On opening, sends 1 old e mail to me

when I open my mail (last 4 days or so)
the sending function activates (whindmill thing next to sending appears), and the computer sends 1 (one) old e mail that is in my e mail files to me and it appears in the inbox as received "today" like new mail. this makes me think its new and I open it and then I see its an old one. I think it actually disappears from where it was in my mail storage and goes into the inbos as a "today" e mail
If I close e mail and reopen using the dock it does it again with another e mail..
I have mail 2.0.5 my son on another machine in another city has mail 2.1 - I can not tell how to download 2.1 Only system chane was I upgrade quick time recently
any ideas??

Deleting legit messages is neither necessary nor useful here.
I'm realizing now that you posted the name of the account folders, but not their contents. In the Finder, for each of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ folders, open them, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste that in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders they contain.
I have mail 2.0.5. I looked on the apple
site and could not find mail 2.1
Mail is not available as a separate download. Each version of Mail is tied to a particular version of Mac OS X. If you want to update your copy of Mail, you must install the appropriate system update. I don't think this will solve your problem, but it may be a good idea to do it anyway. Proceed as follows if you want to do that.
Verify/repair your disk first (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, install the latest Combo Update for the type of machine you're using:
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for PPC
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

  • I cannot open my new and old e-mail

    I seem to have lost the ability to open new and old e-mail.I click on the individual e-mail and it does not display anything.

    The VIP list is where google add those emails from people you email the most, it's a pain as I've missed emails because they've been in that folder.
    Can you send using the new password on other devices? You could try deleting the account on the phone & set it up again.

  • Macmail:  all new e-mails display the correct sender - but they don't display correct contents - they pick up contents from old e-mails.  Emails on Iphone are fine.

    I just opened-up my mac book air this morning and looked at my mac mail (which runs my g-mail account).  I saw that a couple of new e-mails had come in - the name of the sender was displayed correctly - but the contents of the e-mail were from old e-mails.  I checked my Iphone and the mails are all coming in fine.  I had loaded attachment tamer on last night (great attachment - Mac why can't you fix this oversight?) I wondered if this might be the problem and I have re-moved it and the problem is still there.
    Any thoughts?

    I apologize; I should have mentioned I already tried that, multiple times
    It's almost like, since the messages show a qty in the status bar, that their text has been changed to white, the background color. But when i use Search Messages to get at what's there, the text color is black as it should be.
    Any further comments welcomed.
    Thanks much

  • How can I remove a mailbox address from the "From" drop down box in a new e-mail my old e-mail address continue to populate as the sender address

    How can I remove a mailbox address from the "From" drop down box in a new e-mail my old e-mail address continue to populate as the sender address

    Hello,
    Try Mail>Preferences>Accounts icon>Account Information tab>Click on the Outgoing SMTP server drop down, choose edit Server list, highlight the old one & click Remove.
    (Such convolution is worthy of Windows® in my estimation)

  • My iPAD cellular data plan.  I no longer know which old e-mail I originally used to set up my account.  Any info on how to recover a lost account access?  The only thing on line is a lost password function but it send info an e-mail no longer valid..

    My iPAD cellular data plan was set up with an old e-mail account and I no longer have access to this e-mail.  The password is forgotten.  I am unable to access my cellular data plan to update my 3G.  Any help on account access when you no longer can remember the access information?

    I called AT&T at 1-800-331-0500 and asked for Ipad support. They are going to send me a new SIM Card. This  will solve the problem. Paul

  • My mailprogram in OS 10.6.7 frequently gives on old content/mail connected to an actual / new sender.

    My mailprogram in OS 10.6.7 frequently gives on old content/mail connected to an actual / new sender.

    This sounds like an indexing problem.  Force a reindexing by deleting the Envelope Index. With IMAP or Exchange account, forcing reindexing requires removing the account folder. See:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
    Ask any questions needed to get comfortable with doing this.  Do you have any third party plugins or Mail enhancement apps that might be moving stuff around?  This would not be good for the index.  Rebuild on an IMAP account, where local copies of messages are kept may not be as clean as it would for POP and On My Mac mailboxes.

  • HT201363 Im trying to reset my security questions but iTunes/Apple keeps sending the reset e-mail to my old e-mail address. My current e-mail address is listed and active in my account.

    Hello,
    I'm trying to reset my security questions on my apple account but they (apple) keep sending the reset e-mail to my old iTunes e-mail. I have changed/edited my e-mail in my apple account to my curent e-maul but it still sends the reset to my old e-mail.......

    Hello AndrewsAFCx,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.

    Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.
    In Snow Leopard Mail 4, (Version 4.0 (1075/1075.2)) if I attach a word document to a message and, BEFORE sending the message, I double click the attached document to open it, to make sure it is the right one, I get the error "Mail was unable to save the attachment “Test.doc” to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writable."
    The attachment is mailed correctly and arrives at the destination, but the ability to verify an attached document before sending it is essential. This has worked fine in all previous editions of OS X.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks - Lawrence

    I have same problem. I've done the following testing to pinpoint where the problem lies and there are clues (see below):
    1. My machine had SnowLeopard installed "fresh" (i.e. disk reformat and installed cleanly)
    2. I have a comparison machine running Leopard (10.5.6) - essentially a mirror but with different OS
    3. Problem is triggered when creating new email, with a MS Word .doc attachment added. If you attempt to open the attached file in the mail (not yet sent) it produces the error message "unable to save file XXX.doc to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writeable"
    4.However, once the mail is sent, the recipient can open the attachment without problems.
    5. I have run Disk Utility and all permissions are correct. My downloads folder exists.
    6. The problem is not present in Leopard (mirror machine other than OS)
    7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office. Problem still present
    8. I have deleted and recreated the preference files for both MS Office and for Mail. Problem still present.
    And finally...
    9.The problem is confined to .doc files.It works fine for .pdf, .ods AND even for Microsoft .xls files.
    So it may be a MS Word problem triggered by Snow Leopard?
    Apple: if you can confirm this is a Microsoft problem it may be able to be reported to them as a compatibility issue?
    Hope this helps.

  • Sending a pdf with mail that is directly seen by opening the mail?possible?

    hello,
    I want to send a pdf by Mail but I would like the receiver to click on my email and that he/she will see the complete pdf immediately.
    is that possible?
    thanks
    Hein

    that depends on the mail client of your email recipient. There is nothing you can control on the sender end. For example, Mail will display pdf attachments inline automatically.

  • How to send JPG images in MAIL?

    I'm having a problem in sending JPG files in MAIL. Nobody can open de files i send. Need Help.
    Tanks.

    Makes sure extensions are fully apparent, checks the form of preview that may have been created on the Mac for its use. Two support documents are linked below, and the one for earlier version of Mail is still useful:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/9965.html
    and
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9965.html
    If you were sending to someone using a really old version Mac OS, it might be a hinderance, btw.
    The issues that can arise from use of Rich Text Format are separate issues, and relate to MS and AOL not processing RTF from other systems.

  • Suddenly I can,t play certain songs from my itune libary as they are connected to my old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . how do i get you to link the 2

    Suddenly  i can,t play certain songs from my libary as they are connected to an old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . How do i merge them together ?

    I had this problem yesterday (or a very similar problem). When you click on your purchased song, an old email address (Apple Account ID) pops up and asks for an old password to authorize permission. It is very stubborn and does not really co-operate when using the usual remedies (forgot password - send me an email - what is your birthday, etc). I fumbled around and eventually got it all straightened out. I can tell you what I did - I cannot tell you what exactly worked. Access your current Apple Itunes account. Deauthorize all computers (up to 4 or 5 in total, I forget...) that can play your purchased music. Update your password. Close your account and Itunes. Open Itunes and try your new password. Now try the "old" music that would not play before - your "old" email/Account ID should still pop-up asking for a password. Delete the old email/ID and put in your current one. Then use your new password to activate. This should solve the problem of old ID / old Password / no permission. My apologies for the imprecise method, again I am not sure exactly WHAT worked here - all I know is that the Itunes Help sections and tutorials were good - but of no use in this case.
    Cheers

  • Help! I need to import OLD e-mails from my AOL mail...

    Well, I've tried on my own, but it's time to seek out a higher power...
    I have old e-mails from AOL 2.7 and 3.0 that I saved on my computer. I just downloaded AOL 5.0 (in Classic) as well as AOL for OS X, and I can open these messages up individually in those programs. But the question is, how can I add those e-mails to my Personal Filing Cabinet in one of those programs, so that I can (the holy grail) eventually get them in to my Apple Mail program? While I can open them up individually now, I can't figure out how to save them into either more recent AOL program -- I think that once I manage to do that, then I can use that AOL Services Assistant thing to get the messages into Apple Mail.
    Can anybody help? Thanks!
    G4 iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hey Ali B,
    Thanks for giving this a shot. Here's the best I can remember it: I was using AOL 2.7 in the late 90's, and to make my in-box smaller I saved various e-mails in their own folders, taking them out of the AOL Inbox (which was on my computer, fyi). Now, here's the latest wrinkle -- I found a version of AOL 2.7, and can easily take the e-mails that are saved in my AOL 2.7 Inbox and export them to a later version, and from there to my Apple Mail. But HERE'S the tricky thing -- when I take those earlier e-mails that I pulled out of the AOL Inbox and drop them back into the Inbox folder, they don't get added to the Inbox when I open AOL! I can open them individually in 2.7 (the icons are the same in the Inbox Folder, all e-mails look the same, both the new ones and the old ones), but that also doesn't add them to the AOL Inbox.
    Here, it seems to me, is the problem. In the Mail folder is also another icon (and file) that says my screen name, and that somehow incorporates all of the e-mails that are saved under that screen name. And I don't know how to change that file -- just launching AOL 2.7 (or, for that matter, dropping these new messages into the appropriate folder) doesn't help -- only the original messages show up in my AOL 2.7 Inbox, not the additional ones I've added.
    And, of course, when I upgrade to 3.0 (or 5.0 or AOL for OS X) these e-mails in my Inbox get added to my Personal Filing Cabinet, and I can't think of any other way to get the other (previously removed) e-mails into the Filing Cabinet.
    Does that make any sense whatsoever?
