Mail messages sometimes displaying twice

Lately, Mail sometimes displays new messages that have just arrived twice. There don't seem to be 2 actual copies of the message in the inbox, just the same messages displayed twice. It's kind of an odd behavior, really. If a message is clicked on and viewed in the preview window, the duplicate displayed doesn't change from unread to read. However, if a message is deleted both lines displaying the message go away and only one appears in the trash.
This doesn't happen all of the time, just sometimes. Shutting down mail and reopening it gets rid of the duplicated message displays, but then some other time checking mail it will happen again.
Anybody have any ideas on how to make this go away permanently? Thanks in advance.

You’re welcome.
I don’t know what’s going on here. It looks as if the the account had been set up twice in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, even though you say it appears there only once...
Try re-creating the file where the account settings are stored:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the Mail folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this solves the problem).
4. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
5. You’ll have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
6. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
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 folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Prevent that error messages are displayed twice

Hi All!
How can I prevent that error messages are displayed twice.
The FuBa is called at the backend more than one time (at least twice)
therefore I get every message twice.
Regards
sas

Sas-
I'm not sure if I understood your problem. Are you saying that you have a service which you call in a loop, and display the error message in the loop as well? If so an option would be to have a [HashMap|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html] where the key is the error message id, and the value is the error message. In the loop check if the error message id returned by your service already exists in the map and add it only if absent. Then after your loop is complete use the MessageManager to display your consolidated error messages.

Please post a short, concise, executable example of what you're trying to do. This does not have to be the actual code you are using. Write a small example that demonstrates your intent, and only that.

HT5361 Is it possible to embed raw latex into a mail message to display an equation?

Hi,
Is it possible to embed raw latex (or any other meta data format like HTML) into a mail message? I would really like to be able to send equations directly without converting them to PDF or GIF first.
Thanks,
Joe

I just borrowed a quadratic equation from the MathML Wikipedia site and grafted it into an HTML document. It imaged fine in Safari 7. It should be noted that neither the latest Google Chrome or FIrefox rendered the same content accurately.
Laying out your entire email message (including MathML) in HTML can be tedious. Once it is displayed in the browser, each use of the command+I will put the browser content in a new Mail compose window. So, you cannot add an equation to existing Mail composition. Select, copy and paste (or paste and match style) will not work either.
Depending on the importance you place on email equations, at one time, Design Science (MathType) claimed compatibility with Apple Mail (4.5) where you could input your equation in MathType and it could then be placed within the email. The mail recipient would not need a copy of MathType installed for this to work. MathType even allows you to key your equation in with LaTeX syntax to generate the equation.
You could check with them about functionality (or restrictions) with Mail 6 and 7 on OS X, as it might provide a more productive way to achieve your goals.

How do I get incoming mail messages to display in plain text?

Recently some incoming messages are virtually unreadable because they are in rich text format and render with incredibly small font size. They are mostly coming from work colleagues using Windows. Recently I upgraded yo Yosemite and they were upgraded to Windows 7: im not sure if either is relevant.
I'm sure there's a trick somewhere to increase the viewing font size after the message displays, but I'd rather it displayed legibly in the first place...
Any ideas?

If I take the above preferences and change them from Arial 14 to Arial 144 I can get the body in about half of my current messages to display in 144 pt font.
It varies by mail client of sender and to which mail box it goes to on my Mac. Haven't found a commonality yet.
Someone here will have a brilliant answer, however.

Messages get displayed twice

I've got this global messages entry in my main JSP page that has a bunch of JSTL import in it. That main JSP page has one tag :
<h:panelGroup id="panelMsg">
 <h:graphicImage width="1" height="10" url="/images/spacer.gif"/>
 <h:messages id="msgRpf" globalOnly="true" styleClass="message" layout="table"/>
</h:panelGroup>Whenever there is a message that has to be displayed we do it via a global method in our backingBean and the code is very simple :
protected void addMessage(String message){
 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage(message);
 context.addMessage(null, msg);
}The problem is if we have to display two messages, instead of beaing added to the first one, another message block gets displayed, hence we have two messages panel displayed with one message each, instead of one panel with two messages in it.
I tried adding the ID in the context.addMessage method, but it doesn't get displayed...
Any help or clues would be appreciated
Thanks
-Ben

Maybe more code is needed to help...

...If we add 3 messages from our backing bean, instead of adding 3 lines with the corresponding text, 3 different "blocks" of text appear on the page. If I use the .getMessages() and Iterate through the messages, I only see one message instead of the 3 that should be there.
Any one have a clue ?
Thanks in advance.

Mail message viewer displays wrong message

Here's a strange one, started a couple of days ago: for most new messages, when I select the message in the upper pane, the message displayed in the viewing pane is not the one I selected.
For example: a new message comes in from Joe, I click on it, but what I see is the text of a message from Dave that's three years old (and of course still sitting in my inbox---I can go find it and look at that one too, and it still displays normally). The messages I'm seeing in error are old messages in my Inbox, coming up in order, starting around message 500 (there are almost 2000 messages in my inbox). I can't read the content of the new message using Mail.
My Mail is set up to leave everything on the server (it's an IMAP account), which is lucky since I can then access the mail by other means. For example, the Mail program on my laptop still functions normally, so I've been reading mail that way. In fact my two computers are both running OS 10.6.4, with identical Inboxes. Could there be some difference between how my relatively new iMac and my 1.5-yr old MacBookPro handle mailboxes?
Other ideas?

this solved the problem for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12184634&#12184634
in short: in Mail select the broken mailbox, then go to the menuitem Mailbox -> Rebuild
Hope this helps.

