Mac Mail: Space limitations for work - Reminders / Notes

Hey there Mac Folks,
I'm using Mac Mail to access my work mail but we have significant space limitations on us. I've cleaned up a lot of my mailboxes into my work account but I see all of emails from my current mailboxes listed under Reminders ==> Notes.
Are they basically duplicates of the emails in the real mailboxes? If so, is there a way to remove them without removing the emails I have to keep in the "real" mailboxes?
Thanks much!
Regards,
Vicki Tan

Yes I sympathize...I had about 20 to do reminders that vapourized...can't find them by going back in time machine. HELP PLEASE!

Mac Mail frequently asks for gmail password, why?

Mac Mail frequently asks for Gmail password, so I have to change it sometimes every time when Mail cheks my email via Gmail Apps autorization.

Hi,
It does work.
What I did find out from another thread is that it has to be Set at Google to be a "Less Secure" App despite it using SSL.
As has been said two step verification can seem to get in the way.
On the Google page for this.
Allowing less secure apps to access your account
Google may block sign in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safer.
Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include:
The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with iOS 6 or below
The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird
You need to start here https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps?hl=en
(Messages is one that they deem a Less Secure app but what "security" they are using is not clear.)

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

Mac mail (Version 6.3 (1503)) will not let me "uncheck" the SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!
Thanks!

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OSX Maverick

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OS x Maverick. We get messages such as " Mail can't connect. Appears to be offline due to network problems." or "The connection to the server (null) in port ) timed out." I have confirmed server connections OK with Cox Communication and our Cox Webmail accounts.

Hi Bob13524,
Man, that definitely sounds frustrating! And it sounds like this issue is occurring with several accounts, so let’s see if we can troubleshoot this. The following resource provides some great information for troubleshooting Mail issues, including information on using the Connection Doctor:

After deleting several email from my phone, it will not update in Mac Mail and shows message: Messages could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash"

Using Outlook account associated with work. Deletes on iPhone, but not in Mac Mail. I do not have Outlook for Mac.

Does the Outlook account allow you to store deleted mails on server?
Look under trash and see if "Store deleted messages on the server" is checked

Mac Mail client doesn't work through DSL

We just started using a Verizon DSL connection for our small business. Most things work great -- surfing the web is fast and I can access secure site via browser. For some reason I cannot connect through DSL to get email when I'm using the Mac Mail version 4.4 client. The connection just hangs. I have one pop account and 3 google gmail accounts that I consolidate within the offline client. I luckily have an alternative wifi connection in this building that I can use to get mail, but I need to switch back to our own nework to use the printer and surf at a higher speed.
Our CTO was able to fix it for a day by setting an exception on port 995 -- which is what the mail client uses to retrieve mail.
I know it's realted to Verizon DSL because the same computer works at home via our Verizon Fios service. It's also not an issue with Wifi -- it still doesn't connect when I use a LAN connection directly to the modem.
Please let me know if there are any fixes or work-arounds.
Thanks.
Rusty

sample settings
Incoming
Your incoming mail server
no ssl
Your email address
your username
your password
outgoing
outgoing.verizon.net
no ssl
my server requires authentication = yes
your verizon username (should be the same thing that you use to sign in at http://webmail.verizon.com, test your password by logging in at that website, if it doesn't work, then reset your password and use the correct information)
your verizon password
should work on 25 since this part is verizon, but if it doesn't work for whatever reason try 587
sometimes third party mail servers don't play nice, and don't use 587 for their alternate port. like go daddy often uses port 80 for ougoing as an example, your mail server may like 995. I wouldn't worry about your outgoing settings, and instead use the sample configuration above and let us know if it works. PREFERABLY you should delete your account settings and start from scratch.

Smtp auth. fails for Mac mail but ok for netscpae mail ???

