Jerky scrol bar in apple mail in mountain lion

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and still trying to understand everything. One issue that bothers me is the scrol bar in Apple mail. No matter how carefully I try to move the bar, it jumps to the next page . I can't seem to have any fine control over it. I don't have that problem with other applications so far. Any solutions ?

Weird, jpg should work.
Any third party software that could conceivably be in play and making a conflict?
(Some ways to pin this possibility down: try a different user account, or startup in Safe Mode.)

Problems deleting mail from apple mail under mountain lion

I'm a little baffled by the way that the DELETE function works on Mail in Mountain Lion. When I delete a mail from "All Inboxes" it appears to remain in the individual inbox. I have GMAIL and Mac.com mail being gathered into apple mail. I should note that I have GMAIL pulling apple mail into GMAIL, but it's supposed to delete it from Mac.com once the mail is pulled into GMAIL.
Any ideas?

I am suddenly having the same issue in mac mail. Giving me an error message "email name cannot be moved to the mailbox null" "Destination mailbox null does not allow messages to be moved to it" I have no idea what mailbox "null" is. This just started happening a day ago... Any suggestions?

Apple mail in Mountain Lion keeps asking to sign in.

Hello,
Ever since I updated my software to mountain lion, I had numerous problems with apple mail and the messages application. First of all, my apple mail was running fine before the update and every since I updated the software, it keeps asking me to type in my password and sign in every 15-20 minutes. It's not really a major issue, however it's certantly annoying. Secondly, my messages application has trouble sending imessages through the computer. Sometimes the message delivers but most of the time there is a red exclamation mark next to my messages. If I click the exclamation mark, there is an error message that says "Message cannot be delivered, would you like to try again?". Again, it's not really a major issue but certantly annoying.
Mountain Lion is a great asset to apple products, however it still lacks in some aspects. Does anyone have any solutions to the problems listed above? or is it just minor bugs apple forgot to fix?
Thank you!

Delete the email account from Mail and then add it back again.
You've provided no information about who is providing your email service, i.e., Gmail, iCloud, yahoo, etc.
If you have an IMAP account, deleting it and adding it back has no risks.
If you have a POP account and have downloaded mail to your Mac, then deleting the account risks deleting that mail.

Out of office Relpy for apple Mail on Mountain Lion Server

We just recently switched our server from Lion to Mountain Lion and now we can not figure out how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server. I have searched the internet for an aswer and/or instructions on how to do this and haven't found any.
As anyone figured out how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server?

Eustace - Thanks for taking a crack at it! I saw this same post as well but it doesn't answer my question about how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server?
I'm not looking to create an out of office rule on my computer but on our Mountain Lion Server like we used to be able to do on Lion Server.

Apple mail on Mountain lion

New to the mac world, and completely frustrated by the fact that Apple mail retains copies of my sent messages, but does not share them with the Exchange servers, so I can't retrieve them from other machines.
I have seen posts about using
Mailbox>use this mailbox for.... but those are all greyed out
I assume that "store sent messages on server" means that my sent messages should go to the Exchange servers. but they don't.
can you help?
thanks - macnewbie

I only asked as it seemed apple have removed a feature from mountain lion that was actually quite useful, that being the option to save account passwords in keychain or not. I have automatic login enabled which i guess i should switch off and add require password on wake for more security.
Thanks for your comments.

Apple mail in mountain lion cannot download many attachment (corrupt)

I have the same problem on all my macs, and also my friends. That includes:
- MacBook Pro 17"
- MacBook Pro 13"
- MacBook 13"
The problem is that almost every email attachment is corrupt. It means it can in most cases not be opened, except for photos and then they just show some grey area where it's not loaded.
- that all attachment can perfectly be opened on all my iOS devices. 2x iPhone 4, 1x iPad1, 1x iPad2, ipad4, 2x iPhone5
- the problem accures with many files types, but PDF, excel, png, jpg, doc, igs are some I have tried.
I think the problem comes from slow or irregular internet speed. Obviously that should not be an issue and isnt with any other mail program.
This problem is so bad that I'm thinking of switching the mail app as its basically useless. I tried thunderbird and all attachments were loading properly. But it had other issues.
I found a solution that works around this to at least work. Its still not solving it, but at LEAST i can get the mails attachments and work with them, rather than having to forward the mail from my iphone.
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/answers/how_to_fix_corrupted_imap_attachments_in_ apple_mail/
Basically 2 solutions: I prefer option 2, as it can be done fast and each time the issue happens.
1) click the mailbox that has the issues
go to Mailbox in the status and click "Rebuild"
This will re-download all mails. its a bit overkill, but it works.
I've tried this and it also does not download the mails correct. In the end it just shuffles which mails are loaded this time.
2) create a new mailbox inside the main IMAP mailbox account
move or copy the message with the broken attachment there
now do option 1) only for this mailbox
then move the repaired message back.
Same this still not guarantee the attachment.
Such a stupid issue!!!!!

Dear All,
its driving me mental!!! Its now almost every mail attachment that does not load correct! there must be something that can be done.
I also am not the only one.
Please help.

