Mac mail - mail showing up hours or days later

I've been having a few problems with my Mac Mail lately
using OS X 10.9.2
Mail v 7.2
1 - each morning I will read my new messages. then an at various times of the day, new mail will come in but it will be dates hours or days ago.
2 - I'm having search issues. I can't find emails in the sent folder that I sent an hour ago, or when I search for it, it wont show up in the search.
3 - read emails seem to be going into my archive box
4 - when I search for sent emails, it seems to find 10-20 of the same email (it looks as if it is saving it every few seconds since each email looks to be a progression of the full message i.e. first email jsut has the to: and subject linel next email has that plus 1-2 lines of text; next email has 3-4 lines of text, so an and so on thus the 15th email may be the entire email sent.

You're welcome.
So what is itunes doing when it syncs my mail? Just the settings? Is it even worth keeping the sync box checked in itunes then?
Account settings only, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. After account settings are successfully transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, there is no reason to keep this option selected for your iPhone sync preferences - unless you make a change to account settings on your computer that you want automatically transferred to your iPhone.
I suggest checking your account settings on your iPhone and use Never for removing messages from the server when downloaded for the account settings for each account. You can removed messages from the server in other ways. If you use the Mail.app on your Mac for accessing the accounts, you can removed messages from the server as needed with the Mail.app, or via webmail access for each account.

When I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?

when I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?
mac mail also freezes from time to time and closes for no reason

It is not a virus. It's a bug in Mail that fails to reset that count, so it keeps incrementing each time you send a message. When it says it's sending 6 messages, that really just means you're sending the 6th message since you last opened Mail.

My Mac Mail shows 112 unread emails. I cannot find where these unread emails are?

My Mac Mail shows 112 unread emails. I cannot find these unread emails anywhere. I have deleted the account and then readded and they still show up. Do you have an idea how i can fix this?

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

Why are my bookmarks disappearing then reappearing hours to days later?

I have an iPhone 4S. After updating to iOS 6.0.1, my Safari bookmarks disappeared. They reappeared, but they continue to disappear. They'll comeback at random times - sometime hours, sometimes days later. Anyone experience this and/or know the solution? Thanks!

Interesting never noticed that before.
The pins on the images in the film strip are toggled on and off by the menu item Show Place badges, under the gear,
Why that is toggled on when you select an image, view it and drop back to film strip mode is unknown. Doesn't seem to be a use for it. If the badges are a problem you can toggle them off by going to this menu. If you need them on before going to view mode you can toggle them on here.
You could report this to Apple Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback as a bug.

Mac Mail showing 2 signatures

Hi there. I am running Mac Mail with 3 e-mail addresses and 3 signatures. 1 is a 123-reg address, one Yahoo and one is G-Mail.
My default mail account is a 123-reg address, but when I select to send from a DIFFERENT email address (either G-Mail or Yahoo), it is showing my 123-reg related signature ABOVE the desired custom signature for the selected e-mail address.
I have checked the signature settings and everything looks correct. Everything worked fine on my 13" MacBook Pro (Lion) but since upgrading last week to a 15" retina with Mountain Lion, I am getting this issue. Any ideas on how to solve would be greatly appreciated, as I have tried checking the forum and Google yet cannot find anyone else with the same issue...
Apologies if I have listed this question in the wrong community - first post.

Hi mugearsuk
Did you resolve this issue?
My signatures were working perfectly until a microsoft exchange account was added to my email addresses and now if I change the email address I want to send from the new signature comes in under the previous one.
Frustrated!!!
I hope you solved this and can offer any insight.

Mac mail shows the wrong name in the inbox

Mac mail is showing the wrong name for one sender in the inbox. It is correct in the preview pane and when opened.
Is also correct on ipad and iphone. Only wrong in mac mail. This occurred when the person changed their name.
Have already deleted that user from the previous emailed contacts. Have started in Safe mode to clear caches.
System is a macbook air with Mavericks 10.9.4
Thanks in advanced for any help with this.

What next?
I'd check with the senders whom you receive mail from to be sure they have your name correctly entered in the address book for whatever mail client they're using; I'm guessing the problem is on their end, since we've eliminated the possibilites on your end: Address Book and the Previous Recipients list. Those are the only two places Mail could draw that information from, unless it's in the original message sent to you, which you can confirm by opening a message, then choosing View > Raw Source. Look for the To: field and if the name doesn't match yours, then you know the problem is on the sender's end, in which case you should tell them to correct your name in their email address book.
Can I clear out the email account completely and start again.
You could, but that won't solve the problem. That name is coming from somewhere external to Mail (since Mail doesn't keep any such information), so it's just a matter of finding the source correcting it.

