OSX Leapord Mail ?

I recently had to remove my mail application due to a message I was getting stating that the OS hard drive was full. After removing the mail application the OS looked fine. I normally use gmail and only test my website for contact links with os mail...any ideas?

"...due to a message I was getting stating that the OS hard drive was full..."
Why delete an app that has little size? You should have dumped pictures, movies... So what do you want to do now?

    osx mac mail suddenly cant reply or start new message, but stores as unworkable drafts
    Dont think I did anything to provoke this, can still access on server sites, but heh I'm used to to mac mail

    As per usual, I spend days working on a problem, finally give up and post to the discussion groups, THEN find the solution. It was the Signature file. It had either become corrupt (it contains graphics) or the bug fixes in 10.5.5 didn't like it. Either way, removed the sig file and everything works great again! Thanks!

  • Migrate from Exchange Server 2011 to Mac OSX Lion Mail Server

    Hi all,
    I'm looking to migrate from Exchange Server 2011 to Mac OSX Lion Mail Server.  I work for a company with roughly 30 employees and they use exchange for mail, contacts and calendars.  We want to take full advantage of OSX Server and to completly get off of exchange.
    What are the best ways to do this?  Are there any tools available to help this process?

    I agree with the points made by Strontium90. If you have any PCs then Apple's mail/contacts/calendar software is a poor choice. Kerio Connect as a mail/contacts/calendar server would not only support Macs but would also do a good job supporting PCs running Outlook.
    If you are going to become a pure Apple site, then you could use just the Apple software and this would be cheaper than using Kerio. For 30 users this might be a suitable solution, however even in a pure Apple environment many people prefer Kerio. For example I find Kerio much more pleasent when dealing with email addresses across multiple domains, email aliases, email group addresses, and so on. Kerio also has built-in email archiving, that is keeping a record of all emails. Kerio also provides a web-browser client for accessing email, calendar and contacts. It is worth noting that as standard Mountain Lion Server no longer includes a webmail feature. While I personally find the Kerio webclient rather ugly it does work.
    There are some annoyances I have with Kerio, firstly they have always charged a 'maintenance' fee for their software. This provided access to software updates, and in the past also provided access to Kerio technical support. Unfortunately they now only let you make two (2) support cases per year for that cost, and you now have to pay extra for any more cases. Also while they added support for EWS (Exchange Web Service) to allow using Outlook 2011 for Mac as a supported email client, they did a poor job of this so that it does not work properly with any other EWS compatible client. This means it will not work in EWS mode with Apple Mail, nor with Outlook for Windows. While there are other ways to connect these other clients, this seems a foolish move and there have been plenty of requests to fix this.
    Apple's Mail client uses EWS to connect to a 'real' MS Exhange server.

  • OSX Lion Mail Server Junk Mail Filter blocks incoming mail from any Yahoo address

    I have yet to be able to use OSX Lion Mail Server's Junk Mail Filter.  I have several contacts who use (free) Yahoo Mail addresses.  Whenever I turn on Junk Mail Filter, even at the Most Cautious setting, any incoming mail from Yahoo.com addresses do not make it into my inbox.  I was told last year by an Apple Enterprise Tech Support contact that "..we're still having problems with that Junk Mail Filter, sorry, just leave it off for now.."  WTH  In the meantime, the good news is I'm not missing any incoming e-mails; but, I'm having to sort through and delete a few hundred spam messages each day. 
    Suggestions?  Thanks in advance

  • OSX Lion Mail and Exchange Server

    My ITS person says that OSX Lion Mail "doesn't allow for exchange accounts so calendars etc don't work".
    Is this true?
    Thanks!

