My Mac mail if filling new emails with past content?

To All Users,
I am running on MAX OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard. Since yesterday some of the new email's in my Mac Mail client are getting filled with content that is one year old. This problem does not exist with the same emails that are also downloaded to my iphone. So the problem does not lie with my service provider. There seems to be something strange going on with my Mail client. Does anyone have suggestion as to how to fix this issue? Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

1. This is the MacBook Pro hardware forums.
2. Post in the Mail & AddressBook forum of the OS you are running (which you don't mention).
3. So for Lion post here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion#/?tagSet=1386

TS3276 Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures

My Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures. I get the "whoosh" sound and they show in sent mail, but the recipient doesn't receive them until I take off the signature and resend the email. Without a signature, it is received. It never used to be a problem, but started this past month. Please advise!

Did Earthlink have you try using their authenticated SMTP server?
If not, try changing Earthlink's SMTP server settings to the following:
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 25 or 587. Assuming Earthlink is your ISP, 25 should work.
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication Type: MD5 Challenge-Response. Not sure if this authentication type is available with 10.2 and if not, select Password.
User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
Password: The password for your Earthlink email account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

Mac Mail: Editing a new email kills Mac Mail

Since yesterday, randomly, many times when I open a new email to edit, the window for the new email opens but it dies immediately and kills the whole Mac Mail. Any thoughts?

Hello OC User,
It sounds like you are unable to create a new email message because Mail makes the entire computer shutdown or become unresponsive. I would start by performing a Safe Boot and testing the issue there:
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

If that works then restart and test the issue again. If the issue persists try removing any log in items you have to see if something is interfering with Mail and test the issue again:
OS X Mavericks: If you think you have incompatible login items

If it persists, try re indexing the mail box with this article:

Mac Mail Not Showing New Emails on Inbox

Hello all,
So I have recently reindexed my Mail application because all of the emails that have been unflagged were still docking in my Flagged folder. I searched up some similar queries on Apple forum and someone suggested to delete the Envelope files under MailData. I did this and it works perfectly.
However, after doing this action, new emails (to my Gmail account) wouldn't appear on my inbox. Here is what happens instead:
- New emails arrived, flash notification appears on the top right handside of my Mac
- Inbox folder still empty, Important folder count is up
- Checked Important folder, still couldn't find the new emails
I have 3 inboxes on my Mail, 2 Gmails and 1 Yahoo. The problem only happens to the Gmail accounts. Yahoo account works perfectly fine. I didn't change any settings from Gmail account in the past ~5-9 months.
Anyone have a clue what goes wrong here?

any luck with your problem TSG?
I have been having similar issues.

My mac mail quit displaying new email.

Sunday afternoon my 'Mail Activity' window indicated I had new email. Nothing displayed in my inbox. I have two mac systems and both are having the same problem. I am getting my mail on my iPhone and via Yahoo mail without issues. I have an SBCglobal.net account as part of my phone/dsl service. My wife's account works fine. Settings are all the same, rebooting doesn't help. The message count appears in the 'Mail Activity' window, the tone sounds indicating mail is downloading, but never appears anywhere.

I had the same issue, after a day I have realize that I wasnt getting any new mail. I click on everything to figure it out and try this out:
-Go to Trash on the left.
-Its gonna show: -On my Mac
-Att/Yahoo (depends on your email provider)
-Click on: Att/Yahoo if you have that option.
and it will show a message : to go Online, because probably you switch it to offline which that was my case and didnt realize.
and Done, you will see you will getting mail normally.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Mail Services New email with selection doesn't work, leads to Force Quit

I've posted this before, but got no replies so I'm trying again since it's driving me crazy. It was a problem under Mavericks and still exists under Yosemite's Mail.
When I select text and then go to the Services menu and pick "New email with selection," much of the time a totally empty new email message window opens , won't let me type in it at all, nor will it close or send. It just sits there until I Force Quit Mail.
HELP PLEASE!!!

Standard Apple Mail. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1, and I'm amazed to see that About Mail says it's Mail Version 8.1 (1993), copyright 1995-2014 Apple Inc.
Interesting thought, do you think that it doesn't like to work with itself? Actually, I'm fairly sure I've had the problem inside of other apps but I should document that. I'll keep notes to see where this happens.

Lord K. Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it. It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me. My messages were in folders for a lawsuit. It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea. We are talking thousands of pages! I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried. However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part. THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

New email with attachment filename as Mail Subject

Does anyone know how to make an OSX Service, much like "New Email with Attachment" where the attachment's filename is automatically copied into the subject field of the email?
Can this be done in Automator, or does a script have to be written from scratch?
Thanks in advance

As I said, it is now under Share>Email.
Also, you can do the same thing just dragging an item to the Mail icon in the dock.

New Email With Attachment

I love the shortcut command "New Email With Attachment." I seem to have lost the functionality to create an email directly using a file from finder and its no longer in the Keboard Shortcuts menu. I just refered to another mac not running on Mavricks and it is still there. Any one know how to retrieve this functionality?
Thanks.

You can get this by creating a Service with Automator.
Open Automator (in Applications Folder) and Select Service.
1. Select: "Services receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]"
2. Select the New Mail Message Action
Then Save, as: New Email with Attachment

New email with selection Services problem

When I select text and choose "New email with selection" under Services, at least half the time, a new Mail message window opens, blank. Then, that blank Message window stays open, can't be closed, and the only way I can get out of it is to Force Quit Mail. I had (and often reported) this same problem under previous OS X versions, and have been hoping that it would be fixed in Yosemite, but not yet!

New email with attachment action disappeared from Finder

Does anybody know what might have happened? I've been using this action for some time, and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it stopped working. Then after some time I discovered that the action is no longer available in the Finder context menu.
Note: I'm using Bitcasa, and the Bitcasa client added some actions of its own under an option called "services".The action "new email with attachment appeared under "services" as well.
I don't think it's a Bitcasa problem as it's been working just fine for several months now. It crapped out after upgrading to ML.

Nevermind, figured it out elsewhere on the suport forum.

Do this from in the mail app. Change it to Mail 6.0.
"Hey, mine seems to be working now, what i did; i change the email preferences>general the first options reads: "default email reader" mine used to read "google chrome", after i changed the preferences the "share" button now shows all the options including "email". hope this helps in some way:D"

To check if you have a virus, you can download ClamXav
also, go to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and see if there's anything that you don't recognize, and check your sent email to see if you've been sending emails without your knowledge.

How can i set up mac mail so each line starts with a capital letter?

how can i set up mac mail so each line starts with a capital letter?

I am pretty sure that this is not an option within Apple Mail.

When I open mac mail, it opens 1000 emails in separate windows. Emails that are not even in my account anymore. Can anyone help?

You should post in the Mail forum area of whichever os is installed on your computer.
