Mac Mail is constantly forwarding same email to my BB 8120.

I'm suffering an annoying problem whenever I type a new email using my Mac Mail (Version 3.3).
As I compose a new email I'm constantly bombarded by new message alerts on my Blackberry 8120 of the actual email I'm writing. It is sending multiple alerts even as I am still writing the same message.
So for example I'll open Mac Mail and type in the subject box, cue an alert on my phone notifying me of a new message. This "new" message is actually the email I'm still writing on the Mac Mail. I'll carry on typing the email and yet again I will be notified on my phone of a new message.... and yes you guessed it, it's the email I'm still composing, only now it contains the subject and the few words that I have typed, and so this carries on.... and on.
It seems that if I don't type it does not send anything, but the moment I type several words, beep! I have a new message. Typically I'll end up with five message alerts each showing various stages of my email.
As you might expect It's beginning to really grate me.
If anybody can help me I would be very grateful.
Kind Regards

But this is just a workaround solution. I am basically loosing the ablity to save my draft mail to the server and may later send it from my office or any other place where i dont have my macbook with me.
This doesnt happen when i save draft from the web-gmail or with microsoft euntroge (I havent checked whether euntroge puts the draft message on the server ).
I use a gmail account. Have anyone of you found issues with any other email account?

When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook. Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook. Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into inbox?

How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into the inbox over and over again? It does the same thing with deleted messages that keep showing up again and again in multiples even after deleting them. I have made sure my server settings in all email accounts are set to delete immediately once I delete them on my MacBook Pro/IPhone. This issue has severely compromised the efficiency of Mail on my MacBook. Thanks for any help you're able to give me.

I have tried that but it does not fix the problem.
The "card" group is not a previous recipient.
Although not available for editing in Contacts, it is a valid group showing up in the "To" field of Messages, Mail, or any app using the AddressBook.
Its associated file is automatically created in:
~/Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/Sources/<hexaFolder>/MetaData/<hexa>ABG roup.abcdg
This is why it also shows up in the Spotlight results...
If I manually remove this file, it gets recreated...
If I turn off the syncing through iCloud, the entry gets deleted. If I turn it up, it comes back!

POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Mac Mail - when I forward or reply to emails the forwarding email dissapears

Hope someone has had this experienced this. When I forward and email or reply to an email, the new window comes forward and my new email is at the top (including signature) but the email I am forwarding or replying to is often blank - or maybe the original signaure line but thats it. I biggest problem is that this does not happen on every sigle email or emails from 1 specific person...any hints or ideas how to stop this would be apprecaited.

That's probably because the message is in HTML format. Send the reply as plain text.

Why is mac mail so myopic regarding contact emails?

i would very much like to organize all my contacts which i am doing very slowly with software called Cardscan that lets me scan and sort my business cards. i also have a personally oriented database in my Mac Contacts (Mountain Lion)/Mac Address Book (Lion).
i /think/ at this point that i have decided to keep all the business contacts in Cardscan and all the personal contacts in Mac Contacts by /exporting/(!) data from one database to the other.
however, does anyone know why Previous Recipients is so darn hinky or how to work around its very obvious limitations? i mean, right now i have a monster list in Previous Recipients on my Mac Pro that representes personal and business email addresses that i have either added to Mac Contacts or NOT added to Mac Contacts. and i also have a Previous Recipients list on my Mac Book Pro that represents the same kind of data.
this of course means that Mac Mail will autocomplete with different information depending on whether i am using my iPhone my Mac Pro or my MacBookPro which is a major drag since if it DOESN'T autocomplete i have to go searching through my IMAP mail to find the persons emails in order to copy and paste this address into an email.
is there some way to SENSIBLY have this information accessible on all my devices (iPhone, Mac Pro and MBP)??!! i mean, can i somehow create a database of this information and have it accessible?
i tried to tackle this at some point when someone wrote a SCRIPT that automatically dumped all the Previous Recipients into a folder "Previous Recipients on my Mac Pro" and "Previous Recipients on my MBP" which each existed in my Mac Contacts database but i have been working so hard to clean up other aspects of my contacts (i.e. business cards in cardscan and how this database relates to the Mac Contacts database) that i cannot remember if simply running this script again will give me some kind of moderate fix for this.
i mean, this means that ALL the addresses in each of the Previous Recipients databases now clutter up my All Contacts section of Contacts and i can't remember if this is a small price to pay to have email addresses accessible when i travel...
anyway, any good suggestions on this would be really welcome because every time i post on this problem i feel like also saying:
bueller, bueller, bueller...?

