Problems while migrating to Mail 6 - Mountain Lion

Is there a way ro recover lost mails while migrating to Mountain Lion ? And why did I loose all the mails in the first place ?
After the upgrade to Mountain Lion, on July 27, I started Mail and I could read or retreive mails from 2 different POP accounts (Bluewin/Swisscom and Skynet/Belgacom). I checked the configuration of the 2 POP accounts and I used the tool provided by Swisscom i.e. SwisscomEmailRepair to no avail. All mail accounts on my Mac had, without any warning whatsoever, disappeared (including InBox and Sent items) ...
Gmail and me.com mail accounts were reset without any problem. I have been struggling with the 2 POP a/c. I checked with the Swisscom guys about their tool and they confirmed that it only modified "Servers, User name and password".
It seems that I am not the only one with problems... any good advice is welcome :-)

Finally, I found a solution.:-)
When creating a mail account for Swisscom for example, you have no choice to the type of account. You get automatically an IMAP one. By forcing the Mac wizzard to build the account manually, by entering dummy info, I managed to reconfigure my mails in the way I wanted. However, It didn't work right away. Before creating manually the accounts, I suppressed all of them in the system preference. I took out all the login info in the key chain and then restarted the Mac.

Connection Problems with iMAP and Mail in Mountain Lion

Hi everybody,
since the Update on Mountain Lion I am having the following problem:
When my iMac wakes up after some time, Mail isn't working anymore by showing the triangle with the exclamation mark. By clicking on it it shows the following picture (sorry for being in german). What you see is, that the internet connection works fine but Mail says it cannot connect to the iCloud iMAP Server. I should check if iCloud supports SSL and if it does not, deactivate it...
After closing Mail an reopening it again, everything works fine until the next episode of waking up...
Any hints??
Thanks!!
Stefan

If you do, I highly recommend wiping the harddrive and doing a clean
install. An upgrade install, especially from two versions back is going
to be nothing short of a crapshoot.
Deactivate any software before doing so.

NHS mail with Mountain Lion

Anyone having problems with their NHS-mail using Mountain Lion (e.g. 10.8.4)?
Upon creating my NHS account on Mac-mail I have encountered repeated problems.
The mails disappear at random times or each time I reboot my Macbook Air. At random times, the mails begin to reload and then disappear again.
This did not happen with my previous Macbook Air, which had Snow Leopard, and it does not occur with my other email accounts with Mountain Lion.
I called Mac Support who suggested I remove the NHS-mail account from the Mac-mail and then recreat it, but this has not resolved the problem.
Can anyone assist, please?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4363 - this is all I can suggest.
If they can't give you enough help, http://www.mail2web.com/ or http://www.altomail.com/ might work better at accessing it via web browser. Microsoft Outlook for the Mac also has good Exchange support, but you have to buy the full Microsoft Office 2011 suite for the Mac. Older versions may work as well, under Entourage. Storing mail on your computer though can lead to significant data corruption of e-mail if you have large e-mail storage of over 4 GB.

Problems deleting mail from apple mail under mountain lion

I'm a little baffled by the way that the DELETE function works on Mail in Mountain Lion. When I delete a mail from "All Inboxes" it appears to remain in the individual inbox. I have GMAIL and Mac.com mail being gathered into apple mail. I should note that I have GMAIL pulling apple mail into GMAIL, but it's supposed to delete it from Mac.com once the mail is pulled into GMAIL.
Any ideas?

I am suddenly having the same issue in mac mail. Giving me an error message "email name cannot be moved to the mailbox null" "Destination mailbox null does not allow messages to be moved to it" I have no idea what mailbox "null" is. This just started happening a day ago... Any suggestions?

Exporting OS X Mail from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail was a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade. But I think I found a way to Export Mail from ML to (a clean install of) SL.
Try this:
1. Open Mail in ML. For each folder you wish to have back in SL, Export it to your ML Desktop as an .mbox file. Depending on the folder size, this can take from a few seconds to several minutes. You'll see an .mbox icon for the particular folder on your Desktop. If the word "partial" appears between the folder name and the .mbox suffix, wait a few moments for the Export to complete, at which time the word "partial" will disappear. E.g., for a folder named "Mary", if it's a huge one, the icon will first appear as "Mary.partial.mbox"; when the Export is done, you'll see "Mary.mbox".
2. When you've Exported all your desired folders as above, you can exit ML and re-start your Mac in SL. Open Mail in Snow Leopard, and once again, for each file you just Exported in ML to the Desktop there, select "Import Data From Apple Mail" and choose the folder from the Desktop in ML to which your mboxes were Exported. When the Import starts, you can see via a progress bar how far along it is. When done, you'll see a new folder in your SL Mail called "Import"; click on it to reveal the folder you just Imported!
3. Then drag the folder you just Imported out of the Import folder to "On My Mac" in SL Mail; you can then delete the Import folder.
4. Repeat until all your folders are where you want them (in SL).
5. When you have time, go back into ML and clear all those .mbox files from your Desktop.
There MAY be an easier way, but this is what worked for me.

