Mail.app : "Reply with quote" and clippings erratic (10.5.3)

Two big troubles in Mail.app since upgrading to 10.5.3 (with the Combo Update) :
- The "reply with quote" functionality works in an erratic way : when I highlight the text to be quoted in the "preview" pane, and click "reply", most of the time, nothing is quoted. Yesterday, i even had the problem that _nothing happened at all_, so I had to quit Mail ... and then found out that the "replies with quotes" were open ... and addressed to me !
- Second, I drag'n'dropped some text from a mail message to the desktop. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. The times it worked, then, I could single-click it with the mouse : everytime I tried to do so, the clipping exchanged position with another file from the desktop ... which was then selected. a lasso capture allowed me to take the offending clipping and to trash it.
Did anyone see this kind of strange behavior too ?

Office 2013, Mail app error with W8.1

Hi,
Was recommended to repost in here, hope someone can provide a solution.
New to this forum, have searched and not found anything in regards to my actual issue.
Problem,
When you install Office 2013 Home and Business onto Windows 8.1 either an upgrade to 8.1 or a fresh install, I've found the mail program in Control Panel won't open.
You can't call apon the program from RUN or CMD, you can't even call apon the Mail app from Program files\office 15\mlcfg.clp right click and select Open in Control Panel.
This issue has arisen with Windows 8.1.
scenario, New Dell OptiPlex 3020 & 9020, You Install Office 2013 Home & Business either OEM or the OEM Builder pack, before or after then run the Windows 8.1 upgrade from the Store, attempt to open the Mail app in Control Panel and the
Mail app ceases to respond.
Yet, you are able to open the Mail app before the upgrade.
I just did a fresh install for a customer of Windows 8.1 OEM on an ACER laptop, tested with OEM media and the OEM Builders Install package, 32x & 64x installs and both failed to open the Mail app in Control Panel.
Actually the first install I performed didn't install the Mail app icon in Control Panel at all.
The only way I've found to rectify this issue is to run a full repair from Programs in Control Panel, which takes a while to run.

Hi ATR80,
As this thread has been quiet for a while,I would like to know if the issue happend again after you solved the issue by running a full repair from Programs in Control Panel?
If the issue persists,please try the method as I mentioned above to see if it works.
Meanwhile,if you need further assistance, feel free to let me know. I will be more than happy to be of assistance.
If the suggestion is helpful, please remember to mark it as answer which can benefit others who may encounter the similar issue as yours.
If you have any concern about this behavior, you can just unpropose it.

[E2013] [MailApps] [JS] [Windows]: window.open from a mail app fails in Chrome and Firefox but works in IE

I develop an Office Mail App which is used in Exchange 2013 On-Premises in my test lab. The mail app is hosted on IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012 R2) in the same LAN and ActiveDirectory domain.
Opening popup windows from the mail app does only work in IE, not in Chrome and Firefox.
Here are the details:
The following server and domain names are changed to hide our internal names. I adjusted the error messages accordingly.
Exchange 2013 is available at https://e13.some.dom/owa...
The app content comes from https://server.some.dom/...
Both the app and exchange server have valid SSL certicates.
Both server URLs are listed in the popup exception lists of the browsers I use.
The app generates html with an element which uses onclick to open another item in the same mailbox in a new browser window. Like so:
<a onclick="window.open('https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400');">click me</a>
Clicking that link in Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.17105; Update Versions: 11.0.7) opens a new browser window and shows the message specified with "SomeValidID". All good.
When I use Chrome (Version 34.0.1847.131 m) the popup browser window opens. I see some progress text "Starting..." and "Almost there..." and then this error:
something went wrong
Sorry, we can't get that information right now. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

In Firefox I see the popOutManager-access with "permission denied", but the popup window itself was already opened.
Seems like the opened popup window tries to open another window?
When I open up a new browser window in Chrome or Firefox manually and paste the URL (https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID) manually in the address bar the message is shown correctly, so the URL itself does not seem to be
the problem.
Double clicking on messages in Chrome and Firefox opens those messages in new windows as well. So it does not seem to be a general popup problem in Chrome and Firefox as well.
Any ideas how I get the popups from my mail app working in Chrome and Firefox as well?

Running Mail.app give spinning ball and freezes computer

My wife and I have different accounts on an iMac (2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) running 10.7.4. Her Mail.app has recently stopped working. When she launches Mail.app, the computer freezes and she sees the spinning ball. On my side of the computer, the Mail.app is still working. Any suggestions on how I can get her Mail program running again?
Thank you.

