Not really a Mail.app problem...but...

...I'm having problems sending email to ANY Hotmail accounts.
All get bounced with the following message (where anybody123 is the account name):
<[email protected]>:
Connected to 65.54.245.72 but sender was rejected.
Remote host said: 550 Your e-mail was rejected for policy reasons on this gateway. Reasons for rejection may be related to content such as obscene language, graphics, or spam-like characteristics (or) other reputation problems. For sender troubleshooting information, please go to http://postmaster.msn.com. Please note: if you are an end-user please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for assistance.
I have been in touch with msn support, but no one has got back to me yet. I'm not a spammer, the mail I'm trying to send is actually in reply to my clients mail. It's a magazine deadline looming and the majority of the copy I receive is from roving contributers using hotmail rather than static accounts, to whom I cannot, at the moment reply.
Any suggestions from the community gratefully received.
I'm UK based. The email that is being blocked is from the domain @davyart.co.uk, main account is [email protected]
NTL cable accessed through airport through a dlink router that plugs into the cable modem.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Glen.
Thanks for the input.
The issue is not that I am can't reply to the hotmail accounts as I run "belt and braces" email accounts, including a .mac account. I can reply, just not from my domain, which is an inconvenience at worst.
It is rather a plea for help as to how to get my domain unblocked by hotmail. I'm not a spammer or distributing dodgy material, I'm just trying to reply to hotmail received.
Anyone else experienced and resolved this?

How can I update the "Last Saved" time of individual notes in the Mail app

I have about 30 notes in my Mail app, which I conveniently sync to my iPhone via iTunes.
Problem is, the iPhone only sorts by modification date, whereas I want them sorted alphabetically.
If I knew where the individual notes files were located on the Mac, I could write a simple shell script to sort them and then touch the files to update the modification date.
I look in user/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Notes.mbox, but the individual notes files don't appear accessible.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish what I'm after?
TIA

I suppose you could copy it from the Raw Source. View>Message>Raw Source

Outgoing Mail not working with Mail.app in 10.5.7

I am helping my mom set up her email accounts on her new macbook laptop. It has 10.5.7
I have tried setting up two different email accounts in mail.app, one is a roadrunner webmail account, and the other is a gmail account. For the roadrunner account, I followed their instructions, which can be seen here: http://help.rr.com/HMSFaqs/eOSXmail.aspx
With the gmail account, mail.app was able to do the setup itself from the email address and password.
I know that the account information is partially correct because with both the accounts they were able to correctly download email onto the computer into mail.app. But both accounts have not been able to successfully send an email.
I can provide any other information about the settings used in the outgoing server or advanced information if it would be helpful.

This is so strange. The exact same thing happened to me yesterday. Suddenly, on my Mac and my PC, I was no longer able to SEND email. I am able to receive email...just not send. I too am a Comcast customer. I contacted Comcast and they, of course, said the problem had to do with the servers that my email client is trying to access and that it had nothing to do with them. We then set up my Comcast.net email account (which I never use) and it worked fine (sending and receiving).
So, I switched my other accounts to use Comcast's smtp server and that worked on the Mac only. I can now send email on my Mac but not on my PC.
This leads me to believe that it is not something wrong with my email client (since I have the problem on both my Mac and PC) but instead, something is up with Comcast.
I checked and it turns out that Comcast just implemented a new Acceptable Use Policy which specifically implements a NEW traffic management policy. This was JUST implemented this month. So, I am getting the sneaking suspicion that Comcast is somehow denying me access to those SMTP servers and I have to use their SMTP server instead.
Does this make any sense to anyone???? I am at a total loss here.
Thanks,
Susan

Mail app problem

My wife and I have seperate user accounts on the macbook. When I ran the mail app in her account it asked for some set up info, which we entered based on what was being used in her imac. Didn't do much with it for a day or two and then when I came back to it I was unable to connect to the defined POP server (Connection Doctor window showed POP login failing). After fiddling around a bit with no success I decided to delete the mail account info (via the - button from mail->preferences->acounts) and create a new one. The account info appeared to be deleted then but we got a multicolored spinning wheel that woudl not go away and ultimately had to force quit the mail app. Now when the mail app is launched all we get is the spinning wheel and all we can do is force quit the mail app. I tried to find out how to run the mail setup assistant again but could not find any info on how to run it or where to find it. All I found was info that said it would run the first time mail app was run.
Dose anyone have any pointers or know what I should do to resolve this mail app problem?
Thanks
Craig

There are several threads on this in the forums. Search for "Mail spinning beach ball."
Essentially, there is something wrong with the Mail folder in ~/Library/Mail/. Move the Mail folder to the desktop and restart Mail. It will create a new Mail folder. You can then import anything that was in the old mailboxes.

