Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem. I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail. I did the conversion while running Yosemite. I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!! The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space. The message begins at the top of p.2.
If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message. Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message.
Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem?? I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message. So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired. Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!! Anyone else made any progress on this?

My Epson photo 1280 will only print 1/2 of a page from a document in Pages program. First print was fine. Have printed out a Mac templet and printer does same thing. Cleaned heads, checked nozzels etc. Any ideas?

Hello, I have exactly the same problem. I could have written the same text. And I have'nt found solutions. Except, perhaps, change this printer (and quit HP?).
Any suggestions would be really much appreciated.
Thank you for your possible responses.

In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

I attached a .doc file to the message and it appeared as an icon, so I did not have to convert it. I attached a .jpg image — it appeared as a full image, but when I Command+clicked the image, the view as icon window did not appear on the screen. Likewise, I again checked the Mail Menu Bar, and did see 'View as icon.' Side note: I routinely use Mavericks Mail in Classic Mode, so I decided to try both modes. Same results in both modes. I checked my Mail Preferences, but couldn't find anything there, either. I'll continue to look around, but this has me stumped. Thanks for your assistance.

How do I fix Maverick Mail printing smaller font?

I just upgraded to a new MacBook Pro with Retina screen running Mavericks 10.9.1. Restored my stuff from Time Machine Backup of my old MacBook.
I discovered that Maverick Mail is printing all emails in smaller size than what they are written. 12 point Helvita looks like 8 point, or less, when printed from the Maverick Mail on a laser printer, also connected to my wife's iMac. Printing the same emails from the iMac, running Lion, prints in accurate 12 point size. I have printed other documents from my Mavericks MacBook, i.e. PDF's that I created on the old MacBook. Those documents print in original size. So, problem is with Maverick Mail.
For some reason, Mail is reducing the print size of the emails, no matter if the email is going to the printer or printed to a PDF file. The font size is reduced.
I have seen that others have had a similar problem with Maverick Mail.
Has anyone found a fix? Or do we have to wait for the Apple geniuses to get around to findiing their mistakes in Mail?

Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your screen.

Mavericks Mail Print dialog hangs?

Several times when I try to print an email messsage, the Mail Print dialog appears, complete with preview which looks fine.
The cancel, print, pdf, printer and presets buttons are responsive, but neither Print nor Cancel do anything other than flash to ack the click, and the print form remains pinned as the topmost window whenever Mail is active.
I'm printing three page message to a Xerox Phaser6360DN, and have been able to print a lot of mail and other docs since upgrading to Mavericks a few days ago.
Any ideas of what's wrong / how to fix?
Any suggestions for killing the pinned Print dialog without doing a Mail Force Quit?

John - Thanks for the suggestions. Next time I'll try changing printers / using PDF menu actions rather than just testing their pull down reasponse.
I didn't see anything terriblely helpful in /Utlities/Console, but will look again and try your suggestions if/when it happens again.
I needed to get Mail working and recovered with a force quit...

Mavericks Mail Inexplicably Stops Retrieving Email

It doesn't matter if I set the preferences to check automatically, every 1 minute, every 5 minutes, etc. Mail just stops retrieving, and even more aggravating is the fact that the Activity monitor runs at the specified interval, implying that my mail is being checked. And yet, if not for checking my email on my iPhone, I'd think everything was fine, it's just a particularly slow day. When I see that in fact I've gotten a number of emails, I check my Mavericks Mail manually, and still nothing comes in. It's only upon deactivating all my accounts and then reactivating, or quitting the app and then restarting that I get all the mail I've already gotten on my iPhone. This is pretty infuriating, as I get caught up in my work and forget that my Mac Mail is "moody."
I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 and Mail 7.3.

