Mail.app bug?

Hi there,
Im using mail.app to a IMAP server (not dotmac).
I just noticed a wird number at the top of the mail.app window. I guess there is supposed to be the number of mail in my inbox, but there has never been that many messages in there. Not even close even if you cumulate
Look here:
http://usenet.ducktrucks.dk/mailappbug.jpg
(Just above the "Reply all" button".)
Can I fix it?

Hmm.... I found a way to remove the problem.
Standing on the inbox. Ctrl + click and "Erase deleted messages".
Then this crazy number dissappeared. I have no idea why because this number where infinitly high...

OSX Lion Mail.app bug in signatures containing a URL

This is highly reproducable: try adding an image followed by text in a signature in Mail.app. Now select the image and add a url (CMD+K) e.g. to your company website. So far this should look the way you expect. Now click on some other preference, so Mail saves the signature. I have multiple signatures, so I just click any other signature. Click back on the signature you have just created, and notice how all text that came after the image now is underlined.
Why?
There's a bug in the way Mail saves the webarchive file for the signature (~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Signatures/<blabla>.webarchive. When you open this file, you will find a bunch of binary bla, followed by invalid (see missing quotes in attributes below) HTML, that will contain your image similar to this:
<a href="http://www.mywebsite.com/">
<SPAN class="Apple-string-attachment"><OBJECT height=53 width=157 type=application/x-apple-msg-attachment data="cid:[email protected]"></OBJECT></SPAN>
Don't ask me why Mail capitalizes just these tags and not any other tags, but the most important bit is that Mail forgets to add the closing tag </a>, so now everything trailing the image is linked too.
I cannot reproduce this in Safari, so apparently Mail and Safari do not share code here. I have tried what happens when copy/paste a valid rendered HTML file with the appropriate signature text from Safari into Mail, but the result is the same.

also via applescript same beahviour, composing a message and including an attachment after setting the signature make underlined all the text after the first email adress inside the signature.

Mail attachment assertion failure Yosemite - Mail app bug

Hi,
I am facing a very annoying issue with Mail app. Since the upgrade to Yosemite, I am unable to save attachments with the "save all" button and the drag and drop is not working properly (sometime freezing the mail app for a minute). I am using Yosemite 10.10.2
I tried every fix I have read online, such as :
- rebuild mailboxes
- repair permissions
- remove 3 enveloppe index files in .../V2/MailData
- reindex spotlight
- run the command to repair permissions & reset home directory permissions and ACL (from this post : Mavericks Mail "Save Attachement..." doesn't work)
- onyx automations...
Nothing presented above fixed the problem.
Here are the console logs related to the issue :
20/02/2015 03:38:49,690 mdwrite[4655]: -[MDKeyRing initWithService:label:comment:] (/SourceCache/Spotlight/Spotlight-917.1/xpc-services/mdwrite/MDKeyRing.m:294) failed assertion -- Couldn't add Spotlight Metadata Privacy password to keychain! [osErr:-25295]

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up

Mail app bug with jumping to new line below signature

Hi!
Since day one of using Lion i have this incredibly annoying bug with Mail application.
I have a formated signature in all my emails. Sometimes when I am composing a mail (or rather replying for one) and when I hit RETURN on keyboard, cursor moves BELOW signature and inserts new line below signature - not in place when it was when I hit RETURN.
The same is when I have cursor in middle of my message and hit enter. Nothing happens - text ater place when cursor was when I hit enter is staying where it was but cursor moves below signature and enters new line in there.
Anyone has solution for this?

Triple-click the word "telnet" in the line below on this page to select the whole line:
telnet imap.gmail.com 993
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You should almost instantly get three lines of output below what you entered, the last of which is this:
Escape character is '^]'.
If there's no output within ten seconds, consider that a failure. If you get something different from the above, please post it in a reply. You can then quit Terminal.

Has anyone found the mail app bug regarding "return" during typing?

OS X 10.1.1
During the composition of an email, I find the cursor dropping down to the next line without hitting the "return" key. It will drop down after an apostrophe and sometimes in the middle of a word. It will also drop down a line for every .... (4 periods) in a row. This is maddening. It is like it is formatting for the vertical iPhone screen randomly. This does not happen anywhere else but in the new Yosemite mail program. It was not a problem in Mavericks or Snow Leopard.
Has anyone had this issue?

Did all that. Didn't help
thanks

Mail.app and Exchange 2007 with Rollup 3 ... anyone get it to work?

Spent way too much time on this...
After finding our our Exchange 2007 server didn't have the legacy components installed to ensure WebDav would work, we can now connect to our Exchange 2007 mail server from Microsoft Entourage for all Windows Active Directory accounts.
For Apple Mail however, this is not the case. Opening mail, the account information does default in accurately (email, userID, exchange 2007 server) when I enter a users password, it says that it is unable to connect to mail server user/password failed.
If I manually create the account, the same thing occurs, a pop-up appears prompting for a password, which I enter and it comes back saying it isn't valid.
The password is valid because on the same Mac I open up Entourage and log in.
Keychain is NOT used and none of the passwords are held because of the headaches this causes.
Looking for ideas, thinking this is more of an Apple Mail.app bug not working with Exchange than a Microsoft issue.

