but now mail is full of bugs. my intiligent folders are not working anymore and the search function doesn´t work either. all of them worked finde on my old macbook early 2011.

    Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple?  I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

    Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
    BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

  • Where is the option "Store only headlines" in Mail.app on Mavericks?

    Where is the option "Store only headlines" in Mail.app on Mavericks? I used to store all messages on gmail servers. Mail.app on Mountain Lion has feature to load only headlines of e-mails from Gmail. Now It's gone and with new OS Mavericks, I've got 10Gb of mail on my Mac locally.

    This problem is slowly killing my machine! I 'upgraded' to a better spec machine so I could synch my phone would you believe it. I couldn't synch my phone and my laptop with a cable, that was fankly incredible.
    Now I have a new machine and first thing I did was install mavericks, and now mac mail spends all it's time dowloading mail from may mail accounts. I have 4 imap gmail accounts set up and mail is using 56GB on my local disc to store them.
    There use to be an option to limit the disc storage I think 5GB would be quite enough to hald the last few months email locally. Question is how do I set that limit in mavericks. Is there some plist I can edit or something.
    Looking at the activity window it seems to spend A LOT of time
    "updating cache directory"
    I don't think I even have 56GB staore on the server, so how is it possible that I have more on the local copy?

  • Multiple mailboxes when using mail.app with google in IMAP.

    Hello,
    I have just started using mail.app with IMAP and my google mail account appears to be in two place. The mail.app has the following interface in the left pane.
    MAILBOXES, REMINDERS, RSS and GMAIL all in grey. Below the MAILBOXES i have got the following folders, inbox, sent and trash and below the GMAIL, i have got a replication of the structure in my google account.
    which set of folders should i be using?
    when i deleet the mail in the MAILBOXES it does not seem to delete it in All Mail folder under GMAIL.
    IS the synchronisation between the mails in the mail.app and the google server on a periodic basis. can i force the synchronisation?

    Mail works fine with Exchange 2003. This is how our accounts are configured:
    Incoming Mail Server:your exchange server.domain.com.au
    eg. server2.bunnings.com.au
    Username: domain\User alias\Full username
    eg. bunnings\bobs\bob.smith
    SMTP: smtp.bunnings.com.au
    Web Access Server: webmail.bunnings.com.au
    You can then setup the LDAP options under the composing tab to get the email list from your Exchange server.
    And no i do not work for Bunnings!
    Good Luck!

  • Mail.app with gmail setup question

    hello,
    i have a large gmail account i have been using with mail.app for a long time and all works normally. however the "gmail style" is getting a bit out of control for me with the duplicates in sent/all mail. my processing is simple, after reading an email i archive it (so my inbox is always clean) so it means i move it to all mail. but since sent messages are also in all mail i'm pretty sure mail.app is storing these messages twice and whenever you search for messages you always have to filter through the duplicates. I think there are some newer ways to sync mail.app with gmail and i just wanted to ask what's the best solution to this common issue?
    thank you,
    rick

    thanks for the reply. yes that is what i do sorry if i wasn't clear enough. actually the messages coming in are not duplicated since once i move them to All Mail there is only one copy there in All Mail. it's the sent messages since they are saved once in Sent and once in All Mail. does that make sense and how do other deal with this?
    thanks again,
    rick

  • Configuring mail account in Mail App with restriction account on

    Hi there,
    How is possible to create an account in Mail App with the restriction Accounts enable?
    I explain myself. I configure all the iPads of my business with the restrictions enabled and select "Don´t Allow Changes" on the Accounts tab.
    Settings > General > Restrictions> ( Enter Passcode ) >Enable Restrictions> Accounts > Don´t Allow Changes
    It suppouses to prevent any change or create an account on Mail App, but I´ve found a couple of iPads with a Yahoo and GMail account configured in the Mail App while the restrictions still enabled.
    Of course, users doesn´t know the Passcode and any of the general setting where modified.
    Is there any other way ( via web perhaps, no high tech at all ) to configure an account in a restricted iPad?
    I´m using iPad 2 ( iOS 5.0.1 )
    I can´t figure out how, and it´s driving me crazy.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks gyrhead for the answer.
    I do have Installing and Deleting Apps turned on so users can´t install or delete anything.
    Guessing a four digits passcode in 10 attemps is very dificult, I discard that option.
    There is somehow to add a Yahoo o Gmail account with account Restictions Enable.
    Safari has no restriction indeed, except "private brownsing", so it might come from that way, but I can´t figured out how you might configure a Gmail o Yahoo account straight to the Mail App using just Safari...

