Neither Entourage nor Apple Mail will retain my password

About three weeks ago, Entourage '08 stopped remembering my password (I'm remembering now, it was around when we updated to 10.6.8). I spend about 2 hours trying to figure out why, checking discussion boards, etc. I thought it was Entourage, murmured some obscenities about Microsoft, and went to switch my gmail IMAP acct to Apple Mail. Keychain still does not retain the password there either. I've tried to repair permissions, but to no avail.
Interestingly enough, I have another user name on the Mini where Entourage and Apple Mail behaves just fine when logged in. On my Macbook Pro, the update has not affected use of Entourage or Apple Mail.
Does anyone have any ideas? I read a bunch of the older posts on similar topics, but haven't found a solution.
Thanks, all!

switch my gmail IMAP acct to Apple Mail
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then select the Account Information tab.
Type in the password.
Quit Mail, then relaunch Mail to test.

Moving folders from Entourage to Apple Mail

I need to move several folders of 'saved messages' from Entourage to Apple Mail. I have done by using File>Import Mailboxes then clicked Microsoft Entourage. I get the boxes up and tick the ones I want to import.
They do drop into Mail, as do the headers of the mails inside each folder but when I click on one it's an empty email. I guess this is something to do with them not being mbox format.
Any ideas how I save all my Entourage emails in mbox format and then get them into Mail else I am going to be switching between both Applications every day?

Actually my subject is misleading: It should be "From Entourage on 1 mac to Entourage on another mac." In retrospect I should have posted this message in another thread. Sorry!
From Entourage drag the mailboxes into a folder on the desktop (it works).
Airport the folder over to the the other mac.
Launch Entourage & drag the .eml files (the extension for Entourage mailboxes) from the desktop folder into the Inbox in the Entourage application.
New mailboxes will automatically be created containing all of the emails in the Entourage window of the original computer.
This isn't strictly a Mail & Address book issue, perhaps it should have been in the OS 10.4 thread. In any case I hope this is useful to anyone who needs to xfer emails in such a manner. Resending each one would have been brutal as I'm talking several thousands. For tedious reasons too many to list I realized that I needed the mailboxes and their content transferred into Entourage on the other computer.
I love "drag and drop."

Apple Mail will not load

My Apple Mail will appear to open, but will not allow me access or to perform any actions, like to read the messages, or open them, or send mail. This has been going on for at least a month; sometimes repairing disc permissions seems to correct it, sometimes it just has suddenly worked, but tonight it will not let me at my mail at all even though I can see my Mail window. I've repaired permissions, restarted, etc., but to no avail. When this problem has gone away briefly, every action taken in mail gives the spinning ball and takes forever, but sometimes works and I have my mail back. If I shut down my computer and restart it the problem reappears. Anyone else have this problem in Apple Mail?

This is not a problem specific to Lion, but most recent OS X versions. Regularly I receive email formatted as HTML, which includes JPEG images embedded within them. These images are technically attachments, and as such, Mail.app displays them as a placeholder. Other mail apps will display these images inline, regardless of them being an attachment, remote image or otherwise.
How can I make these images load automatically?

This solved my question by louse101 on Jul 26, 2011 3:47 AM
No-one replied, but I found a solution on another board. Run Terminal (do a Spotlight search if you don't know where to find this), and type:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
This will force Mail not to disable inline attachment viewing. Obviously, to reverse this, simple replace 'false' at the end with 'true'.

Neither LR nor PS CC will recognize raw files from a Nikon D5500 camera, although it is indicated as being supported.

I have been using Photoshop CS5 with no problems. I just bought a Nikon D600 which is not supported by CS5. I heard that Lightroom 4.2 will support it so I shelled out $199 for that product. Now I see that if I import a raw file into LR, work on it and then try to send it to PS for more editing I can't do that. I am told I have to spend another $199 to upgrade to CS6 because Adobe has no plans to have CS5 support my camera. This is a rip-off.
Uh...no...you are wrong.
CS5 can open D600 files if you convert the D600 files using the free DNG Converter 7.3 RC which is available at labs.adobe.com (note DNG Converter 7.2, ACR 7.2 and LR 4.2 offer preliminary support). LR 4.3 and ACR 7.3 RC (both are release candidates hence the RC category) can deal with D600 raw files directly. If you process the D600 file in LR 4.3 RC, you can open that image in CS5 if you render the image in Lightroom 4.3 RC.
Yes, Adobe will no longer update CS5.x because Adobe started shipping CS6. It's Adobe's policy to cease support for versions of Photoshop that is no longer shipping–Adobe is now shipping CS6. It ain't a rip-off, it's the standard Adobe policy to support CURRENT customers, not former customers.
You really need to catch up bud...software and new cameras change all the time. Buying a new cameras generally means you'll need to update your software. Foolish you for not knowing that. All of this could be mitigated if Nikon and Canon (and the other main camera brands) adopted some sort of raw file format standards...sadly, they don't which allows people who fail to grasp the reality of the situation to blame Adobe.

Apple mail will not open any windows for me.

I have a mid 2009 mac book pro. I upgraded to Mavericks and now my apple mail will not display any screens (windows). When I open it, it will bounce once in the dock then show the nav bar at the top, however most everything like send new mail is grey. I have tried loading upgrades but they won't load to my HD for some reason or another and am at a loss.

Try holding down the shift key when opening Mail.

