Incoming iChat messages are in Chinese?!?!

I can send out messages in iChat in English, but everyone who replies to me comes out in Chinese. I have no idea why this is occurring, the font slect is correct and my language select is English. Can anyone help me?

HI SDMacUser,
As you rightly say deleting the .plist will revert the files to the default settings which will list Helvetica when examined in Property List Editor if you have Delveloper Tools installed.
However as Tom says Helvetica Fractions causes problems at a deeper level then would be fixed by this deletion.
There once was a post about this that included a link to a screen shot. It may have been so long ago that it was in iChat 2 and may have been acrchived off before November 14th 2005. It might pay to search to see if it it still there.
A Quark releted thread
The Search for Helvetica Fractions does not make it obvious to me at present looking at some. I have sorted by date and looked at the older ones with no luck.
Tom may have a link as he was involved then which is how I learned of this.
The search does highlight how often this comes up.

Incoming email message area blank

On my leopard machine I have one person who sends me email regularly and the message area of the email is blank even tho I know she has sent a message. If I forward that email to myself and download it on my laptop with OSX 10.4.11, the message shows up in the email just fine. She has sent me messages at all of my addresses with the same result. They are all blank on the Leopard machine and show up on the tiger machine. She has changed her font , it's size and it's color and we still have the same result. She is sending from a pc on an AOL account. However, I have other people who send me email from AOL accounts on pc's and I can see them with now problem.
Does anyone have any idea what might be preventing her messages from showing up on Leopard mail?
Thanks

Thank you for your suggestion. The page on blank email was informative but unfortunately doesn't apply in my case. The email I get from just one person that is blank on my Mac running Leopard is NOT blank when viewed on my mac running Tiger. The text is in the message but is not visible on the Leopard mail program.
But I do appreciate your link.

Stop new incoming ichat message open a window in foreground

hi there
When iChat receives a new incoming message from a buddy it opens a new chat window in the foreground even if you are running an application in full screen like VMware, and even if you are running in a different Spaces window. Is there a way of stopping this behaviour?
cheers
jack

Hi,
I don't use Spaces but form this thread it seems apparent you can get it to work the way you want

My ichat messages are posted in gibberish!

This morning when I went to respond to an iChat, I couldn't read it because it was in some gibberish font (weird symbols). Then I tried typing a message, which I could read fine, until I posted it. My post was also in gibberish. I can't figure out what the deal is or how to fix it. Help!
-Kelly

It really depends on what sort of Gibberish
See this page http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/garbledfonts_troubleshootingguide.html
Most likely you have Helvetica Fractions installed as a Font.

Today (16 July 2014) incoming email messages are displayed in plain text otnly. The view message as menu, is set to original HTML, Tried other options too.

Tried change view message body as (already set to original HTML) . Tried all settings, no change.

If you can never see remote images because the "Show Remote Images" button is always missing check that permissions.default.image is set to 1 using the config editor.

I recently got a new iPod, and with it of course the iMessage feature. However for some reason all my incoming text messages are copied to my father. We do not and have never shared an Apple ID. Does anyone know what is happening?

Note that I have also tried creating several different Apple IDs in the hope this would solve the problem, however it has failed to do so.

That means there is a common email address( or maybe a phone number if one ID is associated with an iPhone with iOS 6). On each device go to Setting>Messages>Send and receive and make sure that the same email address or phone number is not listed on both devices.

IChat 4.0.9 Incoming Text Messages Aren't Received

Hi All,
I am troubleshooting a problem with iChat 4.0.9 after upgrading to Mac OS X Combined 10.5.8. After installing the system update for OS X 10.5.8 on January 6, 2011, I no longer receive incoming text messages. Outgoing messages are received but incoming chat requests and responses to my messages are lost. Video and Audio chat work as normal, only the text messages are impacted.
I've looked at the system security settings, the firewall is set to allow all incoming traffic.
Apple recommended that I trash iChat and reinstall from the system disks, but the system won't take the disks that I have (I'm assuming because I'm on a newer version of the system), and I cannot find a 10.5.8 download (the 10.5.1 download also would not install).
Also of note is that the system shows that iChat was updated on January 30th, 2011 (another system update was pushed on this date).
Any ideas or thoughts on other things to check?
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi,
The Process is to stick in the Install Disk then open it in the Finder.
Expand the Window to see the Options Installs part.
Launch the Optionals .mpkg and it will launch the Installer.
This will run like any other installer that dos not require a Shut Down.
You will be presented with a Applications list
Select Just iChat.
(No Printer of other apps stuff)
Press the Continue button.
Reinstall the COMBO update to Update iChat afterwards

Exchange Server 2013: incoming messages are not delivered into user mailboxes occasionally

Exchange Server 2013 CU1, two mailbox servers (DAG, only one mail database), two CAS servers (NLB cluster). Two Sendmail/CentOS-based SMTP relays route mail between Exchange servers and Internet (incoming mail is routed to NLB cluster name).
Usually mail flow is OK: messages are sent and received normally. However, I've got several complains from different users. They state that occasionally they don't receive messages that were sent to them from outside. Tomorrow morning I've decided to
investigate the issue.
So, we have a message sent from Gmail account that was not delivered in user mailbox. It was received and routed to Exchange by Sendmail host:
Jun 27 22:06:37 MX01 sendmail[12169]: r5RG6HC8012166: to=<USER_ADDRESS>, delay=00:00:19, xdelay=00:00:19, mailer=smtp, pri=124702, relay=NLB-FQDN [NLB-IP], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (<CAHgK_sjEkj41htuVsutMP3XhgR5RRDs8-EgSC-UfHoaiHWFj=A@mail.gmail.com>
[InternalId=13069585481819] Queued mail for delivery)
Running Get-MessageTrackingLog applet on the mailbox servers displayed the followed log entries for the message:
DB Server #1:
    22:11:18 HAREDIRECT
    22:11:18 RECEIVE
    22:11:18 AGENTINFO
DB Server #2:
    22:11:18 HARECEIVE
    22:12:44 HADISCARD
So, we can see that the message was placed into shadow queues, but was NOT delivered into mailbox (no DELIVER status entries). Also pay attention to the timing. Time on all the servers is in sync, but Sendmail timestamp is 22:06, and Exchange timestamps
are 5 minutes behind it.
Today a message sent to the same address from the same Google mailbox was received by Exchange and placed into user mailbox with no glitches.
We use Exchange antispam system activated on Exchange mailbox servers. Spam is never dropped silently. It is either returned to sender (SCL 9) or placed into quarantine mailbox (SCL 6 and above). I'm pretty sure that the lost message was not in the quarantine
mailbox this morning, and the sender didn't receive any NDRs.
Any ideas what to investigate next?

