Mail - incorrect thread grouping

Mail.app incorrectly groups mail into threads. For example, I have three emails from my daughter (all FROM the same email address). The first two have the same subject. The third has a completely different subject. But mail groups them together in the same thread. Furthermore, when the thread is collapsed, the subject of the third message is used as the displayed subject, which makes it difficult to find the emails with the other subject. Truly bizarre behavior.

Mail.app apparently:
"..uses special headers in each email message to determine if a message belongs to the same thread. If these headers are not present, the subject is used to determine if a message belongs to the thread".
I wish for an option (currently not available) on each message to detach it from a thread.

Separate messages that Mail incorrectly groups into a thread

Mail occassionally will group a few emails into a thread when they're not actually part of a thread (based on similar "subject" lines or other similarities). Is there a way for me to designate specific messages/threads as not supposed to be a part of a thread? Thanks in advance.

I think there must be also other ways
that messages get identified as a thread
Yes, the subject.
because in at least one example I have,
2 of the messages in a thread do not have matching
"in-reply-to" fields nor matching "thread-id" fields
in the long headers.
They don't have to. All that is needed for them to be considered part of the same thread is that they both refer to a message in that thread. The message they refer to doesn't have to be the same for both messages in order for them to be considered part of the same thread. Or am I misunderstanding you here?
The only similarity between the
2 is the subject line, so far as I can tell.
Ah! Yes, the subject is likely also being used to determine that they are part of the same thread, precisely because there is no guarantee that the In-Reply-To header was set correctly in the first place. There is no foolproof method to determine whether two messages are really part of the same thread, so mail clients do what they can (and different mail clients may do it differently). Whatever they do, there will always be messages that are categorized incorrectly.
but it does seem too bad there's no "not a part
of thread" button or menu option.
Well, there are way many things that it's too bad Mail doesn't have... This one is probably not one of the most prominent, but it may be to you if you rely heavily on that feature.

Trouble composing e-mail to address groups stored in iCloud.

Hello,
Here's the synopsis of my problem:
My address book contacts and groups are being stored in iCloud.
If I vew a group in Address Book and go to the Edit menu, "Edit Distribution List" is greyed out.
If I right click a group name and select the option to send e-mail to that group, I see a new message window but the address headers are empty.
If I go to the "to" field in a new message and try to type in a group name, it will autocomplete the name for me, but the moment I let it complete the name for me, the name disappears and I'm left with an empty "To:" header again.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion.   Address Book version 6.1 (1062).   Mail version 5.1 (1251/1251.1).
It could very well be that this doesn't have anything to do with iCloud at all, but this seemed to be a reasonable place to start looking.    Any help appreciated.

As soon as I posted the question, I found this related discussion which seems to contain a workaround:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3387191?start=15&tstart=0
It appears you need to have at least one group "On my mac" before you are allowed to use groups in iCloud.   It's a bug.

Work email field not filling in for mail enabled security groups in sharepoint

I've recently been trying to setup alerts to send to mail enabled security groups on our sharepoint site.
I've created universal mail enabled security groups for this purpose, and populated them with users, and then set those in the alert field, but no one is getting alerts.
After a lot of investigation, I've found that this is likely because the security groups listed under sharepoint in the people and groups section don't have work email fields filled in. Theres a couple of groups that work which do have this field filled
in, but everything created recently is missing this. I can't seem to set this field up to be editable instead of importing from AD either. I've confirmed the AD import is working fine, all user details and work email fields are filled out correctly, it is
only the security groups that are having problems.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

As per your description I assume that individual user gets email alert, right ?
If no then go to central administration > operation > timer job definitions > “web application” view > select your web application in the menu bar to check if Immediate alerts working fine
If not, please run the following operations:
stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname alerts-enabled -propertyvalue false -url http://...
stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname alerts-enabled -propertyvalue true -url http://...
stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname job-immediate-alerts -propertyvalue "every 5 minutes" -url http://...
And then try again.
At last, if the issue is still there, please check your email server settings in terms of the following articles:
http://www.sharepoint-tips.com/2007/10/email-alerts-not-getting-sent-while.html
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointworkflow/thread/36c3b5b5-af03-4f8a-b202-b62db330c21c/
And if individual user gets an alert then you can create cutomized alert for Sec group

Can't add a mail enabled public folder to allowed senders on a mail universal security group in Exchange 2010

Hello,
I'm trying to allow a mail enabled public folder permissions to send to a mail universal security group. In the past if I wanted to add a PF as an allowed sender I would do it via the AuthOrig setting on that group using adsiedit. I just noticed today
that if I add the PFs DN to that attribute of the group, nothing happens. No matter how long I wait the PF never shows up under the allowed senders list on the group. If you try and send as the PF you get a bounce about not being allowed to send to that
group. If I go back into AD and check, the PF is still listed under the AuthOrig attribute. I tried this on a few different groups and with a few different PF and I'm stumped. I think the last time I had to update this setting on a group
was before I installed roll-up 5 for SP3.
If I do the same test with a user, it works as it should and they show up in the allowed senders list.
If I take a group that isn't restricted to specific senders and add a PF DN to the AuthOrig attribute of the group, the button in the message delivery restrictions for that group in the EMC will change from all senders to only senders in the following list,
but the PF wont be listed in the box of allowed senders. If I remove it from the AuthOrig attribute the group will change back to allow all senders. It's really weird, so any help or light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I check many threads and articles, but there is no related information to verify the issue.
If your purpose is that adding a mail-enabled public folder to allowed senders on a distribution group, there is a workaround method. You can create a new distribution group, and then add the public folder to the new distribution group, and add
the new distribution group to the Only senders in the following list field of the target distribution group.