  • Remove attachments from mail app with imap account

    Hi Folks,
    I am quite frustrated. I am using Apple's mail app with Gmail (IMAP) and I want to remove all of my attachments from Gmail. I am using the 'remove attachment' feature of mail app to do this. However, it removes the attachment, then uploads a copy of the original email without the attachment. Therefore, I end up with two emails: The original and a copy without an attachment.
    I don't get it. I just want to remove the attachments from my emails. I don't want to delete the original email.
    Any thoughts?

    I am not sure when I will get the chance to test this -- maybe this afternoon. But I had not understood that what you called original continued to have the attachments. If so, this strongly suggests to me that it indeed may be the way Gmail maintains the All Mail folder that is causing this. See:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6581
    If there is a setting to help this, it will have to be one that is selected in the Settings webpage of Gmail, I suspect.

    Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line.  Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it.  It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

  • Mail.app with mountain lion

    Is somebody else having trouble with mail.app with mountain lion? I upgraded today and I got the Message:
    "Mail Stores Information in /mypathformail/  If this folder is in your computer, use the Get Info window and change permissions for folder to Read&Write"
    I already checked and it is like that.
    Ideas?
    TIA

    I know about the "get mail" button. This is what I am getting (the [!] icons next to each of the mailboxes)

  • What is it with Mail app on Mavericks 10.9.2?

    This has been an ongoing frustration since I updated to Mavericks, I had no idea it had any relationship with this upgrade until I started reading. First, I read that the issue was being originated when having a Gmail address on Mail, I followed some steps (they didn't make much sense to me, but I did it anyways), where I had to delete all accounts and the follow step by step, I had to add my Gmail account first, then the rest. Problem persisted, I deleted my Gmail for good from my Mail app. For about 2-3 days my iCloud/me account worked with no apparent issues, until, of course when I have the most work to do, ALL my emails stay in Outbox and no matter how many times I ask the system to bring all accounts online, perform all diagnostics, follow any number of forum directions, my account won't work. I have opted for online webmail instead but all my emails on my Outbox are still there, there's no way I can transfer them to my drafts folder so that I can send them out through webmail. Whenever I try doing this then my emails disappear and all my hours of work with them.
    It's been an ongoing problem for at least 3-4 months now with good periods of 2-3 weeks with no apparent problems.
    I need help I can't work and I also don't like the webmail app, it doesn't allow me to multitask as I usually do on Mail.
    Anyone????

    Try one of these options. They both give you a clean start with Mail.
    1) Create a new User. Enter your gmail  account and test. If it works in the new User you know the problem exists in your current User.
    or
    2) You can do this in your current user and it will also nuke all Mail settings.
    1)  Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.) Do steps a,b,c
    a) Scroll to Mail folder.
    Rename Mail OLD. [When you open Mail it will create a new Mail folder. You can revert to this folder if needed by removing OLD from the name. You would need to rename the "new" Mail folder first.]
    b)  Go to Containers in the User's Library folder.
    Delete the com.apple.mail folder.
    c)  Go to Preferences in the User's Library folder.
    If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
    2) Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar. Log in.
    3) System Preferences > Internet Accounts > Delete all accounts.
    4) Open Mail.
    5) Enter one account at a time. Test to be sure you are connected before adding other accounts.
    If you have Gmail, be sure you have the All Mail folder selected to sync. Workarounds we previously used no longer work in Mavericks. You might need to go into your Gmail Settings in your browser to make the necessary changes. See this article for help:

  • Outlook Mail is Malfunctioning in Mail App, Running Mavericks

    I downloaded Mavericks back in June, and I haven't had any problems with my Outlook mail in the Mail App until the past couple of days.
    Some of the problems I'm having include:
              - Duplicate emails in my "Sent" mailbox
              - Emails will completely disappear if I tried to move them to another folder (not in "Trash", "Junk, or any other folder, just completely gone)
              - Mail is very slow when I try to send it- sits in "Outbox" forever
              - Mail App has to frequently re-download my emails
              - Emails are slow to load in Inbox
    Things I've tried:
              - Rebuilding the mailbox several times
              - Deleting and re-adding the account back.
              - Checked for software updates
    Anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have a look, "Internet Accounts" has got the same icon as "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".
    "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" has been renamed to "Internet Accounts", so open it. Everything else in this pane is the same as in Mountain Lion or Lion

