Mac Mail Always Removing Messages from Hotmail

I have a Hotmail account that dates back to 2005 and I have recently bought a new Macbook Pro and Mountain Lion. It took about 2 days to download all my messages into Mail.
The problem is that my Mail started to get delayed coming through and then stop occasionaly with a Port 995 error.
If I check the activity window I can see the potential problem but I don't know how to solve it:
The activity window says 'Fetching new mail' and underneath this it says 'Removing message x of 43,583' (x being the message number being removed)
I use my laptop pretty much all day, but somewhere along the line the process restarts and so it never finishes to remove the messages and this is obviously holding up the server.
Would anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks

Having monitored the situation, it appears to be a software issue. There is in infinite loop with removing messages from the server. I found it completes the removal and then begins again holding up the server.
Every time it completes the 'removal' my new messages are downloaded. After this the 'removal process' beings again in the activity window!

Mac mail automatically deletes messages from two weeks prior

I'm using Mac Mail on 10.6.8 - snow leopard. I use this program for my work emails and mail will automatically delete messages in my Inbox that are two weeks old. The email account is IMAP. I have looked in the "Account Preferences/ Advanced" and can not find a setting to correct this. What am I missing?

Are you sure it's Mail that's doing this? It could be on the other end (the server end).
Mac Mail has a preference for "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message", but there's no choice for 2 weeks, so I doubt that's it.

Mac Mail deleted inbox messages from yahoo mail, how to get them back?

I recently started using the Mac Mail client with my yahoo-plus email account.
What Mac Mail did was delete ALL inbox messages from my yahoo account, after one week from importing them to Mac Mail.
The inbox messages can still be found in the Mac Mail inbox, but not in yahoo's inbox.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
I would appreciate you help on this issue.

The Yahoo server did exactly what you Mail program told it to do.
Mail/Preferences/Account/Advanced - This setting is adjustable for each mail account.
I didn't know about this feature until it was too late. I have already unchecked it for future emails.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Not Really, you could forward them to your account, after you've told your mail program not to delete the emails at all, but they will show up as being from you instead of the original sender. The originals at Yahoo have been dumped and probably purged. It would take an IT manager at Yahoo to manually replace the emails, not much chance of that.
I've already asked yahoo to "restore" my inbox to a day ago. That should help me with retrieving some of the messages back, I hope.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
The sync feature refers to IMAP email accounts like .Mac or .Me or an Imap gmail account. I didn't think Yahoo offered IMAP email accounts.
Apple's MobileMe membership will let you sync your Mail, AddressBook, Calender, personal website with iWeb, etc.
"MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync."
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
I wanted to use Mac Mail, see if I liked it or not, then decide to get a MobileMe account. However, this is still a side note, since my yahoo account is my main email client.
You seem to be very well informed, and I was wondering if I can ask you to clarify a point for me. Do you know how to archive the inbox in the Mac Mail?
And thank you for answering my queries.

When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted.

When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted. Any way for both the received and sent mail that resides there to be deleted?
I create a lot of project folders where i keep all my conversations regarding the project. Once the project is finished i would like to just delete the folder and get rid of all the emails associated with it but when i delete the folder i've noticed that only received messages are deleted. Now I am stuck trying to sort through my sent folder for messages that were returned there after the conversations was supposedly deleted.

Mail/Preferences/Viewing - un-check include related messages, delete the folder, then go back and reset yo include.

Mail 6.2 IMAP account removes messages from server

I've been running Mail fine for years but when I upgraded the Macbook Pro from Snow Leopard to 10.8.2 Mail began to remove messages from my mail server even though it is an IMAP account.
It is set to keep copies for offline use.
The exact same setup works fine on Snow Leopard in the iMac.
There are no plugins in Mail on the MBP/ML setup.
Have I missed some obvious setting?

Update - Attempted the following to resolve with no success:
Shutdown and restart Mail
Restart MacBook
Disable and enable Exchange account
Monitored the Activity window and everything looked OK.
Review with Connection Doctor. An interesting observation of the Detail screen of Connection Doctor is that I did not see any activity for my Exchange domain. Activity was listed for all other email accounts except the Exchange account. Hmmm......
Finally had to remove the Exchange account and re-create it. Only then did the recent and other email appear.
Arrrrgggghhhh......

Mail always being sent from first account

When I click "reply", my mail always goes out from my eathlink account, even if the original email came in on my website account. I have to manually change it, to have it go out from website account.
How can I set the default so all my mails now are sent from my web account automatically?
Thanks

Hello Mimi.
Have you created and are accessing your website email account as a separate email account in Mail or are you forwarding messages received by your website email account to your Earthlink email account?
If you are accessing your website email account as a separate email account in Mail, when hitting reply for a message received by your website email account, the website email account should be used by default as the sending email account.
With all Mail.app versions prior to Tiger Mail, there is not a default email account selection used when selecting New to compose a new message.
When selecting New to compose a new message with Jaguar or Panther Mail, the default email account used is based on the current mailbox selected in the Mailboxes drawer. If you have your website email account's Inbox or Sent mailbox selected in the mailboxes drawer when selecting New to compose a new message, the website email account will be chosen as the sending email account automatically.
When "In" or "Sent" or a user created "On My Mac" mailbox is selected in the mailboxes drawer (without an account's mailbox selected), the default account used when selecting New to compose a new message is the first account listed in the Account's pane or list at Mail > Preferences > Accounts. If you are accessing multiple/separate accounts in Mail, you can select/drag the chosen account in the Account's pane or list to the top of the list to be listed first.
Tiger Mail includes a default "Send new mail from" account selection preference when selecting New to compose a new message regardless which mailbox is selected in the Mailboxes drawer but when selecting reply or forward for a message received by an email account, the default account used is the account the message was received by.

Apple mail not uploading messages from server

i've got a weird problem - about a week ago, my apple mail program stopped uploading messages to one of my emails accounts. i've been getting messages to that account, and when i right click on the account, apple mail shows me that i have like 100 + unread messages on my pop server, but for some reason, it isn't uploading the messages so that i can access them.
i've spent nearly 2 hours troubleshooting. i even deleted the whole account and made it again, and it did the same thing. this makes me think there is something with my email host or something.
any ideas?

When you say “uploading” you actually mean “downloading”, right?
Sometimes messages left on the server clog up the account there, or Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require deleting one or more messages from the server. What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings for this account?
You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded doing Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
Try first removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded. If that doesn’t work, you’ll probably have to delete the first message not downloaded yet. You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them -- and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

Mac Mail - Cannot Remove Attachments

I have an intermittent problem in that I often cannot remove attachments from mail messages. It is very inconsistent, and I cannot find a pattern.
Oftentimes, when I send an email with a large attachment, I want to keep the email text, but don't need/want the attachment (as I have it on my hard drive anyhow). But when I select the message, Remove Attachments on the Messages menu is greyed out. Again, it is intermittent as I sometimes can delete the attachments.
I am using Maverics and the latest software updates. My mail server is Exchange.
Any ideas how to solve?
Thanks.

I have the same problem (and same configuration). Either of the following works for me:
1) rebuild the mailbox - sometimes I have to rebuild multiple times but eventually it works
2) find another message where the system will let you remove attachments - select both that message and the problematic message and remove attachments - it seems that if the system is able to remove messages from at least one of all the selecte messages, it will remove the attachments from all of the selected messages
I'm getting a new laptop soon and have decided that I will give up on Apple Mail and switch back to Outlook with the new computer. I'd had more problems with Apple Mail than I have ever had with Outlook. (cannot remove attachments - entire message is corrupted when an attachment is removed - messages are not visible in the mailbox until after the mailbox is rebuilt - intentionally deleted messages reappear after the mailbox is rebuilt - custom stationary only produces the subject line and not the content of the message when applied to a new message - multiple copies of a single draft e-mails which cannot be deleted until I rebuild the mailbox to clean up the clutter)
I'm now rebuilding my mailbox at least 10 times a week just to simply manage the mail, and I'm just an average user - not trying to do anything special. It's not worth the trouble.

