Mail (8.2) message sorting in Yosemite: No longer allows quick tab sorting of messages?
In previous versions of Mail, you've always been able to do quick sorting of messages with the To/From, Subject, Date Received tabs at the top of the message lists. I don't use the Conversation view, preferring instead the Classic view. When selecting/highlighting a message in a list, the message would resort themselves if you clicked on any of the header tabs. However, now, this doesn't happen. It will resort the whole list and you lose your target message.
Note, that searching for messages or the "show related messages" function in the View pull-down menu is far less useful and convenient to scan messages. There's no more list.
Does anyone have any insights into how to get this feature back? Or why such a simple and useful feature would no longer be present.
Frontage,
YES. Isn't it silly. Somehow, software companies feel an over arching need to offer new versions & so often, THEY MESS THEM UP! If only we could easily go back to the previous ones.
However, in this case, there is a solution- Like you, I was trying to figure out what Old Toad was saying & where on the screen his pic came from. I was clicking around the upper left corner of the screen, on the flag icon, on the mailboxes & perhaps other things. Something I did restored the feature, so that when sorted, the message used as the sort key remains selected. I quit Mail & restarted & it still works.
So there is a solution. (I just wish I could say what it was.)

Have you tried a reset? It cures many ills and nothing is deleted.

Find my phone no longer allows us to send a message??
Did they remove this option?
No, they did not. But the option to add a message is no longer included with the "Play Sound" option. Instead, you must choose Lost Mode.

Mac mail not showing jpg attachments after yosemite install
I use Mac Mail and have recently upgraded to Yosemite.
Since upgrading I can no longer view jpg images sent by email from my security camera system. They used to be shown within the message, but since the upgrade to Yosemite they're not shown in the message anymore (well, they are shown in about 1% of messages), even the attachment won't open after saving to desktop.
When I try opening the attachment after I have saved it, it says it may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
I can view these images when using outlook on my mac, but preferred the Mail app, as it was easier to view the images in Mail.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?I have the exact same issue.

I wonder if it has something to do with the file name

Exchange mail very slow on OS X yosemite
Often when a system update comes out, Mail is the culprit in each release. This release is no exception. I updated to OS X Yosemite and accessing my emails through Mail is painful if not nearly impossible. Exchange connects without error and syncs up all services without a problem - except Mail which is constantly pushing requests to Fetch information from the server, constantly syncing. As a result it means I can't read my email let alone reply to them.
I removed my exchange account and delete my Mail cache and local folders, readded the account, but still no joy.
IS anyone else have issues with this or simply me ?I have a similar problem. Mail is very slow performing actions on Exchange server such as deleting mail, fetching mail. It is very slow even sowing the rainbow spinner often when performing an action. This is an upgrade from Mavericks on a Mac Mini (late 2012) with a 2.6GHz i7 quad core CPU. It is connected to an Exchange Server 2010. When I use connection doctor it takes a very long time to show a connected message.
I have tried deleting the account and re creating it but the problem persists.
The issue does not exist on Airmail 2 connected to the same Exchange Server on the same computer nor does it happen on an MacBook Air 11 (mid 2012) where the Yosemite install is an upgrade from Yosemite Beta 6.
Any ideas how to fix this? -
I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -
What do I do? I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple>About this mac>overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.
I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
Hope someone else can give some insight -
No longer able to create a new message window in Apple Mail
Please help! When I am in Apple Mail, I am no longer able to create a new message window (Command-N), and so cannot send any mail. This just started after the most recent OS update yesterday.
Have you tried
1. clicking on the New Message icon?
2. File menu / New Message?
I am trying to figure out if your problem is because Mail is not working, or whether it is a problem elsewhere, e.g. the keyboard. -

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
I can use Mail at home, no problem. But when I travel, I can receive mail but not send it. I get a "server can't be reached" message. Yet when I send a photo using iPhoto, it gets sent. Help!!
To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]

My iPhone does not notify me of calls in Voice Mail. I will see that I missed a call but there are no messages in VM. Cellular data is off - only voice roaming. Suggestions?
DJTayLo, Let's get your voicemail working! I noticed you metioned that your Cellular Data is off. Visual Voicemail does need to be connected to Cellular Data in order to retreive voicemails for the iPhone. This can cause the notifications to be delayed. When you turn Cellular Data on do the notifications then show correctly? Which model iPhone do you have? We'll figure this out.
