Mountain Lion - email size

Before mountain lion, I could see how big my email was. The size was displayed on the lower right, I think. I'm running mountain lion, now. How do I turn that feature on?

Open Mail, click on the View menu, then Columns, then scroll down and select Size. Position it in the Mail window where you wish.

Mountain Lion email

Is anyone having trouble with Mountain lion email? I can receive but not send messages.

Regarding not being able to send emails with Mountain Lion, this might help - courtesy of those magnificent teccies at o2.
Go to mail - preferences - account info - outgoing mail server - select EDIT SMTP list - select Advanced - select use custom port - type 25 into box and click ok.
Thia worked a treat for me.
o2 reckon Apple are well aware of the email problem and are working on fixing it. The sooner the better I say!

Mail (Mountain Lion) emails disappear - vanishing email - missing emails

Problem:
I have 5 different email addresses configured in Apple's Mail application. One day after checking Mail several times through a day, I open Mail and all 5 email accounts show empty inboxes and outboxes. I was shocked and in panic mode because I have thousands of emails going back to 2012 I needed to refer to.
My setup:
(I'm sure this issue is not limited to my setup)
15" Mid 2010 i7 MacBook Pro, running OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5, Mail version 6.6
My search for an answer:
I've been Mac since the early 90's & I knew finding a solution from apples website would be a ton of work because of Apples mind numbingly pathetic search support.
So I used "the google" to help me.
I found a long history of disappearing issues with Mail since Mountain Lion's introduction.
With that long history, the fixes were many.
I tried two of them:
1- Mails Mailbox pulldown window Rebuild.
2- "home" folders now hidden "Library" remove Mail and Mail Downloads folders..
Neither solution worked for me.
After a lot of time on the google I found help.
Solution:
I found a solution and I'm posting it here in hopes that others find it faster then I did here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11704
In steps:
Mail should not be open, if it is quit Mail.
1 - On your mac, go yo your "Home" folder.
Details for finding this folder:
It is the folder icon that looks like a little house.
A simple way to get there:
With all apps and windows closed, at the top of your monitor, far left, is the Apple icon, next to that is the word "Finder", go right and click on the word "Go", in that drop down menu/window click on "Home"
2 - Open "Library" folder in "Home" folder.
Details for finding this folder:
It is a folder that starting with Lion is now invisable/hidden from your view. So you first have to make it visable/unhide it.
A simple way to get there:
As listed above, at the top of your monitor, far left, is the Apple icon, next to that is the word "Finder", go right and click on the word "Go", in that drop down menu/window now click on "Go to Folder". That will open a window with a box for you to type. In the box type "~/Library" ... more help... the ~ key can be found in the upper left corner of your keyboard just under the esc key. Press the shift key then the `~ key.
3 - Open "Mail", then "V2" then "MailData" inside that folder delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.
Details for finding the items to delete/trash/put in recycle bin and empty:
Inside your now unhidden "Home" "Library" folder, open the "Mail" folder, inside that folder open "V2" folder, inside that folder open "MailData" folder, inside that folder look for any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm. and throw them in the trash and delete/empty trash.
4 - last step. Open mail.
It should open with a window "Mail message Import" click on "next" it will prosess/make a new list of your existing emails (more emails will take more time) and you should be back in business.

You have never elaborated on those reasons.
Have you ever looked at all the posts on these forums about Mac Mail? More then for any other Mail program on any other forum
You should know better than to extrapolate conclusions from such questionable sources. Data on troubleshooting forums is always biased towards trouble, so you have no data about the ratio of people having trouble to people not having trouble. Further, comparing to other forums is similarly meaningless. Mail is the default e-mail client on the Mac, and will have a much higher portion of the market share than Thunderbird. So of course it will have more complaints, because more people are using it.
If you have concrete reasons to constantly bash Mail, rather than hearsay and unscientific "data," I'm all ears.

Mountain Lion Email doesn't work even with 10.8.1 update!

