Mail app flag problem

My problem is that the "Flagged" mailbox contains emails that are not flagged. Maybe there were earlier but not anymore. I already tried to flag and unflag them again and to rebuild index but it doesn't fixed the problem.

I am also having the same issue...
Have you heard any fix to this other than the workarounds on the other page?

Mac Mail.app download problems

Hello,
I think I have tried everything. I am currently trying to do the simplest tax ever. I want my mail downloads to go to my downloads folder that I see in my downloads folders, the same folder safari does fine downloading too. However when I click to download something in my mail like a photo or pdf. It pops up my "Mail Downloads finder" so I went into the mail preferences and changed it to a different folder. However, it changed nothing. It sill downloads to the same folder hidden away in a library.
Not sure what to do, about to go to the apple store and ask them whats up.
Anyone have any other advice for me.

I think I've figured this out. I still have to "sneak up" on my .MAC prefs... but they seem to be working now. In addition, I deleted the Mail.app plist files, which solved my Mail problem.

Mail.app forward problem

Hello,
i am experiencing a problem with mail.app
I have installed two email pop account which are working normally.
The problem is that. When trying to forward messages with ppictures or attachments (normal size) the messages stuck in outbox, the activity panel shows "done 100%" constantly but the messages is not being send. After a while you an option window to select other smtp server but the problem remains the same. If you try to send any message by "new mail" option then message is being send normally.
This is weird and annoying and i can not resolve it.
System has all the latest updates (10.6.2) and is a brand new iMac.
Please kindly advice.
Thank you for your attention.

Should i backup anything??
If you have a backup, use it first. Otherwise the answer is that you should always have a backup
All you might lose is your account server/logins, any personal settings for the tool bar, color settings etc. It won't affect your messages. I've had to do this before and it's a typical method because the plist is the expected casualty point when something like this happens. The next time you run MAIL it will build a fresh plist and then you can make any specific changes that are needed. In terms of troubleshooting, it is one of the more risk free methods around.
If you want to be safe, simply move that file to the desktop long enough to test.
• If it doesn't help or if you think it makes something worse, trash the temporary replacement and then put the original back.
• If it fixes the issue, then you can trash it.
If you are at all reluctant, don't do it.

Mail app attachment problem

Having a problem When I'm sending a mail whit a picture for example, from the native mail app from my Xperia Z1 The mail is sending normally and under sent mail appears normally whit the attachment but when I go to Yahoo mail site from my browser the mail is there, it has the attachment paperclip but no attachment. Also the same thing on Opera mail from desktop.
The curious thing is that the attachment is send to the sender normally but I can't see it in my sent folder.
Is anyone tried this whit the stock mail client? I think it may be some kind of format issue when the app is composing the chunk of information regarding the attachments...
Z1 4.4.2 14.3.A.0.757

I retested the Mail app after I installed android lollipop and the issue is still there. The mail is send normaly with attachments to the receiver but i cannot see the attachments in my send folder from any mail client except the one on the phone despite the attachment icon is present on the sent mail. I analyze the mail header and i'm not an expert but the header seams to be incomplete for the messages sent from the xperia mail app, it's missing the part in which the attachment info should be.
Can someone forward this issue to the developers to reproduce please (full description of the problem in the first post) , i don't want to use other mail client, i'm happy wit this one.

Strange Mail.app/print problem

Trying to print from Mail.app v. 2.1.2(753) to a Brother laser printer (HL-2040), sometimes only the header is printed, other times the whole message is printed. If I select Preview in the print dialog then click on Print it prints OK. This is a fairly recent problem. I suspect it first happened after upgrading to 10.4.11, but am not sure. I have repaired permissions, zapped PRAM, reinstalled the printer driver, restarted the computer, all with no change to the problem. I have not found any way to determine which messages will print OK and which will not. Others have suggested using a script to go through the Preview step every time, but that doesn't really fix the problem. There is no problem printing to an HP OfficeJet 7130xi, but that is slower and uses up expensive ink.
TIA, Morris

after taking a look at it, I found out that changing the Mail --> Preferences --> Accounts --> Advanced --> Keep copies of messages for offline viewing setting to either "All messages, but omit attachments" or "Don't keep copies of any messages", then trashing my ~/Libary/Mail/IMAP-<insert name of account here> folder and restarting Mail to force it to resync against my IMAP server prevented the problem from occurring again
I tested this in both Mail.app 2.1.1 and 2.5.3 and it worked for both. Hopefully it will work for you IMAP users out there. I tried it in Mail.app 3.1 (Leopard) and couldn't reproduce the problem (naturally).
Good Luck-