Exporting OS X Mail from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail was a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade. But I think I found a way to Export Mail from ML to (a clean install of) SL.
Try this:
1. Open Mail in ML. For each folder you wish to have back in SL, Export it to your ML Desktop as an .mbox file. Depending on the folder size, this can take from a few seconds to several minutes. You'll see an .mbox icon for the particular folder on your Desktop. If the word "partial" appears between the folder name and the .mbox suffix, wait a few moments for the Export to complete, at which time the word "partial" will disappear. E.g., for a folder named "Mary", if it's a huge one, the icon will first appear as "Mary.partial.mbox"; when the Export is done, you'll see "Mary.mbox".
2. When you've Exported all your desired folders as above, you can exit ML and re-start your Mac in SL. Open Mail in Snow Leopard, and once again, for each file you just Exported in ML to the Desktop there, select "Import Data From Apple Mail" and choose the folder from the Desktop in ML to which your mboxes were Exported. When the Import starts, you can see via a progress bar how far along it is. When done, you'll see a new folder in your SL Mail called "Import"; click on it to reveal the folder you just Imported!
3. Then drag the folder you just Imported out of the Import folder to "On My Mac" in SL Mail; you can then delete the Import folder.
4. Repeat until all your folders are where you want them (in SL).
5. When you have time, go back into ML and clear all those .mbox files from your Desktop.
There MAY be an easier way, but this is what worked for me.

The iOS view vs classic view in Mail is not the problem; I've already configured for classic view.
Mountain Lion itself is.
My short list (to date) of crappy Mountain Lion behavior; items marked with a double asterisk (**)represent the worst of Mountain Lion for me.
** No up/down arrows in scroll bar slider;
Expose` not as easy to navigate as in Snow Leopard;
Mail does not request passwords for either receive or send;
No "Save Draft" icon in Mail compose window (workaround: use command-s);
"Save As" selection missing in most app menus;
No separate Search window in Safari (workaround: use Firefox or Opera);
** Can't export Mail from Mountain Lion into Snow Leopard if downgrading (I compiled this list before I stumbled on the method in this thread, but I'd prefer to effect this with Unix symbolic links);
iWork 09 seems to have "circled the wagons" re compatibility with MS Office or LibreOffice (workaround: just use Libreoffice);

How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How can I change order of email accounts in Mail on Mountain Lion?

In Mail on Mountain Lion I have only two email accounts, but the wrong one has been set as default (because it was an account I had overlooked and added later). I cannot find how to change the order of the email accounts. One possibility is to delete the non-default account and re-add it, so that it becomes the most recent and thus (presumably) the default, but this would delete all the email messages in that account, which I cannot afford.
It's a great flaming pain to try to remember each email I write to select the second account option, and yet I can find no way to change email account order---not in Mail and not in System Preferences. Dragging them certainly does not work.
Can Apple have really missed this? Is there any solution?

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.

Mail on Mountain Lion is a total shambles....

I am trying to decide to switch to Mail from Outlook and my first foray into the latest version of Mail on Mountain Lion suggests that it is a total shambles..
I cannot get a consist view in my inbox of messages received, although if i go to the iCloud.com it all seems fine. I have some simple rules set up to identify messages and copy them to local folders on the MAC and i am getting inconsistent results. For example i have 5 messages coming in from the same sender. My rules are set up to copy all of these messages to a local folder on my Mac, only 2 out of the 5 messages are being identified and copied.
I have another rule that copies other messages to another local folder if they are not recognized as being a member of a particular group and none of these are being recognized and copied.
Providing feedback to Apple on Mail also seems a joke as they are only interested in you allowing them to access certain data about your confignuration......
Anyone suggest an alternative to mail and Outlook?
Thanks
John

Yes i have but i get similar issue with them.
Thanks

Two users, one account, in Mac Mail on Mountain Lion?

Background: My wife and I share a single mac mail account. Prior to Mail 6 (Mountain Lion), each of us would set our own "full name" in the account preferences. In Mail 6, this field is greyed out, since you now set it in iCloud. The obvious problem here is that we no longer can each have our own "full name" ... so recipents cannot quickly see in their inbox who sent the message.
It looks like Apple is limiting the "full name" to only a single entry (set in the cloud). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
scott

"Bumping" ... anyone have a solution?

NHS mail with Mountain Lion

Anyone having problems with their NHS-mail using Mountain Lion (e.g. 10.8.4)?
Upon creating my NHS account on Mac-mail I have encountered repeated problems.
The mails disappear at random times or each time I reboot my Macbook Air. At random times, the mails begin to reload and then disappear again.
This did not happen with my previous Macbook Air, which had Snow Leopard, and it does not occur with my other email accounts with Mountain Lion.
I called Mac Support who suggested I remove the NHS-mail account from the Mac-mail and then recreat it, but this has not resolved the problem.
Can anyone assist, please?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4363 - this is all I can suggest.
If they can't give you enough help, http://www.mail2web.com/ or http://www.altomail.com/ might work better at accessing it via web browser. Microsoft Outlook for the Mac also has good Exchange support, but you have to buy the full Microsoft Office 2011 suite for the Mac. Older versions may work as well, under Entourage. Storing mail on your computer though can lead to significant data corruption of e-mail if you have large e-mail storage of over 4 GB.

I got another mail regarding mountain lion free upgrade program !! But its saying OS X server not able to download ?

Plz Help

You are not alone in this, Maddy. I had the same thing happen. Apple obviously sent incorrect codes that redeemed for OS X Server instead of Mountain Lion. I called Apple Care who said that it must be some server fluke and that they would get back to me within 24 hours.

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.
