No 'new mail' counter in dock and sender address overwriting

All of the sudden, new mail doesn't cause the icon in the dock to show the indicator/counter. I have tried resetting mail by throwing out previous settings, plists, etc. but it still isn't there. I also tried reinstalling the latest Tiger combined update. Still didn't work.
In addition, when I look at mail, the sender's name/address is displayed almost on top of the subject heading.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? I have also done the usual permissions repair, Disk Utility Repair and even TechTool Pro Repair
20" intel iMac 2GHz, 2 GB memory Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Everything is back to normal, although just performing the Font Book reset didn't work.
I looked at all the fonts on my MacBook (in Font Book) and compared it with all the fonts that were on my iMac. Times and Helvetica were not there ( but there were Times CY, and Helvetica CY whatever they are!) There were some others as well. So I added them in using Font Book (rather than just dragging them to the respective Font folders) and now all is right with the world.
Thanks!

Mail hang with multiple pop accounts and invalid new mail counter

All
More than a year ago, I migrated all email accounts from Outlook to Apple Mail using O2M application. I have 2 pop accounts and gmail account. Everything worked fine for a few month but then Mail started to hang during message receiving. It did so very often (4/5 times). When it does, nothing will revive it except a "force quit".
I tried to fetch email from each account individually, that worked well every time. After I was sure that it has to do with getting new mail simultaneously, I tried everything to fix it. I tried to reconstruct all the mail boxes, I tried using only 2 boxes with all combinations (1 pop 1 gmail, 2 pop, etc) but nothing worked.
I even tried to export all my mail boxes, then delete everything from Mail then reimport them with no luck.
In addition, a couple of months later, my "Inbox" new mail counter started to sometimes displaying the wrong new mail count. It displays 2-4 new messages while there is none. In order to be sure, I created a smart mail box to have only new mail and it had none. By simply switching to any other folder then returning back to Inbox solves the problem.
Can any one help?

Make absolutely sure that your email addresses and configuration are correct. In nearly every case I've encountered, this is the problem.
If you've confirmed this, make sure you're configured properly on your webmail account, if you have one. Webmail is something like ATT, the source of your internet.
If you're still flummoxed, play hardball. Make sure you have all your current account info and passwords, and delete them in Mail/Preferences/Accounts. Then, reenter them one by one until they're perfect. This makes sure your settings are consistent and correct.

ICloud new mail count badge not working in Mail v 5.2 Lion but is working in Mountain Lion on other machines

I've upgreded 2 of my 3 computers to Mountain Lion, and all seems fine on those 2 machines, but on my older Mac Pro which is not compatible with Mountain, I'm having a problem where the new mail count badge is not showing up either on the iCloud mail box or as part of my total in the dock count badge. New mail badges is showing up for my other mail boxes, just not iCloud. I've removed my iCloud inbox, and have re-enabled it and it's still not working. If I had the problem right at the time I installed Mountain Lion on my other 2 computers, I didn't notice it, so I don't think this problem is related to Mountain Lion on my other machines.

Glenn,
Regarding adding and deleting the System Drive from the Spotlight Privacy Tab...... I'm following your sequence, but when I come back to Spotlight Search in the menu bar it just works the same.... no mention of indexing. What's interesting is that "Mail" dosn't appear anywhere in search results when a keyword search is performed via spotlight.
Regarding the "enevelope Index Files" ..... I followed the instructions and quit and re-opened mail as instructed. When I re-opened Mail I selected "continue" and the program began to index the contents of mail for about 30 minutes. I thought that would would fix the issue, but it's still not working.
I've tried to compare the account setup from my IMAC which works fine to see if I have something setup wrong in the account, but everything looks the same.
I guess I can try to re-index again? Don't know what else to do?
Thanks,
Bill

Mail not showing new mail count

Very recently, Mail has stopped showing the new mail count next to the corresponding inbox on the bar on the left side of Mail. There are new emails sitting in the indox but it doesn't show a count. I upgraded to Mavericks and it there were no issues but now this is happening. Any ideas why?

Incoming_Mail
IncomingTable_ofContents
Yes, these can also be removed. Tiger Mail no longer uses them. You can confirm this by looking at their modification date. It should be no later than the date you imported your Panther mail into Tiger mail.