Hello all,
I am having some persistent problems with SMTP authentication to send mail from my Mac via my ISP onto the internet.
What DOES work:
1. sending and receiving mail from my current ISP account using Netscape mail.
2. receiving mail from my ISP account using Mac mail
What DOES NOT work:
3. sending mail via my ISP using Mac Mail. The error message is that the SMTP authentication failed.
Yes, I checked the mail port (25) and the smtp address (in plain text ascii)
Has anyone had a similar problem, where Mac mail failes, but another mail tool succeeds? Has anyone succeeded at getting it to work for Mac mail?
Thanks,
Ary
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If your ISP requires POP before SMTP authentication which requires checking the account's incoming mail server for new mail before being able to send with the account's SMTP server (checking the account for new mail should be required once per session only), then authentication for the SMTP server should be set to None.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the account information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Setting button below.
If Password is selected for SMTP authentication, change it to None and test if this resolves the problem.
If None is selected and your ISP requires password authentication for their SMTP server, select Password and enter the account's user name and password required for the authentication.

Mac Mail Unexpectedly Quits for no reason

Hi - yesterday my mac mail started to play up and I am not sure why? I have not done anythin differently - but totally randomly, not when I am doing anything or if I am just browsing folders in Mac Mail the application quits. It has just done it again this morning which is the 4th time since yesterday afternoon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a search on the forums for this and found people had this problem when starting up - I have no problem starting up. Another thing I have noticed recently is that when I do switch between folders it takes a while to load the preview (longer than it used to) so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Also - because of this any advice on how to back up my messages in mac mail quickly and easily would be great!
Mac Mail Version 2.1 - MacBook Pro

Hi Tarquin.
Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
When an application crashes (i.e. quits unexpectedly), the system writes information about the state of the application at the moment of the crash into a log file. That information is called a crash report and it makes troubleshooting much easier. In order to find and paste the relevant part of the crash report here, proceed as follows:
1. Open ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Mail.crash.log. The whole Mail crash log appears on a Console window (you can also open that file with any text editor). It may contain many crash reports. We only want the latest, which is located at the bottom of the file.
2. Look for a line that begins with "Date/Time:" as close to the bottom as possible, and another that says "Thread N Crashed:", where N is a number. Select everything from the "Date/Time:" line to the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:". Copy that text and paste it here. Do not post the whole crash log, and do not include anything beyond the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:" either, just the relevant part.
Take a look at the following thread for examples of what a crash report looks like:

any advice on how to back up my messages
Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored within the ~/Library/Mail/ folder.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

Mac mail inbox icon for new messages is missing

I just upgraded to a new macbook air and ever since then the Mac Mail is not showing me how many new messages I have in my inbox. It used to be that when I go into mac mail, there would be a gray circle to the right of each of my inbox titles with a number of how many new messages I have in my inbox. But now there are no gray circles, even when I do have new messages in my inboxes. Now in order to see how many new messages I have in each inbox I have to go in and click on each one (I know, my life is so hard). But I would love to get those gray circles back. I liked it. Interestingly, in my saved mailboxes of old messages, whenever I have an unread message stored in any of these, there is a corresponding gray circle with numbers. Why for the saved mailboxes but not for my inboxes? Anyone know how to help me?

William - indeed and thanks.
I come from a Windows history that goes back to the late 1980's and used to be quite familiar with rebooting my laptop 7-30 times a week. When I moved to the Apple ecosystem, I forgot completely about having to reboot periodically - something I have discovered is necessary with Mac's, too. It is especially necessary with applications that get a lot of use - I cycle through a couple thousand e-mail messages every week.
I restarted Mail because it started acting up in other ways, too. Voila! Problem solved.

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.

Setting up Mac Mail on Outlook for Windows 7

I'm trying to setup Outlook on my work machine so I can receive email from my Mac Mail account. I've just attempted the steps presented here in Outlook using their add account wizard and am running into a problem. After completing all steps and testing them I'm getting a window that pops up asking me for my user ID and Password repeatedly. I've tried inputting them and clicking ok but the window just pops up again with no error message.
I would love to download the iCloud client for windows but unfortunately my organizations regulations prohibit me from doing so. I'm also unable to access the iCloud website due to the same regulations.
Any help or advice anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Mac mail 5.1 "save as" option not available

Mac mail working fine until I upgraded to Lion. Now, the "save as" option is suddenly grayed out and not available. I need to be able to save drafts of emails. Others are experiencing the same issue. Please, Apple, what's up?

Mac -- When in Mail, bring down the FILE menu to PRINT. You should get this a pane that looks like this one below. Make sure you have the SCALE box set to 100%.
