New Message or Forwarding Bug??

This issue has happened intermittently... when i wish to forward a email message i usually type the first letter and it will give me a list based upon my address book entries. This appears to have a bug that i will get a list of email contacts that are NOT in my address book. As a matter of fact none of my address book email contacts pops up. This also is the case when creating a new email. This is weird and i cant seem to get my head around this one to fix it.

First of all have you checked the Previous Recipients list -- Window, choose Previous Recipients. If you are satisfied that all contacts you care about are in the primary AB, then you can remove all those in the Previous Recipients list.
I have not seen the difference in this behavior with Forward vs New Message, btw.

I've lost the "Send, Reply All, Attach,..." etc bar and drop down options for New Messages and Forwarded messages. How do I get it back?

I only get the option to "Send" etc. (either as an icon at the top of the message window, or in the messages drop-down menu) on messages to which I am replying, but not to new messages or forwarded messages. How do I get the options back?

I think your main mail pref file is damaged...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Specifically...
<key>NSToolbar Configuration MainWindow</key>
          <dict>
                    <key>TB Display Mode</key>
                    <integer>1</integer>
                    <key>TB Icon Size Mode</key>
                    <integer>1</integer>
                    <key>TB Is Shown</key>
                    <integer>0</integer>
(Last number should be 1 to be shown, zero to be hidden, so either that number is zero, or it quits reading the file before it gets to that point).

Black box or line appears in New Message when forwarding MS Word or PDF doc

Strange thing...
Ever since I formatted and rebuilt my iMac and MacBook Pro last week with Snow Leopard, Mac Mail is acting funny. When I forward a document from MS Word or Acrobat Reader, I get a large black box or black line in the New Message line which wipes out my signature. I have a screen shot but I don't see a way to post it with my inquiry.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am experiencing the same problem. It does not happen when I drag a PDF from Finder into a new Mail message. It does happen, though, when I try to "Mail Selected PDF Document" from Preview. The problem didn't start until I installed Safari 5.
My workaround for right now when I see the black box in Mail is to: select all, cut, hit delete (this gets rid of the last strip of black), then paste. This re-places the PDF without any kind of black box.
Fingers are crossed that this gets fixed sooner rather than later....

I can't create new messages or forward or reply any e-mails. If i use IE it works fine, but not in Firefox. Why?

* running windows vista home
* firefox 4

I contacted them and they said its not on their end at all.

Cannot send new mails neither forward, but can reply (without adding new recipients) - HELP!

Hi all.
I have a very annoying problem. Sudenly, when I start typing a name in field "to" when composing an e-mail, the BB doesn't lookup in the device address book! This happens in new messages or forwarding. Also, even if I try to manually type the address the BB does not recognize it.
However, I can reply but not add new recipients.
Even the SEND option dissapear.
I googled the issue but cannot find an answer. It is worth mentioning that the device is personal, not corporate.
I am not very sure, but I think the problem began when installing LinkedIn Application. I uninstalled but it did not fixed.
Thank you all!

Hello all!!
This is my first answer in BlackBerry Support Community.
I had the same problem, but searching I found this solution:

I toggled back and forth between the yes and no setting, and the autolookup works fine when set to "no" and stops working when set to "yes". Everytime.
Now, I'm not sure what the purpose of "show recent contact..." setting is. It doesn't do anything when set to "yes".
I hope that works for them, works for me.

When I want to write a "NEW" message the e-mail address won't appear in the To: bar.

When I want to write a "new" message the e-mail address to whom I'm writing will not come up in the "To" bar or it won't let me type in the address either. I can reply to a message but I can't send a "New" message or "Forward" a message.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

New Message, reply, or forward window does not open in Outlook for Mac 2011

New Message, reply, or forward window does not open in Outlook for Mac 2011
Outlook acts as if I am pressing a dummy button.

Hi friends,
I have the same problem.
Mountain Lion + Office 2011 + Safari 6.1.2 (8537.74.9)
It is not clear to me what is the relation between Safari and this problem.
I have Chrome installed as well and it is set as default browser. Is this involved?
If yes how can I solve the problem?
Please let me know.
Many thanks.
Best regards
Peval

Please tell how to do, that when I want to forward a message, a message opens in new tab, not in a new message window in thunderbird. Thanks.

Sorry, but at the moment 'Compose in a tab' isn't yet possible. You'll always get a new windows when composing or replying/forwarding a message.

Create New Message / Forward message annoying issue

I am trying to fix my mom's iphone 5 (ios 6.0.2).
Every time she tries to create a new message (sms), the text field is not empty (previously typed message a long time ago) when creating a new message.
Or when she tries to forward a message, the message is not copied in the text field. The previously typed message replaces the message to forward.
I have no idea how she did it, so i can't reproduce the problem.
i have searched for this issue in this site, and i have found a few similar posts that were not addressed.
Can anyone help me? This issue is quite annoying.

