Partial mail Retrieval from .MAC

HI,
When I retrieve my mail, Only some of the messages make it to my Mail application (the one that came with my powerbook G4 - 15" Titanium). Some messages download, some show up on the server but not on my computer.
Any ideas?
- Seth

Hi Seth.
What does Mail show in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Account Type? If the account type is .Mac or IMAP, try rebuilding the mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

Migrating from Entourage and now can't send mail except from Mac account

I've just started using Mail after using Entourage for many years and I must say it's been a frustrating start (having separate applications for Mail, Address Book and Calendar is a pita so far). But most importantly I can't get Mail to allow me to send mail from any account other than from my .Mac account (no problems receiving mail). I'm using the same outgoing server settings as in Entourage but no joy - I get an error message saying it can't use the outgoing server. I have no problems with this in Entourage. For example, from Entourage I can send mail using my BT Internet account or my Bulldog Home account using the following outgoing mail server settings:
SMTP SERVER: mail.bulldoghome.com
ACCOUNT ID: [email protected]
PASSWORD: my email password
Also, how do I access my hotmail?

Ok here's another one. When I delete a mail retrieved from a non Mac mail account (eg my BT Internet account) and empty my Trash in Mail it does not delete the email off the (BT Internet) server. I have not checked "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" so that I can access the email from multiple locations. But when I do delete it I obviously want it removed from the server.

Mail disappears from Mac account inbox

Hi folks.
I'm a relative apple newby. I have 2 mail accounts, 1 of which is an apple mail account. On 2 occasions now all the mail in my mac inbox has just disappeared. Any ideas how to retrieve them and why is this happening?
Tks in advance

My wife has a sub-account on our MM family pack subscription and had this issue: occasionally mail on her iPhone would appear briefly in the iPhone inbox, then disappear from the list. It never showed up in Mail.app at all. (I have the master account on this family pack and haven't had this issue… knock on wood.)
I was also a recipient on some of those mails -- but if I forwarded them to her she still didn't get them. I had to copy the text out of the messages and paste into a new mail. That worked. So it seems there's something in the mail header (perhaps?) that causes this… yet the mails have not all been from the same person / address. In fact, mail from person "A" might do this disappearing thing today, yet mail from the same person "A" might work fine tomorrow. It's that sort of multi-variable, intermittent problem that's very hard to pin down.
I tried changing her password -- to guarantee that only her known clients were logging in (no lurking POP mail readers that she'd forgotten about). No effect. Then I tried turning off her junk filters, both local and online at MobileMe (thinking maybe some rule was out of control -- deleting random messages, rather than filing them as junk). No effect (other than a lot of complaints from her about junk in her inbox, of course).
Finally, she suggested that maybe it had to do with MM push services -- since it only happens on the iPhone, not on her Mac. We turned off push on her iPhone and voila! It seems to have fixed the issue.
I haven't found anyone else who's connected this with data push on the iPhone. I'd be interested if other folks who try this as a solution would see if it works for them and post results here.

See e-mails sent from Mac on iPhone?

Hi, I have OSX 10.9.1 on my Macbook and ios 7 on my iPhone and I use iCloud. What can I do to make an e-mail sent from my Mac turn up on my iPhone when I search for it on the iPhone for instance by using the sent e-mail´s subject content?
Kind regards

The default setup on the phone does not synchronise the "sent" folder, so it wont appear on your webmail account.
If you enable synchronisation for that folder, it will appear on your webmail account as a new folder called "sent items", So you end up with a "sent" and a "sent items" folder on your webmail account.
You can enable folder sychronisation by the following sequence.
Messaging - select account - press menu - select "folders (5)" - press menu - select "manage folder (2)".
You will then be given the option whether to sync, or not sync a folder.
Any folder that you sync, will appear on your webmail account next time you connect.
This only works for the default IMAP setup.

