Mail 7.0 - "Get Account Info" listing - a bug?

I very frequently use the "Get Account Info" listing (via the 'gearwheel' at the bottom of the Maibox list) to remove unnecessary mail from the server to save downloading it yet again to my wife's little G4 iBook. However, with Mavericks they seem to have messed up the window as the listing now has no order and I'm unable to set it to any order - I prefer date - although it sometimes lists as size in descending order. A bug?

No luck, unfortunetly. I've even restarted the whole computer. They are usually still there, and sometimes, even older messages that I deleted from the drafts folder a long time ago, reappear as well. I've also deleted the account from Mail and set it up from scratch several times hoping that would work, but it failed as well.

Checking emails using Get Account Info function

When using the "Get Account Info" function to check and delete emails on POP servers, the first message in the display list always shows no information regarding that message.
Resorting the list has no effect. While it will allow me to determine what the "mystery message" is by moving it to a different location on the list, the top message in the resorted list remains blank as far any information about it is concerned. The two screen shots show what I'm talking about. The first one is of the original list - the second one after changing the sort. As you can see, in both cases, the only information available about the message is the date stamp.
This is an absolutely reliable occurrence with POP servers. It may also happen on IMAP servers, but I have no email accounts on IMAP servers with which to test it. I've submitted a bug report to Apple, but if anyone here has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

It happens across all accounts. Anyone here should be able to replicate this just by checking their email on the server using the "get account info".

If it's asking you to confirm account information or anything else of a personal nature, it's almost certainly a fake. See:

Mavericks Mail Account Info

At the bottom of the Mailboxes column of the Mail window the little "gear wheel" gives access to "Get Account Info". Before Mavericks the choice of sort order displayed in this window could be set. Now it's no longer possible; it just auto-sorts on the message size - and that's it. Is there any way to get around this restriction? I found it very useful to sort on other columns, "date received", "from" or whatever, to avoid my wife having to download a mass of unnecessary mail onto her little iBook via a slow connection.

In the Classic View, if I control - click on the dot, it gives me an option to sort by.

Mac Mail losing account info

Hi,
Every once in a while, and I don't know why, MacMail just loses my account info.
For example, everything was perfect (even this morning) until I came back from lunch today. I opened up Mail and just got the spinning wheel next to my account name and then the circle with the triangle & exclamation point inside. Doesn't show any errors at all. Just no incoming email. This account is for an account on my web host, not gmail or yahoo mail or other webmail thing.
Also, for another account I also get the spinning wheel and then I get a message that says "The POP server "pop.sbcglobal.net" rejected the password...." This also used to work fine and I don't know why it would suddenly lose the account info.
The first problem is more of an issue for me because I don't get any message that tells me what's wrong.
Any help is appreciate.
Rob

MacMail just loses my account info.
Mail is not losing your account info; it's just unable to establish a connection to the mail server for some reason. Happens all the time, around the world, so it's nothing to worry about. It should correct itself on the next attempt.

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

Mail Account Info incomplete

I have just upgraded to Yosemite. Mail now has a problem. In the Account Info window, the top line (sender header) of the message list is always incomplete.
The From, Subject and Size fields are blank. Date received is OK. Also all data in the maIn message window is OK.

The email accounts available should be in the window below the sync email accounts selection under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Is the new email account available under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and if so, is the new email account selected?

I set up iCloud on my mac account and now my husband is getting his mail and also my mail on his gmail account. How do I stop him from getting my mail?

I set up my icloud account and now my husband who has a gmail e-mail address is getting all of my mail , calander info etc. How do I stop this from happening?

I have answered this in your other thread. This is the third time I've seen this question from you. Please don't do this.

Compose mail contains 'from:' drop down that lists mail account i have deleted

I am running Lion and according to software update i am fully up to date.
I added an old sky.com mail account to mail.app then later deleted it.
When i look in preferences of mail, on the account tab only my gmail account (my main account) is listed.
However when i compose a new email i now see a dropdown that says 'from:' and it lists both the gmail and sky accounts - even though the sky one is deleted.
How can i get the sky account removed from this list?

It might be caused by storage "buffering". If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

TS3276 can't download mail from windows live account. I have deleted and re-set up the account but still won't work. I can go online and access with no problem or get mail from other apple devices.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) but I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) after following the link at the bottom of a marketing e-mail from Apple.
Unfortunately I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

The e-mail checks out as having come from an IP address registered to Apple.
Received-SPF: pass (mxeu0: domain of insideapple.apple.com designates 17.254.6.124 as permitted sender) client-ip=17.254.6.124; envelope-from=[email protected]; helo=msbadger0204.apple.com;
The sender address wasn't spoofed and all the links in the mail lead to legitimate apple web sites. (It was an advert for a MacBook Air christmas special). There was a link at the bottom of the e-mail which takes me to the Apple 'manage your e-mails' page.
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mynews.apple.com/subscriptions?v=2&la=de_de&.....
On this page there are check boxes for the various Apple news and iTunes marketing e-mails, and the option to change my e-mail address. The boxes are not checked but I still get marketing e-mails.

Mail erases account info and now requires a new port number to send mail

well like the topic said, my mail tends to erase all my account info, and when I re-enter it it says I cannot send or receive mail.
I somehow now got it so I can GET mail but it still won't let me send mail citing that the port number is wrong and now asks for an IMAP path prefix... sheesh...
any suggestions?
thanks!

OK...OK I think I fixed it... sorry for the crazed post
i was trying to change the port in the wrong window... i did the old 'change to port 587 trick' ...whew
but this does happen a lot... any reason why?
or is mail just buggy??
