Mail notes not showing up in in box

when I make a note I am suppose to be able to see the note in my inbox anywhere I can see my mail. When I make a note in leopard and then look in my inbox through yahoo or on my iphone it is not there unless I forward it to myself and then it is there. I have at&t Yahoo mail and everything works fine in leopard and on the iphone except this note thing. Is it because of the IMAP thing?

In Mail>preferences>accounts>mailbox behavior, you should check the option "Store notes in inbox" if that is not already done. Also, if you have more than one email account in Mail, you should go to Mail>preferences>composing and select the account you would like as a default for creating Notes and To do's in - thereby making sure you do not create in other mailboxes by mistake.
If you have an IMAP account, and if you have not checked "Store notes in inbox", then your notes will show up in a separate mail folder named "Notes", in your folder tree structure, on your iphone. If by chance you use to dos too, your to dos will appear under the folder named "Apple Mail To Do". The same applies to viewing your IMAP account over the web.
Hope this helps

Mail not showing up in IMAP box

Hello there.
I've been through other similar threads in the Apple Mail discussions, but haven't found my specific situation.
I am using Mail to access an IMAP server, and I store no e-mail on the local machine. A few of the IMAP mailboxes show up empty, even though another IMAP client (Thunderbird) can see messages in these mailboxes just fine.
One of the mailboxes has 40 messages, and is less than 300 KB, so I'm fairly certain I'm not running into size limitations.
I have tried rebuilding the mailboxes, to no avail. I have tried deleting the IMAP account from Mail and recreating it, and the same mailboxes are still displayed as empty. I have discovered that if I move other messages into those mailboxes using Mail, the move works ok in that I can see the moved message via Thunderbird, but Mail still can't see any of the messages. I can rename the mailbox using Thunderbird and see the change reflected in Mail, but I still can't see the messages.
The advice I've seen in other threads seems to apply to Mail 1.x, mail stored locally, and large mailboxes. Any advice for this situation?
1.67 GHz PB Mac OS X (10.4.3) 100GB HD / 1GB RAM

I have a bit more info on the behavior. It's somewhat convoluted, but reproduceable.
I have a mailbox with 210 messages that shows 0 messages when viewed via Mail (as previously posted, I can work with it through Thunderbird just fine, though). It turns out that Mail is choking on just two of those messages. I narrowed down which ones they were by transferring the messages in small bunches to a new mailbox using Thunderbird, then launching Mail to see if it synchs properly. It does, on all but two of the messages.
The funny things is that using Mail, I can now see 208 messages in one mailbox and 2 messages in the other, and everything works just fine. If I move either of those two messages to the mailbox containing the 208 messages, the 209 messages disappear. I can then use Thunderbird to transfer that one message back to the smaller mailbox. If I then launch Mail, quit, and launch Mail again, the two mailboxes with 208 messages and 2 messages once again appear where they should.
There is nothing special about these two messages. They are plain text with no attachments, and contain just a few dozen words each.
The problem now, however, is that the messages in the 208-message mailbox are organized by date received, and if I click on a different header (e.g., Subject), the messages are not relisted by the active header, but rather the order of the messages are simply reversed by date received.
Could there be something about the sender name or subject heading that's causing this?
Also, I have posted to this thread several times now with absolutely no response. If someone from Apple could post just so I know these posts aren't going into a support black hole, please do. I am willing to work with Apple to debug their software (even though I'm not getting paid), but I want to make sure my time spent testing and prodding has a purpose.

Apple mail not showing PDFs - just a blue box with question mark

Hi all,
For some weird reason my Mail is now showing PDFs as blue box with a "?" in it... not the PDF icon..
Only happened since the Mavericks upgrade.
Anyone come across this or got an answer?
Thanks
Rob

No unfortunately not yet. No answers on this one

I cannot unlock my phone. When I hit the number the key is highlighted but the "dot" does not show in the passcode box. Have shut it off and restarted nothing. Held on/off and "square" key to reset but still nothing. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue

Connect to iTunes and try to reset it from there.

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

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!

I just updated to 10.8.4 and my mail program is showing a series of boxes with AAAAs inside them instead of the email addresses. Also when on Safari web pages are displaying the same AAAAAs instead of type. Firefox displays fine. Can someone help me?

Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Mail not showing in mail box

For three days, I was not receiving any email. I talked to my email provider and they found that my email was being forwarded to another unknown account. I called that email provider and learned that the email address supposedly receiving my emails has not been in service since 2004. My email provider has stopped forwarding my email to the bogus account. I have created my own gmail account and now have my email fowarded to the new gmail and have deleted my old account from my mac. HOWEVER, I now see email activity in the lower left corner of the mail window saying messages are being sent and received--in large numbers, but they are not showing up anywhere on my mac. When I compare what I am receiving in my mac mail account to what is on the gmail server, they all match up. Why I am getting this activity? Where would it be coming from?

