Mail preferences in encrypted DMG accessed even not mounted

I keep the contents of ~/Library/Mail on an encrypted DMG which i mount here when i need.
Sometimes, when i close mail and unmount volume mail mustn't get new messages, but it does !
Even if I reboot after unmounting.
I cheched ~/Library/Mail after unmounting ad it's empty. But if i launch mail it downloads new messages and recreate files.
Why is it happening? Is it a cache problem? how can i solve it?

Is there any chance anyone can help, this issue is becoming rather annoying especially as this iMac is less than a month old!
Thanks in advance!

Downloaded new Parrallels, dmg file will not mount?

I am trying to upgrade my parrallels, since they came out with a newer version. I have the dmg file but it will not mount, it says "not recognized"
Do I have to remove the older version first?
anyone know what is wrong?
Also, what kind of a fire wire do you need to connect two Macs together so that you can migrate the software over?
Do you need a fire wire with the same ends?

The original DMG posted on the Parallels site would not mount. If you download it now it will work ok.
As far as firewire you use a firewire 400 or 800 depending on your old machine. It is probably best that you use one with the same ends. Less of a chance of data failure.

.dmg files will not mount

i just bought a new intel imac. i've been having trouble with dmg files: when i open them wa warging comes up that says that the disk image failed to mount and the reason it gives is either codec overrun or not recognized. Every once in a while a file will work properly, but the vast majority of the time there is an error. The files that im trying to install are mostly updates; quicktime and an os x update. i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it.
thanks

Hi
I'm not sure what the answer to your problem is, but having also just purchased a new intel imac, I use software update. I know there is also the comboupdate (not that I really understand what that's all about!) but have to admit to having no problems using the Software Update option with my imac. No dmg's need mounting and (touch wood) everything has installed like a dream - so far!
BTW what's "wa warging" (shown in your message)?

Can't browse large encrypted DMG after Security Update on 10.7.5

Performed security update today to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). I have a 4.1 TB encrypted DMG that I can mount. Disk Utility says is in good condition, but when attempting to browse in a finder window or via any app except Terminal, the Finder or App will crash. Finder gets into a state of perpetual reloading and physical drive must be powered off, or machine restarted. Terminal app lets me browse through and access files on the mounted drive just fine, though iTunes was unable to read its library files upon startup.
Has anyone experienced this, and/or have a solution?

Not exactly true. Other encrypted DMG files work fine. I've tested up to 1.2 TB. I believe that as the Terminal can browse the file system and unix commands interact fine with the files this is not an issue with operating system, but rather a bug in the higher level software.

External Hard drive and dmg files not mounting

External Hard drive and dmg files suddenly not mounting. Im running Mavericks on 27" iMac. Anyone have a fix or has anyone else suddenly had this problem? There was a Mavericks update a few weeks ago, but things were fine until today. This is weird. Ive checked in disk utility and can see one of my two external HD's, the one that I back up. But not even this will mount. Ive tried repairing HD thinking it was damaged but now see that all my ext hd's suddenly dont mount. Ive tried several mac restarts.

Solved the problem. My external HD is a WD (My Book Studio). I needed to install updated driver manager and this fixed it:

If you have a WD external HD goto the above link and search for your model and a list of updates will be shown, Yay!!

Mail preferences not sticking and sometimes change on their own.

