Mail - Snow Leopard

I use "signature". When I paste something into an e-mail and then change the signature, the pasted material disappears. This does not happen when using "original" material. Any ideas.

Is the pasted info accidentally highlighted? If so, a resulting keystroke could wipe it out.

  • In mail Snow leopard, the trash button was red, the unwanted mail orange, the type button is gone, help?

    In mail Snow Leopard, the trash button was red, the unwanted mail orange,there was a type button.  Now the type button is gone, the rest is grey, why?

    I mean in OS X Lion of course. Same with Finder window: There used to be a 'Today' option, where has that gone? It was so easy to have an overview of the work you were busy with. Does anybody has a tip?

  • HT2500 Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

    Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

    That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
    I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.

  • Mail, Snow Leopard and iCloud mail server settings

    If I use the iCloud suggested settings as per:
    ENTERING iCLOUD MAIL SERVER SETTINGS IN SNOW LEOPARD
    as per Roger Wilmut's suggestions - http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html,
    will all my other incoming and outgoing mail accounts still work as usual?
    Thanks

    Whatever you enter in your settings for your iCloud mail account, they will not affect any other mail account you have set up in your mail application.

  • Can't open Mail (snow leopard)

    Hi
    I've had to reinstall my operating system - i used my original disc - leopard though I have a snow leopard upgrade disc. I had todo this 3-4 weeks ago and everything orked fine after reinstallation. My Mail froze today and won't open from the dock or the applications folder. I have seen in the MailtimemachineHelper all my emails are there plus extras in the trash folder 3 years ld that were long gone. I cannot open Mail and the screen blinks when I try to open it. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
    Thanks
    Sabina

    Check the console log (Applications > Utilities > Console.app) for any relevent errors that might be reported there.
    As a possible fix, (re)download the current combo update for 10.6.8, and see if installing that clears the problem.
    Given this is a fresh install and failing the combo update, wipe the boot disk, and reinstall it, and re-import your settings?  (I'd wonder if there's a problem with the installation kit you're using, or possibly with your disk, too.)

  • Password in Mail Snow Leopard not accepted

    I have an att.net email address through yahoo and try to use it through mail in snow leopard. However, when I click on the Mail icon, it asks "Enter password for account "smtp.att.yahoo.com:my email address". I use the password I use when I go to my email through yahoo, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions? I hate going through yahoo to get my mail.
    Thanks

    In Mail > Preferences > Accounts - Account Information
    Shows your incoming mail settings
    This should set to pop.att.yahoo.com
    With your user name and password set.
    At the bottom of this window is the outgoing smtp server
    Click on the drop down arrow next to your server name and select edit smtp server list
    With your server highlighted at the top,
    Click on Account Information - Server name should read - smtp.att.yahoo.com
    Click on Advanced
    Make sure 'Use default ports is checked
    Make sure the username and password are correct - retype it to make sure
    Click OK
    Back in the Accounts window, click on Advanced
    Set the port to 995 and tick use SSL
    Set the authentication to Password.
    If you are still not getting anywhere, log into Yahoo and search their help pages for 'pop email setup' and these settings should be offered to you. I do not have an account there, so I can't check this for myself.
    Hope this helps

  • Sync Mail - Snow Leopard to Leopard

    I have a PowerMac G5 as my main machine and a MBP for when I'm away. When both were using Leopard, I used to sync POP email (~/Library/Mail) from PM to MBP, work while away then sync back from MBP to PM when I got home.
    I've just upgraded the MBP to Snow Leopard and on running Mail as a test it updated the existing out-of-date mailboxes. When I next go away, if I sync from PM to MBP, I assume Mail (v4) will update the mailboxes but when I sync back, will Mail (v3.6) on the PM be able to read them? i.e. is this updating a change of format?

