Mail disappears when send clicked

About 3 days ago email I have composed began to disappear entirely when I click Send. It does not go into Sent, Draft, Outbox or any other mailbox nor does it get delivered. I just disappears. This includes Replies as well as New messages. Incoming email is received normally although I've been having some problems with Rules not being used properly but that could be totally unrelated.
There are no error messages...none. The ONLY thing I can find is a message in Console like this for a test email I just tried to send: "9/13/12 9:31:36.898 AM Mail[1443]: deleting invalid message from outbox". Clicking Inspector for the message provides nothing that I understand and cannot copy nor can I Grab it to attach. We also have an XP PC using Outlook Express, the same email provider (RoadRunner) and account that sends email without a problem.
Does anyone have any idea why this happening? Seaching the web or these Support Communities for the Console message provides no useable results.
Thanks in advance for any help.

In Mail, if you click on the Sent mailbox in the Sidebar, and then on Mailbox in the command bar, and then place the cursor on the Command to Use This Mailbox for, are the choices black or gray? What you describe would most match needing to choose the Sent as the destination of message sent from Mail. Is not required with all accounts, but can be the cause of this.

HT2623 How to make my full name disappear when sending from my primary email address.

I would like to make my full name disappear when sending from my primary email address. so the recipient when receives my email can see only my email address, i.e. email address of the sender. In Preferences, Accounts, my full name is greyed out and I cannot change it. If I try to do Custom, it would let me change it, i.e. delete my name from Full Name box, but then when Mail is closed and reopened, it would lose the previously saved Custom setting and go back to the same. All my other aliases associated with this email account work ok and the receiver sees only the email address.
Does anyone know what is going on?

What if you remove the .mac account from the Accounts panel under mail Preference?
If that doesn't work, sign into the webmail at me.com, click the "sprocket" button and select preference, in preference go the the aliases tab see if you can remove the email address with your name. If not, go to composing tab see if there is anything you can remove from the +Identity: send email as field+. Good luck.

I cannot upload attachments to e-mails. When I click on browse in the attachment pop up nothing happens, I cant even type in a document address in the file location box
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I downloaded the latest version of firefox

Again, where are you seeing the date?
Select one of the imported photos, type Command + i and check in the iPhoto Info drawer to see what the EXIF capture date is for those photos.
If the date is correct then you're looking at the file created or modified date and not the EXIF capture date that's embedded in the image file itself.

In Safari, composing an E-mail message, when I click on "I" for italics, then unclick "I" to return to the regular type face, it reverts to italic mode when I hit the "return" key.

In Safari, composing an E-mail message, when I click on "I" for italics, use italics for a word, then unclick "I" to return to the regular type face, it reverts to italics after I hit the "return" key to begin a new paragraph. How can I avoid that unwanted reverting to italics?

Hi ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

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.

How do I set Firefox so it opens to my yahoo mail site when I click opening icon??

When I click firefox opening page shows a big google search screen. I want the opening page to show my bellsouth (yahoo) mail.
How do I do this? I'm weaning myself from Safari.

There are a couple of settings. First, right-click on the account in the folder list to the left, then select "Properties" from the context menu. Go into the "Server Settings" tab. Uncheck
* Check for new messages at startup
* Check for new messages every [__] minutes
and then click the "Advanced" button. Another option to uncheck here is
* Use IDLE commend if the server supports it
which is a mechanism that allows the ''server'' to actively notify the program about new incoming mail.
This assumes that you have set up the Gmail account as IMAP account.

Visual webpart disappears when i click edit page button

I have created a visual webpart for a menu with listpicker, am able to deploy the webpart in a page, select lists using list picker and save the page. But when again when i click edit page button, the webpart disappears. and again if i add the same webpart
in the same page, the name of webpart comes like "Visualwebpart[1]".

Even in wiki Page, you can make sure that it doesn't disappear.
"When you add a web part to a wiki page, save the page BEFORE configuring the web part. If you need to add several web parts, you can add them all and then save. Once the page is saved with the web parts on it, you should be able to configure the web
parts without any issue"

Why does my image disappear when I click on it to enlarge?

