Printing a mail message from a preview screen

December 16, 2008 the mail and preview programs were updated on my Mac. Since then, I have not been able to print or preview an email messages. The following alert shows up: Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any resolutions?

I didn't know you could open email in Preview, much less print it from there. Preview is a graphic file reader, not a text file reader, so AFAIK, you're confusing it's capabilities.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

  • Opened mail messages not visible on screen

    all of a sudden, when I open a mail message from my inbox, or any other mailbox, the message opens up on the top left side of my screen, but is only partially visible. I am unable to drag the message back into the center of the screen. Although I can click on and drag the bottom, right hand corner, that only increases the size of the message window, but does not unhide the rest of the message and the message header from the top, right hand side.
    additionally, when I click on mail preferences, or about mail, the related info is no longer visible on the screen.
    The mail inbox however, is fully visible.
    thanks for any help with this.

    quit Mail and start it again. is it still doing this? if so your Mail preferences are likely corrupt. quit Mail and delete (or move to the desktop) the file ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. ~ means your home directory. you can get to it by clicking on the house icon in the sidebar of any finder window or by going to /users/username.
    then start Mail. you'll have to recreate all your email accounts so make sure you know all their settings. once recreated they will recognize their existing mailboxes. see if Mail behaves after that.
    Alternatively, if you have a backup, restore com.apple.mail.plist from backup from before the problems with Mail started. Mail should not be running when you do this.

  • 8830..Moving e-mail messages from Inbox to other folder

    On my 8830...When I move e-mail messages from my Inbox to a different folder (under Inbox), they disappear totally from my laptop e-mail rather than mirroring what I did on my BlackBerry.  On the flip side, if I move messages from my Inbox to another folder on my laptop, it does mirror on my BlackBerry.  My e-mail is Outlook 2003, running on my company's Microsoft Exchange Server.  Please help.

    Since you have folders under your Inbox, I can only assume you're on a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) setup receiving your Corporate email.  If that's not the case, I can't figure out how you got folders under your Inbox, and have NO IDEA how you're getting the results you're getting as BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) email accounts can't have folders!
    You most likely don't have reconciliation enabled for the folders you're moving your email to.
    Go into Messages, hit the [Menu] button and select Options --> Email Settings.  Hit the [Menu] button and select Folder Redirection. 
    You should see your Mailbox at the top with a + to the left of it.  Highlight that line, hit [Menu] --> Expand to display the main folders under your Mailbox.  Your Inbox should appear with a Box next to it either checked or filled in. 
    Highlight Inbox, and again hit [Menu] --> Expand to display the folders under your Inbox.  All the folders under your Inbox, and the boxes are probably unchecked or not "filled in".  Scroll to the folders you want reconciled with your BlackBerry and hit [Space] to check or fill the box next to it.  Use [Menu] --> Expand if there's a + to the left of the box to expand subfolders.
    Once all the folders you want reconciled are checked or filled, hit [Esc] and save.
    Now your email won't dissappear when you move it!  You should also notice in the Messages list that email in folders other than your Inbox have a folder icon rather than an Envelope icon.
    And before you ask...  The BlackBerry does NOT SYNCHRONIZE, it Reconciles.  Email is pushed to the device ONCE, and only changes to the status of messages are transmitted after that.  Moves will only be reflected after you've turned Reconciliation on for a given folder.  BTW - emails you moved that disappeared should have been in your Deleted Items folder.
    Reconciliation rather than Synchronization saves enormously on data transmission ($) as well as Battery life.  Believe me - we have both BlackBerries (Big Wigs only) and Windows Mobile (the rest of the 25,000 peons) devices at my company, and the most common complaint about the Windows devices is battery life, and HUGE costs when the device is overseas!

  • Having trouble moving mail messages from one user to another

    I am trying to move mail messages from one user to another on my Macbook, and I cannot seem to do it. I've tried archive, but I don't think I'm doing it right. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Noreen
    Message was edited by: reensjp

    I had to go to the Mac store to get the answer to this one... i was archiving correctly, but you need to save the mbox files to your desktop, then move them to the shared folder, that way all users have access. I also had to edit the permissions on the files, as the user i wanted to have the emails didn't have permission to even look at the files.

  • Can I print a Mail message without multiple recipient names?

    Is there a way to print a Mail message without having also to print the dozens of recipients, where that's the case? I can't see an obvious way, but I'm sure I used to be able to do this. I'd be grateful if anyone knows how.

    HI,
    Go here and download this utility. Print Selection 1.1
    "You can select text and graphics in any cocoa application (safari, mail.app, etc.), go to the services menu and go to "Print Selection" and the selected stuff will be printed."

  • TS3899 I send an e-mail message from my iPhone 5c and it shows up in Sent folder as a duplicate, 2 of the same e-mail messages sent at the same time.

    I send an e-mail message from my iPhone 5c and it shows up in Sent folder as a duplicate message. 2 identical messages sent at the same time. What's up with this? Tried Apple Support by phone, and did a couple of troubleshoots, then my connection with Apple Support was cut off. Issue not resolved yet.

