Mails stored as drafts are dissapearing after 4 secs.

Hi,
I hope that I am not off topic here.
I am used to mail - I am not interested in changing to another non-apple client...
Since the latest security update for 10.3.9
i am having issues with my mail program 1.3.11 (v622/623).
Many users are reporting issues with indexing function, this works fine here...
Suddenly when trying to get new mail it says that there is a problem with opening the inbox. (propose a protected openening/quit/...)
I chose always quit. After a re-launch I usually am fine again. This issue returns from day to day and is really annoying.
Second issue is that stored mails in the draft box are dissapearing after 4 seconds. This is happening each time I open the mail program. The drafts re-appear when I am saving a new draft, but they are dissapearing in the same way when I restart mail after a quit.
I trashed all my default mboxes.
This won't help. I rebuilded all boxes - this won't help either.
So, any help is very appreciated.
Thanks, Michael
the draft mbox:
tableofcontents 8KB
mbox 4KB
content_index 4KB

Hi Donald,
thanks for your attempts helping me out of this mess.
I checked all my settings.
I created a new account.
The dissapearing won't go away.
From time to time, when switching from inbox to sent box or trash
I am getting a message window:
Das Postfach „~/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Drafts.mbox“ wird zur Zeit von „xxx xxx“ auf dem Server „xxxuserxxx.local“ benutzt. Wenn Sie ein Postfach öffnen, das bereits benutzt wird, beschädigen Sie es möglicherweise.
schreibgeschützt öffnen or beenden or dennoch öffnen
(Sorry, this is German!)
In English it would be something like that:
The Postbox „~/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Drafts.mbox“ is now used by „xxx xxx“ on the server „xxxuserxxx.local“. Opening a postbox which is already open could damage this.
Three options:
protected opening or quit or opening in any case
But I have another partition with a 10.3.9 running (without that sec. updates).
There is mail 1.3.11 (v622) active - it is running normal without any issues.
So I am reckoning that the newer version v622/623 is instable here....
Would it be recommended to delete a few plist files? Which ones.
(it is not a big issue for me to fill out the forms on a restart)
Greetings
Michael

Internal mail can not send. mail stored in draft folder.

Hello all,
I have Exchange server 2010 installled on Win Server 2k8 R2 which is running on VMware workstatione. I installed three server OS (2k8 R2) and that server one is my AD and DNS server. On another two OS, one is for Hub transport and CAS role and
second one is for Mailbox server. In exchange, I am able to configure new mailbox or Database. But through OWA, my mail cant send. User can able to login into server. He can access OWA page as well can access for Address book. But when I send the mail for
internal user, it is stored in draft folder. also meeting schedule can not send. I am testing exchange in lab environment. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you run the Test-ServiceHealth cmdlet to verify if all the Windows services that Exchange server requires have started, especially the Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
If all the services that Exchange server required are started, please use message tracking to trace these undelivered messages and check if there is any error.
Hope it helps.

Mail 4.5 folders are empty after 10.6.8 reinstall.

Hi Guys,
I need advice about Mail 4.5.
I've been obliged to reinstall ALL my data.
On a brand new hard drive, I did a clean DVD install of 10.6.5, and then a clean Software Update install of 10.6.8, in my MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4 MB of RAM.
I have NOT been able to rely upon my Time Machine backups (long story).
Instead, I've been obliged to do a raw copy of all my data from an external hard drive.
Everything seems to be back where it was except Mail 4.5.
Mail launches fine, it can see all my accounts, it can pull down new mail, and I can see all my Mail folders, as evidenced by this screen grab:
The problem is that ALL my Mail folders (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Junk, etc) appear to be empty.
So, for example, the Mail folder called 'Newspapers' shows that it has 20,418 unread messages within it.
However, when I click on the 'Newspapers' folder, I can't see ANY messages, either read or unread.
Instead, I just get a blank white screen.
All my Mail accounts are running on standard POP configs.
No IMAP complexities, or anything like that.
I've installed EXACT copies of these three folders, all of which worked fine before I was forced to reinstall all my data:
- Users/Name/Library/Mail
- Users/Name/Library/Mail Downloads
- Users/Name/Library/Preferences
I've also repaired Permissions in Disk Utility, and pulled restarts.
In view of the fact that Mail can see my messages, but won't show them to me, I'm stumped.
Your wise and kind advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
Best,
Michael T

Hi Softwater,
Thanks for your kind and swift response.
It's not the recent e-mails which I'm worried about.
They can stay on the server until I've resolved my OLD e-mails, 99% of which are long deleted from their servers.
I'm deliberately keeping Mail offline until I've retrieved my 20 year e-mail history, all of which has been put into sub-folders within sub-folders within sub-folders.
I've got to get my e-mail history back.
Thanks.
Best,

