.Mac To Do's bug in Mail?

I think this is a bug, but wanted other to try and see if it acts the same way.
If you have a .Mac email and use Mail. Inside mail prefs, choose Composition. and on the ""Create Notes and To Do's in..." choose "On My Mac"
Now select some text from a email in your inbox and click the To Do. It will create it under the To Do list as .Mac and not "On My Mac"
The Notes works correctly though....
I have reported this as a bug to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html

I appreciate your perseverance , but that way doesn't work for me. iCal and Mail are giving me two sets of calendars - there is a set associated with my email account, and a separate set associated with the "on my mac" account. I cannot assign calendars associated with the emails to my on-my-mac to-dos, and vice versa, even using the pull-down menu you describe.
I did, however, find a solution to my problem. Once a ToDo is created from an email message, the ToDo can be moved from the email account to the on-my-mac account. Once it has been moved, THEN I can assign the calendar I want.
Although I have a workaround, I wonder whether I am alone in experiencing this problem.

  • Bug in Mail 2.1.1

    there is a bug in mail, watched the screenshot:
    http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot159hu0.jpg

    Do you have a .Mac account? Do you have .Mac synchronization of Mail data enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac? That would interfere with any attempt to get rid of potentially corrupt *.plist files...
    BTW, you can make your life easier in these forums by going to System Preferences > International and moving English to the top of the list. The next time you launch Mail, it'll be all in English. You can then go back to the preferences panel and move your preferred language to the top again so that everything else is in that language.

  • A small but very irritating bug in Mail: after pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word such as "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.

    When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
    Any ideas?

    I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
    Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
    From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
    The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
    The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
    Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
    Other combinations FAIL
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
    Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
    Thanks.

  • Bug in Mail: Plain-Text | Rich-Text-Mails

    Hi,
    just found a bug in Mail (Mac OS X 10.6.2):
    I am using a faxservice-provider, which sends my PDF-files to the transmitted fax-number.
    This stopped working a few weeks ago, the recipients of my faxe just get blank pages.
    I talked to the provider and they told me, that I was sending "Multi-Part-HTML"-mails, so their fax-software just sends the first part of the mail (some blank lines) and not the attached PDF-file.
    So I checked a few thing and found the following bug:
    Mail is set up to send mails only as "plain-text"-mails.
    But if i send an email via the print-dialog ("send PDF per Mail") Mail creates a Rich-Text-mail. This also happens when using the "send PDF via Mail button" in Adobe Reader.
    The created Mail is NOT a plain-text-mail!
    Saving a PDF-file to the desktop and dragging the file to the Mail-Icon in the dock creates a "Plain-Text-File".
    So you need to check the format of the Mail in the "Format-Menu". If you change the format at this place to "Plain-Text" everything is working fine.
    Something in this Automator-workflow-script is working wrong. This workflow just has the order to create a new Mail with the PDF as attachment, so I can't change anything their. But the error must be founded in this script/workflow.

    And it's only a Gmail issue, not in, for example, Google Docs.

  • Why will IMAP email not send from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail even though it is configured the same as on my old Macbook (and emails are sending just fine on the old computer)?

    I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
    When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
    "The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    It shows the server as (offline)
    I've tried erasing and typing in the password.  I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
    I also have a Gmail account and it is working...

    email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
    Window > Connection Doctor ...
    ... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.
    This web page will make an educated guess about how to set up your Servers, and NO SPAM will follow:

    You don't need iDVD unless you are going to make DVDs. If you are just trying to share files, iDVD won't help you at all.
    What you want to do is in iMovie, choose File/Share/File, and export that way. It creates an .mp4 file that should be readable on Macs or Windows.
    You could also File/Share/YouTube if you don't mind posting them to YouTube, because of course YouTube videos are watchable by any Mac or Windows computer made in the last 10 years.

    I assume you created a .mac account in Mail. You might want to try deleting the account and recreating it. Assuming you Internet connection is good, it sounds like Mail doesn't understand where to get mail.

  • Bug report: Mail sends messages with empty bodies

    Over the last year, I have experienced a particularly irritating bug in Mail.app at least a dozen times. I finally have a good idea as to what causes it.
    The problem involves long email messages (often with attachments) that end up being sent with blank bodies (and no attachments). Even the copy in the "Sent" folder ends up blank, and several minutes or hours of work vanishes into thin air, not to be seen ever again.
    I finally realized that this bug only occurs when sending mail through our work SMTP server while outside the work firewall, and only as a result of a certain sequence of events. Here is what happens:
    When we connect to our work SMTP server from outside the local network and without going through the VPN, the SMTP server requires password authentication. If the current SMTP selection in Mail.app is the one that does not require authentication, the SMTP server rejects the message. At that point, Mail.app opens the email I am trying to send and brings up a modal dialog that says "Cannot send message using the server xxx.xxx -- The server response was: xxx@xxx relaying prohibited. You should authenticate first." The dialog also presents a drop-down list of SMTP server choices. I choose the password-authenticated version of the server and then click on "Use Selected Server" to send the message.
    This works almost all the time, but on occasion it ends up sending a blank message! If I have a long email, particularly with attachments such as PDFs that are rendered in the body of the message, it takes a few seconds for the mail message to be rendered underneath the modal dialog box. Since I am used to this STMP rejection behavior, sometimes I am too fast to choose another STMP server from the list and click on "Use Selected Server" before the mail message is rendered on screen! The result, invariably, is a blank email message that gets sent.
    I guess what is happening is that when the STMP server rejects the message and hands it back to Mail.app, the message gets copied into a buffer in order to be displayed on screen. Selecting another server and resending it immediately (before the message is copied into the buffer completely) causes the message body to get trashed.
    I hope that this description is adequate for Apple QA folks to replicate and isolate the problem (and hopefully fix it). One solution (although not the most elegant one) would be to disable the "Use Selected Server" action until the message is copied into the buffer and rendered on screen.