Maybe somebody else has seen this odd behavior. Here's the scoop:
I clean installed 10.5.1 yesterday on my Mac Mini(1.42GHz G4, 1GB RAM)and after setting up my admin account, I immediately grabbed the 10.5.2 through Software Update. This is my first taste of Leopard and so far so good.
Now that everything is updated, I started to configure Mail. I set up two IMAP accounts in Mail and specified certain preferences under Mailbox Behaviors. I unchecked all the boxes that had to do with storing things on the servers. Since my IMAP account quotas are fairly small, ~150MB, I don't want Mail storing anything on my company's servers. Saved the changes and started logging in to my accounts. Tested it out by sending a few messages and noticed my sent messages and deleted messages were being saved on the server. Back in to Mail preferences I go and I noticed that some of the check boxes under Mailbox Behaviors had checkmarks back in them. What gives? I didn't leave those boxes checked. Why had several of the checkmarks reappeared?
Anyways, I've toyed with this thing for hours. It's seems to be a random problem and I don't have any clue why it happens. I've even deleted my own com.apple.mail.plst file and Mail folder multiple times to start over from scratch. I always uncheck the "store xxx on the server" boxes, but occasionally Mail turns them back on. It's happened multiple times now, so I'm getting a little paranoid about it. The last time it happened, I found the "Store draft messages on the server" re-checked under one of the IMAP accounts.
Seems like Mail.app has a mind of its own. Any idea how to put a stop to it?

I've done some more testing and found out several things.
1. It doesn't matter which of my IMAP accounts I configure Mail to access. I can reset Mail (by deleting my ~/Library/Mail folder and com.apple.mail.plist file) and then reconfigure my preferences for each IMAP sever. The problem still persists.
2. It definitely is a 10.5.2 problem. I erased the HD and reinstalled 10.5.1 from DVD onto my PowerBook G4 and then ran Mail. Configured it to access my IMAP accounts and had not problems with it. It didn't reset my "Mailbox Behaviors" preferences at all. In fact, it worked the way it's supposed to. On to step 3.
3. I then installed the 10.5.2 combo updater(dl'ed from Apple's support website) and ran Mail. With the previous accounts still configured, it didn't mess with my "Mailbox Behaviors" at all, but when I reset Mail (by dumping my Mail folder and prefs into the trash) and reconfigured it for my IMAP accounts, the problem came back.
4. With a fresh reset of my Mail preferences in 10.5.2, the very first email I send cannot be found in any folder until I quit out of Mail and then come back in. Checking my "Mailbox Behavior" prefs, I see that Mail has decided to put the check mark back in the "Store Sent Messages on the Server". That's not the way I set it up in the begining. This weird behviors repeats itself on the first draft message I save and the first email message I delete out of my Inbox. Mail always causes the first draft and deleted message to disappear until I quit and come back in. The "Mailbox Bevaior" prefs also get reset for storing drafts and deleted messages on the server.
So there we have it. Many hours spent on this thing. If others want to try it out in 10.5.2, just move your Mail folder and plst file out of your home folder temporarily and re-run Mail. Put your settings in, uncheck a few boxes under "Mailbox Behaviors" and see if Mail starts messing up.
I guess I'll be waiting for this problem to be resolved in 10.5.3. Until then, its back to 10.5.1 for me.

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Can no longer access blueyonder emails on iphone.I get the following error message: The mail server 'imap4.blueyonder.co.uk is not responding', how do I fix pls?

Hi there
As I've mentioned above, I can't seem to access my emails from my blueyonder account on my iphone. When I first set up my account on the phone, I had no problems at all receiving emails. Then recently, just out of the blue I get the following error message: 'Cannot Get Mail, The Mail Server 'imap4.blueyonder.co.uk' is not responding. Verfiy that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings. I definitely have the right settings, I even checked with Virgin but they are not able to assist with my problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so,how did you fix it? If you could explain in simple terms as I'm not tech savvy!
Many thanks!

ICloud not listed in Edit smpt in Mail preferences

Hi all-I have been having issues with Mail lately. I am running Mavericks (latest version) and Mail is 7.3.
First it keeps asking me for my password. I have lost count the number of times I have reentered it! But it keeps on asking. I enter the password in the popup window that says the iCloud password is incorrect. Sometimes it accepts it and the mail downloads but other times it doesn't.
The other issue is that in Mail Preferences if I go to Edit smpt settings iCloud is not listed. Comcast is but not iCloud. It's listed on the first screen of Mail Preferences.
The other question I have is the Incoming Mail Server-it says (in faint letters, not highlighted) p01-imap.mail.me.com. Is this what it should say? Out going is iCloud (iCloud). No TLS Certificate. Under the Advanced tab it says authentication if Password. Again, iCloud is not listed on this screen.
I wasn't aware that I changed anything. I did do the 2 step verification for iCloud today but the password issue has been going on for over a week. Looking forward to getting this mess straightened out! Judy