PDF Attachments Removed from Mac Mail, show up in .Mac webmail

I have two clients that receive autogenerated PDFs from our ColdFusion server to their .Mac mail account. They had no problems receiving these attachment PDFs with Tiger, this problem is new with the Leopard 10.5+ operating system.
These e-mails have a little bit of text, a logo inline and a PDF attachment. In .Mac Webmail I see the image, the PDF attachment and all is well and good, strangely enough.
In the Mac Mail (v3.1) I see the text, the image and NO PDF attachment (it only says there is ONE attachment (the inline JPG), when in fact there are TWO. It seems that the PDF is being completely stripped from the message when received from .Mac's server. If I send the user a PDF from my MS Outlook, or any other e-mail client, it's received fine.
Anyone have a similar issue, and have you found a fix? Or any ideas where I can troubleshoot from here?
I'm stumped.

The thread here discusses the same issue, and the Command Y hack worked for me. There's got to be a better way.

Why won't attachments sent from Mac Mail show up for an Outlook Express recipient?

I use Mac Mail on a MacBook Pro. When I attach image files to an email message, a recipient using Windows Outlook Express can't receive the attachments as attachments; they're just embedded in the message. What can I do to ensure that attachments go through as attachments?
Thanks in advance.

There's been a lot of discussion on this. Some indicate that setting your email format to plain text will result in the photos being just attachments. When I've tested it by sending to myself that's not been the case.
There's a 3rd party plugin for Mail that is supposed to do what you want. I've not tested it so can't comment one way or another:
One way to assure the image files travel as attachments is to put them in a folder first and add the folder to the email body. That zips/compresses the folder and sends it that way.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the display in week view to show 24 hours per day for those of us that work irregular hours

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the display in week view to show all 24 hours per day for those of us that work irregular hours.
Also is it possible to have all of the 'all day' entries showing, not just 3.5 of them.
The app Week Cal HD was the perfect calendar until Apple removed it so could they please offer the same facilities that it offered.

Lync User Phone Number Changed in AD - Still Showing Old (Normalized) Number Days Later in Lync Client Contact Detail

Environment: Lync 2013 backend; Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 clients. Enterprise Voice not implemented. November 2013 CU Applied on Server.
Issue: Lync user (User A) phone number changed in AD but still showing old number for others days later.
Believed Cause: User A has not logged into Lync since change to republish new phone number?
So after reading this http://masteringlync.com/ I am beginning to think that something I perceived as an issue may actually be by design?
Action:
User A work phone number changed in AD. User A has only one phone entry in AD. Normalization rule in place to basically leave number unchanged (working)
Result:
New phone number propogated fine to Exchange/Outlook fine. Old number displaying only in Lync client when viewing User A contact card detail
Lync 2010 Client displays only old number when looking at Client A contact detail (this client only presents phone numbers if they are actually normalized)
Lync 2013 Client displays two work numbers.
One that we identify as a "display number" just as entered in AD - this shows correctly as the new number. Another that we identify as the "normalized number" which is still the old
number (same as 2010 Client)
Same results whether contact is saved in Lync Client or not and is not related to Outlook contacts - in fact one test was with a Lync account that is not Mail Enabled.
I did a dbanalyze to view the SQL database detail for User A and see that Category 'userInformation' has the old phone number and the time stamp on it seems to coincide with a Lync Cllient database change (user login or refresh on that end) so this seems
to futher confirm my findings thus my reaching the point of conceding it might be out of my control.
My Question I guess is ....
Have others discovered this? Is this a bug or do normalized phone numbers actually requre a client login to accept/republish the number correctly to others even though the information is updated in AD? User detail and how it propogates seems to
be the biggest mystery and it gets harder and harder to explain to users why changes aren't displaying accuralely.

Thanks Richard... your blog definitely hit home with what I was seeing but guess I just didn't want to accept that as the end of the road on this. I'm still in a little misbelief that client interaction is necessary to update a backend change.
This process really makes phone numbers in Lync an unreliable source given a user will never know if it is it up to date. And the problem with Lync 2013 client is it shows both numbers in the client ... the address book one with the
updated AD numbers and the one the normalized AD one that the user has to login to republish. I now more fully understand the process but trying to explain that to users when they see different work numbers .. ugh.
Oh well, guess the important part is to understand the process so thanks again.

