Major Danger Mac Mail FLAW.. HELP

I've posted a problem before that was serious and only fixed with a rebuild of an index whereby the incorrect email text body was included in a forward.
I now have a recording of what I think is another MAJOR flaw and I want to know if I'm right. I recorded it for proof. Basically. I select an email with the left click of the mouse so it's select. I then right click on an email 2 rows down and right click REPLY. The reply recipient is correct, from the 2nd select, but the body of the text is from the 1st email. It doesn't always do it, but if you click the mail on the first row, and right click and reply to the email on the 2nd row, you should see the FLAW.
HELP.. Anyone else seeing this. I could post the recording but would like to send to APPLE..

I got on a call with Apple last night and they tried to reproduce it on a new user account on my box. We only had 30 emails in the test and could not reproduce. They want me to reset from the Original Snow disks and didn't care that others, including someone in my office had the problem.
I'm stuck until others try it and report it. SInce it doesn't do it on ALL messages, if there's anyone out there willing to test, I'd be grateful. Here's what seems to replicate most;
1. Sort inbox by date.
2. CLick (left) on an email in the list
3. Right click on ANOTHER email in the list and scroll on them menu that pops up to select REPLY.
If the problem occurs, you will see..
The correct TO address (selected from the right click in 3) and at the top of the message in the body, you will also the correct details of what you are replying to. HOWEVER, the body of the text reply WILL be the text from the email you first clicked in 2.
Whether this is because I have a lot of emails in my inbox, I don't know but it happens on mine and one other colleagues machine and does NOT happen in the 10.5.4 release that we can tell anyway.
Cheers.

  • Mac Mail/MobileMe Help Plz!!

    Hi everyone.
    I've been a MobileMe user since 2008, and have had my email configured through MobileMe with all of my other email accounts directing to MobileMe since early 2009 using Mac Mail Application on OSX.
    Recently, about 2 weeks ago, when I send email using Mac Mail Application, they do not receive it, however, when I send it using the MobileMe web server, they receive it.
    The mail appears to send perfectly, with no error messages, no problems, and it appears in the sent folder, but the person I am trying to send it to, never receives it!!
    Very annoying!! this ONLY just started happening about two weeks ago!!
    I have Mac Mail configured MobileMe as POP3, have tried other configurations, same thing.
    Is it the mail application? do I need to do a scrub and blow? reformat/reinstall or what?
    I have tried contacting support, and they forwarded me to Tier 2, and then to the MobileMe "Engineers" but, no response so far and that was a week ago.
    What I was hoping is maybe someone from the forums might be able to shed some light on this for me, as I REALLY NEED full email functionality for my job, and considering this is a pay-per service, I think it's terrible what's going on.
    Someone out there?? any ideas??!

    Greetings,
    If it has been awhile waiting for a response from support you might want to contact them again to see if they have a status update. If the case went to an engineer that suggests it might be something server side, in which case nothing you do is going to make a difference. But that answer should come from support.
    That said a few questions / suggestions for you:
    1.) Why are you using POP rather than IMAP? MobileMe is primarily an IMAP based service (although they offer POP access, IMAP is the recommended method of connecting).
    __Consider disabling your MobileMe account under POP and adding it as IMAP
    _Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account
    _Click the plus sign and add MobileMe as IMAP
    2.) Try using MobileMe in Mail in a new user account on your computer:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh168.html
    __This will help determine if the issue with the Mail application.

  • Returning when I press apostrophe key in Mac Mail. HELP!!! Before I lose my mind!

    When I press the apostrophe key in Mac Mail, the cursor returns to the line below. I realize that RETURN and ' are next to each other so some may say something is stuck in my keyboard. I normally would agree, however, this problem is only happening in Mac Mail. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    No, you won't. Back it up anyway; you may want to use a program such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to create a bootable clone on another drive.

  • Mac Mail Return Help

    Can someone please explain to me what I can do to bring my MacMail back and functioning? I will only say that when I click on the icon I get this:
    **You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of MAC OS X**
    If you want more details please see my other post. Thanks.

    It means you have an older version of Mail that's not compatible with the version of OS X that is installed. If you are running 10.5.8 as your profile states, then download and install the 10.5.8 Combo Updater. That should solve your problem.
    Be sure the version of Mail you have is in the Applications folder.

  • Mac Mail can't resolve Office 365 address adding account

    I'm just putting this out there, I'm sure it will be addressed soon.
    Just loaded up a VM or Yosemite on my Macbook Pro so I can start testing it for our network environment.  First major glitch - Mac Mail will not resolve an Office 365 email address and allow you to add the account to Mac Mail.  This is huge considering many of our clients are hosted using Office 365 for their corporate email.  Mavericks never had issues with this, hoping its a quick fix without the need of a work around.  Ironically using Outlook for Mac 2011 works just fine, which is pretty strange to me considering it still has to resolve outlook.office365.com for the server names in autodiscovery.
    Lets go Apple....this OS looks great, don't make it your MSFT Vista!

    Mavericks Mail has had problems with Exchange. Many have been resolved but at this time, Outlook for Mac is a better Exchange client than Mail from reports that I have seen.
    I'm trying a trial of Rackspace Exchange Email wondering if its Office 365 specific.
    How are you pointing your MX & cname setting to two different services?
    You said another user was able to setup. Is there any difference in OSX and email client. Compare settings.
    What error are you getting.

