Mail Inbox colours (Mac Mail)

I recently installed a Mac Mail plug-in which helped to prioritise mail by colour. Unfortunately I can't seem to turn it off. As a result my in-box is full of emails in unreadable yellow, replies to emails I inadvertently sent as priority three (yellow). Can anyone help me return my inbox to glorious black and white? And stop this happening again?
Many thanks in anticipation.

Here's my reply to another discussion on the general procedures for setting up a Mail account.
But without the specifications defined by your ISP no one can tell you any more specific details. They should have a web page somewhere (or call them) that supplies all the relevant information:
Incoming (pop) mail server
mail login user name and password
pop port
ssl requirements
authentication type (password?)
Outgoing (smtp) mail server
smtp port
ssl requirements
authentication type (password?)
mail login user name and password

The inbox for Mac Mail lists every incoming message twice. When I delete a message it deleted both entries. I have tried the solution in "help" and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I am wondering if anyone is seeing my question? This is my first time and I am not sure if I am communicating correctly. If you are seeing the question above regading deleted messages reappearing please reply so I will at least know I am getting the message out.
Thank you.

Firefox has stopped forwarding my mail to my Mac Mail.

I had to change my Firefox password lately, so that it does not match my Mac Mail password. Then Firefox stopped forwarding my mail to my Mac Mail box.

Also make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

Best.

I am unable to open scanned documents (with .jpg file extension) in my e-mail inbox, on the Mail app on my iPad. Please provide a clear answer. Thanks a lot.

Can you actually see that the attachment has a .jpg extension? Some mail systems strip it off (I've seen AOL do that) which makes the attachment difficult to open.

Is it possible to include FIVE EXTERNAL ACCOUNTS in the Inbox of .Mac mail?

I need to RECEIVE messages from five other EXTERNAL ACCOUNTS in the INBOX of my .Mac Mail. I complete everything asked in MAC Mail Preferences.Other.
Yesterday I did configure it FOR THE FIRST TIME and some mails came in, in the first moment, from the first popserver. I continued introducing other incoming mail servers and that did not work anymore.
Today it is impossible to get any mails from any external accounts, only from Mac. Accounts.
When I go to the different servers pages, I find there are mails waiting to be read, and they do not enter my .Mac mail Inbox.
Please help me to solve this situation.
Thanks,

Inbox Problems - Mac Mail Slow due to too many messages (45,000+)???

I have more than 75.000 messages in Mac Mail (mobile me). I need all these messages and constantly refer to them - they stretch back several years. I use the search system in mail to locate the one I need, when I need it etc.
Recently I have noticed that mail is getting slow to download new messages. I have been watching the activity window and see that mail seems like it checks each message for flags/changes before downloading new mail.
I am running several Macs in several locations and need all my mail to be available on all machines - hence i se IMAP not POP3.
I am wondering if I can speed things up by moving and sorting the 45,000 messages in my inbox to folders etc. Yes? No?
Also, if I create folders, I assume that I should create these on Mobile Me (not 'on my mac')?
Thanks for any advice!

I think that sorting them out to folders on the server would help this.
In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced what is your selection with regard to Keep copies of messages (and attachments) for Offline viewing?

If you delete a POP mail account in Mac Mail can you get your mails back?

This has happened to a client of mine. She'd just set up a new account for her email as she'd moved servers. She had an old POP mail account on her Mac Mail for two years which she deleted and now all of her old sent mails are gone plus everything from the inbox that wasn't moved into folders.
How do you get those emails back? (I'm not sure if she has been using Time Machine to back everything up)
Will re-creating the old account help?

If she hasn't been backing up with Time Machine (or a full backup which hasn't been overwritten) they are gone. Recreating the account won't being them back.
If she has Time Machine, open (user)/Library/Mail in the Finder and then enter Time Machine. Navigate backwards looking for a folder named POP- and the name of the account. Use TM to restore that.

For the past day or 2 mail sent from .Mac Mail is not being delivered.

I have been using .Mac Mail and Apple Mail application on my computer for about 10 months. The past 2 days when I go to .Mac Mail online, compose an e-mail, click on send, get the message that says, "Your message has been sent." The e-mail is also in my Sent folder but the e-mail message is not delivered. I sent an e-mail this way to my Hotmail account, my Yahoo account and even to myself at my .Mac Mail account and none of them were delivered. I tried several times at different times and I just tried again now. Still no good. They never went to any of the inboxes even hours later. Is there something wrong with the outgoing .Mac Mail sever? Or what else can it be?

You didn't say what troubleshooting you did after the firmware update and problem...
To get started...
Verify your drive with Disk Utility.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility (probably not the issue, but won't hurt)
Try:
mailbfr -o
mailbfr -f
If you are still stuck, you'll need to post more detail about your configuration, hopefully more log detail and the contents of imapd.conf and the output of postconf -n

Lost connection between my Mail inbox and e-mails in Finder.

