List of CC's in Mavericks Mail App

Whenever I receive and display an email in Mavericks Mail, my name always appears first in the list of cc's, no matter the order in which the sender of the email put them.
How do I change this back to what 10.8 Mail App did, i.e., by simply displaying those in the cc line according to the manner in which the sender put them?
Thanks!

It does it in the To: field too (when there's more than one address in the field), which I find even more disconcerting than the cc: field. In business, there are nuances implied by which name comes first, second, third in a group email. This very definitely should be an optional setting that is not turned on by default. If anyone knows of any way, no matter how complex, to resurrect the previous behavior in Apple Mail of preserving the email address order selected by the original sender, I would love to get that information.
Apple has been twiddling with with Apple Mail over the last several releases of the operating system, and in almost every case it seems that they're making bad choices, not good ones. I still prefer Apple Mail over Outlook, but when the next version of Outlook comes out I all need to consider it carefully. There are many other good choices out there, but I absolutely have to have an application that directly supports the creation of Exchange accounts. That greatly narrows down the field.

Configure Mavericks Mail app like the iOS Mail

Is there a way to configure Mavericks Mail app like the iOS Mail so that mail messages are not automatically downloaded, and they will only download when you click on the titles on the list of messages on the left?

Hello yonole,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The steps below will disable the automatic checking of new email for your email account: Please note that even though the article title is for Mountain Lion, the same applies to Mavericks.
You can set Mail so that it doesn’t automatically retrieve messages from an account—for example, if you have an account you use only occasionally or you don’t want to check a personal account while you’re at work.
Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
Select an account, and then click Advanced.
Deselect the “Include when automatically checking for new messages” checkbox.
When you exclude an account from automatic checking, you must manually check the account for new messages. To do so, click the Get Mail icon in the Mail toolbar.
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) accounts are automatically synced with the mail server (and so automatically check for new messages). To keep an IMAP account from being synced, take it offline.

Take care,

IPhone 5s mail deletion not syncing with Mavericks mail app

I am having issues with email not deleting->syncing.
I will check my email on my iphone 5s.
I will delete a few emails.
When I get home and check my email on my imac mail app.....
those emails that I deleted will still be in the inbox (even after refreshing)
What am I missing? Ive checked all the setting but must be missing one small thing....
As it works correctly when deleting from my Mavericks mail app then checking my iphone.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Make sure you have the "Delete from server" set to "When removed from Inbox" on the iPhone. Otherwise the server will keep the email and your Mac will see it when you read your mail later.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (select account) > Advanced > (under INCOMING SETTINGS) Delete from server > (Make your selection here)

Mavericks Mail App and Gmail folders

I have installed Mavericks on my MBA. Now in the mail app, when I drag messages from the inbox to a gmail folder, they leave the inbox. But if I click off of the inbox and then click back on it - they reappear in the inbox.
Anyone else having this problem?

This is one of the largest bugs in Mavericks’ Mail app, which affects Gmail accounts and Google Apps email accounts. This used to work just fine in previous versions of OS X, so it is a brand new problem in Mavericks:
Mail can’t delete messages from the Inbox unless Google’s “All Mail” folder is visible in Apple Mail. If you try to delete a message from the inbox, the message only disappears temporarily, then reappears moments later. It seems like Apple Mail never removes the “Inbox” label from the deleted messages, so the messages just keep reappearing back in the Inbox over & over again.
The workaround is not a desirable one: It requires the user to make Google's “All Mail” folder visible to IMAP clients (via Gmail's "Settings>Labels” page). However, this workaround is not desirable because of 2 bigger problems:
(1) Making the “All Mail” folder visible in Apple Mail will suddenly make dozens of gigabytes of emails start taking up valuable hard drive space, because every single email that has ever been archived on Gmail/Google Apps will suddenly be written to the Mac’s hard drive. This can be a real problem on a machine with a small hard drive, such as the MacBook Air. Hiding the “All Mail” folder prevents these messages from taking up valuable hard drive space. Not to mention that all of these messages are DUPLICATES OF MESSAGES THAT ALREADY APPEAR in other IMAP folders, so showing the "All Mail" folder in Mail is absolutely pointless.
(2) Whenever the “All Mail” folder is visible, every new message that comes into the “inbox" also shows up as a new message in the “All Mail” folder as well, so new messages appear like they are coming in twice. Also, users are forced to mark their messages as “read" in two locations: the “Inbox" AND the “All Mail” folder.
The ideal solution would be for Mail to operate how it used to operate: Users should be able to delete messages from the Inbox, without having the “All Mail” folder visible in Apple Mail.
Please report this bug to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback and hopefully they will fix it in a software update soon!