The New Mail page no longer has an "Address" icon at the top. What happened?

Big --
Go up to the "View" menu, and pull down the "Columns" and "Sort by" menu options. Do you see what you want there? When you say "Address" do you mean "From?"
Just saw BDA's response.
Are you talking about Safari, or the Mail app?

Mail Dock icon "new mail" count wrong

The Mail icon in my dock shows 11 new mails. I open Mail and there is no new mail. The icon then shows none, then a bit later it shows 11 again. If I get a real new mail it will show 12 new mails. The actual number of new mail adds to the phantom 11.

Problems with attachments going corrupt from Mail in the dock when sending?

I have had my Mac G5 Tower at home now for a couple of years now and have always had a problem with sending attachments to any one from my .mac account with mail in the dock.
The error massage people would tell they were getting from the files that I attached were (The file is damaged and cold not be repaired). I also tried emailing the same attachment to my self and got the same results.
I always got around this at home by emailing the attachments via web .mac account from apple’s web site this is not an ideal solution.
Using the same .mac account and mail from the dock on my Mac at work no problems at all.
I thought by upgrading from panther to tiger that this would help, I am still having the same trouble.
Can anyone out there help.
Thanks

Dual 1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thank you Justin for your response. Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been unable to log in to my forum account since the first time even though I'd verified my user name, reset the password (everything I could think of). Many hours (literally) on hold with almost every support department at Verizon hasn't resolved the login problem...so I've created a new username with my other email address. I know that creating a new account probably isn't the kosher solution, but my frustration level with Verizon phone suport on this has gone over the top as no one department seems to claim any knowledge of how to help with forum issues and passes me off to somewhere else.
I am using IE 7.0. I only have the problem when I am viewing my emails via the Verizon webmail. When I download the emails to Outlook on my desktop, there are no problems. In webmail, if I have an email showing in the preview pane that has links and I click on that email (in the preview pane), the linked website opens and I can't close it or do anything else. I can't even switch to viewing other emails in my inbox in the preview pane. I can right click on the email showing in the preview pane and select to open in a new window, but if I left click the link activates right there in the preview pane.

Mac Mail: Unread mail counter on dock icon shows "phantom" unread mails

The mailconter of my Mac Mail icon on the dock shows 25 unread messages, but I'm unable to find these inside Mac Mail as unread messages.
I did check all mailboxes and their subfolders for any undread messages that might be inside them, but I didn't find any.
Is there any way to reset or recalculate the unread mail counter for the dock icon?

Hi Robert
The proposed rebuild did suddenly reveal the 25 unread mails insinde my archive mailfolders. By marking these as read again now shows the correct count of unread mails on the dock icon.
Thanks a lot, your hint was most helpful!

Erich

New mail count for Inbox showing stopped activity icon

Recently, the mail count for new (unread) messages on my primary (Inbox) folders shows a stopped activity icon, i.e. the clockwise spinning wheel or whatever you call that thing. Has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so, what are the possible causes and fixes?
TIA, and happy holidays.

Fixed in a follow-up release.

F110 - Pre-notification by E-Mail: How to change the sender address

Hi experts,
by executing pre-notifications in F110 an e-mail is generated. The sender e-mail address is set from sap user (master data) who has executed pre-notification. This is the current setting.
Now the sender e-mail address has to be a static e-mail address not the address from user master data. Independent from user who is executing f110 there has to be the same (static) sender address.
I tried to use business transaction events, 2040. So I copied the standard function modules, assigned them to the events and set some breakpoints in the function modules without any success.
Additionally I executed F110 (pre-notification) in debugging mode and set dynamical breakpoints at the new created function modules - again without any success.
Does anyone has an idea what's going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

Migrate WSUS server from 2003x86 to 2008x64, new hardware, use same name and IP address?

