New Mail User; Several features different from entourage

Just switched from Entourage to Mail on my new Macbook. There are a few conveniences on Entourage that I couldn't find on Mail.
When reading an open message, there is not immediate way to go to next or previous message; have to close the open message, switch to upper pane to highlight new message and then open it. In entourage you could just press next or previous and open the next message in sequence.
I'm not sure how to format my outgoing messages. In entourage you can specify the width of the email; I don't see how to do it in Mail; it seems to depend on size of the window the new message is in. Is there a way to specify the width of a message?
While organizing my incoming mail, I use the "move to" command under the message heading; message goes to correct folder but a copy also remains in the inbox. If I repeat same command immediately, the inbox message is gone but I have two copies in the folder where I sent it.
Thanks for any help.

I've been thinking of making the switch but when I tried it under Tiger, Apple Mail did not import the links between messages. For example, I can look at an email in Entourage and tell if I replied. I can click a link and view the reply. Not so in previous Apple Mail.

You can only use one credit card to one Apple ID.

Mail 2 crashes while importing from Entourage X

Hello all:
I am trying to move over from Entourage X to Mail/Address Book/iCal under Tiger. However, when I try to run the import from Entourage feature in Mail, I am unable to import my mail files from Entourage.
Specifically, the problem I'm having is that Mail crashes mid-way through the import process. When I restart Mail, it attempts to re-start the import process but crashes again. If I hit "Cancel" I can see part of my folder structure under the "Import" folder, but no mail messages in it.
One possibility is that my Mail database in Entourage is very large, with thousands of mail messages and a fairly complicated folder structure. Based on the progress bar, I estimate a total import would take about an hour or so. The crash appears to happen 10-15 minutes into the import process.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I might be able to get around this? I would very much like to switch over to Mail - I assume that it is a better application than Entourage.
Thanks,
Sohil

Let’s fix the second problem first. Step 4 in the procedure below will cause Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again. Hence, before proceeding, you my want to delete from the server any messages you don’t want to be downloaded again.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Two alias in Mail: how to show different "from" names?

I've been reading various threads about aliases in mail, but none have exactly described my situation. What I want to be able to do is set up aliases in my one account and have the mail shown as "from" a different name depending on which alias I've used.
Here's my current set-up:
Account Type: POP
Description: POP account
Email address: [email protected], [email protected]
Full Name: myname & mywifesname
Incoming mail server: pop.domain.com
username: xxxxx
password: xxxxx
outgoing mail server: smtp.domain.com
So, we can each send email "from" our own email address, but they're all marked as from "myname & mywifes name". How do I change it so if I select "[email protected]" the mail is shown as simply from "myname" and vice versa.
I understand from reading other threads that the one thing I can't do is set up a separate account for each, as they will both have the same incoming server and username. (Which was exactly what I could do back in the dark ages of Outlook Express.)

Unless you really just absolutely want to have your sent emails say they're from "Trevor C" or from "Trevor C's Spouse", you could just delete the full name entry from that account in Mail's Preferences (i.e., set full name field to null), and then any sent messages' "from" address will simply appear as being from [email protected] or from [email protected], depending on which "account" (alias) you selected in the "Account" pull-down menu. This would be, I think, the easiest patch for you to implement.
People who get email from me get mail from "[email protected]" and not from "J.V." Personally, I hate the full name crap and wish there were a way to display the "from" field in my inbound message viewer pane in email address format, rather than full name format. But that's just me.

Move New Mail, Sent Iteam, Calender ETC from Exchange Server to PST Automatically in OUTLOOK 365

I have recently upgraded from office 2003 to new 365 office. In outlook 2003 all the iteams of exchange server in Outlook was automatically moving to my default PST. But in new outlook it is not moving automatically to PST.
Now creating rule is one option for INBOX new mail but what about new calenter meeting and sent iteams ?
Why microsoft has removed this facilty ? what is best way to do that ? Echange server had limited capacity and it is slower comparared to using PST directly.
Please advice.

