Mail, repeat message occuring

Hi
I can't receive new emails on my imap account as I keep receiving this error message:
Some actions taken while the account "oak fine jewellery" was offline
could not be completed online.
Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the
actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox
"INBOXDrafts" in "On My Mac" so that you can complete the actions
while online.
Additional information: The IMAP command "APPEND" (to INBOXDrafts)
failed with server error: Invalid mailbox name..
Any ideas on how to stop this message from occuring without deleting the account and re-installing it.
Thanks!

Go into to your mail preference and click on Accounts,then click on Advance and check the Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: Click the drop down box and select immediately.

When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Hi all,
Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings. I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name. This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues. Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve: incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors. If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out". When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine. I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices... But use your own judgment. I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system. When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button. When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address. I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem). Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day. Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
Hope that helps some of you!

Hello lclaunch22
You may need to validate the account with Hotmail. When logged in to the Hotmail account on a computer, there are instructions on how to do this.

Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

Hi,
Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
Many Thanks

This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.

Does this only occur with 10.6.8? I just gave this a try on my 10.8.3 system with AIR 3.6 but couldn't reproduce the crash on quit. However, I also was unable to log into the application due to lack of credentials. Could you please open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? If we need to log in to reproduce the bug, please send any test credentials to [email protected] Once the bug has been entered, please let me know the bug number so I can attach the symbolicated crash log to the bug report.
Thanks,

Ps. If you haven't already, can you also try out our 3.7 beta build?

Mail Repeatedly Crashes in 10.5.1 -- One Solution

OK, there's several different threads covering Mail repeatedly crashing in Leopard, some covering 10.5 and some 10.5.1. In addition, some of the solutions have apparently worked for some users, most notably removing GrowlMail for those who had it, but my Mail kept crashing even after trying a whole slew of possible solutions. I know some users had similar problems to mine, so here's my problem and solution:
Problem:
Upon startup, Mail begins to download new messages and seems to download two or so before it freezes then crashes completely (quits).
Tried lots of things, but none worked. Ultimately tried to copy my entire ~/Library/Mail folder to a backup drive before trying to copy older backup of Tiger Mail folders to Mac running 10.5.1 in last-ditch effort. Upon starting the copy process, however, the process immediately failed, noting that my Mac could not read or write the file "LSMMap2". Why? Must be corrupt. So I Googled LSMMap2 and found that it's a file for managing your junk mail filters in Mail.
Solution:
I deleted LSMMap2 (no need to back it up since I couldn't copy it anyway) and then used some excellent instructions from another poster, David Gimeno Gost -- thanks David! -- to find and remove all my junk mail-related files, basically any junk.mbox file in any Mail folder or mailbox account folder. I trashed them all. Here's a link to David's instructions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1165162&tstart=1
The result? Mail launched and downloaded 817 messages! And it hasn't crashed for 45 minutes!
Side Effects: All my junk mail filters are wiped out, but that's a small price to pay for getting Mail back. I can rebuild the filters more easily than using Webmail from multiple e-mail accounts -- or ditching Mail for something else entirely. Anyway, thought I'd share since losing Mail functionality totally bites.

Hold down the Shift Key while clicking on the Mail icon to launch Mail
Hmm, nothing happens here. Clicking in the dock or double click on the app itself?
Do i get feedback only when there is a problem and not it everything is okey? Is that similar to the "database rebuild" when holding down option while launching Entourage?
Thanks for further infos

Have IMAC, Mountain Lion mail. Each time I open mail, the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google" followed by a request for a password of an acct that was previously deleted. How do I get rid of the message? Thanks

I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

That repeating message bug

First of all, don't reply to this Steve!
Couldn't Steve, aka SDA, be prevailed on to use the web interface he doesn't like, just until the repeating message thing is sorted.
Surely there must be enough data now to find the cause of the problem!

Phillip Jones wrote on 2009-06-06 21:23:
Look I was just suggesting a possibility.
It is not a possibility. What you are suggesting is technically
impossible: the mail going from SDA to these forums is never in 'his
email directory'. Email doesn't work that way. If you want to know how
it does work, I suggest reading:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt
http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/docs/DOC-1985
And your other assertion that it only affects SDA is also untrue. Forum
hosts had identified half a dozen people who were affected when I
stopped keeping track a month ago.
And of course there is the fact that Jive has confirmed it is a bug in
Clearspace.

How to move Mail.app messages with AppleScript

I have the following AppleScrip to move all Mail messages from one folder to another folder:
on run {input, parameters}
          tell application "Mail"
                    repeat with theMessage in {messages in mailbox "Later" of account "[email protected]"}
                              set theMailbox to mailbox "INBOX" of account "[email protected]"
move theMessage to theMailbox
                    end repeat
          end tell
          return input
end run
When I run the script, it gives an error message:
Syntax Error. Mail got an error: Can't make {message id xxx} of mailbox "Later" of account "[email protected]" into type scpcifier.
What do I have to change to make this script work?

What you are trying to do, move mail messages older than some time to a different folder, isn't really something that should be down by a rule. Rules are meant to examine messages as they arreive and to prefrom some action based on the mesage.
You would do better to make this a straight AppleScript that you would then run as needed or triggered by something like iCal on a daily basis.

Apple Mail opens messages before log in

When I launch Apple Mail, several message windows open with message contents displayed; this is before I log in to the mail server. How can I make sure Mail waits for me to log in before it opens any message windows?
Thanks!

I think you mentioned some widget you downloaded that introduced a NEW button ?? That's what makes it normal for you, I fear.
Try this workaround:
select the first message in your Inbox list
Employ whatever means to mark it UNread with your preferred method,
THEN ⇧ Shift + Down arrow key to just above the Subject title you wish to read
THEN, Down arrow key or click the next in the list ("Locator for authorized repair/ ..." in my example)
VOILA!!
Repeat as necessary

Nevermind, I found it.
Mail Policies > Text Resources > Add Text Resource
Set the type as Encryption Notification Template (HTML), edit the HTML and then also add one with a type Encryption Notification Template (text), edit the text. Then go into the Security Services > IronPort E-Mail Encryption > modify the Encryption profile and choose the new Text Resources created above.
Under Text Resources I was also able to create custom bounce messages with variables that display all the relevant information regarding the bounce.

Mail and Messages freeze in landscape/portrait mode

When in Messages and Mail, my iPhone 5 freezes in landscape or portrait mode. I can continue to type, edit, etc. but can only get it to rotate after pressing 'Home' button or closing and re-opening app. I am running 8.0.2. I notice it most when taking a break for Mail or Messages and turning phone off and when I turn back on. I'm guessing it is a bug and not a hardware problem because I can always get it to clear by just pressing home or closing app.

Hello there, HoosierZach1979.
Great job in coming up with a good workaround for your issue with Mail and Messages. For issues regarding iOS not functioning as expected, the following Knowledge Base article provides a great and practical list of steps for troubleshooting:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
