Mac mail wonky photo issue

I looked but couldn't find an answer to this on apple forums.
I'm using mac mail 3.6, on an iMac with OX 10.5.8. Here's the situation: When I send a certain friend an email, she gets it with a photo of me attached in the upper right corner. (She has a PC with outlook). I have a different photo that I use as a default and it shows up in both the system preferences and my listing in my address book. Why is she getting a photo of me that is only in an iPhoto album (as far as I know?) I checked with another friend who uses a Mac and he gets no pic from me on his mac mail. So why is a picture of me that is only in iPhoto showing up in the mail she gets from me? (she sent me a screen shot and there it was).
Thanks for any help or advice with this.

Thanks BDAqua. This answered the question of why it was showing up. Now, as to why she has it in her outlook contacts is another question best left to her.
Thanks.

SMTP POP Mac mail Yosemite Upgrade Issues

I have used mac mail for years with little or no problem, however, Yosemite is another story.
The SMTP outgoing mail will not work.
Often times when I am trying to figure out the problem by input changes into my mail preferences
the computer does not ask me to save. Thus it all goes back offline. The problem just all of a
sudden happened with no reason and for a week now, off and on I have been trying to fix this.
Apple charges money over the phone, have to drive 30 miles to a genius bar or fix it myself.
Should I try to go backwards to Maverick? My Yosemite upgrade originated from Snow Leopard.
I thought Apple was the computer elite. What was wrong with the old email? I'm so frustrated.

Open Mail app, go to the top panel and select WIndow > Connection Doctor.
What is the error message (or messages) that the Connection Doctor is reporting?

Lion Mac Mail Yahoo IMAP issues

Each time I lauch Mac Mail on my Mac (running OS X 10.7.4), it downloads my entire inbox (thousands of messages) from the Yahoo IMAP mail server. Also, when sending emails, Mac Mail does not always create a copy on the Yahoo mail server. Sometime the copy is there and sometime it isn't.
Anyone else having this issue?

This is definitely not Yahoo-specific, nor is it new. Definitely seems to be a bug in Mail.app. This has been happening at least since 10.5 (am now on 10.8.2), and I have a GoDaddy hosted IMAP account.
Same symptoms...I delete emails on my Mac in Mail.app. I've gotten into the habit of forcing a manual sync. The emails disappear from the Mac, but several minutes or sometimes many minutes later, if I look on my iPhone or iPad, the messages have not been deleted. If I subsequently go look on my Mac, or at the server through a webmail browser - they're back.
However, if I delete the emails from my iPhone or iPad - they really do get deleted.
As stated up above - quitting and reopening Mail.app can force a real sync that gets things going back in sync...it seems like maybe Mail.app somehow forgets to actually sync...so when this starts happening - i.e. I notice deleted emails still appear on my iPad - if I quit mail and reopen it, it also shows the previously deleted email. So the symptoms seem like there is a "cache" of actions (deletes) in Mail.app that is not getting processed to the server. When you quit, this list seems to get flushed and whatever is causing Mail.app not to sync to the server gets remedied and on restart, the not-deleted emails show up because Mail.app now syncs with the server. Occasionally it seems Mail.app somehow can come out of this without being restarted...I'm not sure if that happens when it's "kicked" by some other event, e.g. an incoming message, to sync.
Extremely annoying.

Help! Mac Mail and Hotmail issues

Hello. I'm looking for help with Mac Mail. I am a new Mac owner and haven't had any trouble before with hotmail on my ipod and iphone. Upon setting up the new mac and mail account (using a hotmail account) it started receiving messages, approximately 30. During that time, we turned off our Century Link wireless and set up a time capsule as wireless with the Century Link router/modem combo now acting only as a modem. After that, the email account stopped receiving messages. We tried removing the account and readding it and now no messages show up in the inbox at all. (not sure if changing the wireless actually affected any of this, but the timing was coincidental) When I look at "get account info", I can see that there are 543 messages listed under the Hotmail account under the heading "all messages on POP server." However, these messages do not actually show up in the Inbox. I've tried other help sites and as far as I can tell, the incoming and outgoing servers are set right. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mac Mail and Photo attachments

I recently changed my business E-mail client to Mac Mail 3.8 from Eudora. I was very surprised that Mac Mail could not attach a graphic file to an E-mail without actually embedding the file into the E-mail. Mac to Mac my clients could access the file as an attachment, but Mac to PC they could not. I was very surprised to find that the only solution Apple support showed was to compress the graphic file as a zip archive file. This solution is unacceptable as Google Mail disallowed zip files as attachments, and more than a handful of my clients use G-Mail. I found a third party plug-in solution offered by Loki software called Mail Attachments Iconizer http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer which actually works to change the way Mac Mail handles graphic file attachments, so that PC users can access the attached file. I was amazed that there was no mention of this solution on the apple support thread... Now there is!

