Mail Event has missing headers

A client of mine is experiencing problems sending mail events. A number of the headers are missing from the .ics file.
Client is using Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 on a MacBookPro5. iCal requires no software updates.

Calendar "Mail Event" has embarrassing consequences..

I'd be very interested to hear if anyone else has this problem or can repeat it. It's a pretty familiar business use case:
1. I receive a meeting invite from Colleague A (Windows Outlook) that has myself and several other recipients on it. I accept it.
2. I find out another Colleague B (Mac Calendar user) never received the invite, and they ask me to forward it.
3. I open Calendar, find the event, right click and select "Mail Event" and enter Colleague B's email address.
4. Colleague B opens the message, and the attachment, and then closes them. He does nothing else.
5. A new invite is automatically created and sent to *everyone* on the distribution FROM Colleague B, making Colleague B look like he's sent a duplicate invite (and is therefore hijacking the meeting!)
6. Recipients click Accept and now Colleague B receives the accept notifications instead of Colleague A.
This is not inline with the expected behavior which is Colleague B receives an invite request and can Accept that which responds to the meeting owner (Colleague A).
Thoughts?
Is there a workaround / better way to forward a meeting invite?

I'm having this problem too, and I have all the latest updates installed. Not sure where to go next.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

The mail window has overlapping buttons/headers

the mail window has overlapping buttons/headers and there is an email that wont let me delete

The double arrows do have a blue background. I have no doubt that I'm in Full Screen mode when they appear. However, when I click on the double arrows I can view the Mail screen perfectly. I assume clicking the double arrows exits Full Screen mode. I have also clicked Exit Full Screen from the menu. The issue is that my Mail app is very different from what it's typically like. It now hides the Mail menu bar until I move the pointer to above the screen. I cannot see any desk top from around the Mail screen and I cannot move the Mail screen at all. Also, the display of a new mail message; either one created or one opened looks like a something in the Preview app looks like. There is limited access to mail options and no option to Save as Draft. Also, there are no expand, minimize, close buttons (green, yellow, and red buttons) on any Mail screen.
By the way, these issues began after I used Mirror Screen with my Apple TV.
Thank you for your assistance.

ICal events are missing Day and Month in date

Hello, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere - this is such a weird fault I was not sure how to search for it.
My iCal events are missing the Day and Month in their start and end dates - it just shows a 4 digit year which can only be edited as a 4 digit number. All my events are in their correct places but I am unable to create new multiday events.
This applies to old and new events alike. I tried trashing my iCal prefs file but it made no difference.
Anyone any ideas? I am using iCal 3.0.8 on Leopard 10.5.8.
Thanks in advance.

Worked it out - I was using a custom date format to give me day and date in the menu bar - reverting to one of the standard built in 'British' works - but then I lose my day in the menu bar....

I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

Having been on Thunderbird for some years I have suddenly got the following message when trying to send mail.
An (SMTP) error occurred while sending mail. The server responded: Requested action aborted: This mail account has sent too many messages in a short amount of time. Please try later..
I have checked the SMTP server settings in tools, account settings and they are as they have always been. Is there something I have missed?

Sending through web mail is totally irrelevant to using an SMTP server. The message even says it is from the server. Why do you think this is a Thunderbird problem.
The provider has put in place measures to keep people from spamming other email recipients using thier SMTP server. You have seen the result of those measures.

Mail for Exchange Missing Functions E71 v E72

Hi All,
So I have been using an E71 with Mail for Exhcange for some time now and find it is very good.
However
I have an E72 with Mail for Exhcange already installed on the device BUT it clearly has missing functions whihc I had on the previous version on Mail fo Exchangeo n the E71.
These are
Comp Directory - Very useful for looking up contacts details from the GAB
View Log in Mail for Exchange. This is useful to see what the error is for a reason why the device may not be syncing with the MS Exchange Server.
Full resync in mail for Exchange. This again useful for support as other users will tell you that if the two systems have got their wires twisted, a full resync can fix the problem!
What version of the software do I have? Helps for future support and upgrades.
So Mr Nokia Software Developer. When can we have these functions added? Do we have to drop this software tool and device....
MODERATOR'S NOTE:
We have edited your post. Please be advised that feedback on Nokia devices are accepted in the forum provided that they are written in an acceptable manner such as tone and the choice of words.

As far as the version number goes - it's not a misprint, it's just they way Nokia numbering scheme works. build 2.09 is version 2.9. Similarly in Nokia Maps build 3.04 is called version 3.4... go figure.

Sent mail delays or missing

I have seen the posts about sent mail using MobileMe. As indicated by some respondents, it seems to me that there is a problem here that has not been addressed and that it is a recent one. Although my settings have not changed at all, sent mail is either missing or very much delayed in showing up on my computer and this is a recent phenomenon. Can anyone point to an "official" response from Apple that indicates what is going on and what, if anything, we can do to fix the problem. Thanks.

I have a user that is experiencing this problem on a G5 Mac Tower. After migrating his data from a laptop, he stating that certain e-mails are not showing up in his sent mail. Recipients of said e-mails are receiving them, but this is a problem for him. I can suggest the workaround but it will add an extra step to move these e-mails to the sent mail folder. Can anyone help, please? Thanks in advance!

Cannot Get Mail - Mail app has been frozen, no new downloads, since 7/14.

My mail app has been frozen since 7/14, and usually it just says it was updated on 7/2/14. However, occasionally, it gives me the message: "The mail server 'imap.gmail.com' is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."
Needless to say, I have done this. I have quit the app many times, reset the iPad, and finally last night I broke down and downloaded the 8.3 update (I was using 7.something before), and I am STILL getting this message and no new emails!
I can check on my phone and computer browsers just fine. Is there something I'm missing here? Really appreciate any help anyone can give. I finally got fed up not having this functionality.
THANK YOU!!!!

