Mail 5.0 (Lion) Usability Issue: No indication on Cc'ed participants

I generally like Mail 5, but it has some serious issues or bugs. With View > Organize by Conversation enabled, I noticed, that if you receive a message with some participants on Cc: you won’t notice that there are actually any people on Cc: unless you click on 'Details'. As a result, you have no clue whether to use 'Reply' or 'Reply All'.
Solution: In my opion the header should read for instance "Steve Jobs and 3 more".

Same problem here, I've tried everything, creating new account, re-installing... All the suggestions that the Geniuses from Apple gave me and they ended up telling me that this is a bug which they are aware and are working on it... I still find it so weird that it happens with some Macs but others are just fine.
You can report it here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
But this has been dragging for a long time so I don't know when it's going to get fixed.

  • Mail usability issue -- message list positioning

    I'm loving the iPad, but noticed a slight usability issue while reading my email today. Would be great if Apple would consider changing it in future updates.
    Whenever I open the mail app, the right pane shows the most recent message I had open last time I was using it (that's good), but the left pane scrolls down and shows that message hilighted. I would prefer if the left pane stayed at the top of the list.
    Consider the following scenario:
    1) I go home from work at 5:00PM and sit down to play with my iPad.
    2) I hear that familiar tone letting me know that I just got an email from my work account.
    3) Open up the email, lament my co-worker's stupidity, go back to playing some video games.
    4) The next day I get several hundred emails, answer them on my desktop email client.
    5) Go home at 5:00 to play with my iPad.
    6) New email
    *7) have to scroll through all those emails I got during the day before I can select the new one.*
    It's a minor annoyance, but still an annoyance.

    Thanks for the tip. I never saw Rebuild before in the menu.
    So I selected the mailbox and hit Rebuild. It "blinked" and refreshed, took about 5 seconds--I thought it would take longer.
    At any rate, no change. It's still happening.
    Any other ideas?

  • Using Gmail through Mail in Mountain Lion - issue with inbox syncing across multiple machines

    Hi. I am using Gmail through Mail in Mountain Lion on my iMac, as well as Mail in my iPad and iPhone. Generally speaking Mail seems to sync well across the three machines. However for some reason when I view an email in my inbox on either my iPhone or my iPad, the inbox on my iMac does not reflect the fact the email has been read: ie, while the email is marked as having been 'read' across both my iPad and iPhone, it remains 'unread' on my iMac. It is really frustrating and stuffs up the process managing the flow of emails. Is anyone able to help me please? Thanks so much.
    Best
    Jordan

    Hi SB. Thanks for your advice. I checked and I am using the recommended settings. I'm still not sure how to fix this. It's very irritating! I will read an email on my ipad, then hit my imac and see that the email is sitting unread in my Mail inbox.

  • Buggy Mail in OSX Lion

    I am quite dissapointed by what happens in Mail since Mountain Lion upgrade. So many strange primitive bugs that make everyday work very annoying. Is this "the most advance OS" ??
    1) adding photos to email (actual size): you add some photos and message size still shows 10kb (!!), (unlike before), you have no control over message size as before (when changing to "large", the real size is suddenly shown)
    (that Aperture, where it is set sharing /email /full size pictures/ adds in result just extremely small pictures in the mail body and is unuseable for direct adding photos in the mail is another chapter of strange bugs)
    2) Inbox - your sent email to somebody's address is shown in Inbox as an email from the sender with your sent text - grouping by conversation (makes no sense)
    3) When email is received where there are multiple conversations - in the preview pan on the left I don't see the preview of the last fresh email, but of some of the older ones  (not like before) - a bit uncomfortable and illogical. Only after clicking on it I see the fresh mail
    4) After doing the search in the inbox and collecting the view to all the mails from a certain sender, I see all of them labeled by my name (the bold title) not by sender's name. Very illogical and also not like always before
    5) Any created mailbox - sort by "TO" - no way ... I only see all (10 000 emails) with my name as a sender ... (no indication to whom they were sent) - that's absolutely horrible ..
    6) With a setting - group emails as conversation , very strange groups are made: just because ONLY the subject is the same, I see grouped mails that has NOTHING to do with each other . I suppose that grouping the email by conversation - the subject AND the other person must be the same, otherwise it makes absolutely no sense
    7) Sending 1 email (only 1 account) and I can see a progress line : "sending 2 outgoing messages" - all the time
    8) moving larger amount of emails from one mail box to another is a nightmare: Mail freezes most of the time (rainbow circle ) etc. Today Inbox content started even flashing - previews and empty space periodically changing ...
    Either I overlooked something in all the cases (then I deeply apologise) or I am strongly thinking about another email programme or OS ... Even some old outlook has not behaved like this ... Are the people from Apple not aware of it ?

