Mail is creating blank messages in the Notes:On My Mac folder.

Mail is creating blank messages in my Notes:On My Mac folder
It is currently doing it every 3 seconds. So after 5 minutes I have 100 new notes.
Does anyone know how to make this stop?
Some observations:
The notes only get created if Mail is open.
The messages appear blank and are interpreted by mail as messages, not as notes, and have the following headers:
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v928.1)
Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII
X-Universally-Unique-Identifier: ac371d40-78ea-44de-b2b4-1cf93a1e5c60
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I see correlated CPU usage bursts in Activity Monitor for: distnoted (~0.8%), Mail (~50%), SyncServer (~60%), fseventsd (~0.4%), Finder (~1%).
The notes get created regardless of the presence or absence of a network connection.
On my other iMac the same problem exists but the frequency is lower: a pair of notes is created every 15 minutes or so. The problem also exists on my MacBook Pro.
The frequency on this iMac was lower when I first noticed the problem.
I am a .Mac/MobileMe user and all three computers are registered for synchronization.
Has anyone seen this problem?

Hello David,
I had a much more acute version of this problem on both my Macs. I first mentioned this problem here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7752479#7752479
The only thing that worked for me was disabling Notes syncing and deleting all my Notes. This is not an ideal solution but to have a functional computer I had to take that drastic step (after trying many remedies offered on this forum).

How do you create a messages account the new macbook air

how do you create a messages account the new macbook air

Not possible to create a new mailbox with the iPhone.
If the account is an IMAP account, you can create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account or via webmail access for the account using a browser. Any additional server stored mailboxes created with an IMAP account will be available automatically when checking the account with the iPhone's Mail client, and will be kept synchronized with the server automatically.
This is not possible with a POP account. You may be able to create additional server stored mailboxes with a POP account via webmail access for the account using a browser, but such mailboxes will not be available with the iPhone's Mail client, or with any email client used to access the account.

Mail places 1 unread message in the trash every time I open the app

Mail places 1 unread message in the trash every time I open the app. Has anyone else had this problem.Recently I had to reindex my messages. Is there a preference file I can delete?

Mail app is blank. I can not see any thing but a blank page with blue lined format. It does not shut down either. It just blinks out after a few seconds and the icon is there alone on my home screen then everything goes black and my home screen comes

MY Mail app does not respond in anyway to anything. The icon shows I have over 300 emails but I have no access to them. When I tap on the Mail icon a blank white page comes up with the blue format lines. No emails, no inbox, nothing, not a single letter of the alphabet is there. Within a few seconds it blinks out and I see the icon and my home screen. Soon it just blinks out to black. I am left with the icon at the bottom center of the screen. I have no way to shut it down. I have no access to the emails (300) in my inbox. All that is happening is my memory is getting filled up with emails. I would appreciate any solution to this problem barring deleting my email set up in settings.
if I have to resort to that I will, in the meantime I am hoping for a different resolution. Thanks everyone, you are all amazing and greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Diane.

Hey There Diane,
If I'm understanding your situation, you've got an iPad running iOS 6.1.3 and the Mail app is not working. I understand you don't want to remove and re-add your email account.
The first thing I would suggest is to make sure your iPad is backed up to iCloud or iTunes.
Do you have an iMAP or a POP email account? When you go online to your email service provider's website, are you able to access the 300 emails in your inbox?
Since the Mail app is part of your iOS operating system, upgrading that software to the latest version, which is 8.1.3 may resolve this issue.

I use Blackberry and normally the hotmail is pushed to my Blackberry but not it won't work and I got e-mail to leave email messages on the client sever (mozilla) but I don't know how to do it.

This is what I have been told to do.If you use an email client (e.g. Microsoft(R) Outlook(R), Mozilla(R) Thunderbird(TM), etc.) to access your [email protected] messages, change your email client settings to leave your email messages on the server. If the email client does not leave email messages on the server, the BlackBerry(R) Internet Service may not be able to deliver them to your BlackBerry(R) device.

ICloud mail: iPhone creates Deleted Messages folder for Trash mail?