I should mention the only other idea I've had is to delete my gmail account from my mail app, and re-add it later?

How Configuring Channel to use Mail Event Generator with a "String" Message

Hello,
I would like use a Mail Event Generator to receive String message.
The BEA example is :
<channel name ="SampleEGEmailChannel" messageType="xml" qualifiedMessageType="oagpo:PROCESS_PO_007" qualifiedMetadataType="eg:EmailEventGenerator"/>
How change this example to accept messageType="string" ?
Thanks for your help !!

Thank you for your help :-)
In fact I try to use messageType="string" and try to remove the qualifiedMessageType (but to uses Email Generator you must keep qualifiedMetadataType attributes ) and It has not worked.
Why ? Because I haven't restarted the server.
Conclusion: When you have problem, think to restart integration server !!

'mail event' creates empty calendar file

I can send ical events by adding invitees, but when I use the control-click 'mail event' method, the ics that gets attached to the mail is empty (when you try to add it to ical it errors with 'This calendar file is empty. No new new events have been added to your ical calendars'. This has worked previously, and works on other macs, no problem.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I'm having this problem too, and I have all the latest updates installed. Not sure where to go next.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Is there a way to indicate that an event has additional notes?

I have appointments with additional notes in my calendar. I do not seem to see a way to know that there are additional notes unless I double-click on the event and it opens up the new window.
Is there a way to indicate that an event has additional notes?
Thanks.

Sorry for joining this thread so late, but I just was searching for an answer to the missing icons (notes, recurring event, etc.) and have already submitted feedback, but I noticed that it might be better to give feedback in the specific iCal area: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
I gave feedback in both areas, Mac OS X and iCal.

Two bugs when trying to mail events

Bug #1: When I right click on an event and choose "Mail Event", the mailed event attachment (.ics file) has no time information in it, which means that it is completely useless to anyone. This happens for any events I create in iCal.
If I open the .ics file in a text editor, this is all it contains:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
*X-WR-CALNAME:ASMGCS My Meeting*
*PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iCal 3.0//EN*
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
VERSION:2.0
METHOD:PUBLISH
END:VCALENDAR
Bug #2: Also when mailing an event, the email body message reads: "(null) informs you of the event: My Meeting, scheduled for 21 April 2008 at 08:00. To add it to your calendar, click the link below".
Why does it start with "(null)" instead of my name (or at least something appropriate) and why is there no line break before the attachment. The attachment icon immediately follows the message, without even a space, which looks really ugly.
Are these actually bugs, or have I got some settings wrong somewhere (in which case, I'll get ready to eat some humble pie)?

Bernard Harte wrote:
#1 May be a bug as mine works as expected.
#2 The null may be because you don't have your card selected in Address Book: select it and choose Make this My Card from the Card menu. The attachment icon is where you describe it to be. If you don't like it, the only option would be to send feedback to Apple. Actually, this is not quite true: there is likely a way of altering the AppleScript that iCal is using to control Mail, but this would get overwritten each time iCal was updated and is probably not worth messing around with.
See if my suggestion to #2 works. If it does, but the .ics still doesn't contain full data there are some further steps that I can suggest.
Wow. As soon as I read your reply, I knew it was going to fix bug (or rather, issue) #2, but in fact it solved the whole thing! I just switched to a new iMac recently and had never spotted that I hadn't set a "My Card" in Addressbook.
Thanks!

Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail - any solutions?

I notice that Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail. After running for some hours, I noticed there were 6 emails in my Gmail account that had not synced over the past hour.
In the meanwhile, for safety's sake (don't want to miss emails!) I'm back to Mailplane. But I wonder if anybody knows of a solution to this long term problem first introduced in Mavericks. Works fine in iOS Mail though.
Thanks,
doug

I don't think we'll ever have a "best of both worlds" Doug. I've used Gmail since the week it launched the first beta in 2004, and it's always been a bit of a love-hate relationship for me (mostly love). With the demise of the Google Notifier for Mac, I went with Mailplane, but even it has problems. Like when I see my iPhone update with new mail and I'm looking at Mailplane and it won't update at times with even a forced refresh. I often have to close/reopen it to see new messages. But, it's hard to live without my Google Calendar only a tab click away, one of the primary reasons I use Mailplane, that plus changing view zoom sticks with Mailplane and won't with Gmail.
For years I've thought Gmail labels were the perfect filing solution, but over the past few weeks I've been analyzing just how much I really use that feature, and for me...it's not all that much. I think I could simplify my life by putting everything into appropriate folders (as in all other email apps). Apple doesn't realize just how much money they're losing by not allowing people to use private domains with iCloud mail...which I would do in a heartbeat just because it would work perfectly with Mail.app. I would pay even more than I currently pay Google for this solution with Google Apps Business. So, I'm actually on the verge of moving my private domain to the best email service I can find and then using it with Mail.app. The problem here, of course, is I'll lose the best spam control on the planet (Gmail). So, as you say, there simply is not a "best" solution for all these things. I'll at least try a new email service first with some other domain to see how I like it before moving my primary email.
Lastly, the other thing that incenses me is synching of flags between iOS and Apple Mail. It works fine between Gmail and iOS Mail, since all I care about is whether a message is starred/flagged or not. But using Apple Mail, when I flag a message it will not show as flagged in their own iOS Mail, which is incomprehensible, given they built both apps.
If you find a great solution or discover anything new...please post it here, Doug. Thanks.