Welcome to Apple Community forums.
Have you tried using "Send Windows friendly attachments" at the bottom of the attach dialog?

Mail and photo issues - two part question!

Hello,
The Mail function on both iPad and iPhone stopped working a couple of days into a trip we just took out of the country. I had to sign into my Gmail account to receive and send emails and photos. It literally quit on June 9.... I've checked all the settings and can't figure it out even when a message appears saying I am not connected and to check settings.....so frustrating.
In addition..we imported new photos from our camera to photo stream and when I looked for an older photo, I realized that all the old photos were gone! I have different photos on camera roll...those taken with iPhones (emailed or my own) or my iPad. Is there a limit on the number of photos Photo Stream will hold - and if so...where did the older photos go???
Thanks for any help you can offer on either or both points.

Do you have the source code to the original DOS program? If not, you have a REALLY big job ahead of you trying to figure out what all the bytes represent.

Mac Mail and Cox issues

Husband has an i7 Sony pc with Microsoft Live Mail - set up using Cox .pop settings.
Purchased a Mac Air for him and have been trying to set up Mail using smtp account settings through Cox. I have gone through this many, many times. I finally called Apple and got a guy who pretty much did the same thing. He sent in mail/I sent out mail and it appeared to work. Husband received a few e-mails - all ok. The NEXT am - we got up and all the e-mails were gone. Disappeared.
Please advise as to what could be the problem.

Mac Mail is continuously adjusting the "allow insecure authorization" option on it's own

I've already lost 3 clients due to a lack of timely email response, and I had no idea why Mac Mail was having issues connecting to my email server. I've spoken at length with my web hosting support, and it turns out the options in Mac Mail for "Automatically detect and maintain account settings" and "Allow insecure authentication" are new with Yosemite, in both the incoming and outgoing settings (see below).
Well it turns out the only way for me to be able to even use Mac Mail and have it connect to my email server, I have to have "Automatically..." unchecked, and "Allow insecure..." checked in each and every one of the accounts. I completely hate the idea of having to have anything "insecure" associated with my email, but it's the ONLY way I can get it to function properly, and I don't have the time to integrate everything to another email program at the moment. Not only is this a huge security risk in general, but the program will continuously uncheck the "Allow insecure authentication" option entirely ON IT'S OWN about every 20-30 minutes or so, completely jam up all communication I'm working on, require me to go back through and repeat the same tedious process for each and every one of the accounts, and then ALSO have to totally shut the program down and reopen it for the settings to take effect. In fact, the second of the two images seen above JUST unchecked the "Allow insecure authentication" box between the time it took me to start this post and take the screen shot!!
Something HAS TO BE FIXED with this or it could be a huge issue in a lot of ways. I'm planning on dropping the whole program altogether just as soon as I have the time to properly migrate all of my email setup to another program (which I'm looking forward to less than I would a root canal), but for now I'm just hoping and praying I make it that far without either a major security breach or losing any more clientele. As is, I've lost three clients in just the last week from not being able to correspond on tight deadlines.
Downgrade, in all meanings of the term...

Since you are doing a workaround, try deselecting use SSL.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

UAG problems with OSX - same problem with Mac Mail and Outlook 2011 (via EWS)

Hi folks,
I'm trying to fix the last snagging issue I have with OSX clients in a UAG / Exchange 2010 deployment:
When trying to connect Mac Mail or Outlook 2011 the connections are very slow to start up, both at initial config and thereafter.
On connection I see lots of the same error re Session Cookies in UAG and no connection in the mail client. If I leave it for a few minutes, sometime many minutes, the errors stop and I eventually get a working connection.
The error is:
"Sesson Attempted to Access Restricted Application"
User with source IP address x.x.x.x tried to access application Exchange EWS that was restricted that was restricted for the session. This might indicate an intrusion attempt by misusing the session cookie.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this ?
Many thanks
Steve

Ruud, no, we didn't find a solution, or rather our solution (so far) is to tell users not to use Mac Mail and to use Outlook 2011 instead, which seems to work fine (after some Office updates!)...and we haven't upset anyone with that requirement
(yet).
There are some very long discussions on Apple support forums about the whole Mavericks / Mac Mail / Exchange 2010 issues.
I do hope to have another go at this problem sometime soon, I'm sure there must be a solution (and my money says it relates our hardware load balancers).

