Lion mail question.

Can the message pane be moved above the preview pane in lion mail?

System Preferences>General>Sidebar icon size will do it. Select small or medium.

  • Mountain Lion Mail cant print or save multiple messages???

    The question is not a question because I already know.....
    Mountain Lion Mail obviously cant print or save multiple messages !
    There are multiple threads about that, but I couldnt find any solution :
    I want to export a full folder of mails (emlx) to single PDFs
    and I want to have the Images displayed ! (Lion Mail could do that!)
    saving as RTF just shows a link and not the image if it is just a linked image
    and saving multiple mails doesnt work anyway. same for printing (and save as pdf)
    did anybody run into this... maybe find another solution?
    automator doesnt really help on this, too, and i dind find any tool.
    word opens emlx files, but the image is displayed just as a 1x1cm thumb
    that is really annoying !

    I restarted the iMac and now it seems to allow this operation - so I consider this problem resolved for now.

  • Lion Mail unable to find "excerpts"/"character subsets" of email addresses (worked in 10.6)

    Hi,
    I recently started using Lion and feel that Mail search has been downgraded.  In Snow Leopard, I could search for an "excerpt"/"character subset" of an email address, but this does not work in Lion, and when I called Apple Care about this issue, they confirmed this is proper operation of Lion Mail search and didn't seem to think this was an issue of concern. 
    For example, I have an account with First Arkansas Bank & Trust.  I've received email from FABT from four different email addresses:
    First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>
    FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST <[email protected]>
    First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>
    Account Services <[email protected]>
    In Snow Leopard, I could search for "Arkansas" and limit to "From" field, and all emails from FABT would show up.  Now in Lion Mail, when I type "Arkansas" in the search field, Mail automatically searches all of my email content, so I get all my FABT emails but also emails from United Airlines talking about fares to a city in Arkansas and so on.  I am then given the option of limiting my search to "First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>" or "FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST <[email protected]>" but not "First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>" or  "Account Services <[email protected]>."  If I do a search for "from:arkansas," I get results for all but "Account Services <[email protected]>."  I can only retrieve that email address by searching for "from:aservices" or "from:first" because they appear at the beginning of the email address.  Apple Care tech support confirmed that Lion Mail cannot search for an "excerpt"/"character subset" of an email address like "arkansas" in the case of [email protected].  Is it also like this in Mountain Lion?  Is there any way to request that Apple improve its search functionality? 
    Snow Leopard Mail search had no problem searching for subset character strings.  e.g. doing a search for "rkans" (including full text search) brings up zero emails in Lion, whereas it worked perfectly fine in Snow Leopard.  I'm also not pleased with the loss of the scroll bar arrow buttons in Lion... :/
    thanks for any advice you may have

    Thanks for your reply!  To what extent does Apple listen to such feedback?
    I am sure they will read it, but it's impossible to know whether they will take action.  I would guess that having a large number of people ask for something increases the chances.
    For questions relating to how Mountain Lion behaves you should ask in its forum:

  • How do I import .eml emails, etc. from Windows Mail 2011 (online version) to Lion mail program?

    I have tried to find out how to import my stored .eml emails from my previous PC into my new Mac Mini Lion Mail program, so I will not lose them all.  I have tried going through Thunderbird, but all it keeps giving me for choices is Apple Mail and Eudora.  Then the Mail on the Mini only gives me choices that do not include the .eml files.  Please help!  I have a gazillion emails saved and don't want to lose them!  Thanks very much!

    I see you are running Leopard. So maybe ask your question in the Leopard forum area.

  • Can I downgrade mail from Lion Mail(v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail(v.4)?

    I just bought a new MacBook (13.3" running Lion OS 10.7.1). I -really- don't like the new format of mail and have problems with searching and other organization methods I worked out. I would like to downgrade from Lion Mail (v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail (v.4). I understand that some people have downgraded the whole operating system and saw those instructions in the discussion forums, but I would like to -only- downgrade mail. Any ideas?
    Also, any recommendations on reducing my load times and delays in mail? I have over 100,000 emails over the past 4 years that are bogging down the system. I have tried archiving some older messages, but the system freezes and then downloads all the attachments from my oldest messages, filling up the entire hard disk. Thanks in advance!

