Mail and font problems

I seem to be having major issues with fonts in Mail.
I have been using Entourage but would like to migrate over to Mail now that it provides Exchange support. I use my Macs working remotely and plugging into my companys Exchange server.
- I have set up my font in preferences, 11pts in Trebeuchet
- set up signature to be same size
All looks fine when I type and send.
When I receive a reply from my recipient (invariably on Outlook) the fonts have changed size, most especially my signature, increasing to anything from 14pts to 18pts.
My concern is that if this is how my client receives my email, or sees it like this in subsequent reply-to it looks awful and unprofessional, (esp as I work for a technology company).
Consequently I have had to go back to Entourage.
I have tried using a Terminal script to set Mails font size but this has not made any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I am having the same problem, and it is even more bizarre in that not only are the fonts not rendering properly for the recipient, but they are all over the place, with different sizes throughout the email and the signature. It's so bad that my emails look like those threatening letters made out text cut out of newspapers and pasted on the page!!
I have tried:
1 Creating a signature in the correct fonts and pasting a full point (period) at the beginning, then with each new email, starting to type after the full point. This worked prior to my upgrade to Snow Leopard.
2 Creating new stationery (given as a workaround in this thread) that didn't work at all.
The point is Apple, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE ASKING FOR A WORKAROUND!!! This should have been sorted out by now. If other mail clients can make it work, why can't Apple??
It astounds me that Apple think this is OK. This is a recurring issue that many, many people have complained about. It's not even as if I'm using a problematic font, good old Verdana (which works fine in every other email client other than MacMail). I tried Postbox for a while and it worked beautifully... but I need to use Macmail because of my Daylite database.
Otherwise I would dump MacMail. And this is from one of Apple's biggest fans (my first Mac was a 2ci!).
Really fed up and unhappy with Apple.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
Here are the different scenarios.
-If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
-If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
-If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
-If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
-If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
-If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
-If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
What I can do:
- I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
-I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
-I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message. I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
-If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail. If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

Another problem that may be related….
I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location. Please choose a different location." I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard. I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

Simultaneous Mail and iCal problems - iCal shows old to-dos

I was getting ready for my weekly backup, so I ran all the cleaning activities in OnyX. Then when I logged in after the restart, Quicksilver crashed on me 3 times in a row and acted as if I was installing it for the first time. I did not, however, have to completely reset Quicksilver. It did remember most of my settings.
Once I dealt with Quicksilver, I launched SuperDuper for the back up. SuperDuper, however, asked me to register the software. I've had to re-enter license numbers for other products, so I didn't think much of it. I launched Mail to find the message with my registration info, and that's when I started freaking out.
Mail and iCal launched simultaneously even though I clearly selected just Mail in Quicksilver. Mail displayed the welcome screen and asked me to set up a new account. iCal displayed about 30 alarms dating from early 2006 to today (9/22/2007). It also asked me if I wanted to changed the time zone setting in iCal to match the change on the computer. My calendars seemed in tact in iCal, but my to-do list is completely outdated. I now have old action items dating back to 8/2006.
After several other trouble shooting steps detailed in another post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1145401), Mail opened up by itself (no iCal) and all my accounts and messages were there.
iCal, however, still has all the old to-do items.
Does anyone know or have any idea why this happened and how I can fix the to-do list?
Thanks!

No problem with Calendar but Mail keeps syncing with the server. The activity window is full all the time - apparently re-syncing though no new mail is downloaded. Rang in but they have no idea what's causing it and have sent diagnostic to engineers. In 10.8, just a quick burst of activity when mail was checked for but now it's constant. As a result, emptying the Deleted Items mailbox is very slow. Am worried about the amount of bandwidth being eaten up.

Mail and Notes problems in Mavericks

I've just installed Mavericks and I'm instantly having problems with Mail and Notes. To wit:
1) Prior to the upgrade, I had dozens of messages flagged. Now, almost no messages show up as flagged.
2) Some Smart Mailboxes now only display only a handful of messages, when before the upgrade some of those boxes contained dozens, if not hundreds of messages.
3) Now that Notes has been separated from Mail (I skipped Mountain Lion altogether) I can't get my iCloud notes to sync to the new app.
Any guesses or advice?
Thank you,
Jeff

Hello Oskar98,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when importing video from your camera into iMovie. I was not sure of the exact steps you took to import the video footage, and I wanted to provide the steps to confirm you are following all the steps.
Try importing the footage from your camera by clicking on the link that refers to your camera type and following the steps in the related article:
To create movies in iMovie, you must import (transfer) your video footage from your camera to your Mac. You can import from most types of cameras, including:
iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
File-based cameras
Tape-based cameras

PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

Ugh.
MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
My maladies are
1. My PDFs are incomplete
2. Received MS Office filed open "blank". Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
Thanks in advance.
BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.

