Mail "Rules" no longer work in Mavericks

I have a lot of rules for moving incoming mail to certain folders I've set up.
Once I upgraded to Mavericks, it seemed that Mail just exploded with problems. Certainly Rules stopped working.
So I removed all my Rules (I have quite a few) and reinstalled them, one at a time.
Now? Sometimes they work. Mostly they don't. Sometimes they work sometimes *for the same sender*.
Any ideas or is this a "known problem"?

Same issue here. For the first 3 days after I set up some rules they worked fine. Then today they don't.

Mail Rules don't work in Mavericks

It seems with the update to 10.9 Mavericks Mail rules no longer work. My email address was harvested by spamers and I have been using rules to weed throught the 100's of emails that I receive each day.
Russian Brides, Vigra, Learn a new language get moved into the trash when delievered. Now nothing happens.
I just tried to write a new rule and when I clicked the Prefs pannel I got the spinning cursor. After waiting for some time I did a force quit only to find that Mail was not responding.
Anyone have any ideas? I did not see any major changes with Mail and Mavericks so I'm not sure why it's been effected.

You might condider using an Applescript with Mail Rules.
Here's one that I use (Use whitelist to not move to spam):

Mail Rules no longer working

Recently (after the iCloud) my mail is full of garbage that had previously had rules applied. The rules are no longer working, even if applied manually. If anyone is having this problem or know of a solution please advise. Thank you in advance.

I just had the same problem after installing MtLion a few days ago. Went to Mail > Perferences > Accounts > Rules and rechecked the box for the Rules I had setup before the Upgrade/Update.

Mail rules no longer work.

Having trouble with Mail rules that I have used in the past - they no longer work. Any ideas? Running 10.4.10

Yes, the same thing has happened to me.
But I'd like to avoid having to set up the the rules again (if I trashing the com.apple.mail.plist. I have a lot of rules, and it would take some time to set them up again. Does anyone know of other options?

Mail rule no longer works - how 2 debug?

i have a mail rule which takes an attachment & sends it on to an fba for further processing (via a do shell call) then moves the mail to a done folder.
my shell script works perfectly when invoked from the cli, but doesn't seem to even get called from the mail rule (which used to work under tiger)
and since "perform mail action with messages" doesn't allow interaction, i can't salt my script with display dialogs to debug...
so where does mail rule output go? is there an error log somewhere? console shows nothing...

on a hunch i added a delay right after i saved the attachment...that fixed it.
but i still don't have a way of seeing what's going on in a mail rule script.

Mail App no longer working after 2.0 upgrade

I upgraded to 2.0 on my IPhone Edge and now my mail application no longer works AT ALL. If I try to open it, it simply shows me a blank mail screen, waits for a few seconds and then returns to the home screen. Strangely enough, I have been able to send email photos using the camera application.
Email is the most important application for me on the iPhone! Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a fix available?

I recently stopped by the apple store and have fixed my mail app! The problem as described to me was caused by a installing apps. Turns out that apps can mess with Mail setting in some way and perhaps due to a bad setting or a bad combination of settings my mail application stopped working. The way I fixed it was to do a restore to New Iphone which, unfortunately, wipes everything! But after syncing back up including re-installing all of my apps, mail works again! Of course, I lost all of my notes, various settings, and lots of other stuff. Turns out that a simple restore, since it backs up your phone beforehand (backing up bad settings at the same time) is not the silver bullet but a full restore to new iphone probably often is. Hope this helps others.

HT6114 My CanoScan 8600F no longer works with Mavericks- No drivers available from Canon

My CanoScan 8600F no longer works with Mavericks upgrade. Canon does not offer new drivers.

The Canoscan Toolbox works with Mavericks to scan, copy, etc.
If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements the drivers can be installed so one can scan from within those applications.
All the necessary software (CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.1.2 Installer) can be obtained from the Canon site.
And, as Eustace mentioned, Vuescan works.

Went around the long way and reinstalled Mavericks since the Mac was acting a little flakey occasionally of late, and now the printer as once again been installed and works ok by wire. Have not yet had time to try to connect wirelessy yet, so...