Donald and others:
This problem has been ongoing for about a week now. During that time, my wife has logged in and out of her account several times, and I’ve rebooted the iMac several times. I've also run fsck, repaired disk permissions, and rebuilt the directory with Diskwarrior. But Mail.app still isn't working.
I don’t know how it’s done nowadays, but there used to be plist files that stored preferences for particular apps. Every now and then one of those files would become corrupted, and when that happened, the performance of the app would be negatively affected. At times,the problem could be solved simply by deleted the right preference files. I bring up this subject because, at lease in some crude sense, Mail.app is behaving as if it had a corrupted plist file.
Anyway, if someone would tell me what steps I should go through to attempt to solve this problem, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Mail app strange behavior, default and all mailboxes not accessible

hello community! i have had this problem from months now and maybe years...a couple of days ago i bought my 5S and i thought that this should have pushed me to fix this and not just work around it...
so here's the deal MAIL APP, iPhone 5S 7.0.3
i have mail app setup with 5 gmail accounts, which receive and send email just fine, the problem comes when i need to check emails...here's what happens.
i open the mail app
SOMETIMES i see on the bottom "downloading 250 email" (50 last emails for 5 accounts).
IF im fast enough...i would be able to enter in my default account or "all mailboxes", if i wait like a couple of seconds, boom! all mailboxes and default account become unaccessibe (GREY, like in the screenshot)...and they stay like this
when i manage to access the "all mailboxes", i see a bunch of NO SENDER emails that appear and disappear after a few seconds, all dated 1.1.01 and the email conversations with more than 1 email, i would be able to tap it, it would get evidenced but it wouldn't open the email conversation, this happens sometimes, sometimes it opens...
i have tried searching this issue, but nothing seemed as this, only found some random use with the no sender or duplicate emails, not my case...no sender emails appear and go away in manner of 2 seconds.
workoround: Gmail app works just fine, but i would love to use the native mail app
screenshot attached, i hope someone can help here. I ave covered the rest of the email accounts, but i assure you that they are black and not grey like the top ones.

and so again happened, was sending an email from my default account and boom!!
however, the email was sent, then this happened. this time the emails are from the 70's, probably someone that decided to pull my leg seein me in the future...lol

The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Mail app freezes in white and quits in 5 seconds iphone6 Plus

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.

Gmail syncs erratically, slowly with Mail App even with Mavericks 10.9.2 update--whats wrong?

Mail on my MAC is always behind what I see on my iPhone or iPad mail. The iOS devices sync fast and accurately with Gmail: delete an email and I see it disappear on any iOS device I have. But it still shows up in the OS Mail program for a long time--often until I manually request several "syncs" to be made then it finally updates and disappears.
Same issue for new mail: instantly shows up on the iPad and iPhone iOS Mail but seems delayed (takes 15-20 minutes or longer sometimes or I must manually request a sync).
This does not happen all the time--occasionally it seems to sync up well. But MOST OF THE TIME it does not.
It seems the OS Mail is slow to sync and requires prodding before it does so.
Why can't the OS Mail app work as fast, accurately and automatically like it does on iOS Mail?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Mike

Safari and Mail.app crash with SIGSEGV after Monolingual / upgrade

In order to upgrade to snow leopard, I had to free a bunch of disk space. So, I foolishly ran Monolingual to remove unused languages. I don't recall exactly which I removed, but I do remember that I did not remove Japanese. I then upgraded to Snow Leopard, but now I have a Safari and a Mail.app that crash consistently with segmentation faults.
Mail.app crashes anytime I attempt to view a message with Japanese characters in it. I click the subject line, it tries to display it, and then crashes with a segmentation fault in Dispatch queue: com.apple.root.default-priority in the com.apple.datadetectorscore _FillNextTokenInCache method.
Safari crashes in HistoryTextCache caching from the method com.apple.SearchKit UniCharParserGetNextWord after a few pages (5m) of browsing. Doesn't seem to matter what pages I'm viewing. Although I can force it to crash just after successfully rendering a page with japanese characters by visiting such a page.
They repeatably crash the same way. Is there any way to fix this without having to reinstall the OS?

I'm still having this problem. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
eric

Upgraded to Yosemite and Mail app crashes with Verizon email account

I just upgraded to Yosemite and now my Mail app will not start. It errors on my Verizon email account. When going to System preferences it will not allow access to the account set up process, it crashes as well.

All Mail.app messages (POP) gone and window will not open in new LION

I have upgraded to Lion but now all my email messages seem to have disappeared. I have tried installing Postbox and using that. It works fine but Postbox cannot seem to locate my old email messages either.
I'd prefer to use the Mail.app but cannot right now. Any clues as to what might be causing this?
Thanks!!

