Mavericks Mail Address Displays Disappearing

Okay this one's weird.
It seems like it happens when I wake my display from sleep, but sometimes in the message view window, the To and CC fields just disappear. If I move the mouse over them, the addresses will show back up in the blue bubble, but they won't stay. I've tried changing view options, toggling Smart Addresses, restarting Mail to no avail. Rebooting is the only reliable fix I've found to date. It happens both in the preview pane (I use Classic layout) or if I pop the message out into its own window. I've tried moving between spaces and between monitors as well.
Anyone else seen this? I did a search and didn't see it, but it's a hard thing on which to search.

Hey Anthony!
The preference that most closely matches the description of your issue is the header detail preference, which is explained in the following article:
Mail (Mavericks): Show header details
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14921
You may need to try adjusting this setting to your desired preferences. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Mavericks Mail - Not displaying Smart Addresses Correctly

Using OS X 10.9.1. If I add a contact into Contacts (formerly Address Book), Mail does not display the smart address for that contact. But if I remove the email address from the contact entry in Contacts, Mail shows the email address as a smart address (hiding the email address and only displaying the name). Please see the attached image example.
Unchecking and re-checking Smart Address in Mail's Preferences is not fixing the issue. Rebuilding Mail has not worked, and neither is restarting.
Does anyone have an idea as to what is going on?

I see exactly the same behaviour in 10.9.1, but unfortunatelly so far didn't find a workaround for it.
But I can offer a slight bit more insight into it: When switching to classic view, the Smart Address is not used in the list view of all available mails, but is used correctly in the mail itself ... same holds true for your case. If you open the mail and look at the displayed name within it, the Smart Address will be used.
It somehow seems to be a bug in Mail to me, since an inconsistent behaviour between the two views seems everything but not wanted. I already submitted a bug report, but maybe an additional report from your side might be helpfull.
It would be also good to know if anyone else is seeing exactly the same inconsistency, simply to narrow down the possible glitch...

Mavericks mail reply message disappears from screen

Using Mavericks 10.9.1 and mail, when I hit reply to a message, the reply window pops up and disappears from the screen not to be brought forward again even though it is listed in the window dropdown. This action only occurs when I have my MacBook Pro attached to an external monitor. When I detach the monitor replying to a message works fine. I don't want to constantly attach and deattach though just to answer an email. Suggestions? Bug?

What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Try disabling Search .Mac For Certificates in Keychain Access > Preferences if it’s enabled. Take a look at the following articles for an explanation of why this could be the problem:
http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/07/18/apple-mail-phones-home-too/
http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/mailapp_doesnt_phone_homeeither/
BTW, are you really using Mac OS X 10.4.2, as your profile indicates? Is there a reason you haven’t updated your system since then?

How can I display selected tags across multiple e-mail addresses?

I receive email on a specific topic but via several e-mail addresses. How can I view selected tags where the resulting e-mails span several (7) email addresses. They are all active on my Thunderbird, but as far as I know, I can only display the selected tag on one of them at a time.
Any assistance greatly appreciated as this is a very big problem for me.
thanks, Ron75

This solution does not appear to work across multiple e-mail addresses.
Perhaps I should have said "work across multiple e-mail address at the same time. I get e-mail on specific topics via several email addresses and wish to view all the tagged emails regardless of which email account in which they reside.
I could not get this solution to select more than one email account at a time.

I have just downloaded OSX Mavericks and am having a lot of problems with my iCloud account. I get a message "this iMac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with (and then it quoted my e-mail address) Does anybody know what the problem could be??