Import a new mail account from mac to iPhone

Hello folks,
I have a macbook pro and an iPhone 4. The first time I connected my iPhone to the macbook it imported all the mail accounts, with all the settings and so on. Now, I create a new email account on my macbook and I cannot figure out how to import this new mail account on the iPhone. Could you help me please?
Thanks

Oh no So if I want this account on my iPhone I have to create it directly from iPhone
Correct.
You create the account in mail on your Mac & on your phone. Since it's an exchange account, they will both be kept in sync. When you select sync mail accounts in iTunes, it's only the account settings that are synced, no actual messages are synced at all. You normally only do this one to transfer the account settings to your phone.

Ipad mail retrieve from Trash

I can delete mail from the iPad, but how do I retrieve mail from the trash? The trash icon is grayed out.
Also, spell check. How does that work on the iPad?
Thank you.
-Phyllis

Well I tried the methods above but none worked I guess it is because of the new iOS 5 not sure but did not work for me at all and I have iPad 1. On the other hand for those interested, what worked is that you got to make sure you on the starting page meaning tapping until you reach all inboxes at top left corner of the screen. Once on the home screen. There will be 2 groups Inboxes and Accounts. Go to accounts and tap the one you wish to retrieve from for example [email protected] then this will take you to the another home screen for this account with all the folders in there. Tap the trash, bin, etc names will vary according to the hosting email client (yahoo, hotmail, etc) to retrieve. If you have moved the email into another folder...you will have to browse each folder until you got it back.
CAUTION: for each account you will have to set up the settings that each time you delete a message, it goes to the corresponding trash/bin for this account. Usually this will be set automatically, if in Mail desktop it is provided that you have not changed the settings whilst setting up your email accounts. When you sync with iTunes Desktop settings will be applied automatically on iPad and you just have to sit back whilst waiting for iTunes to work for you on this one. If you have changed your settings then you will have to make sure that the correct settings are applied for each accounts by going to settings-mail,contacts, calendars and accounts the repeat for each account! For more safety and peace of mind I advise backing up your mail accounts to iCloud which is made simple on iOS 5 and OS X Mountain Lion Good luck!

Problems with Apple Mail retrieval from EarthLink

I just bought a new computer (MacBook Pro 10.8.2 Mountain Lion) and when trying to set up Apple Mail v.6.2 I have a problem. It won't connect properly with my ISP email (EarthLink). I am unable to retrieve any POP mail on Apple Mail. It keeps saying "Logging in to the Earthlink POP server "pop.earthlink.net" failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct....." However, I am able to send mail via Apple Mail because the outgoing mail server (smtpauth.earthlink.net) does work. It's strange because it's the same user and password. So I can send but not retrieve using Apple Mail.
I also have Thunderbird, which I don't really like, and its POP setup both sends and retrieves from EarthLink without a problem. Plus I can always go to the EarthLink website if necessary. So this is not critical, but I prefer Apple Mail.
Any ideas?
(I'm also going to contact EarthLink to see if they can help.)

I'm having this difficulty with my shared host provider as well. hostpapa.ca keeps telling me to 'check my account settings.' This is not difficult to do and the error code I keep getting tells me that there's a problem connecting to the mail server.
While I argue with them, is it possible that there is a problem from within Apple Mail or with my wifi? Mail works well when I'm not on my home network - at the office, on 3G, if I use webmail, if I connect directly to my DSL modem. I tried to delete the account and add it in again - but it just won't connect when on wifi.
I'm wondering if there's anyone who has an answer to this...?

Mail moved from .mac inbox to .mac server not updating on both machines

this is a weird one. i have a .mac account which i use for my email and i run apple's mail app. on both my imac and my ibook. it used to be that if i read some new mail in my .mac inbox and then either deleted it or dragged it to one of my folders on the .mac server, when i went to my other machine, mail would recognize that i've done this and everything would look exactly as it did on the original machine - messages either deleted or moved. not so anymore. now i go to the other machine and the messages that i've either read or moved still appear as unread. when i ask this machine to go and look for new mail, it finds things so it's not as if it's not talking to the .mac server at all. don't even ask me what happens if i start moving those same files around on the second machine. i have no idea how it can think both exist. it's like quantum physics or something. it's this but it's that. very strange.