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

MAIL: Can sign, encrypt but not decrpyt

After Mail was driving me crazy with weird error mesages, I deleted all my certificates and got the replaced by Versisign.
I imported then and since then I can sign and encrypt mails from both of my accounts like charm.
problem is: I can't decrypt a message.
I doublechecked the used certificate with the sender and serialnumber and fingerprint are ok. He deleted all my certificates form his keyring and I send him a signed message again which cause the (correct) certificate to be imported in Keyring. But when he sends me a encrypted message I can't decrypt it.
Mail is just saying "Can't do" in that yellow bar and informs me that I might haven't got the right certificate in my keyring.
This is driving me crazy ...
Anyone with some ideas?

OK, Keychain Access has three Keychains, two of which appear identical right down to Date Modified for each password) and a third called X509 Anchors.
Within each of the two apparently identical Keychains is a single POP3 password for my ISP with my email account number in the info box at the top (when I view the other two users's accounts in Mail preferences, their account numbers are the same as this but suffixed by _2 and _3. But, as I say, the only POP password appearing in Keychain Access is mine. Do you mean I should delete it?

Mail preferences not setting right

My password keeps getting rejected by the SMTP server, despite the fact that it is typed in correctly. I think my problem is in account preferences, because where it says "Email Adress" it has my email adress with an extra "@mac.com" after it. I keep trying to change it, and then when I close the preferences window it asks me if I want to save and I click "Save," but then the "Enter Password" box pops up again and - sure enough - my changes in preferences didn't save! How do I fix this?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

think my problem is in account preferences, because where it says
"Email Adress" it has my email adress with an extra "@mac.com" after it.
Are you able to receive messages?
Although this isn't normal, it shouldn't effect the SMTP server settings which are separate.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
The SMTP server settings should be as follows:
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mac.com
Server Port: 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Can be selected or not selected.
Authentication: Password
User Name: The portion of your .Mac email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your internet service provider (ISP) with the Mail.app?
If so, are you able to send messages with this account and SMTP server?
If yes to both, you can also select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

Mail Preferences not remembered...

My mail preferences are not being remembered when mail is reopened, even the email default to send from is not remembered, all folders with in Mail when opened are collapsed & no signatures are in place.
Brand new iMac, mail was imported from Macbook Pro with no issues 2 weeks ago. Mail was freezing on start up so I followed a thread on here:
Library/containers/com.apple.mail & delete the named folder, which did resolve the freezing on start up, now no preferences are remembered by mail.
Any help would be fantastic...
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to NOT sync Mail preferences via iCloud?

I use Mail on both my office Mac and home Mac and would like to have slightly different email Rules setup on each. It seems, however, that in Mountain Lion, Mail automatically syncs its preferences via iCloud. I have looked through both the application and System Peferences settings and can see no location that allows me to change this behavior. FWIW, in System Preferences, I have iCloud set to NOT sink Mail, but it is set-up to sync Documents and Data.
Any ideas?

I turned off the iCloud syncing of Mail between machines. Both machines communicate with the same IMAP server independently, so my email remains in sync that way.
My problem is that even though iCloud is not syncing my mail, it seems to be syncing my Mail.app preferences, which means all my filtering rules end up being duplicated across the two machines. Where this is a problem for me is that I have a filter setup to send me notifications (via boxcar.io) when messages from particular people or groups arrive in my inbox. When the preferences get synced both machines process the message and push a notification, so I get double notified of everything.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.
Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Style Sheet:
Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:
Preview. Try Preview > Preferences > PDF > Smooth text and line art (uncheck)