Mail messages not displayed

Hello everyone,
After installing through the regular (no personalisation) installation, Leopard 10.5.6 on a Power Book G4, I cannot see anymore of my old emails in my inboxes!!!
I also see no activities in mail!
Yet the old emails are in the "Mail" folder in the "library" folder for the user.
I just dont see them in the in box, nor in the "sent messages" box.
Another erratic happening is that when opening mail, through the dock the "message window" does not open automatically, as it used to, unless you go in the "window" menu and select "message window".
Thanks for your help... because I have this problem happening on 2 different computers both PowerBook G4's!!!

while still searching the Apple Discussions I found the following thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8967892&#8967892
here it is mentioned that you have also to remove the two files named MessageSorting.plist and MessageSorting.plist.backup and voila Mail is running again.
Apple should update their info TS2537 with this info. I think these two other files have made it from the Panther-time to Tiger and now in Leopard they cause this problem (maybe).
Anyway Mail is now up and running on my updated MacBook.

Contact photos in Yosemite Mail messages don't display

My contacts all have photos and email addresses defined but mail messages only display the "initials" icon instead of their photo. This seems to be happening on both of my Macs and my iOS devices.
Anyone experiencing this found a fix? Thanks in advance.

Forms Error Message displayed twice

But on clicking the save button to commit the changes in the form, the validation trigger fires and the error message is displayed twice. This is once for the item and at the other at the form level.
The error message has to be displayed only once i.e. while submitting the form by clicking the save button. Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: sri_menon on Sep 24, 2008 8:30 AM

Do you alter the data in your Character Item through a program unit? Since you only have a WVI trigger at the item level, something in the form is causing the status of the item to become "Dirty" or "Invalid" after the WVI trigger fires. Therefore, Forms fires the WVI trigger again. Something else you can try is to turn "Debug Messages" on (go to Preferences => Runtime tab => check Debug Messages). This will display an Alert for each trigger that fires during Runtime. Then you can record all of the triggers that fire after the WVI trigger fires the first time. Once you know which trigger fire between the first execution of the WVI and the second execution of WVI then you can put break points in these triggers and then run the Form with the Debugger and see what it happening during the validate cycle. If you are using Form6i, the debugger is very easy to use. If you on Form 9 or greater, there is some setup that must be done to debug the web deployed form, but it well worth the setup to be able to debug your form.
Hope this helps.

How can I save mail messages to my computer and not my mail program

My mail program seems to be slow. I'm not sure why. I get the spinning ball frequently. I need to save mail messages sometimes for a few years and there are hundreds of emails. Is it better to save them on my computer than my mail program? I may need to retrieve them at some other time so they need to be readable. Is that possible?
I'm using OS X 10.9.4. I have a 3.06 GHz processor and 12 GB of memory. Thanks

You can select to export a folder to save as a .mbox file. This file would need to be imported if you wanted to view the messages.
Select mailbox (folder)
Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Export Mailbox...
You might also want to check out the demo for EagleFiler by the author for SpamSieve. You could view and search the messages archived in EagleFiler.

Regarding Mail being slow....
Is it only Mail that is slow? How much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility to find available space.

Sent mail messages disappearing randomly, do you know why?

I had this HUGE bug in the past, but was fixed (at least for me) with Lion. Now it's back.
When I send a mail message sometimes, randomly, the message is sent BUT not showing in the sent folder or elsewhere. The message simply disappears.
This is not acceptable, I NEED to keep track of my sent messages!
This is a deal breaker, I'm forced to move to Thunderbird or something else, at least for a while, until this bug is tracked and fixed again.
Any suggestion?

Hi James, thank you for helping.
I'm using Apple Mail 6.1 with IMAP on an italian provider (Aruba). My problem is only with Apple Mail, my iPhone and my iPad are ok. I'm using iCloud as a secondary email with no issues (at least for what I can see).
If I check via web browser I can't see the sent message, but I know it was sent.
This issue is very random. After the update to 10.8.2 I had 2 messages gone. I had the same problem with both Leopard and Snow Leopard, was fixed with Lion (same Mac, same email provider).
This is a console entry with an error message:
28/09/12 09:18:44,118 Mail[38324]: Error (null) occurred while trying to append messages to outgoing store. Ignoring and proceeding with delivery...

Outlook can not display htmldb mail message correctly

We are using some applications which constructed by HTML DB. All mail messages from HTML DB applications can not be displayed correctly in Outlook, but they are displayed very well in Netscape mail client. This issue happens in both HTML DB 1.5 and 1.6. Therefore, I am not sure this is HTML DB mail package issue or outlook issue. Have anyone experienced this issue. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is a sample in our application.

This was not well documented, but we have improved the doc for the next relase. Essentially, you need a carriage return / line feed every 1000 characters. This is part of the SMTP spec. The package does not do this automatically for you, so try adding them yourself. You can use utl_tcp.crlf for the crlf.
