Mail in Lion problem

1.) mail does not show attachments on attachment bar;
2.) when sending mail - after send button is hit dictionary suggestion window opens (I don not use it) and when trying to add something like a word or number to mail (that was normal thing to do in a mail from 10.6.), any button I press immediately sends mail - that is a problem...
3.) Search bar in mail does not provide functionality of one from mail of 10.6. - it is confusing becouse it only gives you choices mail itself choses not me as user...
Pls info what to do.
Thx
NikolaZG

Are you using the classic view or the new vertical view.
If the latter, I have noticed that unless you scroll right up to the top of the mail, the blue dot does not disappear.
Secondly, if you are using conversation mode, click the small arrow to expand the list of mails under that conversation, if one of them is not read or not scrolled right up to the top, it will show as unread.

LION MAIL and EXCHANGE Problem with Excessive Polling Server Load

With a few of our apple mail users we are experincing polling on our exchange server which is in the order of 1-13 polls per second to the server.
We have logged it from 9AM-5PM where it tails off when they go home for the end of the day.
Has anyone esle experienced this.
I believe apple mail in lion is still a PULL client using EWS to achieve mail retrieval.
Well all for now.
Thanks

Are you saying that this is a well-recognised issue?
Can we assume that the reason for not fixing it is that Nokia want people to use Nokia Messaging instead? It came free with my phone and I did try it. It connected & synchronised well but contacts in headers kept appearing in quotes ("") and when I checked my email from my main IMAP client my sent items included incomplete versions of my emails as well as the finished email - as if it was sending drafts.
I guess I'm sticking with MfE for calendar and IMAP for email...

Mail and Password problem

I am trying to use Mail on a MacBookPro with Lion. My wife uses it successfully on her iMac using Snow Leopard. I use it (sometimes) on my iMac also using snow Leopard. When I open Mail in Lion it asks for her password which is different from mine and if i use it, it shows me all her mail, which I don't care about. I use other e-mail apps on my two computers so I can live without Mail if i have to. Is there a solution to this problem?

Hi again. I saw that you tried another thread some days ago for the same problem. There you said: "Using Lion, on my MacBookPro Mail has an intermittent problem. Some days it asks for my wife's password (for her Mail account) and I cannot access my own new mail. Some days it works fine. Help."
So, to get this right: On the MacBook Pro you have set up ONE account in Mail.app - YOUR account. And despite that it happens from time to time that Mail asks you for the password of a totally different E-Mail account - the one from your wife? And your wife's account is not set up in Mail.app.
Everthing correct?
Is your wife's account set up on different E-Mail applications on that MacBook Pro? Is she using this laptop as well, and if yes, is she using the same login account to the computer for this?

Is there a way to limit the frequency of the "autosaving drafts" feature in Mac Mail on Lion?

Using Mail Version 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3)
On MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.1
Wondering if Is there a way to limit the frequency of the "autosaving drafts" feature in Mac Mail on Lion?
Looked all thru preferences and googled the crap out of this and can't seem to find the answer I want.
Basically, I have my mailbox behaviors set up exactly the way I want them. (ie deleted messages get saved to my "Trash" folder on the server) I do not think I should have to change them, but because of the autosave feature saving almost every 3 characters typed, I have an over abundance of versions saved in my Trash folder. This problem would be solved were there a preference somewhere I could select to save drafts "manually only" or "opened messages save when quitting" or something along those lines.
Is this a preference setting already that I am missing?
I would settle for a rule, just not sure what perameters should be set for this to work.
Help

Typically a server has a settable parameter to limit concurrent connections. Check the server's documentation.

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.

We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

Conversation view like mail in lion

Hi! I am not able to see the mails in the usefull conversation view I have in Lion when the messages are orgnised in thread. It's seems that ios5 organized the similar messages in thread and when u click on it it shows the mails separated each other and not together like in the Conversation view of Mail for Lion.
Can u help me please?
I would be really gratefull if u can answer me. Thanks
Cheers,
Alberto

Well, I tried that and all connections were successful.
However, I just tried something else. I had an online Exchange account that I have been using, but recently deactivated the account, and moved the mail servers to my own domain. I had left the Exchange server account active to give the system and accounts time to migrate and sync, etc. On a whim, after your above email, I deleted the inactive Exchange account and that seems to have fixed it. I don't know why, though, because all email accounts were set to use mobile SMPT2GO for all outgoing mail, and that account was turned off on the server side.
For anyone else having this problem, I also tried the various fixes in the thread here. There are some good ideas, though they didn't work for me.

Can I downgrade mail from Lion Mail(v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail(v.4)?

