  • Mail not getting all messages from server and other strange behavior

    Hello All,
    Mail has been doing some odd things for me of late (at least the last week) and I'm lost for a solution to my problem. As far as I can tell, perhaps my Prefs. have become corrupted, or at least something in relation to Mail has become corrupted. Perhaps someone has a solution to this issue before I have to back it all up and NUKE the whole **** app to get back up and running properly.
    The main issue I appear to be having is that Mail is not getting all of my Mail messages from my server. I can log into my web-mail interface provided by my domain host and can see there that there are many e-mails that don't appear to be coming down the pipe to the Mail.app client. I'm getting some e-mail's but not all....
    *Here are all the things that I've checked:*
    • The missing e-mails are not being picked up as Junk and are not in the Junk folder
    • I have done a search within Mail for the missing e-mail's and nothing turns up anywhere.
    • I have checked on the server end that I'm not maxing out my InBox or that there are any other service issues from my domain host provider.
    • I have been into Prefs and checked my account settings - most (see below) of which appear to be as normal and are fine.
    *Here are the weird things that I've noticed:*
    • When I went into the Prefs. for the account in question, I noticed that my login had changed. For example - it usually it is "[email protected]", however it had seemed to have changed to just "johndoe" - I know this wasn't me as my domain host will not allow me to access any mail unless the login is the full mail address.
    • In RULES, every rule I double click to check on seems mostly fine, apart from the fact that every "Account is:" the pull down menu just appears as blank. Usually it says "Account is: ([email protected])"
    It's there last 2 items that make me think something is corrupted - so I guess my question is, what pref or file has corrupted and how can I fix it without having to give Mail.app a digital enema?
    Any assistance would be most helpful - missing some but not all your incoming e-mail messages is quite annoying, as you can guess...!
    Thanks,
    Boz

    Hello Boz.
    This appears to be a rules issue. Mail is almost certainly downloading those messages, but they’re probably being processed by your rules in an unexpected way — given the information you’ve provided, maybe because there is something wrong with the file where the account settings are stored.
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
    ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    <hr>
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Write down your Mail > Preferences > Accounts settings or take screen shots of them.
    2. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
    3. Quit Mail.
    4. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the Mail folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
    5. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this solves the problem). If you have a backup of your data that includes a working copy of this file, you may try restoring it from the backup to avoid steps 6-8.
    6. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
    7. You’ll have to re-configure some of your Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    8. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    9. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
    <hr>
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Problems with my Firefox so I changed browser to Google Chrome and lost all Firefox bookmarks, tags and other sites how do i retrieve those?

    I kept getting performance issues with Firefox 3.6 from the add-ons to crashes. I then chose to try Google Chrome as the main browser and somehow it uninstalled the Mozilla Firefox and all the toolbars, bookmarks and all were uninstalled without importing.
    On one hand it's good since the browser is cleaner and functioning better now especially after many attempts with YouTube and other video streaming sites.
    Is there a way to retrieve all those lost items or are they considered gone?
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Please read this article about restoring bookmarks:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
    As far as your passwords are concerned, I don't think there's anything you can do. But for the future, you can use the following add-ons to avoid any future loss:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/
    or
    http://www.xmarks.com/
    Both are good.
    And a simple way to import your bookmarks (since you already saved it on your desktop as html) is:
    Bookmarks / Organized Bookmarks / Import and Export
    Good luck.

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail.  Word worked in nothing.  I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.  Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

  • I have lost my bookmarks, add-on and other boxs from firefox

    for some reason where my persona is the I have lost all the boxs that were above little house that takes you back to your home page.
    So I have no way of getting into my tools, bookmarks, add-ons, copy, paste etc.
    I'm a silver server and am not tottaly into how these things work!

    * If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If other items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see the missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
    * If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

        Patti1970,
    We want you to be able to fully enjoy your device still. Just to clarify, the setting you are referring to is it the voice-to-text or the text-to-speech capability? When you go into the Google serach or text messaging application is the Microphone for voice-to-text gone or is it just not working?

  • How can I get Mail sounds to turn off for junk and other non-Inbox new mail?

    This week my Mail sound started going off for all types, incessantly, including receipt of the much Junk filtered out of the Inbox into Junk.  Formerly I received alert sounds only for new Inbox mail.  I have unchecked the "Play sounds for other actions" in Mail Preferences which does no good.  Any suggestions will be welcomed.  Thanks. 

    Did you install any software which includes or is a notification program such as Growl? Those may override any options you've set in the Preferences.

