Mammoth printing snafu with Tiger Mail Program/OS 10.4.4

Problem: My HP 2250tn Inkjet printer--which is connected to my G4 computer through AppleTalk--is unable to print...
DRUMROLL, PLEASE...
*99.9 percent* of my text-only email messages, whether they're incoming, outgoing, or in the drafts or sent folder. By contrast, that same printer has no problem printing Microsoft Word documents, Quicken reports or Stickies.
Taking the following actions has not solved my printing problem: (1) installed the latest printer driver; (2) reinstalled the HP software: (3) completed HP's printing set-up assistant program; (3) copied and pasted the text from one of my email messages into a Microsoft Word document to see if my printer was able to print from Microsoft Word, and, sure enough, the document printed without a hitch...proof positive that the driver's working properly and is not locked up.
Additional insight, FWIW: Just got off the phone with a technical expert from the Macintosh group for Business Inkjets at HP, and he said it's not HP's problem. He said I can't print any email messages from my HP 2250tn Inkjet printer because "Tiger's email program is not sending data to the printer, even though the driver is still accepting jobs and sending jobs."
In short, the printer driver goes through all the correct handshaking protocols--e.g., "Starting Job," "Sending Data," "Printing"--BUT THEN QUICKLY CHANGES TO "No Job printing." In the "Completed Jobs" window, the printer says it's finished printing, even though nothing's printed!!! So I end up having to clear the unprinted jobs that just keep stacking up in the Completed Jobs window. Exasperating? Yes.
It appears this is a problem that only OS 10.4.4/Tiger Mail Program experts can find a work-around for.

Thanks for attempting to shed some light on the situation, but the printer problem hasn't gone away, even after optimizing my hard disk with DiskWarrior and Disk Utility.

Nothing will print. My printer works with every other program, but not this one!

Nothing will print. My printer works with every other program, but not this one!

I see the printer, in blue when I click on the hardware tab. Actually there are 2 things listed that have to do with the printer.
The first one is called:
HP Photosmart Prem C410 series (DOT4PRIN.... and under the Type it is listed as IEEE1284.4...
The next is listed as:
HP Phototsmart Prem C410 series and under the Type heading it says Printers.
I don't know which one to pick. So when I choose the name highlighted in blue, what do I do to change the name?

Yahoo email and tiger mail program

Can I use the mail program that is on Tiger with my yahoo email account? how do I set it up?

yes, you need a premium account to set up POP3 on yahoo USA. Yahoo Singapore is the nice one, and free...
don't forget to setup the POP3 configuration on the "mail option"
--> log in to yahoo mail (singapore) with iE or Safari, after login, then chose "option" --> "POP Access and Forwarding"...
hope it help...
cheers,

How do I sync comcast email with the mail program on my iPhone and iMac

I have two email accounts set up on my iPhone. One is my gmail account which I use for work. The other is the comcast email, my default home email address. The comcast account doesn't sync iPhone, web mail, or the mail program on my iMac at home. My gmail account does. For instance, I send an email from my phone it shows up in the sent box when I go to the mail web page on my work and home computer. With comcast, if I send an email from my phone it stays on my phone. I have to bcc or cc to myself if I want the sent message to show up on the home computer or on the mail web page.

Unfortunately that is really the only work around since
Comcast uses POP3 and not IMAP like Gmail or
iCloud.
I had received an email quite some time ago that they
were beta testing IMAP with select customers but I doubt
if it has gone much further than that.

I think a firewall is interfering with my mail program - I can receive but not send. Please help!

I think Firefox may have installed a firewall that is interfering with my email program - I can receive but not send mail.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Firefox updated with ALOT

Firefox does not install a firewall.

Integration of Panther Mail With Tiger Mail

After having several problems with Tiger when it first came out, I returned to Panther for the last several months. I wanted to give Tiger another whirl, so I reinstalled (erase and install) it on a second partition a couple of weeks ago. One problem that appeared immediately was that all my messages in Mail did not migrate over. I'm using the same user account, so I don't understand why all my messages did not migrate over properly. It appears that all recent messages appeared (probably because they were still on the email server). Some old messages from the last 3-5 years came through, but it seems that most of my older messages didn't.
I have one partition (Secondary) with Panther on it. I erased and installed Tiger on another partition (Primary). During the migration process when I first started up after installing Tiger, it asks you what items you want to migrate. I checked every box (can't recall specifically what they were). I believe the purpose of the migration process is to get you back up and running with the least amount of fuss when upgrading the system. In this case, it appears that every user defined setting/preference migrated OK with the exception of all my Mail messages (the mailboxes migrated successfully but not the messages themselves).
If I boot back up in Panther, all my older messages are still intact. So I'm confused why all my messages didn't migrate over since they are in my User's Library folder and should be essentially identical to how Mail appeared/acted in Panther (except I'm using a new version of Mail in an upgraded System). And despite the exact reason WHY this happened (helpful in preventing this from happening during my next upgrade), the more important queston is how do I get all my messages to appear in Tiger Mail (so that I can leave Panther behind permanently)? Obviously they are on my hard disk somewhere if Panther Mail can read them when starting up in Panther.

What does "I returned to Panther" mean here? What exactly did you do to "return to Panther" the first time you tried Tiger?

