  • Mail doesn't show new messages

    Mail sometimes doesn't show new messages for an IMAP account. The badge in the dock says that there is a new mail but it doesn't show up in the inbox. I'm sure that I didn't just miss it, because, smart mailboxes will not find that new mail as well. When I restart mail, the mail finally shows up in the inbox as well.
    Anybody else seeing this and what can I do to resolve that issue?
    Thanks!

    I'll bring everyone up to speed on what's been happening with my family accounts. I first suspected Safari, because it seemed to be a local problem, but then, inexplicably, all mobileme mail accounts tied to that family account, which included 4 subaccounts and 1 mail-only account, not only did not work in mail.app, but also failed in other email clients I tested, including clients on Linux. Also, the webmail version was not working well, either.
    So, if your problem is isolated to a single computer and just to mail.app, or just with a particular network, then I think the local troubleshooting steps are the way to go.
    But, if your problem extends to other platforms, clients, and webmail, then it is likely an issue the engineers at Apple will have to figure out. I found the online chat service for mobileme users to be very helpful in checking through all the 'usual suspects' and after we had pretty much ruled out any of the usual culprits, it was escalated to the engineers, who are working on it now.
    They were able to release all the email that had been piling up, but there are still some glitches they are trying to iron out. As an aside, I have been personally managing various mail servers for a dozen years, and am well aware of the difficulties in diagnosing email problems, and it was stumping me, and I have intimate knowledge of Exim and Exchange and various email modules used with mx services.
    +While this 'should never happen', it's unrealistic for users to expect it never will. Of all the services provided on the Internet, email, is arguably the most complex service and it's become much more complex in the past few years. In my work, typically 94% of all email traffic hitting the server is filtered out as spam. So, the 6% that is allowed through is the stuff most of us see and are spending time and resources filtering out the 20-40% additional unwanted spam that the host let through because if they tightened it down any further the risk of false positives would become too great. I spend way more time on the mail service aspects of my job than the web services, and mail problems occupy at least 80% of my troubleshooting logs. So, while email seems more 'simple' than the exotic and bandwidth intensive services like video chat, voip, and web2 transactions, compared to the amount of wasted bandwidth and cpu cycles filtering packets, I think email is the number one problem service for most host providers. We tried to depend upon it for mission-critical communications, and it was never designed for that initially, and the spammers are making certain it won't achieve that status at least in the near future. If anything, email is your least dependable Internet service. Combine this with the growing array of user configurations, email clients, forwarding/retrieving/syncing scenarios, and user experience, and you may find yourself uttering a little prayer now and then for the poor email administrators and support personnel.+
    [end of sermon - thanx for letting me get that off my chest; I feel better now! I'll feel a lot better when my email is flowing smoothly, but that's out of my hands for now.]

  • Mac Mail doesn't show new messages

    When I open up mail, it shows the little orange circle with "2" in the center, standing for how many new messages I have. But as soon as I close the app, the orange notification goes away. So if I was browsing in Safari, I would never know if there was a new message in my mailbox. Is there any way to fix this?

    I checked email several minutes ago.  Activity Monitor now shows it as using 0% of CPU time.  When that's the case it's now using any power at all.  Every so often it will "wake up" to check for new mail.  When that happens it will briefly use some CPU power.  That interval can be controlled with the setting for "Check for new messages" in the General panel of Mail's preferences.
    You didn't ask about RAM, but when Mail is idle I'd expect it put minimal demands on RAM.

  • Why Mail doesn't show content of emails?

    Since some days Apple Mail doesn't show always the content of an e-mail message. In the window at the right hand of the columns with folders and incoming mail and in the fullscreen mode only the headers (To, From, Subject) are visible, not the content (text, images, attachments). If there is an attachment, I can see that by clicking 'show in Quicklook'.
    The problem started a couple of days ago. And sometimes Mail shows the content after receiving an e-mail, immediately after a first view no more.
    Rebuilding the mailbox doesn't change this.
    Thanks for your suggestions to solve this problem.