Help I would like to send an e-mail to a group of people, I have the group created, but when I drag it to bcc or to- it will not attach. can anymon help me with this?

In a new email message window start to type the name of the Group you have in Contacts/Address Book in the 'To' field - it should self-complete when it recognises the name.
(Note: this only works with 'normal' Groups and not Smart 'Groups').

Thank you Klaus,
In mail help, Bcc is indicated as an alternative to unchecking the box saying show names in group when sending. Any ideas as to why the preference doesn't work?

Mail filling in groups from Contacts

There is a problem with Mail filling in groups from Contacts in a way which didn't happen to me before Mavericks.
When I now type in the first letter(s), Mail tries to auto complete, but when I have the right group in the "to" bar and press the enter-key the name disappears.
When I type too fast for mail auto complete to keep up (already typed the whole group name) and press enter, nothing happens, the name of the group isn't replaced by the people belonging to that group.. The cursor just keeps blinking berhing the group name.
I take it this is a bug, not by design...
Already filed a bug report at apple.com/feedback

The app Mail2Group, both paid and lite, makes it easer to mail to groups. There is no other good workaround except to copy addresses to a master group list/document and copy and paste.

Same subject Mail messages are grouped together in sent mail

How can I get mac mail to stop grouping sent messages on the same subject together in the sent mail file?
i went in mail- preferences viewing and turned off mark them by color, but that was no help.
I want each message in sent mail on its own, and in the usual sent order, not grouped with other same subject sent mails.

Nope - I have the date column clicked-- and in the date column, for say an e mail sent today- like "a pix of my new car" , it has grouped with todays e mail (you "open" it with the little triangle on the left side" all the other e mails sent last week on "a pix of my new car"

When I send an e-mail to a group address, from my address book, I get an error messageI get an error message that one of them is not a valid e-mail address, although I have used it alone without any problem.

Notification mail for particular group of users

Hi,
How to configure notification mail for particular group users in the portal, some circular posted in the KM.
Please advise.

Dear kumargopalc,
The best way to do this, is create a folder in km where you upload your files o news to this user and then create a km navigation iview to give to the user the possibility to subscribe to it, the service subscription give to the users notifications on the amendment of the folder.

Can not edit mail non-universal group

Hi all,
After moving from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, the previous distribution groups become mail non-universal groups and greyed out. i can not edit them anymore.
Some DGs contains some distribution groups or secutiry groups.
I can not create nested distribution groups anymore in Exchange 2010.
How can I make them not greyout and I am ble to edit them?
Thank you.

Ok.
So I’d use the code above and run it a couple of times, just it will error groups with group membership but the first pass will change the scope of the child group and the second should change the scope of the parent group. This is a lazy approach
but I want to get you the code to create the DG’s ;o)
Once you have your groups at Universal level you can make DG’s
I use the code below to batch create DG's with prefixed names or email addresses
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
Connect-ExchangeServer -auto
$GroupsWithOutEmails = @(Get-ADGroup -Filter {(mail -notlike "*")} -SearchBase 'OU=Staff,OU=Groups,OU=Live,DC=domain,DC=co,DC=uk' -Properties mail )
ForEach ($GroupsWithOutEmail in $GroupsWithOutEmails){
$Alias = $GroupsWithOutEmail.Name.Replace(" ","")
$SimpleName = $Alias.Replace("_","")
$Identity = $GroupsWithOutEmail.DistinguishedName
$PrettyName = "StaffGroup - All " + $GroupsWithOutEmail.Name + " Staff"
$PrettyeMailAddress = "SMTP:StaffGroup_" + $Alias + "@domain.co.uk"
Write-Host $Alias $Identity $PrettyName $PrettyeMailAddress
Enable-DistributionGroup -Identity $Identity -Alias $Alias
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity $Identity -DisplayName $PrettyName -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false -EmailAddresses $PrettyeMailAddress -SimpleDisplayName $SimpleName
There's some code in there to get around some of our groups which had "_" in them and Exchange didn't like. If you just want enalbe the groups as DG's then remove the "Set-DistributionGroup" line
Is that any help?

How to change mail-enabled security group to security group

Hi,
As a test I have configured on the properties page of a security group an email adres. By doing this converted a security group to a mail-enabled security group. Also this group has been transferd to Office 365. But after testing I want to make the distribution
groups on the Exchange in Office 365. So I deleted the emaila dres of the security group, but it still synchronized to Office 365 as a mail-enabled security group. How can I change in AD the mail-enabled security group to a security group?
Thanks in advance
