Mail Issue in Snow Leopard

Back in November last year I asked my dentist to send me my xrays.They emailed me the xrays(attachmants),they were in black and white.(I use gmail) I used those for preemployment for my new job.About 3-4 weeks later I notice something was in the trash.I open trash and folder says best I rememeber,recovered files.I moved it out of trash and opened and info said SPARSBUNDLE. I open the folder and guess what is in the folder.TWO BEAUTIFUL COLOR PHOTOS of my xrays in MS WORD format.
  These xrays were not anywhere in the email as attachments. This was the first time to even see these files.I do not delete emails and have looked over an over and there is no email from my dentist with these color xrays. SO how did they get in the trash and what is a sparsbundle? I have googled sparsbundle but still do not understand how this happened.
Any help understanding this issue would be a great help. Thanks

  • Weird outgoing mail issues after snow leopard upgrade

    After upgrading to snow leopard a couple of weeks ago (then immediately to 10.6.5), I have been having trouble sending mail from my work machine on one account. After reading these forums and trying several solutions (listed below), the thing which seemed to work for me was deleting the outgoing mail server entry in the preferences pane and re-entering the information. However, this solution does not always work for me, and is only temporary; after some amount of time (variable? on the order of minutes?) the problem recurs.
    If I open connection doctor the server in question displays a "Connecting to server..." message for a long time (minutes) and then "Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you...". I get this behavior even just after resetting the smtp server, while I am successfully sending test emails.
    As with others here, the same account works fine on other machines.
    Things I have tried, on my own or based on advice read in the forums:
    1) specifying the port for the server in advanced settings
    2) Deleting and re-adding both the smtp server and the imap account
    3) Setting mobileme to manual sync
    4) "cd /var/log;touch mail.log;sudo chown root:admin mail.log; sudo chgrp 644 mail.log" (which doesn't produce any logs for me).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I for got to add
    5) repair permissions in disk utility
    6) reboot

  • Outgoing Mail issues with snow leopard

    I know this has come up before, but randomly Mail cannot send outgoing email. Fails to connect to outgoing sever. I'm at 10.6.6, and don't want to update because of font/pdf issues with 10.6.7. I have mac pro 2.8 quad. A friend who has updated to 10.6.7 has same problem with Mail. Last computer using Tiger was perfect. I've tried all fixes, and issue still occurs randomly. Can't apple patch this without a major update? Does apple read discussions and act on them?

    Hi,
    Not sure what, "I've tried all fixes" includes so try here.

  • Really stupid bugs in Mail 4.2 (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)

    Hi everyone,
    I decided to write about all bugs that I discovered in Mail 4.2 (Snow Leopard 10.6.2) since there is no known solution and since Apple's MobileMe Chat Support does not have any clue how to resolve this issues. First – I have three configured e-mail accounts: MobileMe, Gmail (IMAP) and third-party IMAP account.
    The issues are:
    1. IDLE command turned on causes new mail sound stop working. If I unchecked this option in all accounts (also MobileMe) the sound is back. If any of the accounts has this option checked, sound stops working again. So I found a workaround (not a solution) – I set checking for new mail to 'every 1 minute' and hoped everything would work.
    2. But it's not working as one could imagine... At first it is, but then, after some time for no known (at least to me) reason Mail doesn't receive any new mail from third-party IMAP account and Gmail. MobileMe is still working. I tried every solution that in my opinion could have helped: erasing account and setting it up again, rebuilding mailboxes, deleting envelope index file, repairing permissions etc. Nothing helped. I even installed once again Mac OS X 10.6.2 Combo Update to be perfectly sure I did everything.
    3. Next bug I discovered is with sending e-mails. Since I sometimes want to have access to my draft messages from internet I checked 'Store draft messages on the server' checkbox. Now... when composing a message in Mail app it's momentarily saved on the server, whether it has attachments or not. Then when the message is complete I push the Send button and the message is being sent. The reasonable mail app would then delete the draft version of this message from the Drafts folder. But not Mail 4.2, regardless in which e-mail account the message is stored. It doesn't delete the draft, what's more then synchronizes it with my other computer and then I have to log to webmail to delete the unwanted draft messages manually. VERY annoying.
    Please let me know if you have similar problems or maybe anyone has a solution?
    Pawel

