Mail does not obey rules after 10.4.9 upgrade

Hello Helpers,
Can't no get Mail to obey rules set-up for one of my several email account as before. Even deleted the com.apple.mail.plist and set up accounts all over, including rules, adding new header "subject must" Contains a certain word. Problem did not resolved.
What to do? Help please! I should not have to delete emails that should not be in the account inbox. I did not have this problem in earlier versions.

Hello Guys,
I found the solution. Use mulitple rules for the account. I had follishly thought that each account could only have one rule. By setting up another rule that says "does not contain" the certain "word", move to trach, resolved the issue.
It nice to answer my own question, inspite of the fustration in learning. What a way to learn! I am happy to share.

  • Apple Mail does not download pop3 after 9 March

    From 9 March my Apple Mail refuses to download email from a POP3 connection. I use a MacBook air running 10.10.2. Without any success I have tried the following:
    restored from TM backup prior to 9 March - get mail seems to perform correctly but no more emails appear
    erase disk and perform full factory install of Yosemite - then setup mail account - all emails up to 9 March reload from server but nothing after
    worked with ISP L2 tech for many hours - they are stumped
    setup new user on my wife's iMac - this has not had the 9 March security updates applied yet - set up new email accounts - same result with email not being downloaded from 9 March
    set up Mulberry and Thunderbird email clients - same result with email not being downloaded from 9 March
    tried accessing from work network (MBA is recognised under BYOD settings) that worked perfectly prior to 9/3 but now has same problem - this to prove that ISP connection at home not problem
    However emails since 9 March are visible using webmail. Equally emails sent today to this account appear in webmail but not in the Apple client.
    I have two pop3 accounts to the same ISP linked to the same account - using the other email address to the same ISP - no problems at all!!
    In looking at logs created by Connection Doctor nothing comes up in the All Messages view. But looking at the SocketStremEvents.log the following error messages are shown:
    Mar 15 11:46:22 Warwicks-iMac.local Mail[3677] <Debug>: ERROR: Writing failed to socket: 0x6180000b0aa0, error: Error Domain=MCMailErrorDomain Code=1029 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (MCMailErrorDomain error 1029.)"
    Mar 15 11:46:22 Warwicks-iMac.local Mail[3677] <Debug>: NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable -- socket: 0x6080002b3e00 -- thread: 0x61000066abc0
    Mar 15 11:46:22 Warwicks-iMac.local Mail[3677] <Debug>: Unscheduled input stream from run loop after waiting to be readable -- socket: 0x6080002b3e00 -- thread: 0x61000066abc0
    In looking at Accounts.plist (in ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData) I note that there are two different settings for the key "UserAllowsInsecureAuthentication" across the two accounts. One is set to false and one to true. my ISP does not use encryption only authentication on POP3 and no authentication on smtp. I have tried setting this to true in both cases but this makes no difference.
    Extract 1: this for account exhibiting the inability to receive emails after 9 March:
    <string>[email protected]</string>
      </array>
      <key>FullUserName</key>
      <string>Warwick at Sandcastle Consulting</string>
      <key>Hostname</key>
      <string>pop3.paradise.net.nz</string>
      <key>IsFirstTimeSync</key>
      <string>YES</string>
      <key>JunkMailboxName</key>
      <string>Junk</string>
      <key>NotesMailboxName</key>
      <string>Notes</string>
      <key>PortNumber</key>
      <integer>110</integer>
      <key>SMTPIdentifier</key>
      <string>smtp.paradise.net.nz</string>
      <key>SentMessagesMailboxName</key>
      <string>Sent Messages</string>
      <key>ToDosMailboxName</key>
      <string>Apple Mail To Do</string>
      <key>TrashMailboxName</key>
      <string>Deleted Messages</string>
      <key>UserAllowsInsecureAuthentication</key>
      <true/>
    Extract 2: this for account that works perfectly:
    <string>[email protected]</string>
      <key>ConfigureDynamically</key>
      <true/>
      <key>Hostname</key>
      <string>smtp.paradise.net.nz</string>
      <key>MaxMessageBytes</key>
      <integer>31457280</integer>
      <key>PortNumber</key>
      <integer>25</integer>
      <key>UserAllowsInsecureAuthentication</key>
      <false/>
    Needless to say I am stumped. I cannot understand why one email address with a different username but to the same ISP exhibits the problem but not the other.

    I have found a fix - delete all the emails using the webmail account. Obviously there was something in one of the emails that was generating an error somewhere - whether on the client or server I am no closer to knowing.
    But once all emails were deleted, then test messages started flowing.
    Now why didn't I try that a week ago. Ho hum!