Add to Address Book not working in mail.app

On all my computers : MacBook Air and Mac Mini, the Add to Address Book (command + Shift + Y) is not working in Mail.app.
It doesn't add the email and name in the Address Book (now called Contact).
Is this a broken link ?
Best. StG

Hey Saint-Georges -
I've got the same issue in the console. I didn't notice the keyboard shortcut not working but that's happening to me as well.
I've gone gone through and repaired the disk and disk permissions. Still no luck.
Hopefully someone has a fix.

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

Alternative ways to access Notes outside of Mail.app?

Now that iPhone OS 3 syncs the iPhone Notes app with the Mac, I was disappointed that the sync is to the notes feature inside Mail.app rather than to something more flexible like a folder of flat files.
Given this restriction, what alternative ways are there for non-Mail.app users to access notes? Is there perhaps a third-party app that syncs the Mail notes with flat files or something else?
I've seen complaints that syncing Mail notes with GMail is unsatisfactory. Is there a way to sync them with Google docs or something else editable in a browser?
Thanks for any tips.

Thanks, VK.
So sad that Apple would choose to sync iPhone Notes with a closed app that only has one way to access them, buried several clicks deep.
And syncing them to Gmail as "regular messages (with unknown sender) in my main inbox" is pretty useless, too. For the sync to be useful, it should be bidirectional. Doesn't sound like there's any way to edit a note in Gmail and have it make its way back to the iPhone, correct?
yes but you can't blame apple for that one. as I said, Notes are a feature of Mail only and other mail clients including web based ones wouldn't know what to do with them. they can only understand them in one way - as messages and there is no way to edit a message in your mailbox using gmail web interface for example.
That said, has anybody figured out how the imap (?) magic happens that gets the messages out of Mail.app and into Gmail? Must one run Mail.app for it to take place?
No, any mail client will do. it's just as I said, other mail client wouldn't know what to do with the notes. they will be displayed as regular emails in a separate Notes mailbox. that's what happens when I access my AIM account using Thunderbird for example. I see a separate Notes
Would it be theoretically possible to use imap to sync the notes to some other service that would enable bidirectional editing?
this isn't a matter of an IMAP service. it's a matter of being able to edit an imap message in an email client.

Notes Synching With Mail.app -- Unwanted

Following my update to Snow Leopard, all of a sudden the Notes from my iPhone (OS 3.1) started showing up in my email. I do not want Notes syncing with Mail.app. How does one turn this "feature" off?
I have searched through the iPhone settings in iTunes, the settings panel in the iPhone, MobileMe prefs, Mail.app prefs, several System prefs and looked through a bunch of threads here. Lots of talk about synching Notes but most of it prior to Snow Leopard and nothing about killing it. (In case the order makes any difference, the phone went to 3.0 then the Mac to SL then the phone to 3.1.)

Info pane at the bottom, uncheck the Sync notes box.

Attachments not received in Mail app

I received a couple of email where the attachment is not received in the Mail app. It doesn't show up anywhere. The attachment is received on my iPad, iPhone, and iPod with no problems. Also, I have another message where the html images are not displayed on the mail app, but show up properly on my other devices. I have the preference "display remote images in HTML messages" checked and I'm connected to the interent.
I'm using IMAP with my gmail account. Ironically, both messages are from Apple, one has a receipt in it. I've downloaded the receipt directly from gmail, but I'm worried that I'm going to miss something else if I don't fix this problem.
Thanks for your help.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Can not send e-mails from account but can receive

I have my e-mail account with ATT Yahoo.
I received an account verification notice yesterday from ATT and I responded and they said I was verified.
However after I did that I could not send e-mails from my Imac desktop but I am receiving them.
I spend 4 and a half hours, yes 41/2 hours with both Apple Care and ATT and they could not correct the problem. Both discussions were with upper tier support personnel.
Here are some facts that make this an odd issue:
(1)
I have other e-mail boxes from ATT and they can send and receive e-mails.
(2)
MY laptop can still send and receive e-mails from the e-mail account that is only receiving with my Imac.
(3)
All the settings are exactly the same and both Apple Care and ATT checked them.
Is there anybody out there that may have an answer ?
Both Apple Care and ATT blamed each other.
My concern is that today I received another e-mail trying to verify my e-mail address for another e-mail address from ATT.
I called ATT and they did not know why, I DID NOT open it up and trashed it.
ATT has put a filter on my other e-mail accounts and hopefully that will end any problems with them.
The account that has the issue is my main account and I cannot trust leaving it and am trying to avoid having to change it.