    Again, both of you have been really helpful.  Thank you so much.
    If you are both still on this thread, I would like to ask about solutions to a space problem:
    My primary computer is a MacBook Pro (Lion 10.7.3), where I am running Entourage 2008 (13.1.2).  Because I have limited space on my MBP for housing old emails (under "On My Computer"), I created a server from an old Mac in my office.  Then, using Entourage 2008 from my MBP, I created an additional IMAP account on the old Mac server, with subfolders for "email_2005", "sent_email_2005", "email_2006", "sent_email_2006", etc.  This is where I archive all my old email.  The nice thing about setting it up this way is that I can search any or all of these folders anytime, and from any location, directly from my Entourage 2008 app on my MBP, yet they take up no space on my MBP.
    First of all, I suspect there were easier ways to archive off emails from my MBP, but after searching and asking for weeks, this is what I settled on and it has served me well for years.
    But now, my old Mac really is getting old and I'm worried it will die at some point.  Plus I'm not thrilled about trying to maintain the server software on this old Mac.
    I also have space on a shared drive maintained by ITS, that's backed-up nightly.  This would be an ideal place to house archived mail folders.  Then I could take down the server on my old Mac and not worry about it anymore.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to set up an IMAP account on my shared drive space (I suspect it's against the ITS rules of this drive).
    Entourage 2008 does not permit me to designate where "On My Computer" folders are housed (they have to be on the same computer running the Entourage 2008 app).  If I could designate the location of "On My Computer" folders, a simple solution would have been to just locate them on the shared drive and I wouldn't have to bother with creating additional IMAP accounts housed elsewhere.
    Questions:
    1) Does Outlook 2011 or Lion Mail permit designating the location of local files (off my primary MBP) for archiving emails?
    2) Is there a simpler solution to archiving emails off my laptop, but that would also allow them to be conveniently searchable from within a mail app on my laptop?
    Sorry for the long-winded questions.
    Thank you again.

  • Help with OSX server mail setup

    Please if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful.  I have a company with an externaly hosted website and an an internally hosted email (OSX server).  I have everything kind of working, but some things don't seem quite right.  I'll explain below:
    I have a purchased domain: mycompany.com hosted by godaddy.
    I am using Godaddy name servers: ns65.domaincontrol.com and ns66.domaincontrol.com
    The external godaddy DNS has an a name entry for my mail server: mail pointing to 123.123.123.123 (which is my companies external static IP address).
    There is also a null (@) a name record for my website hosting service (squarespace) pointing to 456.456.456.456
    There is a cName record www pointing to the squarespace domain "www.squarespace6.com"  (know this is unusual, but it is how squarespace asks this to be set up and does not work otherwise)
    There is an MX record with priority 10 and host name @ pointing to mail.mycompany.com
    I have a airport extreme router with the appropriate ports forwarded to the OSX server.
    The DNS servers on the router are pointed to the internal IP address of the OSX server
    I did not change the domain name on the router (mistake?) it is currently san.rr.com
    On the OSX server I have set up host name to be mycompany.comDNS is set up with primary zone being mycompany.com
    Primary Zone entries include
    nameserver = mycompany.com
    machine record host name is mycompany.com and the IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server
    another machine record with host name "mail" and IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server.
    Finally, there is a mail exchanger record with mail server "mail.mycompany.com" and priority 10
    There are 2 entries autocreated in the Reverse zone
    Mail is setup and running on the OSX server providing mail for "mail.mycompany.com"
    Users are setup with email address: [email protected] (note: without the mail subdomain - I think this is OK?)
    I am using self signed certificate.
    In my clients (windows Thunderbird, Mac Mail, iOS mail), the settings are for the incoming mail server host name to be "mail.mycompany.com" and the outgoing also to be "mail.mycompany.com"
    I woud have expected this to be imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com respectively, but it doesn't work when I input these values and works with the former.  Have I set this up wrong??  imap seems to require SSL on port 993 and SMTP seems to require TLS on port 587.Outlook on PC gives me an error that after googling appears to be a problem with not recognizing a fuly qualified hostname form the SMTP client.  I see the fix, but wanted to know if that meant that my server didn't have a fully qualified host name and whether I should change that rather than just remove that restriction???
    The final problem is that my outgoing emails seem to be getting caught up in other people's spam filters too frequently.  What is the main reason for this?  Is it because I have set something up wrong and it brings up flags or is it simply because I am not a huge hosting company, or somethign else althogether?
    If you've gotten this far, big thanks!  If you can help me, even more thanks!

