Mail PDF doesn't work

Hi,
To convert a file to PDF and send it by email, I use to simply use the Mail PDF option in the print menu.
Since I upgraded to Mac Os X Lion, the option works for a while and then stops working. Then, once I click on "Mail PDF", it doesn't even switch to Apple Mail.
Restarted mail, restarted the application... No good.
Restarted the computer, worked for a while and then stopped again. I did this a lot of times and it always ends up not working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can work around this, but it is frustrating on the long term.
Thank you,
Alex

I am seeing exactly the same problem you describe, but only on my MacBook Pro.
In my case, I am using the Numbers application on Mac OS X 1.7.2 (Lion) on a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. The Mail PDF option works for a while and then stops working. When it stops working in Numbers, it also stops in all other applications. The console log does not shot any hints as to what might be wrong.
Using the Numbers application on a MacBook Air (1.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR), with the same Max OS X version (1.7.2 Lion) has no issues at all. Mail PDF works fine on this machine from all applications.
Has anyone heard more about this issue since the last post on Aug 26?
Thanks,
JK

    My Mail server doesn't work after upgrading from SL to ML
    Mail client connects with the Mail Server wich seems to run but then they can't receive any email...
    the problem seems to be related with dovecot ... in my smtp log i get this:
    relay=dovecot, delay=324, delays=324/0.02/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: pipe: fatal: pipe_command: execvp /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver: Permission denied
    I have to say that in the usr/libexec there wasn't the dovecot directory so I just tried to create one but with no luck
    Any Ideas?

  • Mail app doesn't work

    Mail app doesn't work after Yosemite OSX upgrade. At first it didn't check email and now it doesn't boot. I tried many times, but nothing happens

    Ok after nearly going crazy I read something about someone having a problem with a program related to fonts not being installed. I started up font book and now my problem is miraculously resolved... This is good and bad. I don't know why having font book running would resolve my problem or know what font is causing the programs not to work. As far as I know I didn't disable any system fonts. And the problem doesn't happen when font book is running, which is confusing me.

  • My "sent mail " tone doesn't work. All other tones do work.   I've changed tones and rebooted. Still silent

    Hi Gwing17,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that all of your iPhone sounds are working as expected except for the Sent Mail sound. I understand that you have already changed the Sent Mail sound as well as reset your iPhone and the issue persists. In this situation, to isolate the issue, I would first recommend backing up your iPhone to either iTunes or iCloud.
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    After you have backed up, I would recommend restoring your iPhone and setting it up as new to test the Sent Mail sound. If the sound works as expected, try restoring from your backup and test the sound again. Please let me know if the issue returns or if the sound still does not work when you set up your iPhone as a new device.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Joe

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Junk mail filter doesn't work all the time

    Why doesn't the Junk mail filter work all the time? I click on mail like from Best Buy or Omni Hotels to go into junk mail but hardly any of their mail goes into Junk. Other sites go directly to Junk. If I click on a Best Buy mail to indicate it's Junk, shouldn't that work 100% of the time forever and ever?

    The Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message. It ignores the sender. (Filtering based on the sender is an ineffective way of dealing with true spam, since spammers use constantly-changing spoofed addresses.)
    If you don't want mail from a legitimate sender like Best Buy, unsubscribe from their ads. If that doesn't work, make a Rule to delete or move the messages.

  • Mail:  ANY doesn't work in smart mailboxes or rules?

    I want to create a smart mailbox that will copy and archive  all messages to/from a particular recipient and e-mails to/from others about the subject of most of the conversation with that recipient.  I want the archiving to happen as they arrive in my inboxes and not automatically remove them from the servers--some I still need on the servers to access from multiple locations/machines.
    But I can't even get to the archiving issue:  the smart mailbox that says 'contains ANY message' meeting these rules:
    contains recipient1
    contains subject2
    always has fewer messages than one that simply 'contains recipient1' so the ANY condition, that in boolean terms should be an OR combination, appears to functionally act as an AND.
    When I tried to create a smart mailbox folder to contain two mailboxes, one for contains name1 and one for contains subject2, each of which separately works fine, clicking the smart mailbox folder containing both leaves the window empty, so I can't see the messages name1 and subject2 interlaced in the date sent order or any other.  I just get one group or the other by clicking the submailboxes.
    And trying to bypass the problem using rules doesn't work either--the 'any' command is as dysfunctional there as it is in the smart mailbox dialog.  I can manually search for the relevant terms (recipient1 and  subject2) and option+drag them to a mailbox for archiving, but this results in many duplications, especially if repeated over time, not a happy result.
    Some searching here and googling suggests that the ANY command is problematic in this OS for a lot of people, but is there a known fix?  Or a better way to create a 'smart' archive to do what I want?