Hi Rachel, For what it will be worth, I was like a dog with a bone about this, so I decided to give it another go. I have success on both boxes. Here is what I did, I warn you now it was a lengthy process. Before you begin download all the upgrade steps from X.5.0 to X.5.6 as single stages ( for me the combo's did not work) and have them ready to use.
1st Backup all your mail to CD/DVD not on the box. Check for any unsent mails anywhere in the box and then throw out all of the mail bits that are anywhere on the system in any folder. 2nd Install & Archive, 3rd Start up from Install DVD and check/set permissions, reboot. Enter all your ISP details to mail, see if you can send a mail to yourself. If not dump all the mail you tried and the .plists, reboot and install next update in the series, enter all details as before, try and send etc. If this fails dump again and reboot install next update etc.
I started at X.5.1 and got to vX.5.4 before I got a result in that sys asked me if this server will do, I said yes and I got mail out. The server name was different that was offered but when all was over it showed as the correct one that it should be on port 995. I must add that I had the spinning cog wheel for quite some minutes before anything happened. I continued on this way for the rest of the updates. 1x1 until v.6 was reached. That was only on the G4, I now had to do it all again on the MacPro. This one was not so co-operative in that I had to do it twice, but now it also has Mail running. It is funny though that I had to reach X.5.4 on both machines before it came right. On the G4 I was using a retail disc and on the Intel the supplied for discs.
Others on here may have a better and quicker way, but for me this did work. I am sure that there is a problem in either the mail app itself or the production of the Master DVD's.
Whatever, good luck.

Why "Open in pages" not showing in Mail app ?

Hey!
I just bought Pages and Keynote apps, and i'm trying to open PDF files from Mail app.
The problem is that in "Open in..." , Pages and Keynotes are not in the list of applications!
Someone know why?

You can annotate pdf files with Good Reader - using the paid version anyway. I didn't know there was a free version.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goodreader-for-ipad/id363448914?mt=8
There are other apps that will let you annotate pdf files as well. iAnnotate is another.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iannotate-pdf/id363998953?mt=8
BTW - you can import Word Documents into Pages as well as Pages documents. But you are looking for a solution for pdf files. Check out the apps above and you can search for othes.

STRANGE mail.app problems - Help!

A client's mail is severely screwed. here's a (brief) summary:
OS 10.3.9
Client had mail hang & spin while having 3 replies open. Stuck in a loop, tried numerous Disk Warrior, repairs, permissions, etc etc etc... Client's Mail folder in ~/Library/Mail is huge, over 9GB (many mailboxes).
*Oddest thing: THAT mail folder cannot be copied over to external FW Hard drives (tried 2) hangs after 806mb. Got a strange error about "Incoming mail cannot be read or written" - words to that effect. I've never seen such a thing. I can't even backup that mail folder to simply wipe the drive to update to Tiger.
ANY help appreciated!!

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
Hope this help someone with the same problem.

Mobile Me aliases not showing in Mail app.

Just recently, I have lost the ability to use my mobile me aliases when using the mail app on my macbook. They have just disappeared from the drop down menu under from in mail. I have used support with mobile me - they seem to indicate it's a problem with my macbook rather than with mobile me. Can anyone help?
Just thought I'd add too - there appear to be a couple of other issues with syncing to mobile me too - address book groups, bookmarks, mail rules etc.
Would love anyone's thoughts/help - thanks in advance.

I see the same issue (aliases not showing up), not in mail on my Macs, but in web mail on Mobile Me itself. I cannot manage existing aliases, I cannot use the aliases to compose new mail on Mobile Me website. I think this might have started at the time I converted my Mobile Me calendar to the new version, but I am not 100% sure, for I do not use web mail that often.
This happens in every browser I checked (Firefox, Safari, Chrome on Mac and Firefox, Chrome, IE8 on Windows), so seems to be a problem on server side, not browser specific or a problem on my computer.
If you have any ideas how to fix this, please please post it here. Thanks a lot!

HELP FOR SOME MAIL app PROBLEMS IN MAVERICKS!

As many of you, I was having great difficulty opening Apple's Mail app in Mavericks. The type of problem I was having is this:
When trying to open Mail for the first time in Mavericks, I would get the message that the database needed to be upgraded; the process would start, but Mail would become unresponsive. The progress bar stopped in the middle and only a forced quit could close the application.
I noticed the following:
The actual files and folders in User/Library/Mail/V2, remained unchanged from the time before my attempt to open Mail, and for me no other changes were made.
I took the opportunity to move a copy of the V2 Folder to my Desktop for safekeeping. Trying to open Mail without this folder just caused the app to ask me to designate my accounts anew, which I had no intention of doing.
I then tried adding back items into the empty V2 folder. Adding back all of the mail accounts and mailboxes except for the Mail Data folder had no effect, except that a new Mail Data folder was created, and the Mail app still asked me to designate my accounts anew.
I then added back the first half of my old Mail Data folder contents and allowed the copy process to overwrite the files in the newMail Data folder; there was still a problem.
Finally, I took the remaining files and one folder from my old Mail Data folder and added that to the new Mail Data folder. When I was asked to relpace matching folders and files I did that and whatever was left untouched by the file copy, I let stay there.
The Yellow taged files were the first half I transferred back.
As long as you have a protected copy of your Mail folder, you can try variations of the above. This is what worked for me, and I hope it is helpful to some or all of you.

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
Hope this help someone with the same problem.
