that if you ever launched it by accident, it would not be able to send or receive email.

MAC MAIL IS CAUSING MY MAC TO RUN CONSTANTLY

OK, I thought I would start a new thread on this problem I'm having because I think I have it narrowed down to Mac Mail being the culprit. I am noticing that every time I open mail, my Mac starts running it's guts out. The only way I can stop it is to close the mail app, and sometimes I have to Force it closed.
I went into the mail app and deleted everything I could, but then it would not open.
I then went into trash and put everything back, and it still wouldn't open. I then ran the application install disc and installed the apps and got Mail to open, but it's right back to hijacking my Mac like before and running non stop.
It starts in the hammering and will not stop until I close Mail. My problem is, I don't know what all belongs in the app and what doesn't. Is there a way I can completely wipe the app off, then reinstall it?
I would really appreciate it if I could get some advice on this mess. I am used to using Mac mail, and would like to continue using it for my Gmail account if I can get it working right.

I just saw something happening in my Mac Mail that is very strange. Down on the bottom left corner in my mail app in activities box, I saw the app in the process of downloading hundreds of old spam and junk messages from my Gmail account. It has just started doing this just since I installed Mavericks. How can I stop this process? I went into Gmail and deleted everything I could, but it's still happening when I open my Mac Mail.

Mac Mail address confusion

I have two accounts in Mac mail, let's call them Amail and Zmail. And only one SMTP outgoing mail server, namely, my ISP's server (which is different from the mail servers for both those two acounts).
From account Zmail I send a message and copy me in on it. Apprently the From on it gets changed from my Zmail address that was on the outgoing message to my AMail address. At least that's what I see on the copy sent to me, and because of the change my message is being rejected by a recipient who requires e-mail address registration, where I'm registered with my Zmail address.
What Preference or other setting will fix this?

2 smtp servers, each with the correct credentials for 1 account.
So it simply won't do to send outgoing messages through the same smtp server? I thought I could do that when I was still using Thunderbird as my e-mail client under OS X rather than Mac Mail.

Mac Mail - recipient's address repeated multiple times

Sometimes when replying to email messages from a particular client of mine, the address in the "To:" frame is repeated three times. Any idea what causes this? I've seen it happen similarly with the address repeated twice. It happens whenever I'm responding to any person from the same company. It doesn't happen to all my replies, just ones going to one particular company. For example, I get a message from "[email protected]" and when I reply, the message window pops open and has "[email protected]> <[email protected] <[email protected]>" in the "To:" frame. Note that this is entirely encapsulated in one blue oval shape. I noticed that in my message browser window, the address is repeated twice in the "From" column.
My concern is that the person might be getting my message three times, which would be annoying. Or, is it just going out once because it is in one blue oval? I can look back in my history and see that this stated happening on a specific date (almost two years ago). Perhaps it was when I changed my OS or maybe it was a change on my clients mail system?
Thanks

GoDaddy won't work in Mac Mail

Hi guys,
mac Mail is doing my head in!!! I launched a website for my business using GoDaddy as my hosting and I'm trying to add my account to mail but nothing works. I've been on the phone to godly and they went through all possible solutions and came to the conclusion its an apple problem. They said apple mail might have a specific port that I need to use for an external client or something like that? Anyone got any help? I can;t get a hold of anyone from apple, their support is useless unless you pay for it!!

I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.

TS3276 Automatically close on reply in Mac mail?

on OS X Mountain Lion, where can I opt to have messages automatically close on reply or forward so that I do not have to manually close all mac mail messages I have replied to or forwarded on.

Update your system software. v10.7.2 is outdated.
Two ways to do this...
One. Click Software Update from your Apple menu.
Two. Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
Then restart your Mac.
Try adding a new account to Mac Mail.

The reading pane Mail inbox has disappeared; what's the fix?

The reading pane of my Mail "inbox" has disaappeard; what's the fix?

This indicates the account's Inbox mailbox has an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the mailbox has some corruption.
All email clients have limits and although an "overstuffed" mailbox issue can occur at any mailbox size, it is more likely to occur depending on the number and size of message attachments contained in a mailbox and especially as a mailbox approaches or exceeds 1 GB in size for Jaguar/Panther Mail and 2 GB in size for Tiger Mail.
Since an account's Inbox mailbox is usually the most active mailbox, it is not a good idea to use an account's Inbox mailbox as the final storage location for all messages received that are not deleted. You can/should utilize user created "On My Mac" mailboxes to sort received messages by category that you need to save. This can be done by creating rules to automatically sort received messages to user created mailboxes by category or transferring messages manually.
That being said, quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > INBOX.mbox.
This should be for the account named folder within the original Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail, not from the backup.
Move the INBOX.mbox to the Desktop.
When re-launching Mail, a new (and empty) INBOX.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder when receiving the next message with this account. This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again and not risk losing any new messages received while working on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop.
Control-click on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
List the package content file names and size of each here.
This information is required to determine the next step to take to recover all messages contained in the mailbox.