    There is a long thread about this -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/15733107#15733107 -- and the bottom line is that it is possible to install and run SL on a 2011 mini (with some rather wonky hacking...) BUT it doesn't work very well.  Performance benchmarks of the same machine in SL and Lion show the SL as definitely slower.
    Plus people are having problems with certain features on the machine not working.
    I think that your performance issues sound like something else is wrong...  The 2GB is a definite problem -- do you know that you can buy 8GB for the machine for $60, and getting it installed is a snap?  But the first thing that I would do is to install applejack and boot into single-user mode and run disk repair (aka fsck.)  Another question -- if you look on your console, do you see a voracious cpu-eating process called mds?  It's the indexer for Spotlight, and there is nothing to be done about it than to just wait it out, and your machine will work much better when it is done.  And Spotlight is not just a SL problem -- if you install SL it's going to want to index your disk, too...

  • Lion Mail is sending me my mail over and over.  2000 to 8000 messages at a time.  How do I stop this.

    Lion Mail is sending me my mail over and over.  2000 to 8000 messages at a time.  How do I stop this.
    http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/4003/screenshot20110731at913.jpg
    This is a little screen shot of it.
    I am new to mail.  And I have it set up with Gmail and IMAP.  And every so often it keeps sending me back my deleted messages.  At first it was 2000 message lots.  And as the screen shot in the link shows.  One time it wanted to send me 8000 messages.  I just want my deleted messages to stay deleted.  From Mail, from Gmail, from everything.  But they don't seem to want to stay deleted.  I don't know if I have det up anything wrong.  But it's pretty frustrating.
    If anyone can help me I'll be really appreciative.

    They are being sent to the All Mail folder.  The inbox is pretty much unaffected.
    I don't want to hide the All Mail folder and forget about it.  I am after the messages gone forever.  Especially from the All Mail folder.
    I'm the kind of person who uses email like sms.  I use it to contact people annd delete 95% of the messages after reading.  I don't want them archived.  I don't want them stored in the All Mail folder.  I want them totally gone.
    And yes it seems Mail is downloading all my messages over and over.  So my question is how to stop the messages being stored/archived and to instead be totally deleted.
    In the gmail settings I found:
    Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
    When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder:  Immediately delete the message forever.  Instead of archiving it like I had set before.  I'm not 100% sure if that'll fix the issue I am having.  I'm sure you'll be able to tell me if I am on the right track.
    And thanks for the quick reply.

  • OSX Lion Mail and Exchange Server

    My ITS person says that OSX Lion Mail "doesn't allow for exchange accounts so calendars etc don't work".
    Is this true?
    Thanks!

    Again, both of you have been really helpful.  Thank you so much.
    If you are both still on this thread, I would like to ask about solutions to a space problem:
    My primary computer is a MacBook Pro (Lion 10.7.3), where I am running Entourage 2008 (13.1.2).  Because I have limited space on my MBP for housing old emails (under "On My Computer"), I created a server from an old Mac in my office.  Then, using Entourage 2008 from my MBP, I created an additional IMAP account on the old Mac server, with subfolders for "email_2005", "sent_email_2005", "email_2006", "sent_email_2006", etc.  This is where I archive all my old email.  The nice thing about setting it up this way is that I can search any or all of these folders anytime, and from any location, directly from my Entourage 2008 app on my MBP, yet they take up no space on my MBP.
    First of all, I suspect there were easier ways to archive off emails from my MBP, but after searching and asking for weeks, this is what I settled on and it has served me well for years.
    But now, my old Mac really is getting old and I'm worried it will die at some point.  Plus I'm not thrilled about trying to maintain the server software on this old Mac.
    I also have space on a shared drive maintained by ITS, that's backed-up nightly.  This would be an ideal place to house archived mail folders.  Then I could take down the server on my old Mac and not worry about it anymore.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to set up an IMAP account on my shared drive space (I suspect it's against the ITS rules of this drive).
    Entourage 2008 does not permit me to designate where "On My Computer" folders are housed (they have to be on the same computer running the Entourage 2008 app).  If I could designate the location of "On My Computer" folders, a simple solution would have been to just locate them on the shared drive and I wouldn't have to bother with creating additional IMAP accounts housed elsewhere.
    Questions:
    1) Does Outlook 2011 or Lion Mail permit designating the location of local files (off my primary MBP) for archiving emails?
    2) Is there a simpler solution to archiving emails off my laptop, but that would also allow them to be conveniently searchable from within a mail app on my laptop?
    Sorry for the long-winded questions.
    Thank you again.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and note need about five minutes to start.

