Mail was unable to find reply to message

Hi Guys
Im using OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and use Mail with Exchange for emails.  Just recently when I click on the grey return arrow to view the reply ton an email I have sent, it get the following error message:
'Mail was unable to find reply to your message. You may have deleted the message.'
The message has not been deleted as I can see it by going to my Sent folder.  It has also worked in the past.
Our whole office (10 people) are all set up EXACTLY the same with Mail/Exchange and are all using Yosemite.  Some of us have the same issue as me, and others work perfectly.
Does anyone else have this issue or a solution?
Cheers
Sara

Put this file to trash logout and log in and start mail Wait for reindex...on my mac it works with all replied arrows but problem is when I reply to new message and then click on arrow I have the same error about potentially deleted message.

  • Why do I get a error saying mail was unable to find your reply. You may have deleted message.

    when sending email, I sometimes get an error stating: Mail was unable to find your reply to:  You may have deleted message. This does not happen with every sent message but it is doing it more and more. The reply is no where to be found.

    You posted in a 4 month old dead post. 
    You would do better by posting a "New Topic" in the OS/Mail forum area of which os you are using.  You will need to indicate which version os you are using as well as which version of Mail you are using in order to get the proper attention to your post.  This will help the users reading your post to suggest solutions.

  • Mail was unable to find your reply to the message ".....

    I keep getting this message when I try to look for a reply from within mail by clicking on the reply arrow in the inbox that shows I've replied to the message:
    "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message "...." You may have deleted the message."
    https://skitch.com/jasondebruler/rshsf/mail
    This only happens when looking for sent items from my Exchange account. The feature works correctly on all of my gmail accounts.
    I have verified in the preferences that this account is set up (box is checked) to properly "Store sent messages on the server".
    Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Cheers for that. Yes they match,  the sent folders are the same both locally and on the web interface.  They both updating almost instantly when i send something. 
    The problem is when replying, although both sent folder views contain the sent item, the little reply arrow cannot link to replied sent item.  I have attached an image of the message:

  • TS3276 Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message."  I did not delete the message.

    Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message."  I did not delete the message.  Bug in the program, or am I missing something?

    Of course they're in my Sent folder.  Then why can't Apple Mail find them?

  • TS3276 Mail was unable to find your reply to the message. You may have deleted the message.

    Mail was unable to find your reply to the message “subject”. You may have deleted the message.
    Using IMAP account. Just started happening last week.  Any suggestions?

    NO suggestions for fixing it Frank, but I'm having the same exact problem.  I have taken to copying all messages before sending them, and sending them twice.  What a pain in the ... um, neck!

  • "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message... You may have deleted the message."

    I'm experiencing some kind of corruption in Mail's ability to connect replies to messages.
    The error I'm starting to get says this:
    "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message... You may have deleted the message."
    And these emails are no longer threading like conversations and when you click on the little "read reply" arrow icon it can't find the reply.
    What could be up here please?!?!?
    Thanks!
    David

    CT,
    Thanks SO much for a reply.
    Yes it survives a restart, but i had no idea about this "Rebuild" option.
    Trying that now!
    Cheers!

  • Mail is unable to find response to messages

    When selecting the backward arrow icon in the mail column view I get an error message reading 'Mail was unable to find your response to the message “message title”. You may have deleted the message.'
    This occurs frequently, even right after sending an e-mail. I am confused as I did not delete the copy of the outgoing message and it is still found in the "sent" message mailbox.
    This did not occur in my old Powerbook but has started in my new MacBook Pro. I have everything set up the same as my Powerbook so, again I am confused. The email accounts are POP (not imap), if that makes a difference.
    Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

    This is a problem that has been reported here quite a few times and for which no solution has been found yet. Doing some cache-cleaning, or even just restarting the computer, fixed the problem in some cases.
    Read the following article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    Be sure to read this as well:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    In addition to the utilities mentioned there for cache cleaning, you may also consider OnyX or Cache Out X, which are free.

  • Mail was unable to find your response

    In the message viewer window, when you have responded to a msg, there is a little arrow icon. When you click on that icon, it's suppose to bring up your response. I have five email accounts (I know, I know, simplify) 1 .mac acct., 2 pop accts., and 2 IMAP accts.
    I can use the response icon for all but one of the IMAP accounts (my main account of course).
    So of the two IMAP accounts, the response icon works for one, but not the other. They have the exact same incoming mail server, and outgoing SMTP server, and they both are configured the same way in Acct Info, Behaviours, and Advanced settings. The only difference is the account user.
    I'm stumpped. Any ideas?