Hi,
The option to delivery Exchange emails to pst file has been removed in Outlook 2013. This is because corporations allow for larger Exchange mailboxes, and we can also use online archive or AutoArchive to offload the Exchange mailbox to a pst-file.
However, if you still want to do this for sent items, we can create the following rule to achieve the goal:
1. Click Home tab > Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts.
2. Click New Rule button.
3. Select Apply rule on messages I send, and click Next.
4. Tick the through the specified account check box.
5. Click on specified to select your Exchange account.
6. Tick the check box "move a copy to the specified folder".
7. click on specified to select a folder in a pst-file.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve Fan

Mail fails to get new mail in a timely manner from IMAP servers

I Use IMAP mail servers. One is Gmail, several are under my own control. Each exhibit the same intermittent issue
First versions: Mail Version 8.2 (2070.6), current Yosemite
Symptoms:
New messages exist on the servers. I can see it using a web interface. At times the Mail client refuses to download it, not for ever, but for ages and ages. I have had a delay of up to a dozen hours. The activity window shows normal activity. When it gets stuck like this only three things will achieve download of the messages:
Elapsed time, often lengthy, always unpredictable
Usually, not always, synchronising the mailboxes
Quit and restart of Mail on the client
This all started with the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Yosemite (one jump). At this point Mail itself as a client became unresponsive, and has never improved.

Hi
I've just upgraded to 10.5 and cannot send messages in Eudora - have spent hours reading forums and it seems that many people think it's over and gone, not worth spending time to get it working - and the 8 beta is completely different coding. Looked at Thunderbird, but I want to be able to thread answers between questions in different colours, bold etc and it doesn't seem to allow that unless using HTML, which I don't want to do. So I'm trying Mail, but have two basic problems I can't find answers to:
Is it possible to deepen the Inbox window? It shows only about 11 emails, which is driving me mad - I can't see at a glance all the emails that have come in during a day and know whether I have dealt with them.
And when I select an incoming email it immediately opens, meaning I can't delete emails unread, which really won't do! This can't be how it is set to work, as contravenes advice not to open emails if they look suspicious.
I've been using Eudora since 1996 and am lost without it. All help gratefully received! Thanks
Clara

+OK, Control + click = Right click+
Aaahh! Well, I've only been using a Mac since 1988! Paid a One to One sub to the local Apple Store to do data transfer to new computer, but also thought the one-hour sessions might be useful as I only find out what I need to do and never explore to discover what else might be available that I never even knew existed. Guy in the store splitting the screen into four prompted that.
+What happens with yours in Leo exactly?+
It won't send - I just get the queueing symbol. Tried in both 6.2.3 and 6.2.4 and got the same result. So many different solutions offered in the forums, people still struggling, others saying that Snow Leopard will be here shortly and finish it off altogether so I thought it may be better to find something else rather than waste time on something shortlived. Oddly, in 6.2.3 in OSX 10.4 I never did find my in and out boxes - people on the forum were offering other bewildered enquirers two different places where they would be, but neither worked for me and a Spotlight search for Eudora never came up with the folder containing the in and out boxes. The Eudora settings, address book etc didn't make it through the data transfer, and neither did the vast emails boxes - the only solution I can see is to go back to the old tower (2001, both customers and staff in the store were saying 'Look at that!' fondly as if to an Austin 30 spotted on the motorway - except that that would be 50-odd years old, not eight . . .), open every email and mail myself those I really want to keep. Which is not a bad exercise in clearing out, except that I have work to do (the details of which are, I fervently hope, still in the more recent emails in the old tower). At least I can find the Eudora mailboxes created since Friday in Leopard.
If Mail is your least favourite option, which is your most favourite one? I'm concerned by the threads on this forum of Mail incoming mail just disappearing. Maybe I should phone Demon support tomorrow and see if I can get Eudora sending in the hope that it will survive Snow Leopard in spite of what people are saying.
Have a nice Sunday. Think I'll sow some salad seeds to distract myself from throwing all four Macs out of the window. Thanks very much for your help.

New mail when opened shows different mail for over one year ago!!

When a new message arrives, opening it shows a message from over one year ago! I even forwarded a corrupted message to another account and it was the same old message. However, on MobileMe and my IPhone, the new message is correct.
What's going on?

UPTIL NOW...While using Peachtree Accounting, I click Email and it takes me to windows live mail account. NOW it wants me to set up a new mail address through some WIZARD from Firefox. How do I get back to my previous setup? can I just delete Firefox?

see above

Were you previously loading Windows Live Mail in an earlier version of Firefox or in Internet Explorer?
If it was Firefox 3.6, either your settings did not carry over or an add-on associated with this function was incompatible and therefore disabled.
If it was IE, do you want to continue using IE as your default browser?