Unfortunately I cannot help on your specific question
Though speaking as a complete “non-techie” the SCRIPT idea sounds good and I am assuming you got the list using the steps described:
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/apple_mail_finding_sorting_removing_previ ous_recipients
How to get that into a database at the moment is sadly beyond me. Best wishes for that.
Hopefully someone will help!!

Mac Mail do not read/show emails prior Lion update

Hi!
I have faced the same problems as many others with Mac Mail (on my iMac), ie. could not launch Mail after update. Solved that problem with deleting some plist-files and everything looked good.
However, Mail can not read/show/find emails prior the update from yesterday. At the top of Mail screen it states I have 8919 emails in my inbox. In the left column (or second left after mailbox(es) column) can I see from whom emails was sent and headlines, but when I click on one of them (it doesn't matter which one prior the update) the message won't show up in bigger field to the right. It just says: Reading..., and the gray spinning icon (shown at start up) spins endlessly.
Emails I received after update yesterday show up as the should do. Very strange when my emails seem to be there according to figure (8919) at top, but Mail seem not be able to find them. Any solution to that and I would be highly greatful.
Cheers /Friss

Bump this one.
I have the same problem with my mail after update - Any suggestions anyone?

Mac Mail updated, lost all my emails, iPhone gets emails, iMac doesn't.

Hi
I booted my mac which seemed to do some kind of update (this was a few days ago) and mac mail was also updated. However it lost one of my email accounts during the process and all my sent items are gone. I can still find them using spotlight but they dont appear in mail anymore.
What is also strange is that my iPhone is collecting new emails from my pop account (set to leave emails on server) but the iMac never picks these emails up. Its like the iPhone is removing them from the server regardless of settings. I disabled the iphone from collecting email but the iMac doesnt get them still.
The account settings seem ok and I can send emails using these accounts.
So,
1. Why is my iMac not collecting pop based emails that the iPhone gets from the same account?
2. How to i put all the sent emails back into Mac Mail from the hard drive? And where are they?
Thanks for any help.

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
From what level of OXS and Mail would it have been updating from?
In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail -- is there only one POP account folder related to this account? Open this POP account folder -- do you see the Sent Message.mbox folder? Does it contain only one Info.plist file and one Messages folder?
Were it not for the failure to receive new messages, I would simply recommend to Rebuild the Sent mailbox, but I think more than that might be needed.

Mac Mail on 10.7.5-email account offline?

Stumped. Trying to help a friend out.
Mac OS 10.7.5 combo installed.
Mac Mail account shows offline. Take online, send/receive. Resets to offline.
Checked server settings (waiting for official setting from web hosting site that email is based on).
Curious, would email settings that are NOT the ISP server (i.e. Using Comcast as provider but only send/receive mail of the web domain host) cause issue?
(like blocked by comcast if they think outgoing email is a relay...no more than 20 messages an hour or 200 a day)
I've seen a few posts that others have this under 10.7.5. Before I recommend upgrade to 10.8.3 (drastic and unneeded but who knows), anyone have suggestions on what to look for? And yes, will backup BEFORE removing any prefs or other...
Odd that it was all working. It is not consistent. Thanks for any enlightenment.

Ok, I think I solved this. It was odd. I had friend's acct info and everything correct except one thing.
I accidentally found that in the SMTP advanced setting, where you have two areas to fill in, Description and Server for the mail server. The description had some arbitrary name like "P" for the P mail... server. Making the Description have the same name as the actual Server (mail.example.net) in both places caused the account to not only go online, but work as intended! (I was monitoring with Connection Doctor window open).
I found this extremely odd and by accident (I was compating another mac, configured with same account info but older OS. I noticed it had different information in this area).
I am suspect that something along the migration (from 10.4.11->10.5.8->10.6->10.7.5) from a G5 to MacPro 2012 left something behind that affected Mac Mail prefs.

TS3276 Mac Mail on Lion stopped receiving emails on 1 of 3 accounts, but not showing any errors. I can still receive on iPad

I have 3 POP accounts set up on my MacBook Pro all witht eh same provider. No problem sending email. Then the main account suddenly does not receive any email. No error messages and I only worked this out when no emails ther ein the monring. Checking on webmail and on iPad I see lots of emails but then why is the MacBook not getting them. The other 2 accounts work perfectly OK.
No settings have been changed
A big puzzle!

I found the problem.
I had a 21 MB email sent to me. Mac Mail obviously was unable to get it due to some form of time out (but no error messages) and since this one could not be downloaded it prevented everything else after it to be downloaded.
Surprisingly the iPad + iPhone showed the headers and thus allowed all other emails to be also displayed after it.
Deleting this big email from webmail cleared the way.
Problem solved

Mac Mail error when viewing Hotmail email - please help.