I had a problem with one iCloud email account which I've spent half a day truing to sort so though I'd post what happened here in case anyone knows how it happened or in case anyone has the same problem. The problem centres around the Trash folder.
On all the other accounts (all iCloud email) the folders are replicated and all work. So Sent, Archive, Drafts and Trash are there. Deleting a mail on the iPhone, on the Mac or the Cloud puts the mail in the Trash (with the bin icon) and it's visible on all three devices in the same location (albeit the phone uses the Deleted Messages name for trash which is a bit dumb IMO considering it's called Trash everywhere else!!).
One account though seems to be in a mess. In the Cloud the folder structure is correct and all with the icons. The first problem is when adding the account to the phone.
First up, when selecting the various behaviours you can see the Deleted Messages icon with the bin icon to select for deleted messages (I do think this is confusing though - why not use the same folder name as appears in IMAP mail - Trash???) BUT there is also a folder called Trash that the phone can see in IMAP but that doesn't exist in the iCloud folder structure. Why this folder is even visible I don't know because on iCloud mail there are no user created folders at all, just the default icons and folder names.
When I send a message to the address on the iPhone and delete it from there the iPhone creates a Deleted Messages folder that is visible on iCloud mail. When I select the bin/trash icon on mail on the phone the mail is in there. The bin / Trash folder on iCloud remains empty and the Deleted Messages folder has the deleted mail.
So the first issue seems to be that the phone is seeing a folder that isn't there or that somehow the correctly named Trash folder with the icon has become named Trash when the phone sees it, and has a generic folder icon. Either way, I can't delete this Trash folder.
How it seems to have got fixed was that after trying all manner of things I went to Preferences on iCloud. I told iCloud to store messages in Deleted Messages. I then deleted the Deleted Messages folder then suddenly this Trash folder the phone had been seeing became visible. I then deleted that too and on checking back the Preferences had defaulted back to Trash, the only available option now.
Having gone back to the iPhone the bin icon is still next to the Deleted Messages folder but that Trash folder had gone. There were no other user defined folders either
I then tested sending messages to the account and deleting them from the phone, Mac and Cloud and they all went to the right place (Trash) and were all visible.
I'd had a problem ages ago where random mailboxes were appearing under the separate email names BELOW where the default boxes are listed and below any On My Mac folders. I'm wondering whether at some stage, with an old Google hangover, whether I'd selected 'Use this Mailbox for' when these random boxes appeared which might have renamed or messed with the routing of boxes in the Cloud.

That's the way it works. Push notifications are only triggered when you get "new" mail. Other actions, like deleting, reading, moving to a folder do not trigger a Push notification. Those actions only change things when you open the mail app.

Does Mail display # of new messages in the dock icon even when app is off?

I'm not sure if it does or not. I like how the new iCal icon in the dock displays the date even when the app isn't open.
I'd love if Mail would display the # of new messages in the dock icon without having to leave the application open all the time.
Otherwise, I just have to stick with Gmail Notifier.
Thanks for any insight!

you would have to leave the application opened.
hope this helps

Mail Merge creates blank document

After choosing an envelope template, I create a merge text box filled with data from a Numbers document. When I select Mail merge from the Edit menu, I'm prompted to choose the mail merge source and then I choose to create a new document (in stead of printer). The new document is created and opens to reveal my, say 30 envelopes, are now 60 envelopes. There is a blank envelope in between each envelope I've created. Trying to delete every other envelope doesn't work as it appears to be linked, therefore, deleting the one I created as well as the blank one.
What is it I can do to prevent the creation of the blank envelope in between the actual document?
Thank you.

Thank you for all of your help so far.
I can see that in the screenie of the merge document, there is an invisible character of some sort on the second page of the document. It shows as some sort of line ended with some sort of character.
When I look at the document in its original form with "show invisibles" on, there is nothing there.
If I start the document from scratch, I can create it without the extra pages. I beleive it is in the creation of the envelope templates. It seems to happen to each of the envelope templates.
Again, thank you for your help and continued support.

Mac mail - can't type message and reply not working.

mac mail working fine until today. Tried to set up a new message. Added address okay, put in subject okay but when I came to type text into main panel I get about three letters typed and the curser vanishes and I get an alert sound. And that's the way it stays.
Tried reboots and all the usual tricks.
Also trying to reply to an email does not work
Everything else appears alright. Incoming mail is okay.
Can anybody help me out here? Desparately need to be back online.

This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

"View Mail for Exc?" message all the time

This works. But I all the time the message "View Mail for Exc?".
With the options "View" or "Exit".

How can I stop this message to be shown?
I have a ASHA 300.
Thanks,

Try rebuilding your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file, but don't empty the Trash yet.
3. Restart Mail and allow it to import your existing messages; when it's finished your index will have been rebuilt. Check to see if that message still shows as unread and if so, mark it as read, quit Mail and restart it to see if it turns up as Unread again. If not, then your problem is resolved.

How Can I delete multiple messages from the same address in Mac Mail

Hope this is in the correct Community. Hope someone can help me to delete multiple email messages from the same email address.
At the moment I can do it by holding down the Command key and highlighting each email, but that can be difficult with many messages
to delete. Is there a quicker way?
Thanks for any help on this.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate your input. I did find another way of doing it and that is to highlight the first e-mail, hold down the shift key and click on the last one. That highlights them all and then they can all be deleted. Your ideas also work of course and I thank you for that. Cheers.
