Mail messages not moving to trash seemingly until reopening Mail

I have posted about mail messages disappearing after moving them between mailboxes (a nightmare!). I tried several things, deleting preferences, rebuilding mailboxes, etc. The particular dissappearing message symptom is yet to reappear.
However, yesterday the prelude behavior returned.... when I delete a message, it remains in the inbox. I have to quit and restart mail for it to be moved to the trash. It matters not whether I use the delete key on the highlighted message, use the trash tool button, or the "move to trash" command in the "Message" menu. There is other weird associated behavior with the highlighting of a particular message jumping arround (if other messages were unsuccessfully deleted) when this happens too.
I also have the funky search problems in Mail others have described (sometimes working, sometime not).
All this started with Mavericks.... what a mess. Any ideas on a fix... what we need here is a serious software fix from Apple!!!!!!

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Images in Mail messages NOT moving

I used to have messages with .gif images show the movement in the message window. Now when I check my email and it has an image which is supposed to wave, or walk, etc. there is no movement unless I drag it to the desktop and open it in preview, but then it only shows a set of images which will move if you click through them fast enough.
What can do to get the images to move again in mail.

Greetings,
You've posted in the Leopard forum, even though you're running Snow Leopard. You need to pay closer attention to be sure you're posting in the correct forum for the OS you're running. I will have the moderators move it.
What can do to get the images to move again in [M]ail.
You can't. The ability to see moving .gif images in Mail was removed in Leopard, without any notice by Apple. You can send them to others, but you won't see them move if they are sent to you.

Its says its downloading but its not moving further. its seems like its not downloading

its says its downloading but its not moving further. its seems like its not downloading

It takes a while to get going. If you see no movement for about half an hour restart and it should begin the DL.
YOu should at least see a loading bar under your Launchpad icon.

Is07 backgound too bright in mail, messages, notes, calendar

Hello! I just upgraded to is07 and the bright white background in the iphone apps like mail, messages, notes, and calendar is hard on my eyes. How can we change this to a darker background? Thank you!

Matthew,
I don't correspond with anyone using Lotus. Are you using a POP account, or IMAP account with this server?
I am not very expectant of this helping, but open one of these messages, and then click on Message in the Menubar, and in its pull-down place the cursor on Text Encodings, and try some choices, other than Automatic. Test first with Unicode at the bottom of the list, and then with Western (Mac Mail). Let us know if this alters anything.
Next, after opening such a message, click on View, place the cursor on Message, and choose Raw Source -- is the text of the message now readable?

Windows live mail having problum after joining in domain examples incoming is good but sent or outgoing is not there and also send mails are not exporting at the time of live mail exporting time?

windows live mail having problem after joining in domain examples incoming is good but sent or outgoing is not there and also send mails are not exporting at the time of live mail exporting time?

This is not usually related to AD issues, but it may be more of a DNS issue. I posted a request in your other thread to post an unedited ipconfig /all of the DC and of the client.
This may help use diagnose this issue and your other thread's printer issues.
Thank you,

Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247

Hi
Can you please HELP??
I recently had to change my hard drive for my laptop (Sony Vaio). The IT guy replaced my HDD and ghost all my information
from old to new drive. Everything works perfect except for Windows Live Mail.
When I open WLM I get this error:
“Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing
Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)”
I have since done the following:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 1:
1. Close Windows Live Mail and any other Windows Live programs.
2. Click Start (then Run for
Windows XP), paste the following path below and press Enter:
%Localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars
3. Rename the folder of the account you use to sign in to Windows Live Mail to
sync your calendar (ex. rename [email protected] to [email protected]).
4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
5. Launch Windows Live Mail again.
THIS DID NOT WORK SO I DID THE FOLLOWING:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 2:
I removed WLM (uninstall) and reinstalled and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 3:
I also renamed the WLM folder and reinstalled WLM, then deleted the new WLM folder and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 4:
I also tried to import my emails from WLM to Microsoft Outlook but I only have a copy of my mails from the directory.
I do not have an EXPORT copy saved anywhere. Is there any way I can export the WLM to Microsoft outlook?
PLEASE HELP I AM AT WITS END.

I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete? Thanks.

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.