Hi,
Do you mean the emails are placed in the Shadow Redundancy queue?

What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

Hi All,
Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
Thanks

Hi Surya,
Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
From Shop floor:
shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.
Regards,
Praveen Reddy

Some incoming messages are not received in outlook

Using Iphone 4.
Most of the time I receive messages from a POP account on the IPhone and on my Outlook2010 client. Once in a while I receive one or more on the IPhone and they never show up in Outlook.
This is DNSExist Squirrel mail server. The messages are not removed from the server account after they are received by the iPhone. Outlook is setup to remove the messages 1 day after they are received and appears to be doing so.
These messages come from different senders.
The Settings.Mail.Account.Advanced.DeleteFromServer setting is set to "Never".
Some of the messages appear to be flagged as received by IPhone in a way that make Outlook treat them like they have already been received.
I will post on DNSExist also

I believe that the messages sill show up eventually.
While I've no experience using Outlook with POP3, I have experience with Outlook 2011 on Mac and 2010 on Windows with Microsoft Exchange. Both OS X and Windows Outlook appear to have a bug whereby they defer display of new messages for a seemingly random amount of time (even if you tell it to "Send/Receive Messages" by clicking on the item in the ribbon or from the menu). The messages are on the server, and, if you monitor the messages in the activity bar at the bottom of the Outlook window, it seems to see the messages and transfer them, but they simply don't show up in the application.
Some messages appear immediately, others don't. We've not been able to determine precisely what differentiates those that do and those that don't. Some messages don't appear in Outlook for hours after they post on the server.
This is widely observed throughout the company, and home users report similar behavior (again, I can't tell if they are using POP3 or not).
We've reported the bug to Microsoft.
Your iPhone is doing the right thing. I know of no current fix or work-around for the bug in Microsoft Outlook.

Accessing incoming voice messages on Nokia 2630

I searched everywhere about how to pick up incoming phone calls on my 2630. I selected the little envelope icon from the menu, then messages received, then I get 888 for Orange provider. It then gives me the name of who sent it and I can answer but then I only get an option to write a new SMS text. Or I can go to Options which gives me everything but the option to listen to the message. i can't seem to get those messages. Must be something simple, so simple that it's not even the forum topics. Help!

Press and hold the '1' key. It will dial up your voicemail.
Remember, voicemail messages are not stored on your phone, they are stored by your network. The text message you receive is merely a notification that someone has left you a message, nothing more.

Group messages are going through as texts instead of imessage

Usually when me and my friends have a group message it's fine, it's all going through iMessage and I've never had a problem but yesterday my messages were failing to send and today it says at the top 'Outgoing' instead of 'Group' like it usually does and also my messages are going through as a text not an iMessage but only on the group message? Help

If you have others that are receiving your imessaging but not the group you are attempting to send to then do this:
Click on your text messaging area using imessaging enabled and then type a message to yourself. Do this test to verify that your imessaging apple server is working properly. IF you get the messsage back to you in BLUE this indicates to you that both the outgoing and incoming text messaging is working as imessaging. With this piece of information verified that will indicate there are connectivity issues with individuals or all that are a part of the group you are attempting to contact. Please do not conclude that at a point in time this communication worked via imessaging that there may be some in the group that are now having conectiviity issues of their own.
Good luck, Friend.

Alan, how you're doing?
You already know issue is not with the email account, since it's working on another devices.
Now you have to define whether it is a user specific or system wide issue.
Create another user account through system prefereces > users and groups. Try to set up account on the new test user.
If it works, get back to your main account, open mail application, go to menu > Window > open activity and connection doctor (Make sure you organize these tools in a way that allows you to see both mail windows and activity/ connection doctor... Now, try to send a test email and you will see where the issue is.
Then...
Go to mail preferences > select your email account > click the - button to remove it and + to readd account.
Fill your full name, email address and password. Now, hold down option key and press continue... Insert incoming and outgoing information.
Any doubts, feel free to ask.

Messages are being deleted automatically

We have been using TB successfully on Windows 7 for a couple of years having previously used Outlook.
My wife's incoming e-mail messages are being deleted after one month. They are also deleted from Webmail. The ISP says that they have not been deleted by the ISP but by a 3rd party program. We noticed the problem when searching for an old message. (I just checked using an old XP-enabled computer and all the old messages are there except nothing since June 25 2014.)
I noted this morning that all of my sent messages have disappeared. For the moment at least they are still on the ISP's webmail.
I checked our TB settings regarding retention and deletion, including those of 3 addresses that don't have the problem. They all look OK.
Can somebody please advise on what our next steps should be? Many thanks.

If you had pop and now want to use imap you need to create another (new) email account in Mail.
When you start creating a new account, press the option key when you click the Continue button and you will be given the choice of creating the account for pop or imap.