    Well, actually they are both getting caught up in spam filters and bounced back.  I actually realized that part of the problem is that I have a dynamic IP address, but it doesn't change.  Regardless, on the bounce back it looks like hotmail and other domains are rejecting email from my IP and recognize it as dynamic.  This was a test server that i would by physically taking to my business where there is a static business IP address (Cox).
    Sorry for the very long original message, but it seems that most people don't post enough information for the problem to be solved in their original posts and I was hoping to provide as much detail as possible.
    The other is the question of "are things set up right?"  It seems strange to me that both my outgoing and incoming servers are "mail.mycompany.com" and not imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com and I wonder if this is going to cause me to have problems?
    Is it a problem that my email addresses are [email protected] and not [email protected]?
    Was I supposed to change the domain name on the router?
    Also is it going to be a problem that I am using a self signed certificate?

  • Error Message re: Mail Version with OSX Version & Mail Won't Open

    I have not upgraded my OS and have been with 10.6.8 (on iMac Intel 3.06 GHz) since it came out without any issues.  However today, after using sofware update to install: Java for Mac OSX 10.6 Update 10 and Security Update 2012-004 (which I can't see how they would relate), I went to open Mail and got the following error message:
    You can't use this version of Mail with this versio of Mac OS X
    You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in : /Applications/Internet/Mail.app (which is where I have had it forever)
    it can't be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications for on your computer. For more information, click the Help button (which it stated upon clicking that it could not be accessed).
    Also, though I don't think this could be related - for about a month now, iTunes keeps asking me to enter my password (apparently not recognizing that i never logged out) - however if I just dismiss the request 2-3 times I can look in the menu and the log out option is available - weird.
    I see others have intermittently had this problem and as I said I have not added or upgraded any software and I am not using iCloud. I performed disk repair and permissions, cache cleaning, corrupt preference files etc, using Applejack but it did not resolve the issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated - while I can get to my mail through other avenues it's not nearly as convenient. Thanks.

    Resolved. Found another thread - had to move my Mail App back into the Applications folder and then re-apply Security update.

  • Did most recent Audio update to OSX and Mail.app went insane.

    I switched to the Mac in... November? and have absolutely loved it. This has been my first catastrophic experience thus far and I'm used to Windows being a part time job to manage so I'm not complaining.
    However, late last week OSX installed an audio update of some sort and when I rebooted mail.app had seemingly lost it's mind:
    1. IMAP accounts constantly go offline and then back online at random time intervals. This problem I actually had occasionally before but now it's a constant annoyance.
    2. Frequently getting "The message from "somebody" concerning "something" has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." error message for messages that have a. already been downloaded and b. who's accounts are showing as online. FYI, yes I do have mail.app set to download and keep a copy of the messages locally.
    3. Some messages (I can't find a pattern but it's about 5% of the messages) download repeatedly and appear in the inbox as many as 51 times. The only solution to this seems to be to log into the IMAP account's webmail access and delete the "offending" message.
    4. An account can be online and yet not show all the messages that are in the inbox. I know this because if I log into the webmail I can see them.
    5. Seemingly randomly the rules are ignored. Typically I can select a message and then tell mail to apply rules and then it works but why didn't the rule happen on it's own as usual.
    6. The general "Inbox" sometimes doesn't show new items in the individual account inboxes until I go and click on those individual account inboxes and then come back to the general inbox.
    Info about my system/setup:
    a. I have 4 IMAP accounts.
    b. I store messages on the IMAP server.
    c. The "fullest" IMAP account has roughly 500 MB in it but is set to have 2.4 GB capacity on the IMAP server. That account also has 48 personal folders on it, and has had them for a little over a month. After reading about smart folders, I intend to consolidate many of these into an "Archives" folder.
    d. The other IMAP accounts are each set to have 1+ GB of available server storage but each have under 100 MB used.
    e. I use SpamSieve for email (love it, by the way)
    f. I have a demo of MailTags running (it's been since mid-June and I've only played around with tagging a few emails so far but I intend to use iGTD once I get Mail back under control)
    What I've tried:
    1. I read that it's better to do the consolidated updates than the incremental ones so three times now I've tried to download the consolidated OSC 10.4.10 update but it never fully downloads. I'm not sure what's the deal with that as I've downloaded 300-400MB files over my internet connection at other times without difficulty.
    2. I read that you can delete the folders in mail.app and let it rebuild them from the IMAP folder... a. from what I read, I'm not clear on the procedure for doing this safely b. I have a lot of folders to deal with and c. the only places I've read about it is from people commenting in forums that it didn't help them.
    So... any suggestions?

