Mail: change subject of received email?

In Mail 4.5, is it possible to change the Subject line of received email in the Inbox?

Re: "feature requests should be addressed to Apple": That would probbbly be easier for benfrommo if Americans were even HALF as tolerant of foreigners struggling to express themselves in English as they are of Americans struggling to express themselves in their native language.
Re: This ongoing problem with Mail: Returning to the thread topic, the inability to edit the subject line of incoming e-mail is a complaint that has been frequently voiced in the Apple's "support" forums and other Mac-centric sites since Mail 1.0 was released in 2003.
I've been using Eudora since OS 7, way back when you actually had to buy it. I tried Mail when it first came out, but not being able to edit the subject line was a deal-breaker for me, so I went back to Eudora. (Apple's "version 1" software is frequently not ready for prime time. Keynote 1.x was horrible! When Keynote 2 came out, Apple should have sent a free update to all version 1 purchasers, along with an apology for making them put up with such merda [another Italian word]. But I digress...)
Yesterday I launched the latest version of Mail. You can imagine my surprise to discover that I could STILL not edit the subject line, as almost every other mail program allows. So here we are, 9 years and 4 major versions after Mail was first released (and the complaints began), and the problem has yet to be resolved. If Apple had the slightest inclination to address this "feature request," they would have done so by now.

Mail app crashes when receiving email from a particular sender

HI All,
Here is a problem I'm facing, Mail App crashes while receiving email from a particular sender. I'm testing our new Email Hosting solution "Rackspace" and it works fine with all other Email clients or on deveices (Android, Windows Phone & Blackbarry) but on Iphone 4s (IOS 6.1.4, i guess) it crashes the Mail App.
The email I'm using is sending over to an email at ttv-asia.com domain. The user of ttv-asia.com is based in China and just to see if the problem is with the Iphone, I've tested the Iphone's Mail App in Hong Kong and it works normal.
So now... Im confused and have no Idea on how ro fix this.

Sorted, it seems that livemail configured for exchange and having Google premier for exchange, results in the mail app on the iPhone crashing, when selecting an email in the Google exchange mail box, then calling up the folders , it crashes. switched off livemail mail, worked fine.
Weird.
Google vs Microsoft, with a little help from Apple ???????????

Change subject line of Email sent through "spool recipient functionality".

A batch job creates a spool, which is send through Email using spool recipient functionality. The subject line of the Email is as follows
"Job<job name>, Step <step no.>".
Is it possible to change the subject line of the Email?
Any pointers on this would be highly appreciated.

check the program name for job.
If the program is Custom program(starting with Z or Y) then you can easily change subject line of email.
If it is standard program then we have to look for alter path.

Mail 6.0 Not Receiving Email

Hi there,
I've been hounding my ISP, BigPond, for the past several weeks due to not being able to get Mail 6.0 to receive email (I should add, sends just fine). They've tried everything with no joy. Have also had Apple support on the phone... got them stumped too.
Tried alternative, i.e. gone with Gmail and experiencing exactly the same issue - email sending OK, receiving is just not going to work. Definitely something to do with Mac Mail.
Should I be taking my Mac back to the store or is there some OS tweak that someone can help me with?
I have followed the settings outlined on both the BigPond and Gmail web sites. Even tried the IMAP vs POP configurations. Any help appreciated.

Okay - I fixed it. Here's what I did.
- Deleted the entire mail folder inside my Preferences folder. ~/Library/<userfolder>
- Kept the files in the trash just in case, but didn't need them
- Rebooted
- Opened the System Preferences
- Selected "Mail, Contacts & Calendars"
- Verified the previous account was gone
- Clicked Create
- Created a new account and then opened Mail
- Voila! Email
Note - if you trash the mail folder inside Preferences, it will delete any local emails. All my email is IMAP and I never store anything locally, so everything syched right back when the account was recreated.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

One Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from .mac

OK, this is an odd problem, and any help would be appreciated.
My girlfriend's Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from my .mac address. If I send email from my Gmail or Yahoo! accounts she receives the message. No one else has informed me that they haven't received email from the .mac address. Additionally, the .mac account is in her address book.
Anyway, has anyone seen a similar pattern with Yahoo! or any other email provider?
Thanks.
- Jennings

Thanks for the reply . . . and yes, the recipient's email provider likely holds the answer.
However, I was hoping someone here might have had a similar experience and could answer as the email provider is Yahoo, and they are slow in responding to help requests . . . for a period I hosted a personal, paid website through Yahoo Domains and help tickets lingered for several days on multiple occasions (this being the reason the site is no longer hosted by Yahoo). I also doubt Yahoo will expend too much energy resolving a problem for a free email account.
Anyway, I posted in the Yahoo mail forums, and hopefully something will come-up . . . .

IMAP mail account is not receiving emails, but sending.

I set up an IMAP mail account 2 years ago and was working properly. But a week or so ago it stopped receiving emails, but it sends out emails. I reentered my password, deleted and recreated the account but nothing changes. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I received email at 9:30 am then again at 11:35 EST (I am in SouthEastern PA) Is your mailbox size anywhere near the limit?