My mail application completely failed shortly after the upgrade to Mountain Lion. None of the user advice has repaired it from these forums, so I have now resigned myself to using my ipad and iphone to conduct all my business emails. I was hopeful that this first 10.8.1 update from Apple would restore the my mail application. I can frustratingly report that no, it certainly hasn't. No change in fact. I click on the mail app and the beachball of death continues for about 5 minutes then it comes up with a message 'there is a problem with your mailboxes' with the option to quit or quit and rebuild index. If I choose that latter, the beachball resumes it's rotation forever or until I hard reset the machine as all other programs crash at this point. Apple, please help FAST, this is no way to run a business!!!!

Agreed, but I think that for most Mail seems to be working fine. There don't seem to many posts complaining about Mail problems - well no more than usual.
Have you tried a Safe Boot which sometimes helps in solving odd problems. and if that doesn't help, re-installing the OS using the Recovery HD?

For a Safe Boot restart holding down the shift key until you see a grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.

OSX Mountain Lion Email APP

   I have a problem with ny retina macbook pro I updated to OSX mountain Lion after update the EMAIL APP in the area when you see the new emails if you scroll up or down begins to see deteriorate like garbage then I made a click in that area and the garbage dissapear and I can see the list of emails but is so bad because if I scroll down to see old emails I can´t see nothing because I see garbage and that garbage disappear when I make a click making useless this problem the email app. Any suggestion on how to fix that issue?
   Note: Is just the problem with email app other apps and whole system are running perfect.
Than you

I solved doing from that link https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145777?start=0&tstart=0
this:
1. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and uncheck "Contacts"
2. You need to remove the folder /Users/<your_name>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
          If you have issues removing, quit Mail and Contacts
          If you don't have contacts in iCloud, try renaming the folder
3. Reboot the machine
4. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and now check "Contacts"
Now when you bring up Contacts, it should sync with iCloud, Mail and Messages will work fine.
Then:
After trying everything listed in this thread without succes, deleting the following finally solved my problem:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
This solved the issue.
Thank you anyway

Re: Recommended Mountain Lion Partition Size

Hi--
First time here, career Windows/DOS WH hacker, new to Mac/Mountain Lion.
I want to add Windows 7 HP to my MBA; have full complement of 8GB/512 GB.
I expect to be doing next to nothing on ML; will be turning this excellent HW into a Win box. (cringing noted)
Q1: How much (minimal) space should I leave in the OS X partition? (I need ALL I can get on the Win 7 side for prof photo editing).
Q2: Can you supply a link to the currently recommended procedure for adding Win 7 to a MBA (mid-2012)?
Thanks very much for any assistance you may provide.

After installing mountain lion emails arrive and instantly vanish

my account is a IMAP one and smtp2go.com (smtp), before installing mountain lion I could read all mails, now when they arrived they desappear just after you read them (you cannot find them in unwanted mails), I took the solution of sending them to a "new" folder of Apple Mail: archived or filed.

Check your junk mail settings it could be removing them to the junk box

Mountain Lion text size

I've just downloaded Moutain Lion and the text is really small. I know I can do cmd + to make it bigger but that only works if I stay on the page, if I move away it reverts to being tiny. Also the text in the tool bar has gone miniscule! Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks.

Welcome to the Support Communities. If you're referring to text in Safari, in Safari's Preferences > Advanced tab, there's a minimum font size setting.

Mountain Lion install size

Hi all,
I have recently bought the rMBP and installed a fresh copy of ML on it. I also installed a fresh copy of ML on my last year MBP. After finishing the installation, ML seems to take around 24 GB of space on rMBP and around 12 GB on my MBP. Though I know that retina display doubles the graphics size but the whole installations of the same OS can't be twice as large on rMBP comapred to the normal MBP. These figures do not include the iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand applications, just the OS X installation. However, the strange thing is the following; after the installation when I check the Macintosh HD and measure the sizes of Application, System, Users, and Library Folders, it adds up to only around 12 GB on rMBP and around 8 GB on MBP. I don't know where all the other HD space has gone? I know there is an internet recovery partition, but that doesn't take more than 2 GB on each machine. Can anyone explain why is it so and how can I receover this space on my HD?

How do you get Mountain Lion Mail to show sent email size?