The iOS view vs classic view in Mail is not the problem; I've already configured for classic view.
Mountain Lion itself is.
My short list (to date) of crappy Mountain Lion behavior; items marked with a double asterisk (**)represent the worst of Mountain Lion for me.
** No up/down arrows in scroll bar slider;
Expose` not as easy to navigate as in Snow Leopard;
Mail does not request passwords for either receive or send;
No "Save Draft" icon in Mail compose window (workaround: use command-s);
"Save As" selection missing in most app menus;
No separate Search window in Safari (workaround: use Firefox or Opera);
** Can't export Mail from Mountain Lion into Snow Leopard if downgrading (I compiled this list before I stumbled on the method in this thread, but I'd prefer to effect this with Unix symbolic links);
iWork 09 seems to have "circled the wagons" re compatibility with MS Office or LibreOffice (workaround: just use Libreoffice);

Using Gmail through Mail in Mountain Lion - issue with inbox syncing across multiple machines

Hi. I am using Gmail through Mail in Mountain Lion on my iMac, as well as Mail in my iPad and iPhone. Generally speaking Mail seems to sync well across the three machines. However for some reason when I view an email in my inbox on either my iPhone or my iPad, the inbox on my iMac does not reflect the fact the email has been read: ie, while the email is marked as having been 'read' across both my iPad and iPhone, it remains 'unread' on my iMac. It is really frustrating and stuffs up the process managing the flow of emails. Is anyone able to help me please? Thanks so much.
Best
Jordan

Hi SB. Thanks for your advice. I checked and I am using the recommended settings. I'm still not sure how to fix this. It's very irritating! I will read an email on my ipad, then hit my imac and see that the email is sitting unread in my Mail inbox.

How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Two users, one account, in Mac Mail on Mountain Lion?

Background: My wife and I share a single mac mail account. Prior to Mail 6 (Mountain Lion), each of us would set our own "full name" in the account preferences. In Mail 6, this field is greyed out, since you now set it in iCloud. The obvious problem here is that we no longer can each have our own "full name" ... so recipents cannot quickly see in their inbox who sent the message.
It looks like Apple is limiting the "full name" to only a single entry (set in the cloud). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
scott

"Bumping" ... anyone have a solution?

Cant send mails with mountain lion

cant send mails with mountain lion, but i can recive....

Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

How can I change order of email accounts in Mail on Mountain Lion?

In Mail on Mountain Lion I have only two email accounts, but the wrong one has been set as default (because it was an account I had overlooked and added later). I cannot find how to change the order of the email accounts. One possibility is to delete the non-default account and re-add it, so that it becomes the most recent and thus (presumably) the default, but this would delete all the email messages in that account, which I cannot afford.
It's a great flaming pain to try to remember each email I write to select the second account option, and yet I can find no way to change email account order---not in Mail and not in System Preferences. Dragging them certainly does not work.
Can Apple have really missed this? Is there any solution?

Comfortable with terminal...know how to edit using TextEdit:
Open up a Terminal and use the following commands to change your Mail.app preferences file to an XML format – the default format is binary, and you can't edit this.
cd ~/Library/Preferences
plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.mail.plist
Then, open this file com.apple.mail.plist with a text editor of your choice, preferably one that highlights XML syntax, but you can also use TextEdit:
open -a "TextEdit" com.apple.mail.plist
Now, look for the key called MailAccounts. It's value is an array, with dict children. Here, you'll find all your mail accounts in the order they were created in.
You can now manually move these dict children around. Save the XML file and reopen Mail. Now, your Mail account order will be changed.

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.

In "purchases" while in my App Store, Mountain Lion says, "an error has occurred" and the green 'download' button is grey and I cannot re-start the download. I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost.

In "purchases" while in my App Store, Mountain Lion says, "an error has occurred" and the green 'download' button is grey and I cannot re-start the download. I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost. At the time, Apple was still offering the e-chat, so I did that and the man was very helpful and it was a quick fix, so my download button turned green again, and I was able to begin the download. BUT during the download, I was kicked offline once again, and I decided to wait until I was back in the USA. I will go in to an Apple store and ask assistance, but if there is something I am missing, I'd like to try that first. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Problems while migrating PDK applications from Portal 7.1 to Portal 7.3

Hi All,
I am facing a problem while migrating a PDK application from Portal 7.1 to Portal 7.3.
Since Portal 7.3 doesnt support PAR files any more it provided with a tool to convert the PAR to an EAR file and deploy the resultant EAR to the new portal.
I converted the PAR into EAR and deployed the file but the application is not executing. When I looked into the log files i found the following exception. The application is not able to identify the tag "documentBody". I checked the protalapp.xml and the "SharingReference" is properly maintained in the file but the error message suggests that its not able to fine the reference to the tagLib uri maintained in the portalapp.xml
Now my question is why is it not able to obtain a reference to the taglib? Did any one face similar problem previously. Can you please provide me with any document for migrating / developing PDK application for Portal 7.3

Hi Amit,
Thanks for your reply. I could see some progress after "thoroughly" going through those links. Thanks a lot (gave points too )
Now I am facing another problem. The application did deploy successfully but with a warning. When i checked the warning it says that the deployment was successful but can not be started.
The log file has the following error message.

I dont understand why is SAPPORTAL/com.sapportals.htmlb is not available. As per my understanding it is some thing that should be available with the portal server by default.
Any hints from any one?
thanks in advance

Mail import Mountain Lion Build 12D65

I can't import mailboxes from system 10.6.8 on another hard drive to Mail in Mountain Lion. When I go to import and choose library in my home folder on 10.6.8, it appears to be empty. Attempting to import from this library folder crashes Mail. If I simply choose the hard drive, it crashes Mail.
My home folder on the other drive is set for read/write for everyone, as is the library folder and the hard drive itself. Bur when I try to open the library folder, I get a message that says I don't have permission.

Build 12D65 is a closed beta, and you need to address this issue on the developer forums.