Top leven navigation and Tool area dissapear after upgrading SP19

Hi all,
we have upgraded the J2EE engine and the EP to the SP19 and when we enter the Portal, the top level navigation and tool area have dissapear.
It could be some parameter wrong or an error during the upgrading?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Rahul,
See SAP Note: 1002832. These are the details:
<b>Reason and Prerequisites:</b>
The problem is caused by a program error.
This note applies to NW04S SP8 - SP10 and NW04 SP16 - SP19.
<b>Solution:</b>
The problem is fixed with NW04S SP11 and NW04 SP20.
The reason for the problem are missing ACLs that are normally created automatically when roles are imported.
In order to resolve this problem please do the following steps;
1 - Logon to the Portal with user having "super admin" rights.
2 - Replace in URL the "/irj/portal" part with the following /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.admin.acleditor.listPermissions.
This starts a component that lists all permissions in the PCD. It might take some time until it is finished.
3 - Please scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. If there is a botton "fix inner acl", click the button. The missing permissions for the roles will be created. If there is no such button, the permissions are OK. The reason for the symptom is something else then.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Pooja.

Mail app is open and close after sec

When i go to mail i tap the app is open and it is closing in 3 seconds.I can not use mail app at all.Can you help me?I already restore my i phone as the instructions from telephone company support(Vodafone) but the problerm is still exist.I call at Apple support(0080044145417)but this office works from Monday to Friday.

Hi Eric,
the first thing to do is to go under
Hard drive/Users/your home/Library/Mail
and see what you have there.
Unless you had set up your mail program to store what you receive some other place, your e-mails should be there.
Try to Spotlight any file with the extension .emlx
Let me know.

Indesign dissapears after restart

Hello.
After i tried the CS6 beta all my Adobe programs are dissapearing after restart. Registry stays but they dissapear from start menu and wont open up afterwards.
Most of the errors are either : "Please uninstall and reinstall the product " Error: 1
Or that the specific file does not exist.
I have reinstalled it thousands of times already after every restart . I have been keeping my computer in sleep for weeks just not to reinstall it again.
This problem began after CS6 beta didnt want to uninstall itself and i used something called the "Perfect uninstaller" i did not know that adobe had creative suite uninstaller thing then.
All the other programs are fine after restart but the CS ones are dissapearing from start menu and refuse to start up from their program direction.
I can evade Error 1 with administrator mode (after restart) but i cannot have the drag drop function. Which is crutial to my workflow.
PC Specs:
Windows 7 home premium
Asus Notebook N73SV
Intel Core I7-2670QM
Ram 8gb
Nvidia Geforce GT540M

And in future, NEVER run beta software on a mission critical machine. You need to be prepared to completely rebuild any machine that you use for testing, and one really good method is to make a disk image of some known good state that you can restore if necessary so you don't have to go through the hassle of reinstalling the the OS and all the apps, but it's still a pain.
You might, if the cleaner tool fails, try using Windows System Restore to go back to a point before you installed the beta software, but the odds of that working after everything else are probably not better than 50-50.

Hello Brian Delaney,
It sounds like you are trying to send emails but for some reason, thousands show activity. I would start by re indexing the mailbox to help troubleshoot the issue:
1.Quit Mail if it’s open.
2.In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
3.Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
If the issue persists, I would next remove the account, restart the computer, and re add the account:
1.Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
2.Select an account, then click Remove.
Mail (Mavericks): Remove mail accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14944
Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
To add the account again, click the rather than the as described above and retest the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Joe

Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

The only thing I can think of is to set the number of days to sync messages, shown below. But I'm not sure if this is what you're after. If it is go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the email account you wish to change.
This will then only sync emails from the last week for example. In the screenshot all email messages would be synced to the iPhone.

ICloud e-mail - stored drafts

First post so go easy please!
I've cleared all the e-mails on my iCloud account on my iPhone5, but when I use the search mechanism it shows there are e-mails effectively stored as drafts, and I don't understand where these are? I want to delete everything as I'm sending off my phone for recycling.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

This is normal auto-completion. You can stop it for this person by going to to menu Window>Previous recipients and locating their name in the list and removing it.
I can't answer as to the other issue - I just tested it with my account and it worked as expected.