  • Mail does not see accounts after shutdown but are in Mail Folder

    Several days ago upgradeD an iMac from Mac OS 10.5.8 to 10.6.1. After the initial update Mail did not recognize any mail accounts that were in the Mail folder in user/Library. Solved my replacing user folder with one backed up up several days before by Time Machine.
    Yesterday upon start-up I noticed that my earlier Time Machine backups were no longer seen by Time Machine however, Mail seemed OK. This morning, upon start-up, Mail again does not recognize any accounts, and I am dead in the water!
    The Mail Folder still seems to look OK, but Mail will not input from this folder.
    Is there any way without recreating all 8 mail accounts and have Mail rebuild?
    I do have daily Retrospect tape backups.
    Any help out there?

    this means that your mail preference file was reset. quit Mail and restore the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from the most recent backup. start Mail and it will recognize its existing accounts and mailboxes. however, something is wrong with your system as this should not be happening with any regularity.

  • Why Mail does not work properly after updated to Mountain Lion?

    I updated to ML two days ago and my Mail is not working.  I can read but cannot reply because there is no cursor.  Restarted a few times, no change.  Anybody has the same problem??
    Rudh

    I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
    And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
    I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

  • Mail does not retreive messages after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    I just upgraded my work iMac (2009) to Mountain Lion last night and now it will not retreive any messages from my work email account (POP).  It was working fine yesterday (and for the past 3+ years) while I was still on Lion, but despite searching for answers and trying multiple solutions for several hours, I still cannot get it to work.  Among other things, I have deleted and then added the account back (multiple times); restarted the Mac (multiple times); and zapped the PRAM, but nothing has fixed it yet. 
    When I select "Get Mail" from that mailbox and watch the Activity Monitor, it connects to the server, says "Fetching new mail", then "Preparing to retreive new mail", but it then just disappears after about about a minute and makes the "no mail" beep.  There are no error messages, but I can see in the bottom "Mail Activity" window that it says it's downloading 40+ messages but nothing shows up.  The mail account still works on my iPhone and I can check the mail on my webmail server, so I don't think it has anything to do with the server especially since it worked fine yesterday. 
    Any insight would be much appreciated because it's driving me crazy!!

  • Photo Browser in Mail does not show iPhoto after migration

    I've posted in this in the iPhoto '08 thread but I'm thinking this is a Mail issue.
    After using the Migration Assistant to move files from my MacBook to my iMac, when in Mail, the "Photo Browser" shows photos from Photo Booth but no longer from iPhoto.
    Ideas? Many thanks!

    Have been working with LarryHN in an iPhoto thread. He posted this SOLUTION. Yes!!!

  • Scheduled BEX Broadcaster reports does not work automatically after BW 7.3 upgrade

    Hello,
    We recently upgraded our BW system from 7.0 to 7.31
    Since then broadcasting reports has been inconsistent. Not all the reports are broadcasted.
    Some reports of object type Query has been scheduled to run everyday but I don't see that in released status in SM37.
    Some WAD templates throws an error that states " JAVA SYSTEM ERROR : EXCEPTION in method process function"
    WAD reports also flags this warning : "Transformation Exception while transforming BEX web templates" in all the reports.
    System Version:
    BI ABAP 7.31 SP11
    BI JAVA 7.00 SPS 30 Patch.
    Most of the suggested SAP Notes are covered in this release.
    SAP suggests to upgrade BI JAVA. But we are looking for a quick fix  since JAVA upgrade has to go through a process and that's time consuming.
    Appreciate your suggestions on this.
    Thanks,
    Nithya.

    Hi,
    Please have a look to the Blog - BI-JAVA, BEx Web and EP: the real connection to resolve your Problems after the Upgrade to 7.31.
    There a quite massive differences between BI-JAVA 7.0x and 7.3x.
    See also the Section BEx Web Java 7.3x in the SCN Document - BEx Versions 3.5 and 7.x after Upgrade

  • Mail does not automatically update on Mavericks 10.9.1

    My Mac Mail does not automatically download after the Mavericks 10.9.1 update on December 16th. I have set preferences to download automatically. It worked fine until recently but now i have to click get mail option to receive emails. It is true for all my accounts (Exchange, Google IMAP, Yahoo IMAP and iCloud IMAP).
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • 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 load the mail after opening with 10.10.3 on macbook air

    Mail does not load the mail after opening with 10.10.3 on macbook air

    Under Window in the Menu bar select Connection doctor. You will see green to indicate a connection and red to show there is a problem. Except for iCloud account you'll see two entries for each account 1) receiving and 2 SMTP for sending.
    If it's red, this usually means it's missing the password.
    For Incoming messages, set in the account window, under Account Information tab.
    For Outgoing (SMTP) messages, follow these steps:
    EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
    In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP:  select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
    Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
    Under Advanced Tab:
    Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.
    Verify if your server require SSL.
    User Name. Enter full email address  eg.  [email protected]
    Add password if it is blank.(If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password  more info)
    Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
    Do you see green light now for your account SMTP?