Error in java code for removing messages from a Topic

Trying to write a code using oracle.jms package to remove messages from Topic. I have a similar code with javax.jms package for removing messages from Queue and it is working well. Whereas i have written this new code for removing messages from topic using oracle.jms package as methods like CreateBrowser and CreateTopicReceiver for topic are provided in oracle package only and can't be used from javax.jms package.
Error i am getting is JMS-126: Invalid Topic specified at
         receiverTopic   = (Topic) ctx.lookup(((String)receiverProps.get( "Q_NAME")).trim() );
         System.out.println ("receiverTopic is[" + receiverTopic + "]");
         MBeanHome home = (MBeanHome) Helper.getAdminMBeanHome("username","pwd","url:port");
         ((AQjmsSession)topicSession).grantSystemPrivilege("MANAGE_ANY", "SA", true);
         for(Iterator i = home.getMBeansByType("JMSTopic").iterator();i.hasNext(); )
          WebLogicMBean wmb = (WebLogicMBean)i.next();
          System.out.println("topic name found: " + wmb.getName());
            topicBrowser   = ((AQjmsSession) topicSession).createBrowser(receiverTopic, "Edin");topic handle which i am receiving in receiverTopic is same as what i am expecting but still it says Invalid topic specified on createBrowser method. Anyone who can help me to write this type of code, please reply. If anyone has ready code for this situation, please reply with the same as i am working on a prodcution system and we are in serious situation to resolve this problem.

Hi,
I am afraid this is impossible. You need to find another solution like a filtering queue. Your messages can be sent to a queue that is monitored by let say a MDB. This MDB will maintain a map of title and only forward once a given title/message to your topic.
Hope it helps.

Mac mail keeps sending emails from different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing.

mac mail keeps sending emails from my different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder and correct email account was highlighted. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing and annoying.

Hi Mike,
I had the same issue and managed to solve it.
Go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Then in the account information tab, at the bottom should be outgoing mail server (SMTP) and click the drop down box
Mine had a few different servers in it so i went into edit SMPT server list. Click advanced and it will tell you which ones are going from which email address.
Delete the ones you dont want, and it should work or instead of deleting click use only this server, i imagine that will work to
Hope This Helps

How can i remove messages from faces context

hi
how can i remove messages from faces context
with regards
shannu sarma

I'm also looking to find a way to remove message/s from FacesContext, and so far I've not been able to do this.
The issues described below (if you have the patience to understand it) may uncover some JSF issues when combining different functionalities in JSF to come up with a solution.
I have a requirement to display (let's just say error) messages in a message board. I do this in 2 steps: field-level validations are done first, and if all corrected (by the user), I do multi-field-level as well as business logic validation after model update (the way JSF seems to be designed to handle different types of validations). Let's say I have a combination of 3 combo-boxes that are dependent on one another. Selection from (1) requires dynamically filtering and setting a list for two and that in turn requires dynamically filtering and setting a list for 3, so the first two have valueChangeListener (try doing this in JSF!!!, I had to hack my way through to set this up with JSF, but that is not the issue). I have business rules associated with items within combo (1) and other entry fields entered by users (i.e. for simplicity let's just say, if material 'chain' is selected from combo 1, I should set combo (2) and (3), and validate that user entered at least four in # used entry field). Let's say I have a table with many rows of above combination of combo-boxes specified. Again for simplicity, assume we only have business rule violations (not field-level that would not go through model update):
* User selects many combination of entried before submit (with no field-level error)
* Business rules are checked and messages added to FacesContext and displayed in a message board
* Next, all these messages disappear from the view when selecting any item from any combo-box (with valueChangeListeners attached to them) - 2 reasons: 1. a new FacesContext is created per valueChangeEvent 2. Business model update does not happen (so we don't generate these messages again and add them to FacesContext, it is not efficient to do so anyways)
* we would like to display all those business logic validation messages so the user could correct them all (and not lose them by any combo-box selection)
* As a workaround, I add these messages to session (which is another issue, since FacesMessages are not serializable) at the end of business logic validation, and retrieve and display them by (a.) forcing combo-boxes go through (field-level) validation, (b.) adding a new hidden field at the end of all fields in JSP page with a custom-validator that all it does is to get messages saved to session (from the last business logic validation) and add them to the FacesContext - this ensures that messages are not lost due to combo-box selections
* The problem is that when user submits (to validate the business rules again), since the old Business validations messages are added to FacesContext at the end of field-level validation, I need to clear them, before adding the newly generated messages
* But....I can't remove messages from FacesContext
So here's a reason for this 'needed' functionality, based on whatever is available (as of JSF 1.1.01). Is there a better way to this, I'll be delighted to hear it (as I have tried different solutions myself with above combination of issuses), and have wasted some time trying to work-around the issues I've faced using JSF (in every one of those ways I've tried) ....part of which is described here...
Thanks...

