Mail 4.1,not playing "new message" sound, and some sent mail not in outBox

For some reason, no "new message" sound is being played (has been like this for a few weeks), and some (~1/10) sent mail does not show up in the sent box (been like this for a long time).
And yes, preferences are set to "play new messages sound"
Any ideas?

I would guess that's an IMAP account, go into mail preferences and select advanced tab for that account and uncheck use IDLE command and the new mail sound should work.
Not sure about the sent mail problem.

    iPad not backed up message appears and touch screen does not respond

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot

  • Safari not playing FB message sound files.

    In Safari 6.0.5 on Mountain lion, when in facebook, in messages, if someone sends me a sound file when I click it it just flashes but will not play. Other content such as posted video or youtube links in feed will play. If I go to Firefox browser, works fine.

    Back to Safari > Preferences this time select the Extensions tab.
    If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension back on at a time, quit and relaunch Safari and test until you find the extension that's causing the conflict and uninstal.

  • Iphone 4S writing emails : Have to hold 'write' icon and then 'draft' page opens. Will not open 'New message' page and therefore cannot write emails from my 'phone. Anybody any ideas???

    Hello there
    Have been given a 4s.
    All set up and working - except.......
    when I try to write an email [via wifi], tapping the 'write' icon does not work and I have to hold it. Then the 'DRAFT' page appears, not 'NEW MESSAGE'.
    So cannot write emails from my 'phone.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Iphone will not show new message alert for email sent to subfolders

    I have successfully synced my iphone with the exchange server so I am getting push email from entourage to my phone. However I have subfolders set up in entourage so that my email is organised. These subfolders are showing on my iphone. Although email sent to subfolders is pushed to the iphone (to the relevant subfolders), when the phone is on the home screen it does not show a new mail alert for those emails. It only shows a new mail alert for emails going to the main inbox. Obviously I need it to alert me if email is coming in to subfolders. Can anyone help with setting this up?

  • TS3623 Why does a rented movie not play, error message says, your apple tv is not authorized to play this content?

    Why do I get an error message after renting a movie on apple tv, " this tv is not able to play this move"

    I may have answered my own question.  After some more research, it seems that the videos that won't play have a FairPlay value associated with them and they were all purchased prior to June 2009.  Now I just need to figure out how to get around this.

  • New hard drive and some songs will not transfer from my list in iTunes

    I recently had a new hard drive installed on my computer. After that I purchased a few new songs and plugged in iPod to sync. Then I received message that 27 songs I had previously purchased and had been on my iPod were "items in iTunes not copied to iPod because not authorized to play on this computer." These songs are no longer visible on iPod but 10 or 15 songs are still there that had been there before. How can I get the missing songs onto my iPod again?

    Go to the "Store" menu in your iTunes main window, and drag down to "authorize computer". This lets iTunes know that you're new computer is okay to have access to all previously purchased music.
    Hope this helps...

  • "New Message" Sound Not Playing In Mail 5

    Since I have upgraded to OS X Lion and Mail 5, I have noticed that the "new message" sound is not playing when I receive a new email.  I have checked the settings, and the option for this is enabled.  I am using Gmail and have the "idle command" option enabled, and I suspect that this may be involved in the issue.
    I have read that in the past Mail had an issue where it would only play the "new message" sound if it had received the new message by polling the server.  If the new message was received through the "idle" command, then the "new message" sound would not be played.  Perhaps this is the same bug.
    Is anyone else having this issue?  I know I could just turn off the "idle" command, but I'm looking for an actual fix to the underlying issue.  I've reported it to Apple, but I would like to see if anyone else has noticed this.

    I was about to try your suggestion, but after sending a few more test emails, I discovered that it does in fact play the sound sometimes.  I sent about 20 test emails, and they were all received using the "idle" command, with about 75% of them playing the sound.  There was a 5-10 second delay between the messages being received and the sound playing that I don't remember from Snow Leopard, but I'm not positive about that.
    It shouldn't be the actual sound that is the issue, being that it is played sometimes, but I still don't know why it's not playing every time.  I tried receiving messages with the app running in the background, with it minimized, and with it as the active window, but I couldn't find any specific instance that caused it to not play the sound.
    I wasn't having this issue in Mail 4.  It didn't start until I installed Lion, which I did a clean install of, if it matters.
    I'm still open to thoughts on this, and thank you for your help.