    At least one of the problems you have appears to be some index corruption, and I have the feeling that MailTags has a bearing on it. I don’t think you’ll be able to completely solve the problems you have without uninstalling that first...
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
    4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
    Given the amount of mail you have on the server, I expect it to take a fair amount of time for Mail to fully re-create the index and bring all the mailboxes back online. Again, I strongly encourage you to uninstall MailTags before doing that.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Can I turn the OSX.7 'Mail' application OFF?

    How can I completely remove the Apple Mail application from ever opening automatically?
    I only use web-based email programs and have successfully configured most settings to default to my yahoo service for sending and receiving. However, a few still default to the Apple program, causing a number of problems when it opens uninvited including sending dozens of reminders and old emails that weren't removed from the server (probably a different problem, but it seems that just turning mail 'off' would be the simplest fix).
    Now I'm even learning that OTHER people's notifications and reminders on shared calendars (in ical) are opening Mail automatically, and that is REALLY annoying.
    Is there a way to end this frustration?

  • Migrating from Maildir to OSX server mail

    Hi,
    I have a Linux machine running Qmail (smtp, pop), Courier (imap) and Squirrelmail.
    About 20 users on the machine.
    Most users use webmail only.
    The users are all 'virtual' users, under vpopmail.
    This machine uses Maildir for mail storage.
    I want to move all mail to the new OSX server.
    The new server will be working the same way - webmail.
    I'm not sure where to start.
    Thanks in advance for any pointers.

    agostini,
    I've successfully moved users off a similar setup (Debian Linux, Courier IMAP, SquirrelMail) to my new Xserve. I used imapsync-1.239
    http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/dist/
    (it's about halfway down the page - Dec 2007 release)
    I initially tried using the MacPorts install of the same version, but it constantly failed to authenticate with the Xserve. I have my Xserve setup for always using CRAM-MD5 auth. (Make sure you have all of the Perl MD5 modules install, including the optional ones, if you use MD5 auth). So, I downloaded it and compiled it directly. This eventually worked and with only a couple of bad emails, out of thousands, that did not transfer. It also will retain flags set on the previous server (seen, replied, etc.). I ran it from the Xserve and connected to the Linux box remotely.
    I have no experience with Qmail.
    If you use procmail on the Linux machine though, you will need to recreate those scripts as sieve scripts on the Mac. I found the SquirrelMail plugin for sieve scripts most helpful.

  • After upgrading to OSX Mavericks Mail App quite when try to open my MS Exchange Mail Messages

    After upgrading to OSX 10.9 Mail App quits when try to open my Mail messages. I have a MS Exchange account. I have removed account and installed it again. All messages where downloaded normally but when I just click on a mail the app quits :/

    The option key... I've been holding down the command key... No wonder that didn't work. I should really be writing this stuff down!.
    Regardless, Downloading and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
    Thank you mende1 & saffron63 for the assist!

