It won't show on the other devices or website if enabled as POP.
If you have it set as IMAP, open Mail account preferences and check to store messages on server in Mailbox Behaviors.

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.

Show Time only in inputDate component

Hi,
I have a requirement to show Time only field, and later update this Time to the a Date field in the database with this time portion only.
I used the convertDateTime on the inputDate as follows:
<af:inputDate label="Start Date" id="id1" required="true"
binding="#{pageFlowScope.calEntryBean.startDate}"
visible="true"
partialTriggers="soc4">
<af:convertDateTime pattern="HH:mm"
timeZone="#{session_resourceProfile.userTimeZone}"/>
</af:inputDate>
It is displaying the Time correctly, but when launch the date picker, it still shows the calendar plus the time selection. Since the patterm is "HH:mm", the date in the calendar popup is incorrect. Is there any way to hide the calendar and shows only the time selector?
Please advise.
Thanks.

I tried using convertDateTime under inputText component. It works fine displaying the time portion correctly with the timezone converted too, but when getting the time value from the inputText when saving, it is one hour off. Somehow it has some issue,s suspecting it's the winter and summer time, so there is one hour off.
Hence, I was trying to see if there is any other solutions.
Thanks.

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.]

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".

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.

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:
Mail (Yosemite): Viewing preferences

What is a great calendar app? Currently using iPad standard app but doesn't show times

I am looking for a calendar app that links to outlook exchange on my iPad. I am using the current standard app on the iPad and it doesn't show the times. Any suggestions?

Howdy squeakyred2,
If I understand correctly you are getting the alerts from the events that you are creating on your Calendar app, but they do not show in the app once they are created. It seems to me that the calendar you are adding them to may not be checked, thereby making it hidden. To check this, first open the Calendars app and tap Calendars at the bottom:
Calendar at a glance - iPhone
Then verify the calendars you have showing. It should look similar to this:
Use multiple calendars - iPhone
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Meeting request accepted in Mac Mail doesn't show up in iCal

I am testing out Mac Mail as I am trying to move from Outlook 2007. I sent myself an Outlook meeting request from another machine and it showed up in Mac Mail as an .ics attachment I can open it and accept it, but it doesn't show up in iCal, which through my research on the web it seems it should.
Any ideas why it is not working?

Just a guess, but the item you accepted might be in a calendar category that is unchecked, that is, not being shown.
Make sure Calendar List is viewable (View/Show Calendar List)
On the left side of the calendar is a list of calendars (if they're not visible, click the Calendar drop down).
If there are a few calendars listed (Personal, Work, etc.) make sure they're all checked. Toggling the check box will hide/show the events.

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:
~/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 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.

Show Time on "Today" and "Yesterday" mail?

Is there any way to force Mail to show the sent Time as well as the date?

lol..How funny. The "Today" that's showing has plenty of space, but you were right. I had to almost double the width of the column and it did show up after that.
Thanks

Mail doesn't show attachments or shows multiple time of the same attachment

Dear All,
In our organisation we use Exchange 2007 with Roll-up 3-v2 and we have many members who use Mac Snow Leopard and Lion standart mail program.
When we send out emails with attachnemt those thins happen:
Items with several attachments appear to have the same attachment added several times, or to have only one attachment,no matter how many there actually are.
Attached images become embedded.
We checked the mails with a barrowed Mac (yeah yeah we are PC users)
The problem occur regardless of thedownload protocol used – POP3 or IMAP4
The same e-mail item viewed through the ISP’s web interface appears as expected – all attachments visible and thesignature graphic visible and accessible
Other non-default mail client such as Thinderbird works fine.
The same e-mail item sent from other ISPsappear as expected, with all attachments visible and accessible.
We dig out for information and and I found this https://discussions.apple.com/message/12897672?messageID=12897672
related with Snow Leopard. Many of Mac user has upgraded to Lion but the problem is still there.
We are currently testin Roll-up 4 for the Excange server but as it has been withdrown from WSUS we are very suspicious that will solve the issue.
We are despereate to find a solution in order to provide better service to our Mac user member and we need help.
Unfortunately switching the systems that we use is not an option for the moment.
Any thougt, any help highly appreciated.
