Im on a 13“ 2.53 GHz MPB 4 GB - OS X 10.6.3
thanks a lot

I have had the same issue. Rebuilding fixes it temporarily, but it comes back....Also have an issue where Mail will not download attachments automatically. They show up in grey until they are clicked...have Mail set to download all messages and their attachments, but it doesn't want to. Very frustrating. I have begun the switch to Entourage, which is unfortunate, as I like Mail more.

Mail constantly is synchronising with server and updating cache directory!

Mail constantly is synchronising with server (sent messages) and updating cache directory making everything slow.
I have a .mac account. I understand the concept of IMAP and that it information is stored on the server therefore it needs to update but surely not constantly and besides the blue bar sticks halfway through without completing. Please help.

hello

"updating cache directory" runs forever in Mac Mail plus other ills

Running 10.9.2 on MacMini with 16 gb ram. Mail version 7.2. Using SpamSieve
Using my IMAP account...which has 3450 messages in the combined five folders for five different mail accounts. The folder having the problems below that are folder specific has 2000 messages in it.
Activity shows "Updating cache directory" "evaluating message x out of 256" Oddly, the number is usually 256. It runs through 256 and then starts over again, on and on. It eventually stops.
It also has great difficulty deleting mail. I delete it using Erase Deleted Items. Deleted mail is delivered again and again when the app goes to the server. Often it is Spam that I have deleted after SpamSieve put it in the Spam folder (which is "On my Mac").
I often have the "Can't move mail to x folder". When I rebuild, it fixes that, but the problem comes back in a day or so.
The appd fails to pickup all the mail unless I Take All Accounts Offline and then go back online. Even then, it finds more mail if I Quit mail and then immediately restart it. And sometimes when I do that it brings back mail that I recently deleted.
If I use Show Deleted Messages, after I delete, the headers still show up in the Inbox, but themessages are unavailable (which is to be expected).
I have deleted the preference folder in Mail library before and it simply redownloaded everything, but didn't change its behavior.
Wisdom would be appreciated in how to fix these issues.
Thank you, in advance.

I finally had to get FuseMail to "reset the IMAP flags" on their end and everything seemed to resolve itself.

Mail crashes w/IMAP account access; EXC_BAD_ACCESS; KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE

My Mail app crashes with error (see below) when trying to access an IMAP account. I installed Adobe Creative Suite 2, that caused Mail and Safari to both fail. I uninstalled CS2 but that didn't help.
I tried a different user account, and both Safari and Mail worked fine.
I deleted com.apple.mail.plist and com.apple.Safari.plist but that didn't help.
I re-started Mail with no accounts, successfully added the .Mac account and a POP account. Then as soon as I added an IMAP account it started failing the same way: it opens okay then fails as soon as the IMAP account checks mail. Using Mail when logged in under a different user id doesn't have this problem, so it doesn't appear to be a bad email message.
I've searched through this forum (thanks!) and believe I've collected the right data, but am unsure what to do next ... i.e. exactly where is the problem!
thanks for any help,
Chris

Hi, BDAqua,
No, no 3rd party or Internet Helpers, BUT I did load Adobe Creative Suite 2 (Photoshop, Illustrator, and other apps to make me smarter, faster, and more handsome. It had some automatic updater functions, and given that Mail and Safari suffered catastrophic failures I believe they put some hooks in there).
I've since unloaded the Suite -- I should know better than to load an entire suite. Also, I now have 23GB of space on my harddrive, and wonder if I ran out of room during the install. There was no error, but CS2 comes on 4 DVDs so I wonder ...
Hi, Mulder,
I deleted the cache files - lots of stuff. I deleted two of the other files (didn't have downloads.plist).
Unfortunately, Mail still dies when it checks for mail in the IMAP account.

How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
i.e.
if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
<Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I haven't tried this, but it should work:
Make a new rule,
If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.

