Mail Disappearing via Black Triangle

I have a Mac Mini G4 and my Mail is acting weird. Next to each of my 2 accounts in my Drafts folder I have a black triangle, when I click on the triangle it turns down however, nothing shows up in the Drafts folder. I have saved several drafts but they don't show up but if I do a search I can find them.
Please help

Restart your mac:
Safe Boot: Hold down the shift key after the chime until the Apple logo appears and the gear is moving.
It will take awhile but you will be asked to login.
Go to your Applications folder> Utilities and launch Disk Utility.
In the left side column, highlight your drive and repair permissions.( button down below).
From BDAqua:
Quit Mail, then In your home folder, try moving this folder & file to the Desktop then reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
Move to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Mail will ask to import your messages. If all goes well and Mail is fixed trash the files on the desktop.

Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols. Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center. I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center. I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Blue ball next to black triangle to the left of my Life Stories Blog. 8-(

Should I be concerned?
In iWeb, there is a blue ball/circle to the left of the inverted black triangle that is next to my Life Stories Blog in my main site. There is no such blue ball/circle next to the 4th Down Blog in my 4th Down site.
This blue ball/circle is recent. I just now opened my iWeb program and there it is. A new addition, a surprise.
What's up with that blue ball/circle?
If it is a message, then what is it messaging me to do?
Lorna in Southern California
Edit:
I just remembered that I also have a RED dot on my iWeb icon in my Dock. I remembered that the red dot means that there is a Comment in one of the blog entries, so I did go there hours ago and read it (for the Rodney Clown Doll), but then subsequent to my reading the comment, the red dot on my iWeb icon in my Dock did NOT disappear.
I had other things to do so I quit iWeb. Now I am back and notice that in addition to that blue ball/circle, the red dot is still there and has not disappeared. Shouldn't the red dot go away after the comment has been read or at least after the program has been quitted?
And since both the red dot and the blue ball are connected to the Life Stories Blog, I think that something might be wrong with that blog.

Lorna,
Yeah I think something is wrong w/ the blog. I say
this because I posted that comment to the clown (I
don't like clowns they are spooky) and it didn't
take
the whole comment. Not much longer but it had
something funny in it about Monk.
jabberwock
If I highlight your comment and paste it somewhere
else, it shows up in full:
Now I don't mean to scare you....but you are a
clown and clowns are very very scary. Monk has it all
over you. Please stop scaring all the girls away.
Your friend,
Harley Quinn
I think the problem with Lorna's blog entry (just
that particular one) is that she has
manipulated/moved the entry area and the photo area
around and the entry area is much narrower than it is
supposed to be.
I left a comment. It is supposed to say:
Testing to see if this comment will be shown in full
from left to right because Lorna has made this space
skinny...
But it doesn't all show.
Jabberwock and Allyson -- thank you very much for finding this problem! Now I know not to manipulate that space too much. Sooooooo..... the space is too skinny. And I would like to make it wider so your comment shows, but am scared to, because sometimes when I have gone and moved things around, the DATE changed on me. I will go to see your comment now. Knowing me, I will fiddle with the skinny issue.
BTW: I agree that clowns are scary. Probably a lot of people feel this way, too. Think of recent villains.. many have been clowns. The clown in "It" was horrific for me.

Missing mail - disappearing mail

after upgrading t 10.4.6 mail.app has suddenly exhibiting some very strange behavior;
i watch emails coming down from server, and then i go to read some of them - even clicking on one for instance _ and it disappears. fortunately i am able to log into my mail server via control panel and see the mail.
the other thing is there are a number of folders that show that messages (apparently unread) are in the folder, however when clicking on the folder name, the folder is empty.
doing a "get info" on the folder shows the messages that are on the server related to that particular POP account.
also, i have noticed many topics related to missing email, and loads of posting reads, but NO responses. what is up with that?

Problems appearing as a result of updating the system software are usually a consequence of the update not being done properly. Read the following article for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Installing software updates
In particular, you should consider verifying/repairing your disk (not just repairing permissions):
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
You may also want to consider reinstalling the update using the combo installer:
Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update for PPC
That said, your problems might very well have nothing to do with any of the above. If I've understood it correctly, your problems are not the result of upgrading from either Jaguar or Panther (i.e Mail 1.x). That is, either you started using Mail in Tiger (Mail 2.0) or you didn't experience any problems when upgrading from Mail 1.x, right?
If the above is correct, try this:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/. You may want to make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
3. Locate the Envelope Index file and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted later if this solves the problem).
4. Launch Mail again and let it finish re-indexing everything -- it says it's "importing", but it's just re-creating the Envelope Index file.
It could also be that you have problems with rules, but try the above first.

