Modifying existing mail rules now even worse with Mavericks 10.9.1

Mail nightmares continue with Mavericks update 10.9.1 installed. In fact, the nightmare gets bigger. The story goes like this.
Prior to Mavericks, I created a stack of rules to move Mail messages from the Inbox to designated Mailboxes, e.g. messages from Friends would be moved to a Friends mailbox. Everything worked fine.
Along comes Mavericks, and when I Edit a rule to add a new recipient, and Apply that rule change to Move existing messages to another mailbox, messages would be Copied instead of being Moved, even though Move was the only action selected.
Now with Mavericks 10.9.1, nothing happens when I Edit an existing rule and then Apply the rule change to an existing message. The messae just sits in the Inbox and does not appear at all in the Mailbox I want to move it to.
How do I modify mail rules to move a message to another mailbox, then apply that rule modification to existing messages?

Hi BG 29,
Unfortunatelly you are not the only one with this problem. I am in the same situation with the exception that once I create the rule the new incoming messages will go to the designated mailbox. If you want to create a new rule, the message will just copy, not move to the mailbox. I contacted Apple support and a representative called me back and asked me to do all kind of stuff, but no luck. I was hopping that the update to 10.9.1 will solve this, but again no luck. I gave up in trying....I am waiting for the next update and hope for the best.

Mail Rules don't work in Mavericks

It seems with the update to 10.9 Mavericks Mail rules no longer work. My email address was harvested by spamers and I have been using rules to weed throught the 100's of emails that I receive each day.
Russian Brides, Vigra, Learn a new language get moved into the trash when delievered. Now nothing happens.
I just tried to write a new rule and when I clicked the Prefs pannel I got the spinning cursor. After waiting for some time I did a force quit only to find that Mail was not responding.
Anyone have any ideas? I did not see any major changes with Mail and Mavericks so I'm not sure why it's been effected.

You might condider using an Applescript with Mail Rules.
Here's one that I use (Use whitelist to not move to spam):
(Just edit to your junk or whitelist)
Note: The Applescripit must be saved to: ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/
The rule:
The AppleScript:

Mac mail is running soooo slow with Mavericks.

I have the newest 15inch i7 retina display MacBook pro and Mavericks has destroyed the speed of it. It is most evident in Mac Mail where emails take forever to load. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? I think I am going back to Mountain Lion because with Mavericks my computer has essentially been rendered a paperweight.

Yup, same here with an iMac, 2,9 Ghz Core i5 with 16 GB of Ram. It takes several minutes for Mail to launch and display messages. During that time it sits with the spinning wheel and activity monitor reports Mail is not responding. Eventually it does come back to life, but it may be some 4 to 5 minutes later. Also selecting groups of messages with Command/A takes perhaps 10 to 15 seconds, and other things just seem pokey or don't quite work right.
In addition I lost most of my mail boxes and the mail inthem. I have been trying to import it back from a clone backup. I've been at it for about a week now trying to get everything back to where it should be.
I'd love to know just what is wrong here. I'm sure Mail isn't supposed to be working this badly in Mavericks.
I deleted Mail preferences in my library after seeing someone mention that fixed a slow mail for them. Oddly, Mail is not creating new preferences when it relaunches.

Now idvd works with Mavericks' iPhoto Library, but...

I have iDVD installed with Mavericks.
Every time I attempted to click on iPhoto in the button Media of iDVD, iDVD would crash.
Today, I deleted the iDVD plist and the Caches, but in addition, I also opened the iPhoto Library (using Show Content)
and deleted the databases contained in the folder "iLife Shared"
Now I can click on Media and Photos, and iDVD is no longer crashing.
Is this a lasting solution or problems will appear later on with iPhoto?

Did it completely replace my current library with the old one?
Not without warning your first, did it?
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. How many libraries are listed there?

Mail works even worse with Gmail and Google apps after upgrade

I had good hopes that Apple would solve the mail issues with the 10.9.2 update, but unfortunately it seems that now the synchronization between Gmail/Google apps is completely off.
After archiving a message in my mail application the message remains in my inbox in Google apps and Gmail.
When I was using 10.9.1 this was not the case, I only suffered delay in receiving mails and could not manually move a message from my inbox to the all messages box.
I have Outlook on my Mac, which came with Office, but never configured it.
Do I really need to start to use that programm?

Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

Does Mail rules support OR logic with exclude

I am trying to create a rule that will allow me to test emails to see if it contains "payment" or "statement" but is not from "[email protected]" (example only)
I can get it to correctly test the or logic but not the exclude with the OR
Any suggestions on how I can configure this
Thanks--Ed

My quick guess:
You need two rules.
Rule 1:
If ALL of the following...
Message Content Contains "payment"
From Does not contain "[email protected]"
Rule 2:
If ALL of the following...
Message content Contains "statement"
From Does not contain "[email protected]"
Then, it should first check to see if it has "payment" or "statement", if it does then it should check to make sure it isn't from [email protected] If it IS from [email protected] it should not apply the rule.

