OSX Lion - mail - grouping problem

With the new grouping of emails in Lion, when you want to move an email from your inbox, to a folder, it moves the related emails as well. How can you undo this as it causes some unwanted moves ...

Hey there, if you want to Ungroup emails I was having the problem until I played around and found it, go to the >> View Menu >> uncheck Organize by Conversation.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • DW CS5.5 in OSX Lion - anyone seeing problems with Spaces?

    DW seems to have problems with Spaces in OSX Lion.Switching into DW from other spaces is not 'clean'. When DW comes up, sometimes the Code/Design is blank white, and windows within the workspace don't show their headers. Clicking on Code/Design redraws that window, but the only thing that seems to recover the window headings is switching to and then back from another app in the same Space.
    Seems like screen redrawing triggered by switching apps within the same Space is a little different than that triggered by switching apps across Spaces.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    I did report it as a bug, using the link kindly provided by you and Shocker.
    The two Macs I've tried this on now are a Mac Pro and an iMac, so there's no Automatic Graphics Switching option to enable/disable.
    I was only able to check this out on the iMac late last night.
    Hardware synopsis:
    Mac Pro Early 2009
    Processor  2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
    The iMac isn't available to me at the moment, I'll have to fill in missing details later (can't remember the exact graphics card info):
    DW is CS5, not CS5.5, was also installed well ahead of the Lion upgrade
    Computer is iMac instead of Mac Pro, about 1.5 years old
    Quad-Core i7
    4GB memory
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7
    I used the same procedure upgrading to Lion on the iMac...
    Ran Cocktail 'Pilot' to clean up the system prior to install (runs Daily, Weekly, Monthly maintenance scripts, clears System, User, and Internet caches, repairs disk permissions on "Macintosh HD", clears log files)
    OS10.7 was purchased through the Mac App Store and installed.
    JRE installed.
    DW on the iMac exhibited the same problem as on the Mac Pro.
    To reproduce:
    Start DW, open a file for editing
    Start any other app in the same Space
    Open a new Space, open any other app there.
    Test switching between DW and other apps in the same Space compared with switching between DW and other apps in different Spaces.
    Consistently, when I switch between DW and other apps in the same Space, DW's windows/panels redraw properly,
    and when I switch between DW and other apps in different Spaces, DW's windows/panels don't redraw properly.

  • 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.

  • OSX Lion Mail problem

    I use 2 locations for work and home. Each has a different ISP. At the home address I can send / receive mail with no problem. At work I can only receive mails but only rarely send. Any ideas how I can send from both locations?
    At the work location, the mac.com email seems not to connect, but I can still recieve to my private email address which is from another provider.
    Any help to solve this will be greatly appreciated!!!

  • Mountain Lion Mail & Preview Problem.

    Hello All
    The menu bar in Mountain Lion email application is not responding.  Did shut down and retried, no effect. Ran disk utility and did "Repair Permission", no luck.
    It downloads email and I see theemail list , but I cannot read. I see the same issue with Preview, can't access the menu. Clicking on teh menus does not do anything I cannot read the emails download. Help!
    Thanks in advance.

    I just installed Mountain Lion after using Lion and had all SORTS of problems with Mail application (freezing, deleted emails would reappear, crashing, etc. etc.). I called Apple Support and they told me to do this, and it works:
    shut down
    then turn on computer while holding command R
    when OS Utilities window comes up go to the top menu bar and click Utilities, then Terminal.
    type (all one word, lower case): reset password
    hit return
    go to the bottom of the reset password window that comes up,
    select the HD
    then click the Reset button at the bottom under "Reset Home Folder Permission and ACLs"
    then wait for it to finish
    click the red button to close the finder.
    then go to Terminal at top,
    Quit Terminal.
    Then restart under the apple logo icon.

  • OSX Lion: Mail Starts then Hangs

    Ever since I downloaded Lion, I cannot get to Apple Mail.
    The app tries to start, hangs forever until I close it.
    Is this an effect of MobileMe?
    Anyone else having that problem?

    Ok, so things have improved.  I shut down my machine (a few times), each time ensuring I checked the message that windows weren't saved ...
    I waited for spotlight index to do more of it's indexing.  Then I tried again, didn't work, so I forced quit mail. 
    Then I fixed disk permissions (in disk utility) and shut down the computer (I read this might be helpful for general issues on another thread). 
    Then went back in, started mail and it asked if I wanted to reopen the window (which I assumed meant from the previous session). I said no. Then tried again, this time after a wait, things progressed.  And mail has just loaded.  It took about 45-60 mins to migrate and clean up.
    Spotlight indexing can be located in the top right corner of the screen - menu, if it's indexing it turns into a magnifying glass.  And if you click on it, it gives you more detail...
    Good luck!

