PC's receiving my Mail emails get odd characters

Not every time, PC using colleagues get a black outlines of squares in the body parts of the text when I send them an email. It usually happens when I edit an email before sending it to them. They return the email to me or REPLY and sometimes these marks can appear on my Mac as black diamonds with a "?" reversed out in clear.
One colleague almost always receives 2 copies of the email, one above the other.The top copy has the hollow squares while the copy below has each line starting with a ">" mark but no hollow squares.
I'm using Mail for these emails and inside that a POP account
Any suggestions please?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately not all PC e-mail programs support CR/LF of Mac OS X Mail, and hence the strange formatting.
If you are sending e-mail via RTF, it is better to use Plain Text in your composing preferences. If you must have non-ASCII formatting, I would publish a website, and just refer your PC counterparts to the webpage in question.

Re: Cannot receive BT Mail emails in Outlook 2013

I USE W 8.1 - YAHOO - OULOOK 2013.
YAHOO IS CONTINUALLY RECEIVING DELAY AND NON DELIVERY MESSAGES FROM THE HOTMAIL POSTMASTER.
THEY REFER TO EMAILS THAT I HAVE SENT AND ARE NOT SPAM NOR HAVE THE ADDRESSEES RECEIVED THEM.
THESE DELAY AND NON DELIVERY MESSAGES DO NOT COME IN TO MY OUTLOOK 'IN' BOX?
IN ADDITION A BT MAIL ICON HAS APPEARED ON MY START SCREEN WHOSE CONTENTS ARE A MIRROR IMAGE OF MY YAHOO EMAILS BOTH IN AND OUT - WHY?
MANY SEEM TO THINK W 8.1 AND OUTLOOK 2013 DO NOT WORK WELL TOGETHER AND ITS BETTER TO USE WLM?
ANY ADVICE AND GUIDANCE WOULD BE MOST WELCOME.
THANK YOU.

It is quite easy to set up WLM and just try it and see if there is any improvement. You needn't delete anything from Outlook 2013.
PS You seem to have hit the Caps Lock key.

Kept receiving duplicated mails and getting stuck

Even I deleted that mail on the server, the mail client kept downloading the same one each time I open the program.
And it always get stuck in 25/60 forever, can't have any other mails pass through.
I managed to download emails on another desktop with the same accouts settings without any problems.
So what's wrong with my laptop?
(I dropped it from 1 meter high 2 days ago. Could be the hardriver? How can I fix it?)

Hi Vincent.
Welcome to the Apple forums.
The fact that you dropped it could be the reason you are having trouble. It is possible that you have sustained HD damage in which case you will need to have it repaired by Apple. If there is visible external damage then it is possible that there is internal damage. To be honest with you I've never known a laptop of any make that takes kindly to being dropped. If the HD has been damaged then the data on it may not be recoverable.
Cheers

My NEW MAIL and OLD MAIL emails get deleted at random

At least twice in the last week, all of my NEW MAIL and OLD MAIL files were deleted. Some of these are very important files. I cannot work with a system that deletes my files, so that needs to be fixed. Also, I'd like to have ny deleted files restored.

Firefox doesn't even do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

" ï¿½ Kit contains a" Why do I get odd characters on web pages?

I've noticed that different web pages display non-alpha characters. The above example was on Amanzon; other pages on discovery channel pages.

Make sure that you have selected the correct encoding (possibly Unicode (UTF-8)) for those pages.

837 - can receive e-mail but cannot send.

Hi guys,
I've just installed a 837 at restaurant. The client checks his e-mail via outlook. He can receive e-mail but gets errors when trying to send. Any ideas. Everything else works great.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
The guru in our office that configured this router
says that he cannot figure out why we cannot send e-mail via outlook. I put the old router and cable modem back in at the site and we could send and receive e-mail via outlook fine. ( PPOE setup )
Put the Cisco back in and no luck.
This is the config file. If anybody can point me in the right direction to make the change I will try it at the site. We are using port 4 (10.100.100.1)to connect to a linksys for public internet access. He is behind the 192.168.100.xxx subnet.
Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance.

Odd characters when printing PDFs from iMac (10.6.3)

When printing a PDF from the iMac (new 27") above, we get odd characters printed down the right margin of the page. These characters do not appear when viewing in either Acrobat Reader or Preview. This also does not happen when printing from Parallels. The printer is an HP Officejet 6000. Just to throw an added wrench into this, the problem does not happen when printing from a new Mac Mini (also 10.6.3) to the same printer. Any solutions?

Check whether the fonts installed and active are the same. In particular, look for font conflicts in Font Book, and resolve them so both computers are using the same versions.

What can I do to get my email? - I have to restart each time before it will receive new mail

Mail is not receiving new emails. When I know I've received a new email (it comes through fine on my ipad), I have to restart Mail to get it to connect to the server. In my settings I have mail set to automatically check every minute. Even if I hit the Get mail button, nothing happens.
I switched over from Office and now sorry I did.
Any help would be appreciated.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I have been receiving the message ' Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed' but I am connected to WIFI

I have been receiving the message ' Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed' but I am connected to WIFI. I have also been receiving 'Cannot send mail, an error occurred while delivering this message.

Hmm, that's odd JeanEB. The error message referts to the connection to your email server not to cellular data or connection to wi-fi. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Select your account and type in your password again. If this doesn't resolve it, delete/re-add the email account.

I can get my email from the iCloud website, but my password won't work on my home computer to receive and send email

When I open my email on my home computer, I can't receive or send email that is @mac based. I get a message that my passwork is invalid. When I go to the iCloud website, my password works just fine. Any clues?

Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

When I open mail I get a list of the messages received but when I click on a message it does not displaying the main window. I have 2 different mail accounts

Just bought a new MacMini(my first Apple PC) and when I open mail I get the brief details of mail received but whe I click on the message to read the details I get a "loading" sign but the message is not displayed.
Any help for a Dumbo would be appreciated.

Very strange, do you have any AV or Web filtering apps like Norton installed?
Do the working accounts use a different Port or Authentication than the non-working one?
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

Hello Naila1,
It sounds like you are unable to send emails, as they go straight to the outbox, but you can get the emails without issue. I recommend using the Connection Doctor to help you troubleshoot what is happening with the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

When I send or receive e-mail, the mail gets changed significantly from its' original form.....typestyle, size of letters, symbols, page layout, color, everything changes.....is there a way to fix that?.....

When I send or receive e-mail (Thunderbird).....the mail gets changed significantly from its original form.....typestyle, font size, symbols, page layout, color.....everything changes.....is there a way to fix that so my the original form of the mail is not changed?.....

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Mail, I have recently been receiving inappropriate mail which I have put to junk and deleted but they keep on coming sometimes 3 or 4 a day, how can I get rid of these once and for all. I am a lady of advancing years and do not want this.

I have recently started to receive inappropriate mail. Although I have never opened it I can tell that it is of a pornographic nature. As well as this I constantly receive mail offering me P**** enlargement drugs. Since I am a lady of advanced years I want neither of theses !!! Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this unwanted stuff. I receive at least 4 of them everyday and am quite frankly fed up putting them into junk and deleting them, but still they keep coming. Can anyone help please.

If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com then your email is located on Apple's iCloud service. To access that email via the web, click on this link:
https://www.icloud.com/#mail
...and then sign in.
...and what should I do when I get into it?
See these Apple articles:
iCloud: Manage junk mail
iCloud: Read email