    Another thing that may be worth trying in your case is this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Move the “IMAP-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Linking replies to messages when "Mail is unable to find your response"

    Hi all,
    I have discovered that for some of my email Mail.app can't seem to find the reply sent when I click on the grey reply arrow that sits to the left of the email. I see the following Error Message: "Mail was unable to find your response to the message "###". You may have deleted the message." I have noticed that this usually occurs when I have replied to email via the .Mac website, instead of from my computer using Mail.app. For instance, when I travel.
    The problem may be because I use my full name as the Full Name (sender identity) when replying via the .Mac website, but use my initials and surname as the Full Name (sender identity) when replying using Mail.app on my iMac. However, I am not convinced that this should make a difference as the actual email address is the same for both.
    What I would like to know is, can I link the sent email to the original email? I can see them both and I'd love to be able to tell Mail, "Hey this was my reply!"
    Any help or advice gratefully received.
    TIA.

    BUMP
    Anybody know how to get the reply arrow icons to actually find the replies I have sent?
    Or is this a case of whenever you reply to an email via the .Mac website, Mail.app will know you replied to it, but can't link the grey arrow to the message in the Sent Mail mailbox on the server?

  • Any Update on Mail's "unable to find your response"?

    This has been discussed here in past years, I can see, but I'm still wondering if there's been a fix....
    My Mail program (2.1.3) is still doing it about 50% of the time. An email I responded to just last night, still in my InBox (or it could be in the Trash as well) -- this morning I can't find using the round gray arrow, getting the same error message saying "Mail was unable to find your response to..."
    Any fix for that? Isn't it about time for Apple to fix this? Or is Tiger a Dinosaur Apple wants to dump and forget about?.....

    In your Inbox messages, whenever you reply to a certain message, there is a curved gray arrow created to the left of the message. When you click on that arrow, the reply message is suppose to open in a different window.
    Ah, I see, thanks, is this a Pop or IMAP account?
    I wish I could embed a screen shot....

  • Trying to set up time capsule but keep getting message stating airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device. What do I do know?

    Trying to set up my time capsule on my imac.
    Keep getting message "Airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless devices."
    What do I do now?
    joglenn

    When having difficulties accessing the Time Capsule (TC) via the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
    Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the TC wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the TC's LAN ports.
    Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
    Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.
    Finally, if you are attempting to access the TC via an Ethernet connection, be sure that your Ethernet port is NOT configured for Jumbo Frames, i.e., using an MTU of 9000+.

  • Security processor was unable to find a security header in the message. This might be because the message is an unsecured fault or because there is a binding mismatch between the communicating parties.

    We have a web role where we have hosted a WCF service.
    We are facing the below exception intermittently on consuming the service.
    Security processor was unable to find a security header in the message. This might be because the message is an unsecured fault or because there is a binding mismatch between the communicating parties.   This
    can occur if the service is configured for security and the client is not using security.
    This is intermittent. Few calls fail , and the subsequent calls succeed without making any changes.
    Please help in overcoming this abnormal behavior.
    Thanks in advance !!

    Hi Eswar,
    As the error message mentioned, it may be a mismatch between the configuration on the client and the server.Try putting all your configuration in a binding configuration and then use the same binding configuration on the server and client. Since this issue
    is more related with WCF, I suggest you move to WCF forum, it is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

  • Error: Mail was unable to rename ....

    I have a few mailboxes in On My Mac that contain a couple of levels of subfolders. I'm not having any trouble accessing messages in these mailboxes, but when I try to move or rename some of these folders I get an error message that says I'm unable to rename the mailbox. If I try to rename "Mailboxname" to "OtherName", for instance, I get the message:
    Error: Mail was unable to rename "~Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Personal/Saved Mail/Archive/Mailboxname
    While the error dialog is present, the display name of the folder in the sidebar changes to:
    Mailbox "OtherName" does not exist
    When I dismiss the error, the mailbox name reverts to Mailboxname.
    Another oddity, sometimes, I'm unable to delete existing mailbox. I right click on them, select Delete Mailbox, confirm the deletion when prompted, and the mailbox is still there.
    Any suggestions for how I can address this?
    I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes that can't be renamed, and I've run the vacuum command in Terminal, but nothing seems to resolve the issue.

    My guess is that Folder 1 was seen as a white folder Icon in the Sidebar, before and after subfolder 1 went missing. As a white folder, Mail could see the items apparently still contained within it. Recreating the subfolder somehow allowed the display of content from the Messages folder, that apparently survived the previous delete operation. We would have been able to go into the Finder and see this, I think, but I also think you are very lucky.

  • Can't sign out of iCloud on Yosemite. Mail was unable to delete 'email'.

    I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1 and I'm trying to log out of my iCloud account, but it won't let me. The error message I keep getting says,
    "Mail was unable to delete 'email'. Relaunch Mail then sign out of iCloud again."  I get the same message if I try to delete the account from Internet Accounts.
    I've tried adding the email account in, but it says it's already there. I've deleted the com.apple.mail folder rebooted and tried and still the same thing.
    The supervisor and engineers at Apple phone support have yet to find a solution for this other than wiping my system clean and starting fresh. That's definitely not my preference.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Stacy

    I had the same issue. I rebooted to safe mode by holding the shift key at boot up. From there I went to System Preferences, iCloud, and I was able to finally sign out.
    Hope this works for you.