Mail "Rules" no longer work in Mavericks

I have a lot of rules for moving incoming mail to certain folders I've set up.
Once I upgraded to Mavericks, it seemed that Mail just exploded with problems. Certainly Rules stopped working.
So I removed all my Rules (I have quite a few) and reinstalled them, one at a time.
Now? Sometimes they work. Mostly they don't. Sometimes they work sometimes *for the same sender*.
Any ideas or is this a "known problem"?
Jeannette

Same issue here. For the first 3 days after I set up some rules they worked fine. Then today they don't.

Mail & Calendar won't work with Mavericks

1. I open Mail in Mavericks and cannot see any of my new or saved emails from my Gmail account.
2. When I try to open Calendars the screen briefly flashes and Calendars will not open.
Is there a fix for these issues?
Mavericks seems to be a waste of time, my Mac Pro worked fine with Mountain Lion and now I seem to have a very buggy system.

re deleting a Calendar cache file. It worked for me when Calendar locked up after "upgrading" to mavericks, so worth a try?

My Mail app has lost functions with Mavericks

Did you try sending a photo from the photo app? The same exact thing happened to me, I clicked a couiple times on the bottom button (for changing screens) and I got all my other apps working, except the email app - doesn't work at all & I can't even get into the mail category in the settings app.

Mail and Key board issues with Mavericks 9.2

I am using a Mac Pro and have just uploaded Mavericks 9.2 upgrade.
I am now experiencing erratic response to key board commands, while typing and Mac Mail is sometimes unresponsive. My epson photo stylus 1400 printer driver also bacame unresponsive. This issue was resolved by uninstalling the driver, re-installing the original driver >reloading the upgrades from Epson via software update>adding the newly installed printer to the preferences. Presently the printer is working just fine, but the Mac Mail menu bar is blinking uncontrollabley and is unresponsive until I quit it and reboot the program. Anyon else having these issues?

Problem resolved by restting the PRAM.

Is there a 10.9 Server app available as 10.8 now longer works with Mavericks

Since updating from Mountain Lion to mavericks the 10.8 Server.app software does not run, is there an update to 10.9

tbh I'd forgotten about the OS Version mis-match problem with Server.app and because I'd found a version of Work Group Manager that ran under Mavericks thought there'd be a version of Server.app as well
As there's no way we will be update all our servers to Mavericks, I'll just have to revert to Apple Remote Desktop and run Server.app locally
Thanks for jogging my memory Semmelroccys about
PS Since Apple stopped making XServes they don't seem to give a **** about enterprise useage

Mail App Crashes on launch with mavericks

yestrday I've installed Maveriks and Mail program always crash during the starting, and tomorrow it's monday and the work start in the morning !!!
thanks in advance to all !!

Install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
That will replace any missing system files.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then try the Mail app.

10.5.3: Server Mail gets even worse, kills incoming SMTP

I did an update to 10.5.3 using the stand-alone installer and, after the delay and restarts Apple warned about, I was presented with the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD). After an hour and confirmation of no hard drive head movement for at least two minutes, I forced a shut down with the power button. Restarted fine and web back on line. Not a confidence-inspiring update. Actually, it's the first time I've seen Server updates do this.
Then there's Mail. It's now even worse than in 10.5.2. It did not work in 10.5.0, or 10.5.1, or 10.5.2. I was so hoping that Apple would finally make this service work. No such luck. 'Upgrading' turned off SMTP incoming, and there's no way to get it on. Every time I click the button and Save, the button simply unchecks itself.
In my 26 years as an exclusively Apple user (bigot, actually), I've NEVER seen Apple release software as insanely, woefully buggy as Leopard Server. I've seen a few iffy Apple software products, but never anything even approaching this. I'm told that Tiger Server is way better, but my licence is for Leopard.
The upgrade notes do not speak of ANY of the bugs I've reported in Mail since 10.5.0, and there's (naturally) no indication the the upgrade may kill Mail, which it does in my case.
Where does one go to get one's money back, and where does one send the invoice for all the time Apple has wasted by non-consensually making me a beta (alpha) tester of the (ahem) 'bullet-proof, enterprise-level' product? Does Apple not understand that our businesses are at stake, because we base our businesses on reliable, enterprise capable software? Given my experiences with Leopard Server, I just don't see how Apple can claim Server is remotely suitable for enterprise use.
Grrrr.

If you make manual edits, then it's key to back them up prior to an update.
It turns out that this is not the problem with either of the issues I encountered.
It's also advisable, to test any update in advance using a non-production server/box
prior to installing it on a production server.
Good advice, but in the two problems I identified in master.cf, a backup would not have helped.
One claim is that the 10.5.3 update makes a change to /etc/services - however:
Not from me. 10.5.3 does cause a situation, however, where on needs to adjust that file to remove error messages in the log.
having a brief look at the contents of the Combo updater (which should include all updated items in/of any 10.5.x update thus far), I don't see anything that changes /etc/services.
This file did not change on my box. It was still dated in Sept., 2007, but the entry for port 465 had to be changed from urb to smtps to make the errors go away.
Maybe it's incredibly well-hidden or I've looked right past it many times, but it doesn't show itself.
Given that services did not change, and master.cf works (after a fashion) in 10.5.3, it seems that the change was made elsewhere during the update. There have been hints by some that they know what the problem is, but they have yet to 'share.'
but again, I'm looking at the comb updater right now.
Which is what I used, all 633 MB of it.