  • Mail Sender - Encoding (I need to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1)

    Hi,
    I'm getting data from email (in ms exchange) using the Mail Sender Adapter.
    In the e-mails exists characters as ç (ccedil), ã (atilde), õ (otilde) and others. The XI cannot read this characters because the encode in XML is UTF-8.
    How I do to change the encode in XI from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 ?
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately most mail server do not apply the codepage to the content type of a mail.
    In this case you have to set the content type with help of the MessageTransformBean:
    Transform.ContentType      text/plain;charset="ISO-8859-1"
    Regards

  • Mail receiving attachments in ISO-8859-1 format

    I have this weird issue on my brand new Macbook Air. I have google apps and some of the emails attachments I receive seems to be in a ISO-8859-1 format and the extension is changed on mail.
    In gmail webmail, the attachments is in the correct format.
    Example : Éte_2010.docx become ISO-8891-1?Q?te...docx?=
    See the dropbox link for more examples :
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/cjnr3gbm4cr06u1/encoding.png
    It seems to do this only on attachment with special characters and from certains users (not all my incoming emails do this). The first attachment is always in the good format, if there is more than one attachments, the others seems to change format.
    I switched from a 2010 MacBook Pro and mail wasn't doing this.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jean-Philippe,
    Yes, please check my first post, if you use same settings, and create message as mine, it should work, the TestFile is created as an attachment.
    Include this line in the module configuration with transform key:
    Transform.ContentType: multipart/mixed; boundary=--AaZz;
    If you still have issues, please give me a description of the error.
    Regards,
    Ivan.

  • Nerving Problem with UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1

    Hi,
    I´m looking for a solution to serve this problem for many hours now, maybe someone can help me:
    1.) We need to send our Mails with the ISO-8859-1-Charset because otherwise Windows-Users get the text in the message twice: once as plain, and after a question mark formated. So I changed the NSPreferredMailCharset in the com.apple.mail.plist to ISO-8859-1:
    defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset "ISO-8859-1"
    2.) So far so good. It works until I add an attachment to a message. Adding an attachment forces the sending of the mail again as Unicode (UTF-8). I could change the encoding manual, but thats not the way we can work in our company.
    My question is: is there any way to force mail to encode as ISO-8859-1? It can´t be that we have to change the encoding for every message.
    Thanks a lot
    florian
    PS: I´m not sure if this is important: we use the osx in German.

    I was thinking that since he is from Austria & references a company, there is a very strong possibility that the character "€" (the Euro currency symbol, Unicode 20AC, UTF-8 E2 82 AC) would frequently appear in messages.
    Even if he sets a preference for ISO-8859-1 as the default with Terminal, or manually changes messages to ISO-8859-1, it would not be possible to include this symbol in such messages, since there is no "€" in ISO-8859-1.
    Similar problems would occur with other symbols sometimes used in business (for example "™"), in engineering ("Ω"), in mathematics ("∑"), or even with some general punctuation marks such as the dagger ("†").
    Other possible problems are the use of other currency symbols the Euro replaced (the franc's "₣" or the lira's "₤") or others still in use (the Israeli new sheqel's "₪ or rupee's "₨"). Ligatures in an international environment would really complicate things as well, as this Wikipedia article about the Œthel illustrates.
    Note that in none of these cases would the presence or absence of an attachment matter -- ISO-8859-1 simply isn't up to the task.
    I suspect that in some cases, if it is possible, setting the default to Windows-1252 (Windows Latin 1 in Mail's list?) would help, since it does include at least the Euro & dagger. I haven't played around with this much, but I do note that in a new message window containing "€" in the body, if I set the text encoding to Windows Latin 1, Automatic, or UTF-8, Mail doesn't complain, but if I set it to ISO Latin 1, I get an error saying the message can't be saved & an "Invalid Text Encoding" alert if I try to send it.
    As for how messages are received at the other end, Windows apps (not just Outlook) are notorious for continuing to use non-Unicode API's even after the OS itself has long since moved to Unicode as its internal standard. Some of them employ bass-ackwards fixes like deciding ISO-8859-1 declarations are supposed to be Windows-1252 ones. Worse, Windows itself sometimes seems to interpret a few Windows-1252 code positions as their ISO-8859-1 control equivalents!
    All this makes life that much more complicated for people trying to avoid problems like the above.

