Problem with "sent" mail folder-how do I trash the prefs in Apple Mail?

Since no one has answered my original request for assistance regarding my "Sent Mail" mailbox, I'll move the issue aside and approach it differently: How do I trash the prefs in Apple Mail without trashing my inbox and all the other mailboxes? Trashing the prefs works for most apps, but if I do that to Mail, I'm screwed. My real problem remains: I can no longer see or read the email in my "sent mail" box; I can see the info identifying the entry, but I can't read the contents of the email. It's all there in the Mail folder on my hard drive, but it doesn't show up in the Mail app.
So how can I trash the prefs for "Mail" without trashing my inbox?

Hello b:
I have only had to trash the Mail preference once, and I cannot remember what occurred (except that the application worked OK after that).
Before you trash the preference file, try rebuilding the mailbox(s).

Hello James!
I do not have any ABAP Instance, only the JAVA one.
Therefore the ABAP transactions are quite useless.
The problem tables are created by people working on the CAF layer.
They have developed and deployed some homemade applications and this is leftovers from their development in some kind of way.
Anyone with any ideas?
Could it be that (yet) some special Portal Dictionary Role needs to be asigned to the Administrator?

How do I change the language of Apple Mail under OS 10.8?

I want to change the language used in Apple Mail (I have a French language operating system so instead of "On Sep 3, 2012 XY wrote..." it says "A 3 Sept 2012, XY a ecrit..."
How do I change the language (for Apple Mail only)?
And as we are on the subject, is there a way to personalise the email attribution at all? Eg. to just say "XY [[email protected]] 12/03/09 12:13".
Thanks for any insights!

Entourage problem with sent items folder

I have an "invisible" item in my sent items folder. I keep getting an error that says "The action could not be completed. An unknown error (4362) occurred."
How can I get rid of this invisible file?
I often have to force quit entourage because it seems like it locks up.
Thanks,

Hi Jeremy,
This article should answer your question.

Problems with sent/sending folder, not able to quit??

I am having issues with my Mail 3.6 application recently.
Basically, Mail works perfectly for a few minutes after being opened (it checks new mail, sends mail, etc). Then, after a few minutes, the "Sent" folder turns into "Sending" with that spinning icon that indicates it is sending an email, when I have not sent anything.
Once this begins, I cannot send or save emails, or get any new ones. Furthermore, I cannot even quit the Mail application, and have been having to use the "force quit" option. Today, however, I have not even been able to get it to force quit all of the time, and have been having to shut down the computer.
This is getting increasingly annoying because every time I want to check for or send mail, I have to force quit or restart my computer.
Furthermore, within the "Sent" folder (before it changes to "Sending" unexpectedly), two recent emails are mixed up-- while the "subject" and "to" fields of sent emails look okay, when I click on them, the actual contents of the emails aren't what I sent, they are emails from 1-2 years ago. These two problem emails have been marked as junk by Mail.
Sorry for the long post, but there are issues with my "sent" folder that are making email exasperating and I do not know what to do! Does anyone know what is wrong with my Mail?

I seem to be having a similar problem.
Mail wont quit, unless by forced quit, and
Mail keeps getting old mail and the spinning wheel keeps turning forever.
did you find an answer?

AOL Mail - PROBLEMS with sent mail

My mail is with AOL. Quite often these days I have trouble using Apple Mail. Wondering if it's AOL's problem or something wrong with my computer, or if it's my cable internet provider (Time Warner Cable - which tests at 20/1.75 Mb/sec)
Sent messages occasionally take FOREVER to send (regular text - no attachments). The transfer speed goes from very low to zero. The second problem is that occasionally sent messages don't show up in my sent folder. Most of the time it's these messages that take forever that don't show up. They don't show up in my sent folder at aol.com either. As if they never existed. Yet I do know that they are actually being sent and delivered.
Major frustration.

I have not had any problems using AOL?
Either had I until today. I got a restricted content message when I attempted to post. I had originally used "aol.com" in my message. I assumed this was the problem, so I removed the ".com". Still got the restricted content message. I tried changing "AOL" to "America Online" and it worked.
Strange. Seems to be allowing me to post it now. Don't worry about it.
With the other Sent folder you found, apply Use This Mailbox For and choose Sent. Be sure to first transfer any messages in the one under paper airplane icon to another mailbox it they are not duplicated anywhere else.
When you do this, all should be well. I think AOL sent out instructions at one point to do just this step.
Thank you Ernie! This worked! Bravo!

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

Try looking in your User folder.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

The upgrade to Firefox 4 is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall it and go back to using the previous version?

Firefox 4 is absolutely awful - it is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall Firefox 4 and go back to the previous version of Firefox?

According to the instructions given on the Norton Community forum under "Other Norton Products/Comcast-Customers - Norton Toolbar Problem in Firefox 10", I have done everything necessary. And I do have a Norton toolbar (Safe Web and Identity Safe) when I open Firefox 10. As was mentioned in the previous posts here, you need to run manual LiveUpdate then reboot until you have version 5.2.0.13. Then reboot and run manual LiveUpdate again and reboot once more. One thing that I noticed is that Norton never told me that it had updated the patch for Firefox 10, so I didn't know. I guess if you have the toolbar when you run Firefox 10, then you have done it all.

How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

Have a problem with deletting a folder that has 100+'s folders in it that are locked. Please help.

Put the folder into the trash - go to the Finder menu and hold down the alt key whilst selecting Empty Trash.
I've never tried this with a folder full of locked files, but it certainly works with a single locked file.
Hope that helps!