As mentioned above I have just downloaded OSX Maverick to my iMac. I am now having a lot of problems with iCloud. I get the message that "This iMac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with, and then it goes on to quote my e-mail address. It then says to open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.
I do this and no matter what I seem to do this message continues to return.
Can anybody explain how to resolve this problem (please bear in mind that I am noy very computer literate).
Many thanks

Maverick Mail - How to have default where attachments are "View as Icons", and not to display entire document

When I attach files to Mail 7.3 it often displays the entire file, not the icon. I find this highly annoying. Yes, I can one-by-one right click on the document and instruct Mac to send the file as in icon only. But I would prefer Mavericks Mail to default to a convention where all attachments are icons, not viewable docs.
Any fix for this?

try this:
Open a Terminal window.
Type this (it must be exact): defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
hit return
restart mail.

Can I transfer/migrate my mail address book from my old G5 OS 10.4.11 to a new Maverick 10.9.4 ?

Can I transfer/migrate my mail address book from my old G5 OS 10.4.11 to a new Maverick 10.9.4 ?

Thank you so much! I actually need help transferring my old address book with all my contacts and their e-mail addresses. I had trouble setting up mail so I used my internet provider's webmail to send and receive mail, but that is fixed now.
If I have to manually enter each contact, I'll do that, but it sure would be nice if there was a way to transfer the address book.
Thanks again.

In Mavericks Mail, I can't select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail. I don't want to hand select hundreds of e-mail addresses.

In Mavericks' new e-mail program, I cannot select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail without having to re-open the address book for every e-mail address I am opening. Please help.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

3) install an older version of TB:

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector@stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

SMTP Account Display E-Mail Address Sending Problem

I'm having a problem sending e-mail with my SMTP account setup. In Outlook Express I could set up an account with my domain name e-mail displayed as the reply-to address (which in turn is forwarded to my ISP account), but use my ISP account user name to both send and receive. In Mail, I can only send if the displayed/reply-to e-mail address matches my ISP user login name. Is this a limitation of Mail, or is there a way around this problem? And it's a big problem!

Never mind. Seems to work now.

How do I separate my e mail addresses using Mac Mail in Mavericks?

Hi All, moving from my beloved Snow Leopard to Mavericks has not been good.
In Mac Mail I have a mix of POP (my main accounts) and IMAP (G Mail) accounts.
Since installing Mavericks the e mail addresses are now all lumped together (as on an iPad) and I do not want this!
Please advise how I can go back to separate addresses listed as before? Help! I choose to prioritise my e mails and a whole lot at once is so not where I want to be! (And it does not look as stylish as before!)
Thank You!

Answered! Ok, I am trudging my way through Mavericks and it seems I have my separate Mail boxes back.
I have to say that I do not like the look of Mavericks. It was so clean, simple and smart before. It feels kind of messy but maybe I need lots more time to get used to it .But so far, a bit sad I've upgraded to Mavericks. I did it first on my Mac Book before doing so on my iMac and at the mo I am not going to!

Display constantly shows "Acquiring e-mail address..."

After setting up the Officejet 6600 the display constantly shows the HP logo with the spinning circle and says "Acquiring e-mail address...". No other functions are available on the printer as this is constantly on the display.

Hello Marrg,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that during the initial setup of the Officejet 6600 it is stuck on the point of acquiring an Email address. Have you tried to remove the power from the back of the printer while on, wait 60 seconds and then connect the power back in the printer?
Doing that should allow the printer to load to the home screen, from there, try to enable Web Services again by touching icon in the upper left corner () and following the steps.
If still having issues, connect a USB cable to computer, download and install the firmware update. For Windows computer: HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One H711 Firmware, for Mac: HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One H711 Firmware (For Mac OS 10.6 and above).
Let me know if this has helped you at all.

Displaying E-mail Address

My ISP just changed over the e-mail server they use to gmail. The e-mail address that I give people ([email protected]) is forwarded to my ISP's e-mail ([email protected]), and when I send, I want to display the noskimmers.com address.
Up until now it has worked fine, however my e-mails are displaying the dslextreme address and not my company's address. I checked in the preferences and it still shows all of the correct settings.
HELP!

They are saying that since mac mail will not allow me to put the address in the SMTP, and they now use SMTP authentication. This is ******* me off to no end!
