Inbox messages won't always display

I am having trouble with my inbox that hopefully someone can help with.
Backround Info:
System 10.3.9 on a G4 mac mini
Mail 1.3.11
I have several accounts set up, personal ones on one server and a work account on a different server.
I recently imported my work account with all folders from Quickmail using emailchemy. I have been using Mail for the other accounts for several months.
My problem:
When I open mail, I can see my office account inbox messages. If I switch to any other folder, either a different inbox or a stored mail folder, to view a message and then go back to the office inbox I get the following for my already downloaded mail instead of the mail message.
The message from "*" <*@server.com> concerning “subject” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
The account is online continuously. If I quit mail and reopen it, I can again read the inbox messages. This problem is only occuring in the office account with the inbox and not in the personal accounts or any stored mail folders.
All thoughts and ideas are welcome.
Thanks.

This error message indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the mailbox has approached or exceeded the recommended size limit or the mailbox has some corruption.
All email clients have limits and the recommended mailbox size limit for Jaguar and Panther Mail is 1 GB and for Tiger Mail, 2 GB.
An "overstuffed" mailbox issue can occur at any mailbox size but 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.
This problem is more common with Jaguar and Panther Mail and has all but been eliminated with Tiger Mail which uses a significantly difference mbox format than previous Mail.app versions.
On to resolving your problem.
With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > INBOX.mbox.
Move the INBOX.mbox to the Desktop.
Launch Mail and a new INBOX.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder. This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again while working on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop to recover the existing messages.
Control-click on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
Post back here listing the package content file names and size of each. I need this information to determine the next steps to take to recover the messages.

Adobe Reader 11.0.05 won't always display the GUI when opening PDF?!

I have come across some odd behaviour with Adobe Reader 11.0.05. In particular, the following issues seem to have surfaced since upgrading to 11.x from 9.x.
Opening a PDF from any application, launches an "AcroRd32.exe" process but the GUI is not shown i.e. you don't see a Reader window or PDF. If you try open the PDF again it will launch another instance of that process and still won't show the GUI. Killing all AcroRd32.exe processes via Task Manager and re-opening the PDF will then work.
Some users are experiencing the following error when opening PDFs via IE and other 3rd party apps.
We've deployed 11.0.05 across a few thousand 32-bit Windows 7 PCs and it's a little concerning that PDFs won't always open. At this stage it is very random, maybe 1 out of 5 times it won't show the GUI but launch the process. Our only workaround is to advise users to kill all AcroRd32.exe processes and try again.
Our packaged 11.0.05 was created as follows:
AIP created from 11.0 msi > AIP patched with 11.0.04 msp (Q) > AIP patched with 11.0.05 msp (OOC). Transform was created using Adobe Customization Wizard 11.
Oddly, this does not occur using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 (or other versions of 9.x).
Sounds like 11.x is buggy, anyone else experiencing the same issues??
Thanks!

Yes, I am always having problems. Microsoft fixed the problem for me but it has reverted back to a trial I downloaded. I can't access my PDF at all.

Inbox messages won't appear on Mail

My ymail account won't sync to my Mail. I'm on OS X. I'm not too sure what happened. All my other accounts like hotmail and another yahoo mail are synced and I can access my messages. I tried deleting the account but it's still the same.

it depends on how is your Outlook configured to fetch the emails. Do you leave them on the email server ? If not, then once Outlook has swallowed them, the Blackberry device can't see them on the server.

Images won't always display in a region

I have a confusing problem. I have loaded 5 gifs on my local version of APEX and designated them as application only.
To display an image in a region, I use:
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#AJ01.GIF">
That gif displays. If I choose any other gif, I get the "broken image" icon.
I have tried the same steps on the Hosted site and two of the five gifs work.
I have also tried #IMAGES_PREFIX# with no application selected and that does help.
Can you point me in the right direction?

Hi,
your example code doesn't show. You have to use a space between < and img or use some other sign like [ instead.
About your problem. Use
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#yourimage.gif">if you uploaded the file to Shared Components\Images and assigned it to your application. <b>Note:</b> Check that you really assigned it to the correct application.
Or use
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#yourimage.gif">if you uploaded it into Shared Components\Images but didn't assign it to an application.
#IMAGES_PREFIX# is just used if you copy it into the APEX <b>images</b> directory onto the web-server. But you shouldn't do that, you should always put it into your own directory.
Hope that helps to solve your problem.

Random messages won't display in Mail

Hi,
Using Mail 2.0.8 on a MacBook Pro 2GHz running Mac OS X 10.4.5.
Main account is set-up as IMAP. Recently, I began noticing that some messages will not display in Mail, nor will they be marked as read. The message shown in the preview pane is:
The message from <sender> <sender email> concerning “subject” has not > been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in > order to download it.
However, the account is online. All other messages received at the same time display properly. There are no characteristics common among or unique to messages that behave like this, at least as far as I can discern. Ultimately, without any specific actions, the messages will display properly.
If I go to my webmail account and read the message, Mail will update soon after to show that it has been read. So clearly the account is online, as Mail can send and receive commands to set the status. Still, the message will not display.
Has anyone experienced similar behavior, and have you found a solution?
Thanks!
Patrick