You may be affected by the bug, but this is the first time I've heard that it affects some accounts and not others.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Set up one of the affected accounts while logged in as Guest. Test. Don't open any messages. Just see whether they're retrieved.
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Mail app problems (duplicating email downloads)

in my Mail app, i am having a problem with receiving "duplicate" emails. i will get an email, and after in downloads to Mail, the "spinning circle" (next to the INBOX icon) keeps on spinning...then a duplicate of the email downloads. to stop the "spinning circle". i have to "force quit" Mail.
i have the option with Road Runner to get emails from their "WebMail" website. when i log-in, i see the email that is duplicating in Mail...plus other emails that has not been downloaded in my Mail application.
if i delete the "duplicating email" in RR Webmail, and launch Mail again, the "other emails" that i see in RR WebMail will download.
and if there are other new emails, the whole scenario will go over again in Mail.
i talked to a Road Runner technician and he tried to find a preference in the Mail app that will allow Mail to give a bit more time for Mail to download emails with larger attachments (2mb and up). he said that Mail is not giving enough time to download the larger emails, so it is "bottlenecking" the large email and other emails after that.
Just wondering if anyone knows about this problem, or if anyone knows if there is a preference in Mail to "extend" the download time for larger-sized emails......
thank you....

I am having this same problem. How did you solve it?

Mavericks Mail not working properly with Exchange server after upgrade from Lion

Mail will no longer maintain a stable connection to my company's Exchange server after upgrading to Mavericks from Lion. Nothing has been changed on the Exchange server. It has only partially downloaded the messages that are on the server. It seems to download current messages when they hit the server. It has difficulty sending messages. When I send a message, it gets stuck in the Outbox. It is constantly losing the connection to the server. The problem is only occuring with Exchange email. My iCloud email works properly as well as a POP3 account.

When I print a greeting card, it comes out as 2 separate pages and not afolding card--why?d

When I try to print out a greeting card, it comes out as 2 separate sheets and not as a card that opens when unfolded. Where am I going wrong? Thanks. Mac

Actually you can't. When you print directly from iPhoto you will need to print to a 8 x 10 borderless paper size. That will produce the card with a white border on each size which can be trimmed off after printing. This screen shot shows how the card will print on 8" x 10" stock:
Click to view full size
This is because the stock size for the card is 10 x 7 and no printer supports 10 x 7 borderless printing. These two tutorials describes how to print the card if you have a 3rd party image editor that can handle layers or have Pages from iWork: #8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card and #8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes.

Mail Printing emails tiny!!

Sometimes i print to our office GP605600605 Cannon printer, and they print tiny in top left hand on A4. This is useless when clients send back corrections etc.
Mail is the only program that does this. Anyone know why?

My apologies, my fault, new system giving me a 'senior moment' I've solved the problem. I've highlighted the mail I want to print and right clicked and then left clicked on print and it has worked OK.

Has Yosemite corrected Mavericks' Mail/Contacts problem with Groups?

After I switched from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I found that I could no longer list a Contact Group name in the To block of an email without all of the addresses in the group showing, despite having Mail Preferences set so that all of the addresses wouldn't show. The work-around for this problem is having to put Contact Group names in the Blind Copy section of an email. Does anyone know if Yosemite has corrected this problem?
Thanks,
Bob W.

Thanks Barney. I assumed that Yosemite hadn't corrected the problem.
However, I'm not sure where you got the information that the "BCC" section on Mail email forms was designed to be used for "Group" addresses from Mac's Address Book (now Contacts). The "BCC" section of the email form was designed to be used by email composers who wanted copies of their emails to go to addresses that they wanted to keep hidden from those whose addresses appeared in the "To" section of the email.
The "Group" address feature in Contacts were created to allow email senders the option to send emails to large numbers of addressees that had something in common (such as a group of relatives of the sender, or in my case, members of a club), so that you didn't have to type in large numbers of addresses in the "To" window every time you wanted to send to such a group. At the same time, it kept the addresses hidden from all of those who received the email as well as from spammers.
Mac also gives (or did give) you the option to have the addresses in the Group in the "To" window to show or not to show. Go to "Preferences-Composing" section in Mail and you'll see that under the "Addressing" heading, you're given the option "When sending to a group, show all member addresses." Since that option is normally unchecked, the default is to not have the addresses show. Unless you opt to allow the addresses to show, only the name that you've given the Group shows in the "To" window of the email.
If the Group addresses in Contacts were designed to be placed in the "BCC" section of an email, there would be no purpose in having that Preference option available in Mail Preferences. The problem with having to use the "BCC" section of the email for Group addresses is that many email server companies assume that high numbers of addresses showing in the "BCC" section of an email is an indicator that the email is coming from a spammer, so the use of "BCC" for large numbers of email addresses can cause problems. The use of "Group" address names in the "To" window avoids those problems.