Crashing Mail app and problems getting AOL mail

I've been struggling with 2 problems for a while now. First, MAIL just unexpectedly crashes and this is usually not while I'm actively using it. I'll come back to my MAC and see that mail has crashed and have to restart it.
Secondly, and more importantly, I seem to be receiving mail in my inbox inconsistently from my AOL email address. I have new AOL mail in my inbox but if I take my accounts offline and then immediately back online, and then search for new mail, I find a bunch of AOL mail that wasn't in my inbox before. Some of this can be from previous days. Older mail not just new mail that hasn't been received yet. Also, occasionally I will read an AOL message, will NOT delete it, and it will disappear from my inbox. If I follow the procedure above, the mail will sometimes reappear in my inbox as previously read mail.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Launch the Console 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent one and post the contents – again, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Mail.app problems with Exchange Server

Hi,
I've got a Mail.app 4.2 version and a company Exchange 2007 e-mail address account.
Recently, I've changed from Entourage for Mail.app since, we couldn't configure the new account to Entourage anymore. This is because we've changed Exchange Service Provider.
I've changed to Mail.app without problems a few months ago. But, recently, since 3 weeks ago, I receive my e-mails just fine, iCal and Address Book keep all sync. Everything is fine except when I delete an e-mail from my Exchange Account or even drag them to another folder, it doesn't work. It remains always at the Inbox Exchange Account.
I guess it started to do this after a software upgrade from Apple.
Anyone has a solution for this? I tried to rebuild the Mailbox and Delete and Create the account again, but doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
Hope this help someone with the same problem.

Mail app keep asking for hotmail password

Hi everyone,
I have two Hotmail,Gmail and other email service providers setup in my Mail app
the problem is only with the Hotmail accounts
The Mail program keep asking continuously - once in awhile - to type the password for the Hotmail email although the password is saved and it is there in the Keychain Access
I tried to create a new keychain in the Keychain Access and moved the passwords there ---> it didn't work after some days it asked me and then it's keep going.
right now when the mail asks for the password I close the program and then reopen it again after doing that It wont ask me for the password till some time - it happens daily -
I read that the problem is from Microsoft server but how it can be where is the iPhone mail works great without asking for Hotmail password
I also checked out Thunderbird app and guess what it worked , it didn't ask me for the Hotmail password !!!
I wonder if anyone managed to get it works fine
Thanks

I wonder why Thunderbird app is working without the issue that happens to the Mail program
do you think Thunderbird is working great since it's using its own Keychain or database to store the emails password where as the Mail app is using the Keychain Access that comes with the Mac OS X ?
I don't know. However Hotmail does have some weird non-standard access protocol. (Well, it's probably a standard, but I don't know any other mail provider using such a protocol.) It's probably just some tweak that Thunderbird and others have done to force Hotmail to work with their program, but I really don't have any idea. Other people tell me their apps work so it's just seems to be something between Hotmail and OSX Mail.
Other than OSX Mail, I mostly use Outlook on Windows and Mac. They do not tell us much either since those being Microsoft products like Hotmail, it would be embarrasing for Microsoft not to make their products work well together.