Ernie, David, et al,
Perhaps I spoke too soon. I continue to have the same problem with Mail and my IMAP accounts, which are advancing beyond annoying. I am now considering moving to another email application, which is something I really don't want to do. Following is a brief update:
* After moving the Mail folder and plist file to my desktop, restarting Mail and entering my accounts again, it worked properly for a short period of time. The behavior reappeared soon thereafter. (I had mboxes on my Mac, not on the server, and for some reason I cannot import them again).
* I have a bad habit of using my email as a file system, so my inbox was huge. So I took the time to create a bunch of mboxes, file messages, and otherwise clean my inbox. It's now 1/4 the size it was. I'm also trying to habitualize dealing with email and attachments to either file or delete messsages when the come in (so far, so good).
* When I get a message that exhibits this behavior, I can now Rebuild the mailbox and the message will show. Rebuild occurs quickly because my mailbox is so much smaller, and I've not lost any messages. The messages that previously would not display at all now display properly. However, I must Rebuild every time I receive a message of this type, which occurs several times per day.
* It appears that messages with attachments display properly, but those without do not. It also appears to be highly likely that all the messages originate from an Exchange Server (I know this to be true of several clients, and others are very likely). I also know for a fact that many that I receive properly are not using Exchange Server.
* Calendar invitations from Notes work as intended (show up in Mail as ICS files, notifications appear in iCal which allow me to set my status and reply); however, those from Exchange Server only show as text messages (and don't display until I rebuild).
It appears to me that the problem may lie, at least in my case, to how Mail handles Exchange Server items in IMAP mode, and not just an IMAP bug, but again, I cannot isolate this and be 100% certain.
Will keep you posted.

I redownloaded my Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw will not accept my RAW files nor will the Adobe Bridge display the picture view of these files. A message displays saying it doesn't support this camera. I have a Nikon 5100 DSLR Camera. It always displayed them in the past. How can I get it to display these photos in Bridge and open them in RAW?

How can I always display duplicate email messages in Apple Mail?

I would like to have Apple Mail ALWAYS display "duplicate" messages without having to click on the duplicates link in the upper right of the message.
Apple Mail identified a series of messages as "duplicates" when in fact they were not duplicates. I would have otherwise missed out on very important information and the only reason I even knew to look for this was because I saw them on my iPhone. I want to avoid this issue in the future.

Comfortable with terminal...know how to edit using TextEdit:
Open up a Terminal and use the following commands to change your Mail.app preferences file to an XML format – the default format is binary, and you can't edit this.
cd ~/Library/Preferences
plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.mail.plist
Then, open this file com.apple.mail.plist with a text editor of your choice, preferably one that highlights XML syntax, but you can also use TextEdit:
open -a "TextEdit" com.apple.mail.plist
Now, look for the key called MailAccounts. It's value is an array, with dict children. Here, you'll find all your mail accounts in the order they were created in.
You can now manually move these dict children around. Save the XML file and reopen Mail. Now, your Mail account order will be changed.

Messages won't delete from inbox

Just upgraded to iOS7 on both iphone 4s and ipad2. In mail, on both devices (which are linked) deleted messages won't erase from the inbox - even though they have been permanently deleted from the mail editor on my computer. When I swipe left and hit trash, the message goes away for one second then reappears. I've tried re-booting the phone, didn't work. I definitely have the right passwords associated with the mail account in place. And haven't made any other changes to the mail settings since upgrading the operating system. I noticed that no one else has posted this problem using iOS7 yet, but have seen some threads using earlier formats - none of which were helpful in fixing my problem thoughts? suggestions?

rebuild your inbox using mailbox menu->rebuild.

After update to OSX, cannot scroll in Mail, messages won't display

My mailbox will not allow me to scroll through my messages. I must click on a message and use the up or down arrow keys.
Also, the short display works, but the message doesn't show over to the right. Sometimes I can click on the message and it will display in a new window, but sometimes it does not, only the headers.
Any help would be apreciated.

Rebooting the phone seems to have solved this for the time being. I will let everyone know if it recurs.

Inbox Messages sometimes won't scroll

Occasionally I click an inbox message, and the application indicates that the text in the lower view window is all there is. No scroll bar on the right side. I've been fooled by this many times. There is actually more text below, even images and other attachments, but the scroll bar is missing. Clicking in the text and using the down arrow also is blocked at the bottom edge of the screen. If I open another message and go back to that one it will usually restore the scroll bar, but sometimes I get fooled when I think there is nothing else. Sometimes I get a hint that I'm missing part of the picture when the attachment bubble in the top of the frame is highlighted, but nothing is visible in the view window.
Any way to correct this flaky behavior?

try refreshing your plist files:
Open Preferences from within the Mail program and note the exact settings for your email accounts.
Quit Mail
Trash the following file:
your home directory / Library / Preferences / com.apple.mail.plist
and empty the Trash
Restart Mail
Re-install your mail settings
These actions will not interfere with your mailboxes, it will simply create a new plist preference file when you re-start Mail.

J6480 Ink Cartridge Door Hinges Broke. Door Open error message won't let me print. What can I do?

Have always been very careful with cartridge & scanner doors. Pressing OK doesn't remove error message. Broken hinges will no longer go down, so Door Open message won't go away and preventing printing.

The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times), lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.
Happy Printing

Messages won't randomize incoming bubble colors

This is not an IMPORTANT question, but it's really obnoxious and I want a fix.
One thing I loved about Adium was the ability to set my incoming messages to random colors - every new chat came in a new color. It was fun!
But Messages won't do that. EVEN THOUGH I have my incoming messages color set to "random."
Now of a set of 5 friends -- they'll all be a different color. But no matter what I do, a new chat with any particular friend keeps a single color. My friend J always always ALWAYS has pink bubbles. W always always ALWAYS has blue bubbles. Is this just me? How do I make "random" truly randomize my incoming messages?
edited for clarity

What application are you using to view and print your emails? (Mail, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Sparrow, Thunderbird, etc).
Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.4. Is that information still current? If not, I suggest installing all available software updates. There have been many OS and printer driver updates since 10.6.4.
