Mac Mail has a gray gear that constantly spins behind the email address

Mac Mail has a gray gear that constantly spins behind the email address , does this mean it has trouble connecting?
I have 3 emails i receive in Mail and only one that constantly has the spinning gray gear is with google apps.
Im using the free version, and it has worked great for a year.
I tried to send a video and it ended up in my recovery box as 50 copies.
I deleted the recovery mailbox and the account im having problems with.
After deleting, i manually aded it again.
I can receive mail.
I have also followed advice given in a forum that said to go to: https://www.google.com/a/priestlaketech.com/UnlockCaptcha
My ISP has a monthly allowed bandwidth cap and im close to exceeding it, i suspect that its because mail is trying to pick up mail all the time.
Thank you for any tips you might have,

Hello Roger
Thank you for your reply but I don't think it answers my problem. You see it is not my Apple ID Account that has been hacked. I use the Internet provider company known as Westnet in Australia and my email addresses all end in Westnet.com.au
The fake email address that was created is as below:
[email protected]
What I want to know is the IP address and location where this email address was created so that I can narrow down the list of suspects

    Hey Chris, thanks for your reply.
    The problem is that i have 2 apple Id's now and i used on to purchase my macbook pro a few years back and then i created a new one for my new macbook.. i was trying to update my iphoto and imovie but it kept saying i couldnt update it as it was purchased under a different id, and seeing though i cant get into my old account i cant update what i need to. i know the password for the old one as my brother still uses it but it wont work now as hotmail says the email doesnt exist.
    in saying that i dont think i can get into the old account and change the email address

  • How do I cancel one itunes account so that I can use the email address from that account on my current account?

    I have had my itunes account connected to my work email address for the past few years.  I am now changing jobs and I am trying to change the email account connected to my itunes account.  When I entered my personal email account it says there was already an account associated with that email address but I've never used it for anything since I created it a long time ago.  Is there a way to cancel that account so that my personal email address is free to use on my current account that I currently have linked to my work email address?

    Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.

  • Mac Mail Conversations - Can you turn it off for a Specific Email address?

    In Mac Mail 6.2, is there a way to leave "Conversations" ON as a default, but turn it off in regards to a certain email address?
    Example:
    I resell printing and have multiple receipts coming from one supplier(One Email address and the same Subject Line). My problem is it is grouping those receipts into the same conversation, but each of these should be seperate because they are for more than one customer.
    Any help would be great. Thanks

    Not exactly, but the following workaround might be useful to you:
    * Create a new mail folder (either in an IMAP account or in "On My Mac").
    * Set that set conversations off for that mail folder.
    * Create a mail rule to move messages from your problem supplier to that folder.
    Downside: You have to remember to check that other folder.
    If it is important to you that the messages be available in the unified Inbox, you might be able to do something similar with a separate mail account.

  • How do I edit the email address that's set-up in my iPad Mail client?  It's at iOS7

    How do I edit the email address that's set-up in my iPad Mail Client Account?  It's at iOS7 and the email address was entered incorrectly; this means the email doesn't work.  There's an Edit button, which causes 3 horizontal lines to apperar at the end of the field, but does not seem to allow me to place the cursor in the field and correct the error.  Unless I can correct this I'll have delete the account and start again so if anyone's able to tell me how to edit that address that would be briliant?  Here's hoping................

    Thanks mabaeyens; it IS the address entered in the email account, on the iPad, but sadly, as explained above, once you get to the Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account > tap in the wrong account > Email and then hit edit, the 3 horizontal lines appear at the end of the field but touching the screen within the text of the incorrect address doesn't make the cursor appear, so I can't edit!  Very frustrating obviously.  In the edit mode you can drag the field up and down the page but that's all............

  • TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has.  One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

    Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
    Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
    There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
    One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

    For the fan issue, see if you can reset the SMC > Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    That may help the restarts as well.

    My mac mail has stopped recognising my Virginmedia passwords.  Virgin have tried to resolve the issue and created new passwords.  However, all are rejected by the Apple servers even though there is no problem with Virgin web mail.  What can I do?

  • Mac Mail has problems to display HTML embedded images

    Well Im new here , but have a real problem.
    I create  HTML pages with embedded images and send them off as MIME/multipart etc. mail through active server pages.
    So far so good. All PC users see the mails with 2 embedded images at correct positions using windows e-mail .
    However all Mac users receiving this mail have a problem,  then MAC mail show embedded images just as a box , the 2 images become attachements of the email.
    If a PC user forwards such a  received HTML e-mail to a MAC user , the MAC Mail sees the 2 images are correctly displayed.
    Thanks for hints and comments .

    Hello BDAqua
    Thanks for the dump hint - I could use it.
    Well I have not been able to track down the exact cause of the problem, but at the end I have succeeded to see the pictures even on the Mac. Initially , because I tested the HTML code against Safari/Foxpro/IE9 with success and the PC's received it as a mail  perfect with the pictures , I ruled out the code.
    After sending it with various different parameters for 7-bit coding , multipart/alternative; multipart/mixed, with and without alternative ascii-text body, etc. and having no change of the problem (in one instance Mac stuck the pictures at the end of the mail instead of having it as attachement - but never displayed inside the page) I thought about the HTMLcode again (the mail small but was consisting of a cluster of multi nested tables, where in the pictures where placed). I started from scratch with one simple table and one picture - and saw it also on the Mac, so repeated reconstruction every table layer and picture with testing each step again - and at the end - it worked all. So my conclusion is that the mentioned browsers and windows mail are made more HTML fault tolerant for little code mistakes than mac mail.  It seems that when forwarding the page from windows-mail to Mac mail , windows even corrects and thats why then it was seen ok on the Mac.
    I think that a number of people had similiar experiences. I contacted one advertising company (all Mac freaks and only Mac's there, they do a lot of Internet/Intranet design and develeopments for large companies) and asked them wether they know of any hints or problems - they simply said forget it it's not possible - which is not true - but seeing the HTML correct in all browsers doesn't mean it might ok for the mac mail.
    Well any way I now know where I am and know where to look if suddenly a picture is not shown anymore...
    Thanks for the help and all the best.

  • Have windows 7 w/email address, click on address & firefox says email default not set properly, i say ok, it transfers the email address to yahoo mail, but it always has firefoxhtml after it & i have to delete that portion, help

    I hit ctrl key & click on the email address in windows 7 that I am sending an email to. Firefox gives me the message "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed". I click the OK option & the person's email address appears in yahoo mail ready for me to compose my email, but it always puts FirefoxHTML right after the person's email address & I have to go up & delete that portion. If I forget, the email is returned as error. Please help.

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

  • I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

    I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