Mail stuck with "updating cache directory"

I've been getting bit by Mail getting stuck with "updating cache directory" on just one of my three IMAP accounts (separate providers). Gmail and MobileMe are fine, it is just with FuseMail which uses Microsoft Exchange servers. I have finally found something that may point to the problem:
http://www.theexchangeguide.info/exchange-server-clients/2011/28/apples-mail-app -with-exchange-2007-via-imap-or-owa.html
Folks,
Azaleos has now spent 6 months working with Microsoft on this issue.
The diagnosis appears to be that significant changes were made to the IMAP protocol implementation in Exchange 2007 that significantly deteriorates the performance of MAC Mail.App clients, especially client with large mailboxes, against Exchange 2007 vs. Exchange 2003.
Although the Microsoft support team’s response has been absolutely exemplary, we have been unable to make the Exchange development team understand the significance of this takeback from Exchange 2003, nor been able to have them implement fixes in the Exchange 2007 stack to address the issue.
More significantly, we have also received absolutely no response from Apple regarding the deficiencies of the MAC Mail.App client, nor even any acknowledgement of the problem. In fact, from the complete lack of response we’ve received, Apple has an absolutely abysmal Enterprise support capability and far worse than anything we’ve experienced from Microsoft.
At this time, Azaleos does not recommend that customers who have significant MAC Mail.App implementations with sizeable mailboxes (in excess of 500MB mailboxes) upgrade from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007.
We are recommending to customers that they do upgrade to Exchange 2007. But, that any users of MAC Mail.App move immediately to Entourage or to an e-mail client that implements a solution that is less than 10 years out of date.
Thanks,
Keith McCall
CTO, Azaleos Corporation
I'm posting this both as a reference for others and as a question to see if there is a way to resolve this as a customer, other than dumping FuseMail for a non-Microsoft house?
Thanks!

Folders from Outlook not showing up in Mail Exchange or IMAP account

Hi,
I have a work account that I access from Microsoft Outlook 2003 using Exchange Server 2003. Also I can access it through a webmail application. In both cases, I see my folders. Now, when I set up an Exchange account in Leopard Mail (I also tried POP & IMAP), I can't see the folders in Mac. It sends, it receives, the Inbox is perfectly fine and updated... but no folders.
I'm not talking about Public folders, just a few I created in Windows. (actually this is not for me, it's for another person. I don't use Windows since 2004 hahaha)
Please help!

Well,
now I see all the folders. It didn't work in the IMAP account, but it worked when I set up an Exchange account. Apparently (not sure) the problem was that I was using the same server in "Incoming Mails Server" and in "Web Access Server". Checking in the Outlook set up I found two different settings, one for Exchange Server, the other for the Mail Server.
It works!

Similar here. I waited until it appeared the initial problems with Yosemite were solved and updated this AM. All appeared fine until I tried to open Mail. DOA. This is the message I get.

Is Mail good for imap accounts?

I don't know if it is my setup or what but I am experiencing a few deal breaker problems:
1. Mail seems brutally slow AND it seems to send my machine into a state of "powerwork" whilst performing basic tasks like selecting different folders.
2. I have an imap account and a .mac account. Selecting back and forth between the 2 inboxes, mail seems to need to sit and think (almost as if to reload the whole folder) just to bring back the mail contents and make the list visible.
I have been using entourage which works great. I wanted to De-microsoft my mac as I thought I'd get an intercompatibility boost by switching to Mail but it looks like I may be wrong? Should I abandon the idea and go back to entourage?
thanks!

1. Mail seems brutally slow AND it seems to send my machine into a state of "powerwork"...
You have something wrong because you shouldn't experience that.
Selecting back and forth between the 2 inboxes, mail seems to need to sit and think (almost as if to reload the whole folder) just to bring back the mail contents and make the list visible.
I typically just view the top level inbox so that it includes the contents of the inboxes of all my accounts.
If you use the '.Mac type' when defining your .Mac account in Mail, it is also an IMAP account.
Using an IMAP account means that the e-mail client must establish contact with the remote IMAP server before the inbox is shown. The inbox on the e-mail client is essentially a window into what is stored on the IMAP server's inbox.

Mail crashing using IMAP account

I am having an issue with my IMAP Mail application. I installed Leopard on Friday and have used my e-mail over the weekend with no issues but today I was sending an e-mail and it seemed to send but then all of a sudden a message popped up and said:
"+Some actions taken while the account “IMAP Account” was offline could not be completed online.+
+Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “On My Mac” in “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions while online.+
+Additional information: The IMAP command “APPEND” (to Drafts) failed with server error: Invalid mailbox name..+"
It also saved a copy of the e-mail to my drafts and the sent folder which it doesn't normally do. When I closed the box more copies of the same e-mail saved to my drafts and then another box popped up with the same information above. I closed that one and then more copies of the e-mail were saved into my draft folder. This kept repeating until eventually there were 44 copies of this e-mail in my drafts and then my mail just crashed and closed. I have tried deleting the drafts and the copy in the sent folder but somehow it keeps coming back and taking over my my mail.
Has anyone else had this problem before?