Using on a Mac cannot send by default from IPhoto? Only Outlook, IPhoto and Mac Mail shows as options.

We have both Outlook and Thunderbird installed on our IMac. When using IPhoto and we want to send a picture we are given the choices for Outlook, MacMail and IPhoto but not Thunderbird which is our default mail setting and works with everything else. Any clue how to integrate this so it works properly? Thank you!

You could drag the picture out of iPhoto and drop it on the desktop or into the download directory, then attach it from there.

Macbook shuts down, charger does not charge then charges hours or days late

My daughter's macbook symptoms:
- shuts down all of a sudden
- when restarted, displays error message: date reset 2008 etc.
- When restarted, charger may or may not charge (Magsafe LED off). It may take days before it works again
Macbook under 3 year guarantee (contract says you get a new computer if it breaks down):
In French: www.fnac.com/guides/services/garantie-echange-neuf/default.asp?NID=0
In English via Google: http://tinyurl.com/6ayl5re
Was sent to repair (MSS repair centre, FNAC, France) . They said they did "un reset du système" = a
system reset .
Worked well at my home for 3 days.
Back to my daughter's: same thing happens.
Charger does not charge Magsafe LED off.
Taken to my home: charger charges magsafe red. But my daughter had moved the charger's parts tried other power sockets to no avail before Macbook repair.
Note that this macbook has a mildly loose magsafe port. Yet, moving the magsafe won't change anything while Mac is on. Loose Magsafe port has been reported to me as not an issue (some geek on a forum, and a genius at an applestore)
I suspect something wrong with motherboard. Loose magsafe port should not shut dow the machine should it ?
Back to repair centre: they say it's a "software problem" this is not covered by their 3 years guarantee. Which is plain false (look up - in French only - http://tinyurl.com/6avkvhy ) .
As I don't see which software problem that could be, I took it to the genius bar at Applestore's: Genius says bah ! not a software problem.
Says it's a motherboard failure. So he gives me a written estimate for motherboard repair. Indeed that may to help me battle with my 3-year guarantee and "FNAC" repair centre since they are not so smart.
Happy with this and having checked that the guarantee contract covers even for the alleged "sofware" problem, having an Applestore paper telling me the rub lies in the motherboard, here I am, sending FNAC a formal notice by registered mail (with a copy to my lawyer. An excellent one with the appropriate specialisation , and my other daughter, hence cheap).
But .... in the meantime, I'm using that faulty computer, and here I get another shutdown.
I was moving the computer softly to place it on a table, this pulled a little bit the charger's cable: screen goes black. Magsafe LED off.
I have to restart it, and I get the usual error message telling me the date is set earlier than 2008.
Same crash as usual. Note that my daughter says the shutdown never happened without the charger on, and shutdown did happen without movement nor strain on the cable.
But as I have my own Macbook, same as my daughter's, I perform an experiment.
- I plug my daughter's charger cable on MY Macbook: LED stays off !
- I plug MY Macbook 's charger cable on my daughter's Macbook: LED is on !
My impression is that there is a problem with my daughter's charger, isn't there ?
But how can a problem with the charger, its cable of the magsafe cause the Macbook 's clock to bet set back a few years ?
I have to point out that the battery is not dead, and behaves normally, so the charger suddenly stopping should not shut the computer down. I can use the computer on battery for hours and battery capacity is 86 % of theoretical.
Could a motherboard problem or some other Macbook problem cause charger dysfunction ?
This is important since while I may resort to buying a new charger if FNAC does not abide by their contract duties, if there is another problem than that of the charger, we'll be in trouble again sooner or later.
We know MSS FNAC have not been good at all (not my first untoward experience with them) and Applestore may be wrong or partially right.
Thanks for your ideas about this trouble.

I am having the exact same problem, although it only takes a few minutes for my computer to start charging again. What was the solution you found? My computer just returned from Apple today with a replaced thermal assembly, and I just had the problem repeat itself, not two hours after I picked it up from the postal service.

I am using a mac mini (10.8.3) with Mac Mail 6.3 (1503). Whenever I try to forward an email with attachments, the attachments do not make it. They show being sent, but the attachments never are sent.

Hey Guys,
The title says it all. Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments. Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace. We are setup with IMAP. It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail. We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround. The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.

Back up all data.
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