Thank you.

hi randers4, sorry for the late reply.
update:
1.resetting the settings did not fix it
2.erasing settings to new phone did fix it
3.restoring from back-up, the problem went back.

I am having a similar problem with 10.5.6 and the newest Mail app.
My IMAP accounts with the provider www.dotster.com, who seem to be using the open source 'Horde' as their server, seem to be working alright, but constantly give me the error message "The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server “mail10.dotsterhost.com” failed." even though I can receive email without issue. In general preferences I attempted increasing the number of minutes in the "Check for new mail:" setting, though this doesn't make the error go away.
In reading other threads, it seems you might try deselecting the "Use IDLE command..." checkbox, though for me these are always greyed-out and checked by default. You might also need to ensure the "IMAP Path Prefix:" is set as "INBOX". Again, this is just what I've gleaned from other threads.

Bug In Forum while posting new messages since weekend?

Hi all,
some people have some trouble posting message since the update try on weekend.
Look at this thread Bug In Forum while posting new messages?
Maybe this can be solved?
Regards, Tine.

Hello,
>> Right, so I am not the only one.
No, you are not the only one.
>> Maybe anybody of the responsible persons is reading this and can file a bug report.
I believe this is the proper place to complain - Community Feedback (No Product Questions) .
@Scott:
>> Also, I never saw any posting explaining why data was lost over the weekend, that efforts had been made to recover the lost data, or that efforts to recover the lost data had failed.
I absolutely agree with you. I know that the forum software is not developed by Oracle, still some words of explanation from the OTN guys is definitely in place, especially about the loss of data.
Regards,
Arie.

Upgraded to IOS 5, now mail on mac can not create a new message/forward or reply to any messages

I forwarded a message using my iPhone 5. Now, every time I send a new message (through Send A Message in the Contacts section), that forwarded message automatically appears in the message box (as if it were a template). How do I fix this?

If I send a message directly through Messages, that forwarded message does not appear in the message box.
But I would like to not have that message as the template for my texts.
How do I take this "template" out?
Thank youu!

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

I cannot expand (maximize) new windows for forwards and writing new messages

I am using the most recent version of Thunderbird on W7 laptop. When i attempt to forward an email it shows up as being there on the task bar (when you hover the mouse over the TB icon it shows all the new windows), I cannot maximize these new windows. It does the same thing when I try to create a new message. I can see the thumbnail on the task bar but I cannot expand it. It lets me close it, but that's it. I can read emails fine unless I double-click them. It opens the message in a new window but I cannot expand it.
Any ideas?

Do you have the option to activate/ have focus on the window which the mouse is hovering over? I'm thinking that if you have this option selected then the main TB window may stay in focus because that is where the mouse pointer is pointing?
If you click on 'Write' and you see the Write icon in bottom Task Bar, this sounds like the window has opened but it is either:
Not got focus, so it is hidden behind the main thunderbird interface or another opened window.
or it has opened in minimised state, so is not behind other opened windows.
'''First test: '''
Click on Write to open a new Write message.
Minimise Thunderbird, so it shows as icon on bottom Task Bar.
Can you see the open Write window?
If yes, then the Write message window is not getting focus.
If no
click on the Write icon in the Task Bar does it then open?
If yes, then the Write window is opening in a minimised state.
When you right click on the Write window icon in the bottom task bar, please list all options available - not the greyed out ones.
What results did you get?
Second Test: Restart Thunderbird in Safe mode.
Help > Restart with Addons disabled
Now test:
click on Write - did Write window open in the front in focus.
If yes then it is likely that an addon is causing a conflict.
You would need to test by gradually enabling addons/extensions until you find the one which is causing the problem.
So, restart thunderbird, then go to Tools > Addons disable all the addons and then enable one at a time to see when the error occurs. This will tell you which Addon is causing the problem.
Maybe the addon needs updating.
Please report back on results.
In both thunderbird Safe mode and normal mode, does Ctrl+N open a new Write window in focus ?

Forward selected email messages as attachments to a new message

Hi all! My ISP asks that we forward junk mail back to them as an attachment to a mail message. Their destination email address is static and does not change. Does anyone know a way to use automator to forward selected mail message(s) as attachments to a new message? I can't figure it out, but then, that's true of many of my problems. Thanks!

James,
I saw your question about getting music out of a music video but that question was archived so I couldn't answer it there. Audio Hijack Pro would be able to do it for you >>http://www.rogueamoeba.com/<<. You can d-load it & use it in demo mode for free for up to 10 minutes of hijacking I believe.