Hi,
You requirement is not specific.You want to print PO or want send PO via E-mail to vendor.
You can maintain multiple E-mail ID's for a vendor master.In standard possible to send PO by e-mail to vendor to single e-mail ID ONLY. If you want to send PO by e-mail in multiple (e-mail) ID's, you can go for development with ABAPer for using of function module OR can work with group e-mail concept( check with system admin team).

Strange things happen: mail disappears/appears/is shown wrong

Strange things happen: mail appears in "drafts"/mail disappears after "send"/title-content doesn't match
I'm having some Problems with mails that get worse and worse
First thing I remember is, that I found mails in "Drafts" that weren't drafts, but just mails I received or mails I sent.
They were kind of aliasses of the original. Deleting them in "Drafts" deleted the original in its Mailbox too.
Re-indexing Mail (removing the envelope.index files etc.) fixes it, but it reappears very soon
Next thing:
When I send an email, it happens sometimes, that it is not send (no sending sound, no copy in the "Sent"-Folder). It just "disappears"
Re-indexing Mail fixes this: When Mail is ready with reindexing, it sends those messages (kind of funny, when I do this reindexing after some weeks... kind of...) - but it will reappear
The third thing happens more seldom:
When I klick on the emails name in the list, I get another Mail shown in the Previewbox. Doubleklicking the mail shows the wrong mail too.
Re-indexing fixes this, - but it will reappear
Well after having re-indexd my Mail library 10 times this week, I want another solution for this...
Mail Version etc:
Mail: Version 3.5 (930.3)
1 Pop account,
1 .mac account (i don't use)
Mail, after being sent, is moved to "Sent"mail never to be deleted
Mails Spam Filter is active (and working fine, by the way)
about 80 Mailboxes for old Mails I got, partially nested
More than 4000 Mails in the whole Database
Things I've already done:
Reindexing mail, as I already wrote (Quit mail, removing the files "Envelope Index" and "Envelope Index-1", and the folder starting with "Mac-", then start Mail again, that tells me to klick "ok" for reimporting the mail)
I deleted a bunch of emails with attachements, so there are just a few with attachment now.
I emptied the "Sent" folder and put those old emails in 3 Folders (each of them is containing about 500 mails now)
Thanks for your help in advance
PS: Yes, I want to keep all these old mails...

This is not a security risk - a setting change you should make.
1. Take a look in settings - i message and see what the 'recieve at' addresses are declared. If you do not want to see phone messages on the pad, clear that number out of there - and just use your e mail address.
2. Since you used to have an i phone, that device is likely still registered go to your i tunes account and de register the device.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

*there's no reason to be paranoid*
Says Mulder .
Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

Original mail disappears when forwarding if I inadvertently attempt an edit of the original.

This problem occurs when I am creating a reply to an incoming mail. After hitting the reply button, I will sometimes inadvertantly mix up (click on) the original mail message rather than the response I'm typing. This happens when my desktop is crowded and because of the way the reply message stacks on top of the original. Anyway, If I inadvertently attempt to edit or delete any part of the ORIGINAL mail, it just disappears in a flash, without warning, as if it has been deleted. Now, I know that original mail cannot be edited but why does it disappear? My reply message remains OK but the original disappears without a trace. Where does it go? Can it be retrieved?

I figured that part out already, thanks.
What I posted was an attempt to discover why the original mail disappears, where does it go, and can it be retrieved?
It's really annoying to have the original message just disappear on those occasions when I inadvertently to click on the wrong window.

Picture simply becomes black or a black triangle

When i select a picture, go to Full-Screen Mode (f), and for example slide the highlights or shadows slider, the picture immeidately becomes black. When I am not in fullscreen mode, the pic becomes a black triangle. When I deselect the modifications, the preview returns.
I use a MacPro with Geforce 7300 GT, 10.4.10 and Aperture 1.54.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I have the same problem, I have two NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT on a new Mac Pro with Leopard and Aperture 1.5.6. When I have three monitors plugged in, Aperture does not display many pictures properly, on the alternate monitor it frequently comes up blank. On the main monitor, when I go to Full screen mode (press F), many photos look look completely corrupted. I figured out that the problem is a result of two video cards. I have the same problem when only using two monitors, if the monitors are plugged into different video cards. If the two monitors are plugged into the same card, it works fine (when their are only two monitors, not three).

A black triangle comes up when I try to edit a picture from i photo ---how do I get rid of this and what does it mean?library--what does this mean and how do I get rid of it?

