Mac Email help

A couple of things -
Can anyone help with telling me why I havent recived an attachement in an email although it is shown as <....doc> at the bottom of the email?
Also, why do my emails disappear from the inbox when I press delete but then keep reappearing if I come out of the inbox and then go back in?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
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), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

When mac email changed to icloud a while ago i lost all my emails and things i have an email subscription to send emails but they do not reach the email that i updated with the same address any help?

When mac email changed to icloud a while ago i lost all my emails and things i have an email subscription to send emails but they do not reach the email that i updated with the same address any help?

If you purchased about 2 years ago new I am sure it is a Intel iMac. To find out what type of iMac you have just click on the Apple menu item in the finder and select about this Mac. I would check the ISP mail site and get the correct outgoing mail server info.

Mac email, please help ?

When i got my macbook which was back at the end of November 2007 i signed up automatically for the mac.email thing that comes with mac which was working fine, but all of a sudden in about february begining sometime it stopped working; it said the ssl connection was cut off or something like that and ever since my email has stopped working i cant communicate with people properly. I know my father has some problems with our internet provider because they dont allow streaming but it worked before and quit now because it said that something is faking mac.com users or something like that. Now all of a sudden since about 2 weeks ago my ichat stopped working because there is a general error and cannot sign in. I was told i have to pay to use mac.email but my friends dont and when i wanted to sign up to pay it costs $99 a year, and i dont know whether im doing the right thing. If someone by any chance understands me, please help me out ASAP.

Hey Shireen and welcome to the forum -
You've signed up for a free trial of [.Mac|http://www.apple.com/dotmac>.<~~ click link) and it has expired.
You can find all about it and purchase it from this link. If you decide to not purchase the subscription ($99/yr) then it should be deactivated or removed. I can't help you with that as I have never signed up for .Mac.
Hope this helps -GDF

Cannot send emails from mac email address

Over the past 24hrs I am unable to send emails from my ibook and sporadically from my iphone. Please advice what the settings should be for SMTP and port. I think this might be the problem but I am unsure. I have a mac email address. I can send emails from my icloud account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Wow, after research I can't believe what a problem BT is!???
This post by vanessa seems to have gelped many that could not send...
Just set up my macmail with the help of the BT guys after a year of struggling! Hopefully this could work for others for whom the emails will receive but NOT send....
Set up your 3rd party domain names via the mail relay system and confirmed via BT. Then try these settings.....
In your @btconnect.com email set its up using these:
incoming mail server: pop3.btconnect.com
username: the bt email
password: the bt email password you supplied
outgoing mail: we'll come to this!
on the drop down box next to Outgong mail server (SMTP) select 'edit SMTP server list'
press '+' button and add these details....
In the Account information tab:
Description: mail.btconnect.com
Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
In the advanced tab:
Select 'Use default ports'
Authentication: Password
username: the bt email
password: the bt email password you supplied
NOW The next bit, the 'second' server....
press '+' fro a new server add these details....
In the Account information tab:
Description: second server (or any name you want)
Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
In the advanced tab:
Select 'Use default ports'
Authentication: NONE!
Now on all your email addresses back in the accounts section, set the SMTP server to 'second server' (or whater you hae called it) NOT mail.btconnect.com and select Use only this server.

.Mac Email Address Going into Junk Folder

Hi, I have an original .mac email address and when I send emails they are going into peoples junk folder, regardless of their email provider. Any ideas why, and how i can fix this? Important emails are getting missed as a result. Appreciate any help.

How do I upload an 'On my Mac' email archive in Mail to an 'On my computer' folder in Outlook for Mac??

I've installed Office for Mac with Outlook and want to import an archive of 'On my Mac' emails from Mail to a new folder created in Outlook's 'On my computer' section.
When I recently upgraded to Mavericks, I was able to import this archive back in from a system backup I'd made beforehand. I thought I would be able to do the same again now, but Outlook's import function won't play ball, not even after I have led it to the 'Mailboxes' folder of MBOX data that I've saved onto my desktop. Outlook's 'import' button remains greyed out and unresponsive, even after I've opened the 'Mailboxes' folder to expose the MBOX data.
I now know I am not alone in being unable to complete this task by the only method suggested in Outlook's 'Help' that is open to me - ie, to "import messages in MBOX format". I got nowhere at all trying the alternative, to "Import Apple Mail messages", where, after clicking 'File / Import', the options encountered bore little resemblance to those described in 'Help' - eg, to import, specifically, "Entourage information from an archive or earlier version" rather than the more general "Information from another application", whilst there was subsequently no mention whatsoever of "Apple Mail" after clicking "the right arrow to continue".
I've since learned from trawling internet forums that Apple and Microsoft MBOX folders are not the same, which is presumably at the heart of this. There are also various solutions proffered, involving either uploading the archive over an IMAP connection (which I do have, to Gmail) to a shared email account, or using proprietary software that either converts email data from Mail to Outlook friendly or enables it to be uploaded from one to the other. However, none of the simpler solutions are relevant (they tend to be restricted to particular mail clients, etc) whilst the others require programming familiarity and skills that I don't possess.
It's hard to believe that Microsoft could produce this suite expressly for Macs and, in the case of the Outlook component, implicitly to replace its Mac counterparts, yet for it to be incapable of doing so in the crucial, basic area of importing pre-existing Mac email data.
Whilst I have taken this up with Microsoft, I'm just hoping there might be someone out there in the Mac community who might know the answer . . .