    Aperture setting:
    Wanting to share the photo in the email:
    This is the result :
    It is incredibly strange and annoying and never happened like this before. Now I am unable to send photos directly from Aperture and have to export them first (very uncomfortable)
    And regarding sorting emails by (date, from etc,) - if I select sort by TO - I still see only the (bold) name of the sender in all the messages (preview column), it does not change to addressee names ... Impossible to simply see all the mails you sent to somebody ... you see only YOUR name as a sender ... very weird ...
    Other issues more clearly:
    Selected: sort messages by conversation (messages should be grouped by conversation - that should be rather practical). You keep exchanging email with John Smith with subject Greeting. They in one conversation. But in the same conversation there are also included emails with the subject Greeting that you wrote to George Bush 3 years ago !!  It makes no sense. A "conversation" should be within the same subject AND the same people . Otherwise it is a mess without sense ...
    (new in Snow Lion)
    Messages sorted and grouped by conversation. You receive a message withing ongoing conversation. You look at the preview pane (column in the left). But in the preview you do not see the beginning and preview of the message that just came but of some older message in the conversation. To see the one which just came, you have to fully open the message. (before you naturally saw the preview and beginning of the message that just came)

  • Delayed email delivery using mail app in Lion

    I'm having issues with delayed email delivery using the mail app in Lion. Specifically I have an IMAP account (AOL) that is working fine on other macs running snow leopard and on both an iPhone and an iPad. I receive an email that shows up on all other devices but does not get delivered on the Macbook Air. Clicking get new messages does not delivery the email, even if other emails have been delivered in the interim. The only way to get the email to show up is to exit Mail and restart it - and then the email shows up, in the correct date/time order and the correct read status (since I had already read it on another device).
    This has happened twice now with my AOL account in the past 24 hours (I've only had the new Macbook Air since Monday). It might also be happening on my other IMAP email accounts but I have not noticed it yet. It's intermittant as I've received many other emails correctly and ontime.
    Anyone else seeing something similar? I've never seen this with earlier versions of Mac OS X or on devices running iOS.
    This is a Macbook Air running Lion 10.7.1. I have 4 IMAP accounts set up. Mail is set to check for email once a minute and I have my IMAP accounts set to use the IDLE command.

    I have the same problem, some photos are not loaded completely and partly grey. This occurs only in Mail.app but not in the web interface of the email provider. Did you find a solution, Florian? Does somebody else have a suggestion?

  • Printed Text is Small with Mail.app in Lion

    Has anyone been able to adjust the font size of the PRINT in Mail while using Lion? I swear I feel stupid, but I can't seem to adjust this all.
    I have to print out an email and the text is soooo small. It's like 3pt. Adjusting the message view font in prefs doesn't change a thing, nor does changing the print options like "Scale to Fit", "Rewrap Message to Fit", "Keep the Same Apparent Font Size", etc.
    I have the conversation view selected, but I opened a single email as well, and it ALWAYS prints like 3pt making the text unreadable.
    I finally had to forward the email to gmail and print from gmail. Sad.
    Any ideas on how to adjust the PRINT font size only?

    Yes, I tried this as well.
    If I increase the scale to let's say 400%, it does increase the font size, but makes the text no longer appdear on one page. It will change the flow of the text so that half a sentence on the right is cut off, and the remaining text is on the next page.
    In other words, it doesn't work.
    Just in case this helps, I'm printing to a HP 4240n, but I don't think that would be it.
    Even saving to a PDF in the print dialog causes the same issue.
    Does anyone print emails from Mail.app in Lion? Am I the only one?

  • Mail import Mountain Lion Build 12D65

    I can't import mailboxes from system 10.6.8 on another hard drive to Mail in Mountain Lion. When I go to import and choose library in my home folder on 10.6.8, it appears to be empty. Attempting to import from this library folder crashes Mail. If I simply choose the hard drive, it crashes Mail.
    My home folder on the other drive is set for read/write for everyone, as is the library folder and the hard drive itself. Bur when I try to open the library folder, I get a message that says I don't have permission.

    Build 12D65 is a closed beta, and you need to address this issue on the developer forums.

  • Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

  • Mail on Mountain Lion is a total shambles....

