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.

Sending mail from mail.app using multiple email addresses?

I'm familiar with the strategy of going into the account settings and putting in another email separated by a comma. That works great and i've had much success doing that. The problem is when I compose a NEW message, it defaults to my...well...default email address. But when I reply to a previous message it gives me the option of picking and it works. When I compose a new email it also gives me the option of picking but it always defaults back to the original one. There is a setting in the compose section of the preferences that lets you pick what email you want it defaulting to. The problem here is that the dropdown box that lets me select my email only works when i'm replying, not composing. Which is a big problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Could you confirm what you mean by true alias? I'm not familiar with that you mean. Currently (to recap) i have multiple accounts linked to my gmail account (all gmail accounts) and i have it set up so i can pick the email address i want to use to send an email online in gmail. After setting up IMAP (not POP) i put in "[email protected], [email protected]" in the account settings which gives me the drop down box and allows me to select which email address i want to sent messages from within mail.app. Now i've sent multiple messages to friends to test this, and here are my results. When responding to an email if i select either of the drop down options it will send from that selected address. When composing an e-mail, even if i pick the options, it will default to my first e-mail address.
It just won't let me pick the one i want to send from when i'm composing a new message, but it will let me choose when i reply to an email. sort of a strange occurrence. I know there is an option under "compose" in the preferences that let me choose the DEFAULT e-mail, but i'm assuming that just picks the first e-mail to show up in the drop down. I'm just not sure why it only works when replying, not replying AND composing.

Mail.app using 80% CPU and won't quit - any ideas?

Hi, I'll try and cut a short story shorter...
I tried to begin using Mail.app last night instead of Entourage and Thunderbird just to see what it was like. Having never used mail.app before, I use the bundled import wizard to retrieve the settings from the Entourage account (POP, wifes ISP account) which seemed to work ok. I didn't test at this point as I have another account (POP again, my gMail) stored on Thunderbird which I also wanted to import.
To import the mailboxs from Thunderbird I copied the relevant folders from the ~\Library...\myprofile\... folder to the desktop and added the .mbox extension. Then used the import wizard 'other' option to bring them in.
All seemed to go ok. I recreated my 'other' account manually and sent/received some test mails etc. then marked everyting in all mailboxes as read.
At this point the laptop went very slow so I checked Activity Viewer - this showed Mail.app hovering between 70% - 80%. I thought this was a bit odd so I tried to Quit Mail, but it just hung. I then force quit and the CPU calms down.
I opened Mail again and it was ok for about 3 minutes until I try to view various mailboxes. Mail is still responsive but the mailboxes are empty! I use the rebuild function and they show the messages again, unless I look at a different one and then go back to the rebuilt mailbox - it's empty again.
Then the CPU/won't quit happened again. CPU is up at the same levels, Mail.app has 7 threads. I thought there may be some indexing going on so I went to bed. I got up this morning to find the G4 fans going crazy and CPU still consuming the CPU?
Any ideas?
I'm thinking I may trash both accounts and rebuild from scratch tonight.

Hi Ian.
Aside from whatever the problem is here (which I don't really know), you shouldn't add an .mbox extension to mbox files in order to import them into Mail. Mail uses that extension for something else. Also, you'd get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion.

What determines my identity when I visit a web site? How can I change or use multiple identities?

Often, when I visit an internet site, the site identifies me automatically, without my having specifically provided an identity. The identity seems to partially correspond with one of my email addresses. How can I use multiple identities and change identities?

On my iPad home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new emails I had with a number in a red circle. This has vanished since I upgraded. Does anyone know why, and how to restore this?

On my IPad 2 home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new messages with a number in a red circle, next to the app. This has vanished, I think about the same time as when I upgraded to the new OS. Does anyone know why and how to restore this feature?

Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

Sending GMAIL from Mail.app generates multiple items in Trash

I just recently began using Mail.app for my Gmail and I’ve got a problem. I noticed that when I draft a short Gmail and send it out, I get multiple copies of the e-mail in Trash. But each copy there contains only a few words from the original. For example, the first copy may contain only the first three words of the original. Subsequent copies in Trash display the remainder of the original. I sent out a 20 word e-mail and it was broken down into 10 different entries in Trash. Anyone else have the same problem?

jackgm,
I have to Gmail accounts; a free account, and a university Google Apps (.edu) account. Both accounts behave exactly the same on three different Macs.
The bottom line is it's a pretty well known issue with Apple Mail and Gmail. The easiest solution is to turn off "Save Drafts on Server".
It's a minor annoyance but hardly a major issue. For a long while, if you mapped Sent in Mail.app to the Sent Items folder in Gmail, you'd get duplicate copies of all your sent e-mails--Apple has since fixed this (thankfully).

[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?

Does Mail.app support multiple mail profiles similar to Outlook?

My wife an I use one user account for our iMac. We are new to Apple as a whole. Though I am loving every minute of it, I don't want to be cornered. She and I find it a pain to have two user accounts when all we do is surf the internet and use iTunes. So, while logged on to a single user account, is it possible for I to open Mail.app that has my gmail, work, etc. and her to open Mail.app with her yahoo and the like? I want to use Mail.app if I can, I like the simplicity of it and hopefully fully integrated with my iPad and our upcoming iPhones.
Thanks and hopefully this hasn't been posted before (though I'm sure it has). I found a few things on the net close to what I was looking for, but the posts just dropped off before I could get my answer. . . go figure.
Thanks everyone,

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.

You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

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

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.

Garbled messages in Mail.app (using Gmail IMAP)

Several of my archived messages in Gmail are displaying with garbled headers in Mail.app, which is configured to access my Gmail account via IMAP. Here's what the headers look like:
------=NextPart_000_001601CA70CE.4D0AAE80
+Content-Type: text/plain;+
charset="us-ascii"
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit+

Note that the message displays perfectly in Gmail on the web.

Yesterday I tried to move all my messages from Gmail to MobileMe to work around this. I created a new label "Archive" in Gmail web and marked all my mail in "All Mail" with this label so they would show up in IMAP. In Mail.app I disabled "Move messages to Trash" to avoid having them deleted.
Unfortunately I could not move my messages, around 1 out of 50 had the problem described above, so MobileMe did not allow me to upload them because of the missing headers. These were old messages, never opened by Mail.app earlier, and it was true that they missed some headers: they were exported from Outlook and Opera Mail years ago. But still they had all the header fields a mailer would display (To, From, Cc, Subject). Anyway the fact Mail.app cannot display these properly is perhaps acceptable in this case.
However the problem being unable to display certain recently received, archived messages on my Gmail account still applies. Those messages were not modified in any way, only Gmail and Mail.app were used to access them.
Needless to say, the old messages mentioned above that went through Outlook and Opera Mail look OK both on the web and in Thunderbird, too. At least I knew that I realized early that I could not move all messages this way to MobileMe. I am going to try moving my messages again with Thunderbird now.

When formatting your column to date/time, pick Date & time, and then pick the letter i in the circle to the right. Then scroll down and pick "No time"
