Mail forwarding bug?

In one of my Apple Mail POP accounts, when I forward a message, the message goes through to the destination just fine. But the little arrow that should appear to the left of the message, indicting that it has been forwarded, does not appear. (And, yes, the forwarded message is in my sent box.) This started happening right after I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
And, investigating further, when I click on one of the arrows of earlier forwarded messages, rather than open the forwarded message in a new window, I get the message:
"Mail was unable to find your reply to the message “Subscription Order: 5 Years”. You may have deleted the message."
This is weird, since it was a forwarded message (not a reply), and , of course, these message are in my sent box.
I don't know if theses bugs are related, and the second bug could have been happening earlier nd I didn't know it. But the new bug, the arrow not appearing, started with my Snow Leopard upgrade.
And my other mail accounts (all my accounts are POP) work fine.
Unfortunately the buggy account is the one that I need to use to forward messages to my business partner, and it really helps to see which ones have already been forwarded -- but I can no longer quickly see that.
Can anyone suggest anything to fix this? I've already run the Disk Utility permissions repair ...
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I have a lot of mailboxes, most of which are working fine, in several domains, so before I do this ...
1) If I make a backup copy of the old prefs file before I delete it, and I run into a problem, will I simply be able to copy the old prefs file back to where it was and have my setup the way it was?
yes. the mail preference file only contains mail preferences. the actual mailboxes live in home directory/library/mail. they will not be touched by this process.
2) When I create new preferences, will I still see the little arrows/links next to old messages (in the mailboxes that are working correctly now) indicating that the message was replied to or forwarded? It would be a drag to lose those.
yes.
3) As an alternative to creating new prefs for all my mailboxes, what do you think about this idea... Might it work if I create a new mailbox (with new prefs, I assume) for each of my flawed accounts and simply drag the old messages into the new milbox? And then delete the old one? Would this screw something up?
you can't do that. there is just one mail preference file for everything.
Thanks!

  • OS X Mail forward Major bug

    After upgrading to OS X Yosemite i noticed this strange bug
    I normally have a quotation template mail which i send to all my clients and everytime i get a new request,i forward the same mail just by editing the content and send it to the new address .However after upgrading to 10.10 i realised that the new mail also goes to to the old recipient and it shows up as conversation inspite of me not marking it to the older client.This problem comes and goes.
    For ex. [email protected] needed a quote
    I sent an email with text,picture and quotation attached in pdf to [email protected]
    then [email protected] had an enquiry .So i forwarded the same mail by editing the quotation text of the .pdf file and changing the text in the mail forward and attaching the new pdf quotation file.This saves me time to retype the whole covering letter and attaching the same pictures.Just the new edited .pdf has to be attached
    However After sending all these mails show up as a conversation under sent mails ,where in the mail sent to [email protected] goes to [email protected] inspite of me not marking the mail to [email protected]

    I'll have to do some testing to determine if I see the same thing. Are you certain the emails went to both and are not just grouped together as a "conversation" in Mail?
    You might want to consider making a Stationery Template for your quotes. Here is a tutorial: http://www.chriswrites.com/create-custom-html-email-templates-in-the-os-x-mail-a pp/
    The path to the Stationery for Step 3 is this in Yosemite:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support/Mail/Stationery/Apple/Contents/Resources/Custom/Contents/Resources/
    As mentioned here: https://willow4u.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/custom-html-email-stationary-os-x-yose mite/
    That way, you can create your boilerplate in the Stationery and just add the PDF (and any additional comments for that particular customer).

  • How can I send just 1 message for 2 mail accounts under mail forwarding

    Hi everyone
    I have a question for mail forwarding.
    I have 2 inbound mail servers,4 outbound servers and many store servers.
    User A set his mail forwarding address to B, and B set his mail forwarding address to A.
    So 2 guys can receive each others message.
    In this case, If two users have same "mailhost' value(ex, x.test.com), forwarding mail goes just once for each accounts.
    If "mailhost' values , however, are different (ex, x.test.com and y.test.com - and also two mail servers connected as internal server),
    forwarding mail goes 4 times for each accounts.
    So sender gets 4 messages and receiver gets 5 messages.
    How can I set mail server configuration to send just once not 4 times for 2 users?
    Any advices would be welcomed.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    User A set his mail forwarding address to B, and B
    set his mail forwarding address to A.
    So 2 guys can receive each others message.You have just created a mail loop. This is not a good thing.
    Any advices would be welcomed.I would advise creating a mailing list which has both userA and userB as members, and then have emails sent to that address OR have a third account which they can both access (IMAP shared folders) and have email sent to that OR have them share each-others INBOX.
    The fact that userA & B didn't get multiple copies when they were on the same mailhost is due to good luck only.