Moving mail users to IMAP from POP. Issues with sent messages disappearing

Our mail server has been working well for several years, running currently on Mac OX 10.4.10 (Xserve G5). All user accounts have always been setup for pop and imap in WGM but we have just recently started to move client settings to IMAP. No changes to the mail settings in server admin except opening the firewall to include port 993 for imap ssl.
The issue is that all users appear to loose the sent mail records when using the apple mail apps. After a message has been sent, the message record stays in the Apple generated sent box for that account and then disappears (presumably after syncing with the server).
The mail app "account" settings shows that sent messages are to be stored on the server and never to be deleted (in mailbox behavior).
If you do a "get info" on the mailbox,sent messages don't show on the server either under "Sent". I also created an additional mailbox "Sent Messages" to be used as sent mailbox location. mailbox shows up on the server, but no mail is added when sent from the apple mail app.
Now, I would have assumed this to be an issue of the client app, but the behavior is consistent across several machines and also on new mail app configurations.
When using Entourage with the same account however, the server works as anticipated and all sent messages are stored on the server (in the "Sent Messages" box). Any Entourage sent messages also show up in the "Sent Messages"mail box of the apple mail apps.
When using iphones, the behavior is somewhat unclear. The iphone mail settings (under advanced) show the "server" selected ("Sent Messages") for sent mail, yet the actual iphone mail app lists that folder as just "Sent". When sending messages, that mailbox shows the Entourage sent messages and iphone sent messages, but the iphone messages never appear on the server.
This only happens on sent messages; inbox, drafts, deleted and junk mail boxes work perfect. This also happen on any imap client account I setup, not just a specific one.
Any suggestions? Any setting I am overlooking? Using Entourage for all users is not an option...
Thanks for any help...

Please see my post and how it was resolved:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1181356&tstart=0
When I had that issue, I tried using Apple Mail app and noticed that Sent Mails are getting lost. Try sending an email using WebMail. You might see similar "Permission Denied" error. Try restarting the server and see if the issue still exists.

After moving from Entourage to Mail - a few questions.

I have just switched over from using Entourage 2008 to Mail, and so far I am happy (especially because of the better stability), but had a few questions about using Mail.app:
- In the list of mail items, how do I (can I?) select the last email in the list? In Entourage, I could press End and it would do that - now End just moves the list down but does not change the selection.
- I use IMAP, and I would like an option to just check the Inbox for new mail, not several seemingly arbitrary sub-folders, which is what happens when I choose Get New Mail for that mailbox.
- Mail.app is not honoring my Manually setting for Check Mail for my IMAP folders - it checks for new messages regardless. How can this be stopped?
- I don't like the relative dates ("Yesterday," "Today" etc) in the message lists - how can these be turned off?
Thanks for any pointers here.

One other question - is there an (elegant) way to set up a send-only email account? I have a forwarding account which I would like to be able to "send from," but I can't/don't receive at.

New positition number of PCR differs in Portal from SAP Backend

Hi,
There is a critical scenario in our MSS PCR form. Manager initiated a Poition transfer for an emplyee. After all approvals when we are opening the from in IQS23 it is showing a new position number which is different from when we click on Display form which opens in Portal.
In brief the new position number is not same when we see it in SAP backend through IQS23 and when we see from Display Form Action link which takes us in Portal. And importantly this is happening with one user only.
Can anybody help me on this urgently?
Regards
Chandu

Hi Siddarth,
Thanks for your reply. Yes we are using PCR forms and not HCM forms.
Thanks

User presence feature for Lync

Hi all,
I have deployed Lync Server 2010 without exchange.
I need USER PRESENCE feature alone from exchange.
Could anyone tell me a Exchange deployment path to do this?
I heard that providing a exchange mail box to all the user will provide this presence feature.
Thanks and Regards,
ArunKumar.J

Agree with Georg, you will get user presence without Exchange, it should know when you're in a conference, know when you're away, and you can manually set it. What Exchange gets you is presence updates based upon items in your calendar. If you
deploy mailboxes for each user, they would need to start using and schedulign meetings in the calendar. If Lync sees a meeting in the Exchange calendar, the presence will change to Busy during this time.

Tiscali mail works fine with Internet explorer saying "you have 3 new mails in your inbox", with Firefox 5.0 it says "you have undefined new mails in your inbox". I cannot proceed beyond this point. Please advise david.tose@tiscali.co.uk

Internet Explorer + Tiscali mail gives message "you have 3 new mails in your inbox (18% full)". Mail interaction OK
Firefox 5.0 (freshly installed) + Tiscali mail gives message "you have undefined new mails in your inbox''. From here I cannot proceed.
Is there a mail handler problem that causes Firefox 5.0 to fail?

Yep, exactly the same problem only on W2K SP4. Firefox5 doesn't work but IE (on the same machine) does.
Sorry, I'm not sure what version version of IE is being used.
(It's the PC at work that has the problem and I'm writing this at home on my linux box which has Firefox version 3.6.18 for linux mint - which also works fine.)
I really hope this can be fixed soon.
Andy.