Perhaps you can tell me how to restore my old emails from my old email account.
If you moved your backup folder for that account (not the entire Mail folder) into the Home/Library/Mail folder, the next thing you need to do is launch Mail and setup that Gmail account again. But before you can do that, you need to login to the Gmail web interface and change your password to something secure (something that cannot be guessed, preferably at least 27 characters long and using a string of random characters). I use 1Password to generate these, but you could also use LastPass, which is free.
If you don't use one of those password managers, copy the new password, paste it into a Sticky Note or TextEdit and save it.
After you've done that, then setup the Gmail account in Mail again, and after you've done that, Mail will import the existing messages again, and sync them with Gmail.
Where do you think the password was stolen from? The email server or my computer?
It wasn't stolen at all; it was just too easy to guess using standard hacking tools. That's why you have to use secure passwords that can't be guessed.

ICloud mail not showing up as "box" on iPhone mail list

I have a me.com address. I have added it as an account on my iPhone. I can log in successfully on my desktop to iCloud to retrieve my mail. I CANNOT however, see a mailbox labeled iCloud in my iOS mail on my iPhone. Can anyone help me figure this out? I've restarted the phone over and over. I shut off Mail and turned it back on several times as well. Please help.
Thanks!

Hi Winston,
Let me clarify...sorry about that. When I go to Settings --> iCloud --> Under my Account name [email protected] there is a list of "Mail, contacts, Calendars, etc" with on/off toggles, I switched Mail to off and then back on again, in hopes that this would reset itself or something. When I return to my Mail application, iCloud doesn't show as one of my Accounts, only my personal Yahoo and my work Exchange account. I cannot figure out why my iCloud mail does not show up there, even though I am logged in under iCloud and i can access it on my desktop.
I appreciate the help.

Mail not showing embedded images

This problem has been bugging me for a while.
I am getting some emails (from my company communications) that are incorrectly formatted by Mail. I see big boxes labeled "Missing Plug-in". The rest of the text is there, but those big boxes make the mail hard to read.
So today I decided to look a bit deeper into the problem. I brought it down to the presence of image tags that call for embedded images (included as attachments) using the "cid:" protocol. For example:
<img src="cid:[email protected]" alt="Find" border="0">
Is this a restriction in mail (I am running mail 6.1 on Mountain Lion). Or is there some config parameter I need to tweek to enable support for embedded images ?
Thunderbird has no problem. I also did a quick check with Google Mail and Yahoo Mail, and neither show the images. But they just show nothing, so the resulting email is still readable. Mac OSX Mail shows big boxes with the "Missing Plug-in" note. I would be happy if Mail just ignored the images.
I should point out that mail on iPhone and iPad work fine (they display the images).

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,

Mail not showing emails with attachments

Mail doesn't show/download emails with pdf attachments, although I can see the emails and attachments on my iphone no problem. The whole email is missing, not just the attachment.
Please help as this means I sometimes miss important emails, and well as the inconvenience of only being able to access the email and attachment from my phone

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Received mail not showing up in folder

A while back I reformatted my drive. I backed up all my data to an external drive. Then copied it back afterward. Everything went fine except my old received mail doesn't show in my Received folder. I can find the old mail and open it up and read it, how do I get it to populate in my Mail application?
Thanks

try rebuilding the mailbox file, if you haven't already done so.
in the mailbox pane, selecte the mailbox you want to rebuild in the list of email boxes (e.g inbox, etc.).
then select the last menu item "rebuild" in the mailbox menu with the mailbox still selected.
i believe that you can use rebuild only when a single mailbox is selected, and not multiple mailboxes...
each mailbox has a "info.plist" file, which i believe is an index of the messages with the metadata from the messages... if you look in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes, you can see these files and the individual messages... i believe that "rebuild" will make the mail program scan the message files and rebuild the plist file...
at least technique this has worked for me...
good luck-

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 pictures

Mail recently stopped showing the pictures in older emails, just a blue box with a question mark. I can't seem to find any pattern, some are there, some are not. The same account some are some aren't the same sender to the same address, some are, some aren't... Why has this just started and how do I fix it?
JK

hi,
Are some of these email in HTML format ?
These can tend to have the pics sent from a server and at some point they may no longer be kept on that server.

Mail not showing mail

Hi,
My Mail has been working great.. until i bought an iPhone4.
I don´t know if this is the reason, but when i synced my iPhone from iTunes my mail account only shows
NOTES.
I deleted the mail account (my schools mail, imap) and reconnected the mail accounted. Mail started showing my mail again, after a few days the same thing. only notes.
interesting is that notes do sync AND the account is showing that new mail has arrived (the blue ball) but no matter where or what I click can I get the account to show my mail.
Thank you all for any tips or similar problems you can provide discuss. Thank you
/Daniel Hilli

summer14, In case you haven't resolved this yet.
polzbert's solustion is excellent, assuming you have a backup drive using Time Machine. However, did you try rebuilding the inbox? If not, here's how:
Select the mail box that's giving you trouble in the left pane of Apple Mail. Then choose "rebuild" iunder the Mailbox Menu Item. This has resolved countless mailbox glitches for me in the past.