Switch from Entourage to Apple mail

I have imported my Entourage emails and Addressbook into Apple mail. Some new emails are coming into Entourage and some into Apple Mail and some into both. How do I control this so they stop coming into Entourage and come only into Apple?
Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for your reply.
If I have imported my addressbook and emails from Entourage into Apple mail, is that the same thing has backing up my Entourage data as you suggested? Or is there something else I'm not aware of that should be backed up. All I have ever used Entourage for is email and addressbook. Entourage has also been automatically backing up up on iDisk.
Thanks again.
You're going to need to stop Entourage from getting
email from that account.
Open Entourage.
Go to the Entourage menu.
You can then select and delete the account.
Note: You should consider backing up your Entourage
data just in case you change your mind.

How do I import contact list from entourage to apple mail?

I've been using Entourage as my email for years, but everything Microsoft on my Mac screw up. I want to get rid of all of my Microsoft stuff. How do I transfer my mail contacts from Entourage to Apple Mail?

Does Entourage export as CSV (comma separated vars)? You can import that file format into Contacts.

Entourage to Apple mail for email

I've been putting off making the move from Entourage to Apple Mail. Now is the time....but ---- in several online instructions I found this direction: To move your email, open Mail and click File > Import Mailboxes. From the pop-up window, select Microsoft Entourage as the email client. When I do that Entourage is not on the list...it's Apple Mail, Netscape, Thunderbird, Eudora and files in mbox format. So what do I need to do move my email to Apple Mail.
Thanks.

Hi All, I had duplicated mail boxes set up. Apple Support called me (I had scheduled the time) and they took a look at it and said to delete one of them.

Apple Mail will not work without webmail login

Spontaneously 2 weeks ago I got a triangle next to my Apple Mail Inbox and could neither send nor receive email. I have used ATT for DSL and my email address for over two years without this problem. I have checked all my settings with ATT and they claim they have even "rebuilt" my mailbox and all is good. But unless I use a browser to log into webmail first, Mail will not work. The user name/password/port info is all correct, but Mail cannot connect. Even when the "keep me logged in" box is checked when I log in to webmail, Mail will stop working if I close out the browser and put the computer to sleep. This is driving me crazy.

I've had what sounds very similar issue with another DSL ISP: Qwest.
Ran both Comcast & Qwest simultaneously (alternately, not really concurrently)
for awhile & got sporadic blips & failures to connect.
I never could establish conclusively whether it was the ISP, or a local client problem.
I think its the ISP. Had other email annoyances with them that never quite got resolved
Sometimes my mail was left on the webmail server & never got delivered & would do so, same as you describe.
Its never anyone's fault, or problem...
I doubt they'd tell you if it was an issue on their end, if it not resolved.

Is there a comprehensive list of what X-Spam headers Apple Mail will look at when determining junk mail status?

Apple Mail has a preference to 'Trust junk mail headers in messages' but I can not find a list of what those headers are. By trial and error I've learned the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" will work (exactly that, no extra info), but I'd like to know what other options there are... particularly if I can send a score/rating back and have it look at that.
But I can't find a list of supported headers. The Internet is full of "common spam headers" and yet none of them actually seem to work -- and lots of people who can't get it working with spamassassin which is incredibly common...
So... is there such a list?

I'm in the process of trying to get this information for a client. Even with a paid AppleCare agreement, the only answer I'm getting is "look in the forums" and "look on the developer site" (although I have to give credit to the Tier-1 rep who's trying to help me.) The impression I'm getting is that they consider an exact list of header names to be proprietary information for some reason, and are going to great pains to try not to give out the information, but also to not create ill will amongst their customers by explicitly saying "that's proprietary".

Apple mail will not recieve emails without delay. Going offline is not working. Connection Doctor is successfull. Mail check set to every minute.

I am using Apple mail on my Imac. My emails are coming in but always late...the delay varies from 15 minutes to over an hour.
Im using imap...email hosting is via Godaddy. (imap.secureserver.net) I would normally blame Godaddy, but I use the same account on my Iphone... yet their is no problems whatsoever. I set them up using the exact same information.
- Mail check is set to every minute.
- Connection Doctor successfully connects right away for both incoming and outgoing.
- Closing the program and reopening does not work... Nor does going offline and checking for mail.
- Check mail button does nothing...literally nothing.
Currently using Yosemite 10.10.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated!:)

Delete the GoDaddy account from Internet Accounts (make sure to select Remove All)

Apple Mail will recieve but not send

Anyone have a problem with apple Mail not sending - meaning the button clicks but the application will not create the action. "Click" and nothing happens for Send, Reply,or Reply All. No mail server issues, has been working for ever, then just stopped. I repaired all the permissions but still not working! HELP!

Mail > Mailbox > Take all Accounts Online ...
... is what made them go for me.
I also opened the:
Mail > Window > Previous Recipients ...
...list, and thinned it out substantially, and got much better co-operation from Mail after that. It really was full of useless, dead, and damaged from/to addresses, and that seemed to send Mail into uselessly chasing through them all.

Apple Mail Will Not Work with DSL

I have a MacBook Pro i7 running OS 10.7.4 (Lion). My version of Apple Mail is 5.2. The server names are set correctly. Both incoming and outgoing. The numbers? I dunno. POP3 is sets itself for 995 with SSL enabled. SMTP is set for 465 with SSL enabled. Needless to say, there is a ton of mail on the Verizon web mail page, but none of it will download into Apple Mail. Verizon Mail seems to set itself up automatically on my iPhone, but that's not where I need it. I need it at the desktop. However, the server numbers seem to automatically change on me every time I turn my back.
Just what are the proper server numbers now, and do we need to enable SSL with them?
Thanks a bunch.
Dr. John

Dr. John,
Login at www.verizon.net, and let us know if it's a combined verizon/yahoo email or just plain verizon mail.
the servers are different if it's one or the other.
