Mail on MacBook

On MacBook Pro when Mail opens it shows the triangle with exclamation point and can't get or send mail. I am using 10.10.1.
Is it possible to delete Mail and upload it again?

Hello JSKmac,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like the Mail application on your Mac is not sending or receiving email. Reinstalling the Mail application would require reinstalling OS X, although you can remove and re-add the mail accounts to the application.
To troubleshoot this situation, I'd recommend the steps in this article first:
If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac - Apple Support
These steps can help troubleshoot the application and prevent the need to delete anything or reinstall OS X.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Thanks Jim...........

Thank you SO much. Everything I had tried just expanded the size of each columns. Finding that slender area to the right of the message columns was tricky, but it worked. Wish that was more intuitive.
Thanks again.

How do you move emails in Mail (5.3) to a flash drive so that it appears as it does in Mail my MacBook OS 7.5?

How do you move emails in Mail (5.3) to a flash drive so that it appears as it does in Mail my MacBook OS 7.5?

Can you explain in more detail what it is you want to do? I'm not clear how moving messages to a flash drive would make them appear as they do under Lion.

Mail on MacBook Pro (Intel), loses track of which IMAP messages are read

I have this problem using two different IMAP servers (dovecot-imapd and SunONE.) Basically Mail keeps "losing track" of which messages have been read already. Messages I read and/or reply keep getting marked as unread. If I wait around long enough (or quit and restart Mail) ALL of my messages received since migrating to the MacBook Pro will appear unread. This did not happen with my PowerBook G4 – I'm thinking something is wrong with the Intel build of Mail.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2GB RAM

Do you have "automatically synchronize changed
mailboxes" selected under the Advanced tab for the
IMAP account preferences?
Oddly enough, one of them had it checked, and the other did not. Both evidenced the same behavior though.
In addition, have you used the rebuild mailboxes
function on the account's Inbox mailbox?
I'll do that now, and see what happens.

Select Force Quit from under the Apple menu and select Mail (it may say that it isn't responding).

Apple Mail on Macbook via windows domain network and microsoft TMG

Hi folks.
We run a windows network with server 2008 tmg, dcs, and exchange 2007.
We have a few mac clients on our internal network. They log on locally but have all the correct network settings etc for proxy, network and internet access. Everything works fine through TMG including apple mail to our exchange server, and web browsing etc.
The one thing that isn't working is apple mail to other mail providers. Specifically Gmail.
I've created an access rule for testing purposes to allow all outbound traffic from a macbook pro. It still doesn't work, with the following being the only error:
Denied Connection RHSTMG 21/05/2010 10:27:07
Log type: Firewall service
Status: An ingoing packet was dropped because its destination address does not exist on the system, and no appropriate forwarding interface exists.
Rule: None - see Result Code
Source: Internal (10.1.0.81:5353)
Destination: External (224.0.0.251:5353)
Protocol: Unidentified IP Traffic (UDP:5353)
Additional information
•Number of bytes sent: 0 Number of bytes received: 0
•Processing time: 0ms Original Client IP: 10.1.0.81
Someone on another (microsoft) forum said this:
224.0.0.251:5353 is RendezVous protocol, which is used by Mac OS for locating services. it is multicast protocol and it's only purpose is locating things.most it has nothing to do with Google Mail.
The mac has entirely unrestricted access to everywhere (in theory).
Gmail account through windows 7 client using outlook is fine by the way.
Nothing else is denied or refused when looking at the live logging.
Any help with this would be great.
Thanks
Dave

I had this problem too, but I found a post burried on the web that said to add " p06- " (without quotes) before the imap and smpt server names and that worked:
p06-imap.mail.me.com
p06-smtp.mail.me.com
Everything stays checked, SSL for both, authentication and use same username and password checked.

Cannot Read Body of my Mail on MacBook Pro

I am using Mail with the latest Mavericks on my MacBook Pro....and it is all updated to the latest software updates. For the past 5 or 6 days, I cannot read the body of my mail. The headers etc. are visible but in the preview pane below, nothing shows. I think this started because I had left the computer for a few hours and it went to sleep. When I tried to get back on, nothing happened. I pressed the enter and other keys but it still kept 'sleeping'. I finally resorted to turning the power switch off and was presented with this problem. I have searched these forums and though there are a few instances of this, they either seemed to be with older OS systems or on the initial installation of Mavericks....I have had Mavericks since it first came out with no issues. Also, the majority of these type issues seemed to be with the iPhone or iPad...and I still have not been able to get to the bottom of this.
I have tried to Rebuild the mailbox several times but to no avail. Sometimes the Mail also quits unexpectedly and I am given an error statement. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have a 2008 MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core and 8 Gb RAM....and about 40 Gb of free space.

Humm,
In the Mail > Preferences I have it set to display in Classic view.
Side bar or Accounts in-boxes and other folders
Then a top window of Messages left or new in the In-boxes and the messages being "read" below that.
There are occasions when deleting a messages in the top window does not automatically select another.
This can mean nothing displays in the bottom box (I just can't re-create it right now ).
If I change to the regular/default view I see the Side Bar still, then the Summary column followed by the Messages column.
The Summary I have chosen has three Messages related to it.
In the Messages column I have scrolled the first to reveal the contents but also show the Header of the next. (I chose to show Full Headers so there is a lot of info here or not only the Sender but the Server(s) it came through to get to me).
I take you do mean the actual Header to the actual message (the lower right item in the pic) rather than calling one of the columns "Headers" ?

How to set column headers in Mail on MacBook Pro?

In Mail on my MacBook Pro I have a number of columns set as a default view in Mail - To, Subject, Date etc
I want to add Mailbox (as I have more than one mail account) as a default header.
When I right click on the header bar and add it, it works but next time I log on it's gone again.
How do I add Mailbox as a column permanently?

Can anybody help me with this?
I anticipated it would be quite a straight forward issue.
I presume I've posted it on the right forum but please advise if not.

Outgoing mail server will work on Iphone but not Mail on Macbook

My POP account will send mail on my iphone no problem, but on the mail program on my macbook it times out. All the account information is identical. The mail program keeps telling the server does not support port 995, but on the Iphone it does. I have tried changing the port but it still won't work. Suggestions please!

misilulu, outgoing mail uses the SMTP protocol on ports, 25, 587 (for submission only) and, in the case of SMTPS, port 465 (rarely used and deprecated).
The POP is used for incoming mail on ports 110 or, in the case of POP over SSL, 993.
If all the settings between your iPhone and your MacBook are the same and you are having problems sending outgoing email on your MacBook it is most likely because you are using the wrong port. If you are using port 25 then it is most likely that your ISP is blocking that port for all mail servers except their own. If that is the case try the mail submission port 587. If that doesn't work then try 465 as a last resort.

Exchange mail clogging MacBook Air

How can I limit the amount of email stored on my MacBook Air as it is eating up my storage. My email downloads from a Microsoft Exchange server.

You want to get Mail to download headers only and only download the body of the email once you have opened it.
Or.
As your email server is Exchange, you should be able to access it online. That way you use no local storage.

deano

Incoming mail server with an example : mail.example.com ( what do i put here?)
This is where you put in the server that your email comes from (your provider)
If you have, for example, gmail... you would put in mail.gmail.com
user name ( do i put my full email here?)
yes...just like you would login to your email on the client you used before
password (is this my email password?)
yes
any help would be great thanks
Hope it did
