Mac Mail / Erroneously Addressed + Content Errors in Email

Hi There!
I am having a very strange problem where the email selected is not matching up with my mac mail preview window (or body thereof).
- The mail in some cases shows a different email sender and content from months ago.
- My blackberry is receiving the mail properly.
- I am repairing disk permissions (of which there are lots to repair evidently), but am at a loss as to what to do next.
Thoughts?
See screenshot:

It started about two months ago, after over five years of flawless performance. Doesn't happen very often (like, maybe 1-2 instances per hundred messages, but when it does, it can REALLY foul up things (like getting spam **** with a header from my credit card, etc.)

My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again. I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?

Mac Mail: Gmail IMAP Connectivity Error

Hi,
"The server returned the error: The server “imap.gmail.com” cannot be contacted on port 993"
I am having this error when connecting to my google gmail accounts via IMAP. It works on and off. Mostly the symptom occurs after waking up from sleep mode. It started with Maverciks, but got worse with latest 10.9.2 release. Quitting the Mac Mail and restarting it fixes it.
It is getting very annoyying as the frequency of this issue has gone up.
ramana.

I also have this problem with paid Google Apps service using Mail.app on 10.9.1.
The syncranisation is very slow, and during the sync process the mail application is not responsive and Inbox does not show any new mail that has come in.
Performing a packet capture ("netstat -na | grep .993" to find IP address of Gmail server connected), and then runnning "sudo tcpdump -w ~/Desktop/gmail host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" shows that in 20 minutes, total amount of data transferred to/from Gmail is only 1.6 Megabytes!
The "All Mail" folder is disabled for IMAP under Gmail settings. There is a lot of mail on Gmail (6GB), but Mail.app has already 11GB of data in the accounts ~/Library/Mail/V2/[email protected]@imap.gmail.com folder.
Mail.app -> Window -> Activity shows very slow "Adding Messages"
It looks like the users which have less than 2GB of mail, do not seem to be affected.

Mac Mail from address-how do I change the default?

In Mac Mail, when the form comes up, often the email address that comes up is not the account I want to use. How can I edit this list? Change the order, or even delete some of the options?
Thanks,
Hal

At one time, you could edit the list order of the accounts in Mail's account preferences, but not any more. You can still set the order of accounts in Mail's sidebar in the inbox. Click on an account and drag it to the order you want.
For the list in the composing tab, that is to set the account to send new messages from. I'm not sure i understand why you feel you need to change the order of that list. Either specify the default account to always use, or choose the option of selected account. Then highlight the account under the inbox of the sidebar that you want to send a message from. Or, show the server list in new message window and change the sending account there.

Mac mail on desktop reaaly slow fetching emails

i have another mail account for my wife with .mac and for some reason on her mini mac is very very slow bringing in emails... if i go to activity viewr its seems to take ages downloading mail, tranering mailboxes and syncing etc.. and i mean slowwww. she only has 52 e-mails in her box... any ideas?

Solved the mystery. I just wasn't seeing it before. The contact info on two different contacts was somehow, accidentally altered to include my .mac email as their work email. Since they came before me in the address book, they showed up under their home email address. I removed the errant email info and the problem was solved.
thanks anyway

Mac Mail and Address Book Syncing

For some reason when I begin to type in the name of someone in Mac Mail who I know is in my address book, the automatic search and suggestion does not happen. I am physically having to go into the address book and copy and past the email address. I have looked through the iCloud settings in both the address book and mac mail and it seems to be okay. Any suggestions please.

How are contact photos in Mac Mail and Address book used?

I am trying to understand who will see my photo (user account picture) that I can see in my contact listing from address book. Will other mac users see this photo when I email them? Will PC users see it? I think it showed up on my blackberry in an email I sent myself. Is that possible?

Nobody can see that picture but you. If you assign pictures to contacts, they will show up as a badge on e-mails from that contact.

TS3276 mac mail says address invalid, use a pc mail goes through no problem. I have Lion

Mac mail says no such adress for a buisness. When I use a pc message goes through no problem.

Make sure you have the correct email address on your Mac.

Mac mail on Macbook pro not sending email suddenly

OS X 10.6.8
Mac mail was working up to yesterday.
NO changes to the box or mail.
Mail will receive but not send mail; alerts with an smtp error.
Installed Thunderbird, same problem.
Mac mail on an iMac, works fine.
Thunderbird on Win Vista works fine.
pop and smtp settings are identical on all boxes.
Turned off the firewall on the laptop - no joy
Searched and have killed/rebuilt the keychain several times.
Confirmed password is correct
I have not killed and recreated the mail account; if that actually works, let me know and I'll try again.
I have rebuilt the mailbox - no joy.
Ran the diagnostics and green lights on both pop and smtp so it seems that logins are working, just can't send mail.
Any suggestions? Is there any reason that mail would stop working on the laptop but continue working on the desktop? I'm not a Mac guy so I've run out of options and any pointers would be appreciated.

"Note all the settings on the functional Mac and then transfer them to the non-functional one."
That'd be the problem. I've checked and double checked the settings/configuration; even went over them with my wife reading one set and me the other - everything matches. So, I'm making the assumption that we're missing the forest for the trees and it's something totally stupid like a swapped set of letters or an L for an I kind of thing. In order to totally eliminate these kinds of S.U.E.'s, I'd like to move a copy of the files that are the actual config from the working machine to the non-functional machine.
Since OSX is basically BSD, I'm kind of making the assumption that all the important stuff is stored in config files; I just have not been able to figure out which files and where they live.
Keep in mind that the laptop went toes up without anyone making any changes so I'm not totally convinced the issue is a typo. I've searched for other reasons a system would stop sending mail and am not getting any hits that are meaningful. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
TIA

Mac Mail downloading archived, deleted and trash email from my Gmail account.

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina - retiring my old MacBook. When I synced Gmail with my Mac Mail all archived/deleted Gmail is coming in like new into my Mac Mail Inbox. This was never the case before. Any idea how to stop this? It's downloading thousands of emails in the order I received them.

Turns out a hard reset did the trick

Mac Mail randomly deleting more than one email at a time when using the garbage can icon

I have been using Macs since the 2e, so I know about things like "rules" and such. However I just went from 10.6 to 10.8.2 and now have this wierd glitch, beyond the random dropping of my wifi connection. That is an iritation, the muti-deleting of mails in my inbox is much worse.
Basically I click on the highlighted Email to trash it, and the next one in line goes too. This is a random occurance (about once every 4 or 5 deletes) but realy needs to stop. Does anyone see this, besides me?
Took the combigned 10.6.8 to 10.8.2 update (digital of course).

2.66 GHz Intel Core i5

I have the same problem, did you get a resaloution?