IMAP Mail Messages Deleted Not Moved to Trash on Server

Hi, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the server to update my account after I delete e-mail messages using my IMAP account in Mail. I am using Mail Version 2.0.7 and my Mailbox Behaviors in Preferences>Accounts for Trash are set to Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and NOT TO Store deleted messages on the server, and I Permanently erase deleted messages that are One week old. My question is, even after I move messages to my Trash, then right click on it and delete them permanently, they are still hanging out on the server, and I can see them through my online account, even after syncing. I set my online Preferences for Composing to Move Deleted Messages to Deleted Messages, but it is never happening, unless I delete them again online. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great! Thanks,
Justen

Have you tried rebuilding (Menubar > Mailbox > Rebuild) the Inbox, Trash, and other associated mail folders? (If Rebuild is grayed out and you have multiple accounts, you will have to expand the view of the Inbox, Trash, and other associated mail folders containing these messages and select each affected account's Inbox, Trash, and others, separately, so Rebuild won't be grayed out.)

Mail not saving sent messages, not moving Junk messages

Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with OS Mail. I've set it up to use an IMAP account, and have set my preferences such that Mail should save all my sent messages in the Sent folder (I assume the Sent folder on my computer, not the one on my IMAP server). Regardless, neither my IMAP server's sent folder nor my computer's sent folder contain any messages that I've sent, and I have confirmed that these messages have in fact been received by the recipients (therefore successfully sent). I am unsure of how to resolve this issue, as there is no obvious setting change for me to persue. I just received this computer (new) a few days ago, so I wouldn't expect this problem to be due to disk maintenance/management, etc.
Also, I have noticed that Junk messages remain highlighted and in my inbox. I changed my prefs to have these messages be placed in my Junk Mail folder. Mail asked me whether I wanted to apply that preference to older messages marked as junk that have yet to be put in the folder; I indicated yes. Nothing happened, and the Junk Mail folder remained empty (until I manually moved the messages to it). Any ideas?
I have searched the forums for related issues and could only find problems that had an associated error message with it; my issue is different in that there are no error messages; Mail is simply ignoring my preferences. Thanks in advance,
Vic

In OS X Mail, this sent folder appears as a subdirectory
(sub "mailbox"?) under my "Inbox" mailbox along with
other folders that are mapped on my IMAP account.
This means you haven't set up your account properly. You probably should set Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix to INBOX, or something like that.
After putting the right string in the IMAP Path Prefix field, either the IMAP folders will appear somewhere else in Mail (i.e. not as subfolders of Inbox), or your problem will have already been fixed. Let me know what happens.
I should probably mention (just realized) that in my
account settings, my outgoing SMTP server is set to
be my ISP's server (which is different from my IMAP
provider).
I wonder if, by selecting "save messages on server"
I am saving these messages somewhere on my ISP?
Mail should still save the sent messages where you've told it to. It's Mail, not the SMTP server, that stores the sent messages. The SMTP server has no bearing on this, but it was a good idea to consider that possibility, nevertheless.
When I uncheck this option, perhaps my mail will
be stored on my local computer instead?
Yes, that's what would happen, but don't uncheck that option if you really want your sent messages to be stored on the IMAP server, or do it temporarily, so that Mail does at least save them somewhere until we fix the problem, but I believe I already know what the problem is.

Mail app not automatically deleting trash emails

iTunes 11.1.2.32 Windows 7 32 Bit
iPhone 4S (and iPhone 4)
iOS 7.0.3
I have my own domain name for my email.
I can access via POP3 SSL and IMAP SSL
My first iPhone was a 4 which i used July 2010 to July 2012. I July 2012 i upgraded to my current 4S.
I use Windows Mail on my PC to access my email via POP3 SSL as i have no need to keep messages on a server any longer than i need to.
I use the Mail app on my iPhone to access the messages via IMAP SSL. Up until iOS 7 i would check my emails using the iPhone and delete any messages to the Trash folder On My iPhone (not on the server). I would have it set to delete the deleted messages After One Day so i had a 24 hour safety buffer.
This way i could use the iPhone as a quick check on my email and also use it as a Spam filter. If i needed to reply to an email from my iPhone I would and cc myself in if i needed a copy. One or twice a week i would fire up the PC and download the messages in the Inbox to the PC in Windows Mail.
This arrangement worked flawlessly for 3 years until i updated to iOS 7. Now the deleted messages in my Trash folder stay there until i manually remove them. I've tried:
-deleting and resetting up the account again in the iPhone
-changing the setting to One Month, saving the change and then setting it back to One Day and saving the setting.
-checked with my domain/email provider that i'm using the correct settings.
-changed IMAP Path Prefix from \ to INBOX, which works the first time but then fails to work again (i.e. each time i change it to \ and then back to INBOX it clears everything over a day old at that point but then doesn't do it again)
My wife has my old iPhone 4 without a SIM and uses it as an email checker for her account as well as for surfing the net and Facebook etc. She has the same setup as me (but seperate email account on my Domain) it all worked fine on that too until the update to iOS 7.
Is there a setting that might have gone out of line here or something i've missed?

