In lion mac mail show or hide message preview

in mac mail the message preview says to double-click the separator bar to show or hide preview. I do and it closes ok, but will not open again. I double click on both sides it does not open again. Is there a macro to open and close the preview pane?

great you have just solved my problem I tried to get the preview pain back for hours lol it does however work for me if I double tap the right side about half way down the side of the window there is a spot when you close the preview window and I double clicked there and it re appears thanks for solving this issue I knew it would be something easy when you know how

When I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?

when I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?
mac mail also freezes from time to time and closes for no reason

It is not a virus. It's a bug in Mail that fails to reset that count, so it keeps incrementing each time you send a message. When it says it's sending 6 messages, that really just means you're sending the 6th message since you last opened Mail.

10.9.2 Mail - Shows 5 flagged messages; clicked - no messages in the list

My upgrade from OS X Lion 10.7.5 to OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 was fairly straightforward. No major issues.
However, Mail shows 5 flagged messages. When clicking on Flagged indicator, there are no message in the list. Strange. Everything else appears to work as expected.

Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

Mountain Lion / Mac mail disconnects from MS Exchange server.

We use an MS Exchange account for our company email. We bought 2 new retina display MacBook Pros running Mountain Lion last Fall. My old laptop is still running Lion. Lion / Mac Mail works fine on the old laptop, never losing contact with the MS Exchange server. Mountain Lion / Mac Mail randomly loses contact with our exchange server on a regular basis. This results in a slow and painful re-download of 2 years worth of email while I have to resort to my old laptop to keep up with new incoming email. I check these discussions occasionally when I can find a spare moment and I have found some similar symptoms being complained about, but no solutions yet. There have been a couple of OS updates since we bought the new laptops, but alas, no mention of this problem. It seems no one is doing anything about it. Have I missed a post? Anyone have any suggestions? This is getting really old.
Thanks!

I was having the same issue! I finally found a solution to it!
1. Delete your exchange account from the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane in System Preferences.
2. Go to Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, click "Go to Folder" and type in "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box. This will take you to your user Library folder.
3. Use the search box in the finder and type in "com.apple.notes" and click "Library" in the search bar that appears. This should now find several folders and files related to the Notes app. Rename or delete everything except the help files (with the lifesaver icons on them). Just to be safe, I'll list the files and folders you should delete or rename and their directory paths:
com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/
com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers
com.apple.Notes.plist - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Preferences
com.apple.Notes.savedState - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved
4. Restart your Mac. Put your exchange account back into System Preferences, you can go ahead and activate the Notes sync service.
5. Open Notes and it should be working now!
NOTE: I also deleted all the stored information related to the exchange account in Keychain Access when I deleted the 4 com.apple files. This may or may not be necessary, but I just thought it was worth mentioning.

Search Question for Lion Mac Mail

In recent weeks, I've figured out most of the thorny issues with Lion Mac Mail, but maybe someone can help me with this one:
When I search "Sent Mail', the results come back with my name showcased in bold (which serves no purpose, I mean I'm searching from my Sent folder, so we can assume they're all from me). In earlier versions, however, the name of the recipient would be showcased. Much more useful.
Let me give you an example. I'm trying to find emails where I mentioned a Golden Spatula. I know I wrote to several people about this sacred utensil. Okay, in the past, the search engine would list all the emails where this term arises, and they would be distinguished by who I sent them to.
Now, I see a list of all the emails, but my name in bold is the only term I can quickly peruse.
Know what I'm talking about? Any suggestions?
Thanks.....T

If no one answers here please post in the Lion Forum forum, because Mail is considered part of OS X that is good place to look too. Also look to your right under More Like This to see if there are any answers there.

The inbox for Mac Mail lists every incoming message twice. When I delete a message it deleted both entries. I have tried the solution in "help" and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I am wondering if anyone is seeing my question? This is my first time and I am not sure if I am communicating correctly. If you are seeing the question above regading deleted messages reappearing please reply so I will at least know I am getting the message out.
Thank you.

I am using outlook express for my mail. When using internet explorer on PC I could set it up so I could simultaneously see all my inboxes, the mail details and a message preview. Can I do this on my Mac?

About accessing using a browser: I can get in using Firefox or Safari, butI cant set the page up to see all my inboxes at the same time (so I can file emails appropriately) or get a preview to save opening every mail

Critical : i think "Mail show n Recent Messages" just got it wrong

hi, it's been a while that i had tried the smallest setting for this "Mail > Show 25 Recent Messages" for something (i thought maybe it helped Mail to work faster) I cannot feel it exactly, but i just think of it as a good behaviour for me to read and trash unused messages right away so i can manage the mails.
But, unexpectedly, Mail App has acted strange. I was not sure about this until this morning i found 89 New Mails from my boss and only some spilled into my Mail App because "right now i got more than 25 Messages stored in my app" and yet not deleted them.
I just wanted to discuss about this because, in some ways, New Mails are essentially need to be read, and we have to store some, too. But if "Mail > 25 Recent Messages" means i will only strangled myself to whatever i wished to keep, this function has got it wrong. it surely does not mean that i do not want to read any new messages which has just come, right?
In a way, you might tell me to change it to bigger number of storage, which i already did, but i only hoped that you might find other good ways for us to "let me know that i have to clean up my inbox so Mail App can fetch new mails in for you" or something.
Here are my suggestions in a flash:
• notice us by a badge, and when we entered the mail app, notice us again that you know new mails are at the server, but because i had reached my mail limit, i have to trash something or expand the limitation.
• gray-out something old, and put something new on top, it sounds strange though.
hope this helps, thanks,

You could always just scroll to the bottom of the Inbox screen and click on the load more messages link.