Just want to add to this...it was resolved the Advanced tab is very important on mail.app.
The Advance tab authentication must match what the Exchange server/Active Directory is using.
For us NTLM is what we need to use.
Also we found that one exchange server had a bad installation while another had no problem connecting via mail.app.
Thus the installation is going to be looked at.

Kerberos / GSSAPI authentication not working in Mail.app

I am using Kerberos with a Debian server on which is running the MIT KDC, Cyrus imapd, and sendmail. I have been using Kerberos authentication with Mail.app in this environment for some time, under Tiger. I just upgraded to Leopard, and it no longer works. The problem is simple: the Mail.app IMAP conversation goes like this:
OK sequoia Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.18-IPv6-Debian-2.1.18-5.1 server ready
1.11 CAPABILITY
* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDP LUS ID NOATOMICRENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=GSSAPI AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=NTLM ANNOTATEMORE
1.11 OK Completed
2.11 AUTHENTICATE GSSAPI
+
2.11 NO authentication failure
Mail.app simply sends an empty GSSAPI message. This problem does not appear to be in the Kerberos libraries or endemic to Apple's apps in general, since Kerberos authentication still works in both SSH and WebDAV. This appears to be a Mail.app bug.
- Richard Silverman

Have you found any work around? I'm having exactly the same problem.
As you say, kerberos in general seems okay -- not only does GSSAPI work fine for other programs, it even works correctly for ThunderBird running under 10.5. Meanwhile Mail.app doesn't even try to fetch service tickets, nor does it use them if something else already has.
I've tried everything I can think of -- using the real A/PTR hostname instead of the CNAME, adding a user with a principal name that matches my username, hard-coding kerberos settings into the config file rather than relying on DNS -- but nothing makes Mail.app even try to use GSSAPI for IMAP or SMTP.

Possible Bug in Mail.app

I am running a server and clients -- all at 10.4.4. The mail app on the clients Version 2.0.5 (746/746.2).
I have been tracking down errors in my imapd log file. The errors are:
Feb 5 00:18:05 EaseServer imap[23046]: IOERROR: reading message: unexpected end of file
You can find various people asking for help on this but no help. I believe I tracked this down. It is not an imapd problem but a Mail client problem.
When the client wants to add a file to an existing mail box on the server, it does an APPEND command. The "literal" at the end of the command can take on two forms: { number } or { number + }. The second is called the "non-sychronizing" form.
By default, this is supprted by imapd (and advertised) and used by the client. In this case, the client is suppose to not wait for the server to reply with the "go ahead" response but just blast the message across the wire. Well... it does not. Instead, you get a pregnant pause and eventually imapd times out and rejects the request. The client, eventually, may even crash from all this but, for sure, it will provide a very poor user experience.
The work around I did was to download CyrusIMAP from the OpenDarwin.org. In cyrus_imap/imap/version.h, the CAPABILITY_STRING advertises LITERAL+. If that is removed, then imapd does not claim to support it (even though the bug is in the client). This prompts the client not to use it. And things appear to work much better.
I know virtually zilch about IMAP protocol, cyrus, Mail.app, or imapd -- so, someone needs to verify all this.
The thing that is curious to me is why I hit the problem and others seem to be working fine. There are a few people that have noticed the problem but, they seem to be the exception and not the rule...

I have tracked down my problems to a call to sasl_decode in prot_fill (in imapd).
To recap: I am getting IOERROR: unexpected end of file in my imapd log file. The client interface is also slow and sometimes crashes.
It turns out that if the client has Kerberos GSSAI authentication and the client tries to do an "APPEND" command (which is what the imap protocol uses to add a message to an existing mailbox), the APPEND frequently fails (but not always). The rest of my Kerberos stuff appears to be fine.
The APPEND is sent across to the server. The client can be set up to do LITERAL+ or not. The client sends all of the message in either case. The server reads all of the packets. Usually the first packets go through the sasl_decode and result in valid text. But after the first block (4096) or so of data, the remaining data is lost and sasl_decode reports back that there is only two valid characters. No errors are reported back (that I am aware of).
I ended my quest at this point last night and I probably will not pick it up again. For now, I can work around the problem by switching to plain authentication and just set up a VPN before using mail.
I hope this helps whoever follows in my footsteps...

Font size bug in iOS 7.0.4 mail app?

Hi,
I experience a strange behaviour with iOS 7 mail app. When I try to read a plaintext mail with the iPhone in portrait orientation the font size is oddly big. I can "zoom" in with a two finger pinch but I cannot zoom out to decrease the font size.
Is this a bug, a setting I activated somewhere, a silly feature?
Thanks for advice,

Yes, the time and date is correct. It just started happening a few days ago and has bene like this since. I cant even open the mail, because theirs no content in them. Nor can i delete it.

