Mail does not move Junk mail to the Junk mailbox.

I use OS X 10.9.3, Mail Version 7.3 (1878.2) and have created the rule that if Message is Junk, Move it to the Junk mailbox, but it does not work. Junk messages remain in the Inbox, even after I select messages and Apply rules. I have tried marking and unmarking as Junk, and then they disappear, but this is obviously not a sustainable longterm solution. Any other suggestions?

Hi Jeff, are you saying the Inbox with Junk is inside the Junk Folder, or is this a different account?
First Quit Mail, look in the finder for those IMAP folders inside your...
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/IMAPaccount folder, move them where they should be in the Finder.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

ICloud mail does not reconnect in Mail application on MacBook Pro after disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone or after sleep

iCloud mail does not reconnect in Mail on my MacBook Pro after sleep or after disconnecting and reconnecting my iPhone. This only happens when I use my iPhone as a 3G-modem and not when I am on Wi-Fi. The only solution seems to be to quit the Mail-application and restart it again. Then Mail reconnects to iCloud.

Hi horstp,
Given your description of the issue (works on other Macs), it may be worth trying to set up that account by itself in a new test user on the iMac to see if it can be isolated to a user-specific file. You may find the following article helpful:

Mail does not store sent mail on server

Sending messages with Apple Mail fails to store them on server. I have the preferences checked to store them on server but this does not happen. I am using hostgator.com and I can log into my webmail account with Squirrel mail and sent mail is not stored or seen in the sent mail box.

Hello John:
I have no clue what those things you mention are….
If, however, your mail platform is POP, the sent messages will not be stored on the server.

Deleted a message from Mail does not move it to the trash folder

I am a brand new mac user, so it's possible I just don't know what I am doing yet.
I have added my IMAP email account to Mail with the following mailbox behavior:
When I delete a message from my Inbox, in Mail it appears to move to the Trash folder. However, if I log into the webmail interface I can see it actually still exists in the Inbox, but has been marked as deleted (there is a line through it). It is not actually moving the message on the server into a trash folder, like iPad does. If I pull up the Trash folder on my iPad, it does automagically reflect the item I deleted. However, on my phone (not an iPhone), the messages are missing from the Trash folder.
How do I configure Mail on my Mac to behave like Mail on the iPad? When I delete a message, I want it to move the message into the Trash folder on the server.
Thank you very much,
Jesse

I figured it out. Mail created a new folder called, "Deleted Messages." I was looking in "Deleted Items," which was an old folder.

Mail does not show all mails from the same sender

Hello,
I have a problem with Mail - maybe an undiscovered bug? I play lotto on the free online platform www.freelotto.com. Each day freelotto sends me 6 mail receipts for any individual lotto game I took part of. The sender is always the same in each of these mails.
When I receive these mails on my iphone I got all the six mails I expected. The same on my ipad. But in Mail on my Mac (same settings) I got just four. Two mails are always missing!!! I have no idea why. The are not in the SPAM or any other folder (also not in the recycle bin). They are just missing at all. I also checked my mail provider but those two mails are not longer on the mail server. So Mail must have received them - but does not list them.
What can I do?
Regards,

Mail does not see e-mail in mailbox

Hi there,
I have three e-mail accounts that are all set up successfully (I can send and receive mail) in Mail. Two of the three accounts are gmail accounts. One of the gmail accounts has about 20 e-mails in the inbox. I created this account in Mail and it promptly downloaded all 20 e-mails. As I was setting up the other two accounts in Mail, I was forced to remove the first one as part of some trouble shooting steps.
I've since added the first account back into Mail but now it will not download those 20 e-mails again. I can send and receive e-mail from all my accounts, and I can see the original 20 e-mails sitting in the inbox of my gmail account when logged in through the browser. But no matter what I do I can not get those same messages into Mail again. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here's what I've tried.
1) Delete and re-create the account
2) Mailbox->Get All New Mail
3) Mailbox->Get New Mail->(foo)@gmail.com
4) Mailbox->Rebuild
I'm using Version 3.1 (914/915) of Mail.
Thank you!

Gmail: How to re-download recent Gmail messages
http://lifehacker.com/software/gmail/how-to-re+download-recent-gmail-messages-25 1365.php
Any messages that are older the 30 days you should still be able to re-download manually by going to the webmail and forwarding the messages to yourself.
If that does not work then you may need to forward them to another e-mail account perhaps one provided by your isp.