    Did the mail get sent? Is the only issue the fact that it appears twice in the Sent folder?

  • How do I keep Mail messages from vanishing?

    I don't use  iCloud for much, but I have sent a few Mail messages from my iPad (iCloud address) and I have received a few at that address that I need to be able to view on my Mac and to have available for viewing on my iPad. The received messages consistently disappear after a few weeks. The most recent one that I forwarded to my iCloud address from my desktop machine appeared in the list of messages (already a very short list due to the vanishing act) for a nanosecond when I first opened Mail on my iPad, and then vanished. Only a single message is still there out of maybe a dozen messages that ought to be there.
    The iPad is running the most recent iOS version. I use Snow Leopard most of the time on my Mac, but I boot into Mountain Lion when I have to: I sync the iPad in Mountain Lion. I access iCloud through my browser when I'm in Snow Leopard.
    What do I have to set or change to make iCloud e-mail at least minimally useful? I've looked at the settings, and don't see anything obvious. My regular e-mail accounts are configured to never automatically be deleted from the server, but I don't see a way to do that with iCloud mail.

    Ok, just discovered it only does this in split-keyboard mode.

  • Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

    Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?  I use HP wireless printer .

    Are you sure you have the right printer?
    In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

  • Help with importing Mail messages from cloned system

    I decided to format and reinstall Snow Leopard on my iMac. Before I did, I backed everything up and, following Apples instructions, thought I had saved all my mail messages etc. It didnt work, or at least, I couldnt get it to work!
    So, I need help getting my messages back.
    I have Time Machine on an external firewire drive but cant access backups earlier than my recent new install. I also have a clone of my old installation on an external ( USB) drive that I can boot to that contains all of the earlier Mail messages I want.
    How can I move the mail messages from that account to my new installation?
    Allan

    I was able to resolve the matter from an extra found on the MS Office CD. Thank you.

  • Using "Mail document" from within Preview

    I noticed that when in Preview if I attempt to use the "Mail document" function under the "File" menu the Preview document does not get attached to the new Mail document. To enable this function I must go to the print menu, scroll down to "Mail document" and, voila, the Preview document now appears in the Mail message panel.
    I suspect a bug here. Have others experienced this?
    (This happens on the G5; I haven't tried on the MacBook Pro.)

    The "Mail Document" option in preview works fine for me...dunno what the problem could be, but perhaps if you removed the preferences file for preview from your "~/Library/Preferences/" folder, that might help resolve it. Faulty preferences files are causing folks a lot of application misbehaviors.

  • How do you stop mail messages from poping up in ipad

    When I turn on my Ipad 3, i receive mail messages in the center of the screen of all new messages.  you have to manually tap each screen in the middle of the screen to continue working.  I changed the setting in general mail to manually fetch the mail, however the messages still pop up.  This is not part of the notifications screen that you can pull down from the top of the screen.  Any suggestions
    Thanks

    Re-visit Settings/Notifications/Mail. It is probably set to "Alerts" which require an action before they are removed. Set it to Banners which go away on their own or None to remove them completely.

  • Mail messages visible in preview, when opened the body disappears

    My emails are visible, but only in preview. When the mail message is opened, the header info and subject are visible but the body of the email is blank. Thoughts?

    Close the Mail app and is going to work.
    How to:
    1 - Go to Home Screen
    2 - On Home Screen, double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar.
    3 - Press and hold any Mail app until it start shaking.
    4 - Press the " - " in top left of the Mail app, it will close the app, don't worry about this.
    5 - Press Home Button to go to Home Screen.
    6 - Open Mail and the body mail will be there.
    If that doesn't work then do a reset and see if they show after the iPhone has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPhone equivalent of a reboot.

  • Recovering Mail messages from Time Machine drive

    I recently deleted some important Mail messages do to my iPhone and iMac Mail sync via the Cloud. The messages are likely (for sure) on my Time Machine drive, but I don't know a simple way to find them. Right now enter Time Machine and can go User> Me> Library> Mail and the into the inbox of the related Mail account and then I am arbitrarily looking in subfolders with # labels, and seeing lists of xml (or whatever they are) files. The are in no order, and when I open them I find messages willy nilly from past dates.
    Is there an easy way to actually find these messages, to search or read the messages in the Time Machine drive to recover specific ones. The method I describe above is simply not workable.
    Thanks.

    Note that you have to open the Time Machine app while you are using the Mail window. If not, a Finder window will pop up and it will not work. After opening the Time Machine app, you should see a screen like this one:
    Then, use the arrows to navigate through your backups, and when you have found the mails you want to restore, select them with the Command key and press "Restore". Note that OS X is in Spanish in my computer, but you should see the text in English.

  • Printing Apple Mail messages without header

    Is there a way to print the body of an Apple Mail message without the header information? I can do a copy paste into Pages and print it from there, but just wondering if there is a faster method. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Until Apple implements the common-sense menu option of View -> Message -> No Headers, you'll have to open Mail's preferences, select the Viewing icon, and set "Show header detail" to "None". Once you've printed the message, you'll probably want to change that setting back to its original value.