Bug in decoding of From-addresses in Mail.app

Dear all,
since quite some time there is a bug in Mail.app, which leads to problems in replying to certain mails. The bug is similar (or the same) as in thunderbird 2 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254519), which was fixed in Thunderbird 3.
If a "From:" line encoded with RFC 2047 contains characters which should, per RFC (2)822, be quoted (because it contains commas (",") or similar) Mail.app does not decode it properly but treats (in the case of a comma ",") this as two different addresses. A reply to such a message usually results in a bounce or error (since the first part is usually not a valid address).
An example for such a "From:" line is:
From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?M=FCller=2C_Henry?= <[email protected]>
This is correctly encoded and thunderbird 3 and (I hate to say this) outlook treats this correct.
Maybe someone from apple reads this and there is a chance to get this fixed soon, since it is rather annoying and causes a lot of user questions to our helpdesk. Or is there another easy fix (without changing the "From:" address.
Best regards,
Damian

Bug in Mail App in LION

Just the other day, my hard drive depleted to the point of 54MB and I got a warning that my start up disk is full and I need to delete files. I found that strange since I have about 200+Gig available, the last I checked and did not do any new downloads. But I deleted a bunch of stuff anyway, and restored my size to 9 Gig.
Next day, same message. I knew something is wrong, called Apple and discovered that there is a bug in the Mail app. For some reason it created a Recovered folder in the Mail folder that just kept copying over and over again. The tech told me it's a bug but no clear direction on how to solve it and/or when. The only thing we did was delete that file and my space was restored. I was told that is all I would need to do for now and I should be fine. Well, today, again my HD is depleting and sure enough, there is that recovered folder again.
Anyone else with this problem? Specifically, it appears to be doing it with my Yahoo mail. I'm thinking I should delete the account, start over. If anyone has other ideas or if it's a settings thing in Mail or Yahoo pop settings, please let me know.
Thanks

It's not related to a third party app. I don't have any. The tech was able to pinpoint the folder in the Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes
He said they have had reports of this bug and he went directly there. So they must be aware of it.

Is anyone experiencing a bug in mail app in iOS 7 ?

I'm experiencing a bug in mail app in iPhone as well as in my iPad... This bug makes all my mails unread whenever I refresh for mails and whenever I read a new mail it stays unread even if a close the app. Please help me if possible...

I've not heard of or experience any such issue.
Have you tried removing and readding the accounts in question?

Bug in Mail.app preventing from retrieving mail

Found a bug today when using Mail.app:
What happened:
- I setup my IMAP account onto Mail
- Synchronized Mail with my IMAP account by clicking 'Get Mail'
-> I could get all my mails, but any other click on 'Get Mail' ended up with doing nothing. Even the 'Check for new mail every x minute' checked, I was never getting new mails. The only way to retrieve my mails was to quit Mail.app and run it again or Go offline in the App and then click 'Get Mail'
Did some investigations and here's what I found:
- Displayed the Activity Viewer at startup
- I saw that the app was connecting to the server, then getting mail, then doing some caching over my attachments in existing mails. While the task running on attachment was not finished I was able to click 'Get Mail' and see a task for it.
- Once the task for attachment was finished, 'Get Mail' stopped working and no new task appeared in the activity viewer each time I clicked the button
- Quit Mail.app and ran it through terminal.
- When caching the attachments, I saw an exception about an absurd size in one of the attachments and some lock issues (sorry didn't copy the exception at that time)
- Sorted my mail by attachment and looked for a mail for an attachment with a strange size.
- While I did not saw anything weird in the sizes, when I went over one of the mails, got again the exception in the terminal.
- Deleted the mail, restarted Mail.app
-> And everything started working fine
Conclusion:
- Either a bug in the Mail.app code or a faulty attachment can create a lock between threads, preventing then a normal functioning of the application... (sorry I did not kept the attachment)

It's not related to a third party app. I don't have any. The tech was able to pinpoint the folder in the Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes
He said they have had reports of this bug and he went directly there. So they must be aware of it.

My Mail.app had a Bug

Hello Apple,
my Mail has an Bug. It works with one Exchange-Mailbox... but it dosn't work with more Exchange-Mailboxes... It does not synchronize the mailboxes...
I work with my Mac's and it really is very very annoying, this problem...
I'm really upset, especially with Lion everything worked.
My MacBook Pro runs with OS X 10.8.2 (12C60) with Mail 6.2 (1499)

Have you tried removing the email account from the app through settings? I would try removing it, rebooting, opening the email app to see if it still crashes, & then adding it back your email account.
If you're leary about causing more issues while you're not home, you could always try using a third party mail app (there are many), accessing your email through it...not a fix for your problem but a way to deal with the situation until you can get it worked out.
Resetting all settings on the iPad (not deleting content) is a good way to clear many errors as it can remove leftover cache files & files that have become corrupt.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck & let us know if you get it working.
