Is your Mail behaving oddly?

Hi there,
I have a .Mac account. I have the following weird behaviours:
1) When I read something, the email is not being marked as unread.
2) Sometimes I can't delete what I have just read.
3) it exaggerates the number of emails that are supposed to be in my inbox. (e.g. at the moment I am supposed to have 13 in my inbox, but I can only count seven).
4) Now it won't show what is supposed to be in my Inbox (but is not saying that the application is not responding).
5) I also appear to have gained a new .Mac account. which I want to get rid of but don't know how.
Er, any thoughts?
All the best and thanks,
Luke

Mail.app is behaving oddly rather suddenly for me, too. But just like the other person I'm not having a problem similar to the one you describe. Instead the issue I have is an ability to quit the software. The only way to quit this app right now is to shutdown my computer. Otherwise, if you try quitting you get into a loop. The app appears to quit, but then after seeming to have quit for a few seconds, it opens itself again and the loop continues. No other problems have accompanied this. I've done no upgrades that might have lead to this.

Do your arpeggiators behave oddly?

Does anybody else find they need time to kick in. Is this considered normal for Logic?
Also, can anyone explain how to record bussed channels. In Pro Tools, its simply a matter of changing the I/O on the channels but how does it work in Logic? Must I always bounce or freeze then raid the freeze folder? And why can I only bounce up to 24 bits but the freeze files are 32?
Thanks. I used to come to this forum alot under a different alias. This is my first post in a while cause I just really have to know how others are doing these tasks.

Ken,
The arpeggiator is definitely not "smart" in that it would have trouble interpreting particular chords. So we can rule that out.
Quantized notes, or notes played even slightly ahead of the beat (but not so ahead that they fall on a quantize point) should be played by the arpeggiator just fine. You didn't specify how much of a delay there was, so I can't comment on the possibilty of there being a timing issue with respect to when you played notes and when the arpeggiator "wants to see" the notes.
You might also want to insure that notes do not overlap in your arpeggiator's source track. There are several commands that address note overlapping in the various editors.
I'd suggest doing a test: play a simple chord progression of whole notes which include some common notes between chords. Look in the Matrix Editor, for example, and make sure the notes are quantized to beat 1 of each bar and that the note lengths don't exceed 1 bar in length (in fact, make them about 10 ticks shy of a full bar). Run the arpeggiator and see how it all plays down. If there are no problems, then increase the length of the notes by a few ticks and see what the "tolerance" of the arpeggiator is to handling overlapping notes.
Bouncing: You can use the menu-based Bounce command without having to do anything special if the sound you're playing is routed to outputs 1/2. But in general, when you want to bounce the output of a buss, you perform the bounce from the output object (where you'll find a bounce button), not the buss itself. So get your sound all set up, make sure all elements are going to the same output (any output) and perform your bounce from there.

Trackpad behaves oddly when firewire is used

All of a sudden my trackpad start to behave oddly when I have a firewire device connected. Specifically a MOTU Ultralite mk3 hybrid paired with a MOTU ultralite mk3 firewire. The problem started yesterday when I launch Logic Pro X. a minutes after the trackpad starts to be unresponsive and the pointer moving in wrong direction or jumping.
I tried to reset the PRAM with no luck. Even worst, when I tried to boot the macbook pro after rebooting the system freezes on the logo screen when the firewire port is used with that device. when I disconnect the firewire port the problem totally goes away.

RE: Guiness (nee Harpoon) Solution
Perhaps it is now time for the Harpoon solution (aka the Guinness solution in the mid and far west)
for those not in the know:
1. turn everything off.
2. unplug firewire cables
3. unplug power cords
4. get up from well worn chair
5. walk to refrigerator
6. open refrigerator
7. remove bottle of Harpoon (Guinness, local micro brew, etc)
8. pop cap
9. pour into glass ( you AREN'T going to drink it from a bottle, are you?)
10. sip responsibly. enjoy the moment. think pure thoughts
11. return to kitchen. If less than 15 minutes has elapsed, have another. Otherwise, retrurn to edit room.
12. Plug everything back together
12. fire up external monitors, VTR, external hard drives & computer in that order.
Does it work now? If yes, congratulate your self. If not, oh well, but at least you are in a much better frame of mind to begin some serious troubleshooting.

OS 10.3.9 Running slowly and behaving oddly

My system has been behaving oddly recently. In every application and category therefof. Pages load very slowly, then normally. Sometimes they won't load at all, can't find the server, then they load immediately a few moments later. Various applications will come up very slowly, then, at other times, come up quickly. I have tried turning it off, waiting, then turning it back on. No help. Although my disc space that needs reclaiming seems to have increased exponentially since I first began using the mac two years + or - ago. I have all the updates, security and otherwise, installed. I am wondering if I am infected with avirus of some sort, spyware, whatever.
What is a good spyware, etc. anti-virus application/software for mac that doesn't completely clog it up?

Hi BHJ,
you should try some system maintenance first: MacOS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance

I open up yahoo and my messenger (no the full version) the one you can use in your mail. Now that I have opened I can't close it even though I hit sign out again and again. Please advise.