My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

Hi, I had this same problem. I have a load of work subfolders and was showing the message header but no content. I think it lost the link to the original messages.
There may be a simpler way but I fixed it by going to the mail folders in finder. I took the following steps:
Go to user library (hold down the alt key whilst clicking the Go menu in finder to access user library)
Go to user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes. You should be able to see your mailboxes and your original messages (ending .emlx) after clicking down the hierachy in each mailbox. For some reason mail added a "-2" onto the end of each mailbox which I think has caused the problem.
Copy each required mailbox (.mbox) onto desktop. I removed the "-2" at this stage to clean things up.
In Mail, choose File/Import Mailboxes....
Import data from: Apple Mail. Click continue, navigate to desktop and choose the relevant .mbox folders. Click Choose.
It should then import the mail to a new folder called import in mail. You can then rename that folder or move the subfolders out.
I moved the .mbox folders on my desktop to my documents folder as a backup just in case. I then deleted the problem mailboxes from the finders mailboxes folder.
Problem solved - for me anyway!!
Hope this helps.

Mailboxes are empty after upgrade to 10.5.6

I just upgraded from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.6, and after the installation the Mac has rebooted into the new OS. That was just a few minutes ago, and looking things over, all appears to be as before, and the applications launch and work, except for Mail.
In Mail, all my mailboxes are there, but there is nothing in them. Furthermore, I sent myself a test message, and Mail does not bring it in. Nor is the sent message shown in the Sent mailbox.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here? Where are all the stored messages that are supposed to be in my mailboxes, and why am I no longer able to send or receive messages?
Any help most appreciated.
Tom

I've encountered this problem on the last three upgrades from Tiger (10.4.11) to Leopard (10.5.6). I've done three different upgrade paths (simple upgrade, clean install, erase/install and migrate) and in all three cases, the Mail problem is exactly the same. When Mail launches, it says the Mail files need to be updated (or something similar), I say OK, and after a few minutes it reports that Mail is ready to use, I say OK and mail opens to a few generic mailboxes with nothing in them. All the mail seems to be gone. Mail hangs and I have to force quit. I can't send or receive mail.
Here is what I have learned and what I recommend. If you are reading this after you've encountered the problem, described skip to step 3. If you haven't yet done the upgrade start at the beginning.
By way of preview for the steps below; basically, you will document your current settings, then create a new, empty mail system. Then you will import your mail and reconstruct your mailbox structure. The steps below will guide you through this process.
1. Before you upgrade, document all of your email settings for login and password, server settings for sending and receiving mail. Also document the arrangement of all of your mailboxes. I recommend making screenshots (cmd-shift-4 followed by spacebar then mouse-click to capture an image of the window). Do this for all relevant views of your mailboxes, so you can see what you want your mailbox structure to look like after you are done. The pictures will probably land on your desktop and be named Picture 1, Picture 2 etc.
2. Upgrade your OS normally, do all of your software updates etc, but DON'T LAUNCH MAIL YET!
3. If Mail is running, make it stop. Trash the file; /Users/(yourusername here)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
4. Move the folder; /Users/(yourusername here)/Library/Mail to the desktop. This is where all of your email is. DO NOT TRASH THIS FOLDER!
5. Take the computer off the network. You don't want it to check your mail just yet. Either turn off your Airport, or disconnect your Ethernet cable, or both.
6. Launch Mail. It will ask you to configure it for the first time. Since it is not on the network, you will need to configure it manually, using the settings you documented in step 1. Don't let it configure itself, because it is not on the network and will not be able to find any servers.
7. After mail is configured, you can bring the machine back onto the network and confirm that your mail settings work. Undo whatever you did in Step 5.
8. Import your old mail into the new mail settings by choosing File>Import Mailboxes. Point the import step to the Mail folder on your desktop that you moved in step 4. NOTE: If you open the Activity Viewer under the Window menu > Activity, it will let you watch the subsequent processes, which can take a long time under some circumstances. Especially if you have a lot of mail, or if you are on a slow computer.
9. After the mail is imported, it will be in a folder called something like Imported Mail.
10. Recreate your original mailbox structure by dragging the mail files (you can select multiple messages) from the folder in the imported mail to the place you want it, or originally had it. This is where the screenshots from Step 1 comes in handy. Drag mail from your imported inbox to the new inbox, etc.
Some mailboxes will not exist yet. If you don't have a "drafts" folder, for example, create a new message (to anyone - it doesn't even have to be a real address) and save it as a draft. This will create a drafts mailbox and you can then drag mail from your imported drafts to the newly created drafts mailbox. If there is no Trash mailbox, create a new message and then delete it, this will create a Trash mailbox. You can create some of the mailboxes from the Mailbox menu > Go To and choose the mailbox you want. For example, to create the trash folder. Go to Mailboxes->Go To->Trash (or command-5) and that will create a trash folder.
You may need to recreate your rules/filters. You are on your own there. Maybe document them in step 1 along with the other documentation you make of your previous setup.
This is a big problem for a lot of people. I've seen it enough to have figured it out and I documented the steps for fixing it. I hope this helps.