Mail does not connect to mail servers after 10.5.7 update

Updated Macbook Air with 10.5.7 update. The update went without problems.
After starting the computer, the Mail program does not connect to the mail servers - IMAP, POP, SMTP.
Otherwise the internet connection is OK for other programs, connection is through WIFI - Airport Extreme, Time Capsule... In all cases the same problem with Mail - showing the following
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 993 failed (error 1: Operation not permitted)
The connection doctor shows
Mail was able to connect to the internet
and for all the servers - could not connect, check your connection...
Did repair of keychain and permissions - no change in status of Mail... any ideas?

This is what shows up in console: (maybe someone who can understand this can help us!)

GMail IMAP All Mail does not match Apple Mail

I have a GMail account that I also access via Apple Mail setup as IMAP. I've been trying to delete some emails from this GMail account. I first did the delete in Apple Mail (AM) but somehow the deleted emails would show up a few minutes later. So next I did the delete directly on the web based GMail account. After I got done, the emails seemed to have been deleted on my GMail account. At this time I had ~11,000 items in the GMail All Mail folder.
But when I looked at AM, the IMAP Gmail All Mail has over 21,000 items which includes all of the items I had deleted from GMail.
I tried deleting the IMAP account all together and made sure that the GMail IMAP folders in the Library was removed. Then I recreated the IMAP account in AM and within about 30 minutes, all of the 21,000 items including the emails that no longer exists in the web based GMail account came back.
I like the convenience of having access to All Mail in my AM but it seems I don't have control over the contents. Can anyone explain what is going on and how I might be able to actually delete the files within AM?

"what I mean is that you have two copies of everything in Apple Mail. everything that's in your gmail inbox in Mail or in any of the other mailboxes is duplicated in the All mail mailbox."
I don't keep them in both places, after I have read the message and have responded, I delete the message from my AM inbox because I know a backup already exists in All Mail.
this is up to you and you can do as you like but this is the long way to do it and you'll be fighting gmail as you are if you keep using it. it's much simpler IMO to keep messages you don't want to delete in your inbox. as it is you do download every message twice even if you delete one copy afterward.
I want to clean out all of the junk mail that gets kept by GMail in All Mail and that is why I am trying to delete these items.
that's just it. there is no easy way to do it. All Mail is the master mailbox for everything you ever received. gmail wants to keep all of them forever and they are hard to get rid of.
I seem to have deleted them from the web GMail but they keep showing back up in the AM All Mail. That must mean GMail is still keeping these "deleted" items somehow/somewhere so that when I create a new IMAP account, AM is downloading them again.
I suspect you haven't emptied trash in webmail gmail.

Mail does not send out mail / builds loads of drafts of the same message

The problem described above I had for quite a while. Mail I send disappeared and I could find them back in the outbox under prefs/mail/outbox the outbox in mail.app was empty. Having to check your send items every time you have sen out an email is not an option :P
This made me follow a tip I found here to delete mail folder and the .plist files restart my MBP and reopen mail and let everything be restored from me.com
Unfortunately after a week problems are reoccurring.

No Mobile me works fine. And with fine I mean the problems with Mail.app are related to mobile me or leopard.
With leopard; mail got to do and task witch are only half implemented, adding a note to a task can only be done in calender.
Mobile me; sins the change of .mac to me I have been having issues
Unfortunately leopart and then especially mail and mobile me are both buggy.
Hope this will be addressed and throughout tested with a next update.

Retention Processing does not move Document Set to the Drop Off Library

Hi Everyone.
Had Retention Processing working fine. Moving files between Document Librarys and the Record Centre using Information Management Policies to move to the Drop-Off Library where the Content Organizer Rules moved them to the relevent Library.
It has all come to a grinding halt with the following line in the '14 hive' logs.
Skipping retention processing for item /doc/Housing/1 RET TEST SET on web http://moraysrv052/doc because there is an unprocessed schedule update. 1b1dfe42-28f9-440a-b84a-17c20aa9c7d6
I have searched the Internet and these forums but can find no reference to this error, Can anyone help as automatic retention policies are crucial to our Sharepoint Implementation.
Cheers
Ross Urquhart

Vinit
Thanks for the advise but not the answer unfortunately.
I have the Content Organizer & Expiration Policy Timer Jobs running every 15 mins, Information Management Policy runs Weekly as this only effects changes to Policy. I have changed the times so all jobs run every 15 mins. Still get the same error message.
Expiration worked perfectly before when it was triggered by Closure Date, A column we created which the user populates to indicate the Document can be closed. Retention then moves the Document to the Record Centre. I changed the trigger on one of the Document
Sets to be Created Date and this generates the error, Change this back to Closure Date, no error, Document moves to Record Centre Drop Off Library.
Another observation. If Retention is against a any other Content Type it is called Created if it is against a Document Set Content Type it is called Created Date, however when you review the Compliance Details of the Set it is called Created.
Does this trigger any ideas.