I am new to using a mac I have an older version. But I have used firefox on my pc before. I downloaded it and went to open messenger. Not the full downloaded messenger but the one you can access when in your mail on yahoo. It opened fine but now it won't close, even though I hit sign out again and again. I have tried force quite, uninstalling and reinstalling and still every time I sign into yahoo on firefox there is my messenger list open. For privacy issues I really need to be able to open and close it.

TS3899 Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Did you have Hotmail set-up with Android prior? I did, and if you did too, you have the same problem, and this is how to solve it.
From your desktop computer, the Hotmail (or Outlook) website uses the folder "Deleted" for your deleted messages as default. On your iPhone, the deleted folder's name by default is "Trash".
When I had my Hotmail with Android, it created a folder Trash for deleted messages, and it's creation was amongst all my folders. So when you go back and look at Hotmail from your desktop, you will see a folder Trash, in addition to the default Deleted. My Trash folder had all the emails I deleted from my Android.
That said, with the manual folder Trash that was created, when trying to set-up Hotmail now on iPhone, because I already had a folder Trash, it conflicted with the default "Trash" folder it wanted to created, so it didn't create it, being the reason why you can't delete emails, because it doesn't have the defaulted "Trash" folder to go to.
The solution is to delete the folder "Trash" from your desktop, uninstall Hotmail from your iPhone, and re-install, and it worked, the defaulted "Trash" was then created, alongside the "Sent" and "Junk".

An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available.

I've seen various people that have experienced the issue of having the following message appear when setting up an email account in Outlook 2013 "An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available" however none of the solutions i've came
across have helped me so far.
The Windows 7 laptop I was installing office 2013 on previously ran office 2007 and the email worked fine on it (it's a Microsoft 365 email account). I had a spare license for office 2013 so I uninstalled office 2007 and installed office 2013. But when I
tried to set up the email got the message "An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available".
I tried the same email address in outlook web app and it works fine. I've tried setting it up on a Windows 8 pc and also another Windows 7 laptop both with Outlook 2013 and it works fine, so I knew it wasn't the email settings server side etc. that was causing
the problem, so I therefore thought it was a computer issue. I also tried manually setting the email up instead of using auto-discover but that didn't work either.
I have uninstalled and re-installed office again to see if that worked but experienced the same issue.
Yesterday on a whim I tried another email on the affected laptop (it's a colleagues and also same domain email and also a Microsoft 365 account) and it worked ok. I'm now thinking that there must be some file somewhere or something in the registry blocking
the email being set up again as it was previously used on the laptop.
Anyone with any suggestion I've been stuck on this for a couple of weeks now and it's really bugging me?
(I originally posted this in the office forum but they referred me here).

Hi Dave-Houston,
According to your description, I notice that you cannot properly configure Outlook with your primary office 365 account after reinstall Outlook client.
If I have misunderstand your concern, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
If possible, please try to configure your e-mail account on another computer. If it works fine, it indicate that the issue is relate to your computer, for example residual registry information about primary account, incorrect username and password.
Please try to open Control Panel--> User Accounts---> Credential Manager, double check whether store some incorrect credential. If so, we can delete it and try again.
Additional, please try to re-create a user account for testing. More details about

Can you password protect your email so when you want to access any of your mail accounts you must enter a password? In other words before I can see my mail I must enter a password.

Your mail index has been damaged. should I delete all of my Envelope Index files?

When I attempt to launch mail, it begins by telling me that I need to import messages. Then it says upgrading mail database, then migrating data, then upgrade failed, click continue to launch mail assistant. When you click on that, the next message that comes up is your mail index has been damaged and will be fixed the next time Mail launches, only it doesn't. I go through the entire process again. Someone last night said something about deleting the Envelope Index files. Should I get rid of all of them? The person mentioned 3 of the files (Envelope Index, Envelope Index-wal, Envelope Index-shm), but I have 15 files altogether.

I should add that several of the Envelope Index files are in two different places; the bulk are in Library/Mail/V2-Temp.noindex/MailData/, the rest are in Library/Mail/

Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
THE GOODREADER OPTION
1. CREATE the document you want to send.
2. SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
3. Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
4. COMPOSE your Reply.
5. DOUBLE TAP the message.
6. TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
7. OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
8. At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
9. TAP the Export button.
10. TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
11. TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
12. ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
13. SEND your email Reply.
The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
5 Select e-mail file
6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

Why repeated "Your Mail index has been damaged" errors?

In my Mail.app (running on a white MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard) I frequently (sometimes daily) get the "Your Mail index has been damaged. To repair it, quit Mail." messages. Either letting the system repair or just Force Quit & restarting then I'm away again, but only for a few hours or days.
Any ideas how to debug what's causing this? It's making Mail totally unusable.
I use IMAP for about 5 accounts with this app. I don't have any problems with other Mail clients.
Thanks, Michael

I am not a clued up user as you might realise. I do not get nor can a search find a library folder nor any of the other files you have mentioned
The screenshot I have is
Sorry to be so basic.

Your mail index has been damaged

I recently upgraded my I-max to Yosemite. Now my email is not working.   Says" Your mail index has been damaged. To repair it, quit mail. Your mail boxes and messages will be preserved".

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Launch Mail. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