Having Problems with my mail Program

I am having Problems with my email account. I am still on OS snow Leopard and just recently ordered the Newer Mac mini with Lion.
I use to have the Mobile Me account, since I haven't switched over to iCloud yet, I still have the Mobile Me account set up in my email account and still have the Mobile Me idisk on my desktop.I also have my other local isp email account in my mail program. Just now I am getting a email problem from my other email account, I am getting my email but I get a pop up window that request my password from my other email account and at the top of the side bar where the mail icons are on the left side there is a "A" with a Circle around it next to my mail icon or sometimes a " ~ " (Tilda) next to the mail icon. I tried to contact my ISP to ask them if they were having propblems at their end but they didn't get back to me, they usually do get back to me.
Since I have the Mobile Me email account un active, am wondering if the mobile me account is effecting my other active email? am also wondering if the computer still thinks that the Mobile me email account is still active and is trying to get mail through my other active email account?
Does someone have any soloutions for me? or can someone Please help me? cause this is very fustrating cause that Password wondow keeps popping up and I can not turn it off from popping up unless I completly quit the mail program but if I restart it or reopen it up, it starts all over again.
Please someone Help me if you know what is going on here?
Thank You,
Mrs. Trisha Foster

you might try to look for the VACUUM command (do a google search on: mail.app vacuum).
The ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index file is a SQLite database. it does slow down as things are added and deleted. You can also find people who suggest deleting (or moving this file to the desktop or somewhere else) after quitting MAIL and then restarting MAIL... it will tell you it needs to import all your mail... it SHOULD find all the mail and rebuild the "Envelope Index" file. You can try it.

Problem with corrupted Mail program

This all started because my battery is so weak at this point that if I unplug for more than a few minutes, the system just blinks off....which is exactly what happened while the Mail program was doing something important. When I rebooted, my mail program was completely corrupted.
Now it hangs while checking mail and registers up to 24 new e-mails, but shows none of them, or simply fetches the same e-mail over and over again in each folder. Then it freezes up while the progress whirlygig thing goes around and around...even if I take a mailbox off-line it seems to do this same thing.
I disabled some of the mailboxes and found that this erased the content of all my e-mails in each folder that was disabled.
Meanwhile, it will actually send mail perfectly well.
If I remember correctly, reinstalling my system software will not fix this problem, unless there's something I don't know about. (These days there are many of those things.) Is there a preferences folder I can trash or something I can do to fix my mail program, while hopefully saving my past e-mails (I can dream, can't I?)? Suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks so much!
Jennifer

Golden Shoes:
Thanks for the quick response.
I have a POP account. Several.
Also, I don't run the computer without the AC. It was being moved from a desk to a table when it shut down suddenly before I could reattach the cable.
Would the mail preferences be located in the user folder? I tried getting rid of them and still had the same problem. I'm worried about tossing something global out when I shouldn't.
Finally, if you don't mind, snark never solved a problem. I'm sure you have nothing to prove and if you do, I don't need to know. I simply had a question since I am new to this operating system.

Why did I get a "You Have Missed a Print" message with Daily Mail Printer Edition?

You will miss a scheduled print if your computer is turned off or not connected to the Internet, or if you are logged out. When you see the “You have missed a print” message, you can click Print to print now, or Skip.
You can set Daily Mail Printer Edition to automatically do the same thing every time you miss a print.
Open Daily Mail Printer Edition.
Click the wrench icon () to open theSettings dialog.
If you want missed items to print immediately when you log in, select Automatically. If you want to be asked before an item is printed, select When Prompted. If you always want to skip missed items, select Never.

Send email with native mail program

Hi!
I am writing a web application emails are auromatically prepared for the user to send. The catch is that I need to either send the mail using the clients native email application or find a way of adding the sent mail to the sent items folder of the native mail program. I have spent quite some time researching this. Am I trying to do the impossible?

}

You need to be identified by stmp server :
// Send message with authentication!
Transport tr = session.getTransport("smtp");
tr.connect(MailHost, user, pass);
message.saveChanges(); // don't forget this
tr.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
tr.close();
Read JavaMail Faq please!

Snow Leopard Mail Backwards Compatible with Tiger Mail?

I need to revert fro working on a MPB Late 2010 running 10.6.3 to a PowerBook G4 running Tiger 10.4.11.
Can I do a Mail backup in Osx 10.6.3 on the MBP and then copy that backup to my PBG4 with Osx 10.4.11 and then open all the mailboxes in the older version of Mail?
This is why: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2527206&tstart=0
Hope the question makes sense.
Christo

I don't believe that this is possible. I seem to recall that Mail had to update the file formats (which ones? I dunno) when I upgraded to SL, so I imagine Tiger won't recognize them fully.

Printer problem with Tiger in Core Duo Mac

Having problem with HP Deskjet 5650 using this setup.
1)Prints extremly slowly - maybe 3 minutes a page of print.
2)Prints color when set for black.
The cartridge is o.k. in an other mac with Panther. I have installed the most recent printer driver.
Anyone else seeing this problem?

I got an tip of a friend: It was Bug in Mac OS 10.6.7. Here the to resolve the problem for all they want not wait the bugfix of apple (on your own risk, but it helped me):