I am using iPhoto '11, version 9.4.3 When I click on a single photo from an event to see and enlarge it, the image disappears, and what I see is a black screen with a large triangle and an exclamation point inside the triangle. What does this mean? I don't think the photo is actually disappeared because I can still see it in the smaller size.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

When using Typewriter tool, text disappears when I click out of box...

Hi!
I'm sure I've seen this question addressed here before but I cannot make the "Search" work. Every time I search I get "no results" even when I search for something as obvious as PDF.
So please forgive me posting a question that I'm pretty sure has been answered in the past...
When I use the Typewriter tool to type some text, and then I click out of the text box that the Typewriter tool created, the text that I typed disappears. If I double-click on the typewriter text box then the text reappears. Then if I click out, the text disappears. And so on...
How do I make that text stay "viewable" even when I click out of the typewriter text box?
Thank you so much!!
Diane

Hi Larry!!
Here is an image where the box with the Typewriter text (the word "test) is "activated", with the comments list showing down below but without the "test" comment in the comment list being highlighted. At the green "plus sign arrow" in the upper-right corner is the word "test".
Now below is an image where the box with the Typewriter text (the word "test") is not "activated" (but you can see the blue box where the word "test" should be showing), with the comments list showing down below, with the "test" comment highlighted, and the "Comments" dropdown menu so that you can see what's black in the dropdown menu.
When I clicked on the "test" comment in the comment list, the word "test" went away in the upper-right corner and the blue box showed up instead.
Am I showing what you need to see or should I show something different?
Thank again so much!!
Diane

Mail crashing when sending via Gmail

I've been sending and receiving through my Gmail account just fine for months now. However, over the last two days or so, Mail will get stuck in a crash loop if I attempt to send a message through Gmail - but not any of my other accounts. Mail behaves fine if I send through .Mac or any of my personal hosting email accounts.
When trying to send through Gmail, Mail will crash while appearing as though it is still trying to send the message. The kicker is that, often times, the message actually gets sent out; this has resulted in duplicates being sent to friends and a couple email lists I'm on.
Upon starting Mail back up, it attempts to send the message again - which causes another crash. The only way I've been able to stop this is to use the keyboard shortcut to quickly bring up the activity panel and cancel the sending operation before the crash occurs.
I have removed all plugins I use (MailTags and Mail Act-On) in a troubleshooting effort to find out if they were causing the problem. Nothing changed; Mail keeps crashing when sending through Gmail.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
When an application crashes (i.e. quits unexpectedly), the system writes information about the state of the application at the moment of the crash into a log file. That information is called a crash report and it makes troubleshooting much easier. In order to find and paste the relevant part of the crash report here, proceed as follows:
1. Open ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Mail.crash.log. The whole Mail crash log appears on a Console window (you can also open that file with any text editor). It may contain many crash reports. We only want the latest, which is located at the bottom of the file.
2. Look for a line that begins with "Date/Time:" as close to the bottom as possible, and another that says "Thread N Crashed:", where N is a number. Select everything from the "Date/Time:" line to the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:". Copy that text and paste it here. Do not post the whole crash log, and do not include anything beyond the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:" either, just the relevant part.
Take a look at the following thread for examples of what a crash report looks like:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=466701
In the meantime, you may try re-creating the preferences file, in case there is something wrong with it (the account settings are stored in this file):
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate the com.apple.mail.plist file and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
You'll have to set up your non-Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it's enabled.
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 file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

I frequently get a MAILER-DAEMON when sending from my AOL to a Monzila user. This doesn't happen when sendin to anyone else

Sometimes when sending mail from my AOL e-mail, it will go thru to Monzila users but many times they don't. I frequently get a MAILER-DAEMON. Why?

Thunderbird is email client software. Mailer-Daemon messages come from email provider's server. Email client software cannot create such a message.
