Mail is all tangled up

In the process of using Mail (ver 2.1) I did something (I don't know what) that caused one of my mailboxes to be outlined in blue. Never saw that before.
Afterward, Mail shows the contents of the inbox, but displays the spinning beachball of death and won't respond to any other commands. I have Force-quit several times but each time Mail starts up it is in this useless state.
How can I get it to start clean?
thanks,
Micheal

I solved the problem by doing a system restart. (logout/login didn't do it)

How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?
I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem? Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
Thank-you for the help!

I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday. They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

Mail (and all apps using apple.AddressBook.framework) crashing on open

I was able to fix Safari by not selecting any Address Book lookup items in Safari-Preferences. Address Book, Mail, Omniweb all crash on open. They all point to the same problem - srr0 is telling me that the apple.AddressBook.framework is the culprit (address matches) but lr is not showing the same address, thus is referencing an invalid pointer as per Apple's support doc on CrashReporter (and how to analyze it with GDB but I don't have Xcode loaded). But the fix eludes me....

How to access unread mails of all users in Exchange server without having Passwords and without giving mailbox access to other user.

Hi all,
I am using Exchange server 2013, my task is to create
Service , that
need's to monitor continuously for new mails of all Mailboxes in
my server. if any user got new mail i need to get that Mail Subject, Mail Body, Sender Email Address [From emailId] .
Limitation
: I don't have Passwords of mailboxes , so i gave all mailbox access permission to one user , then i completed this service using below code.
But now, Client
not willing to give Mailbox Permissions to one user because of security problems.
How can i do this without passwords and without giving permissions to other user ?
i don't want all mailbox access , i just need only
access Mail Subject , Body and Sender mail address .
How can i achieve
this ?
Process i follow
=> I created new user in server , and then i gave full permissions of all Mailboxes to newly created user[ex: james] in database level.
i use below command for giving permissions in database level.
Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity <Database Name> | Add-ADPermission -User <User> -AccessRights GenericAll
=> using below code i am searching unread mails of all user Mailboxes and then getting Subject, body and Sender Email address . here i am have list of users,
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("[email protected]", "password");
service.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]"); foreach (Object obj in usersList) // here i have Mailbox users list in usersList
{ var userMailbox = new Mailbox(obj.user);
var folderId = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, userMailbox);
SearchFilter.IsEqualTo filter1 = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(EmailMessageSchema.IsRead, false);
var itemView = new ItemView(50);
var userItems = service.FindItems(folderId, filter1, itemView);
foreach (var item in userItems)
item.Load();
var senderEmail = ((EmailMessage)item).From;
var subject = item.Subject;
var body = item.Body;

You would need to check that possibilities via WebServices but suggest you to post this in Development forum to get help from programmers....

How do you send an e-mail to all members of a defined group in smart groups?

I am one of the organisers of an annual guitar meeting and want to send mail to all the regular attendees.

Can anyone help please?

How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

Hi folks,
I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
-- Josh

I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
(Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
Let us know if this helps or hurts.

All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"

Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all. I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either. Help!

Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion. I've done all that. I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password. I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password). My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do. His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume). We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections. They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired. Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit. My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely. The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed? I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard. I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update. Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

Mail takes all mail account offline. I have duplicated this twice now. Let see if we can solve this.

I see others have had this problem but I do not see a solution. Simply put mail takes all accounts offline. The user is unable to return them to online status. Logging out or restarting will not allow the reenabling of the accounts. It takes deleting some of the files associated with mail and re entering the accounts info. I have seen this happen only when I have high date rate incoming internet traffic and mail attempts to retrieve the mail and it may take a few times. I download quite a few linux dvd isis so at time my bandwidth is full. This is when it has happened every time.
Even after the traffic has ceased mail is unable to connect. I ran disk util to see if there was a permission problem. I disabled the firewall to see if something changed there. Now note only mail seems affected i.e. internet usage is not. I tried pinging the smtp server no returns.

What files contain the config data for mail? The plist file?
Before I forget this is a macbook pro running 10.9.3 OS X Mail is Version 7.3 (1878.2)

Any thoughts, things to try etc.?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mail to all the employess in the internal table.

Hi Experts,
I have a internal table where the employee IDs are saved.. I need to send a mail to all the employees in the internal table. How will i be able to send a mail from the function module SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW? where will i pass the internal table values and what need to be put in the mail recepient part?
Regards,
Lavanya

First, if you are ONLY sending e-mails, you need to look into solutions other than workflow.
Still, since you already have the workflow, you can pass an internal table with a list of all e-mail addresses to the workflow:
- Define a multiline container element (import parameter) in the workflow. You could utilize the current e-mail address field (just mark it as multiline.
- Pass that multiline element as the recipient of the e-mail (you can click F4 on the recipient field and then select the blue-looking table field).

Learning Solution - Need to send a reminder e-mail to all participants

I need to be able to send a reminder e-mail to all participants in a course. I would like the e-mail to be sent to the participants 7 days prior to the start date of the course.
We currently use SMARTFORMS to send an e-mail to a participant when he is booked into a course. We would like to send the same e-mail to the participant 7 days prior to the start of the course as a reminder.
Would I accomplish this using a workflow? Does anyone know a function that could be used to send the same e-mail again? We have not been able to find the code to send the e-mail to the participant again.

Hii Karen,
We are also facing the same problem, but with the same i also want to know that how to send an e-mail to a participant when he is booked into a course coz for me its not working.
Could you please tell me the steps to follow.
Thanks & Regards,

TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.