Mavericks Mail does not open showing mail

When I start Mail it opens with the last used mailbox selected and all the mail in that box showing - just as I'd expect. My wife's iMac opens Mail with no mailbox selected and no mail showing. I can't see any different settings and rebuilding mailboxes hasn't helped. Any ideas?

Same for me.
Was this ever resolved?

Search does not work in Mail

After upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and reindexing my mails, "Mail" does not find anything when using the built-in search feature (neither does Spotlight). I tried removing the envelop files in the Library folder (- reindexing), deleting + adding email accounts within Mail, and removing / adding the mail folder to Spotlight (following Apple's suggestion (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409)). Interestingly enough, when re-adding the mail folder to Spotlight, nothing seems to happen.
I have the impression that this could be related to the fact that I have my mails stored within an encrypted archive file (sparse bundle). Therefore the Library folder does not contain the Mail archive directly but refers to a disk volume via an alias. I had no problems with this prior to Mavericks.
Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas how this could be solved?
Thanks,
Tim.

hi tim....see what you think
here is one more thot.
have now reconciled to the idea that the 'to' name will not show, only the 'from' name,
so, sorted the trash box by 'to'. (by clicking the top area to 'sort by to'
then started going down and looking at each emails header to see if all the listings were in order of 'to',
to miss A
to miss A
to miss A,
however that is usually the case but often the person they are 'to' are not all togher, like all the 'to Miss A' are not all togher but scattered thru the list...
should it be like that?

Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part?

Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather according the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part? (I do have the setting for creating new emails from the highlighted mailbox checked.)

The questions about time was not only because of thinking about the Time Machine, but also possible impact on recognizing which messages remaining on a POP server (doesn't apply to IMAP) have been already downloaded. In the Mail folder, at its root level, in Mail 3.x there is a file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 that should prevent duplicate downloading -- some servers may not communicate the best with respect to that, and the universal index must certainly be involved in updating that index file. If it corrupts, it can inhibit proper downloading. However, setting the account up in a New User Account and having the same problem does not point that way, unless your POP3 server is very different from most.
That universal index is also typically involved when messages are meant to be moved from the Inbox to another mailbox -- in Mail 3.x the message does not move, but rather is copied, and then erased from the origin mailbox. That requires updating the Envelope Index to keep track of where the message is, and should keep track of where it is supposed to have been removed after the "Move".

Rule containing "Mark as Read" and "Move to Folder" does not remove New Mail Notification

I asked this question in another forum here (sorry for not linking, but the forum would not let me because my account is not yet verified):
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/rule-containing-mark-as-read-and-move-to-folder/061a8009-dd98-4304-81b0-6c4c8a5a6205
They passed the buck to this forum. Can anyone help? Here is my original post:
I have set up a rule so that emails from a certain sender should be marked as 'read' and routed to a certain folder. The rule works just fine except for the fact that it does not remove the new mail notification from the taskbar icon
or the system tray. The rule reads as follows:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with New Home Sale in the subject
move it to the _New Home Sales folder
and mark it read
Once I open the _New Home Sales folder, all messages are marked as read, as they should be. When I open any of the emails in this folder, the notification goes away. It does not even have to be the most recent email or the same folder
- opening any email from any folder clears the notification, even if the same email was used to clear it before. Previewing does not remove the notification.
I have a similar rule set up for another folder:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with New Home Final Sale in the subject
move it to the _New Home Final Sales folder
and mark it as read
The same thing happens here with the unread notification.
This is very annoying, as I want to receive these emails but I do not need to know every time one comes in.
Does anyone have any advice on this? I have read a few threads about an unread email bug, but I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting somewhere. I find it hard to believe such a bug would persist this long.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify the Exchange version and Outlook version at first. Since I have a test in my environment using Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2010. I create a same inbox rule, it works and there is no new mail notification from
the taskbar.
What's more, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the problem is caused by add-ins.
If the issue persists, please install the Outlook latest Service Packs and check the result.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