Why do rules in mail preferences no longer work

I just converted to Mavericks. Now the rules for mail messages don't work. I've clicked them off and on again but no change. What else to I need to do to make the rules work?

Duplicate your copy of iTunes 10.x before upgrading to iTunes 11 (or restore it from a backup) and use iTunes 10.x to listen to (and in particular access the links in) podcasts. Further, file a bug with Apple that these links don't work when the album art is displayed in the album art mini-player.

Script no longer working under Maverick

I just upgraded to Maverick over the weekend and I can not figure out why this script no longer works. It has been working for the last 5 years.
The script moves a file my server sends per e-mail to a folder on a partition on my Mac. Here is the script.
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
          set selectedMsg to (current messages)
          set selectedMsg to item 1 of result
          set msgAttachment to attachments of selectedMsg
          set msgAttachment to result's item 1
          set attachmentName to name of msgAttachment
          set attachmentFile to ((path to desktop) & attachmentName) as text
save msgAttachment in attachmentFile
end tell
delay 3
set submitfolder to "OS E:Users:e:Desktop:" as alias
set collectionfolder to "/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as alias
tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains ("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U")) to collectionfolder
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains ("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U")) to trash
I now get:
If I run:
tell application "Finder"
          open ("/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as POSIX file)
end tell
it opens the folder no problem so the path must be ok? or?
Any ideas why it is broken?

Are you getting the error on this statement
set collectionfolder to "/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as alias
or when you do the move? And what is the error number you are getting?
Also try this
set filePart to "week " & (do shell script "date +%U")
log filePart
tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains filePart) to collectionfolder
to see what the string looks like.

Modifying existing mail rules now even worse with Mavericks 10.9.1

Mail nightmares continue with Mavericks update 10.9.1 installed. In fact, the nightmare gets bigger. The story goes like this.
Prior to Mavericks, I created a stack of rules to move Mail messages from the Inbox to designated Mailboxes, e.g. messages from Friends would be moved to a Friends mailbox. Everything worked fine.
Along comes Mavericks, and when I Edit a rule to add a new recipient, and Apply that rule change to Move existing messages to another mailbox, messages would be Copied instead of being Moved, even though Move was the only action selected.
Now with Mavericks 10.9.1, nothing happens when I Edit an existing rule and then Apply the rule change to an existing message. The messae just sits in the Inbox and does not appear at all in the Mailbox I want to move it to.
How do I modify mail rules to move a message to another mailbox, then apply that rule modification to existing messages?

Hi BG 29,
Unfortunatelly you are not the only one with this problem. I am in the same situation with the exception that once I create the rule the new incoming messages will go to the designated mailbox. If you want to create a new rule, the message will just copy, not move to the mailbox. I contacted Apple support and a representative called me back and asked me to do all kind of stuff, but no luck. I was hopping that the update to 10.9.1 will solve this, but again no luck. I gave up in trying....I am waiting for the next update and hope for the best.

HP OfficeJet 6500A fax no longer works after Mavericks update

After updating to Mavericks and installing the HP software drivers, the fax component no longer works. I installed the fax part of the update, and when I print to fax, instead of triggering the machine to dial a number like it did in Mountain Lion, the printer prints out garbage text. There's no relevant support page on HP's website about this issue. Anyone got their HP fax to work via print to fax from their Mac?

Hello Peter,
It sounds like you are not able to fax from your HP OfficeJet 6500A. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Additional Information
Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB. For more details, see this article.

Presonus FP-10 no longer works after Mavericks update

I updated my Mac Mini to Mavericks and now my Presonus FP-10 will not work. I know that Presonus has made a statement that FP-10 is no longer compatible with Maverick or Mountain Lion. I had it up and running in Mountain Lion. My question is can I reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion to fix this urgent problem. I am using my Mac Mini O SX 10.9 as of now.