    Okay, I think I understand better now.  So I just ran a test, by creating the following rule:
    I specifically chose an address (obviously not the one shown) that I had a message from in my Inbox, and a word that was present in the subject line of several messages in my Inbox.  When I ran this rule on my Inbox, it copied exactly the messages I would have expected into the test mailbox.  Are you seeing different behavior with the same rule, or is your rule constructed differently?
    If the difficulty is with running the rule, note that (as I said earlier) rules only run automatically on unread incoming messages.  It won't run automatically on existing messages or on messages on an IMAP mail server that you have read on another device using (in which case they will have been marked as read).  If you need to run this in such conditions, you'll have to either run the rule manually or run it via an AppleScript or something similar that is somehow (via something other than Mail) made to execute at certain times/intervals or under certain conditions.
    And you're correct, a smart mailbox would be totally inappropriate for what you're trying to do!  It would behave exactly as you guessed.

  • Migrated Mail Account doesn't work

    Last week I used Migration Assistant to move everything from a 10.5 MBPro to a shiny new 10.6 MBPro. Just about everything is working except one of my email accounts. In its previous incarnation it successfully connected to an Exchange server using POP over SSL. Now it doesn't work. Nothing has changed at the server end - I can still use the same settings to access it from a Windows machine.
    Mail doesn't report any errors, so I watched the conversation with Wireshark. The Mac side closes the connection after sending a TLSv1 encryption alert, code 21, which is an encryption error. When I look at the X.509 cert sent by the server, it has, according to Wireshark, the "not before" field set to Aug 6th 2011, and the "not after" field set to Aug 8th 2010. Would this be enough to produce encryption errors? Is the encryption mechanism more sensitive on Snow Leopard than on Leopard?
    AK

    Update - I was misinterpreting the certificate dates. The "not before" is in fact 11/08/2006, and the "not after" is 10/08/2008, so it is not a date conflict issue, just a completely out-of-date issue (that's August, not October, for those that read their dates differently).
    I ran Thunderbird, and it pops a dialog box to ask if it is OK to use the expired cert, and will then successfully retrieve Mail from the server.
    Why won't Mail do it?

  • Mail Rule Doesn't Work

    I participate at some message boards. I recently upgraded my yahoo email account so I could POP my mail using Mac Mail. Fine. So I tried to set up a rule to route emails from those boards into a mailbox in Mail I created called "Message Boards". Only it doesn't work. The messages go into the Inbox and not the boards mailbox. What did I do wrong? I set it so that anything from those incoming emails would be moved to that mailbox, but it's just not doing it.

    Try splitting it into two separate rules, one for each condition. Add an action after your colour action "stop applying rules"

  • Mail suddenly doesn't work

    I have a hotmail.com email adress. It always worked great with Mail. But suddenly I can't receive any mail.
    I've already deleted my account and made a new one. Also I've made a gmail account. But it still doesn't work.
    With gmail I've got one mail send and one received. But the next time I opened Mail they were both gone, and Mail didn't worked also.
    I hope someone could help me.
    If you're able to speak dutch it should be great! As you see, I'm not good in English.

    All of a sudden the other day I could no longer import emails from the Comcast server to my mail program on my computer (10.5.4, macbook pro) but those emails DO exist on the Comcast server.
    I still receive emails from my business address through my web site, but NOTHING comes in from Comcast.
    I called Comcast and they tried to help me reset my Mail Preferences - but that didn't help. The person at Comcast told me there are problems since an Apple update of the software, and they have no solution for it.
    Is this true? When will it be fixed? How can I make it work???
