Osx mavericks - cant move or save email messages

In all the older operating systems it would allow a user to drag an email message from Mail to anywhere you wanted to stash it; the desktop or any folder. Now with Mavericks it won't allow any moving or saving of an email message outside of the Mail apps internal folders.

I restarted the iMac and now it seems to allow this operation - so I consider this problem resolved for now.

Can no longer save email messages to my files

Before upgrading to Mavericks, I could open an email message from a client, click Save As, select a folder, then save the message as a text file to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. It seems I can no longer do that. I always get a Mail error message saying "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."(Even when the name is already shorter than that, I go through the exercise of shortening it.) After doing that, I click Save. Then I get an error saying "Error: Could not save to path...." which, incidentally, goes haywire part of the way through and takes it down a path that is a completely wrong folder for another client. Regardless, it doesn't save.
I've tried completely renaming the file. I've tried everything I can think of.
This used to be SO SIMPLE: Just click Save As, select the appropriate folder, then click Save.
In Mavericks, do I need to convert this email message into a Word document in order to save it to a folder?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in 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.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
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. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
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 by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Mountain Lion Mail cant print or save multiple messages???

The question is not a question because I already know.....
Mountain Lion Mail obviously cant print or save multiple messages !
There are multiple threads about that, but I couldnt find any solution :
I want to export a full folder of mails (emlx) to single PDFs
and I want to have the Images displayed ! (Lion Mail could do that!)
saving as RTF just shows a link and not the image if it is just a linked image
and saving multiple mails doesnt work anyway. same for printing (and save as pdf)
did anybody run into this... maybe find another solution?
automator doesnt really help on this, too, and i dind find any tool.
word opens emlx files, but the image is displayed just as a 1x1cm thumb
that is really annoying !

I restarted the iMac and now it seems to allow this operation - so I consider this problem resolved for now.

I am trying to determine how I can take an email without an attachment and save it to a folder. I am not able to paste the message anywhere. I can copy but to no avail. I want to set up folders in email to move and save emails. How can this be done?

I am trying to determine how I can save emails into folders in my email account. No ability to create a folder to move an email over into. How can I do this?

If you are using iPad Mail app, in the left hand column tap the arrow in the top left corner until you return to where your main email address appears. This is the main account screen.
Then tap the email address/account once.
In the left column in the upper right, tap the Edit button.
At the bottom of the left column/panel there is a New Mailbox button.
Tap the button. At the top of the left column, a keyboard entry field appears.
Thiis is where you tap and enter the name of your new Mailbox folder.
Once done naming, click the done button at the top right of the left column and you are done.
This is how you add additonal mailbox folders to your email account.
Once the mailbox folders you need are created, you can return to any email entry, Tap the Edit button in the upper right of the left column, again. A button appears next to all the emails in the left column.
Tap the buttons for the ones you wish to move to a particular mailbox folder, at the bottom of the left column, choose the Move button, then pick the mailbox folder to move the emails to and they will automatically move to that mailbox folder.

Mail crash when trying to save email message

I installed OS10.5.1 recently and yesterday mail starting crashing whenever I'd try to save an email message ("save as" or shift apple s). Based on one post, I ran a verify and repair disk permissions (from the hard drive, not from the startup disk) but no remedy. The beginning of the crash reports reads: Process: Mail [150]

Any ideas on how to repair this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Farid Shahin.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described in the following article, in case there is something amiss in the filesystem:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
You’d get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion.
Eudora Mailbox Cleaner requires rebuilding the imported mailboxes in Mail afterwards. Instead of rebuilding them one by one, you can re-create the entire index as follows:
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. 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.
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.

Applescript to save email messages feasible?

Can someone tell me if this is feasible? If it is I might try and learn Applescript to write it.
At work we have a problem trying to get people to file emails correctly. We want each email to be saved to their respective project folders on the server as RTFs (or ODFs).
So I'm wondering if the following Applescript is feasible?
1) Open a read email, normal behaviour would ensue
2) Open an unread email and a separate dialogue window pops up, prompting the user to choose a filename and somewhere to save the message (this should include the ability to choose a filename by clicking on existing files, as in a normal save dialogue).
3) If the email has attachments the same pop-up window, or a separate one, would prompt the user to choose a (possibly different) folder to save the attachments, and allow the user to choose which attachments to save, including none.
4) Lastly the the same pop-up window, or a separate one, would prompt the user for a folder within Mail to move the message to.