Got Mail working correctly on my Powerbook now.
As previously stated, my iMac Mail 3.0 app was functioning as it should, but not the powerbook.
First I reinstalled 10.5 on my PB with an erase and install and then used the migration assistant for all my preferences, users and documents (luckily I had a bootable backup of my 10.4.10 install made by Superduper!).
And did following steps: I first installed the login patch through software update. After a reboot, I shut off my internet access. I repaired my keychain with keychain first aid (I did this twice until no errors were shown). I ensured that .Mac sync was deactivated for keychains and mail rules (I assume this messed up my previous installation tentative, because my setting from the iMac where mixed up with the PB keychains). Then I rebooted again (just for peace of mind). I then connected to the net and started Mail. After the short rebuild, I found all my setting to be intact and working.
(Anecdote: my previous install was marred with IMAP access problems; the more I tried to fix them, the more it went wrong, cumulating in Mail.app crashing on start after a few error messages. In the meantime my repeated tries to access my IMAP email account resulted in my webhosting company blocking my IP address. So while I was assuming my problems were related only to Leopard, it was infact my ISP that was disallowing access. Once this was resolved with my ISP (at midnight! I love the service they offer), I reinstalled 10.5 to get everything working correctly.)

Mac email account wont stop looking for new mails.

Just recently and out of the bloom my .mac email account started acting up doing two things:
1. It fails to receive some emails (I get some, but other I just don't. It appears to be random). I've had several people tell me they've emailed be but I've have nothing in my inbox, neither on my mac nor on mobileme.
2. The same .mac (just to clarify I have a @mac.com account not @me.com) account does not stop looking for new emails. That little circles that goes around when you hit the get mail button; it wont stop circling.
I've deleted the account from my computer twice and both problems are still occurring.
This started just last week. I've never had any problem before that. I'm not running out of allocated space; I've already checked that.
Please Help. Bothe problems are pretty annoying (specially not getting emails.

Just to clarify the point. You do have a .me account. The .mac is just an alias now for .me
Maybe you should set up the account as [email protected] and see if that improves the reliablity.

Mail App & GoogleApps IMAP Accounts

Hi All,
I am using Apple Mail with multiple GoogleApps Accounts. These accounts work okay to fetch the mail using IMAP, but I cannot use them when sending Mail.
These accounts do not show up when sending an email, and selecting an Account to send email from.
If I change another non-GoogleApps IMAP or POP account, and try to send an email using the GoogleApps SMTP server, it also doesn't work.
If I try the same setup using Outlook 2011, it does work...
Does anyone know what is the problem here?
Thanks,
Willem

I couldn't find a continuation of this discussion on another forum, so for those who find it, here's what worked for me:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3058
Under "Resolution", follow the link in step 3. It will tell you that you have the account open in too many places, but I know I didn't. In any case, it appears to have fixed the problem and I can now send and receive Gmail through Mail.

Duplicate Emails in Mac Mail with two IMAP Accounts

I have all my email accounts running through Mac Mail (v 4.5).
Recently I added a work IMAP account in addition to my Gmail and another personal account. Since I did so, every time an email comes to the work account, a duplicate gets sent to my Gmail. No idea why, and it didn't start until I brought everything into Mac Mail.
I've tried re-adding the work account as a POP (just as an experiment) and the same thing happened. And again when I brought the work account back a third time as an IMAP.
Any assistance would be a big help.
Thanks.

I'm having similar difficulties. Mac Mail has been seriously disrupted with upgrading to Mavericks.

Mail 6.2 IMAP account removes messages from server

I've been running Mail fine for years but when I upgraded the Macbook Pro from Snow Leopard to 10.8.2 Mail began to remove messages from my mail server even though it is an IMAP account.
It is set to keep copies for offline use.
The exact same setup works fine on Snow Leopard in the iMac.
There are no plugins in Mail on the MBP/ML setup.
Have I missed some obvious setting?

Update - Attempted the following to resolve with no success:
Shutdown and restart Mail
Restart MacBook
Disable and enable Exchange account
Monitored the Activity window and everything looked OK.
Review with Connection Doctor. An interesting observation of the Detail screen of Connection Doctor is that I did not see any activity for my Exchange domain. Activity was listed for all other email accounts except the Exchange account. Hmmm......
Finally had to remove the Exchange account and re-create it. Only then did the recent and other email appear.
Arrrrgggghhhh......