    My last sync was about two weeks ago so the mail on the MBP is two weeks old (i.e. no mail received by MBP since then).
    I have just moved the entire mail folder ~/Library/Mail of the PM containing mail that's right up-to-date onto my desktop for safety then copied the corresponding folder from the MBP in its place. This folder has of course been updated to the new format by Snow Leopard. I then opened Mail on the PM and all seems to be well - the messages are all there.
    I have not done any further testing but it seems that whatever Mail v4 does to "update" the files does not stop Mail v3.6 handling them.
    Perhaps someone more knowledgeable is in a position to experiment further.

  • Can I move Mail (Lion) files back to Mail (Snow Leopard)?

    Hi,
    I've encountered a screwy problem and am wondering if there is an easy fix.  I have an iMac at the office that is now running Lion, and a MacBook Pro at home running Snow Leopard (which I am keeping there for now because of the Quicken issue with Lion).  Anyway, my laptop hard drive totally failed (still trying to recover the data but have been unsuccessful so far...worst drive failure I've ever encountered...even TechTool Pro tech support couldn't help) and I lost literally 10s of thousands of emails over the last many years.  I have the vast majority of those emails on my iMac, but the file structure is all changed now so it is not straightforward to just copy-paste folders from the iMac (Lion) to the MacBook (Snow Leopard). 
    I can think of two tedious ways to move the files:
    1) Actually burrow into the ridiculous level of folders in the Lion Mail structure and copy directly...but I'm not willing to spend that time for 10s of thousands of emails.
    2) All prior years emails are in folders "On My Mac" on the iMac, so I can re-upload the emails via IMAP and then download them to MacBook...but this is tiresome.
    That said, is there a way to easily backward import the Lion Mail files to Snow Leopard Mail?
    Thanks,
    - DC

    Hi everyone,
    I was able to import my Apple Mail after downgrading from Lion to Snow Leopard.
    Here is what I did:
    - In Mail, click Mailbox > New Mailbox.
    - in the New Mailbox dialog box, select "On My Mac" as the location and give it any "MailboxName" you want. Click OK.
    - Now in Finder, open Library > Mail > Mailboxes > MailboxName.mbox. In the MailboxName.mbox folder (where MailboxName is whatever name you gave the mailbox), all you'll see is an info.plist file. Add a folder called "Messages".
    - Go to the location where you've backed up all of your email from Lion and drill down to the Messages folder where you have all your .emlx files. Copy all of these .emlx files and paste them into the new Messages folder you've created (i.e., at the Library > Mail > Mailboxes > MailboxName.mbox > Messages location).
    - Go back to Mail. If you open the new "MailboxName" folder under "ON MY MAC", you'll see that it is still empty. Snow Leopard Mail can't read the .emlx files from Lion Mail. But we're not done yet. There are some more steps.
    - On the Mail File menu, click Import Mailboxes.
    - Select Apple Mail and click Continue.
    - Browse to Library > Mail > Mailboxes, select "MailboxName.mbox", click Choose, and then click Done.
    - Snow Leopard Mail will now import Lion Mail. It creates an "Import" folder in Mail under "ON MY MAC". Expand the Import folder and you'll see a a folder with the "MailboxName" you selected. When you open this you'll see all of your mail items that came from Lion Mail.
    - You can repeat the above for each mailbox you want to import.

  • Font size problems in Apple Mail (Snow Leopard)

    Dear all
    When I send messages in large font, e.g. size 18 or size 24, the recipient complains of the text being too small, e.g. size 8 or 9. This is happening on everyone who I send mail too... It's problematic for me because I then have to write emails using gigantic letters so that the recipient receives mail with an average size.
    Does anyone know how this can be addressed?
    Thank you
    Kate

    you're not alone. see a similar thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2590118
    i just tried this and for now, it seems to work. i'm waiting for feedback from other Win PC & Mac users.
    Change Message font to Lucinda Grande 12 (seems to be the only font that works to solve this problem)
    Signature - change font to 10
    Uncheck "Always match..."
    if it works for you, please let us know.