Can't create new mail or reply to received emails

I haven't changed anything on mail but suddenly 2 weeks ago when I clicked on new(mail) - nothing happened and its the same with reply or reply all or forward. Eventually the "whirly thing" comes on and I have to force quit.
I can receive emails ok.
Please help.

Hi Stanley
I tried what you said regarding the disk permissions but its still the same. The thing is I can't actually create an email to send so I can't try the second option you suggested.
When I click on New Mail and nothing happens - the box doesn't even appear for me to start typing then eventually the whirly thing comes on and I have to force quit Mail. In the Force Quit Applications box it has Mail then in brackets Not responding.
My ISP is virgin and its Mac Mail and its a POP account.

Change subject on BIP Email

Hi all,
did anyone of you know how to change the subject of the Email which is send by BIP? The default is similar to "FW: EnterpriseOne Report Definition Output". I also want to know if it will be possible to add a note to the Email.
Many thanks
Bernd

Hi Bernd,
If you are using the EnterpriseOne embedded version of BI Publisher, then you can change the email subject and message body, but only at an instance level.
The text for both items is stored as glossary text for data dictionary error message items 951S (subject) and 951T (attachment text).
You need to make the data dictionary changes in the environment that is defined as the Default environment in the JDE.INI file and you should also stop and start services on the Enterprise server as the XML Publisher kernel job will need to be restarted to pick up the changes.
Regards,
David

Mail 4.5 problem receiving email (imap)

I am using mail 4.5 and all of a sudden have stopped receiving emails. my iPhone continues to receive but not my laptop. Connection Doctor shows all green. I can still send an email but it seems to take a while. I have a consistent spinning gear next to the mailbox that won't respond. Ideas?

Thanx for the direction... I missed that it was a menu item in Mail. The email account is "RED" and the following was the most recent detail posted:

Mail doesn't auto receive email

I just setup my mother-in-law's new iMac's email. It is setup to use imap and everything seems to working correctly. However, it will only receive email once Mail is closed (Quit) and reopened. It will not automatically receive email while it is open.
I have tried setting up the pop version of the email but it also does the same thing.
Anyone out there with any suggestions?

Thank you for your...reply.
I've tried that, thus the reason of asking why it isn't working. I've also tried the manual "Get Mail" button. The only way that mail is recieved, is if Mail is Quit/closed and then reopened. Once reopened, all test emails start flooding in. Sending mail isn't an issue.

Change subject of notification email

Hi experts,
I want to change the subject of notofication emails. Unfortunatelly there is no entry in the xml templates. I guess it is hardcoded in any jar. Does anyone know the jar which contains the java class / or jsp which I need to change ?
Regards
Flo

Hi,
seems to me "nearly" impossible (everything can be done):
I have found in NotificationService implementation sending of the notifications:
for(; recipientIterator.hasNext(); doSend(recipient, channel, notification.getDescription(recipient.getLocale()), from, notification.getContent(recipient, channel, m_Properties)))
what makes me think, that the subject is:
notification.getDescription(recipient.getLocale())
Now for the standard subscription this notification is used com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.subscription.wcm.SubscriptionNotification, where the getDescription method does:
return super.getDescription(locale, m_Subscription.getName());
super is AbstractNotification:
return m_Res.getString("Notification." + m_ID, locale, obj1);
m_Res is ResourceBundle used I have written before.
So you can see, that the name of the subscription is given as object to the resourceBundle - if you could change the implementation of the getDescription of the com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.subscription.wcm.SubscriptionNotification to something like this:
return super.getDescription(locale, resource.getDisplayName(true));
you would have the name of the resource in the subject line of the email.
But this seems to me a bit hardcore solution.

Change "subject" in Receiver Mail Adapter Module

Hi all,
following the "How To Guide" I developed a Module for my receiver mail adapter. Everything works fine.
Now my question: is it possible to change the content of the mail-"subject" in the module?
Your help is appreciated.
Carmen

Hi Stefan,
maybe I should describe my problem more detailed:
My scenario is RFC-XI-Mail. I use the mail package to determine the receiver of the mail dynamically. Another thing I want to do, is to attach a file to this mail which is located on the server. So far so good.
My problem is, that the name of the file (which I need in my adapter module) changes for every mail. So what I need is the possibility to deliver it to the adapter module.
I found out that it is possible to read the payload. So my idea was to hand it over in one of the fields like "subject". But now I want to change the subject afterwards...(delete the filename).
Maybe you have another idea?
Regards
Carmen

TS3276 Mac Mail on Lion stopped receiving emails on 1 of 3 accounts, but not showing any errors. I can still receive on iPad

I have 3 POP accounts set up on my MacBook Pro all witht eh same provider. No problem sending email. Then the main account suddenly does not receive any email. No error messages and I only worked this out when no emails ther ein the monring. Checking on webmail and on iPad I see lots of emails but then why is the MacBook not getting them. The other 2 accounts work perfectly OK.
No settings have been changed
A big puzzle!

I found the problem.
I had a 21 MB email sent to me. Mac Mail obviously was unable to get it due to some form of time out (but no error messages) and since this one could not be downloaded it prevented everything else after it to be downloaded.
Surprisingly the iPad + iPhone showed the headers and thus allowed all other emails to be also displayed after it.
Deleting this big email from webmail cleared the way.
Problem solved