    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 the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". 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 corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • PC Suite doesn't show the messages in memory card

    Hei,
    Phone - 6210 Navigator
    PC Suite - 7.1
    Memory in use: Memory card
    When I open the  Communication Centre from PC Suite, it doesn't show the messages. In the left pane, number of messages in the folders is shown as zero. This happens if the memory is set to memory card.
    On the other hand, if I set the memory to Phone memory, the messages are shown properly. Why is this happening and what's the solution?
    When I tried to take a backup, all data, except messages, is backed up. 
    Few days back, I could access all the messages via PC Suite. It worked fine. But, now, there's some problem.
    I've lots of messages in the memory card & I wanna move them to different folders. How else can I do it?
    -Babloo 

    Hello,
    I think I found the cause of the problem. There's some problem with the memory card.
    I set the memory for Camera also to memory card and when I take a snap, something something happens. If I set the memory to phone memory, it works fine. 
    But, I can access the files/folders in the memory card both from the mobile & via PC Suite. 
    Now, my question is "How do I retrieve the messages from the memory card?"
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • My mail stamp logo shows 7 messages but when I click to read them there is nothing there. It also shows 7 unread messages next to my icloud email address when I open the window.  I am an original .mac email account holder now it seems like I have 3 emails

    My mail stamp logo shows 7 messages but when I click to read them there is nothing there. It also shows 7 unread messages next to my icloud email address when I open the window.  I am an original .mac email account holder now it seems like I have 3 emails an @mac.com, an @me.com and an @icloud.com.
    I'm so confused!  Is there a way to combined these all into one?

  • Mail will not show individual messages, has this been fixed yet??

    Greetings everyone,
    Finally downloaded Yosemite on my Mac, and had been warned about mail issues... but I did it anyway.  Now the mail app opens and all of my mailboxes are there, but it says "no message selected".  I see that I have new messages (from Gmail and also a Yahoo account), but am unable to access them.
    I can compose and send, but cannot see what I sent after I hit "send" on the email.
    So very frustrating, was hoping there would be an update/fix by now....?!??  Searching for a fix has been just as frustrating, it seems that everyone is experiencing different types of bugs.
    Appreciate the help!

    I've seen this issue too a few times. And found a "solution". But first, describe the problem:
    Launching Mail, it will download new mail, but never shows any messages in any mailboxes.
    Try to close the mail Message Viewer or Quit the app, and it hangs with beachball.
    Force Quit and re-launch the Mail app and still can't see any messages.
    SOLUTION: Log out and back in again, and Mail behaves normally.
    After Force Quit, sent the crash log to Apple a few times ... so maybe they're working on it.
    If you have this same problem and have to Force Quit, try sending the crash log to Apple ... lots of these will get someone's attention.
    I'm guessing that some behind-the-scenes process (responsible for showing mail in mailboxes) is crashing or caught in a loop.
    Logging out/in restarts that process.
    But haven't had time to investigate further yet ...

  • How to get mail to open to newest message in mailbox

    Whenever I open Mail, it defaults to showing messages from March of this year instead of the newest message. So I have to spend time scrolling down to the newest message.
    Is there a way to get it to open mail to the newest messages by default?
    Thanks!

  • Mail doesn't show me the e-mail address

    Mail should show me the e-mail address, but it doesn't. I mean.. if I receive a mail from a my friend and Mail thinks it's a spam mail, it put it in the spam directory.
    I drag and drop it in the inbox mails, but if I do that, the e-mail address and object disappear!
    If I click it, I can see the preview of the mail and the email address and object appear again, but if I try to reply to the e-mail, Mail doesn't know (again) the mail address where to send the reply.. so I need to type it by myself. Is it normal?
    Here a screenshot:
    http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/3755/mailbugig2.jpg

    Oh I see... I'm sorry, iGodess, I should have looked at your screenshot first (I thought you meant something else just by reading), I'm really sorry.
    Am I correct: You see the name but not the address in the mailbox viewer (the upper part).
    What I see in your screenshot is normal. I'm afraid you can't change that, at least I found no way.
    What you see in the mailbox viewer is the name of the sender as you would enter it in Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts > choose one account > Account Information > Full name.
    If he wouldn't enter anything there, his eMail address will show in place of the (missing) full name.
    Your other problem related to replying with no usable address automatically entered: I guess this doesn't happen with all your messages, correct?
    Does it only happen with one friend of yours?
    If so he might have defined his Reply-To header wrong, which also could be a cause his messages land in your junk folder: Mail.app thinks "this can't be legitimate".

