If you are sending in Rich Text format and possibly with attachments, and the recipient is using Windows Outlook, the latter has some bugs that could cause this. The easiest fix is to switch to Plain Text.

I recently saved a draft email using mail, but now whenever I try to reopen it, it says loading but will not load. All my other drafts load fine except for this one. Is there a way to access the draft outside of mail?

Cant choose which digital certificate to sign outgoing email in Mail.app

I am posting this here as this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5746197#5746197
was archived.
I just wanted to add that this is still an issue for us. We use three digital certificates inside our organization, one from Thawte, one from caCert, and one from our in-house/private CA. All three work perfectly inside all applications that we use them in. There is on issue which is that if the user clicks the icon on the far right side of their outgoing email to "sign" that email, there is no telling which certificate it will use. We want to use the one from Thawte for all outgoing email but it ends up picking one of the other ones instead & as far as I can tell there is no way to control this or change this.
What I am requesting is that Mail.app ask me which certificate I want to use, either once, in preferences, or each email, or something, as sendind with the wrong one is really not workable.
I think 10.5.2 is a real step forward. Thanks for all the hardwork to make the improvements in it that we see.
Thanks so much.

Somewhere online I found mention that you can assign the cert you don't want to use as untrusted and the one you do want to use as trusted. So in Keychain, double click on your Thawte cert, click on the Trust arrow and change the "When using this certificate:" drop down to "Always Trust". Do the opposite for your other certs.
This way you can still use your other certs for decrypting if anyones uses it to send to you. But you'll always use the trusted cert for signing/encrypting new messages.
I too wish there was a way to explicitly select the cert you want to use but till they allow that, this is the best way I've found to work around the issue.

How can I choose multiple pictures, on the iPad, to attach in an email using Mail?

I can easily choose and attach one picture from Photos to an email in Mail. I cannot seem to figure out how to choose multiple pictures, then attach all of them at once. I even tried using a separate folder to attach but that did not work either. Thanks in advance.

From the Photos app tap Edit.
Tap to select up to 5 photos. More and the Mail option is not possible.
Tap Share.
Tap Mail.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, therefore i can no longer access my emails using mail. I can access my email through my Gmail account no problem, so how do i fix this as i cannot remember my IMAP password.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, as a result i cannot access my google email using the Mac Mail. I cannot remember what the password was for IMAP, so can anyone help to resolve this. i can access my mail by going directly to Google Mail.
Regards JKG1135

The password for use in the Mail application would be the same password you use when accessing Gmail by using an internet browser. The exception to that would be if you have 2-step verification enabled for Gmail. If that is the case then you would need to use an "application-specific password." If you are using 2-step, you can revoke the previous application-specific password and get a new one as described in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

Exchange invite is not appearing in email (using mail)

Hi,
I am using Mail under Tiger for my email system. I have just been sent an ics invite email from the office exchange server, however mail is not showing me the attachement, so I cannot add it to iCal. If I look at the raw message I can see the ics attachement, but for some reason mail isn't picking it up!
I have mail set to not automatically add invites to iCal, although setting it to automatic doesn't make a difference. As far as I am aware this invite was sent directly from the exchange server.
any help ?

same is happening with me. my girlfriend sent me a few invites for events she has in her outlook calender at work in exactly the same way she has always done. I had the option to accept the events before, now it just shows the text part of the mime message (again I can see the ics in the raw message) in Mail and does not create a new event in iCal. I have turned the option in the mail general prefs on and off again to no avail, could it be that I have multiple calanders and there is no option in Mail to choose qwhich calaender the mail events go to? I dont really want to trash my mail prefs unless absolutely necessary

Problem emailing using Mail from iPhoto.

When I email photos from iPhoto using Mail and have text under the photos some of the recipients receive the photos with the text superimposed onto the photo making it illegible. Is there some way to avoid this? If I send a copy to me everything is fine. I am not using any of the "fancy' templates in iPhoto, just plain photos with text.

Since posting this I found another post about this problem. The response to that post should solve my problem.

Cannot access Yahoo Small Business email using Mail icon on main screen of IPad

Until recently I was able to access my Yahoo Small Business email using the main Email button on the home screen - along with my regular Yahoo email. When i contacted Yahoo Small Business for help, the gentleman was unable to help. He just gave me the link to setting up a Yahoo Account on Ipad. My regular Yahoo mail works fine so this wasn't helpful. He said that is all he can do.
I downloaded the Yahoo App and can access both email address from it, but it is less convenient. This tells me it isn't a password issue.
I have tried using:
Incoming mail (POP3) server
pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
use SSl
Port: 995
Outgoing mial (SMTP) server
smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com
use SSL
Port 465 or 587
If anyone can send me the correct steps to set up my small business email so that I can access it via the main button (which I was able to do until recently!), I would appreciate it. In addition, I access both via my Yahoo account on my laptop - no problem. I am using an iPad 2 that was upgraded to Version 7.

Hello there, Susangrillo.

Sending email using Mail from T-Mobile Hot Spot

I cannot send email messages from a Hot Spot using the Mail program. It says it cannot send using the server smtp.mac.com. This is the first problem I've had with this. Today is my first day using a Hot Spot. Has anyone encountered this same issue? Do I have to change some of the settings?
I tried using the Internet based .Mac account and was able to send messages but not directly from Mail program.

