Mail not showing HTML properly in Leopard

Hi there,
I've successfully been sending HTML newsletters out via the email application "Thunderbird" (which handles HTML well) on OSX to clients using mail. But since leopard's release, clients using Mail on said system don't seem to receive HTML properly. All the hyperlinks are discarded etc.
Can anyone suggest any work around or shed some light on this please ASAP as it is urgent.
Cheers,
James

Not sure if this is related to your problem, but here goes...
I had the problem that Mail 3.0 was not displaying HTML properly after first installing Leopard. Mail from various sources would display as plain text, instead of HTML. The NY Times does not look so great that way. It was messy... I found information on this forum to edit the com.apple.mail.plist file with a program called PrefSetter. The default was set to "prefer plaintext". I changed the value to false, and it works well now. Every now and then it still does it, but I can fix it by shutting down and restarting Mail.app.

Yosemite Mail not showing recipients properly

Another problem has shown itself in Yosemite Mail - I just replied to an email that involved the reply going to a list of people.
But in the compose window, I can see only the first recipient in the Cc: window, and the cut-off tops of a second line of recipients only. There is no way to scroll down, and no way of enlarging that Cc: window. I'm only seeing one recipient in the Cc:, but can see that there are others even though I can't see them.
Anyone else seeing the same thing? I'm on an iMac, but the same thing happens on my MacBook Pro.
And I STILL can't find a list of contacts and their email addresses that will allow me to multi-select (Cmd-click) and then pop them into one of the address windows, like the old Address Panel used to do. The Panel that is now missing. Clicking the blue plus sign at the far right does NOT let you multi-select. It's one at a time - a real PITA.
If this problem of not showing at least two lines of addresses properly in the address windows on a new email is not just me, then that's another issue that needs to be submitted to
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Thanks for the rapid response
No extensions (I used to use Mail Tags, but it's long gone) - plain vanilla Mail.app
The primary recipient (in the To: field) showed OK, but in the Cc: field, I could just see the first recipient, and then there was obviously a second line of addresses - I could see the cut-off tops only - and I couldn't see the usual "...and 3 more" thing - it would have been at the end of that second line that I couldn't see.
Just to clarify - the problem does NOT seem to be when I initiate a new email. It was when I was replying to an email, and I clicked on "Reply All".
Also, somewhat disconcertingly, while Mail will find my Exchange contacts when I initiate an email, I tried to add an extra recipient to my Reply All email - and it wouldn't find that address and wouldn't let me add it from the blue plus sign. I couldn't add it to the Cc: field - I couldn't see the end of that field as described above. So I tried to add it to the To: field. No go...!
Something in the land of Yosemite Mail.app seems to be right royally screwed. Loads of problems by many people across this and several other forums. Amazing how it got through beta testing...!

Unread and read mail not showing in Mail after upgrading to Yosemite

Hi there,
I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
In the Mail app, mail is not showing up properly. I have unread mail, which is not showing up, despite me refreshing or sorting by unread first, and even an email I read this morning on Chrome isn't showing up, as you can see by screenshots.
How do I fix this issue?

Hi,
In Mail > Mailbox dropdown menu, try clicking on Rebuild at the bottom.

Mail not showing new messages on 10.8.3

Mail not showing new messages on 10.8.3, but messages show just fine on iPhone. Nothing changed to make this happen, not sure where to start. Thanks.

Back up all data.
Select the problem mailbox in the mailbox list, then select

from the menu bar.

Apple mail not showing all the messages?

In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though!

ScrollBars not showing up properly

I am displaying a JTree in a JScrollPane with default settings ie. both horizontal and vertical scroll bars will show up when the contents can not fit in to the scroll pane.In this case when i expand the tree nodes the scroll bars are not showing up properly.It looks like the foreground is not painted properly.The background color is white here.We are using custom look and feel, not the standard one. Any idea why it is so?
Thanx in advance

Leopard Mail Not Showing # Unread Messages in Dock Icon

For some inexplicable reason, my Leopard version of Mail has stopped showing unread message notifications. I still hear the mail ding, but there's no little red badge on the doc icon showing how many unread messages I have. And, yes, the "Dock unread count" is set to all mailboxes since I have multiple email accounts I check. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it?
Message was edited by: celticdreamz

Jeff Greenberg's response was brilliant! Thanks Jeff.
I have had 2 "unread mail" items showing up for weeks and have been agonizing over what and where they were, how important the "unread" mail was, and what life experiences, deals, etc., I was missing out on. Creating a Smart Mailbox showing Unread mail worked - one caveat however: Add a second condition - that the the Unread Mail be in your INBOX (forgetting to add this condition this showed me HUNDREDS of unread mail items that resided in my OTHER Smart Mailboxes).
It worked. I found, read, and deleted my "unread mail" - Nothing important. Thanks again!

Sent mail not showing in folder

Greetings,
Our Mac has three email accounts. For the last two days, one of the accounts does not show sent mail in the sent folder. The other two accounts are working properly. I have reviewed the MobileMe settings and the Preferences on Mac Mail and can't find the issue.
The accounts are all MobileMe (IMAP) accounts and accessed via iPad, iPhone and Mac, but no device is showing sent mail since Monday.
Any suggestions?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Mail not showing body content

Since upgrading to yosemite the Apple mail client is not showing the body content of some of my emails.
If I look at the message source nothing is displayed.
If I use Outlook there is no issue and the mail is properly displayed so the issue is not with the email of my mail server.
Are there any new security controls within the mail client and it has picked up the mail as suspicious?
Any ideas?
Regards,
Ed

Upgraded to Yosemite on both my computers. Have same problem on my iMac, but not on my MacAir.