Hey dantefav77,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Do you get a red X or a specific error message when sending out emails? Also what type of email account are you using on the BlackBerry Z10?
How often do you lose the connection with iCal and sending?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Mail and Keychain Problem

I would like to refer to the problem of Mail asking multiple (50 plus) a day for the passwords for POP accounts. The question has been posted a couple of times here and a dozens of times in other forums. Nobody was able to give an answer. If nobody has an answer to a software problem, then it is normally called a bug.
The simple question to Apple: When will you fix this bug? It makes Mail basically unusable.
Regards

sorry to have not provided details, as everybody I know has this problem. and a couple of others-:)
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=549320&tstart=150
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=542171&tstart=270
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=548118&tstart=285
they all relate to exactly the same problem and they have been asked in the last 4-5 days in this forum and no solution has been offered. The last time I looked for an answer was 4 weeks ago and the ratio of asked questions (this question) and no answers was the same. I have seen this question in all other Mac user forums and no solution has been offered there as well. This has let me to the hypothesis, that it is a bug.
ok the details:
I have 5 POP accounts on my mac and one .Mac account. The .Mac never has a problem, but the POP accounts ask for the password randomly, sometimes twice a minute. This must happen when Mail checks with the respective mail server for new messages. The problem has popped up half a year ago, I believe when Tiger got introduced. We are five people in our office and everybody has this problem, at work and at home and with 6 different providers.
Even if you check the box, "Save password in Keychain" it happens again. You can avoid this by closing Mail and just opening it when you check for new mail every couple of hours, or you can hit the button "Connect to Internet" in Mail. If you are lucky all the POP accounts get downloaded.
I have tried the Keychain fixes, everything that got posted as possible fixes. Nothing worked.
Help would be appreciated.

Mail and Leopard problem?

Mail is not shutting down properly since upgrading to Leopard... I know others have this problem but I have not seen a credible way of resolving. Any ideas while the Jobs team is hopefully (!!) trying to resolve? Thanks, Floor.
(while quitting Mail, window dissapears but Mail menu bars stays up and Mail is still active... need to use Force Quit to get it to go away).

This forum is dedicated to the productivity application, AppleWorks. It is not a "catch-all" for how Apple computers work. For you I suggest the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard > Mail and Address Book forum.

Mail and Kerberos problem

Mail client: 10.7.4
Mail server: 10.6.8
Mail protocol: imap
Authentication: Kerberos V5
The problem: when I login on my client, a TGT is acquired normally, klist shows it, and if I launch Mail, mail get a imap service ticket and all works fine.
When my TGT expires, I cannot get a new TGT otherwise than a kinit, which is unacceptable for my users. Before, whith Snow Leopard or Leopard mail client, if no TGT was present on client, mail poped up a specific kerberos dialog box to ask the password and then get a new TGT and imap service ticket. It is anyway the actual behavior with others services as AFP for example.
I have try to create an user Launch Agent which make a kinit periodically, but when the Mac client get out of long sleep state, the TGT is expired and I have no way to launch my script at this moment.
To reproduce the problem with no ticket at sequence start:
foo-mac1:~ foo$ klist
klist: krb5_cc_get_principal: No credentials cache file found
foo-mac1:~ foo$ kinit kinit [email protected]
foo-mac1:~ foo$ klist
Credentials cache: API:501:12
        Principal: [email protected]
Issued           Expires          Principal
Jul 5 10:41:50 Jul 5 20:41:50 krbtgt/[email protected]
A this point, I launch Mail, a service ticket is created, my account is connected and well working.
foo-mac1:~ foo$ klist
Credentials cache: API:501:12
        Principal: foo@XSERVER1. MYDOMAIN.NET
Issued           Expires          Principal
Jul 5 10:41:50 Jul 5 20:41:50 krbtgt/XSERVER1. MYDOMAIN.NET@XSERVER1. MYDOMAIN.NET
Jul 5 11:01:22 Jul 5 20:41:50 imap/xserver3.mydomain.net@XSERVER1. MYDOMAIN.NET
I quit mail and delete my TGT.
foo-mac1:~ foo$ kdestroy
foo-mac1:~ foo$ klist
klist: krb5_cc_get_principal: No credentials cache file found
If I launch Mail, my account cannot connect and does not propose password dialog as precedent versions so I cannot re-create TGT and imap service ticket otherwise than kinit.
moreover, Mail log a logic entry:
03/07/12 17:04:52,838 Mail: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text (No credentials cache file found (negative cache))
03/07/12 17:04:52,838 Mail: [<_LibSasl2SASLClient: 0x7f951dd4f080> mechanism: GSSAPI security layer: no] Failed to start the SASL connection
SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text (No credentials cache file found (negative cache))
Do you have an idea to make Mail propose an user friendly dialog box when TGT expires or do you have an idea to launch a script when a Mac get out of sleep?