5. Does T-Mobile provide me with an email account?
T-Mobile does not provide email accounts for its users.
6. Can I access my personal email account through my T-Mobile HotSpot account?
You can access any web-based email account such as Yahoo.com or Hotmail.com. You can also access corporate email accounts if your employer provides you with a virtual private network (VPN) client and a firewall. T-Mobile strongly recommends that its customers take measures to ensure the security of their wireless connections, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), encryption and firewalls. As with any wireless communication, the T-Mobile HotSpot service is not inherently secure and you should ensure you have adequate security safeguards in place. See the Hotspot Security Statement posted on our website for additional information concerning the security of the service and steps you can take to enhance the security of the service.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can't delete/move emails using Mail app

I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and having problems with my Mail application.
The long and short of it is that I cannot delete or move emails from my Inbox. When I select an email in the preview panel and delete it, it disappears, but when I select the Trash folder, it isn't in there. And when I go back to my Inbox, lo and behold, it is back there again, as if I had never deleted it. The same holds true when I try to move an email from my Inbox to one of my iCloud folders.
Emails come in to my Inbox just fine.
And I am able to move emails from one iCloud folder to another, however.
And I do not have this problem when I access my email via Iphone, ipad or icloud.com. In fact, when I delete an email from my iphone, it gets deleted from my Inbox on my Mail app.
I looked in Mail Preferences, and I have one Account set up: iCloud IMAP. Is that right? I use me.com for my email.
Any ideas here?

This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

I can send but not receive email using Mail and Comcast

My incoming mail [Mac Mail 3.6(936) ] slowed and now has stopped. I get error message "mail.comcast.net" on port 995 timed out. I can send. I can receive at Comcast.net. I have tried changing the port setting to 101 and no SSL and 587 (the comcast online set up guide), etc. and sometimes it works once then fails again. I have deleted the p-list in the Mail Library and restarted and still nothing.
I deleted the account and set it up again but still no luck. Oddly the Preferences says deleting the Accounts will delete everything but the Mailboxes are still there. Part of the problem?
I do not have this issue using Thunderbird which is a program I do not like.
I used Comcast's various online guides, a long useless chat and useless email to no avail. My Primary Account Holder email (which I never use) works but not my every day email account.
MAC OS 10.5.8
MacBook Intel Core Duo
Mac Mail 3.6(936)

*Sorry didn't see how old this thread was* Jono1968 if this could help you......
Here is what I would try -
Run the disk permissions utility....see if a repair works....
On the mail menu, go to Window => Connection Doctor - do you see errors (red dot) If so, what does it say the error is caused by?

Gmail causing issues with other email using mail app

I use the standard mail app for 3 hotmail accounts (with my own domain name) & a work exchange account (which I turn on and off as required). These work well on iPhone 4 & iPad3 using IOS5.1.
However, on adding a gmail account to the mail program I stop receiving all email on the hotmail accounts. As soon as I delete gmail on a device, that device I starts receiving hotmail emails.
The solution for me was to delete the gmail account as I only set it up for analytics & don't need the mail. Although this issue would stop me switching to gmail full time.
Has anyone else encountered this error & found a solution?

No, you can’t. Gmail doesn’t let mail to be downloaded twice by either the same or different POP mail clients.
I believe .Mac actually handles something like this but I do not have it.
Any IMAP account would allow you to do this. Actually, almost any POP account other than Gmail would also at least let you download the same mail on both computers. It’s just Gmail that doesn’t.

Sending Duplicate emails using Mail and mBox for mac

I have been sending duplicate emails inadvertantly recently. It seems it's when I use mBox for mac (registered copy) in Mail to use my Hotmail with IMAP.
I hadn't noticed it at first, but now I see everytime I send a mail I get 2 copies in my sent box. I can turn off the store sent messages on server option to fix it (but that's the whole point of having IMAP!!), or I can turn off mBox for mac and it also seems to work (but then I can't use IMAP!).    I've also tried on the same machine from gmail, and iCloud accounts (MobileMe), and I had no issue at all. I've also tried 2 different Hotmail accounts, and both of them send double messages every time I send.
I've searched for a loooooong time, and can't find anyone with a similar issue - but surely I'm not the only one? I think anyone still using a hotmail account will eventually install something like mBox for mac if they've gone Mac recently - as I have.
I checked the mail headers of the 2 mails, and they are quite different (masked where appropriate) -

I'm surprised I can't find anyone else with a similar issue. I've submitted a support ticket with mBox/fluent factory, but I'm still not convinced it's their issue, and possibly a Mail on Mac issue.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

@ Kokola
Great staff!!! MBox Fluent Factory is very poor app.
I was having problem with duplicated sent emails and cleaning up my inbox, sent items and deleting emails. Try to contact them via email for over 3 months and never got a reply!
I just used the suggested configuration and my Entourage (email app for MAC) is working perfetcly. I can visualise all my online folders now!
Thank you so much!
mBox never addressed the issue and the duplicated emails reached new levels of annoyance but the good thing is that Hotmail and Outlook.com finally rolled out support for IMAP.
Incoming Mail Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/send-receive-from-app
No more duplication issues once you switch over, and no need for a third party (mBox)software to bridge the missing feature gap.

Paypal button in email using Mail 4.2?

Hi, I've been trying to put a Donate button from Paypal in my email forever, but all I get is the pasted url -- not the graphic of the button. What am I doing wrong? Mail 4.2. The instructions on Paypal say to copy the url code, which I do, and paste it in the email, which I do. I must be missing something!

Hi G:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I love new problems and I also use PayPal.
What I did to include one of the gifs from the PayPay account was this (might be convoluted). I cut/pasted the code into an E-mail. Then I sent it to myself. The E-mail then had a URL link to the gif (when clicked, the gif appeared). Clicked on that and saved it (right click) to my desktop. Then I sent myself an E-mail and attached the gif from my desktop. Voila, the logo was in my E-mail.