  • Apple Mail, New Message Sound upon wake

    Whenever I get back to my iMac after a day of it sitting in sleep mode and I attempt to wake the Mac it makes the New Message Sound a couple of times.
    I assume this is one noise for every email I recieved during the day but already checked on my iPhone. Its a minor hinderence. I was just wondering if anyone had a fix.

    Had the same problem with sound for outgoing and incomming mail not working after computer went to sleep.
    Found an easy fix'
    go to System Preferances-Energy Saver and uncheck the box for "Put hard disks to sleep when possible"
    Found that system would not restart the sound after sleep but required a restart for it to work again, by unchecking this box system would not go into "hard sleep". worked like a charm for me.

  • What do I do to resolve an ongoing problem with the MAIL "new messages sound".?  If I reboot the iMAC and keep the mail app open after a number of messages come in the NEW MESSAGE Sound quits. I have to reboot the machine to get it back.

    New Messages sound quits after several messages have arrived. I've tried several passes at resolving but nothing I have done seems to work. Sometimes I have to reboot the imac several times to get the New Messages Sounds back. Everything else works. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the OS and that seems foolhardy.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.
    Matt

  • Mail dock icon does not create new message when a file is dragged onto it

    After installing Snow Leopard, dragging a file to the the Mail icon in the dock no longer creates a new message with the file attached. Mail is brought forward as the active application, just no new message window.
    This was the behavior in earlier versions of mail.
    Is there a preference, or any other change, that can be changed to allow drag-and-drop of a file to create a new message with an attachment?
    --James

    There are some issues with drag and drop. I was having the same issue with Mail with SL, but I didn't check after 10.6.1. However, I just installed a new hard drive, and migrated. Mail works for me, now.
    It didn't work with my 10.6 which had been upgraded with multiple builds in the beta. I assumed it was related to the other drag and drop issues. Now that I check it again, I don't think so.

  • Is it possible to disable New Message sound for SPAM messages?

    I inherited a role email account which receives an incredible amount of spam. Mail's SPAM filters do a good job or routing these messages to the SPAM box and keeping them out of my inbox, but I still receive a "New Message" sound notification every time a new SPAM message arrives. Is it possible to disable the "New Message" sound alert for SPAM messages while still receiving the alert for new messages that arrive in my inbox?
    Thanks,
    jason

    Try this:
    Go into Preferences -> General and uncheck the box that says "Play sounds for other mail actions".
    I'm not sure if it will work since that's really still "new" mail, but it might be worth trying.

  • No New Messages Sound

    I have a 13" MacBook Pro 2.3Ghz that is running 10.8.2. I cannot get New Mail Message Sound, ( the audio alert ), to work.
    All other audio works just fine.
    Any ideas?

    Same here.
    Very weird. I have Mail.app set to play "new mail sound" as well as other mail-even sounds.
    I have some rules that route some mail to another folder (mail box). When mail comes for those, I get the sound. But for mail that stays in the inbox, no sound. The in-box is an IMAP box while the others are "local." I used to get the sound on Tiger on my old Mini.
    When mail comes into in-box it is "bold" (not-read) which is correct.
    I have "dock count" set for in-box only. Works fine.
    I get the "woosh" when sending mail.
    I've tried setting mail preferences for "play sounds" to other sounds. Same thing.
    I've tried it with the mail.app showing and with it hidden. Same thing.
    I've tried closing and opening mail. I've tried re-booting. Still no sound for "in-box" mail that is not "routed" to another mail box.
    This is a brand new iMac with SL. Anyone have any ideas of what is going on. Maybe there is a setting I missed somewhere?
    Thanks,
    Al