  • Mac Mail Doesn't Archive On To Mac

    Hi Mac-World,
    I'm currently using Maverick and I've hit my iCloud storage limit so need to either delete or archive my emails.
    I've set up my folder to save onto my Mac hard drive, but everytime I drag/move my emails to the new folder, they disappear but don't end up moving into the assigned folder.
    I then click onto my main inbox again, and the emails have returned.
    I'm not sure if it's an issue with Maverick, my Mail App, or my whole iCloud is screwed, but it's forced me to set up a temporary gmail account, which is frustrating!
    Also, this issue has nothing to do with Gmail, as I've read about the Gmail/Maverick problems...
    Can someone help?? Should a simple detete and re-download of the Mac Mail App help?
    Thanks!

    Did you create a new On My Mac mailbox in the Mail app, then drag the email from the iCloud account to your new mailbox?  Follow the instructions in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5767.  Also, you may need to move a few hundred messages at a time; trying to move too many at once can sometimes cause it to hang.

  • Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • Hi there, suddenly I can't send email from my iphone. I use mac mail, have deleted it, restored it, done a sync to my mac book, read endless help paged and still get the message *unable to connect to smtp.me.mail . Some one please help!!!

    Does anyone know why my mac/me mail would suddenly stop sending mail? Happend a few weeks back since the software update and now won't send a thing. LIke I said I deleted the acount, set it up again, did a sync to my mac book, checked settings again and still it wont send mail. Received fine.
    I've looked through the threads but cant find one for me/mac mail on the iphone with same problem

    I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
    As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
    Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

  • I can no longer use my aol on mac mail. When I set up the aol account name and password I get a message that says "Unable to verify account name or password". This is on all my Apple devices. Seems like an AOL server issue but no help from them!

    I can no longer make my AOL e mail work with Mac Mail on all my devices. When I try to set up the account and put in the correct aol account and password I get the message "Unable to verify account name or password". I know the account name and password is correct as I can open the AOL e mail page on Safari. I have changed the password, and it still does not work. AOL tech support has been no help. AOL email worked for years but last week due to suspected spam activity AOL locked my AOL account. I got that straightened out but now i cannot set it up on any of my devices: Macbook Air, Ipad, I pad mini and iPhone 6 without that message. I took everything to Apple store and everything is set up correctly on my devices. AOL tech support is no help and keeps giving me different solutions and answers, none of which has worked. Any solutions out there? All my Apple Software is up to date on all my devices

    Delete your Gmail account from the Mail/Contacts/Calendars settings page, and then add it back in using the new Gmail password.

  • I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

    I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
    "Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

    Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look. 

  • Help, I set up AOL on my Mac Mail Application, now the mail is gone on AOL.

    Howdy there fellow Mac supporters I was lucky enough to get some help setting up an IMAP account on my i-macs Mail Application today from this forum's wisdom and it worked fine.
    Now, come to find out, all the mail is now on my i-mac but is no longer on AOL. Can I return it to it's AOL home? Can't the INBOUND mail reside in both places? They do with my .mac account.
    Please help, this is more for my wife that uses another mac in the house and doesn't have the mail application set up on that computer, she uses AOL, go figure....

    Hey Ernie,
    I am sorry about the delay. Not only did I have to rush to Eagle Rock and pick up one of LA's premier pizza's for my family but I wanted to give your suggestion some thought time.
    I changed the set up in Preferences->imap.cs.com and it didn't make any noticable difference so I left it changed.
    What I did do, is go to AOL and check the 'Old' email and selected it as KEEP AS NEW...what happened is all the old/saved mail was returned to the AOL 'inbox' and turned from read mail on the imail application to new mail, hence returned from the dead.
    Thanks for the time and effort in getting me a response and giving me some direction. Your a great asset to us floundering mac lovers that get lost or confused along the way.
    Have a great weekend. I hope we 'meet' again because you are a great mac genius to know.
    Regards.
    Eric

  • I lost all email 6months and older in mac mail. Need Serious Help!

    I lost all email 6 months and older in mac mail. In my in-box as a well as all other folders I created. I expected that the mac email software would keep all email as it did for me in when I used to use Outlook. As well I thought I was covered with the Time Machine I have installed. Well.....The Time Machine that I was aggressively encouraged to buy apparently doesn't back up email. If it does, I must need some secret decoder ring to unlock where it is. I need serious help. I lost months of professional and personal data. I need to fix this immediately and find some way to get my email back. Please help.

    In March when I upgraded to Lion and iCloud I also experienced a similar problem (cluster of problems) which was solved by a password reset (conforming to new requirements) for my Apple ID. I'm glad to see that many nice people contributed and your primary problem is fixed.  My comment is on your Quicken problem.
    Your data inside Quicken 2004 is on borrowed time.  In the process of researching personal budgeting apps I found many reports on the web that indicate Intuit as a company is scaling down Quicken (desktop) development and its future attention to the Mac platform will be minimal.
    Did you know that Intuit is behind Mint.com?  You may be hesitant to put your financial data "in the cloud" and I may be being sheepish, but.. bbaaaa, bbaaaaa, the cloud is where it's going.  I know first-hand want a pain in the arse it is to customize an app to your liking.  I spent several hours on Mint.com setting up categories and tagging transactions.  It's tedious. I didn't look because I wasn't a Quicken user, but perhaps Intuit was nice enough to provide a data conversion path for Mint.com.  It is worth a look.
    My second suggestion is to scour the web for a hack solution.  You can't be the only person who is facing this problem.  Quicken was very popular.  I just bet someone has posted directions or some code for exporting the Quicken 2004 data and manipulating it for something else.
    Good Luck.