Searching through the WSUS forums and reading the TechNET migration documentation, I have bits and pieces of information to make this a smooth transition...I think. I have a plan in mind but
would like the communities input on what I am thinking before moving forward and having it blowup in my face :). <o:p></o:p>
I have the following currently:<o:p></o:p>
A single WSUS 3.0 SP2 server, running on Server Win2003x86, using the default WID (susdb.mdf) on the same server. I have SQL 2005 Express installed on this server as well for other services
but this has no bearing on the WID correct?<o:p></o:p>
What I would like to do:<o:p></o:p>
I have a new server (a much better one) that I would like to move WSUS on to, that will be running Server Win2008x64 (I have to setup first). <o:p></o:p>
Steps that I would like to follow:<o:p></o:p>
1. I will go through and setup this new server with all M$ updates etc... under a new name (ex. wsusnew) and DHCP acquired IP address and then power it down. <o:p></o:p>
2. Get on my current WSUS server and backup all current WSUS settings, groups, DB etc... to a network location for temporary storage. Then power it down.<o:p></o:p>
3. Delete the current WSUS server computer object in AD, DNS entry I will leave because my intension is to give the same IP address to the new WSUS server.<o:p></o:p>
4. Start the new server, static assign the IP address from the old WSUS server to this new server and then change the name of (wsusnew) to the old servers name, which should be ok sense I deleted
the AD object in step 3.<o:p></o:p>
5. After the obvious restart, the new server will have the same name and IP address as the old server. <o:p></o:p>
6. Now that the new server is up (with same settings name/IP as old server), I will then go through and install the WSUS role on the server and restore my WSUS information.<o:p></o:p>
Questions:<o:p></o:p>
1. Step 2 above, is it possible to do this, without making replica servers? I kept reading about this as I was researching doing this, I would rather just copy the DB and folders and simply
put them in-place on the new server.<o:p></o:p>
2. Step 6 above, restoring of the data, what is the proper way to do this in the scenarioI described? <o:p></o:p>
Thank you to anyone who can provide me some information.
Jeff

Thank you for the reply, I will follow and let you know. Proabably be next week sometime before I'm able to try though. So look for a reponse then. Thank you again.
Jeff
OR...
You can use the much more simple, much more reliable, and much more proven method of:
Install new server as a replica of the old.
Replicate.
Configure new server as upstream server.
Point clients to new server.
Turn off old server after all clients have redirected to the new server.
For everybody that has tried the backup/restore the database procedure described above, they have encounted complications of one form or another.
WSUS has a built-in and fully supported comprehensive replication capbility. use it! :-)

Mail set TO field and send question...

Hello,
I need a little AppleScript help with Mail. Let's say I have an open outgoing mail message and I want to set the "to" field. How do I do this? Remember, this is with an existing open outgoing message, not an outgoing message I'm creating via AppleScript. Actually, I'm creating the message with the redirect AppleScript command, which is supposed to return an outgoing message, but it's broke and doesn't.
I know I can use System Events to post keystrokes, but there has to be a better way.
Also, is there a way to "Send" the message via AppleScipt? I know I can use the UI commands to select the menu item or push the button, but is there a way to send without relying on the GUI?
Thanks,
Allan

Ummm, the script seems to do nothing. I would think it would create a new message and address it to [email protected], but it just does nothing.
When I'm looking for is help to address an already open new message. For example:
Open Mail
Create a new message
Switch to Script Editor
Run a script that addresses the new message
Spcifically what I'm doing is trying to redirect a message. Here's how aI have to do it now:
tell application "Mail"
activate
set theRedirectRecipient to "[email protected]"
set theSanityCheckNumber to 30
set theCount to 0
set selection_list to selection
repeat with one_item in selection_list
set theID to (message id of one_item)
-- skip it if it was already redirected
set theHeaders to the name of the header of one_item
if theHeaders does not contain "resent-to" then
redirect one_item with opening window
delay 1 -- mail can get confused, so slow down a little
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Mail"
keystroke theRedirectRecipient
end tell
end tell
--delay 1 -- mail can get confused, so slow down a little
-- send the mesage
tell me to do_menu("Mail", "Message", "Send")
--delay 1 -- mail can get confused, so slow down a little
-- see if we should continue
-- if mail or this script does something screwy, we can abort here
set theCount to theCount + 1
if theCount mod theSanityCheckNumber is 0 then
tell me
activate
display dialog "We've redirected " & theCount & " of " & (count of items in selection_list) & ". Continue?"
end tell
tell application "Mail" to activate
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
on domenu(appname, menu_name, menu_item)
try
-- bring the target application to the front
tell application app_name
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process app_name
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item menu_name
tell menu menu_name
click menu item menu_item
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
return true
on error error_message
return false
end try
end do_menu
