Mail on OSX 10.8.2

I have OSX 10.8.2.
In "Mail" I set up folders under "On My Mac."
I'm going to be canceling my Comcast account where all the emails in my "On My Mac" folders came from.
Will I lose all those emails when I cancel Comcast or once I put an email into an "on My Mac" folder does it stay there until I delete it?
Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
They shouldn't be modified if you have stored your emails on a special "On my Mac" mailbox instead of the Inbox mailbox for the Comcast account. However, I highly recommend you to make a backup before doing anything

How to set up read receipts in mail on OSX Mavericks

How do you set up read receipts in mail on OSX Mavericks? I've looked under settings for the mail app but can't see anything that I can 'turn on' to get an indication when an email has been read. Thanks for any responses in advance.......

Hi, there.
Unfortunately, there's no such feature on Mail. No version of it has ever had.
Besides that, read receipts are not good at all. It is up to the recipient whether or not to send a receipt. So you will never know if the recipient never read the email or just didn't send a receipt.
Yours.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

HT5361 Can I set the mail in osx 10.9.1, not when i first set, but now does not.

Can I set the mail in osx 10.9.1, not when i first set, but now does not.

I am not sure I understand you question, but if you are attempting to set up an iCloud email account, you can start in System Preferences > iCloud > Account Details. Establishing the details of your iCloud (a.k.a. Apple) ID there automatically creates the account in Mail

When I receive mail my OSX opens up the attachments, they can be either PDF or Jpeg how do I tern this feature off and just have them show as icons

When I receive mail my OSX opens up the attachments, they can be either PDF or JPEG how do I turn this feature off and just have them show as icons
Thanks

There is a plugin available for Mail called Attachment Tamer, which allows much greater control over the way Mail handles attachments, among other things. Icon view is one of them.

I believe you can run it in demo mode before purchasing to see if it does what you want.

how do you log into hotmail at work? via webmail interface? hotmail provides POP email access only when using an email clienet and you probably have Mail set to remove messages from server after downloading them. go to Mail preferences->account->advanced and check those settings. you can change them to leave messages on server or to remove them from server only when they are moved from the inbox.

Unable to view Inbox sub-folders in Mail on OSX Mavericks

Hello,
I'm working with two Exchange accounts that have the same problem. Both accounts have sub-folders underneath the Inbox folder. After upgrading to OSX Mavericks, the sub-folders are no longer visible within Mail. If I go on the web and mark a mail in one of these sub-folders as unread, the unread count on the Inbox increases, however the mail along with the subfolder it is in, are still not visible. Additionally, if I right-click on the Inbox folder and choose "Get Account Info", and switch to "Messages on Server", I can see the sub-folders listed there, the number of messages in it, and the size of the folder. If I click on the folder within this window and choose "Show Messages" it opens a new, blank, Mail window.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to get these folders to show again? I tried rebuilding to Inbox to no avail. I am trying to find a solution that doesn't involve recreating the account in Mail, if possible, as some of the mailboxes I have to deal with are extremely large, and to re-download them all from the Exchange server would take a very long time.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.

Hi all
Same here!
The folders still show up on my iPad and iPhone AND i can still move emails into the folders. So in the context of "move email" all the folders show up. But as above, no email folders in the main menu of Mail. I am using an Exchange server too and already setup everything fresh from the start but it did not solve the problem. Looks like nobody tested upgrading an existing Exchange/Apple Mail setup to Mavericks...maybe because Exchange is to exotic. ;-)
Hope this gets fixed soon and I hope it raises some new ideas in terms of QA!

Mail seems to know it's there, as you described, but for some reason just doesn't display it. Honestly, it seems like someone just made an oversight and forgot to put the little arrow in to let us expand folders that have sub-folders.

What is the best way to migrate mail from OSX 10.4.11 (Tiger) to OSX 10.7 (Lion)

Greetings,
Does anyone have experience migrating mail boxes from OSX 10.4 to OSX 10.7?
I have an old 1.5 Ghz PowerPC G4 laptop with a lot of email (about 8 years worth). I just purchased a new Mac Mini with OSX 10.7 Lion and I'd like to migrate 2 groups of files, mail and photos. I figure the mail might be the most difficult, hence this request for information.
I have read where you can run a migration assistant for OS 10.5 and 10.6 to OSX 10.7 but there are only a few articles about the earlier OS.
Also, I would like to migrate ONLY the mail box into an existing user account. I would rather not migrate older files and applications that I have on the older PC.
Can anyone point me to articles about doing this?
Thank you,
Tim Kern

Hi Linc,
Thank you for yout suggestion.
Export the import makes sense. Do you know of any "How to..." articles for exporting from Tiger?
Thanks again,
Tim Kern

How can I set up mail in OSX.1?

I have an old iMac flatpanel that I have just repaired and have installed OSX.1.5 on it. How can I set mac mail up to work on it?

"OSX.1.5" is not a valid OS identification.
Is the Mail app installed?

Problem with Gmail "unread mail" in OSX mavericks

Since updating to OSX Mavericks (and I installed all available upgrades/patches as they came out) I have had a problem with getting my Gmail to sync across various devices. I have a macbook air as well as the iMac, ipad and iphone. The problem is that with the two computers, emails received to my gmail account will appear "unread" even if I have previously accessed them on a different computer or device. It is as if Apple Mail is no longer able to differentiate from the Gmail server which emails I have opened and which I have not yet read, and I come home to an inbox full of dozens of messages I have already read and deleted that are sitting in my inbox again so I have to double-delete them. I cannot figure out which setting I need to change in order to correct this - I have never had a problem with this before upgrading the operating system and do not have "leave an unread copy on the server" or some similar setting activated in gmail, to my knowledge. The recenly released mail fix did not help.
thanks in advance for your advice.

Unable to configure Google Mail in OSX Mail

Running Yosemite on my iMac.
I am unable for some reason to configure Gmail in OSX Mail. I did this easily on my Macbook Pro, but for some reason the same steps cause things to error out.
When I attempt to add the GMAIL email to my OSX Mail, it will look as if it's creating it, but then comes back with a message that says that Mail and Notes can not be configured. Yet when you look in the OSX Mail, the inbox is there and the label/mailboxes are there. But, there is no Archive (All Mail) as I have on my Macbook Pro also running Yosemite.
Any clues on what i can do?

The MacBook Pro problem was fixed by removing Google from the Internet Accounts and Mail. Then adding the Google account back and gong back to Mail to configure the account. Why it went south? Don't know.
This doesn't fix my iMac problem however, which is very unusual, seeing that I have the same version of Yosemite and Mail running on both computers. On the Mac, it just won't setup the Gmail account.

If you have BrowserPlus installed that could be the culprit.
