Mail's "Hide Related Messages" doesn't stick?

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and am now running into an issue that I haven't found any information on.
In Mail I often open up an email into a new window if I'll be referring to it often. With Mountain Lion it defaults this to the "Show Related Messages" view with that white message over the OSX grey background and all the related emails threaded below it. I don't want this. I go up to View -> "Hide Related Messages" and it goes away.... only to return when I restart Mail, restart my computer, log out/in, or even sometimes when I come back from screensaver or the dashboard. I can't for the life of me get this "Hide Related Messages" setting to stick.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Try Mail Preferences/Viewing/Include related messages (uncheck that box). I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and had roughly the same problem which I fixed this way. I prefer to have that as an icon on my toolbar, which you can add by going to the View menu, Customize toolbar, and drag the "show related messages" icon to the toolbar.

  • "Hide Related Messages" button shouldn't be grayed out

    New iMac, OS X Lion, Mail 5.1, everything migrated over from older iMac running Snow Leopard
    Getting used to the way Lion handles some things in Mail has been a challenge for one of my coworkers. But this one has me stumped.
    Normally, when you select a message that is part of a Conversation, you can click on the "Hide Related Messages" button to look at just the message you have selected. But, for this person, the "Hide Related Messages" button is grayed out - even when a message that's part of a conversation with multiple messages is selected. They really want to be able to look at their messages one at a time without seeing every message tied to it as well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Anyone?

  • Mail can't send messages: Doesn't allow fix the problem either: Help plz.

    Hi all,
    Mail doesn't allow me to send messages through my recent created aim.com account
    I'm trying to fix the problem by changing smtp server configuration but it gives me the message:
    "The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved.
    Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings.
    Resolve the conflicts and try again."
    There are no icons whatsoever and deleting any similar server won't take effect because Mail WON'T save the changes.
    When clicking "ok" to save changes, Mail will throw the same message quoted above. So I have to click "Cancel"
    Any idea to solve this issue?
    Thank you.

  • Mail + Exchange 2007 + Move message doesn't work

    I have my Apple mail program setup to use my work Exchange account and for the most part it works great. However, when I try to move mail from my Inbox to a subfolder, it fails. I've tried dragging the mail to the folder and I've tried going through the right click menu. I've also tried different folders and different pieces of mail with the same result. I can move messages with my iPhone and with my work PCs Outlook client. Lastly, I've checked the main network ports on the Exchange server to verify that my communications with the server are not being blocked. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I've been looking at a lot of the posts concerning this issue and I am posting my console messages to each of them. This is the console message I get when trying to delete a message:

  • Mac Mail: Check for new messages doesn't work

    Hi,
    In Mac Mail the setting at  "Preferences -> Check For New Messages" I have set for manual and yet Mail still fetches emails when I haven't asked it too. I previously had this setting set to check for messages every hour but it ignored that setting too so I set it to manual but this setting is ignored. Ideally I'd like to check mail every four hours but there isn't a setting for that.
    I'm running Lion and have IMAP email accounts.
    Any idea how I can get Mac Mail not to ignore my Check For New Messages setting?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the link. Well I never would have found that out without some help. I saw the IDLE in the IMAP settings I didn't know it was a kind of PUSH / FETCH thing. Anyway I've got it on manual now and only seems to get emails when I send one or press the button. I've only changed it a little while ago so I hope this is actually fixed.
    Thanks again it was driving me nuts!

  • I want my Mail to not make a thread out of all related messages into one. I hate it.

    With my new Mac came the new Mail. Now I hate it. It puts everything on to a single thread of messages. And if you open the thread and there is more that one unread message, you can probably skip one of the unread.
    I exactly what happens in GMail.
    Does somebody know how to undo this?
    Thanks.

  • Mail related messages & mac lion

    hi friends,
    i switched 1 year back to macs - been absolutely loving it so far ..
    1.  In SL mail, in any folder when there were "related" messages, the background would get highlighted in a light blue tint.    It was an excellent feature.
    In Lion, Mail Preferences, i've checked highlight messages with color when not grouped but YET NOTHING HAPPENS.
    Can anybody help me please - i dont like to group messages by conversations.
    Thank you.
    2.   I use Onyx regularly, yet i find Lion much slower than Snow Leopard especially booting up - is there any way to speed up the boot up time - i bought my Macbook Pro just 3 months back.   I use my Mac for business only so using Mail - Things - Filemaker Pro - Numbers - Excel - Evernote.
    Thank you very much

    I believe there is an option to change this setting, however, I'm not at my Mac right now and can't remember what menu its under. I'll get back to you in about 2 hours if no one else has provided a solution before that time.

    I've had the same problem on 3 computers since updating them to 10.8.4

    It only happens to my mail after viewing a message that contains a password protected pdf.  If I don't open emails that contain the pdfs mail works perfectly, but once I've clicked on a message that contains a pdf every email turns blank.  Mac mail & POP accounts.  I can double-click the email to have it viewable in a new window but still can't open the pdfs. I get password protected pdfs regularly for work.
    They're standard drives, no partitioning.
    I've tried the "sandbox" suggestion with no joy.  & I've also tried removing junk filtering which is a suggestion on another thread.
    I don't think I'm up to re-installing 10.8.3 so I've been using a browser for emails.

  • Password-protected PDFs making mail blank view of messages?

    Surreal problem that seems to have started about the same time as my 10.8.4 update (from 10.8.3): 
    Viewing the standard Mail view, with mailboxes on the left, message list for the selected mailbox in the middle, and message text in the largest pane on the right of the window; when moving through the list of messages, moving down and seeing the message texts to the right, all of a sudden, the preview pane to the right go BLANK.  And I've narrowed it down to several suspect messages that came from a regular group of business contacts who send me reports as password-protected PDFs.  I prepared a test PDF with Preview, encrypted, and used that to test the proposition that password-protected PDFs are what is 'breaking' the view of message contents in the right hand window, and it is clearly the problem.
    After I view a message with the gray password-protected preview image showing in the preview pane, switching to another message in the message list, that next message shows a normal header but the text/body of the message shows blank.  And then the next messages keep showing blank until I either:  hide and unhide the main mail window OR quit and reopen mail.  But double-clicking on any message in the list to open it properly in its own window shows it normally. 
    Rebuilding my mailboxes did not help.  Rebooting did not help. 
    Any ideas about what the heck might be going on?

  • Show related messages?

    A small thing but... I like the view when you click on an email it shows the related messages in the thread below in SEPARATE boxes - not all in the same box.
    After clicking on an email, if I select 'show relates messages' in the View menu it shows this.
    If I go into Preferences and tick 'Include Related Messages' I would assume it sets this view for all emails - but it doesn't.
    I still see the related messages below but they are not in separate boxes.
    Is there a way to set this view permanently for all emails?
    thanks
    Pete

    JPeters86,
    apparently you didn’t read the first paragraph of my message:
    Both computers have the “include related messages” setting enabled in the preferences of Mail.app
    So, thanks for trying, but of course I’m already aware of that.
    Ángel.

  • Why does Mail always classify AOL messages as junk?

    Hello everyone,
    Has anyone encountered the strange anomaly of Mail always dropping any message from an AOL user in the junk folder? This happens even if the sender is in my address book. I've even set up a rule to move any AOL mail into my inbox, but it's made no difference.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this?
    Thanks.

    I am experiencing the same problem with AOL recently. I just discovered this a couple of weeks ago. AOL doesn't come through. Now I am finding today some of the other e-mails from people in my directory are also not coming through. The junk filter is set to leave e-mails in the inbox. Any thoughts?