Mail Not Showing Images

Since updating to 10.6.3, Mail will no longer display images. All of the settings are proper, but images display as a question mark.
I've recently had to do an erase and install for other reasons and Mail still will not display images.
Has anyone else come across this? If so, is there a fix?

im on 10.6.4, show HTML box is checked, little snitch has full access to images, so what the heck else could it be? there is a BUG in the preferences codes or something. others on another thread seem to be stuck too. Even if i right click and try to 'download image' that too does not work.
Can a tech for Mail look into the matter please, someone who has knowledge of the inner workings of Mail code..

Mail not showing accounts after ios 7 update on iPhone 5

After the ios 7 update to my iPhone 5 mail does not show my accounts. Specifically there is nothing below the word Accounts. The rest is working fine and still connected to my three accounts. However it no longer shows accounts.

thanks for the suggestions, i tried the ideas you suggested but i dont even get a camera showing for the rear camera, i also noticed the torchlight no longer works. i did all the steps but no luck.
So I took my camera to the genius bar this weekend as well as walking through various steps with the apple guys in ohio support over the net.
With the guys at the genius bar, after i insisted that it must be software as the rear camera stopped working only after the softwre update, they continued to assure me it was hardware and talked me into letting them replace the camera, they then took it to the back and tried fixing a camera and 30 minutes later came out and said the rear camera is no longer being detected and wanted me to replace the motherboard for yet more money. im glad they didnt charge me for the new camera though as it still didnt work.
anyway the motherboard idea i rejected as it was just 2 months out of warranty and had only stopped working the day after the release of 7.0.2, so im going to wait until the next few releases to see what happens, as i dont believe for a second its hardware. i expected a stock answer from apple and its exactly what i got even after my explanation of how it was working the day before the release. not overly impressed with the whole process.
i wanted to back down to 7.0.1 to confirm the camera still works but they said no chance so i cant even see if it still works ouside 7.0.2. anyway will update if i get any further progress.

How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me. I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air. Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software. All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails. For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files.
A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x. Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine. If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it. If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up. In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents. Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way. Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way. If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents. If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic. When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly. Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern. Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view. Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view. It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder. After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
What I have done so far: exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue. I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix. I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue. BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either). I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins. It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files. This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook. The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1) The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
When you read this please be mindful of: I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things. I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

Was the error number really 0XE8....
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting

E-MAILS NOT SHOWING UP

I had the same issue with the original iPhone (I now have the 3GS). I can be sitting at my computer and receive an e-mail on my PC, however, when I manually (I have Fetch turned-off) attempt to check for mail, it does not show up on my iPhone. Also, sometimes I may receive three or more e-mails (at one time) on my PC, and maybe one or two (but not all) show up on my iPhone. Is this normal? Lastly, I can send myself an e-mail from my PC or iPhone and receive it on my iPhone within seconds.

How do you get a Yahoo account to even push.
I do not think that you can get it to push.
You need another services like ActiveSync with and Exchange server or MobileMe for the push function to work.
So you need not even turn on push and just set the Fetch frequency to your desired interval or just manualy fetch them.
How do you connect to your Yahoo account?
i.e. POP3 or HTTP?
Either one will not push.
Here are the features with MobileMe. This will explain it all.
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/
If you want MobileME you need to purchase this for $99 annually.
Since Yahoo is a free account is your e-mail that important that you need it pushed to you? Most likely not if you are just using a free Yahoo account. So I think that set frequency to a desired interval or just open your e-mail and force a fetch is the right option.

SMTP sent mail not showing up in sent mail folder

Hello,
Setup:
Exchange 2010 SP1
Outlook 2010
C# for sending mail, or Pentaho Kettle
Not really sure how to explain, but I have the following scenario:
Automatic programs send email using credentials (an active username / password on the domain. account linked to a mail box).
Mail gets sent.
Mail does not show up in the sent mail folder of the account
I was wondering if there was a parameter on the Exchange server to configure so that the email sent via SMTP would show up in the sent mail box of the account.
Regards,

Hi Olivier,

E-mail addresses in Apple Mail not showing up in Apple Contacts (iCloud All Contacts)

I've been going though my contacts in the Apple Contacts app, which I have set up to use iCloud, deleting old contacts and cleaning up messy ones. And I've noticed there are a lot of e-mail addresses that I have in Apple Mail - I just start to type a few letters in the To: field and they come up - that are nowhere to be seen in the Contacts app.
Shouldn't these be in my Contacts app? Where else would these contacts be stored? And is there a way to sync them into my iCloud All Contacts or do I have to manually track each one down and add it in the Contacts app?
Quick edit to add: I've also now noticed that the same applies on my iPhone. E-mail addresses appear in iOS Mail that are not in my iOS Contacts app (I've performed a search to be doubly sure). Where do these contacts live and why are they not in my Contacts apps?

I do have both of those, but only iCloud shows up in my Contacts sidebar, and addresses are being sent there so I guess it's the default. Funny how this stuff is all so murky.
Not murky at all:
And as the On My Mac account does not show then it is empty. (It's visible if it is the default or if it has any content)
I haven't come across your last point, (no email address) so no help there I'm afraid.