Mavericks mail group problems

When I address an email to a Contacts group and hit Return, Mail lists the whole group correctly in most instances. However, for random groups, It lists members multiple times (same email address each time.) The group itself lists members correctly. I have tried turning Mail off and on, turning the computer off then on, and deleting the group and recreating it member by member, but get the same results. In one case, the problem just resolved itself without my doing anything I can remember, but just that once, and with a different Group than is now malfunctining. Any ideas?

FYI The upcoming 10.9.2 update to OS X Mavericks (since beta 3 build 13C44 that is available to developers now!) seems to fix the mail re-indexing issue for a few of us;

Mavericks Mail has a bug: emails refresh and I loose current email.

Many times, when reading emails in mail in the mornings, I loose my email from the unread smartbox where I was reading it. The problem I found is that Mail refreshes after getting more email and after refresh, the email I was reading does no longer meet the unread condition of my smartbox. It is extremely annoying.
Is anyone experiencing similar problems caused by mail's refresh?
Apple, please fix this!
Most people recommended to access gmail directly online. But I manage multiple emails in my mail (gmail would be messy)...
ideas?

Ok, well, the good news is that only 2 people on earth have had this problem. The other good news is that I have narrowed the culprit down to Keychain which was causing mail to refresh every 60 seconds. Hopefully this will save someone else many, many hours of greif should they come across the same issue.
Turning off keychain under iCloud settings fixes the problem immediately. Turning it back on brings the problem back immediately. I would still like to use Keychain across my devices so I've tried the Repair option in Keychain First-Aid under the Keychain menu. I have applied this on both my air and iMac (as doing it on one didn't fix it on the other) and restarted both machines. First-aid did find and fix a couple of Keychain issues. Will know whitin a week whether that was the correct fix or not as it can take anywhere from 5 hours to 5 days for the issue to reappear after a restart.

Mavericks Mail Mouse Problem

Since updating to Mavericks, my mouse doesn't scroll in Mail. It scrolls just fine in everything else I use, but in Mail, it just sticks. At first, it would scroll a little bit, then stop. Now it doesn't move at all, and I have to use the Page Up and Down buttons on my keyboard to navigate threads. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
Feedback
Try deleting the mouse.plists.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist.Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Do I need Mavericks Mail setup to send emails through website forms?

I'm not sure where to start but I believe I may have 2 separate questions.
I have a Mac Server ( Mavericks ) for my websites on a dedicated IP. I do not need the email as I have another email server on a second IP locally.
I want to be able to email form submissions from the the websites. I know how to write the form / script to make it work, but I'm unsure how or even if I need to set up the server a specific way to make this happen as this part is new for me. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Secondly, I've also noticed in my mail logs that emails are sent out from [email protected] to random emails. I think what's happening is my wordpress client ( whom is using her yahoo address for posting notifications ) is actually receiving system emails for the posts and a copy of the post is also being sent out to the poster. It's all spam posts mind you. I turned off the notification setting in wordpress and I am still seeing emails coming through. I mention this as fixing question 1 may address this issue.
Sorry if this is confusing and thank you in advance.

You would not need a mail server on the same server as the website but likely you will need to have your website use your existing mail server. Ideally you would have your website and form use an existing mail server account on your mail server to send as so it can use an authenticated login to your mail server to do this, otherwise you will need to configure your mail server to allow your website to send using an unauthenticated connection. This later option makes it more likely for spammer to hijack this to send spam via your mail server.