I upgraded to mountain lion I think a couple months ago so I don't remember exactly when I lost this feature, but in Snow Leopard for sure there was an option that when composing a new email, a little bar across the bottom of the email showed the size of your email so when you were adding attachments you could see the size your email was getting to be. I obviously haven't used that in a while because I ahvent' sent attachments in a long while, but I have recently started to do that again and tonight when I was adding files, there was no bar across the bottom of the email at all so I have no idea what size my email was. Even when I hit send and the progress bar in the bottom left of Mail ("Mail Activity") that use to show the file size right underneath the bar also now no longer shows the size so I have absolutely no idea how big the email I sent was.
Can anyone tell me how to get the option back to show the email size of the mail your composing in that little bar on the bottom of your email as well as the file size to display as you are sending in "Mail Actiivity" window? Thanks so much if anyone can help. Thank you!

Can't send emails after Mountain Lion update

After I updated from Lion to Mountain Lion, I could receive messages from my service provider's account, but I could not send messages. Mail Connection Doctor showed the information "Could not connect to SMTP server" for both SMTP servers, and when I try to send a message, I see that each SMTP server now has "(Offline)" after its name. I can still send from my iPad to the same servers, and also from the service provider's webmail. I have rebooted everything (Mac, wi-fi, router) to no avail, and I have followed all advice in Support articles such as TS3276. I have changed absolutely no settings anywhere from the Lion system, and a check of all settings shows that they match the printout I made of the Lion settings. I do not use iCloud for mail, so that server is disabled in Email Accounts, although the system opens iCloud on port 993 for Contacts, etc.
Below is part of the output from the Doctor, which shows an error "503 wrong state for EHLO command" on ports 25 and 587. Researching this message didn't really help me, and, as I say above, I have changed no settings between OS versions, so I assume that something must have changed with Mountain Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting the same behaviour with my ISP's mail server:

Mail in Mountain Lion - not deleting emails

Hi
i have Mountain Lion and have noticed by emails from an exchange server are not deleting. I cannot move them to trash - an error appears. I have deleted the account and re-submitted.
This occassionally happened in Lion but now my inbox is getting overwhelmed with items to delete
thanks, Julian.

I think I might have solved it myself!! I did two things almost at the same time and it has solved my problem - i am just not sure which did it.
- I deleted some emails - reduced the size of my mailbox which is large.
- I select Rebuild from the Mailbox menu option.
One of those did it!
Good luck,

Hi, I upgraded to OX X Mountain Lion, and now I can't upload any pictures from iphoto/desktop to email, etc. After I choose my file and hit "attach file" to upload, it says: "Invalid File Specified". I am using jpg, so I'm confused. Any suggestions?

Emails from one account don't appear in the Inbox of Mail since upgrading to Mountain Lion

I have a couple of email accounts - one is Gmail and one is a domain for my business. Previously Mail would show the Inbox and then a subfolder for each account under Inbox. Any messages received in the accounts would appear in both their own subfolder and also the Inbox. All my rules worked properly and life was good. Now, try as I might I cannot get my domain email account messages to show in the global/unified Inbox.
Originally the domain email folder was totally separate to the Inbox. By changing the IMAP Prefix (removing 'Inbox') I was able to get the folder at least under Inbox.
I purchased a new iMac and used Migration Assistant to move everything, therefore the problem persists. I had additional problems that my address book, rules and On My Mac folders didn't appear - but I solved that by finding the Containers folder and it is like a duplicate of Mail. I moved things from there to the Library/Mail and those particular issues resolved. But for the inbox issue, I have removed data from the Users/Library/Mail and from Library/Containers and started afresh - even deleted the Mail App and reinstalled from my original disc, but as soon as I set up the account it happens again.
Recently I have also started receiving errors when sending to use the Connection Doctor. I don't know if all this is related to a bug in Mountain Lion, the way I have things set up, or my domain/ISP.
Any suggestions on what to try, what it may be or ways around it would be great. I do have a Smart Mailbox for a Total Inbox, but of course the Rules don't work automatically on it. I'm getting sick of running Rules manually. Help please!!

I called the support service and she told me to delete my email address and re-enter it. I have no problem since then on receiving and sending emails.