A native AppleScript possibility, - although, not via a single window
With respect to '2) Open an unread email ...' - one could create a 'Rule' in 'Mail' to execute an AppleScript script.
The AppleScript script would open each e-Mail message, present a 'choose folder' dialog box (consult 'Library' windows' 'StandardAdditions.osax' dictionary), followed by a 'display dialog' (with a 'default answer ""' entry) for file name entry, The information from the two (2) dialog box'es would be concatenated to form a new file path.
With respect to '3) If the email has attachments ...' - the list of attachments, of each e-Mail message, would be looped (repeat ... end repeat) through - with a 'choose folder' dialog displayed as the destination of the attachment. Naturally, if the attachments' name is to be user editable - a display dialog (with a 'default answer '""' entry) would be required. Again, the information from the two (2) dialog box'es would be concatenated to form a new file path.
Finally, with respect to '4) ... prompt the user for a folder within Mail to move the message to.' is possible by a 'choose from list' dialog box; where the list is of the 'Mailbox' names of 'Mail'.

Serious problems in Illustrator CC with OSX Mavericks: Open, Place and Save windows don't stay open

I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks. After that, Illustrator started acting up. When I try to save or open a file, or place an image, the command window opens just for a second or two then closes right away. Even the Save shortcut doesn't work. I've saved the file a few times using Command-S, when I was closing it I got a warning that I had to save it. Of course, I couldn't save it using Save As or Save commands because their windows wouldn't stay open, so I had to just close it. When I opened it again, it was an older version; Illustrator just ignored my last two or three saves.
I tried restarting the computer and relaunching Illustrator, nothing worked. The problem was worse when I have InDesign open too. But just quitting InDesign didn’t always work. This morning, I had to quit and relaunch both InDesign and Illustrator a few times before the problem temporarily disappeared.
I think it might also be worth mentioning that I use Apple Trackpad, and my computer is brand new.
Is anyone else having similar problems? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks. But I always have the List View.
One lame thing worked though. I would hit the command short cut and keep hitting it for a few times. This forces the command window to stay open, and it actually helps getting ridding of the problem temporarily.
I also had a similar but nastier problem in Acrobat. I tried to save a Photoshop PDF file in Acrobat, the Save As window opened and closed right away. Then all the command menus went gray; non of the commands was available including Quit. The only option I had was to force quit Acrobat. However, I didn't have this problem when handling native Acrobat files. The good news is that my lame solution worked.

Save email message in db

I try to save content of email in db,
Message msContent=message.getContent();
after
java.io.InputStream mesAsInputStream=(InputStream)msContent;
But I receive exception Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.io.InputStream
I understand that there are 2 types of messages first one a simple string, and second a multipart.
But I would like save as object in db indipendent from type of message.
But for save in db it need cast to InputStream. Could you please me say how it can be done correct?

Hi,
The Message is an interface which extends another interface which is Part interface. Now the implementation of the Message ( the class implementation ) is not an InputStream
The best thing to do is to serialize the object as a stream of bytes and save it into the database as blob datatype
or you can send it into the ByteArrayOutputStream and convert the byte stream to string using a characterset which is pretty standard which you may change if you are using different characterset
public static void printToStream(Message m) throws IOException, MessagingException {
          ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          m.writeTo(outputStream);
          String message = outputStream.toString("UTF-8"); // character encoding set
          // now save the message into the database
     }Regards.

Messages on iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) to Messages 8.0 on OSX Mavericks not working

Hello All,
I have a very specific issue with my wifes iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1.1 using Messages to send to my MacBook Pro (MBP) on OSX Mavericks with version 8.0 of Messages.
I find that when ever she sends me a SMS via Messages going over Apples iCloud, that I don't get the message on the MBP and it shows with a red ! on her iPhone.
I have tested a number of different situations,
1) At the moment, both my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1) and MBP (Messages 8.0) are setup to receive via my mobile number.
When I send a test SMS from her iPhone to my mobile number, the SMS makes it to my iPhone, but not on the MBP Message, and she has a red ! on the SMS on her iPhone, I can try to resend the SMS a number of times and it never makes it to my MBP.
2) I then logged out of iMessage on the MBP Message, so only my iPhone is setup to get SMS via iCloud.
When I send a test SMS from her iPhone to my mobile number, the SMS makes it to my iPhone and all further SMS sent now work and there is no more red ! on her iPhone.
3) I then logged back into iMessage on the MBP and setup Messages to use my email address only.
I then send a SMS from her iPhone to my email address, the SMS makes it and I get it on the MBP Messages. I send a second SMS and that works too.
I then send a third SMS and that fails, there is now a red ! on the iPhone and no message on the MBP. After numerous re-sends and additional SMS to the same email address, I don't get anymore messages to the MBP.
When looking at the syslog on the MBP, the only logging I have at the time of the SMS' being set are:

Is anyone aware of a know issue with iOS 5.1.1 on iPhone 4 that has issues sending message via iCloud to Messages on OSX?
I am not able to reinstall iOS 5.1.1 as it's not allowed anymore, I can't upgrade to iOS 6.1.x as that is not allowed either.
I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7.1 as it's slow as anything on an iPhone 4 and Apple should have left iOS 6 as the last version for iPhone 4
Thanks
Josh

Thank you for the comment and the link.
Unfortunately what you have said is not very helpful and untrue. I have not caused the issues here, there seems to be a bug or design issues here between iOS 5.1.1 and Message 8.0 on OSX. That is what I am asking about.
Maybe what you may mean by your response is that by not upgrading to iOS 7.1, it will not be fixed.
But you can't say 100% that upgrading to iOS 7.1 is the fix, as you don't know 100% what the issue/bug/fault is.
As an aside, I am looking for a solution apart from updating from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7.1.
I do run iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4 and have disabled as much as possible and it's still not as good as iOS 6 for speed and regret the upgrade.

How can i leave a copy of email message after receiving it on outlook, how can i leave a copy of email message after receiving it on outlook

i have a problem that i cant save email message on both my iphone and on outlook on pc

So even though he can see everything he's ever gotten in All Mail, he still wants in in Inbox? I realize the how to do it is a little bit of a stumper and it shouldn't be so difficult... but honestly, I think the more relevant question would be Why? Why would anyone in their right mind want to do that?
How does his Blackberry currently access his Gmail account? It should be a simple matter to duplicate the settings. It's undoubtedly just using POP and not deleting the originals as they are downloaded.
Here's what's going to happen if that's the case. The very first time he sets up a new device... phone, pc, doesn't matter, to use POP, it's going to download every e-mail he's ever gotten unless he goes in and tells Gmail otherwise.

Downloading osx Mavericks

When I try to download osx mavericks it gives me an error message. It says "We cannot complete your purchase, The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." Could anyone tell me how to fix this?

For those like me who can't see the progress of the download happening on that little bar that comes with launchpad, or on the icon that opens up in the dock, here is your solution:
Open activity monitor, go to the network section, and you can see under Data recieve/sec, how fast you're downloading Mavericks. For me the speeds were 500kb/s on average and reached peaks of 1MB/s. It took about 5hrs for me (last week).
I'm downloading it for another computer this week the download is going by much faster. It's a function of your internet connection as well as the number of people trying to download the software.

Saving email message to a file

I was trying to save email messages (not just message text, but everything) into a file. But I got exception stating that com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Message is not serializable. Is there any workaround to save email object into a file?

This writes the message as an object to a file.
It is fully functional - use this in one of my programs.
try{
email = (MimeMessage)message;
file=new File(fileName);
outFile=new FileOutputStream(file);
outStream=new ObjectOutputStream(outFile);
e.writeTo(outStream);
closeStream();
outStream.close();
outFile.close();
catch(Exception ex)
{/error writing file}
Good Luck!

Saving email messages

On my iPad my mail service is via a POP account. I understand that I cannot add any additional mailboxes to the Mail app.
Is there a way to save email messages somewhere else besides the Inbox?

How can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?

Hi all, how can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?*

Over the years this issue crops up again and again. Here are the cases I know about:
Case 1 - it simply doesn't work
I have a message in my inbox with a jpeg of about 300Mb. Select message, choose option "remove attachment" which is not greyed out, and it does not work.
Case 2 - it works if you save the message first
I move the message from the inbox to a mail box. Open the mailbox (select), select the message, choose option "remove attachment", result: the attachment is removed, a small text file is added and an error appears in the message "missing plug-in". The message size is reduced from 300Mb to a few bytes.
Case 3 - the option "remove attachment" is greyed out.
I've googled this at least 10 times and read all the advice about editing various files from the library and all the other hacks. The simple truth here is that the user should not be inconvenienced by such inappropriate behaviour. We're not used to this from Apple any more, not since OS X. Even Windows does this stuff painlessly. In fact this kind of function is something that Outlook and Exchange do incredibly well. If they didn't the corporate world would have ground to a halt.
My point: the remove attachment option should work all the time and should be redesigned. Right-click + save as + delete in the message would be a hundred times easier.
