Mail and "loading message"

Every once in a while I have a hard time reading my emails. I use a Go Daddy IMAP account.
If an email has already been downloaded from the server, for example, if it's a few days old and I have already read it, why does the email say "loading" if I look for it a few days later???? The value of having an email app that's not web based, l like gmail or hotmail, is that the emails have been downloaded on your computer and readily availble for later use.
I have the latest OS which is Mavericks I believe. It does not happen all the time but it's really annoying and slows me down at work. I have browsing capabilities so it's not necessarily a connectivity issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

are you using IMAP or POP? is it an incoming or outgoing message that's hung? what's your mail provider?
try this: disconnect from the internet, open Mail, wait for it to time out, then rebuild your mailboxes. see if that fixes it.

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
Is this possible? I don't see any options?
All I see is this:
Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for
   transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
      Your bill is ready for review.
     Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
     Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

What phone?
You would need to disable data on the phone itself. You wouldn't do it online on your account.
Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

Trying to send e-mail and error message " a copy has been placed in your outbox. the sender address was rejected by the server"

trying to send e-mail and error message " a copy has been placed in your outbox. the sender address was rejected by the server"

i have the same problem with my 3gs and tried to add my email acc+pass in the outgoing server but it got rejected.
just bin on the phone(45min) with my carrier support about this issue they are pretty much scratching there head, the settings i should use gets verified with no problems when i add the outgoung server, but still cant send mails.

It stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

Recently, Thunderbird stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

Further notes (different user, same problem):
* This is a problem that started in Thunderbird 32
* This involves both automatic (filter) moves and manual moves
* This includes use of keys and hotkeys (the delete key, for example)
* Restarting Thunderbird does seem to "reset" the problem... for a while. I notice the problem most when either I've been away from the computer/program for a while or when waking a laptop computer from a sleep or hibernation state.

Apple Mail and Sent Messages

I have been having some issues with my iCloud email account and Mavericks. I wasn't sure if this was an iCloud issue or an issue with Apple Mail. It has to do with saving Sent messages. A couple of months ago, I had some issues with Mail. I deleted the com.apple.mail and com.apple.MailServiceAgent folders in ~Library/Containers and I deleted any plist files in Preferences. It worked for a couple months. Then, about two weeks ago, I noticed Sent emails were not be saved any where on my iMac.
So, I repeated the procedure and created Mail anew. It worked great for about a week. I always have the "save sent messages to server" option turned on. Then, one day I got some kind of message that a folder called "Sent" could not be created on the server. Looking at Mail, my Sent folder was completely gone. All of my previously saved messages in Sent were moved to the folder INBOXToDos.mbox/Sent Messages.
At first I thought iCloud itself was messed up. I logged into iCloud. There was no Sent mailbox, and there was no INBOXToDo mailbox. So, now I have no sent messages anywhere in iCloud. I sent an email from Safari in iCloud, and then, iCloud created the Sent mailbox.
Still, my Mavericks iMac will not save sent messages anywhere. I need help sorting this out and don't want to lose my previous sent messages even though they seem to be stored in some wonky folder.

Where is the Sent Messages folder listed? If it is not under MAILBOXES but in an IMAP folder, select it and go to Mailbox menu, Use this mailbox for>Sent.
It should disappear and sent messages then appear in the Sent folder.

Internet Mail only says "All Mail" and "No Messages"

I have Bold 9700 with OS 6 and 4 different emails set up. I have work email with BES for Exchange and three different internet email accounts. All of them have been working fine until today. I have my icons set up so there is a different one for each mail account. The "Messages" icon is set up so that only the BES work email is viewable there. The three internet email accounts each have their own icon. When I open the icon for the problem email account it just says * No Messages * and at the top where it used to have the name of that email account it just says "All Mail". I am still receiving email to this account and I can access it by hitting the blackberry button, selecting Filter, and clicking Inbox. This is very inconvenient however, and I want to make it work the way its supposed to and how the other email accounts work. I tried the following with no success:
1. Power off, pull out battery, wait a minute, put back in and power on.
2. Pull out the battery while it is on and put it back in.
3. Delete the email account and recreate it (it just picked up the old settings).
Please help!!! I know I must have screwed up the view settings for this account but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Hola octaviolpgr.
Not sure what you mean by “I've just re-installed Mac OSX Tiger”. If you did an Archive and Install, your mail should all be there, just like the rest of your data.
Anyway, Gmail doesn’t allow the same message to be downloaded more than once via POP by normal means. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes.

Snow Leopard, Mail and Recovered message

I just installed Snow Leopard and every time I open Mail, it "Recovers" some message 2 or 3 times, I never had this problems before, it began the next hour after installed SL.
Any idea please,
Thank you

Hi Ernie,
I run a private IMAP server I run on my home LAN - primarily for moving email between my Windows Live (Hotmail) mail folders, and Mac Mail. I use a PC to copy email from Hotmail to the IMAP server, and then the Mac to retrieve those messages (I'm also fairly new to Mac - well, the last time I used it in anger it was System 7!).
The private IMAP server is normally reliable, but occasionally a largeish file appears to fail to transfer from Mac to IMAP folder (never from PC to IMAP folder) - it then becomes 'stuck', not appearing in either the POP3 inbox, or the destination folder.
But - and this is the worrying part - Mail whirs away and 'recovers' the stuck email into a 'Recovered Messages' folder. A minute later it whirs some more and creates another copy of the SAME email in the same folder. A minute later and another copy is created.
This carries on - I've left it alone, restarted Mail, restarted the Mac, but each time it creates a new copy of the stuck email. I've seen 20 copies of the same email created. If left unchecked I could imagine it filling
I've tried moving the email out of the folder back into the POP3 inbox, into another IMAP folder, just deleting the messages and emtying the Mail trash - but each time Mail whirs away and carries on creating recovered copies of the same email.
The only way I have found to stop this from happening is to remove the account, restart Mail and then re-add the account for the IMAP server. It then downloads all the messages again and the problem is gone.
Is there just a way to remove the 'stuck' message, or tell Mail to ignore the recovered message so it doesn't create multiple copies?
Cheers, Richard

