In Box Mail -- Where is it?

I have gone back to Mail 1.3.11 recently after TB 1.5 kept crashing my Mac and I want to "Bounce" tons of SPAM that all of a sudden started coming in.
I left Mail originally because my InBox messages disappeared. The Junk and Trash boxes worked fine, but I could not see any InBox mail. It was coming through but disappearing some where because I could see it in the banner read.
Then there is an "!" next to my other e-mail address and different server and no InBox mail visable there either.
Mainly, I just want to be able to read my Inbox mail again.
TIA - Sharon

Where does Apple promote the use of Bounce for
fighting SPAM? Could you please provide a link
or something that would allow me to see that?
Are you saying this is WRONG?
Yes. Bouncing SPAM is utterly WRONG, and I’ve already
explained why...
First things first, David.
Yes, a feature is at the top of the menu bar and a nice red stamp with "Bounce" on it.
Now it this was not to be a function of "Mail", why is it up there in plain view for any idiot to use?
Then go into Apple's "Mail" "help" on the far right of the top menu bar, and you get a nice lil promo for that function.
It reads:
"Returning unwanted email
To discourage someone from sending you email, you can reject, or "bounce" their message, as long as their return address is valid. When you bounce a message, it appears to the sender that your address is invalid. This is useful for rejecting mass mailings from companies whose mailing lists you've been added to after buying products from them.
If you use the bounce feature for unsolicited email ("spam"), the mail will come back to you as undeliverable, because the return address on spam is usually not valid.
In Mail, select the unwanted message, and choose Message > Bounce.
The sender receives a reply indicating that your email address is not valid and that the message could not be delivered. The message is moved to your deleted messages folder.
You can also create a rule that automatically deletes mail from a specific sender. Or, use the Junk Mail filter to remove messages that are likely to be junk mail. For more information about the Junk Mail filter, click "Tell me more."
Signed -- by my favorite OS APPLE :))
Now, I favor this function over Thunderbird 1.5's function of crashing my Mac upon waking in the am and using an IED on my address book when it does.
For this reason, I am coming back to Apple's "Mail" with the nice "bounce" function instead of the wipe-out the address book function, which forces me to leave my 'puter and run out and find a whole new bunch of friends all the time.
Why are you so cranky? Earlier shift for you was Tech Support for MS "Vista" maybe?
On to fixing my mailbox. I'll let you know if that worked.
Thanks a bunch! LL

There used to be a preview window in mail where you could read the message in the mail box but now its gone. It just shows me who its from and the date. I now have to click on the message twice to get it to display. How do I get the preview box back?

There is a bug in Mail triggered by receiving a password-protected PDF as an attachment. According to reports, the bug is fixed in OS X 10.8.5.

Old Entourage is POP and new Mavericks MAIL is IMAP I believe. I don;t know how to export in the forms you mention. Frances

Just installed ios 7 on my 4s, and I have two issues: 1) control centre: the music controls do not work, only the volume adjust slider works; 2) in mail, where do you find the setting to control how many messages you want your inbox to retain?

Same problem here on my 4s: Control center music controls do not work.
Since this thread has two issues, I'm going to start a new one with only the music control bug. Topic: iOS 7 Control Center Music Controls Not Working On iPhone 4s

About every 10 photos in my iPhoto library I get a grey dotted box. wheres the photo?

about every 10 photos in my iPhoto library I get a grey dotted box. wheres the photo?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

HT1349 my phone keeps freezing on settings, I cannot make or receive a call but everything else is working including internet and mail. where it should be showing the reception bars it is only showing a broken line. How do I resolve this?

my phone keeps freezing on settings, I cannot make or receive a call but everything else is working including internet and mail. where it should be showing the reception bars it is only showing a broken line. How do I resolve this?

If you are not showing reception bars, then I don't know how the data is working? Have you tried doing a reset? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, check to see if it works. If that doesn't help, then try removing the SIM card, then reinserting it. If that doesn't help, then contact your carrier for assistance in calling.

Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

I mean that I sent an email to a contact of mine yesterday. His reply contained a stream of very old emails I had received in 2009 from a totally different contact all together !! The reply email was in my inbox as being from the original person I sent the email to. This is starting to happen more regularly now , so is a problem !

When I send a photo from iphoto through e mail I cannot find a record in the sent box. Where is the record of the sent photo?

Where is the record of an e mail I send using i photo share? It isn't in the 'sent' box of my e mail account

What I am missing is the sharing history in iPhoto.
It's hidden and buried in the Info drawer for the photo.
And there's no way to search for those photos that have been emailed. If you want a sent copy BCC yourself on every email you send out.
OT

In Mail where can i find my sent emails? How do I open this send box?

In Mail how do I open the send box? I need to find and forward my sent emails.

If you hold the iPad in landscape orientation you should see your email account id (or Mailboxes if you only have one email account set up on the iPad) shown top left. Tap on your account id (or Mailboxes), and then tap on Sent to show your Sent emails. You should then be able to select an email and Reply/Reply All/Forward/Print them via the arrow icon top right.

I can't find a search function any more. It used to be in the the top right of the mail box. Where is it now?

I want to be able to search through all my mailboxes as I used to do.

Launch Mail. Click "View" in the Mail menu bar.
Select "Customize Toolbar" from the dropdown.
When the sheet drops down, drag the "Search" box into the Tool bar.
or drag the default set into the tool bar into the tool bar.

I composed an e-mail and sent but it has not posted as sent nor is it showing in my out going box. Where do I find it and has it been sent?

I composed an e-mail and thought it was sent. It is not posting in my out box nor my sent mail. I have retyped and sent two follow up cpies and none have been delivered and seem to be lost.

thanks,but not showing in sent, not showing in out box, and not showing in drafts. Its really disappeared, not just once but twice to the same person, different e-mails. I did have a weak connection and it held on sending for a while before going to can not down load mail, usually unsent mail will be held in the out box

Chunks of In Box mail gone after upgrading from 10.3. to 10.4

I have a client that "lost" a chunk of Apple Mail emails (only from the In Box) after an Archive and Install from Panther to Tiger (10.3.9 to 10.4.9). We did a rebuild. No love. Sent emails exist but that inbox is decimated. It's receiving mail fine but past mail? Nada.
The one account is POP.

The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problem. A similar procedure should allow you to fix other mailboxes that might also be affected:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
6. Move any strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
8. Open Mail.
9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop.
As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Take a look at the following article (also referenced in the thread I mentioned at the beginning of this post) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Is there a way to annotate a PDF by adding a text box any where on the screen rather than having to click on the text box Icon each time? It was like this before I downloaded Yosemite.

I use the Preview app to annotate my notes for class. It use to be where I could add text where ever I wanted on the screen just by double clicking. Now since I downloaded Yosemite I have to click on the text box icon at the top each time and it adds the text box in the middle and I have to move it to where I want it. This is very inconvenient for class. Any suggestions on how to get the old preview back or fix this problem?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