  • Address mapping / mail forwarding (equivalent to virtusertable in sendmail)

    Is there an equivalent setting somewhere with Snow Leopard Server, to do address mapping, as you would under sendmail on Linux? (with /etc/mail/virtusertable)
    i.e. create address maps, for mail forwarding. if mail comes to this email address on the server, forward it to this address (even outside the server on another domain).

    look into here or elsewhere in the postfix docs:

  • Mail forwarding question

    Hello,
    I have added mail forwarding throguh delegated admin for a user.
    The issue I am observing is the mail box which has forwarder entry also has emails and they are not getting deleted.
    My question is whether can I set something where in the message gets deleted after forwarding it.
    I am using iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.20

    You are indeed using an old version of Messaging Server.
    5.2p2 is available free, and is later than what you're using.
    5.2hf1.10 is current, and is available through Tech Support.
    All that being said, when you turn forwarding on, you likely left "mailbox" delivery on. that means that the messages will be both forwarded AND delivered to the mailbox.
    Uncheck the "mailbox" delivery, and you won't see messages getting delivered there.
    The DA will show a checkbox next time you go that user, though. Not to worry....

  • ICloud : automatic mail forward doesn't work

    Hi,
    I've setup an automatic mail forwarding through icloud.com mail application, in preferences.
    At first, it worked.
    A few days later it doesn't.
    I've tryed to disable, enable, re-type the destination email address (gmail), nothing works : mails won't be forwarded, but they get deleted (I checked the option, this one works).
    I've contacted Apple Support Express Lane, who reset my preferences on the server (it changed nothing to the preferences I see) : there is no result on this one either.
    When I forward an email manually to the same gmail address : it works.
    Any of you having the same issue ?

    Update. It appears that auto forwarding works except for emails sent from a gmail account associated with the "forward to" address. If I send from my comcast account it works, but if I send from my gmail account, using the gmail or comcast address, it doesn't. On the plus side, mail sent from other gmail accounts apeears to work.  So other than for testing purposes, this may not be a big deal.

  • Grant mail forwarding privileges? - OWA 2013

    In a locally hosted Exchange 2013 environment I would like to allow some users to be able to go through /owa and enable forward all mail to '[email protected]' I have it set up but nothing is happening. Is there a rule that needs to be enabled to allow
    mail forwarding, I don't want to have to create external contacts for each external address they send to.
    Let me know!
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Auto Forwarding is by default not enabled in an Exchange environment.
    It is a organizational setting that can be enabled on a "remote domain basis"
    only  and not for an individual user.
    Set-RemoteDomain
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997857(v=exchg.150).aspx
    If you don't want to do that (=understandable) then your only option is to create MailContacts that your users can use in the rules they create.

  • Mail forwarding in Lion

    In Workgroup Manager on Snow Leopard Server when you edited a users account settings, there was a "Mail" tab which you could enable/disable the mailbox, or, have the email forwarded to an external mail account.
    So where is the equivalent option to do this in Lion Server? I can find the option to enable mail services for the user in the Server.app, and I can add mailbox aliases (using secondary shortnames) to Workgroup Manager, but I can't find anywhere to allow mail forwarding to an external address.
    Any ideas anyone?

    This problem was crippling a large client after migrating from Microsoft Online Services (now Office 365) to Lion Server.
    Not having this feature is simply unacceptable.
    However, I have finalized a way to get group emails working. It involves adding the LDAP 'mail' attribute to each group that you would like to have members 'subscribed' to for group email (simply by being in that group) by doing the instructions below.
    Open Directory Utility on your Lion Server. Authenticate as the LDAP Admin account (usually diradmin) and edit 'groups' in LDAPv3/127.0.0.1. You can add an object type called EMailAddress for any group in LDAP. Add the accounts to the group that you would like to receive email.
    I preferred creating my own file called /etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf, but you can use the provided /etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf if desired.
    In it, I put the following information to make postfix find the email address for the group, and then expand memberUid to uid, then formatting the results in an acceptable email format.
    /etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf
    server_host = localhost
    search_base = cn=groups,dc=domain,dc=tld
    version = 3
    query_filter = (mail=%s)
    result_attribute = memberUid
    result_format = %[email protected]
    Once that is configured, you can test it by the Terminal:
    $ postmap -q (EMailAddress)@domain.tld ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf
    It should return users' email addresses.
    After that, add the following information into main.cf
    virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf
    Restart postfix
    # sudo postfix reload
    Send yourself a test email and enjoy the functionality of what should have been included in Lion Server in the first place.
    I am currently looking for a way to query OpenLDAP in a similar way, but instead be able to get the group email address to forward to users in it and to addresses outside of only LDAP users: e.g. forward to uid1, uid2, name(at)gmail.com.
    Also, being able to have some kind of rules for who can email the group ... would be nice. However, it seems that Apple has run out of nice.

