Mail for Mac OS X Lion: where's the message content?

Suddenly, the panel that shows me message content disappeared (when the program was made smaller -- but not minimized). Now that it's larger, I can't find that extra panel I always had, that let me read a message's actual content.
And I can't find any in any of the menus that would seem to help.
Can you?

Look to the right-hand frame for the Mail main window. That frame border should be a bit thicker than the others, and have a small 'dot' about halfway down. Click and hold on that and drag to the left.

  • Outlook for Mac with Mountain Lion - where are my folders ?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and the folders I had On My Mac disappeared.  Does anyone know how i can retreive them?  Then how do I import them into Apple Mail as I am done with Outlook.

    What is "Windows for Mac software"? Do you mean Office for Mac? If you mean Office for Mac, what version do you have? Mountain Lion only supports Office for Mac 2008 and newer. Mountain Lion does not support any PPC programs. If this is your situation you must upstae your Office for Mac to the newest version.

  • Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari?  I used this a lot and really miss it!

    I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in?  I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer.  I really miss this capability!

    Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

  • I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer

    I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer. It came with Mt Lion on it

    You have a couple of options for booting OS X.
    One is to use the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to copy the Mountain Lion Recovery HD to a USB thumb drive. A 4GB thumb drive is sufficient as the Disk Assistant only needs 1GB.
    A second option would be to use a cloning software like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your existing Macintosh HD to an external USB drive. This would give you an external bootable copy of what you have now.

  • Is there an application like "snag it" for mac?  Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately?

    Is there an application like "snag it", which is part of the Microsoft Office suite for mac?  Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately?  If it is a separate purchse, what would you recommend?

    Built-in to OS X is the ability to capture an entire screen or selected portions. Snaps are saved to the Desktop by default:
    COMMAND-SPACE-3 snaps the entire screen.
    COMMAND-SPACE-4 lets you select a portion of the screen to snap.
    In your Utilities folder is a utility called Grab that provides similar functionality and more.
    Then there are dozens of third-party solutions such as SnapNDrag and SnapzProX. You will find them and others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Most have trial versions or trial times so you can test them out.

  • Mail for Mac on new hard drive won't import Mail from old hd

    I recently installed an additional hard drive (running Tiger), but I kept my old one (running Panther), too, to use as a backup.
    After resolving a few snags, the data and apps transferred over OK, but two days ago I (very foolishly) tried to make a change in the name I use as Administrator (or at least that's what I meant to do), and all the apps on my new hard drive forgot their passwords, preferences, etc.
    What a pain!
    I'll eventually get all the preferences, etc., set; but Mail on the new hd also lost everything--addresses, trash, sent messages; and that's got me baffled.
    My old hd still has Mail on it (including addresses, etc.), but I haven't been able to import data from it to Mail on the new hd.
    In the new Mail, under the File menu, when I choose "Import Mailboxes" and select the button for Mail for Mac OS X, then navigate to Mail on my old hd, it's faint and can't be selected.
    Suggestions of any kind would really be appreciated. (And from now on, I'll just live with my name being misspelled as Administrator!)
    Thanks a lot,

    Richard,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    When trying to import a pre-Tiger mailbox created with Mail, use type "Other", instead of type OSX.
    However, if you can replace any copy of the Mail folder on your Tiger drive, and any com.apple.mail.plist in the Preferences folder of your Tiger drive with copies from your Panther drive, Mail will open to say it is ready to import Mailboxes, and will then convert all the mailboxes at once.
    However when finished, you will need to check for leftover files, that can become problematic, and to check to see if full conversion took place. See:

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

  • Mail for MAC - Unable to handle 2 accounts pointing to the same server

    Hi,
    I have two accounts on MAIL pointing to the same server.
    I am unable to send/receive mails from one of them, since they both point to the same SMTP server.
    Is this a restriction on MAIL for MAC?
    How does one over come this.
    I'd written to Apple support and even made an update suggestion.
    But obviously they dont care. It''s been over 8 months since I wrote.
    And I am seriously going MAD with this problem!
    I've even switched 3 ISP.
    Please help.

    Hi BobTheFisherman,
    Thanks for responding.
    So while I understand how mails work on mail servers with UID's and PWD's ...Here's the deal.
    When setting up an account, MAIL asks for the SMTP profile setting, (which includes the SMTP mail server). It then creates the SMTP profile.
    So if I have two accounts, I set up account 1 with the mail.xxx.com as mail server.
    While setting up the second account, I again use mail.xxx.com (as the SMTP server)
    So when if I have set up account 1 as the first account with the SMTP server ... while sending mail from the second account, it takes the the settings of account 1, and then the mail reply comes to account 1 instead of account two.
    Does this explain my problem?
    Do let me know, cause I reall need an solution.
    Thanks again.

  • Converting from Entourage to Mail for Mac on OS 10.5.6

    Can anyone give me tips on how to convert from Entourage 2008 for Mac to Mail for Mac. I am on version 10.5.6 OS. Also, I have some files on Outlook (windows PC) that I want to move over to the mail including old emails, addresses, etc.
    Any tips with specific instructions and other hints as to what to consider that won't transfer would be appreciated

    OK
    Scenario 1
    (assumes Mobile Me membership)
    Set up Apple Mail in your Mac Pro, iMac, ... and set preferences in Mobile Me to include email stuff
    Login to MacBook Pro, Air, ... other iMac, other Mac Pro > enter mobile me stuff there and Bongo! Apple Mail on the second machine synchronizes with stuff set in Apple Mail on first machine.
    Turn on the iPhone > Bongo! iPhone Mail will show the same email accounts as on the other two machines described above.
    One does not need to re-enter stuff for the sake of it. Mobile Me makes it easy.
    On the second machine create a new email account or add an existing one to Apple Mail > Bongo! Details updated on the first machine and also on iPhone.
    Scenario 2
    (assumes preferences set in Mobile Me for calendars and contacts)
    Create new contacts in each of the three machines (that is the first machine, the second machine and the iPhone) > Bongo! Details will be synched across all three machines (okay, iPhone calls them contacts and the other machines call it Address Book but ... )
    Create appointments in Calendar or iCal in ... well, they are synched as well.
    Scenario 3
    On a PC, away from each of the three machines detailed above. Need contacts and calendars (yes, iCal and iPhone calendar support multiple calendars with an overview summary of all, yep, ALL calendars.
    Fire up Safari on the PC (Safari 4 seems sweet) > go to www.me.com > enter username and password of Mobile Me account > Bongo!
    I suppose it may also be a time thing in sense that many people, self included, might recall a time when every calendar needed every detail keying in (other computer operating systems running different applications). Sure there were import/export utilities or thunks bet these tended to be at variance with each other regarding ordering of data fields, field parameters and in my own experience a bad import though swift was less reliable than re-keying in the details.