What I did with moderate success:
-- A backup from the SL server installation I had + another separate backup of /var/spool/imap/dovecot directory.
-- Some other backups, for example Server Admin prefs, OD, Shared Files, etc.
-- Since the server was a mess, formatted the disk and installed Lion Server from scratch.
-- In my case, there was a mess with users and the way Mail was handled with virtual aliases, etc. I read about how the dovecot directory worked from the link provided before and decided to follow a similar approach, with some issues
-------- Created the new users in Lion Server and used the Server app to get into the Directory app and find the new user's GUIDs (about 30 users so it took a while but weren't too many).
-------- Looked up the old GUID for each user and pulled the corresponding mail directory from /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail changing the directory name with the new name and
-------- IMPORTANT: also changing the owner as suggested on the link (i.e., _dovecot=read/write, everyone=none). These permission modifications need to be applied recursively, which is easier using terminal.
-- The issue with this method is that it seems to, sometimes(?), update the file modification dates, which in turn may cause Mail.app on OS X and on iOS Mail to show incorrect dates for each e-mail on the mail list.
-------- I'm still reading about how to correct this issue I found with a particularly huge Inbox (50K+ mails, around 50GB, yikes).
-------- In my case the rest of the config was pretty simple, I used the Server app the setup DNS and Server Admin + modified postfix config file to suit some other requirements.
I hope I'm staying on topic on this thread and that my experience can be of help, in case others run into the same issues.

Mail lost from .mac and locally, can i restore from cache???

Hi,
I have 2 years worth of messages about 3000 on .mac and have
set up tiger mail to view these via imap and cache all messages
and attachments locally.
A couple of days ago i got a warning you are running out of space from
.mac so deleted (via the webmail interface) the oldest 500 messages.
I also deleted them from trash (again via the web interface).
When i then opened mail it showed 0 messages. I then logged back
into .mac webmail and all messages had been deleted!!!
I emailed .mac support about restoring my account but am not getting
any sensible help.
I have located in my mail/imap folder the cache folder which contains most messages (no emlx extension) up to 17 June 2006, it is about 600Mb.
However the message folder is empty (contains one recent message).
I have tried setting up a dummy imap account and moving the data to it and attempting to import the mailbox back in but no joy. Most help I can find is targetted at people who still have the message folder intact.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

Hi Toby.
Sounds like you upgraded to Tiger Mail around 17 June 2006, right? And the cache folder you're talking about is called CachedMessages, right? If that's the case, then what seems to have happened is the following.
For some reason, your mail was deleted from the server (don't ask me why), and Mail deleted the cached copies from your disk as well after synchronizing with the server. BUT, the format used by Mail 2.x to store messages on disk is different from the format used by Mail 1.x. The CachedMessages folder is where Mail 1.x stored cached messages. Mail 2.x uses Messages folders and *.emlx files instead. Mail 2.x leaves the old files used by Mail 1.x there and just ignores them after the conversion. That's why CachedMessages has survived the disaster, whereas Messages hasn't. And that's also why you cannot see the cached messages in Mail now.
The only way I know of to recover those messages is using Emailchemy to convert them to mbox format first, then import them back into Mail doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Other as the data format. I haven't tried Emailchemy myself, so I don't know how it works.

Mail Retrieval from POP server with Pipex

Having just moved house, I've had the displeasure of having to disconnect and re-connect my broadband connection through Pipex.
I've re-configured my email settings with my new pipex email address and username, and can send emails without any problems.
However, Mail doesn't retrieve any email from the pop server, and having checked the settings countless times, I cannot for the life of me figure out why Mail doesn't pull the emails from the server.
I've configured my wifes laptop (running windows) and the email sends and receives perfectly from the same account I'm trying on my iMac.
I've phoned Pipex tech support (who don't support Mac questions), and they have confirmed that I have the correct settings, and that they are the same settings for Windows or OSX.
The only thing that has changed as I see it, is my pipex user name and password, which I know are correct as I can send email from the Mail application.
Anyone else had a similar problem?
Am I missing something?
The pop setting is pop.dsl.pipex.com
The smtp setting is smtp.dsl.pipex.com
Can anyone help?