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
    After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
    In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".

    Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
    i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
    So I found the solution here.
    Thank you graphicsluc!!!

  • How do I stop Mountain Lion Mail from downloading emails?

    I create html newsletter emails for a church organization using a combination of Dreamweaver, Safari and Apple Mail.  Since I moved to Mountain Lion, however, I have an Apple Mail problem.
    Our organization uses an AOL email address.  Under Lion and previous OS's, I was able to create the organization's account in Apple Mail, unclick "Include when automatically checking for new messages" in Mail Preferences, click "Enable this account" in Mail Preferences, and be able to send the finished email without routinely downloading all the emails from the organization's AOL inbox.  Although I've followed this same procedure in Mountain Lion Mail, the app still insists on downloading their emails!!  Is there any other switch to shut it off?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I have several email accounts in Mail.  'Sorry, I didn't indicate this before.  Prior to Mountain Lion, I was able to set Mail to automatically download email for all accounts except the organization's. Although the "Include when automatically..." checkbox in the organization's specific account preferences seems to provide this control in ML ... it doesn't

  • How to change To address in Lion Mail message list pane

    I quite like the new Lion Mail app although I return to "Classic Layout" whenever I need to sort and clean up my inbox, but for general use the two-column layout with the message list on the left and the selected message content on the right works nicely for me. I would however like very much to change the "To" line in the message list. Currently my list of received messages shows "To" on the first line to the right of a picture of the "To" person. On the far right of this line is the time or date of receipt in blue. Under this first line is a little icon with "To" or "Cc" - sometimes, and that is followed by the subject. On the right of this second line is the mailbox and account. I have set preview to no lines to keep the list as compact as possible.
    What I would dearly like to change is the To address in the first line. I know who the To is - it's Me! Occasionally the To shows another name if that person precedes my name in the list of recipients. What would be VERY useful is if this data showed the From address!
    In the Classic View I can move the email columns around, adding new columns and removing them. Either way, in my inbox I can have the From address right in front of me. Is there any way of changing the To address to the Originator address - the From address - in the message list in Lion mail?
    Thanks - Lawrence

    Thanks, but that controls the header detail shown for the message in the right pane. So if I select a message in the message list on the left pane, the method you describe controls what header detail I see in the right pane when the selected message is displayed. The piece of data I really want to change is the first line of the message information contained in the message list in the left pane. It currently shows the To address in this window, which is useless to me; the From address on that first line - next to a picture from my address book of whoever is sending the message - would be infinitely more useful.

  • How to not "read" Junk Messages In Lion Mail?

    In the new setup in Lion Mail, the left column now has the subject line and first couple lines of the message.
    To create any kind of action with the message, I have to select it.  It then appears on the right and is seen as opened mail.
    For most messages, this is okay, but for junk mailing (foreign entitities wanting money etc.), I don't want to open it but I do want to delete it.
    Does anyone know how I can delete without "selecting" the message and automatically opening it or do I just have to use the alternate older view of Mail that is provided?

    I second this... Some emails I don't want to see at all. (i.e. Prince SoNSo has left me a gazillion dollars, all I have to do is reply...) Is there and edit button in the new mail as similar to the one used on portables?

  • How to save multiple attachments in Lion Mail?

    In Snow Leopard Mail, I can save multiple attachments to my Downloads folder with one click. In Lion Mail, I see no way to save attachments except by right-clicking on them one at a time. I must be missing something. Information appreciated.

    I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.