A black triangle come up in i photo when I try to edit a picture from my library. I don't know what it means or how to get rid of it? Thanks for

In iTunes, click on "iTunes" in the menu bar, then on "About iTunes". Which version do you have?
If you are running OS X 10.5.8 (as per your signature), the iTunes 10.6.3 is the latest you can install and use. If your iTunes version is older, you can get that 10.6.3 here and see if it can deal with the library.
The latest iTunes, version 10.7, requires OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Unless your signature is wrong and you run a late Snow Leopard, Lion or even Mountain Lion, it won't work for you, and you could add me to the list of people asking the same question as Allan, "where's that library from?".

My macbook unibody screen has vertical black triangles on the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know if this is fixable, or do I need to purchase a new screen?

Recently, I started my computer and black triangles appeared on the bottom of my Macbook unibody screen. I restarted several times (tried the command + option + p + r trick). Does anyone know what could be wrong?

It can be fixed by Apple, some authorized Apple repair shops, or third-party repair shops.
Apple actually replaces your iPod with a refurbished iPod and the price will depend on what model you have. Others will repair your iPod and the prices tend to be lower.

How to mail merge via Mail.app?

I would link to run a mail merge via Numbers (or Excel) through Mail.app just like I can to print media with Pages.
Any ideas?

I have searched high and low for the answer and it appears the mac is seriously missing this basic tool that nearly all businesses need nowdays. It's a real shame. Brand new macbook pro and macbook air for our sales people and whatnot and who would have thought we'd have to resort back to our old windows tools on the mac (microsoft office and outlook on OSX). If we'd have known there was a major hole in the basic tools we wouldnt have moved over.
Anyway, that was a bit "rantish" but if I can be more constructive I've had suggestions to pay someone to write applescript and automator code for me, purchase office and outlook for mac and that's about it. I can't find any custom apps (except for MaxBulk Mailer and RoBoPostman) but they're both very contained though I may have to give them a go soon if I can find no other solution. (EDIT: You can also use online tools like sendgrid and the like but I want my own on machine system where I don't pay per month etc)
Basically people are saying numbers and pages haven't been updated much at all in the last 3 years so that's why this problem has been persistent for so long. Others claim it's not a problem (they must use all their contact data in the address book rather than databases and/or spreadsheets). It is a real problem though (I'm ranting again sorry! )
IF you find a solution I'd LOVE to hear it. Our marketing efforts are suffering due to this.

E-mail disappear on my iPad without me deleting

e-mail disappear from my inbox on my ipad2 without me deleting. what should I do to prevent this from happening?

bob [ you knew my tongue was firmly in cheek - well, mostly ]
seems a futile effort. as I said before, messages are SMALL. For example, the notice of your post at Jan 14, 2015 4:10 PM CST/US when saved as from MS Entourage:
These clearly are BIGGER than the space they use in the Entourage database.
I do not know what methods are used to store on iPad, but for the sake of discussion, let's use Mac Finder filesize of HTML. Still seems a piddly amount compared to all the media stored locally - or is it all really on iCloud?
At any rate, nice guy that you are, why not illustrate How to get vkgibson's issue fixed now that we accept why?

Why did my iPhoto and Mail disappear?

Why did my iPhoto and Mail disappear? I also lost and had to reload Quicken. This all happened in three days.

The applications are gone. First Quicken disappeared and I reloaded it from the disk yesterday. Today Mail, Contacts and iPhoto disappeared. No one else uses my computer and I've had no other crashes and I haven't made any changes. I don't think anything else is missing. Apple is sending me disks so I can reload the missing stuff but they wouldn't speculate on why it happened nor whether it will continue. Thanks for helping.

Help!! I'm using a Mid 2012 MBP retina. for the past 2 years my write speeds has been consistently on 400MB/s via black magic test. but now it only have 100MB/s going down to 80MB/s. what should I do???? getting slower...

Help!! I'm using a Mid 2012 MBP retina 2.3Ghz i7 with 8GB of ram 256SSD. for the past 2 years my write speeds has been consistently on 400MB/s and up via black magic test. but now it only have 100MB/s going down to 80MB/s. what should I do???? I have already cleaned and even restored my MBP still it's on 100MB/s. please help. I have to finish tasks on a timely manner.

No. This requires completely repartitioning the SSD. You can do that only by using the Network Recovery method or the method I outlined. My method preserves all your data and doesn't require doing a slow Network Recovery. But if you wish to do that instead. The purpose of the whole exercise is to "clean" the SSD of garbage collected during use that tends to cause the SSD to slow down as you've described.
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button. Set Zero Data - one-pass, click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