You’re welcome.
Look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.

Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Mail.app using multiple identities and outgoing servers, how to map them?

Hi all,
I am using mail account and my main account (gmail) is defined as IMAP on it.
In my gmail settings, all my other mails are forwarded to this e-mail account so I don't need to define my other mails to get those mails (since I get them from my mail account).
When sending an e-mail or replying, I want to use the same identity that the mail was sent to and the same outgoing mail server.
For now, I successfully defined my different identities in my main account (i.e., I added them in the e-mail address field with comma separated values), and I also managed to define different outgoing servers (from account -> outgoing servers). However, my problem is that, I cannot link an identity to an outgoing server. They are all linked to my default mail's outgoing server by default and I have to manually select them every time I sent an e-mail. However what I want is the following:
Let's say that I have 2 identities: id1 and id2 and two outgoing server os1 and os2.
I want the mail.app to select os1 whenever I selected id1 and os2 whenever I select id2.
I want the mail.app to select os2 whenever it decides to use id2 (because the e-mail was sent to id2) and the same for the other os-id pair.
Is this possible? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, and do ask if you need more information.
Regards,

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

Mail.app - wrestling with the basic paradigm!

I'm migrating from Outlook Express (which I've run very successfully in Classic for years!) but in an effort to do away with the whole Classic installation, I'm having a look around Mail.app
Basic frustration at the moment is the fundamental manner in which Mail seems to handle (and display) multiple accounts. I have several IMAP accounts, and with OE, these were entirely separate entities (with separate Inbox, Drafts, Sent etc) and each functioned entirely independently. This was good!
Now with Mail.app it seems that the default paradigm is to have a consolidated Inbox (with sub-Inboxes representing each account) and the same for Sent mail, etc. Now, each account is no longer 'entirely separate', but there are folders from each separate account grouped together, and away from the rest of the account's folders. I find this very irritating and messy, and wonder if there is a way to change this. I have looked but cannot see one.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I didn't mention it but, I've spent a few days playing (grappling) with TB too, and have put it to one side for now, to have a closer look at Mail. I've not tried Eudora, ever.
I first looked at TB about 18 months ago, and decided I couldn't live with it's insistence on sorting by date sent as opposed to date received at the server. I've since found that that can now be rectified with a couple of 'config editor' changes, and indeed it worked for me. But there are other irritations...
For example, I dislike the fact that when replying to a group email full of 'To' addresses (as in a wide conversation), only the original sender was entered as 'To' whilst the other recipients were entered as 'CC'. Now, Mail.app does this too, but in that case, I can copy/paste (read: drag) all the 'CC' addresses into the 'To' field, in one hit. With TB, I can only appear to manage this by changing each entry from 'CC' to 'To', individually. How annoying!
I'm beginning to feel that OE was underrated as an IMAP client!

Mail.app too many Ins and no outs

My Mail.app has never been innocent of odd lapses here and there. As a user with modest demands, I've ignored the less egregious problems. In recent days, my more egregious problems have escalated. My email client downloads messages from the POP server at its own convenience rather than mine, if indeed, it downloads anything at all. I use gmail as my one email account. My messages arrive and are retained in their entirety at the Gmail web site, but most never get downloaded by my Mail.app. My settings are on the money as illustrated by the fact that some messages are downloaded and are stored on my Mail.app In box. My ISP insists they are not a factor in this situation.
While searching for clues, I entered INBOX.mbox, on a whim, in Finder > File > Find and discovered I had five of them scattered around in my ~/Library. All had different numbers of messages (230-163-94-64-59). I have no idea what I did to fracture one In box into five dissimilar mailboxes. I am not nearly competent to know how to reassemble these five files into the original one.
It's been my experience that virtually every tweak and click I administer, unfailing makes matters worse. I need sage advice. I should add that Mail > Mailbox > Rebuild has had zero effect — nothing happened at all.

I'm afraid you're going to have a cow when you read this. After I said I wouldn't do any more stupid things, I did another stupid thing. I read in Gmail help somewhere to be sure I enabled POP, and to click save. What I was reading stated I should Enable POP for all mail (even that's been downloaded).
That was a big mistake, I got 723 messages.
I have another revelation to make that will give you a worse fit. I temporarily moved five folders to Trash from ~/Library > Mail because I thought they might be duplicates. Now I don't know if they're duplicates or not — I've included them here:

I'll understand if you want to wash your hands of this and bid me goodbye. I think a lot of my problem arises when my machine automatically makes duplicates without advising me of this.