No solution at this point. Now we are seeing the same problem trying to authenticate radius users. Extremely frustrating!

I'm wondering if it's trying to use the wrong auth mech at first. I see the user come in with a successful DIGEST-MD5 during the problem, then successful MS-CHAPv2 following the password reset. Resetting the user's password "fixes" the issue. Until it happens again at an unspecified time.

Leopard and font problems

I have had my fonts default to courier when
printing, just like the others who have posted notices in recent
weeks. I wish I had never installed Leopard because I use FH
daily-- I don't understand Illustrator even though I have it. I
THINK in Freehand. I know I can change all my fonts to paths or
print form the PDF preview mode BUT I don't want to have to do
that. Anyway, I have another issue. I do a newsletter once a month
and the editor sends me the articles cut and pasted into eMails. I
have copied, cut and pasted the articles into FH beautifully up
until Leopard. Now I get all those crazy weird characters.
Apostrophes become "i"s, quotation marks become exclamation marks
and spaces get crosses in them. I am ready to scream! I don't want
to reinstall Panther but I will if I can't fix these issues.
Anybody got any answers? is calling Adobe Customer Support a waste
of time?

For the garbled font problem you might try removing font
cache files.
FontNuke will do the job. You can download the latest version
here.

Photoshop CS (1) and font problems (Mac OS X Leopard)

A friend of mine has Photoshop CS (1) on his G5 (running on Leopard) and he says that he has font problems ONLY IN PHOTOSHOP. Bad fonts, missing fonts. Now, whether he uses a font management software or not is not important since that problem does not happen in other programs (like Illustrator). Are there issues between Photoshop CS and fonts.
Thanks

CS1 works on my friend's desktop which runs on Leopard but it doesn't seem to work on a Macbook which runs on Leopard. We've installed it and it's reported that installation is complete but upon opening the program, an error message states that certain files had not been installed and to reinstall the program to recover them. We've tried reinstalling multiple times but to no avail. Any explanation?

Mac Mail and Hotmail problem

Hello,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I have searched with no luck yet.
I recently set up Mail to retrieve mail from my hotmail accounts.
It worked fine for about 4 days then just stopped working. It will not connect to the hotmail server.
I have tried all the suggestions I have seen during my search but nothing works.
I deleted my accounts on Mac Mail and started again but now get the message that the server "pop3.live.com" is not responding during the setup.
Why would this work for a few days then without any changes from me just stop working? Why does the server not respond now but did four days ago when I initially set it up without any problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Regards.

The same thing happened to me and probably to all other users of the httpmail plugin. I looked up on the Automagic Software website (creator of httpmail) and they mentioned that as of September 1st 2009, Microsoft has withdrawn support for HTTPmail protocol.
If someone else has got it to work, please post here. Thanks.

Mail and Gmail problem (beginner in mac)

Hello, I just moved from windows to mac. Right now I am having this problem:
I seted up my gmail account in apple mail, i have never deleted an email in my gmail account (i have around 4k mails), and now when i sync the account, apple mail downloads all and every email to my mac from my gmail account.
is there anyway to download only unread emails (update)? and after a day or two mail deletes old emails?
i just followed mail's steps to set the g acct.
thanks,

I'm having the same problem, but before I follow this step, I just want to be clear:
I want my NEW mails to be loaded with imap in Apple Mail, but I don't want the old messages (more than 18,000) to be downloaded. Are you saying that if I check "only messages I've read" that only the subject line of the emails will be automatically downloaded from the old mails, but not the contents of the emails themselves until I click on the mail?
Problem is, I also work a lot 'offline' in airplanes, and I want to be able to work on my current emails so that when I'm back someplace where I'm 'online' all those messages can be sent. I do need to have the contents of my current emails (the ones I need to respond to), so will this work against me?
Thanks in advance.

E-mail and Attachment Problem on web...

hi guys,
I developed a form in forms 6i for my client/server application. It was working well in c/s environment. I use to generate a PDF file and send the same file via attachment to the person by giving its e-mail address.

Mail and safari problem

Hi All busy week for the boards.
Has anyone come across this one? Was trying the Mail contents of page ideas for creating custom
mail and have found safari saying
"Safari couldn’t create an email message because it couldn’t locate an email application.""You can use the Mail application included with Mac OS X to send webpages. To do so, you need to install Mail using the Mac OS X installation CDs."
I have done the install of 10.5 which went smooth, then tried a seperate install of both mail and safari from the 10.5 disk but still nothing.
Any ideas you gurus?

B, Genius, that did the trick. It was down as default but just selected it again and bingo, the warning
from safari went away, Had to restart mail though to make it all work but work it did.
Thnx so much, that one had me, It's guys like you on the boards that help make mac great
not just the genius of elJobso.