  • OSX Apple Mail

    I'm doing technical support for someone and have run acrossed something quite odd. After the usual googling and finding others with this issue I am going to re-open this as a new thread.
    Apple Mail, Version 6.5 (OSX 10.8.4)
    My client has a LOT of email, always been using Apple Mail going back to 10.2. His email about a month or so ago started this thing where he files all of his sent mail in unique folders by client "On My Mac". Any mail he has SENT and filed only appears to be retaining Mail as of the last 30 days though. When I open the Mail Folder, it shows about 224 messages. When I open the exact same thing in Time Machine, And look at TODAY and not going back, it jumps up to 350 or so messages now showing me all of the sent mail that he has also filed in this folder. It only shows me these mails in Time Machine and does not give me an option to restore them either.
    So in all, any old mail that was sent appears to be there according to Time Machine, but when I pop back out into Mail, all of his filed sent emails disappear! I know they're there because I can look at them and read them in Time Machine, but the second I drop back out, zip gone.
    Any ideas?
    I've tried exporting the Mailbox (mbox) and that does not do anything or change anything either.

    Hi.
    So, just to clarify: your client, after sending an email to one of his own client, goes into the "Sent" folder and manually drags-and-drops the copy of the email he's just sent into a new folder, a folder residing under the section, "On my Mac"?  Or does he have some system of rules set up to perform this automatically?
    I recently copied all my emails from a defunct IMAP provider to folders, "On my Mac", and one thing I find is that when I open those local folders they frequently appear to be empty.  If I re-launch Mail and check again, the emails re-appear (though not always).  This appears to be a bug of some sort, as I have witnessed the behaviour on two different Macs.  Is it possible your clients problem is similar to this one?  That is, the emails are there, but are simply not being displayed?
    As a troubleshooting measure, you could have your client archive his sent messages with MailSteward.  It's free until you archive over a certain number of messages, so should suffice for this purpose.  If you find that the messages appear in MailSteward, it's likely that the mboxes do contain all the messages your client has filed, but Mail is simply failing to display them.

  • OSX Lion Mail - email account appending previous user's mail in "mailto:" section

    So here is the issue I'm runing into.
    I recently bought a MBA for my gf and she likes it.  I decided to set up everything in the beginning and download critical updates and this made me use my AppleID to sign in.  I was trying to make sure that the Macbook mail app was working  fine, so I used my gmail account to test it out.
    Prior to handing the macbook air to her, I made sure I took out all my account information from the Mail settings.
    Months later I started receiving reply emails that was intended to go to her.
    Upon checking the mail receipt, it seems like my gmail account got appended to her "mailto:" part of the mail.  Obviously when her contacts reply to her, it would use the email in the mailto: part the email arrives at my inbox, not hers.
    I thought this was just a one time occurence, but now its happening all the time and we're getting annoyed. 
    We checked through all possible settings and sub settings in the Mail application and found 0 trace of my gmail account.
    So here is the list of my questions:
    How do I fix this?
    If there is no fix, is it possible to reset the mail application back to its initial configuration?
    I'm trying to find ways to fix this without formating the whole box.
    The mail app is the native OSX Lion app, fyi.
    Thanks in advance!

    Check the setting (See red arrows) in this pane of Mail's Preferences.
    Make sure the right account is shown.
    You can see my setting here. You may want have hers more specific.

  • Is Your Lion OSX Macbook Mail Acting Weird (slow, non-responsive, prolonged color wheel, etc.)

    My mail became unresponsive or extremely slow. Spinning gear-wheel next to account name never stopped spinning. There was also a little white circle with a squiggle in it next to account name. It took for ever to send myself an email, retrieve email from Cloud. The app often froze with a perpetual spinning color-wheel and ALWAYS required me to force-quit.
    I searched online and in the forums. Nobody seemed to have an answer for this widespread problem. Then one of the techies in the Lion OSX forum talked me through some tests and we discovered the problem and the cure - at least for people who have been using a dot-mac email address.
    You need to go into Mail preferences. At the bottom of the "account" page are a small plus and minus button. Blue-highlight your "dot-mac" (.mac) account listing in the upper left corner of the page, then click the minus button and "delete" the dot.mac account. You will still have your other - current - email account intact (.mac no longer exists - THAT'S why its presence on your email app is causing all the problems).
    I did this, and ALL my email problems have gone away. The app now functions perfectly again.
    Hope this solves your problem too.

    PS - don't worry...mail addressed to you via your old dot-mac address will still reach you via your free Mobile-Me email acct and via Cloud.