Why am I no longer able to scroll mac mail

Running Mavericks on new computer with Apple wireless mouse and today am unable to scroll through my mailboxes or list of message. Is the a mac mail issue, or perhaps an issue with my wireless mouse?

Thanks for responding. Restarting Mac Mail solved the issue—at least for now. Scrolling worked in all other applications, including safari, numbers, and adobe products... even the launch pad.

I have a spam issue. I'm running Mac Mail 7.3 on Mavericks. Too many spam emails to control utilizing Preference option, plus time consuming. Would like to reject the email, not just place it in junk folder. How to do?

3 issues with Mac Mail on Leopard...

We just bought a NEW Imac at work, but my email doesn't work correctly. The first issue is that I get no New email sound at all. I need this at to work.
Second thing is when I attach a file and send it to a PC, it embeds its and instead of attaching it. I attach by dragging and dropping it into the email. I had no problem doing this on my old IMac and mail program. It does work correctly if I actually go and locate the file and attach it, but this takes a lot long to do than just dragging and dropping. I do have "Window Friendly Attachments" checked, but it just won't work the way it did before.
The third thing is that my IN box says I have 6 new emails, but nothing is there. I can't get rid of it. It is driving me crazy.
Please help!!!!!

Hello kgoody,
I have not been able to use my mac mail for 2 months now because of the server issue. "Try later" or "Try with selected server " were at the beginning of this nightmare. Since then I have not received a single email in the inbox. I downloaded an article "How to use Gmail with Apple's Mail" by Stephen Korecky and tried to fix the problem. It did not work because the Apple Mail windows did not show what they were supposed to. I called my software wizard and he said he will have to come and fix it. He did not show up yet. It is very frustrating.

Mac Mail/iPhone mail conflict or locking issue

Greetings!
I recently an iPhone. I previously was using a Pearl with RIM's BIS setup to access my email (verizon/yahoo POP3 acct). Since I moved to the iPhone, I've noticed whenever it accesses my email account, the Mac Mail displays the pop-up window requesting the password saying the email server had rejected it. About a minute or so after the iPhone is done with the email account, I'm able to enter the password and Mac Mail can access the account.
This is a POP3 email account. I never had this issue with Mac Mail while using the Pearl, it only started after switching to the iPhone.
Config Info:
iPhone 1.0.2
iMac/OS 10.4.10
Mac Mail 2.1.1
Verizon/Yahoo Acct POP3 (incoming.yahoo.verizon.net/outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net)
Has anyone else seen this problem and is there a solution for it? I've seen a couple close hits in this forum, but no direct hits.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Lee

I consider it a bug because after the auto-retrieval on the iPhone is complete, it still retains a lock on the mailbox causing mail.app to generate that error. Once the check is complete, that lock should be released. I'm speculating on this being the source of the problem, but I have verified the behavior (not necessarily the problem) by closely observing when the problem occurs.
I had a Blackberry Pearl for over a year and while I only had used it for a short time on my iMac before I replaced it with the iPhone, I never had this issue with the Pearl. There too I had mail.app on the iMac always running.
As for this thread - my bad. When I started it I wasn't sure where the problem was (mail.app or iPhone), but I should have just picked one of the other threads. Sorry about that!

Mac Mail 3 html formatting issues

I have some people I've been working with who recently upgraded to Mac Mail 3 and since a quarantine report they receive about email that was filtered no longer displays correctly. It displays correctly for anyone using anything other than Mac Mail 3 but for them, the first line of the report looks fine but everything after that looks way oversized. The report comes in an html format. Does anyone know of any issues with Mac Mail 3 displaying html formatted emails correctly and if there are any fixes for it?
Thanks

Hi 2point5,
THX for help, but that didn't help me. Maybe I didn't describe my Point exactly.
I receive a email, which have two alternative contents. One is HTML-content and the other is the TXT-content.
When I receive the email with 10.4.11, mail.app offer me the second alternative view (View->Message->Plain Text Alternative (AltAppleP) ) So I can see the TXT version of the mail.
In mail.app 3.5 (Leo) the point is grayed out, like as there is no txt version of the mail. (Same mail…)