  • For all like me who have been fooled by rss disapearing in Mountain Lion Mail

    I have read lots of threads regarding the discontinued support of RSS feeds in Mountain Lion Mail, but unfortunately, after I have installed Moutain Lion (I am really angry with Apple not to have communicate on this point and to have discover it at the end of the install!).
    So, after reading a lot on the subject, here's what I have made to get back everything I needed.
    First, I wanted to get all my saved articles back. For this I have gone in ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> (you have to show hidden files) Here you have the list of your old rss mailboxes. Select the ones you want to restore and drop them into a folder that's not hidden (in a folder on your desktop for example) because you won't be able to see this folder in the file selection window in the next step.
    Then go to Mail->File->Import mailboxes
    Select "Apple Mail". Then go to the folder previously created and select all the .mbox files you moved in.
    Now you will have a new mail box with all imported subfolders and alle your saved articles. You can then rearrange them as you like.
    Now, to renew your feeds subscriptions, you have no other choice than to use another rss app. And to find all your feeds links, go to ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> or the folder previously created and in each .mbox open the info.plist file. In each file look for the string in front of "RSSFeedURLString", double click on it and copy and paste it in your new rss reader.
    It's not a clean solution, it's quite long (mainly for the import of rss feeds in the new reader), it forces to have old saved articles in mail and new ones in the new app, but that's the only solution I have found.
    If anyone has a better one, I think lots of us will appreciate.
    PS: please accept my apologies if everything is not clear, as English is not my mother tongue

    Can anyone recommend a good RSS reader? One I can use on my Mac and iPad?
    I wrote one to integrate with Mountain Lion's notifications. The iPad version is not yet available. You can download it from: http://www.etresoft.com/etrefeed
    Disclaimer: I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my link.
    I just noticed I have to run spell check when leaving a post here. The old Safari would automatically redline misspelled words.
    Seems that they are taking many things away when we upgrade- don't understand.
    That is a function of the forum software. Safari 6 has nothing to do with it.

  • In Mountain Lion, Mail why no "view as icon" option

    I used to be able to compose a message, attach a PDF and right click to "view as icon." Now when I attach, I see a preview of the doc. When I save as a draft, the PDFs appear as icons. When a PC user receives them, will they arrive as PDF attachments icons only showing or will it show a preview of the doc in their opening window?

    In Mountain Lion mail, it is still possible to switch between a preview and an icon of an attachment.
    How somebody else is seeing it when he/she is receiving it it totally up to their mail app. It has nothing to do with PC or Mac or whatever system they use.
    So you have basically no real chance to control what the receipient will see when looking at your mail.

  • Yahoo! Mail glitches with Lion mail client and Address Book app

    I had really been looking forward to using my Yahoo! mail account in the Lion mail client but now that it is here and I have set it up and used it for a few days I am noticing the following issues:
    New mail is not always received or is received late. Yahoo! Webmail portal shows new items but these sometimes do not appear in Lion mail client even after a manual 'get mail' check.
    Mail marked as read in Yahoo! Webmail portal or in mail clients in iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad is not marked as read in Lion mail client, however the reverse does work (i.e. mail marked as read in Lion mail client does mark the message as read in webmail and in clients on iOS devices).
    Yahoo! Aliases are not supported. Yes, you can add aliases by inserting the other email addresses in the 'Email Address' field of the account settings, but you cannot add more than one display name.
    I have also found that if you turn on Yahoo! contacts via the tick-box in the new 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' pref pane in System Preferences that I end up with random duplicated contacts. These duplicates are not seen on iOS devices, just in the Address Book app. If you delete a duplicate contact, it deletes the contact altogether. However, I have found that if you keep contacts unticked in the pref pane and add your Yahoo! account the old-fashioned way (i.e. via the Address Book app's own preferences) then the contacts sync through perfectly with no duplications.
    I would be interested to know if anybody else is experiencing these issues. It may be worth noting that mine is not a @yahoo.com address but @xtra.co.nz which belongs to my ISP here in New Zealand, but the mail is managed by Yahoo!. The account works perfectly as a Yahoo! account on iOS devices and does appear to be working in Lion, except for these small glitches but I don't imagine these are specific to @xtra.co.nz addresses.
    Thanks
    Steve

    i've had the same experience here.
    essentially it seems like lion mail.app just takes an incredibly long time to pickup new changes from the IMAP server at yahoo.
    ios and webmail are obviously much quicker.
    if it is working on ios, why does is it so delayed in mail?
    any solutions out there?