  • Links in mails forwarded by an inbox rule get broken/removed

    Hi,
    after I upgraded from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 I got a weired problem with auto forwared e-mails as this mails end up with broken (empty).
    Only links with custom protocol headers are broken/removed, HTML links (http://, https://) are not removed.
    Only internal mails forwarded by an inbound rule (created with outlook) have this problem, mails forwarded directly with Outlook or mails auto forwarded (inbox rule) to an external receipient are ok.
    Original links in HTML Mail Source (partly) look like this

    and end up as

    Hi Martin,
    From your description, I recommend you send the following message to an internal recipient directly and check if it will be corrupted.

  • How to set up domain mail forwarding

    Greeting gurus.
    I am a BT Business Broadband custome and BT also host my domain.
    I am terminating my Boradband service next week but the domain is not for renewal until 2012.
    I have trying to find how to set  up mail forwarding for the domain.
    I would like all mail addressed to [email protected] -> [email protected]
    Replies can then be sent from the appropriate domain.
    The reason is that mydomain.com is effectively being mothballed, but I wish to ensure that any mail does not just get lost.
    I am on the support line but wanted to know if anyone can help me quicker.
    thanks.
    ps: this is my first post so be gentle with me!

    The business forums would be a better place for this.
    http://business.forums.bt.com/
    I've not hosted a domain with BT, but all the other domain registration/hosting companies I've used have a browser based control panel where these things are configured.
    You say the domain is being mothballed. You'll have to continue with the registration though, and BT claim to offer email with all domain registrations, so why not just carry on as you are ?

  • SMTP mail forwarding

    Hi ,
    In one of my customers IMS system we have a web mail server with http.smtphost settings which forwards the http/smtp traffic to one of
    virus wall server for filtering. After reading the forum thred below I am also thinking of avoiding the http.smtphost method and using some other way of
    http/smtp mail forwarding. Bcos this syetm carry huge http based traffic in that ISP.
    web mail behaviour for unknown recipient
    I can enable imta on the same web mail host and remove http.smtphost setting so that web mail server can
    use its defualt for http/smtp delivery. But my problem is how can I forward "all" the channels traffic to the virus wall ( not only tcp_local)?
    msg server version --> 7u3
    Thanks and best regards,
    ...

    Adding the daemon option to the tcp_local channel, as Ray suggested, will route all mail enqueued to the tcp_local channel to the specified host. However, if you want to route all mail thru that host, rather than just that which would normally go thru the tcp_local channel (ie, mail submitted by webmail users and destined for other users on the same system, it will be more complicated. If that other mail all goes thru the tcp_intranet channel, you could add the daemon option to the tcp_intranet channel as well and that would be the end of it. But if this is a single-host deployment where mshttpd is running on the same system as the message store, then such local delivery would probably go directly to the ims-ms channel.
    See the aliasdetourhost option in Routing After Address Validation But Before Expansion in the Admin Guide:
    http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Configuring+Channel+Definitions#ConfiguringChannelDefinitions-RoutingAfterAddressValidationButBeforeExpansion

  • Formatting for mail forwarded by Mac mail to Gmail

    I normally use Gmail. When certain people who use OSX Mail forward emails to me, the formatting is 'all over the place', especially if a picture is concerned - the picture arrives embedded and full width, even if it was an attachment in the first place. Is there a preference setting somewhere in Mail that ensures attachments stay as attachments and the formatting is retained? Or is it an incompatability between OSX Mail and Gmail?
    Thanks

    "Mac OS X (10.4.1)"
    First off, you should update your OS to 10.4.11, Mail and install all the updates pertaining to your computer through Software Update. More than likely you are using an outdated version of Mail.
    The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3.