In Rules, you can set up the condition that if "From: contains" whatever is the sending email address of the RSS feed (assuming that these messages are relayed that way and don't come addressed as being from the O.P.), then delete it or move it to a mail folder that you have set up to be "on your mac" and not on the imap server. Or you can create a new condition, based on, for example, "Header contains" or "message body contains, and find some unique attribute only common to these particular messages to use as the evaluation criterion.
Many of these subscriptions let you select a "digest" delivery option so you will get a daily or weekly dump of all the posts, all concatenated into a single email message sent daily (or weekly or whatever). If your subscription has that delivery option, I would recommend that you consider that as your preferred delivery format.

Copy Mail Rules from Mac Pro to Macbook Air in Mavericks 10.9

Hi All-
I have a Mac Pro running Mavericks 10.9 and a Macbook Air also running 10.9. I have set up a very detailed set of rules for organizing my incoming email on my Mac Pro that I would also like to use on my Macbook Air.
Details:
Mac Pro - Mavericks 10.9
Macbook Air - Mavericks 10.9
Application - Apple Mail
Mail setting use IMAP on both machines
iCloud used to sync everything else on both machines
Is there a way to copy the mail rules I have set up on my Mac Pro to my Macbook Air?
Thanks in advance!

William-
I checked iCloud "Documents & Data" / Options and I see Preview and iMovie in there but nothing about Mail.
Do step by step instructions exist anywhere? Seems like a handy feature in Mavericks but I can't find a peep about it.
Thanks!

For the past day or 2 mail sent from .Mac Mail is not being delivered.

I have been using .Mac Mail and Apple Mail application on my computer for about 10 months. The past 2 days when I go to .Mac Mail online, compose an e-mail, click on send, get the message that says, "Your message has been sent." The e-mail is also in my Sent folder but the e-mail message is not delivered. I sent an e-mail this way to my Hotmail account, my Yahoo account and even to myself at my .Mac Mail account and none of them were delivered. I tried several times at different times and I just tried again now. Still no good. They never went to any of the inboxes even hours later. Is there something wrong with the outgoing .Mac Mail sever? Or what else can it be?

You didn't say what troubleshooting you did after the firmware update and problem...
To get started...
Verify your drive with Disk Utility.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility (probably not the issue, but won't hurt)
Try:
mailbfr -o
mailbfr -f
If you are still stuck, you'll need to post more detail about your configuration, hopefully more log detail and the contents of imapd.conf and the output of postconf -n

Import Mail settings from Mac to iPhone?

Hi folks,
I've had my iPhone for a couple of months now, but only recently have I discovered that I couldn't send email... It must have happened recently, though, because I remember sending email to various contacts a few weeks ago because I was away from home and in a hurry to send those emails. In any case, I can't send any email anymore, from either one of the four email accounts I have set in Mail on my iPhone : every time I try, I get an error message stating my password is wrong, even though I'm absolutely sure it isn't. So I've been thinking, since I have the same accounts set in my MacBook Pro's Mail (and incidentally in Thunderbird), is it possible to import those settings on my iPhone via iTunes?

No, but you can try to set it up at this link, http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/

E-mail account from .mac account

I had a family account with .mac which allowed me to have multiple e-mail addresses. One of thoes e-mail addresses is now inaccesible/inactive since the transition, and I'm not sure how to make it work again? The main e-mail account works fine. . . .

Have you migrated the sub account to iCloud yet.
Move
If not you need to do it with urgency, the option may not be around for much longer.