In an attempt to transfer my e-mail to a newer MAC my intern managed to move all my e-mail files from Libary > Mail > POP-an***.com to the Trash folder!
I have recover all the files and placed them back in the above folder but they are no longer connected to my Mail application.
They are visible in the Inbox, but if I click on any of them, they open as a blank page.
Does anyone know how I can reconnect this broken link or at least move then to an 'ON MY MAC' folder so that I can search them easily?
Andrew

When you move email messages in the Finder, you mess up the Envelope Index. If so, then you probably need to force a reindexing of all mailboxes. To do this, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
If you only have POP accounts, then you only need deal with the Envelope Index removal, but everyone should note that if there are any IMAP or Exchange accounts, they require the special treatment outlined in the article.

Mail Inbox Deleted During Mail Crash

I am running a G4 Powerbook 10.3.9 and mail locked up and crashed. My Inbox is wiped out. Last July, I accidentally deleted my read sent emails but that was intentional (as in I thought I was in the Trash window, selected All and Deleted but as I was in my Sent window, that's what got deleted). I bought Data Rescue II and was able to restore a almost all of my deleted Sent email.
So I tried to do the same today. I recovered large "mail" files to the CBR folder. These files are marked as Mail-00034.mbox where the number goes up. Some files are 100MB while others are smaller. I also recovered the INBOX.mbox file but I cannot import either file type into Mail (as in the Import Mailbox function).
I have recovered plenty of big files but none that can be imported into mail. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance
PowerBook G4

Someone posted this a few days ago you can try it:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
3. Locate Outbox.mbox and move it to the Desktop if you want to preserve the messages waiting there, or just trash it otherwise.
BTW, if you’re using Mac OS X 10.3.9, as your profile indicates, it would be more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.
You can save your mail preferences in a safe place first, just in case, you want to create a new account (user) and see if this is another way to avoid problems

How can I set Yahoo mail as my default mail application on Mac Mail?

I am trying to make Yahoo Mail (free version, not Yahoo mail Plus!) my default mail application. This would allow me to cick on any link sending e-mails and it will launch the yahoo mail application to send mail from there, obviously. For this to happen I need to open Mac "Mail > Preferences >" and choose "Default email reader" under the "General". I then choose the email application of my choice (Yahoo in my case). "GMail Notifier" for Google fans.
I am not able to find a Yahoo application mail in my application folder or on the Internet, and frankly speaking, Yahoo mail support absolutely suck, and getting a hold of them is nearly impossible! There is a free applet out there called "Yahoomailer" that might do the job, but either I am installing it wrong since when I download and click on it nothing happens, or it does not work properly on my machine. So, I am turning to the community to get some help with this issue. All I need is to know if there is a Yahoo mail app out there that can be installed on MAC and shows up on my Mail > Preferences > Default email reader.
Thank you,
I am using MAC OS X 10.8.2

My tools menu does not show "options" as a choice - any idea why? Thanks

Using a POP mail account in mac mail

My friend has an AT&T sbcglobal POP mail account he has added to his mac mail app. Since it is POP mail it is not always received in his mac mail box if AT&T Yahoo account receives it first. I guess he can prevent the Yahoo mail box from downloading the messages if he signs out of the Yahoo account.But he also has an iPhone. So will he still have the race problem between the computer & the iPhone on which gets the mail first?
Appreciate any suggestions on how this can be solved?

For POP:
The following mail server settings will work with all AT&T email domains: @ameritech.net, @att.net, @bellsouth.net, @flash.net, @nvbell.net, @pacbell.net, @prodigy.net, @sbcglobal.net, @snet.net, @swbell.net, @wans.net.
Email Program Settings Field:
Enter:
Incoming (POP)
inbound.att.net
Outgoing (SMTP)
outbound.att.net(requires authentication)
Incoming mail server:
POP3
Incoming/Outgoing User Name:
Full AT&T email address, including domain (e.g., [email protected], [email protected])
Incoming mail port #:
995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port #
465, secure connection (SSL) checked
I assume the settings you are refering to gives that delay for marking the messages as read when highlighted for that period of time. Probably for scrolling through the list without changing the unread status. Lion doesn't have that selection, so I can't test that at the moment.

For the last 4 months I can not send any mail from my mac mail account. It will receive but not send. I have to use my Yahoo or Gmail account to send anything. When I forward or try to send a new email, a box wants my password. IT won't take my password.

A box comes up after I try and send an email wanting my password. I put the password in, the box disappers, then shows up again empty wanting my password. The same password is used to access Apple but Mac Mail will not accept it. It just stop sending about four months ago.

It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website. In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment. I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address. Check this article out from Gigaom.