I just bought a new MacBook (13.3" running Lion OS 10.7.1). I -really- don't like the new format of mail and have problems with searching and other organization methods I worked out. I would like to downgrade from Lion Mail (v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail (v.4). I understand that some people have downgraded the whole operating system and saw those instructions in the discussion forums, but I would like to -only- downgrade mail. Any ideas?
Also, any recommendations on reducing my load times and delays in mail? I have over 100,000 emails over the past 4 years that are bogging down the system. I have tried archiving some older messages, but the system freezes and then downloads all the attachments from my oldest messages, filling up the entire hard disk. Thanks in advance!

There is a long thread about this -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/15733107#15733107 -- and the bottom line is that it is possible to install and run SL on a 2011 mini (with some rather wonky hacking...) BUT it doesn't work very well. Performance benchmarks of the same machine in SL and Lion show the SL as definitely slower.
Plus people are having problems with certain features on the machine not working.
I think that your performance issues sound like something else is wrong... The 2GB is a definite problem -- do you know that you can buy 8GB for the machine for $60, and getting it installed is a snap? But the first thing that I would do is to install applejack and boot into single-user mode and run disk repair (aka fsck.) Another question -- if you look on your console, do you see a voracious cpu-eating process called mds? It's the indexer for Spotlight, and there is nothing to be done about it than to just wait it out, and your machine will work much better when it is done. And Spotlight is not just a SL problem -- if you install SL it's going to want to index your disk, too...

Hostgator POP account configuration in Mail (Mountain Lion)

Hi,
I have a little problem with configuring a Hostgator POP account in Mail (Mountain Lion).
The following info is from Hostgator:
Secure SSL/TLS Settings:
Username: [email protected]
Password: mypassword
Incoming Server: gator4113.hostgator.com
- POP3 Port: 995
Outgoing Server: gator4113.hostgator.com
- SMTP Port: 465
Authentication is required for POP3 and SMTP.
I have manually configured the account in Mail, but where shall I enter the
Incoming Server's Port 995?
At the end of the Advanced Tab I could enter a port (is by default set to 110)
but according to the help file this is ALSO for SENDING messages. (???)
Thanks for any help!

I tried this, but still no screen appears where I could enter the incoming port.
I found another forum post regarding this question:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6507302 => Csound1 wrote:
"the path you provided (mail>preferences>advanced) allows you to change the incoming port"
I tried it, and it seems to work!
As I wrote in the Mail help they wrote "Specify the port numbers to use to send messages",
BUT at the top, under "Advanced accounts preferences" it says
"Use Advanced accounts preferences to set options related to retrieving messages"!!
So it seems it's really for receiving/incoming mails. (Where else should it be possible to edit that port?)

IPhoto and Mail in Lion don't play along

Tried to send a mail with a template and some pictures from iPhoto 9 (iLife 11) to Mail.app (Lion) but Mail.app wouldn't show the photos due to "missing plug-in". Something must really be missing when one Apple app can't understand another Apple app!
This renders the e-mail from iPhoto function useless.
Anyone know anything about this?

I have the same probleme
Nevethless, I just tried the following scenario :
On my Imac (OS X Lion), I have two user accounts, mine and one for my daughter.
1. If my daughter send me an email from her account and her Iphoto using iphoto template, I receive her email on my accouint perfectly. I do not have the message "plug-in missing".
2. On the other hand, if I send an email from my account and my Iphoto using iphoto template to my daughter, she receives my email on her account with the message "plug-in missing".
It seems the probleme comes from either my iphoto or my domain an dnot from my mail application. But no idea to fix it.

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
Read this from a site I found:
Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

Can't add a new event to iCal on my iMac - but the event sync's to my iPad - is this a Lion problem? iCloud is on.

Can't add a NEW EVENT to my iCal on my iMac- however the event is sync'd to my iPad with no problem. iCloud is turned on for iCal. Is this a Lion problem or something turned pff. I cannot find an answer. Help?
Williamfronsc

William,
It is a possibility that you are adding new events to your "On My Mac" calendars.
"On My Mac" calendars will not sync with iCloud. After backing up the "On My Mac" calendars, and ensuring that all events are duplicated on your iCloud calendars you can delete any "On My Mac" calendars.
For further troubleshooting advice read iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
Here are the different scenarios.
-If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
-If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
-If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
-If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
-If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
-If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
-If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
What I can do:
- I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
-I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
-I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message. I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
-If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail. If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

Another problem that may be related….
I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location. Please choose a different location." I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard. I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

I had a box on the top of the browser that has written, you got mail. The problem is it keeps repeating you got mail. I don't want to hear it.

This is an unsolicited ad for "winning" an I phone. I am very tired of winning all this junk. I certainly do not want ads talking to me now.

This appears above the page, in the toolbar area? That's probably caused by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or remove).
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that get rid of the ad?
Two other things:
(1) You may want to check the Windows Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, for any undisclosed bundle items. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date so they are easier to spot. Remove whatever looks suspicious or unnecessary.
(2) You may want to supplement your regular security software with some of the scanning/cleaning programs listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