    It is my thought and contention that #1 is not a bug, but purposeful -- see:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11160423#11160423
    With regard to #2, have you ever removed the Envelope Index without first removing any IMAP or Exchange account folders? If so, that can problematic. I cannot confirm any of the experiences you are having. I have 15 accounts, 7 of which are IMAP, and the latter include one Gmail and one MobileMe, and none of these issues are present. Have you tried creating a New User Account and setting your IMAP and Gmail up as that New User to further test the application itself?
    The issue with Drafts being saved beyond their apparent usefulness is not new to Mail 4.2 -- happened with some frequency in all versions of Mail 3.x, and probably less frequently in 4.2. When it has happened, which is relatively infrequently for me, it has been seen in POP and IMAP alike.

  • Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

    I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
    Some additional information  - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
    As it stands now,
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
    Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
    If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

    The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
    If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
    Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
    Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

  • How do I change incoming mail settings in Snow Leopard Mail?

    When I try to change the settings for my Mail app, in Snow Leopard, the incoming mail settings are greyed out.  What do I do to be able to change these?
    (I had a problem, with my Mail account, which a consultant fixed for me on my laptop.  But I cannot remember what he did to access the incoming mail server preferences, and make the changes, because on my desktop these are still greyed out.)

    use the mail setup wizard, head over to Mail Community, mobileme ended.

  • Fstab causes .dmg mounting issues in Snow Leopard

    I am having this odd issue is Snow Leopard with fstab. If I use valid partition UUIDs in fstab to regulate mounting, then .dmg volumes do not get mounted properly (or at least get mounted in such a way that Finder has issues). After mounting, the .dmg volume is greyed out in Finder, but any subdirectory of the root directory of the volume can be accessed using the Go To option. After mounting, there also appear two alias for the volume on the desktop neither of which do anything.
    Looking at mount after mounting a .dmg I get:
    /dev/disk1 on /Volumes/Pacifist 2.5.2 (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners, quarantine, mounted by yarmola)
    Which is normal.
    I can access the volume through terminal without any issues as well. If I unmount the volume (via hdiutil or Disk Utility for example) it unmounts, but the two aliases on the Desktop remain and do not disappear.
    My fstab simply looks like this:
    UUID=6B12B7BA-4469-3344-8121-1939A6B0219F /Library/Mounts/Protected/SCUBA hfs rw
    If I remove that, or change it to use LABEL or to a non valid UUID (i.e. one that is not a non-root partition UUID) then .dmg volumes mount fine. The actual partition filesystem does get mounted.
    In system log I get the following error messages:
    Oct 23 15:05:18 rdev-cl-19-imal hdiejectd[642]: running
    Oct 23 15:05:20 rdev-cl-19-imal com.apple.KernelEventAgent[52]: KernelEventAgent: sysctl_queryfs: Operation not supported on socket
    Oct 23 15:05:20 rdev-cl-19-imal mds[50]: (Error) Volume: sysctl_queryfs failed: Operation not supported on socket
    Any ideas?

    It's possible the dmgs are not compatible with your verson of SL or even with SL.  The latest version is OS 10.6.7.
    Did you read the system requirements of the files you are trying to download?

