New Lion Mac Mail

Not too sure how much I really like this new app - but perhaps I can change a few settings around so I like it. Can anyone help?
1) Am I able to have my emails NOT group in my inbox according to the subject line? Sometimes I have responses with the same subject line, from different email addresses and they get lost in my inbox
2) Am I able to select an email and see who the email was TO? (currently it does not show me any other info other than who the email was from, subject and date/time)
Thanks so much Apple Communities!

In mail go to the view menu and uncheck conversation view.

Folder size in new Lion Mac Mail is Huge

Anyone know how I can adjust my folder size (pixel height/width)? Before I upgraded they were much smaller and easier to see on my screen.
Large Folder Size : http://screencast.com/t/gKF441D2Op6
Thanks for the help,
Daniel

I found the solution on another thread.
Thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15667362#15667362
You need to go to 'System Preferences, General, Sidebar Icon Size'

Thanks for your reply and for trying to help. I appreciate it.

Mountain Lion / Mac mail disconnects from MS Exchange server.

We use an MS Exchange account for our company email. We bought 2 new retina display MacBook Pros running Mountain Lion last Fall. My old laptop is still running Lion. Lion / Mac Mail works fine on the old laptop, never losing contact with the MS Exchange server. Mountain Lion / Mac Mail randomly loses contact with our exchange server on a regular basis. This results in a slow and painful re-download of 2 years worth of email while I have to resort to my old laptop to keep up with new incoming email. I check these discussions occasionally when I can find a spare moment and I have found some similar symptoms being complained about, but no solutions yet. There have been a couple of OS updates since we bought the new laptops, but alas, no mention of this problem. It seems no one is doing anything about it. Have I missed a post? Anyone have any suggestions? This is getting really old.
Thanks!

I was having the same issue! I finally found a solution to it!
1. Delete your exchange account from the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane in System Preferences.
2. Go to Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, click "Go to Folder" and type in "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box. This will take you to your user Library folder.
3. Use the search box in the finder and type in "com.apple.notes" and click "Library" in the search bar that appears. This should now find several folders and files related to the Notes app. Rename or delete everything except the help files (with the lifesaver icons on them). Just to be safe, I'll list the files and folders you should delete or rename and their directory paths:
com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/
com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers
com.apple.Notes.plist - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Preferences
com.apple.Notes.savedState - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved
4. Restart your Mac. Put your exchange account back into System Preferences, you can go ahead and activate the Notes sync service.
5. Open Notes and it should be working now!
NOTE: I also deleted all the stored information related to the exchange account in Keychain Access when I deleted the 4 com.apple files. This may or may not be necessary, but I just thought it was worth mentioning.

Search Question for Lion Mac Mail

In recent weeks, I've figured out most of the thorny issues with Lion Mac Mail, but maybe someone can help me with this one:
When I search "Sent Mail', the results come back with my name showcased in bold (which serves no purpose, I mean I'm searching from my Sent folder, so we can assume they're all from me). In earlier versions, however, the name of the recipient would be showcased. Much more useful.
Let me give you an example. I'm trying to find emails where I mentioned a Golden Spatula. I know I wrote to several people about this sacred utensil. Okay, in the past, the search engine would list all the emails where this term arises, and they would be distinguished by who I sent them to.
Now, I see a list of all the emails, but my name in bold is the only term I can quickly peruse.
Know what I'm talking about? Any suggestions?
Thanks.....T

Logic Pro 8 won't install on my new Lion Mac! What can I do about it?!!?

Last week I bought a brand spanking new Macbook Pro that I was very chuffed with and runs OSX 10.7.2 (Lion). But now that I have got round to installing my music software, I have found that Logic Studio 8 will not work at all. My old Mac ran 10.5 (Leopard) and apparently the new Lion OSX "..no longer supports PowerPC based applications."
I had no intention of upgrading to Logic 9 but thought I probably would if it was reasonably priced, however, I can't find anywhere online that sells a Logic 8 to 9 upgrade (it appears to have been discontineud) and the full version is over £400! I can't speak to anyone from apple till next week as its Christmas.
I want to know:
A. if there is any way of getting Logic 8 to work on Lion (please don't say to get an OSX update as I have the latest 10.7.2 and it definitely doesn't work)
B. if there is anyway to upgrade to the full Logic Pro 9 (including MainStage 2, Soundtrack Pro 3, 40 software instrument plug-ins, over 80 effect plug-ins, WaveBurner 1.6, Compressor 3.5, Impulse Response Utility, Apple Loops Utility, QuickTime 7 Pro) for a fraction of the full price.
C. if anyone else has had the same problem and how it was resolved (e.g. did Apple offer you Logic Pro 9 for free/significantly reduced cost?).
Advanced thanks to anyone who can shed some light (and hopefully good news) on this most distressing subject!!

The general consensus is that LP8 won't run on Lion - as you know. This has been discussed here so try a search.
Otherwise, Apple just released Logic in the app store for I think £129 or something so it's not that much to buy now. I'm not sure if they're offering an upgrade path which is cheaper, but check the app store.

New Lion e-mail issues

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That could be the problem for now.

After upgrading to Lion, Mac MAIL won't import address book!!

After a LONG download of the Lion upgrade, I find that I can't import my old address list from Mac MAIL. Anybody have this problem? Also can't setup any email accounts in Mac MAIL, manually or by import. This was no problem at all with SL.