  • Snow Leopard Mail color flags

    I am trying to to change the color of flags in Mail (Snow Leopard-OS10.6.8).
    I keep searching but regardless of my search specs (OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) I keep getting results for Lion or above.
    In one search result someone posted a screen shot showing a drop-down menu next to the flag icon in Mail toolbar. When I go to Customize Toolbar, I do not see any drop-down for the Flag icon. I did try the Colors icon but that is not the same and does not seem to effect the flag icon.
    My question is: can I change the colors of the flag icon (*in Snow Leopard)?
    Can I make different messages have different colored flags?
    Does that drop-down menu I saw exist? Again, in Snow Leopard?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    The multi colour flag option is not available for Snow leopard.   No drop down menu for flag exists in Snow Leopard.    What does exist by right clicking on the flag are the options of Icon, Icon and Text and Text only.   And that then applies to the whole menu bar.

  • Custom HTML email in Snow Leopard?

    Hi
    In Dreamweaver CS3, I've created an HTML page for email, so how do I get it (with its 2 jpg pics as well) over to MAIL, Snow Leopard and make it to where all text, format and pics can be sent to various email addresses?
    Thanks very much
    K

    Thanks very much for all the replies...I tried opening it in Safari and then sending to MAIL, that worked and even looked right, but when I sent it to myself to test, none of the graphics appeared. I take it that's because the folder/files were on my local hard drive not a server.
    So I'll put everything on a server and see if that works.
    Meanwhile, I tried also to save as stationary (without the graphics since they didn't show) and for some reason it didn't work, wouldn't save a "custom" folder...under system library/Application Support/Apple/Mail/Stationary/Apple/Contents/resources couldn't find this new custom folder - wonder.

  • How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

    I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly.  I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server.  Please edit the server list'.  No amount of tweaking appears to work.  Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also.  My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant.  The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
    I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
    Does anyone please have a solution to my problem?  At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2.  As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
    Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly.  One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

    You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some  computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
    Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?).  As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing.  Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
    That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail.  I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem.  You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
    The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
    All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox.  Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course.  The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself.  I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions.  This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line.   You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
    Many thanks for your perseverance.  You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

  • I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days old on my iMac running Snow Leopard.However, all old emails that I have not deleted are showing up on my macbook pro running the next OS (Lion?).  How do I get all my old emails back on my iMac?

    I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard.  However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted.  It is running the next operating system (Lion?).  Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac.  It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages.  I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

  • I have had to "re-instate" "Mail" on my 5yr old Macbook Pro after it got "lost"during an s/w upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6.8. In reinstated version all my Email archive folders are now missing from the screen. How/where do I find them ??

    I recently purchased Snow Leopard v10.6.3 in order to upgrade the OSX platform on my 5 year old Macbook Pro. That loaded without trouble. Then I needed to do an online upgrade from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 (via 10.6.4) and there the trouble commenced !! Somewhere along the way, the "Mail" application simply disappeared! On advice from Apple telephone support, I did a "selective" reinstall of "Mail" from the Snow Leopard disk, but the version of Mail it loaded (v4.5) was wrong for use with OSX v10.6.8 and so it kept asking for the 'latest" version (v4.6) and just would not work. I tried a "Fix" download provided on the Apple site, that didn't work.
    I spent 2 hours at the Genius Bar of my local Apple Store and they finally found a fix, after some difficulty. Apparently there had been a programming error somewhere in one of the Apple update downloads.
    So now I have "Mail" back - but the Mailbox folders now not as they were before - particularly they do not contain my archive Folders that I had been using to store certain historic emails.
    I think the folder structure on "Mail" is now identical to that on my "BT Yahoo" screen - whereas before they had been different. My local Apple Store told me that it was practice now to synchronise the "Mail" screen and (for example) the BT Yahoo screen to be identical. This is well and good going forward - but does not help me with access to my historic "email filing system" !!
    Anyone help me find those missing folders ??  They must be stored somewhere, but where ??!!
    Cheers

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
