Mail Stationery the te

I tried to use the Mail Stationery to send a mail to a relative. All those templates look great but... I typed more text than possible and the template just gives me this sound that there are no more actions to do. That is annoying if you can only type as much as fits in the text field. It only does that on the Stationery Tack Board... I guess I'll just use a different one. But all the other ones don't have as many Photo Paceholders...

And BUAH! I don't like this! Mail has so many bugs! I saved a Mail as a draft and I had a Subject, Pictures and a Recipient. I klick on Save Draft and it does nothing. Then, when I close it, it asks me to save. I klick on Save and whoops! All my Pictures are gone and the Recipient disappeared. Same thing with the Subject! What is wrong with this?? Apple! Fix! Now!
... please?

Ironing the bugs out of a custom Mail Stationery

So I'm making a custom Mail Stationery for myself. It's pretty set up the way I want to look. It looks good when I'm sending it, and to someone else who uses the Mail client, it looks like it's supposed to as well.
In Gmail's web interface, it doesn't work. Basically, Gmail misinterprets the images I use for the template as attachments, and displays them as so, rather than using them for the interface.
Here's the source code I'm using:

Mail stationery. What the heck?

So, I have created an email that I will be sending out to a bunch of folks.
I had the brilliant idea to save it as stationery, so I can personalize each email.
Except when I go to use my letter, I can't personalize jack. It's like the text is a big picture. I click on it, and it highlights blue, with a blue border. I can't get a cursor.
I've been googling for an hour. It seems to me that my text has itself become the placeholder, as when I tried some of the existing templates, it replaces all of my text with text I've typed on the other templates.
For the life of me I can't understand what I am missing here. Help!

I had the same problem, was driving me nuts.
Turned out that since we had to replace a firewall at work (which hosts our mail server) the Alternative SMTP ports were blocked, and these were required because my home ISP blocks port 25.
So when we finally got ports 465 and 587 opened in the mail server firewall again then Mail at home was happy again and has stopped crashing since then.
However, the perhaps obvious symptoms of this problem was that you couldn't send any emails from home either, so if you don't have that problem, then who knows...
In another thread they had some success with the following:
• Run Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities folder) and choose the "Verify Disk" option.
- If errors are found, find your installer DVD, boot from it, and run its Disk Utility choosing the "Repair Disk" option
• While booted from your hard drive, rerun Disk Utility and choose the "Repair Disk Permissions" option
• Download the 10.6.5 combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
• Reapply/reinstall the update
Best of luck!

Can't find the custom mail stationery folder since upgrade to Lion

I have some custom mail stationery items I created in Leopard and have since upgraded to Lion when it was released. Today I went to edit one of my custom ones and the folder was no longer present in the old location at
User folder/Library/Application Support/Mail/Stationery/Apple/Contents/Resources/Custom
I have searched everywhere looking for the 'custom' folder but can't find it.
Problem is that mail still is showing them as if they still exist (and can use them) but I can't find where they are. I decided to try creating a new template to see where it stored it but I can't find it anywhere and definitely not in the usual place.
Can someone please point me in the right direction .. I'm pulling my hair out!!!!

Binaut's answer is great. However, how I was able to successfully move and place my custom stationery packages so they would show up in the "CUSTOM" category in a new mail using stationery took a different path. I had to place it in the SYSTEM Library FIRST. Of course I made the changes to the Table of Contents.plist and all that. AFTER I placed the package in the System/Library/Application Support etc. (the traditional place for templates) Mavericks Magically created the CUSTOM folder automatically and everything worked.
If I'm off on this, please let me know.
Below is a link to a new discussion I've started.
Hope this works for you! There's also a link to a good tutorial on creating your custom stationery in the first place.
Best to you!

Mail Stationery Appearing As Attachments!

Hi,
I love the new Stationery in Apple Mail, however, I've noticed a problem. If I send an e-mail to someone on Google Mail, and they read the e-mail on the Google Mail website, the stationery shows up but underneath it are 1-3 attachments of graphics used to make the stationery. This is very messy.
Does anyone know why this is happening? A Leopard bug perhaps?

Sounds like Google mail needs some fixing.

Mail Stationery Templates are in Latin? How do I get them to English?

I've searched and searched and finally reached the end of the internet with no answer! All my mail stationery templates default to Latin. How do I get them to default to English. HELP!

it's not Latin. It's Lorem Ipsum
http://www.lipsum.com/
It's a placeholder text without any meaning.

Custom mail stationery missing...

While I have the stationery in Mail, it does not appear to be where it should be. I read the following article: http://www.jdempsey.com/how-to-create-customized-osx-mail-stationery-in-leopard/
The thing is none of the stationery templates are anywhere to be found. I've searched for it with Spotlight but found nothing.
I created a template in Mail called "iantest" and it saved by default in
Mail>Stationery>Apple>Contents>Resources>Custom>Contents>Resources
Perhaps I can modify content.html in my "iantest" file, but then would the images be embedded and would there be any placeholders?
Do you know where the Mail stationery is?

mail stationery is located in yourharddrive/library/application support/apple/mail/stationery/apple/contents/resources/stationery/contents/reso urces.
first path is yourharddrive, not homefolder.
hope this helps

Installing New Mac Mail Stationery Templates

I'm trying to install a custom stationery template into my Mac Mail which I believe should be placed here.
Library > Application Support > Mail > Stationery > Apple > Contents > Resources > Custom > Contents > Resources
However, there's no "Mail" folder within my "Application Support".
If you have any suggestions, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks, in advance.

