Mail v7.2 - unable to email myself to inbox, goes to sent?

Fellow Applers!
I upgraded to Mail v7.2 the other day - and now I cannot email myself to my inbox? The email I sent to myself goes to my 'Sent' folder - and then I have to drag it across to my Inbox.
Is there a rule somewhere where Mail is automatically thinking the email to myself is a duplicate?
It's useful for me to email myself documents as I can then pick them up on my iPhone and iPad at a later date.
Anyone able to help?
Many thanks.

iPhoto simply copies the photos to the library on import. It does not compress them in any way.
I am unable to enlarge or edit the files in iPhoto. I am unable to export the files from iPhoto and now I am unable to email the pictures.
This sounds like the actual photos are not available to iPhoto. How did go about changing from a managed to a referenced library?
Select any of the affected pics in the iPhoto Window and Right Click on it. From the resulting menu choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will open. It should have the actual file selected. Does it?

  • Mail and Address Book: Deleted email returns to Inbox

    Hello all and happy holidays...
    That is until just a while ago, my Mail keeps receiving two similar emails (one with attachment) of Xmas Specials and offerings from one of the vendor/shop I visited. When I click on the mail itself, I just see the "loading..." in the message body, no pics, no text, assuming it is a large graphic-based or something email, *so I tried deleting them, only to have them re-appear again in the IN box.*
    *I just simply can't get rid of them!* Every time I delete them, they disappear from the IN box, I click the Trash icon, they are there, I further delete them, and when I click back the IN box, they are back again
    It has become an annoyance! I call the shop and they said their marketing dept will take me off the email list, but they can't help me on the immediate problem, *how to trash these email away permanently?* They actually ask me to call AppleCare Hotline...! Gosh, I know about AppleCare Hotline and they will go through you the 1001 steps to diagnose your system one step at a time, I just thought this is the vendor's "problem" and they should be able to fix the problem for me!
    So anyone, hope someone's home and getting online here, if you know how to, please help.
    Thanks a zillion and Merry Xmas!

    Move the offending file to the Trash and make sure that Trash does not contain any files you may want to retain.
    Shut down Mail.
    From the Finder click on Go>Home.
    Double click on the Library.
    option drag the Mail folder to the desktop.
    This should make a copy of the Mail folder.
    Once you are sure that Mail is backed up, open the Mail folder in the Library.
    Open the Mailboxes folder and open the Deleted Messages.mbox>Messages folder.
    Drag any messages in the folder to the trash can in the Dock.
    Empty Trash.
    Now reopen the Mail folder and locate the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 and the Envelope Index files and drag them to the desktop.
    Next close all windows and open the Mail program.

  • TS3899 My mail account shows 1340 unread emails, yet the inbox is empty with no subfolders.

    My "Mail" app shows that I have 1340 unread emails in red.  When I go to the inbox, it says 1340 unread emails, yet there is none in the inbox.  I have checked my mail provider adn there is no emails there either. 

    First if you have multiple inboxes please make sure that you're looking at the all inboxes category. If this is correct then try removing the account and adding it back. If no joy
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Email not sending but going into sent folder

    Hi everyone, occasionally when i send mail, I dont get the swoosh and the mail doesnt get sent - it does, however, go into the sent folder so I have no idea that it has failed, any idea/fixes out there - thanks

    According to Comcast's help pages, you should be using port 587 for the outgoing (SMTP) email server.
    @JoeyG15, port 80 is HTTP, that's for web access, etc., not email.

  • How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into inbox?

    How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into the inbox over and over again? It does the same thing with deleted messages that keep showing up again and again in multiples even after deleting them. I have made sure my server settings in all email accounts are set to delete immediately once I delete them on my MacBook Pro/IPhone. This issue has severely compromised the efficiency of Mail on my MacBook. Thanks for any help you're able to give me.

    I have tried that but it does not fix the problem.
    The "card" group is not a previous recipient.
    Although not available for editing in Contacts, it is a valid group showing up in the "To" field of Messages, Mail, or any app using the AddressBook.
    Its associated file is automatically created in:
    ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/Sources/<hexaFolder>/MetaData/<hexa>ABG roup.abcdg
    This is why it also shows up in the Spotlight results...
    If I manually remove this file, it gets recreated...
    If I turn off the syncing through iCloud, the entry gets deleted. If I turn it up, it comes back!

  • Lion Mail preview not loading / showing emails

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, the new Mail program is not working correctly.
    It appears many of my messages (in the inbox, sent, drafts) only have the email address and header, and don't have any text in the actual email....so in the preview pane, it just says loading....and nothing loads.  I have seen others postings similar problems online.  I've tried some of the solutions, none worked.
    I can send and received new emails - and they show up fine in the preview pane.
    All the emails in mailboxes I've created On My Mac in mail are fine.
    How do I get all my emails in the inbox, drafts and sent to show up correctly?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi DreamsPower:
    I did not have any luck with the rebuild mailbox command, or other solutions posted online, so this is what I did to restore my missing mail:
    1) run time machine so I have a backup of my current Lion Mail programs data.
    2) deleted all the messages (inbox, drafts, sent, etc.) that would not show anything in preview window. Since I had sent and received a number of emails after installing Lion....and these new emails showed up fine in preview, so I did not delete them.
    3) opened up time machine backup to a date just before I did the Lion upgrade, and then restored the Mail programs data folder (users>library>mail) to my desktop.  This gives me a copy of the Mail program data files (all my emails) before the Lion System/Mail upgrade.  Then opened the appropriate mailbox subfolder folder (from the restored mail folder on my desktop), such as the inbox, and then opened the messages folder or folders in the inbox (there may be several and they may be buried in numbered folders).  The message folder(s) will have your emails (the emails will have numbers for names).  Then I just option dragged (copied) the email messages and dropped them in my Lion Mail programs inbox, and now my inbox has all my missing messages.  Did the same for the drafts and sent emails.  So now I have all my mail and they show up when previewed.  Since the messages in my other mailboxes were fine, I did not need to delete and replace them.
    Hope this makes sense.....

  • Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

    Question
    Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

    Hi terrybohle1938,
    Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
    That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
    Hopefully this helps!

    I've rec'd a few errors related to syncing Mail, but none have had this specific wording. If you haven't already, try quitting Mail before syncing. Also, make sure that you're not in your Settings areas on the iPhone before syncing. Hope this helps!

  • IPhoto 11--unable to email pics using iPhoto mail

    After I select a photo and then click on the "Share" button to email the photo using iPhoto, iPhoto crashes. However, when I change the mail program in iPhoto to Apple Mail, I am able to email the photo.

    rceenik:
    Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's in there and close iPhoto. Relaunch iPhoto and add it back again.
    nhsebas:
    Do you have your gmail account setup in the Mail application's Accounts pane?
    If you don't then do so.  If you do and still can't send from iPhoto with "Mail" set as your email client,
    Then delete the Gmail account, close Mail, reopen and add it back again.

  • My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

    My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • In Mavericks "Mail" I am unable to access the BCC: line or to put a contact on that line for sending.

    In Mavericks Mail I am unable to access the BCC: line for sending a blind carbon copy.  I open my Contacts list, select a person, and when I click on the BCC: box above in the Contacts window, the person is not entered onto a line in the email for receiving a BCC: and the BCC: line does not even appear.  Thoughts from all you experts out there?

    I managed to find the answer to my own question.  As shown in the screenshot below, the header field area on a new message contains a small lined box in the lower left corner of it.  If you click on the lined box, it allows you to customize the Header field, such as adding a BCC: line.