When Hotmail is viewed via Mac Mail, the To: field displays the recipient’s name & Hotmail address. There is a serious problem with my incoming Hotmail … instead of displaying my name and Hotmail email address it displays my friend’s name (initials are RB) alongside my Hotmail email address ... for every Hotmail email that is sent to me no matter who emails me. My contact/address book entries for my name and my friend are correct in Mac Address Book and Hotmail Contacts. Very strange.
Mac Mail seems to be adding recipient name to the To: field of all of my Hotmail emails & putting in the wrong name next to my email address! I say this because the official www.hotmail.com site only displays a recipient email address in the To: field (no name appears). This error is only happening in Mac Mail with my Hotmail emails (not happening with my Gmail and Yahoo emails).
How/why is a wrong name/my friend's name displayed next to my email address in every Hotmail message I view in Mac Mail?
This error is only occurring in incoming Hotmail messages addressed to me. Emails that I send using my Hotmail show my name & email address correctly in the From field.
I am very concerned about this since my Hotmail account has been my primary email address for over ten years and appears on my business cards, etc. I am trying to avoid the hassle of creating another primary email elsewhere.
Thanks in advance for your help in resolving this problem.
Here is some background information:
Using Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
My Hotmail address ends with @msn.com … not Hotmail.com.

I don't think this is a Mail vs. GoDaddy issue. Rather, it looks like a DNS issue. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it'll ask for your password, regardless of whether that's really the problem or not. It could be that mail.yourdomain.com isn't resolving to the right IP address for some reason, for example.
Although unlikely in this case, it could also be a Keychain issue. Open Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the Keychain. If that doesn't work, you may try removing the password entry from the Keychain, and let Mail create it again.
Also, open Mail Help and read the article titled Mail keeps asking for my keychain password, in case there is something there that applies to you. There is a related article titled My password is not saved that you should ignore, as the last suggestion provided there (deleting the mail account) is wrong and could cause irretrievable data loss if this is not an IMAP-type account.

Mac Mail v. Entourage - default email

Does anyone know how to make Entourage your default email program as opposed to Mac Mail? Thanks!!

gmail yes. it's very easy as it has automatic setup for gmail and all you need to do is enter you email and password. for hotmail I think you need hotmail plus to access it from an email client such as Mail. I don't use it so you'd better check with hotmail on this.

Mac mail doesn't connect to emails

Hi everyone,
Ever since I updated to Mavericks, my emails don't connect to Mac Mail.
I tried deleting the email addresses/accounts and adding them back in but now it doesn't connect at all.
I have gmail and hotmail and am not sure what I should be setting my Incoming and outgoing servers as.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
-Judy

It attempts to set the servers. After a long period of waiting, it gives me the message that it has to be configured manually.
urm...ok so after deleting the accounts and attempting to add it back on, it doesn't initially "work". I restarted my macbook and now it works.
macmail has reset the incoming and outgoing servers:
gmail:
hotmail:
but then I have another hotmail account and it shows:
I hope it continues to work. My mailbox has been working on/off for the past week or so...
Thanks!!

Mac Mail No Longer Sends Outgoing Email

Has Verizon changed its email settings? My Mac Mail program suddenly quit sending out my university email from home and says the outgoing verizon server rejected the password. However, nothing has been changed in my email program and it won't accept any password to send the outgoing email.
The online instructions provided by Verizon for Entourage indicate changing the outgoing port setting to 587. But that does not work.
Why can't the Mac Mail program send out email through Verizon any more?
Solved!

Thanks for helping. While the university has web mail for off campus access, our IT said that off campus users (i.e., when at home) using a dedicated email client (e.g., Mac Mail) should send outgoing email through their internet service provider. I agree, it doesn't seem right to me, but that's what they have us do.
Settings that worked previously: The incoming server is a pop account, mail.cahnrs.wsu.edu with a user name and password. The outgoing server is outgoing.verizon.net using port 587 with user name and password.
The university email is generally [email protected] But it could also be [email protected]
Until about two days ago, these settings were working fine, so it seems like something changed somewhere.
Thanks very much for any help you can offer.
So when you're off-campus, are you still in Washington? If so, you're in an area that's been sold to Frontier, and it's entirely possible that your email access has been converted. You can contact Tech Support if you need help setting things up and/or verifying the status of your account. I was able to find this via Google, hopefully it will help you:
http://www.frontierhelp.com/faq.cfm?qstid=1
Basically it says your SMTP server should be smtp.frontier.com, but there's also a link-off that appears to provide walk-throughs for configuring your client.
Hope this helps!