Gmail spam folders not visible in Mavericks mail.app

I have upgraded the operating system to Mavericks on one of the Macs I use. In mail.app, I find that the Spam folder in my gmail accounts is not visible; the same is true of a number of other gmail folders that formerly appeared as subfolders of the main [Gmail] folder. I have found no mail.app preferences that might explain this disappearance. By accessing my gmail accounts via a web browser, I have confirmed that the Spam folders are still present in each.
Thanks in advance to anyone else who reports this issue and all the more so to anyone who can suggest a fix.

You have sub-folders of the Inbox???
I did see a post on Mountain Lion forum where the person had the same setup and got it back. I know I was part of the thread, but I can't find it.
You may need to remove the account and re-add it to Mail.

Mavericks Mail app and Gmail Drafts folder

After installing Mavericks I'm unable to unselect "Store draft messages on the server" and "Store sent messages on the server" checkboxes under my Gmail accounts settings. Unselecting both checkboxes and saving settings works for up to a minute or so - after that the check marks re-appear again by themselves. As a result I end up with dozens of half-finished drafts in the Trash folder after I finish the original and send it out.
I used to have both checkboxes unselected prior to Mavericks, and everything was working fine.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I have also the same issue. I'm not able to unselect "Store draft messages on the server"
Mail app just puts this tick back.

Mavericks mail.app and exchange online - crash

Hello everyone!
I want to setup my exchange online account within mavericks 10.9.2. Everytime i try this the mail.app crashes with the following errorreport:
Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** setObjectForKey: object cannot be nil (key: serverName)'
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
With OS X 10.8 (Parallels Desktop installation) and Outlook for Mac 2011 on Mavericks the setup of the exchange online account works as expected wihtout any crash.
The Mavericks installation was a clean install (no upgrade)
Have someone else the same problem and maybe a solution for this? The problem exists since 10.9.0 and my hope was 10.9.2... still the same shi...!
- Cyberspace

I don't know if you found a solution yet but this is what I found, tested and verified to work for me. (Osx Mavericks with all latest updates).
1) Disconnect from Internet first (unplug network cable or turn off wifi)
2) setup the Exchange account
3) the lack of Internet connection will force the wizard to ask for server name
4) input the server name (outlook.office365.com if you are using exchange online)
5) connect to the internet THEN click OK or CONTINUE
6) then it will work like a charm...
here is the link to the thread that I foudn the solution from

Mavericks Mail.app + Gmail = Random Duplicate Sent Messages

I'm working with a user here with a brand new Retina MBP. Has 3 email accounts loaded in Mail:
- personal @gmail account
- corporate Google Apps account
- iCloud
The iCloud account is pretty much unused.
Randomly - though increasingly frequently - when she sends mail using the new rMBP, 2-3 messages are being generated just seconds apart.
I can see from the headers the message IDs are different. Also, the recipients complain about receiving multiple identical messages.
It's worth noting that she also has a retina iPad and iPhone 4s that both have these two Google accounts loaded.
Software is up-to-date including the mail patch from last month. We've turned off syncing drafts at Gmail due to related Mavericks mail buginess.
I am fairly certain the duplicates only occur when she sends from the rMBP. Messages and replies sent from the browser or either iOS device don't get duplicated. The accounts are also loaded into a PC/Outlook (the system I switched here away from), but that system has not been on for several weeks now. The duplicates did not appear until we set up the rMBP.
So yes, it would appear to be a Google server issue, but only happens when using Mavericks.
Anyone else with a similar experience or thoughts to offer?