  • AT&T Yahoo Mail Problems since Snow Leopard

    Before my upgrade to SL I used an AT&T Yahoo POP account in Mail. When I upgraded to SL, the account upgraded without a problem. I am now trying to add my husband's AT&T Yahoo POP account and I keep getting the following message:
    "Logging in to the att.net POP server “pop.att.yahoo.com” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages."
    All of the settings are correct for both incoming and outgoing servers (I checked them on-line and over the phone with AT&T Technical Support) and the username and password are correct because I am able to log into the account on the web without a problem. The account is also working fine on an iphone.
    I also tried re-installing Mail from my Snow Leopard Disk under Custom Installs and that did not help.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Read the ENTIRE thread above and tried just about everything. All of my email accounts that existed before the upgrade seem to be working (POP AT&T account and Mobile Me). I consider myself lucky since so many people on the board can't say that.
    No matter what I try, I can't add a new POP AT&T account or an Exchange account. I was able to add an IMAP Gmail account. I keep getting a message telling me that my password for the account I am trying to add has been rejected by the server.
    Mail is not saving my password in the settings. I've added it countless times. I've tried with authentication and without. I've changed port settings. I had my ISP open port 25 while on the phone with them without success. I've repaired my keychains. I've deleted SMTP items in my keychain and replaced them. I've done it on my desktop and have created new desktops to try it with. Can't add a new account.
    No matter how many times I enter the password (which I know with 100% certainty is correct) I keep getting the rejection message and it never "saves" the password in the Mail preferences.
    Sigh...

  • Mail and Gmail issues in Snow Leopard

    I've used Gmail with Mail for years, and it has suddenly stopped behaving. Mostly it takes *forever* for a message to be sent, but downloading messages can also take it's sweet time. I have several Gmail address I check, all are doing this. iPad and iPhone both work fine, so the issue seems to be isolated to the laptop.
    I'm running Snow Leopard on a MacBookPro from mid-2009.
    Many thanks for help.
    marie

    Yes.  I'm having a whole series of problems with Mail.app and GMail.  The problems are pretty well documented (links below), but I haven't seen any good fixes or heard any indication that Apple is taking them seriously.

  • My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion) will not log into my 1and1 server to connect to my e mail. My snow leopard macbook does not have this problem - Apple support say it is a 1and1 problem! do I have to wait for an update of Mountain Lion?

    My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.1) will not log into my 1and1 outgoing mail server. ( It will receive mail - but does not send)My old Snow Leopard macbook does not have the same problem ( server settings etc. are identical) . Apple Support say its a 1and1 problem , 1and1 say it is an operating System prob - I have tried changing port numbers.

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • Continued Issues with Snow Leopard?

    I was hesitant to install Snow Leopard when it was released late summer of last year. I just bought the family pack to install on my Macbook Pro 09 and MacBook 07.
    Has Apple offered an update to the OS since it was released to fix most of the common issues/glitches? I remember hearing people last year complaining that it crashed iMovie and Garage Band during exports, etc.
    If problems still plagued the OS, what are the most popular? The apps I use most of the time are Adobe Acrobat, Adobe CS4 - mostly Photoshop, iMovie, iWork, iPhoto, iDVD, MS Office, and mail. Everything works perfectly in Leopard 10.5.8.
    Should I upgrade now or continue to wait?

    There have been problems with fonts in various versions and extra bugs have been added to how Preview converts .eps, ai and .ps files to .pdf.
    ColorSync problems remain unresolved/ignored.
    Others have reported standing unaddressed issues in some of Apple's Pro apps.
    From what I understand the speed increases have been mostly apocryphal and the installation has shrunk only because less was installed, as people with printing problems have discovered.
    My AppleCare contact claims Apple gets less support calls with SL but then seemed to be ignorant of most of the issues I had previously reported back to Apple.
    Hard to know what to believe.

  • Trouble dragging emails to folder in Mail app after snow leopard upgrade.

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, the mac mail app is not dragging emails into a folder (mailbox) the same as it was before. If I select multiple images, then drag them into a folder, it leaves some of them out, and only drags some of them, so I have to go back and find reselect the images it didn't move and drag them into the folder again.
    It doesn't always happen, but I find it happens most of the time. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

    Same issue here. Specifically, it seems to be an issue when the emails aren't all right next to each other.
    I thought 10.6.2 would fix it, but no such luck.

  • Google mail outage and Snow Leopard's mail/address book bugs. Coincidence?