  • Lion mail-group emails are hit+miss

    I feel that Apple could take a clue how to set up group emails from Outlook. Outlook is overly technical and convoluted but group emails work - Mac Mail is too simplistic and crude. Simple is good only if it works and covers all the bases - Lion group emails are hap-hazard at best. It is very frustrating to set up a group > send an email to that group > then go look at the people the email was sent to only to discover it randomly included some people in my email list that were not in that group, and did not send the email to some people that were in the group. Although crude and basic at least Snow Leapard groups worked properly. With Lion - group emails are hit and miss. I've tried every work around I could think of. Any ideas are appreciated.

  • Mavericks mail group problems

    When I address an email to a Contacts group and hit Return, Mail lists the whole group correctly in most instances. However, for random groups, It lists members multiple times (same email address each time.) The group itself lists members correctly. I have tried turning Mail off and on, turning the computer off then on, and deleting the group and recreating it member by member, but get the same results. In one case, the problem just resolved itself without my doing anything I can remember, but just that once, and with a different Group than is now malfunctining. Any ideas?

    FYI The upcoming 10.9.2 update to OS X Mavericks (since beta 3 build 13C44 that is available to developers now!) seems to fix the mail re-indexing issue for a few of us;

  • How do you remove duplicates in OSX Lion Mail?

    I know there are a few posts floating around about removing duplicate emails with Mail Scripts, however this software isn't supported in Lion just yet. And I would like to do this now. What's the smartest way to remove duplicates across multiple IMAP folders on 1 account. I don't need something so elaborate that does cross accounts etc.
    I've downloaded and installed MailSteward but it seems to only allow modifying a backed up copy. I need to remove live duplicates.
    Anyone have any suggestions? Come on Apple, as if you guys don't get duplicate emails that this can't be programmed into the software...
    I'd sincerely appreciate anyone's help.
    Kindest,

  • Mail group problem

    My mail program is working perfectly, with one exception. When I try to send to a group I have established, I get this message:"Message does not conform to RFC 2822 standard." I have deleted the group and set a new one up, with the same result. I have restarted, with the same result.
    And, not only does the message not send, it knocks me out of the proper server, and I have to reset that to be able to send any mail.
    Any ideas? Using groups can save me a lot of time.

    The only punctuation is the period and the apostrophe. I will remove both and give it a try.

  • Location of OSX Lion Mail Server sent mail

    I had to restore a mac mini server I use for web and mail hosting. Since the restore was due to a software problem, I had to do from scratch instead of recovering from a disk clone. I copied from the old mini backup all the mail accounts directories under /Library/Server/Mail/Data/..., and I've got back all received mail for every account, but NOT the sent mail. I guess sent mail is stored in a different location, but can't figure out where.
    Does anyone know what I have to copy to restore also sent mail?

    Ok, I found my error. The sent messages folder is into the same directory of the inbox, under /Library/Server/Mail/Data/..., but it's hidden (.Sent Messages).
    My stupid mistake was to copy the content of the folder in the new created folder without checking the presence of hidden folders.
    I'll leave this here for anyone else will do my same mistake

  • OSX Lion, mail updating/migrating issue (hangs)

    Hi all,
    I upgraded to Lion yesterday, and one glaring issue for me to date is that Mail has a upgrading/migrating message pop up when I open it, but even though it was left running over night, it's not completing.  I tried a few times this morning too, to no avail.
    The only other thing which is running is spotlight index (9 hours remaining).  I'm doubt this is related but I thought I would mention it.
    Mail is a pretty crucial part of my life as I have several inboxes coming into it.  Does anyone have any insight into this issue, or potential resolutions?
    Would appreciate any input. 
    Otherwise the only option I can think of is a clean install of Leopard>Snow leopard>Lion, and then migrating over from timemachine backup, which I assume is possible.
    Cheers!

    Ok, so things have improved.  I shut down my machine (a few times), each time ensuring I checked the message that windows weren't saved ...
    I waited for spotlight index to do more of it's indexing.  Then I tried again, didn't work, so I forced quit mail.