After upgrading to OSX Mavericks Mail App quite when try to open my MS Exchange Mail Messages

After upgrading to OSX 10.9 Mail App quits when try to open my Mail messages. I have a MS Exchange account. I have removed account and installed it again. All messages where downloaded normally but when I just click on a mail the app quits :/

The option key... I've been holding down the command key... No wonder that didn't work. I should really be writing this stuff down!.
Regardless, Downloading and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
Thank you mende1 & saffron63 for the assist!

Mavericks Mail App

(Mavericks mail.app) ability to display mail messages in plaintext and to prefer plaintext by default gone

In previous version of apple mail, it was possible to show the plaintext (non-HTML) version of a message under View > Message, and there was also a preference setting, though not surfaced in any menus, that instructed mail to show all messages in plaintext by default. This could be toggled by running "defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE". This no longer seems to do anything, in fact the plist file that it edits appears to be empty, and the View > Message menu doesn't have a plaintext option either. Has this feature been removed entirely, or is there some way to enable it? If it has been removed entirely, does anyone have suggestions for other email clients that do support this?
Thanks!

Can I associate signatures with aliases in the Maverick Mail app?

Is there any way to have Mail include a specific signature when writing a message using an alias? For example, I would like to always include Signature #1 when using Alias #1, Signature #2 when using Alias #2, etc. I know it's possible to choose the signature manually, but I'm afraid I'll forget to add it and was wondering if there's a way to add the correct signature automatically.

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

Exchange Email Archiving in Mavericks Mail app

I can't archive my Exchange Email account messages. When I archive them using Archive button it creates another folder in Inbox folder with the name Archive and keeps messages on my account in that folder. And what I need is to archive them locally in order to delete them from my account that has 2 Gb free storage only.

I used to export my old messages using a smart mailbox as my corporate account also has a size limitation.
Upgrading to Mail 7.0 broke exporting of smart mailboxes. I was using a workaround to archive the mail and then export the Archive mailbox instead which worked.
With the latest update to build 1822, archiving of Exchange messages appears broken as well. Smart mailbox exporting still broken too.
I modified my workaround as follows:
1. Create a mailbox under "On My Mac" called Archive.
2. Select all messages in my smart mailbox.
3. Drag the messages to the On My Mac folder under Archive as created in step 1 above.
4. Highlight the On My Mac Folder under Archive.
5. Choose Mailbox, then Export Mailbox and browse to a folder where you want the mbox file created and choose the folder.
Next time you just follow steps 2 through 5 of course.
Seems like the long way around to me and I'm annoyed that I have to keep changing my workaround as Apple breaks features in their mail program.
Hope this helps.

Change to dragging attachments from Mail.app in Mavericks

It seems now Mail.app needs to be the active window when dragging attachments from an email. This means not just an extra click but often the finder window gets hidden behind Mail and this is a bit of a pain. Also there has been a change with the selection of attachments when dragging, sometimes dragging two if one is selected and you drag another.
Has anyone also found this a problem and found a work around or settings change? It is certainly slowing me down

I likewise can no longer drag attachments from a mail message to a Finder window - with Mail being frontmost or not - multiple items or a single item. I can only perform a "Save All (size) ..." from within the message - which does work fine to the same intended destination. This is on the replacement Mail.app 7.0 (build 1822).
On a related note, Maverick Mail.app seriously broke addressing groups from within the addressing lines (via text matching). I have to openthe addressing windoid, select the group manually, then select the desired recipients onthe right side and then click the addressing line desired. Very narrow UI resprictions. What did they do to Mail???
Two annoyingly unresolved issues with Mavericks Mail - quite broken from before.