Mail mixes up messages from senders

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I've had problems with Mail. I resolved the issue regarding the disappearance of all my mail on my laptop but am now puzzled with Mail mixing-up messages from senders. For example, I click on the "from" category for a vendor/friend, and get the mail (e.g., subject/content) from a different vendor/friend. In other words, I might click on mail sent from PETCO and mail from my insurance company appears in the body of the e-mail. Any suggestions?

Outgoing Mac Mail always send from the same address?

Hey y'all -
I use 3 gmail accounts through mac mail for 3 different purposes - all fine. But when I send mail, regardless of what account I send it from, recipients always recieve my emails from the same address? E.G. I send an email from addresses 1 or 2, but when they are received they are from address 3? I've also removed address 3 from mac mail, but recipients STILL see address 3 as the sender. Can anyone help? Would a reinstall of mail be appropriate, if so what would be the effective way to go about it?
Thanks in advance,
Stu

SOLVED IT!
Right, I had multiple email accounts, all gmail, address 1 2 & 3.
All mail went to the right addresses, fine. But when I compose, lets say from address 1 or 2, it ALWAYS ends up being received the other end by address 3. I only find this out until I get a reply delivered to the wrong address.
SO go to preferences, select one of the problematic addresses, then outgoing mailserver (SMTP:) in this case it will say Gmail. Click it so you get the drop down and edit SMTP list. There is a tab that says advanced. This is where I noticed the problem. On my list of SMTP servers I had one for my microsoft account, and then one Gmail one for all 3 gmail accounts. And what did I find for authentication? the username and password of the problem address that ALL my gmail accounts were sending through. You need to create SEPERATE smtp servers for each and every account, especially when using multiple accounts of the same kind (e.g. 3 gmails!)
This fixed the problem for me perfectly and now my emails send from the CORRECT selected address. HOORAH!
ALSO...
Regardless weather it by gmail or hotmail you compose from, mac defaults to using the next working server. Before setting up seperate smtp servers for each gmail I just deleted the one that was there and then it started sending from microsoft account etc... just to clarify that it works regardless of account type!

Mail App deleting messages from .Mac server

Hi
I haven't seen this issue on this board. Let me know if I'm wrong.
This is on the interaction between my .Mac email account and the Mail Application. I have two email accounts set up.
I have 2 computers and keep my mail on one, so I kept my previous (Eudora) mail apps set to "leave mail on server" on the other.
I don't see a setting for this for my .Mac email account in Mail.app. When I check my mail with the Mail.app recently, on the computer where I don't keep my mail, it is deleting the mail from the .Mac account. I don't think it did this before. The mail is no longer on .Mac when I check via a browser.
My earthlink pop account seems to be working fine.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated

Whether it's correct or not depends on the
circumstances under which mail is removed from the
server. If it's because it's being moved out of the
account Inbox and into "On My Mac" custom
mailboxes, then yes, it's correct.
For IMAP-type accounts, mail on account mailboxes are
stored on the server instead of locally (you can
configure this behavior for mailboxes other than
Inbox in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox
Behaviors). Whatever you do to that mail you're
doing it to the mail stored on the server. If you
tell Mail to move a message out of Inbox,
that's what Mail does, it moves the message out of
Inbox at the server.
Thanks -- so if I understand this properly, the mail is stored on the inbox on the server, but if I have a rule that moves it to a mailbox that I created locally (imported from Eudora, for example) it moves it from the server to my local mailbox *not leaving a copy on the server*. I have lots of mailboxes that I use to sort the mail and rules to route messages. So to correct this issue I should disable the rules if I don't want the mail moved off the server and into a local mailbox.
Many thanks for your help and patience

How do I stop Mail from removing messages from my Gmail server?

I have checked several of the posts in here already and do not seem to be able to find an answer to my question. In the version of Mail on Tiger, on the Account preferences pane and the advanced tab, there is an option check box to Remove Message after retrieving from server (or something like that) In the version of mail in Snow Leopard, that option is no longer on the Advanced tab and I can't find it anywhere. I deleted my Gmail account and re-added it to see if I missed it somewhere in the process.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for your reply! That answers my question, but creates another. How do you setup a POP3 account? If I click on the add account button and put in my Gmail credentials, it automatically sets up as IMAP. I am not even given the option to setup as POP3.
Thanks!