Mac Mail and Gmail Messages

Hello,
I'm trying to setup my mac mail application to retrieve mail from my GMail account. I got it working, the only problem is that it is trying to retrieve ALL of my gmail. I must have over 4000 e-mails from the last 4 years. Is there any way to set it up so it only retrieves new e-mails?
Thanks!

I read some instructions on how to setup the POP email, and I seem to get the same result. I looked for the option to download only new mail and I couldnt find it, in the mailbox behaviors tab or advanced tab. This is leopard I am in, could it be different?

Jpg attachments corrupt under leopard mail and hang message

I-phone: Message shows fine
Exchange on Leopard: Message shows up fine
Leopard Mail Dual PPC G5: Message hangs
Leopard Mail MacBook Pro Intel: Message hangs
The only way to see the corrupted message is to choose "forward as attachment". When opening it it shows that the jpg image looks to be the instigator..... (the old millions of lines of code issue)
Anyone else having similar issues?

Same here. I have a client that uses outlook. He has an auto-signature in his mail client. Part of his signature is a JPG of his corporate logo. Every email he sends freezes (it says loading, but nothing happens... I haven't waiting long enough to see an error message). I called him and had him send a test with no logo. Works just fine. So, it is specifically the logo in his signature line that is causing the error.

After deleting several email from my phone, it will not update in Mac Mail and shows message: Messages could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash"

Using Outlook account associated with work. Deletes on iPhone, but not in Mac Mail. I do not have Outlook for Mac.

Does the Outlook account allow you to store deleted mails on server?
Look under trash and see if "Store deleted messages on the server" is checked

Click on new mail and old messages appear

Hi, I've had this problem sporadically for several months. I am using my Gmail account as well as a school account via IMAP with Mail. Every now and then I get a new message in my inbox, and when I click on it, the contents of the message, as well as the sender, subject, date, are all from a random older message in my inbox.
The new message header information appears correctly when it arrives in my inbox, but then when I click on it to read it all the info is wrong and is from an older message. When I log in directly via gmail there is no problem. Yesterday and today this has happened with five e-mails. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Andreas

I am having exactly the same problem. I logged the problem with Apple, they tried to resolve it, determined it to be a database corruption specific to the Administrator account (problem does not occur with other users). Solution = delete Admin user & recreate. This is not a viable option for me, so I'm using Entourage for mail instead.

Failing e-mail and disappearing messages

Good day all - I am having trouble with my dot mac mail - it is quite unreliable, I get some messages and not others and some of my alias's work and others don't. So far as sending messages is concerned, some of my e-mails are received and some not. I have been using dot mac for a number of years and so far as I know, until recently, it has worked fine - but now - I am on the point of giving up. Then, to make matters worse, a few days ago all the messages in my 'in' box just disappeared, from my computer as well as from the server - vanished as if they had never existed.
I would really appreciate it if someone can shed any light on what is going on. I have not changed any settings or anything else on my computer. I am alone in this or has anyone else suffered the same?

You’re welcome.
In that case, you may want to look/post in the .Mac Forums.
You may also want to report the disappearance of your mail to .Mac email support, in case they have access to additional information that could help determine what happened and/or recover your mail.

Reply in mail and original message

Hi,
I have an issue with mail that has finally annoyed me enough to post about it and hopefully resolve. When i reply to messages mail includes the reply as an attachment (text file) rather than inline in the message.
Has anyone got any suggestions? I have tried the options for keeping the message as the same format, tried the options for increasing quote level.
Thanks...

Scah,
a few questions to better understand:
1. what is attached as a text file instead of inline - your reply or the original message?
2. what message format are you using? (It is under Mail-Preferences-Composing)
3. does the reply appear as a text file on your Mac while writing, or does it appear as a text file at the recipient? If the latter, what e-mail program do they use?
Please post back.

Mail won't fully load messages

Ever since updating to 10.4.5, I open Mail, and the circle that shows the progress gets to about 50% to 95% (differs every time) and then hangs. I let it sit for an hour, still nothing. The only way to stop it is to force quit, and sometimes that takes a minute or two. My modem light is blinking like it's transferring data from the 'net, but Mail never fully loads the messages. I can see the headers, but clicking on them gives me the spinning beach ball and Mail says 'Loading Message' in the preview box.
Thanks.

Does this happen with all messages or only specific messages.
It sounds like that this might be an HTML email and Mail is trying to download images from a remote site. Perhaps the remote site is down or a certain image within the email is linked wrong and Mail is trying to download an image that isn't there.
That's a big problem with HTML emails. Try viewing plain text emails and see if you get the same result.

Mail won't load messages, spinning ball

Can't get my mail to load messages, shows it trying too but just spins. Can't get into my mail preferences either as I get the spinning ball and have to force quit mail. Any suggestions?

Have you tried rebuilding the mailbox? Select the account in your Inbox, then choose Mailbox > Rebuild and wait for it to finish. Then restart Mail and see if the problem continues.