Mail showing one unread message when all messages are marked as read

Wondering if anyone else was having any weird issues with their iCloud and unread count in the Mail app on their mac running lion? I can't seem to get rid of a phantom unread message. My iCloud account is fairly new so I don't have that many messages to go through so I know there is not an unread message any where. Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,
Rabah

I have had the same issue with my Microsoft exchange email after upgrading to Lion. It's a bit annoying. My iPad, Android Phone, and viewing it using a browser all show 0 unread, but Mail shows 3 unread. I have tried deleting the account, rebuilding, and pawing through settings looking for something I missed. Nothing. I actually had the same problem with my MobileMe email with Snow Leopard but I eventually permanently removed the account as other problems arose and just used it in my browser.
Sorry I couldn't help but I hope it's resolved.

Mac Mail showing 2 signatures

Hi there. I am running Mac Mail with 3 e-mail addresses and 3 signatures. 1 is a 123-reg address, one Yahoo and one is G-Mail.
My default mail account is a 123-reg address, but when I select to send from a DIFFERENT email address (either G-Mail or Yahoo), it is showing my 123-reg related signature ABOVE the desired custom signature for the selected e-mail address.
I have checked the signature settings and everything looks correct. Everything worked fine on my 13" MacBook Pro (Lion) but since upgrading last week to a 15" retina with Mountain Lion, I am getting this issue. Any ideas on how to solve would be greatly appreciated, as I have tried checking the forum and Google yet cannot find anyone else with the same issue...
Apologies if I have listed this question in the wrong community - first post.

Hi mugearsuk
Did you resolve this issue?
My signatures were working perfectly until a microsoft exchange account was added to my email addresses and now if I change the email address I want to send from the new signature comes in under the previous one.
Frustrated!!!
I hope you solved this and can offer any insight.

Mail shows 70 new messages but I have none. This only started a few weeks ago. Rebooting didn't fix the problem.

Mail shows 70 messages but I have none. Why is that? Can it be corrected?

When you say you have none, are you sure that you are viewing "All Inboxes"? If not, try going back (top left option) until you see that option. If there are no new messages in "All Inboxes" then the messages might be in folders or smart folders.
Folders/Smartfolders
If you have sorting rules set up on your Mac's Mail app, then these "new" messages are in those folders. These messages will not show up in "All Inboxes." This might be what is happening. To find out, open up each folder/smartfolder on your Mac and see if there are new messages in them because iOS devices (iPod/iPhone/iPad) will not sort mail like your Mac.

Mac Mail: Check for new messages doesn't work

Hi,
In Mac Mail the setting at "Preferences -> Check For New Messages" I have set for manual and yet Mail still fetches emails when I haven't asked it too. I previously had this setting set to check for messages every hour but it ignored that setting too so I set it to manual but this setting is ignored. Ideally I'd like to check mail every four hours but there isn't a setting for that.
I'm running Lion and have IMAP email accounts.
Any idea how I can get Mac Mail not to ignore my Check For New Messages setting?
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. Well I never would have found that out without some help. I saw the IDLE in the IMAP settings I didn't know it was a kind of PUSH / FETCH thing. Anyway I've got it on manual now and only seems to get emails when I send one or press the button. I've only changed it a little while ago so I hope this is actually fixed.
Thanks again it was driving me nuts!

Lion Mac Mail Yahoo IMAP issues

Each time I lauch Mac Mail on my Mac (running OS X 10.7.4), it downloads my entire inbox (thousands of messages) from the Yahoo IMAP mail server. Also, when sending emails, Mac Mail does not always create a copy on the Yahoo mail server. Sometime the copy is there and sometime it isn't.
Anyone else having this issue?

This is definitely not Yahoo-specific, nor is it new. Definitely seems to be a bug in Mail.app. This has been happening at least since 10.5 (am now on 10.8.2), and I have a GoDaddy hosted IMAP account.
Same symptoms...I delete emails on my Mac in Mail.app. I've gotten into the habit of forcing a manual sync. The emails disappear from the Mac, but several minutes or sometimes many minutes later, if I look on my iPhone or iPad, the messages have not been deleted. If I subsequently go look on my Mac, or at the server through a webmail browser - they're back.
However, if I delete the emails from my iPhone or iPad - they really do get deleted.
As stated up above - quitting and reopening Mail.app can force a real sync that gets things going back in sync...it seems like maybe Mail.app somehow forgets to actually sync...so when this starts happening - i.e. I notice deleted emails still appear on my iPad - if I quit mail and reopen it, it also shows the previously deleted email. So the symptoms seem like there is a "cache" of actions (deletes) in Mail.app that is not getting processed to the server. When you quit, this list seems to get flushed and whatever is causing Mail.app not to sync to the server gets remedied and on restart, the not-deleted emails show up because Mail.app now syncs with the server. Occasionally it seems Mail.app somehow can come out of this without being restarted...I'm not sure if that happens when it's "kicked" by some other event, e.g. an incoming message, to sync.
Extremely annoying.