  • Subject is not decoded - ISO-8859-1

    hi,
    we have a problem with a specific mail where the subject is not decoded. all other mails works fine. but when i try to decode the subject of this mail the function MimeUtility.decodeText(subject) returns the cryptic subject which i submitted.
    is the mail wrong, or is this a bug? is there is a problem with the mail, is there a workaround?
    here is the header of the mail:
    Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=DCbertragungsbericht vom 2009-09-23T10:14:39.043 Uhr;
    Ticket-ID: Haas166150_2009_09_23_10_14_30_564?=
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
    Message-ID: <e51cabcc-7e7c-423a-9687-027716c81dce@xxx>
    thx,
    simone

    I can see three reasons this failed:
    1) The encoded word is longer than 75 characters (RFC 2047 section 2)
    2) The encoded word contains a linebreak (at the ';' without ending the encoded word and starting a new encoded word) (RFC 2047 section 2)
    3) The encoded word contains unencoded spaces inside the encoded word (RFC 2047 section 2)
    Since MimeUtility fails on both 2 and 3, the decoding fails: In other words, the sender of the mail incorrectly encoded the subject AND incorrectly applied linebreaks inside the header.

  • Unable to load database, locales [Arabic_SaudiArabia.ISO-8859-6@Default]

    When trying to load data into Essbase I get this error dialogue
    Object [65313270] is locked by user [admin@Native Directory]
    Unable to load database, locales [Arabic_SaudiArabia.ISO-8859-6@Default] and [English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary] are not compatible
    Object [65313270] unlocked by user [admin@Native Directory]
    Unexpected Essbase error 1019057
    Have checked essbase.properties files (all 10 of them!) and the 2 references that I could find both point to the default value of [English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary]
    So is the problem with the CSV file?

    Have you looked at the Load Rule (yes, I know, developed in Studio, but it generates Load Rules which I believe you can open in EAS)? Is the dimension that contains BON accounted for?
    Your second issue(s) seems to be that you have conflicting locales -- are you in SA? Could it be that Studio is installed with English as the language and EAS with Arabic (or vice versa)? Sorry, I have hardly any experience in languages other than English. Maybe one of the non-English language posters can chime in.
    I can't say whether that load buffer issue means anything at all or not -- it could be a red herring.

  • HTTP-Receiver: Code page conversion error from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

    Hello experts,
    In one of our interfaces we are using the payload manipulation of the HTTP receiver channel to change the payload code page from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. And from time to time we are facing the following error:
    u201CCode page conversion error UTF-8 from system code page to code page ISO-8859-1u201D
    Iu2019m quite sure that this error occurs because of non-ISO-8859-1 characters in the processed message. And here comes my question:
    Is it possible to change the error behaviour of the code page converter, so that the error will be ignored?
    Perhaps the converter could replace the disruptive character with e.g. u201C#u201D?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,

  • Xml Parse throws SaxParseException.Encoding is UTF-8 insteadof ISO-8859-1 ?

    Hi All,
    I'm having some korean characters in my xml. when i tried to parse the xml i'm getting SaxParseException .
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> --- Throwing Exception
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> --- No Exception, successfully parsed
    I'm not sure why UTF-8 is failing and ISO is passing. But I'm always getting xml with UTF-8 format? Can anyone know the reason?
    I also like to know the differences between UTF-8 and ISO, i don't find any good article/document for this.
    Thanks,
    J.Kathir

    When SAX throws an exception when the encoding is set to UTF-8, then the XML contains something that is not a valid UTF-8 code (i.e. your source file is not encoded using UTF-8). Also: whenever you ask about an exception you should definitely post the entire exception, including message and stack trace.
    If it doesn't throw an exception when it is set to ISO-8859-1, then it does not mean that this is the correct choice. ISO-8859-1 is defined from 0 up to 255, so any byte stream is correct in that encoding ('though not necessarily meaninful).
    You absolutely have to find out which encoding the file really is, before you can parse it. If it should contain Korean characters then it is definitely not ISO-8859-1 (or any other encoding from the ISO-8859 family), as those only support latin, cyrillic and similar scripts.

  • Big5 to ISO-8859-1

    Hi, I want to convert a big5 chinese character to ISO-8859-1 character (&#xxxxx;)
    Here is my code:
    String record = "���~"; //a big5 string
    System.out.println("BIG5: " + record); //Display ok
    byte[] b = record.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
    String target = new String(b, "ISO-8859-1");
    System.out.println("Target: " + target);
    But I can't get the ISO-8859-1 code which like &#xxxxx; but gives me ???.
    Please advice.

    ISO-8859-1 DO have chinese characters
    In JSP, when I submit a chinese value in a form, I "ll
    receive this chinese characters in ISO-8859-1
    encodings and get: &#22909;&#20154; (In chinese:
    �n�H)
    And when I put this ISO-8859-1 characters in the value

    in Big5 correctly.
    I just don't know how to convert ISO-8859-1 to Big5 in
    Java and vice versa.
    Please help.ISO-8859-1 doesn't support chinese characters.
    The reason that you can received chinese characters from a html form was because the charset of that html page was set to BIG-5. When a user makes a request, all request parameters and values will be encoded with the charset of the HTML page.