Mail app and .mac integration

I wonder if someone can help. I have previously often drafted email on my home power book using mail app and saved as drafts and then worked on them later when away from home through .mac. This worked perfectly with 10.3 but with 10.4 messages are completely jumbled with html tags.
I'm not the only person finding this problem please see (slightly angry) discussion below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1097134&#1097134
dot mac support state that it is an mail app support problem, which I now think is correct since testing with mozzila thunder bird works fine.
It seems a real shame that the tight integration between .mac mail and mail app is starting to slip. For clarification i'm composing in plain text in mail.app
Any help would be gratefully accepted, before i dump mail and jump over to thunderbird.
Chris

Hi Dave,
you should also ask in the specific .mac forums here.
Edited: Sorry, I see you already did it!

Importing Entourage 2008 mailboxes into Mail.app loses message flags

I'm in the process of migrating my data from Entourage 2008 to Mail, iCal and Address Book. The problem is that when I use Mail.app's built-in import from Entourage feature, the messages lose their flag status (read, unread, replied, forwarded, etc) in Mail.app. Does anyone know of a way to preserve this information? Cheers

Well there are some suggested solutions on here if you search for them. Hoever, I eventually worked around it by just importing a section of my old email at a time. A bit tedious, but it worked.

When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to time to follow up with that email ?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Mail app problems (duplicating email downloads)

in my Mail app, i am having a problem with receiving "duplicate" emails. i will get an email, and after in downloads to Mail, the "spinning circle" (next to the INBOX icon) keeps on spinning...then a duplicate of the email downloads. to stop the "spinning circle". i have to "force quit" Mail.
i have the option with Road Runner to get emails from their "WebMail" website. when i log-in, i see the email that is duplicating in Mail...plus other emails that has not been downloaded in my Mail application.
if i delete the "duplicating email" in RR Webmail, and launch Mail again, the "other emails" that i see in RR WebMail will download.
and if there are other new emails, the whole scenario will go over again in Mail.
i talked to a Road Runner technician and he tried to find a preference in the Mail app that will allow Mail to give a bit more time for Mail to download emails with larger attachments (2mb and up). he said that Mail is not giving enough time to download the larger emails, so it is "bottlenecking" the large email and other emails after that.
Just wondering if anyone knows about this problem, or if anyone knows if there is a preference in Mail to "extend" the download time for larger-sized emails......
thank you....

I am having this same problem. How did you solve it?

Iphone 4 battery sometimes drains fast -- problem with Mail app?

My iphone 4 battery often drains too quickly, and I wonder if it has something to do with my Mail App.
When my phone is not playing nice, it drains at least 20% overnight while on Standby, and from 100% to 30% in around 6 hours when I use it during the day. I found a fix (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11775150) that basically says to wipe your mail account and set it up again.
This fix works, but only temporarily for me. I find that I have to keep resetting my mail every few days to get back to "normal battery" where it barely drains overnight. I only use one email account (gmail) -- could there be something going on there?
Oh, and when my battery drains fast, nothing changes when I turn off WiFi, notifications, push, etc. I usually have my mail refresh hourly.
Has anyone had this experience?

Problem with rules in mail.app

I've just started having a problem with my rules in mail.app that I just don't understand. I have several rules that I've had working for quite a while now, over a year. All of a sudden beginning about a month ago, some of them -- different ones at different times -- stop working and the incoming mail goes into my main mail box and don't get distributed according to the rules to the appropriate mail boxes.
When I check the rules, all of which are basically the same: If any of the following conditions are met, From contains XXX, Perform the following actions: Move message to mailbox xxx, I see that mailbox XXX has changed from what it should be to some other mailbox name which is a valid name but not the one that I originally put in the rule.
To make it a bit more strange, the rule with the wrong mailbox name is not executed and the mail winds up in my main mailbox.
When I edit the rule and change the mailbox name and am asked whether I want to apply the rule and I respond yes, the rule executed and the mail that landed in the main mailbox gets distributed the way it should.
But then anywhere from a day to a week later the same thing happens, that is, the mailbox name in the rule somehow gets changed again.
Has anyone seen this behavior before and/or have any suggestions for fixing it?

Are you really on 10.8.1 as per your profile - maybe updating to 10.8.3 might help.
Have you tried rebuilding the mailbox? It sometimes helps sort out Mail problems:
