In a Mail message, can we default to show "details"?

In order to see the cc list when reading a message, I now have to click on "details."
Is there a way of making that the default? I didn't see anything applicable in preferences.
Thanks,
doug

If the message is still 'stuck' in your gmail account, you should be able to log into the web service and delete it. Don't know why it won't delete on the Mail side. Quitting Mail should delete the sent msg - don't know why it doesn't.
Give it a shot...

Missing mail messages-can anyone help?

Short story: I upgraded a Mac from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 and now none of my old received mail messages are in my inbox.
Long story: Installed Tiger using "Archive and install". Repaired permissions. Installed the combo updater to 10.4.3 using software update. Repaired permissions again. After the system was upgraded to 10.4.3 I opened mail. It said it was importing messages. However, when it was done, there were only 6 messages from the last few days. The other 400 or so messages that had been in mail (in the inbox) in the previous version were not in the mailbox. I tried rebuilding the mailbox. This resulted in losing all of these 6 messages. I tried importing from the old account mailbox and mail re-created the mailbox structure, again with only 6 messages in the inbox.
I have tried re-importing my inbox which is listed as 18.2 mb in size but I get a dialog box that says there are no valid mail messages to be imported. I have tried importing messages from my backup disk, a backup created before the 10.4.3 upgrade but it gives me the same “no valid messages to be imported.” I have tried rebooting but there are still only 6 messages in the inbox to be seen.
Of note, the sent mail box is full of messages and appears to have been upgraded appropriately.
The application mail and all associated mailboxes etc are in their default locations. I have not moved or modified any of the locations of files.
Any ideas on what happened and more importantly how to restore or otherwise make visible all of my mail messages?
Thanks,
Pete

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy,
The same here -- Mail.app 2.0.5 eating messages.
Here I go: have just finalized my update from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 after using 10.4.3 as a secondary system but keeping email and addresses and stuff on 'prime time' 10.3.9 system up until today.
After some trying (and always starting over from clean files again), this is the way I have migrated my email:
In 10.3.9:
1) Clean up the old mail boxes and move all messages from "Sent" and "Inbox" to real mail folders "Old Sent" and "Old Inbox".
In 10.4.3:
2) Take the Mail preferences from the old system to the new one (to have all the accounts)
3) Take the Address Book preferences and application support files from old to new.
This all worked well.
4) Start Mail.app. This builds an empty mail box hierarchy.
5) Use the "File/Import" command to import all my old mailboxes.
First it seemed OK. My "Old Inbox" folder was there with about 120 messages (that was yesterday). Today I fire up Mail.app and find 5 messages left in "Old Inbox". I check a few other mail boxes.
Conclusion:
The new Mail.app just drops email messages. No error. No warning. Nothing. How can I rely on this software? I can't!
I have big mail folders and small ones. Mail.app seems to randomly decide to discard messages. One mail folder which Mail.app 1.3.11 happily handles (~1800 messages, ~43MB) has shrunk to 400 messages. I spied into the Mail.app 2.0.5 mail database (the file/folder structure it uses to store things) and I can see the missing messages are not just hidden -- they are truly gone from the database. Above mentioned folder gets exactly one message every day. So I can see if there are messages missing. It has kept the messages of the last 400 days. In the "Old Inbox" folder mentioned earlier I can see no pattern of which messages are gone
Thank god I still have 10.3.9 on a (now) external disk.
Are some of the controllers of Mail.app quality reading this? Aye? Please do something. How can it be that a comparatively simple function (storing email messages) is breaking down so badly in a piece of software that is a few years old?
If I could at least run Mail.app 1.3.11 on my 10.4.3 system then I could wait for Mail.app 2.0.6 and keep hoping. But the old Mail.app will not start up on 10.4.3.
Or someone please tell me what I've done wrong.
Cheers,
Jörg

OS Lion: Can't drag attachments into Mail message, Can't drag files into Trash

Dragging an attachment into a Mail causes a crash adn I have to force quit. I can attach files via the menu, but keep forgetting and have to keep force quitting.
Also (probably not connected), I can't move files into the Trash... Just get a Moving "xxxx" to "Trash" dialog and the progress bar never changes...
Have created a new User and the problem persists.
Any ideas?

Boot up holding command-r keys into Lion Recovery Volume. Reinstall Lion and it will "install in place" so none of your own data or settings should be effected.

Printing Apple Mail messages: can date headers/footers be printed?

Hi Folks,
When printing an email from Eudora, nice headers & footers are added containing the name of the person printing, as well as the date it was printed, and to whom the printed email was from.
Can headers & footers be added to print jobs from Apple Mail 3.5? I don't see any settings that would enable this functionality.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Doug

Actually, because these folks use a shared printer, it's helpful for a header to say who printed it. Then the clerk can put the printed pages into people's mailboxes.
So yes, this is very useful, and not redundant in the least. Eudora and other email clients have this, and it's a shame that Apple Mail does not.

Share Extensions (Mail, Messages, and Flickr) Not Showing

The ShareKit extensions for Mail, Messages and Flickr are not showing in the Share Menu, or the Extensions System Preference. Everything else is fine. I do have a Flicker account set up in Internet accounts. I’ve repaired permissions, and tested it in other accounts on my Mac - same thing. Can’t share to Mail, Messages or Flickr. I’ve even tried the terminal command from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203129. Shows them loading, but not showing in the System Preferences or the Share menu. Yes, I even closed both System Preferences and Safari.
Any suggestions? I really would like to resolve this.
Thanks.
Dave

A better way than Import would've been to use Migration Assistant, which you still can.
Or you could try Import emlx to mbox, See if this helps...
http://www.cosmicsoft.net/emlxconvert.html
Import one box at a time and then drag the mails from the Imported mbox to Inbox or whatever.

Hello using the settings from my email provider (Virgin Media), I set up my email account on my Mac. The problem arises trying to move the emails from the Inbox to the various mailboxes I set up. All this is occurring within Apple's Mail app, not the Desktop.
Could it be anything to do with the IMAP-enabled synching between my email account on my computer and on Virgin Media's servers where my actions on my computer are not being communicated to the server? I am not an expert and only guessing here! Thanks for pitching in.

I tried to send a mail message to too many addees. when the rejection came back "cannot send message using the server..." the window is too long to be able to see the choices at the bottom of it. how can i see the choices at the bottom of that window?

I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is a POP acct
I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

Changing default Mail message storage location

Hello,
I'd like to start storing my mail messages by default on a wireless enabled HD that I just recently purchased. Is this even possible? I have a desktop machine as well as a laptop that I use around the house. Ideally, I'd like to have identical mail setups on each computer, that way I'm never scrounging around for sent messages or having to switch back and forth to remember which computer I sent a reply from.
What I'm hoping is that if both mail programs are accessing the same message storage destination, then the messages will be the same on both computers. Can this be achieved?
Thank you for your help!

This is what IMAP is for
Theoretically, I suppose you could do it by creating a directory on the external harddrive and then symlink ~/Library/Mail to it on each machine. Might be a little slow over the network though.

Can no longer change fonts in Mail messages

All of the sudden (within the last couple of days), I find I can no longer change the font - or even the style (bold, italic) of any new mail message. I can change the color, but that's about it. The font stays as whatever the default Message Font is. I did try changing the default to verify it was not a font corruption issue.
I don't think it's a font panel issue since I can change Fonts, Styles, etc. in other apps that use the Font Panel.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks up front.

Some more tests .. it's definitely not the app itself .. I booted from my external .. and I launched the Mail app on my main .. and it worked fine (of course, all my accounts, etc weren't there) .. so you're right .. it's either a prefs thing (though not the "com.apple.mail.plist" file since opening a brand new user still has the same problem).. or maybe even a corrupt .pkg file in Receipts .. wait a sec .. replaced the Mail.pkg file just to check .. still nope. So it's gotta be something low level.
At this point, I'm thinking what may be easier on both of us is ... I'm waiting for the Apple Box Set (Leopard/iLife 09/iWork 09) to start shipping before I upgrade .. that should be pretty soon .. so I'll just hand on till then (it's really not all that big a deal I guess in the big picture .. just irritating) .. and see if upgrading corrects the issue .. if not, then I guess I'm off bug hunting again.
Again .. thanks ever so much for your time and effort.
I'll post back here with the results either way.

Outlook can not display htmldb mail message correctly

We are using some applications which constructed by HTML DB. All mail messages from HTML DB applications can not be displayed correctly in Outlook, but they are displayed very well in Netscape mail client. This issue happens in both HTML DB 1.5 and 1.6. Therefore, I am not sure this is HTML DB mail package issue or outlook issue. Have anyone experienced this issue. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is a sample in our application.

This was not well documented, but we have improved the doc for the next relase. Essentially, you need a carriage return / line feed every 1000 characters. This is part of the SMTP spec. The package does not do this automatically for you, so try adding them yourself. You can use utl_tcp.crlf for the crlf.

I cannot open any of my Hotmail e-mail messages, delete them, look at other old ones, nothing. All I can do is sign in and that is it. I have tried deleting cookies, clearing the cache space, rebooting the computer, rebooting my internet connection, refreshing the page several times. Here is the thing. I can get on the page and read my mail, etc. like normal if i use Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox. The problem is Firefox and I rely on my e-mail for job purposes. I hope someone can help me!!!

Nevermind. I finally found a third party answer and will post it for anyone else with my problem.
