Lion - Underline problem in Mail

Hello,
Since I have upgraded my iMac and MacBook Pro to Lion, I have noticed that - everytime I underline text in a new Mail message - the text turns white.
Did anyone have the same problem and - if yes - were you able to solve it? Or is it just a bug?
Thx
Nathan

I have got this same annoying problem and no trace of a fix about it. If you get news please let us know. Thanks

Since installing mountain lion i have a problem with mail. when i delete a message close and open mail the message has come back. please help!

Since installing Mountain Lion i have a problem with Mail. I delete a number of messages from the same person but keep the newest message in my Inbox. I actually delete them from the Trash. The next time i open Mail the deleted messages are back again. Can anybody please help as this is getting annoying. Thanks in Anticipation.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

It would always be easier to fix the Mail problems.

"I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
Superb advice R&W! My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1). Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me. Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

Problems with mail in mountain lion

I installed mountain lion and since doing so I cannot get past the migrating data window when I try to open mail. I have tried deleting the envelope index (although I can't remove it from the trash as it continually says it is in use). I have also tried moving the smartmailboxes.plist and backup files to my desktop but still no joy. Can anyone suggest what to do next?
Dan

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
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.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll 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.

Anyone else having problems with Mail after installing Mountain Lion?

Since upgrading to mountain lion, I have had a number of problems with Mail. At the moment, it is predominantly when my desktop imac goes to sleep overnight. In the morning, it will not receive mail. The app will not close, so I force quit it. Trying to reopen Mail after that just does not happen, so I have to restart my machine to get things going again. Any tips?

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.

I have to restart mail most times before it starts recieving or recognizes the pop server.
As I said a lot of recipients do not recieve my mails when there is an attachment or when I reply to their email.

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
Now all is working.
Thanks,

Problem with Mail (Lion)

Hi.
Since installing Lion yesterday, I can't get my main mail address working.
Message is in French, but it says someting like "The server sent the error back. The POP server (here, my server name) doesn't manage the authentication Password. Please check your account settings and try again".
Strange enough, I had not change a thing on my settings, so the problem must come from Lion. I still can get my mails on the iPad and on the iPhone (with the same settings!).
I contacted my web domain agent, but they say I'm not the only one with this problem and that it comes from Apple and Mai.
Any idea?
Phil

Here is what I did to resolve the problem:
In Mail/preferences/accounts/account information/ and at the bottom of the box there is a toggle arrow up and down to edit the outgoing mail server, check the box "use only this server" and hit this toggle button and select "edit SMTP Server List" at the very bottom of the email names.
Select Advanced tab. Correct and/or add usernames and passwords as needed for each email account. Be sure to select OK each time to get the passwords to hold! Some changes don't seem to hold unless you click OK before you move on.
To test: Window/activity (a little windows will pop up showing activity bars) and then "get mail" button. This should show any problems
Another test: window/connection doctor
This shouldl fix both pop and imap. so far it worked on yahoo, mobile me, gmail, hotmail, and others. Of course, you will need to know the incoming and outgoing mail server info, user name, and passwords.
Too bad we have to go though hoops to use an email program that used to work well. Worse yet, many may not know for days that their email isn't working.
This is easy method of setting up your email accounts but may not allow enough detail to make the mail accounts function properly in Mail 5.0:
system preferences/internet and wireless/mail, contacts, calendars/ add account

Problem with mail app on Mountain Lion?

I need help to fix my native mail app, that stoped working. It's blocked. I'm using Mountain Lion OS. My accounts work fine in the Iphone and Ipad.

hello there, I am jumping in the conversation because I am in the same situation. Up to yesterday evening my mac was working fine, but since this morning, Mail creates a general crash of the system. When I open Maill I have the wheel working for ever, and force quit doesn't help. My solution so far has been to shut down (holding the power button down). I rebooted using the safe boot mode, installed the last update for mountain lion, restart and boom, mail crashed again.
also finder window doesn't come up front.
any help welcome.

Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?

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 is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.

It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others.

Problems with Mail...

Initially, the problem started when why wife said that her e-mails disappeared. I looked at her screen and saw that there was a warning triangle next to the Mailboxes' Inbox in the upper left corner of the Mail app. I thought it odd that there was no list of e-mails in the right side of the window, but one of her mailboxes had a flag with the number 15, indicating that there were 15 messages, but there was "invisible".
So, I took at look at her iCloud account's preferences and tried to change the Port to 993, but I kept getting an error message about the incoming path could not be empty...
I then went to start Googling similar themes and reading the discussions here. Nothing seems to help me, but somehow, I finally got Mail to work...
First off, IF you're using OS X 10.8.2 (Mtn. Lion) and Mail (6.2), the com.apple.mail.plist is NOT in the "usual" expected location. Thanks poster Thomas A Reed, the com.apple.mail.plist can be found here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
This was a BIG help. But in my situation, the com.apple.mail.plist file was not there. Instead, I found "com.apple.mail.lockedfile". But even after I deleted it, Mail still wasn't working currently.
So, I decided to go back in time. Thankfully, Time Machine does come handy at times. I was able to get the com.apple.mail.plist file in Time Machine from a date prior to the problem. But even this "new" plist file didn't help.
So, be it "voodoo magic" or just that God was on my side, I tried a couple of other things...
First, I took the mailbox offline (Mail's Mailbox menu > Take All Accounts Offline). As I even tried taking things offline, but going back online didn't initially help. But I took it offline again.
I then tried going back to into the Account preferences (Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information) and changed Alias to icloud.com, instead of mac.com or me.com, and typed in the correct password. I made sure that the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) was "smtp.mail.me.com". I went into Advanced and typed "imap.mail.me.com", made sure that Port was "993", checked Use SSL, and Authentication to Password.
I click to to another of Mail's preferences to bring up the Save dialog. And when I clicked Save, it did not click. It saved for the first time. No error message at all. A positive sign!
So, I then when to Mail's Window menu and selected Activity and when I selected to Take All Accounts Online, I could see that everything was working! Yeah! Mail was now working as expected. It was an awesome sight!
Now, please remember that these are my observations. May this be a hopeful guide to your situation. I cannot swear that this is THE solution, but something worked for me. Like I said, maybe God was smiling on me as the problem with Mail was on my wife's MacBook Air. So, Mail is now working, I'm happy and ultimately, my wife will be happy now that she can use her Mac like she expects it to work...

I have completley reinstalled the OS, starting from the Software reinstall disk, and did all the upgrades to Tiger, and am still having the problem.
My daughter didn't use Mail, as I didn't get around to setting up an account for her yet.
I just used Sync to try to fix it, by importing all my settings, but still no go.

I've problems loading Mail.

I've problems loading Mail. Until now its been stable. After watching the frustrating spinning rainbow for minutes it tells me there is an issue loading mail and to quit or quit with an index rebuild...neither works or fixes my problem. I have Lion installed and use Gmail. Thx!

hmm, sorry no help for you - just a problem of my own - maybe someone can help both of us ??
On my macbook pro, running 10.6.8, I use mac mail to access my yahoo mail account. Suddenly, no new mail is coming in, though my dock mail icon has a big 42 on it, indicating the new messages that should be there. But there's no new mail in my inbox. And my "Mail Connections Doctor" says "trying to log in to this SMPT account failed. Verify that user name and password are correct." Anyone got any ideas. (I've contacted Yahoo to see if their new mail system requires any changes in account information/port, etc, but no response yet. Their help section is absolutely no help at all on setting up an account in another mail program to access mail.

Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

Hi all,
after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
Regards
Michael

First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.