    This could be related to another bug reported here recently:
    E-mail looses all images if mail server doesn't accept outgoing email...
    You cannot count on Apple looking into this or even noticing it if you report it here, so I suggest you the same I suggested in the other thread, i.e. report it in one of the following places:

  • Really stupid bugs in Mail 4.2 (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)

    Hi everyone,
    I decided to write about all bugs that I discovered in Mail 4.2 (Snow Leopard 10.6.2) since there is no known solution and since Apple's MobileMe Chat Support does not have any clue how to resolve this issues. First – I have three configured e-mail accounts: MobileMe, Gmail (IMAP) and third-party IMAP account.
    The issues are:
    1. IDLE command turned on causes new mail sound stop working. If I unchecked this option in all accounts (also MobileMe) the sound is back. If any of the accounts has this option checked, sound stops working again. So I found a workaround (not a solution) – I set checking for new mail to 'every 1 minute' and hoped everything would work.
    2. But it's not working as one could imagine... At first it is, but then, after some time for no known (at least to me) reason Mail doesn't receive any new mail from third-party IMAP account and Gmail. MobileMe is still working. I tried every solution that in my opinion could have helped: erasing account and setting it up again, rebuilding mailboxes, deleting envelope index file, repairing permissions etc. Nothing helped. I even installed once again Mac OS X 10.6.2 Combo Update to be perfectly sure I did everything.
    3. Next bug I discovered is with sending e-mails. Since I sometimes want to have access to my draft messages from internet I checked 'Store draft messages on the server' checkbox. Now... when composing a message in Mail app it's momentarily saved on the server, whether it has attachments or not. Then when the message is complete I push the Send button and the message is being sent. The reasonable mail app would then delete the draft version of this message from the Drafts folder. But not Mail 4.2, regardless in which e-mail account the message is stored. It doesn't delete the draft, what's more then synchronizes it with my other computer and then I have to log to webmail to delete the unwanted draft messages manually. VERY annoying.
    Please let me know if you have similar problems or maybe anyone has a solution?
    Pawel

    It is my thought and contention that #1 is not a bug, but purposeful -- see:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11160423#11160423
    With regard to #2, have you ever removed the Envelope Index without first removing any IMAP or Exchange account folders? If so, that can problematic. I cannot confirm any of the experiences you are having. I have 15 accounts, 7 of which are IMAP, and the latter include one Gmail and one MobileMe, and none of these issues are present. Have you tried creating a New User Account and setting your IMAP and Gmail up as that New User to further test the application itself?
    The issue with Drafts being saved beyond their apparent usefulness is not new to Mail 4.2 -- happened with some frequency in all versions of Mail 3.x, and probably less frequently in 4.2. When it has happened, which is relatively infrequently for me, it has been seen in POP and IMAP alike.

  • Mac OS X Lion bugs

    When is Apple going to realase an update to fix the uncountable bugs in Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1? So far I have found the following:
    1. In Preview, when visualizing a PDF document in "Table of contents" mode, Preview changes the view mode to "Zoom to Fit" and then one no longer can zoom in. Pressing Command+= will not zoom in. Going to "View > Zoom In" has no effect. The "Zoom out" works fine.
    2. When viewing more than one pdf document in Preview with "Table of contents" mode, it is impossible to select one of the documents to be sent to print. Having multiple documents open and then using the menu File>Print will only print all documents together. If you have one particular document being displayed in Preview, with multiple documents open, selecting menu File>Print or pressing Command+P will always show you a window with all the documents to be printed.
    3. Safari disables an extension when there is an update.
    4. When an email server goes offline, Mail asks for a password.
    5. When an email server goes offline, Mail keeps asking for a password indefintely until the user press "Cancel". After that, Mail stops from checking emails on that account forever. Pressing the toolbar button "Check email [in all accounts]" does nothing, even though the user may believe that Mail has checked the account and found no new emails. One is then forced to display the "Mailboxes" side bar, which now will show the account that went offline with a "disconnected" icon, select the account with the issue then open the pop up menu and select "Get new mail from [account]". This is the only way Mail will continue to check for email acounts after issue 4.
    These were all in Mac OS X Lion 10.7.0 as well.

  • Bug in Mail when using Google Apps Gmail and sync

    I found a bug in the sync process between the Mac and the phone. If you have Mail (on the computer) set to use Google Apps for Your Domain, the sync on the phone changes the user for the mail account. I assume this is because it sees "smtp.gmail.com" or something and decides to "protect" you from having an incorrect user account.
    So for example, if you're using Google Apps and your e-mail is [email protected], Mail (on the computer) will also have smtp.gmail.com and pop.gmail.com as the servers. When sync'd to the phone, iTunes or the phone decide to change the user account for both servers to [email protected]@gmail.com, which is of course not what we want.
    I'm kind of annoyed that they're trying to protect us like this.

    Yeah unfortunately if you tried to send an e-mail
    before discovering that bug, you will have an error
    message show every time you access Mail saying "the
    sender address [email protected]@gmail.com was
    rejected by the server."
    I can't get it to go away even by deleting the
    account on iPhone and not setting it to sync.
    Anybody know of a fix?

    Yes. Create the GMail account on your iPhone using the Other shortcut instead of the GMail shortcut. That will let you specify whatever address you want.
