Mac mail advanced settings has a box for compact mailboxes automatically that wasn't there before

I have att.net mail.  recently been having problems with receiving and sending mail.  In my Mac Mail (on my iMac) in preferences under accounts, and then advanced tab, there is a grayed out box (which I cannot unclick) that says Compact mailboxes automatically.  This was not there before trying to fix the problem with att.  How do I un-gray the box?  Or is it supposed to be there?

Do you have any rules setop?
Have you looked in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced tab?
But with it not showing, is this what you tried...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • Why is there a thin dark line between two of my three cover images that wasn't there before?  When I delete the images, you can tell that there is extra space between the first two image boxes.

    Getting ready to purchase my first book, I looked over everything once more and noticed that there is now a thin gray line between the first two of my three cover images.  I believe this may have happened when I switched out the left image.  When I delete the images, you can see an extra space between the center and left image boxes.  How can I fix this without starting over?

    What size book? Are you previewing this way -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

    If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    It sounds like your iPad is disabled and not recognized in iTunes.  Here are the troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this scenario.

    When I open mac mail, it opens 1000 emails in separate windows. Emails that are not even in my account anymore. The system freezes and the only thing I can do is force quit. Can anyone help?

    You should post in the Mail forum area of whichever os is installed on your computer.

    Sorry.
    The iPhone is of no use until/unless the previous owner removes it from their account.
    You will need to find the prior owner or return the iPhone.

  • Mavericks has been downloading for 4 hours, is that normal?

    Mavericks has been downloading for 4 hours, is that normal?

    Depends on your internet connection speed - I've heard of fast and slower. It is a huge file: about 5 GB; with my connection it takes at least 2.5 hours. What is your connection speed?
    Edit: based on your second post, you are downloading Mountain Lion update (shown at the bottom) and are trying to download Mavericks at the same time? Can't download two OS versions at the same time. So, wait until you have the Mountain Lion updated and installed and then try Mavericks again.

  • Issues with Mac Mail & smtp Settings

    For the past several days, I have had issues sending from Mail.  I get an error message that mail cannot connect to the server.  I've removed and re-added the outgoing mail settings and the smtp setting is correct.  I've installed all updates and shut down and restarted numerous times.  Every now and again, a message will get through and send very slowly, but most of the time, it just tells me it cannot send and offers me the chance to "Try Later" or "Try with Selected Server." 
    Anyone else experiencing such issues - would love to know troubleshooting advice.
    Thanks!

    Hello kgoody,
    I have not been able to use my mac mail for 2 months now because of the server issue. "Try later" or "Try with selected server " were at the beginning of this nightmare. Since then I have not received a single email in the inbox. I downloaded an article "How to use Gmail with Apple's Mail" by Stephen Korecky and tried to fix the problem. It did not work because the Apple Mail windows did not show what they were supposed to. I called my software wizard and he said he will have to come and fix it. He did not show up yet. It is very frustrating.

  • Does Mac Mail's "Quick Look URL" option for links prevent software from being downloaded onto my computer?

    I received an e-mail from a friend that had a suspicious looking link embedded in it. I did not navigate to the link in my web browser but I did do a "quick look" in Mac Mail. Does this open me up to any vulnerability? If so, is there a way to check to see if any malicious software and/or viruses were downloaded onto my MacBook?
    Thanks!

    Hi Dave,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    It's possible (more likely the drive is dead) that the drive's directory is damaged. If that's the case, Disk Warrior may be able to fix it. At $80US for Disk Warrior, I'd be more inclined to replace the drive. If your patient and can wield a few small tools, you can replace it yourself.

    I'd like to edit that by (1) getting rid of the blank line, and (2) rephrasing it or getting rid of the time and date info.
    Is that possible? If so, how? I can't find it anywhere in the PReferences.
    Thanks.

  • Mac mail suddenly refuses to include one of my aol accounts that i have had forever

    I have 3 aol accounts that Mac mail has always supported Now it refuses (rejects) one of them. This happened all of a sudden.  Nothing I did changed it, and nothing I do now will repair it. I have taken ALL accounts Offline and then brought them back ONline, and that didn't work.

    See what Mail/Window/Connect Doctor is showing. If you get a red server, select it and check the Show Details box.

    You can also try deleting the account and adding it back.

  • Equalizer for Audigy Live Missing !! ( was there before)

    8Equalizer for Audigy Li've Missing !! ( was there before)T Hello
    I change my computer so I reinstall my drivers.
    Problem is I scratch my Cd that was sold with my card ( it says Audigy sound blaster 24bit on it). So I Thought no probelm I just download from the net the drivers but big problem then !! No Equalizer is provided in the driver I installed from the internet !! And then I cant find them !
    I tried to manually copy the /program file/creative/equalizer/*.* of my old computer to the new one, but after complaining about missing dll in /system32 then It just doesnt start.( I did copy the missing dll it was requesting but now it just doesnt lauch).
    Where can i download : the whole audigy CD , or the equalizer setup progam? Why is it not included in your web drivers ?
    Im on XP sp3. (both old and new computer)
    my card is an audigy Li've!
    thank you.

    <? hello thank you for your link but none of those worked ( even the called SB 24 , and audigy ). So i connected a new dvd dri've and was finally able to read my damage cd and install the drivers. It's a real pity creative dont publish their drivers !! My card was an OEM , so without box then the least they can do is to provide drivers/equalizer on their site. Equalizer is not an " add on" it's the minimum you can request from the card !! (Next time i'l buy a realteck they are so easy to install from the net! )
    So my cd ID is ( disk.id):
    Sound Blaster Audigy
    SBA-SIS2D--LB
    QS:07280
    R6
    Then the product : you dont even know what you own ! sometimes in application like FL studio it says you have a SB Li've !, but on the creative tool it says audigy .. There isnt any program that can check the rom or something from the card to tell you exactly what your card is.
    Very dissapointed. wont buy that again.