I have now managed to get the Canon LBP6300dn printer working on my network (i.e. I did not use USB at all).
In case it helps others, here are the steps I performed.
Infrastructure:
My printer is connected by LAN cable to my Airport Extreme.
The Airport Extreme has a DHCP reservation defined for the printer (e.g. fixed address of 10.1.2.3).
I need A4 as the default paper size, so I installed the UK version of the driver (Mac_CAPT_V365_uk_EN.dmg). I do not know if the locale makes any difference.
I orginally set-up the printer when I used Mountain Lion.
My Mavericks installation on my laptop was clean (i.e. the hard disk was reformatted first)
Set-up:
The printer was switched on and installation was done on my Mavericks laptop over WiFi.
Double-click the .DMG file and follow the instructions.
Open System Preferences | Printers & Scanners.
Click + to add a new printer, the Add dialog should open.
For me, nothing appeared under the Default tab.
Click the IP tab.
In the Address: field: I entered the fixed IP address of my printer (e.g. 10.1.2.3).
The IP address should be automatically validated.
The Protocol: Field was set to Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
After a few seconds, the Use: field should display “Generic PostScript Printer”
Click on the Use: field’s menu to display available options and then pick “Select Software …”
In the Printer Software dialog, select “Canon LBP6300 CAPT (UK)” . Or the equivalent for your locale. Click Ok. Note: I could not get the “Canon LBP6300n CAPT (UK)” to work.
For me, an error “Unable to verify the printer on your network appeared”, but I clicked Continue.
I left the Paper Source Options set to none. (I do not have the 500 cassette.)
I clicked Ok to finish the adding of the printer
After this the printer was finally working for me, including duplex printing.
Anyway, I hope this might help others that are struggling with Mavericks and the Canon LBP6300dn printer.

Mail Sounds No Longer Work on iPhone 4.

The sounds for mail, incoming or outgoing, no longer work on my iPhone 4 (4.3.3). All it does is vibrate even though that is set to Off. All the other feature settings are set to ON. I have checked all the sounds and they work, they just don't work with the Mail any more. This is a MobileMe IMAP account. I tried re-setting everything without deleting data and that made no difference. The sounds worked perfectly up until a week or so ago. Any ideas on how to have them function again? In addition, when I connect the iPhone to my iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.7) the phone also vibrates. This is a new feature as well. Any chance a setting in iTunes might have caused this, and, if so, how to remedy it.
Thanks!

Problem solved. No further action.

Option-drag contacts to Finder no longer works in Mavericks

In all versions of Contacts and Address Book you could select multiple contacts, hold down the option key, then click and drag them into a folder, which would result in a separate vCard for each contact. If you did not hold down Option prior to dragging, all contacts were combined into a single vCard (eg: John Smith and 10 others.vcf).
I just installed Mavericks and now the option-drag method no longer works. As I drag the contacts to a folder everything looks like it is working as normal, except that when I drop, nothing shows up in the finder, the folder remains empty. If I don't hold down the option key, it works as normal and a single vCard is created for multiple contacts. Dragging one at a time also still works.
I would like to know if others are experiencing this as well. I assume this must be a bug, as without this ability the only way to export multiple separate vCards (that I know of) would be to drag them one at a time.

It's frustrating when Apple removes a feature you're used to using... But when they close a door....
Do the following:
1) Open the Contacts Application and select all the contacts you want to export
2) Open the Automator application and create a New Workflow
3) Select "Contacts" from the Library panel at the left
4) Drag the action "Get Selected Contact Items" from the middle panel and select "Get Selected PEOPLE" from the drop-down menu.
5) Drag the action "Export vCards" from the middle panel and select "Export INDIVIDUAL VCARDS" from the first drop-down menu and select a destination FOLDER from the second drop-down menu. Just create a new folder on your Desktop and select it, you don't want to save directly on the Desktop as this will put all your individual vcards there.
6) Run the workflow by hitting the PLAY button at the top-right of the window.
Optionally, you can save the workflow for future use, but the best practice would be to use the Get Selected Items and not the Get Specified Items, as the later would only export the contacts you already have there and not the new ones, I believe.
In any case, there's the window!
Rick.