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders? I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard. So, here's my situation.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro. I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1. I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac. Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it. Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created. Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.

On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section). Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete.

I have and android phone and I want to use my mac email account. I cannot get the account to load

I am using an Droid Razr M phone and want to put my mac email account back on it. When doing the set up I constantly get a message that the there is not a connection to the Server. I have followed all the instructions on how to do it but it consistanly will not let me set the account back up. I am using the correct email address and password.

Thank you so much for the help. I had to enter my complete email address using me.com added to my sign in name and then after I got to the next page to enter the settings, I changed the address to not include the me.com information. From there everything went through just fine. This ended about a week of frustration trying with many folks at the Verizon Store to help me. I'm so grateful for your help.

HT204053 I have an older iphone that runs 4.2.1. I can not access my .mac email because it is not iCloud compatible.

My phone is not compatible with icloud and apple just discontinued mobile me. I can no longer get my .mac email on my iphone as it is version 4.2.1. Can I reconfigure my settings to get mail or am I out of luck? Help please!

Have you migrated to iCloud, if not you should do it immediately.

Question about mac email attachments

Hi,
Troubleshooting for my boss who is having trouble opening email attachments in her mac email from just one friends email account.
The attachments are xls and pdf files from a pc user who is using yahoo mail. This happened suddenly in the last week. The mac user can open other peoples attachments of the same file extensions. The mac user can also open the same blocked attachments if the files are forwarded from a different user to them. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a configuration I can change in the yahoo mail of the pc user that could have triggered the mac user to now seemingly be blocking attachments from the pc user? Several other mac and pc users can open the same email attachments from the pc user who is being blockied from my bosses mac email account. Hope this made some sense and thanks in advance for your help!

Its a Mac Pro running 10.9.4.
If it matters the pc user is running windows 7 home addition.
The problem began after the pc user accidently sent the mac user a tiff file. The mac user was unable to open that tiff file and then suddenly all other files sent by the pc user regardless of file type could not be opened by the mac user. They work together so it's imperative that they be able to send xls and pdf files back and forth. Thanks for your help.

Something REALLY ***** with .mac email

It seems that every time I write a LONG, extended email on my .mac account email, and I get the "# of misspelled words" window, in checking the words I bump the wrong key and lose the email. This has happened several times over the years, and it is very annoying. It always happens with LONG emails, and I have never been able to retrieve the unsent email. I always end up going to a yahoo account and retyping the whole thing, and it always seems like the email was more inclusive and "better" the first time - the one I lost.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there something I should know about preventing this and/or fixing it before I lost the long email I have just typed? I love using this .mac email more than yahoo or hotmail, but..... it's sooooo aggravating when this happens.
Thanks for any advice and/or help and/or just to let me know that I'm not the only one to whom this has happened.
Dennis

It is unclear... are you using Mail to compose this message or are you using the web interface to .Mac mail?

Mac email addresses

Hi, I'm comfused about my .mac.com email address!
I've been told its active until June 2012. What happens after this? Do I have to pick a new (non mac) email address?
I like having a mac address and dont want to get a hotmail, gmail or any other account.
Please help!!!

Do I have to pick a new (non mac) email address?
No. Just keep using the same email address.
Yes. If you have an active MobileMe account when you sign up for iCloud, you can keep your me.com or mac.comemail address and any email aliases you have created and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, and calendars, as well as your bookmarks, to the new service. When you're ready to make the move, go to www.me.com/move.

Cancelling 2nd .MAC email address but keeping name as alias?

I've got a .mac email address which is my primary email address. But I opened a second email address as a business email address. All the mail goes to the same account. But now I'd like to cancel my second email address and re-open it as an ALIAS in my primary email account. Is that possible? or is the second email address gone forever...
I hope that makes sense... thanks in advance for any help.

Bruno...
devoted to this the @mac address so it is very important to get it working.
Try resetting the password associated with your .mac account.