    I am trying to decide to switch to Mail from Outlook and my first foray into the latest version of Mail on Mountain Lion suggests that it is a total shambles..
    I cannot get a consist view in my inbox of messages received, although if i go to the  iCloud.com it all seems fine. I have some simple rules set up to identify messages and copy them to local folders on the MAC and i am getting inconsistent results. For example i  have 5 messages coming in from the same sender. My rules are set up to copy all of these messages to a local folder on my Mac, only 2 out of the 5 messages are being identified and copied.
    I have another rule that copies other messages to another local folder if they are not recognized as being a member of a particular group and none of these are being recognized and copied.
    Providing feedback to Apple on Mail also seems a joke as they are only interested in you allowing them to access certain data about your confignuration......
    Anyone suggest an alternative to mail and Outlook?
    Thanks
    John

    Yes i have but i get similar issue with them.
    Thanks

  • Problems deleting mail from apple mail under mountain lion

    I'm a little baffled by the way that the DELETE function works on Mail in Mountain Lion. When I delete a mail from "All Inboxes" it appears to remain in the individual inbox. I have GMAIL and Mac.com mail being gathered into apple mail. I should note that I have GMAIL pulling apple mail into GMAIL, but it's supposed to delete it from Mac.com once the mail is pulled into GMAIL.
    Any ideas?

    I am suddenly having the same issue in mac mail. Giving me an error message "email name cannot be moved to the mailbox null" "Destination mailbox null does not allow messages to be moved to it" I have no idea what mailbox "null" is. This just started happening a day ago... Any suggestions?

    Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
    I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
    i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
    the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
    i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
    It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
    is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

  • I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

    I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
    ^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
    I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
    Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • How can I change order of email accounts in Mail on Mountain Lion?

    In Mail on Mountain Lion I have only two email accounts, but the wrong one has been set as default (because it was an account I had overlooked and added later). I cannot find how to change the order of the email accounts. One possibility is to delete the non-default account and re-add it, so that it becomes the most recent and thus (presumably) the default, but this would delete all the email messages in that account, which I cannot afford.
    It's a great flaming pain to try to remember each email I write to select the second account option, and yet I can find no way to change email account order---not in Mail and not in System Preferences. Dragging them certainly does not work.
    Can Apple have really missed this? Is there any solution?

    Comfortable with terminal...know how to edit using TextEdit:
    Open up a Terminal and use the following commands to change your Mail.app preferences file to an XML format – the default format is binary, and you can't edit this.
    cd ~/Library/Preferences
    plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.mail.plist
    Then, open this file com.apple.mail.plist with a text editor of your choice, preferably one that highlights XML syntax, but you can also use TextEdit:
    open -a "TextEdit" com.apple.mail.plist
    Now, look for the key called MailAccounts. It's value is an array, with dict children. Here, you'll find all your mail accounts in the order they were created in.
    You can now manually move these dict children around. Save the XML file and reopen Mail. Now, your Mail account order will be changed.

  • What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?

    What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.

  • Exporting OS X Mail from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail was a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade. But I think I found a way to Export Mail from ML to (a clean install of) SL.
    Try this:
    1.  Open Mail in ML. For each folder you wish to have back in SL, Export it to your ML Desktop as an .mbox file. Depending on the folder size, this can take from a few seconds to several minutes. You'll see an .mbox icon for the particular folder on your Desktop. If the word "partial" appears between the folder name and the .mbox suffix, wait a few moments for the Export to complete, at which time the word "partial" will disappear. E.g., for a folder named "Mary", if it's a huge one, the icon will first appear as "Mary.partial.mbox"; when the Export is done, you'll see "Mary.mbox".
    2.  When you've Exported all your desired folders as above, you can exit ML and re-start your Mac in SL. Open Mail in Snow Leopard, and once again, for each file you just Exported in ML to the Desktop there, select "Import Data From Apple Mail" and choose the folder from the Desktop in ML to which your mboxes were Exported. When the Import starts, you can see via a progress bar how far along it is. When done, you'll see a new folder in your SL Mail called "Import"; click on it to reveal the folder you just Imported!
    3.  Then drag the folder you just Imported out of the Import folder to "On My Mac" in SL Mail; you can then delete the Import folder.
    4.  Repeat until all your folders are where you want them (in SL).
    5.  When you have time, go back into ML and clear all those .mbox files from your Desktop.
    There MAY be an easier way, but this is what worked for me.

    The iOS view vs classic view in Mail is not the problem; I've already configured for classic view.
    Mountain Lion itself is.
    My short list (to date) of crappy Mountain Lion behavior; items marked with a double asterisk (**)represent the worst of Mountain Lion for me.
    ** No up/down arrows in scroll bar slider;
    Expose` not as easy to navigate as in Snow Leopard;
    Mail does not request passwords for either receive or send;
    No "Save Draft" icon in Mail compose window (workaround: use command-s);
    "Save As" selection missing in most app menus;
    No separate Search window in Safari (workaround: use Firefox or Opera);
    ** Can't export Mail from Mountain Lion into Snow Leopard if downgrading (I compiled this list before I stumbled on the method in this thread, but I'd prefer to effect this with Unix symbolic links);
    iWork 09 seems to have "circled the wagons" re compatibility with MS Office or LibreOffice (workaround: just use Libreoffice);