There are actually two settings that could have a bearing on this:
Preferences > General > Check for New Mail
Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Include when automatically checking for new mail
Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Do you have any Mail plug-ins or any system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/StartupItems/
/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Also, open System Preferences, and go to Accounts > Login Items. What do you see there?
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

Voice Mail Messages not reaching e-mail boxes

I have an Exchange 2010 server and a Panasonic phone system with voice mail. Until recently my users could transfer voice mail messages to their e-mail as an attached WAV file. I have not made any significant changes that should affect this functionality.
I worked with a voice system technician who verified that the messages are being created and sent by the VM System. However, they are no longer being delivered to the users e-mail box.
I checked to make sure that the password is correct for the mail account, I have white listed the voicemail system in the Exchange Server, and I have tested e-mail to and from the special e-mail account established for this purpose and all seem to work correctly.
I am wondering if there is some new security requirement or SPAM filter in Exchange which might be getting in the way.

See:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124531(v=exchg.141).aspx
By default, the Receive connector protocol log files are located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\TransportRoles\Logs\ProtocolLog\SmtpReceive, and the Send connector protocol log files are located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\TransportRoles\Logs\ProtocolLog\SmtpSend.
The directory must be local to the Exchange 2010 computer.
If Exchange received the message, you can also check message tracking on the Exchange Server.

New mail messages not appearing in Inbox

Hi there,
I IMAP my email at work using Mail. Sometimes, messages don't appear in the inbpx or Smart folder that I have set up. I have rules for most people which moves teh unread message into their respective mail folder on the mail server. Its only, when I click on a mail folder that the message appears in the folder, the Inbox and the Smart folder.
Any ideas? Is it my mail server or Mail thats is causing this??
regards, Chris

The message that you tried to send is probably stuck in Outbox, but it looks like Envelope Index may have gone awry as well, so let’s re-create both:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
5. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, locate Outbox.mbox and move it to the Desktop if you want to preserve any messages waiting there, or just trash it otherwise.
6. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
7. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
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.

SXMB_MONI: Message not moving

Hi,
I am doing a mail attachment to file scenario.
I have configured everything including CC. Now, the data is successfully getting picked from Mail and is visible in SXMB_MOni in Inbound Message ( CENTRAL ) --> Payloads but the message is not moving forward. Also, in RWB this CC is showing processing completed.
Please sugest what can be the reason and if any more steps are required.
Thanks,
Priya

Send Outgoing Mail Messages not working

I'm having trouble with a workflow that creates a new mail message, gets specified iCal items, creates a summary text file, attaches to mail message and then sends mail message. Everything is working except the mail message does not get sent. There are no logged error messages. I've experimented with changing up the order of the actions and noticed that when I place "Send Outgoing Messages" directly after "New Mail Message", the message gets sent without a problem. However in order for my workflow to make sense I need to have many intermediary steps before I trigger the send messages action.
Any clues on this problem. Thanks in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Cascanuit-
I'm relatively new to Automator as well and by no means a programmer. It does seem that the iCal actions available are pretty meager. I did a search at www.automatorworld.com and there are a few additional actions but none that call out specific menu items.
Another way to approach your desired workflow is to create an applescript that selects Export... from the File Menu. I know very little beyond the basics of applescript but I did cobble together the following:
tell application "iCal" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "iCal"
set frontmost to true
click menu item "Export…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 4
tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
end tell
Here's the weird part. This script works, but only sporadically. Sometimes it stalls at the selection of the Export button in the dialog box. I have no idea why it sometimes works and other times fails.
If someone could refine this script to make it bullet proof than you can simply incorporate it as an automator workflow and then save the created export file to another volume or anywhere you like.
Hope this helps some.

Opened mail messages not visible on screen

all of a sudden, when I open a mail message from my inbox, or any other mailbox, the message opens up on the top left side of my screen, but is only partially visible. I am unable to drag the message back into the center of the screen. Although I can click on and drag the bottom, right hand corner, that only increases the size of the message window, but does not unhide the rest of the message and the message header from the top, right hand side.
additionally, when I click on mail preferences, or about mail, the related info is no longer visible on the screen.
The mail inbox however, is fully visible.
thanks for any help with this.

quit Mail and start it again. is it still doing this? if so your Mail preferences are likely corrupt. quit Mail and delete (or move to the desktop) the file ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. ~ means your home directory. you can get to it by clicking on the house icon in the sidebar of any finder window or by going to /users/username.
then start Mail. you'll have to recreate all your email accounts so make sure you know all their settings. once recreated they will recognize their existing mailboxes. see if Mail behaves after that.
Alternatively, if you have a backup, restore com.apple.mail.plist from backup from before the problems with Mail started. Mail should not be running when you do this.