    I'm going out on a limb here, but it just occurred to me, reading through all the problems people are having with Snow Leopard's upgrade to Mail and Address book AND the Gmail outages last week. Many of us had our preferences set to sync with Google (and Yahoo, although Yahoo doesn't seem to be a problem . . . yet). I know that when I did my first sync after the upgrade, all **** broke loose in my Address book, with double and triple entries, inability to update entries, address book in Mail is different than the Address Book application, proper. Etc, etc.
    And all of my problems were duplicated in Google's address book. I deleted the link between the two, and reinstalled Mail and Address book applications from the Snow Leopard install disk. That stopped the sync problems (screwed up my .Mac, royal, the first time. Fortunately I had a good archive and back up. But Time machine was useless in this case.) But, Address book and Mail are still very buggy.
    Any way . . . I'm wondering if the problems at Google, considering the coincidence of time line, might have something to do with this upgrade and the number of Apple users attempting to upgrade and sync.
    Just a thought. Probably no connection.
    Thanks, I hope Apple gets this fixed soon. It's very frustrating.

  • Laserjet 8000DN issue with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    Hello,
    I am having a connectivity issue with a LaserJet 8000DN. The previous iMac was connected to the printer via a D-Link switch, and I assume it was using AppleTalk via Ethernet to read the printer. The OS installed on that machine was OS X Leopard.
    We had to replace the iMac, and the unit we purchased is a new Intel iMac 21.5" with 10.6.2 fully updated. In doing my research, I understand the drivers are already installed and need not be updated.
    My steps thus far:
    1) Print the configuration file from the printer.
    2) System Prefs>Print and Fax>Add Printer
    3) Choose JetSocket
    4) Select IP and enter the IP Address from the configuration file.
    5) Click Add.
    The dialogue indicates that it's trying to connect and shows a configure or cancel button. I choose configure and the printer appears in my list with a green indicator showing that the iMac sees it.
    However, when I send a job to the printer, I continuously get the "unable to connect to the printer, will try again in 30 seconds" message. I have tried every possible combination, i.e. LDP etc., to no avail.
    A phone call to Apple did not provide a solution, even when we connected the printer directly to the Ethernet Port which really isn't an option anyway.
    Other Information:
    a) I suspect my problem is directly tied to the unavailability of Apple Talk in Snow Leopard.
    b) I have a static I.P. address assigned to the Mac from our ISP in the 176.xxx range - and The I.P. for the printer shows as 192.xxx - Is this a conflict?
    c) I am not using an Airport - We are stuck with a Westell DSL Router that has no ports available.
    d) Someone suggested a Print Server connected to the D-Link so that the iMac and the Dell on the network could use the printer.
    Any enlightenment will be extremely appreciated - This is a crucial operation for our business, and if it requires that we look for a new printer solution, we will need to move ahead swiftly.
    Thanks!

    a) The reason you cannot configure as you have been able to do in the past is because of the lack of AppleTalk, but you should be able to reconfigure things to work.
    b) If your printer is at an address which is outside of the subnet mask of the router, that is a problem.
    c) If you have a router, but not enough ports, the switch provides more ports.
    d) The printer is network capable, so you do not need a print server.
    So it looks like your problems are from your network setup.
    I take it that your ISP has provided you with a fixed IP address. You should have the output of the modem connect to the WAN port of the router. The LAN ports should be connected to your computers and other network devices, and if you need more ports, connect one port to the switch, and connect the other devices to it.
    The router should be configured to connect to the internet through its WAN port. From that, it should distribute that connection to your computers, to the addresses it is configured to provide. Those are usually in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range, but could be different. You should be able to change them. If the router LAN address is 192.168.1.0 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.000, the things that you connect to it can have address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255.
    You should be able to change the address on the printer if you need to. The instructions should be in the printer documentation, or available on the HP website.
    You probably have all the hardware you need, but you need to look at your network configuration, decide whether it is correct or not, and make adjustments to get this working.
    A word of warning: If you have a fixed IP address because you have a server connected directly to the Internet, you need to configure your router appropriately. If you do not understand all of this, you may need someone familiar with network setup to help you.