  • Mail.app with Exchange - all folders will not sync - is there a fix or is this a defect

    I am tryinf to switch from Outlook to Mail - running Mavericks and new 7.0 mail app.  Inbox appears to have synced but other folders within inbox are empty and have tried to rebuild several times.  Thoughts?  I do have a lot of messages.

    Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
    See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
    You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

  • Mavericks full of bugs

    I have just restored my iMac (early 2009) to Mountain Lion after trying Mavericks. The Mavericks installation went without any problems, as have all the upgrade installations that I have ever done going back to 2001. And every upgrade has presented no serious problems. Until now with Mavericks.
    My iMac seems to be running well. Disk Utility disc verification was without any issues. I do not have any strange third party apps installed. They all come from the App Store.
    Nevertheless, Mavericks has been one problem after another. For instance, both my updated Aperture and iPhoto have needed to be force quit and then they refuse to open anymore. I wanted to restart my iMac to solve this problem, but the restart hanged in the grey screen and I had to force quit my iMac with the power button.
    The Finder screen has frozen, spotlight has failed to find a file I know I have, system preferences has frozen, as well as Safari. It all seems to happen only with Apple apps. And each time I try to restart I have to press the power button to force a shutdown to do so.
    I have no idea why Mavericks is doing this. I am back now in Mountain Lion and everything works perfectly!

    I have exactly the same issues, the inability to shut-down properly is incredibly annoying, and overall there seem to be more bugs.
    Windows constantly freeze, with inconsistencies such as app icons staying in the dock after being force-quit. Window focusing is also broken, with focus not being applied to the window I click until I click around like a mad-man for 10 seconds.
    But to top it off, I keep getting frozen out of the system, I'll be working away and then everything freezes apart from my mouse and music from iTunes, leaving no alternative but forcing a restart.
    All of these things led me to believe it's a HDD issue, but considering I had it replaced 6 months ago by Apple, it has to be Mavericks.
    I'd happily pay Apple for an upgrade if it meant better quality-control!

  • FIXING SYNC PROBLEM MAIL APP IN MAVERICKS

    After a few frustrating months with Apple's Mail app not working/syncing with Gmail and following the discussion boards, I have done some digging around and experimenting. It seems the issue is related to the Mavericks' iCloud Keychain and how it interacts with Apple Mail, across various OS X devices. You can follow the discussion I was part of here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24539602?ac_cid=tw123456#24539602
    But below is the process I recommend. (Before engaging in this process, be sure you have taken care of any incompatible software issues. Flip4Mac is a known culprit.) My Apple Mail app is now syncing properly in Mavericks on all three machines running OS X Mavericks.
    0:  Close the Mail app and probably all other apps that are running.
    1:  Turn off Keychain under iCloud Account in SysPref’s Internet Accounts. Ok to keep passwords on your computer.
    2:  Delete the iCloud Account
    3:  Delete all other Internet Accounts
    4:  Goto the ~/Library folder, find Mail Folder & Trash it and empty trash (may require a restart to complete).
    5:  Open Mail and when asked, add the first IMAP Account back in and let it sync.
    6:  Manually add all other mail accounts through Apple Mail Preferences. Let them sync before adding the next one.
    7:  Add iCloud account last but do NOT turn Keychain on. Leave it off.
    Turning Keychain off means Apple Mail is running more similarly to its pre-Mavericks version when it comes to settings on internet accounts. I did this for all of my computers and so far none of them have gone awry.
    Note that one user suggests this before step 4 above:
    If you're in the habit of saving a lot of emails locally within Mail and deleting them from your IMAP account, be sure to save those mailboxes before trashing ~/library/Mail. You can then reimport them later.
    Try it. It has worked wonderfuly.

    Watching this thread.
    Same thing happened.  I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard
    on an mid-2010 MBP and now the Mailbox column disappears every
    time I restart Mac Mail.
    Thanks!