Back to the original problem:
I'm trying to install a custom stationery template into my Mac Mail
Who from, and did they provide an installer?
The reason I ask is that I recently downloaded and installed a set of stationery templates for Mail from
http://www.jumsoft.com/stationery/
They work perfectly. The installer put them at the location I mentioned, but I have no idea whether the installer created that subfolder where I found them.
Worth checking.

Mail Stationery Templates

The 30 or so professionally designed stationery templates that come as standard with the Mail application have disappeared from my computer. I know not how!!
I am running OSX v 10.5.8 and Mail version 3.6 (936)
Where can I find the templates on my computer or where can I download them?
Please advise

then reinstall Mail from the Leopard disk as Klaus says. this will not affect your Mail data in any way. it will just reinstall the Mail application. applications never contain any user data. that's stored in your home directory and will not be touched. after you reinstall Mail you'll also need to reinstall 10.5.8 combo update (download it by hand from the apple website) to bring Mail to its current version.

Mail Stationery and HTML

Hi there,
Is there someone who knows if I can use a HTML-page (that I created in iWeb) as a new mail stationery? I need to make a newsletter for my company, but the standard stationery is not statisfying for me and i need a stationery that includes pictures in the text and not as a header or a footer.
Thanx!
iMatts

Okaaaaay, we are getting close, but still ... not the result that's needed
The header picture is fine and looks great, but the pictures and text in the content area are not editable or changeable. A rectangular box is shown with the 'X' to close it on the upper left corner.
I think using HTMLs from iWeb for email stationery should be something easily do-able, because it is both HTML and a great way to personalize your emails ... (hope Cupertino is reading this :)).
Anyone else who succeeded in this topic ???

Use stationery in messages
You can add a personal touch to a message by using stationery. For example, if you’re inviting friends to dinner, you can use the Dinner stationery to make your message look like a professionally printed invitation.
Apply a stationery template
In the New Message window, click the Stationery icon in the toolbar.
To view the template choices, click a category, such as Announcements.
To use a template, click its thumbnail.To try a different template, click another thumbnail.
You can change the background color of some templates by clicking the thumbnail. For example, click the Daisies thumbnail several times to see different background colors.
After you decide on a template, click the Stationery icon again to see more of the message area.
If the template contains placeholder images, drag images from your desktop or the Finder over a placeholder.
If you have images on your Mac from using Aperture, iPhoto, or Photo Booth, click the Photo Browser icon in the message toolbar to view and select those images.
You can drag any folder of images onto the Photo Browser so that the images are easily accessible.
If the image is larger than the placeholder photo, double-click the image to display a slider you can use to zoom in on an area of the photo. You can also drag the image around to show a specific area.
If you use a template often, add it to the Favorites category. Drag the thumbnail over the category list. To remove a favorite, select it and click Remove (x).
Remove stationery
To remove a template from your message, click the Original thumbnail in the Stationery category.
Any text, images, or formatting you added is retained.
Create your own stationery
In a new message, enter and format your text, add images, and then choose File > “Save as Stationery.”
Your custom stationery will be available in the Custom category, at the end of the list.

When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been. How do I do this without the document changing?

I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

Setting up Mail for the first time with OSX Server 10.5.6

I just got done reading the 100+ page mail services administration manual. A few things are unclear and I wanted to clear those up prior to embarking on my first adventure configuring mail services.
The questions I have are the following:
1. When using mail for incoming and outgoing, do I 'have' to use local DNS services or can I simply change the MX records by my DNS Provider?
2. I have more than one IP on the server using the 'IP Alias' command. Will the mail server be able to distinguish the different mail domains base on IP Address, or will virtual domains need to be configured?
3. If virtual domains need to be configured, is this configuration simple or is it semi complex?
4. Provided the answer to questions two and three, what is the best configuration for the firewall settings on the server? Allow IMAP inbound, POP3, and SMTP? What else?
Thanks in advance

1. Mail service relies heavily on DNS. You may run your own DNS servers on the same network as your mail server or you can use a DNS provider to host your zone data including your MX record.
2. Your server will listen on all available network devices by default. It will only accept those messages for the hosts that are listed in the general pane, the local host list, or the virtual domain list under the advanced pane. No virtual domains need to be configured if all users are real users (i.e. shows up in WorkGroup Manager).
3. As stated in (2), you do not need virtual domains to receive e-mail for multiple hostnames or domain names, but you may want to do so if you want separate accounts with same usernames for different domains. E.g. [email protected] and [email protected] will go to two separate inboxes. It's not that difficult, but rather tedious if you already have a lot of e-mail accounts set up.
4. You must allow SMTP through the firewall to receive mail from the outside world. Depending on your clients, you may open IMAP or POP. There are no other specific ports necessary for mail to work at this level... except for Submission (587). Many ISP's block port 25 for mail clients. You may want to use port 587 for submissions so that your mobile users don't have to switch back and forth between the two ports when they change locations. This is done by editing /etc/imapd.conf manually.