  • Mail doesn' t show preview of jpeg's

    I have noticed that Apple Mail doesn't always show a preview of pictures (gif's and jpeg's) in the preview window. Sometimes it shows a picture and sometimes there is only a "?" in a frame and I have to double click on the attached icon to see it... Does anybody know why?

    Hi maui888,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you mean that you are not seeing the first couple of lines of the email in the message list, you may want to check the "List Preview" setting in the Viewing preferences, as noted in the following article:

  • Apple mail doesn't show mail content when selected?

    I have done nothing new or strange with this application but since a few days ago I couldn't see mail content when I selected the emails.
    I can see the new emails It doesn't show their content when I select them. It simply says no message selected.
    Also when I double click to open the mail on a new page the application crashes. Any ideas? This is so frustrating!
    Btw, I'm using a Macbook Pro.

    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:

              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing 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.
    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. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • IPhone Mail App not showing all messages

    I have set my iphone mail settings to show 500 recent messages, but it only shows 10 messages - how do i get past this problem?

    What Kind of email account is it.
    If the account is Gmail or Yahoo, those are IMAP accounts which all messages can be retrieved from the server over and over again if you remove the account and re-add it.
    Now if you are using like a SBC-Global, ATT.net, Bellsouth, Anything that is a POP3 Account it will only download new message and not past ones.

  • Mail slow to show sent messages

    I'm suffering from the spinning pizza in my Mail sent box, ever since I sent a couple of password-protected PDF forms yesterday (1.4Mb each). Trying to delete these two messages from my Sent box makes the Mail Trash mailbox cog spin endlessly and the best I can achieve is that these two messages change to light grey font in the list but they won't go to the Trash! When I invoke the contextual menu on them, it invites me to undelete them - so Mail obviously thinks they are deleted, even if it can't de-list them.
    The problem is contagious and clicking on any other of my sent messages takes forever to display them... although they do eventually display.
    Nothing wrong with disks or permissions but when I go to Activity Monitor and try to inspect the Mail process while it is misbehaving, I'm told that Mail isn't responding (albeit the Mail app icon in the Dock doesn't agree with that diagnosis) -- and then it takes forever to quit Activity Monitor.
    This problem persists through reboots; and the only clues in Console's logs are:
    09/07/2008 17:46:15 Mail[222] Failed to get message data for <LibraryMessage: 0x188e89c0, library id: 40472>
    and
    09/07/2008 17:54:24 Mail[222] could not create DOMRange for {1767, 34}
    and a number of font-related messages although these fonts are not embedded in my PDFs, eg:
    09/07/2008 16:28:25 /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail[222] ATS AutoActivation: Disable Font ID 65729 (Frutiger) because it doesn't belong to family "ITC Zapf Dingbats".
    09/07/2008 16:28:25 /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail[222] ATS AutoActivation: Disable Font ID 65737. (no family name)
    ...although presumably Acrobat Pro uses Dingbats as the default font for creating checkboxes which are in my PDF form.
    Any enlightenment will be much appreciated.
    Simon

    Dov,
    I should also have asked if there are any Sent mailbox further down in the Sidebar, below Drafts? With most IMAP accounts, when there is a Sent folder immediately below the single Inbox (but indented) for an account after setup, then the proper procedure is to highlight that mailbox folder, and click on the Mailbox in the Men Bar, and select Use This Mailbox For __. When not a folder on the server, the options following this Command are Gray.
    I cannot get a good mental image of what you are seeing, however, so take no action until we can both understand the situation. Do you know how to take screenshots?

  • Search in Mail doesn't show results after Migrating

    If I search for a word or an adr. in Mail nothing show up. Unless I've just read the mail. Like that newly read email is the only one being searched in ..?
    This happened after moving my user account to a new MacPro with Migration Assistant.
    (first a clean install of 10.7 on a new disk in bay 1 on the "new" MacPro and updating to 10.7.5 - Starting up from the new disk with my "old" HD in bay 2 on the new machine and using Migration Assistant to move all my data over to the new disk in bay 1)
    Same Mac OSX version, but MacPro version from 1.1 to 3.1
    Also Spotlight doesn't show results.
    Is there a way to make a new "search cache" or whatever that overview file is called ...
    Suddenly now, when not getting any search results, I see how much I use search in Mail and Spotlight ... !
    Thanks

    Try posting this in the 10.7 Mail forum. You'll get more help there.