Robert,
vCard is a sort of standard that can be used in many addressbook-like applications.
Exactly how do you attach them?
Do you export the vcards from AB and then send them as attachment in Mail?
They should be included inyour mail without problem, and on the receiving end, when they have a program that support vCards, they should have no problem importing them.
Mail does it almost automatically, just double clicking will send it to your AB.
.MAc will not think it is a virus.
Do you have just address data in there or do you have something in the Notes field that messed it up?

Multiple exchange accounts under Lion Mac Mail?

My wife is making the switch back to Mac after having to have a Windows only machine for work. Currently she has Office 2010 for Windows and is able to set up two exchange accounts under it.
I checked around and could not find a current definitive answer, but is Mac Mail on Lion able to support two exchange accounts?
Thanks for your help.

Lion Mac Mail Yahoo IMAP issues

Each time I lauch Mac Mail on my Mac (running OS X 10.7.4), it downloads my entire inbox (thousands of messages) from the Yahoo IMAP mail server. Also, when sending emails, Mac Mail does not always create a copy on the Yahoo mail server. Sometime the copy is there and sometime it isn't.
Anyone else having this issue?

This is definitely not Yahoo-specific, nor is it new. Definitely seems to be a bug in Mail.app. This has been happening at least since 10.5 (am now on 10.8.2), and I have a GoDaddy hosted IMAP account.
Same symptoms...I delete emails on my Mac in Mail.app. I've gotten into the habit of forcing a manual sync. The emails disappear from the Mac, but several minutes or sometimes many minutes later, if I look on my iPhone or iPad, the messages have not been deleted. If I subsequently go look on my Mac, or at the server through a webmail browser - they're back.
However, if I delete the emails from my iPhone or iPad - they really do get deleted.
As stated up above - quitting and reopening Mail.app can force a real sync that gets things going back in sync...it seems like maybe Mail.app somehow forgets to actually sync...so when this starts happening - i.e. I notice deleted emails still appear on my iPad - if I quit mail and reopen it, it also shows the previously deleted email. So the symptoms seem like there is a "cache" of actions (deletes) in Mail.app that is not getting processed to the server. When you quit, this list seems to get flushed and whatever is causing Mail.app not to sync to the server gets remedied and on restart, the not-deleted emails show up because Mail.app now syncs with the server. Occasionally it seems Mail.app somehow can come out of this without being restarted...I'm not sure if that happens when it's "kicked" by some other event, e.g. an incoming message, to sync.
Extremely annoying.

Lion Mac Mail: Re: New email showing up as an old email from a complete different address

It's a tad strange. I got an email from a friend say "Mary". I saw her name and the subject line just fine but when I opened it, it showed an email from another friend say "Nate" from over a year and a half ago! His name was in the from and the email address was just as it was so many months ago. I tried a search for the same email from Nate-- it showed up once with his name in my archives and as the content of Mary's email. I checked my iphone. Mary's email was there and fully intact. I read the new email she sent with no problem. It seems that for some reason this new email has it's wires crossed, like for some reason it wishes it was from Nate instead. (Granted, Nate's email was definitely more exciting-- but Mary's wasn't too shabby either.) Le confusing! Never happened before or since.
Anyone got a clue?

Yes, but did you check your present IP, or the last one?
I'm also wondering if it could have anything to do iwth the fact that I have very big inboxes & sent mail boxes.
Not likely.
Wasn't sure if rebuilding my mailboxes might help - my mail program isn't finding files properly either.
Not likely to do with the sending problem, but...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

New to mac, mail doesn't work

just got my first mac,tried to set up mail. i can bring up the mail with user id but it doesn't accept my password. any way to reset it, or any ideas?
imac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

More info on exactly what steps you are taking to "bring up" Mail & what you see will help us help you.
That said, it sounds like you might be confusing your OS X user account & its password (what gives you access to the computer) with an email account identity & its password (what gives you access to an account with an email service such as .Mac).
When you turned on your Mac for the first time, you were asked to establish a user account by entering a long & short name for the account & a password used to access that account. These could be anything you like.
When you set up an email account, you must do something similar, but the two are not the same. You must sign up for a free or paid email account with some provider & establish your user identity & password with that provider before you can use it with Mail.

Really need Snow Leopard on my new lion mac mini

Any chance of being to install Snow Leopard via bootcamp in Lion?
I can't use some programes anymore.

Depending on the model, you may or may not be able to install and run it on a second partition or external drive. If you're willing to pay for a copy of Mac OS X Server 10.6, you can run it in emulation through a product such as VirtualBox.
Boot Camp is for setting up Windows. The Disk Utility can create a partition for other purposes.

Lion Mac Mail

Is there a way when replying to have the message header from the reply to email included (Sender, Date, Topic etc)? When forwarding this happens, but not when replying!

I just updated the code and posted it at a temporary site http://www.teamshowyour.com/file-cabinet/ReplyWithHeader.mailbundle.zip. If you want to try it, please feel free.
Note the installations steps are the following (mostly the same as purdue.edu):
1. Quit Mail.app
2. Save and unzip the attachment in ~/Library/Mail/Bundles (create the directory if missing) Unzipping will create ReplyWithHeaders.mailbundle - copy this to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
3. In the terminal type: defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool true
4. Restart Mail.app and reply to a message.
Let me know if you run into any problems.
