Recipient Address in Mail disappears when Redirecting

When redirecting an email in Mail (v3.6), I type in the 'To' address and send but it refuses to send, comes back with the message with no recipient address in the recipient panel, and has a message saying it can't send because there's no recipient. This happens over and over. Ultimately the only solution I've found is to make a new email using the content of the mail I was wanting to redirect (which of course is perfectly adequate but a bit of hassle when the Redirect function is meant to work and I have several mails to do). This has only started happening since OSX 10.5.7 update (using Combo updater) and only seems to happen using Redirect, not Send or Forward.
Any help much appreciated, thank you.

Seems that upgrading to 10.6.2 has made this issue ALMOST disappear - very seldom happens. Strange that it happens intermittently now.

Original mail disappears when forwarding if I inadvertently attempt an edit of the original.

This problem occurs when I am creating a reply to an incoming mail. After hitting the reply button, I will sometimes inadvertantly mix up (click on) the original mail message rather than the response I'm typing. This happens when my desktop is crowded and because of the way the reply message stacks on top of the original. Anyway, If I inadvertently attempt to edit or delete any part of the ORIGINAL mail, it just disappears in a flash, without warning, as if it has been deleted. Now, I know that original mail cannot be edited but why does it disappear? My reply message remains OK but the original disappears without a trace. Where does it go? Can it be retrieved?

I figured that part out already, thanks.
What I posted was an attempt to discover why the original mail disappears, where does it go, and can it be retrieved?
It's really annoying to have the original message just disappear on those occasions when I inadvertently to click on the wrong window.

Mail disappears when transferred to folder On My Mac

I am having trouble losing pieces of mail when I transfer them to folders that I have created on my mac. Today I moved one, checked to see if it is in the new folder, and it is not in any folder at all!
Advice, anyone?

Thanks Elko,
In my special mailboxes for my mac.com account, store junk messages on server is checked, delete is set to never.
This tells me that your junk messages will be with you forever. You aren't deleting them from the server when you download them, and you aren't deleting them ever, from your computer. No reason I can think of to keep junk, on the server or on your computer, but maybe I'm not thinking right.
Also move deleted messages to Trash is checked, permanently erase deleted messages 'when quitting mail' is set.
This is good, HOWEVER if you are having a problem with mail disappearing, change this setting so that they aren't deleted when you quit, but maybe a day later in case you need to retrieve them from the trash folder.
In another account that included messages that disappeared, only move deleted messages to a different folder is checked, erase when one week old is set.
So have you looked in the trash folder of this account for the mail that is disappearing?
In the Advanced Tab, checked boxes for mac.com acct. include enable this account, and include this account when checking for new mail.
It also says keep copies offline, all msg.s and their attachments.
This tells me that you have a different version of Mail than I have. My choice that is closest to that says to remove copy from server after retrieving a message, nothing about attachments. What version of Mail do you have?
For the other account, (not mac.com), checked boxes include enable this account, and include this account when checking for new mail, and remove copy from server when retrieving a message is set at right away.
What does this tell you?
I guess I should have asked you in the beginning, HOW are you moving messages to other folders (and then not finding them there?) Are you selecting the message and then using the move to command from the drop down menu? Are you sure you are putting them in a folder on my mac?
Have you rebuilt your mailboxes lately?

Why does all the formatting in my composed e-mails disappear when I send them?

Hi! I've noticed lately that whenever I type up an e-mail with formatting (like changing the color of text, in particular), it looks fine when I'm typing it, but as soon as I send it, the formatting disappears. I bcc'd myself a few of the e-mails that I've sent recently and this is what I am finding. The formatting looks fine when I send it, but what the receiver actually gets seems to be lacking much of the formatting (especially when I change the color of text, it seems to always revert back to black in the sent message).
About a month ago, my motherboard fried so I am now using a newer system running Vista. This is a new problem for me so I'm naturally wondering if this new system has anything to do with the problems I'm having. I have looked at all the OPTIONS and ACCOUNT SETTINGS in Thunderbird and I cannot find anything that might either explain or correct this formatting problem.
Can anyone help? Thank bunches!!! Lauren ;-)

Dear wuergler,
Thank you for helping me to resolve the formatting problem I was having with Thunderbird. I checked all the settings as you suggested and your option #4 did the trick. I offer only a very slight amendment to your instructions to make them less confusing (for me, anyway---I realize that the menus may differ somewhat in different versions of Thunderbird), as follows:
2. In "Preferences/Tools > Options > Composition > General [tab] > Send Options > Text Format" should not be "Convert the message to plain text" and in the tab "Plain Text Domains" the recipient domain should of course not be listed.
3. Before sending a new message [but while still in the in the new message, not your Inbox], "Options > Delivery Format" must not be changed to "Plain Text Only".
4. "Tools > Options > Display > Formatting [tab] > Colors > 'Allow content to choose its own colors, instead of my selections above'" should be checked (default).
Thanks to christ1 as well. Glad we finally figured it out. Cheers! Lauren ;-)

Mail disappears when send clicked

About 3 days ago email I have composed began to disappear entirely when I click Send. It does not go into Sent, Draft, Outbox or any other mailbox nor does it get delivered. I just disappears. This includes Replies as well as New messages. Incoming email is received normally although I've been having some problems with Rules not being used properly but that could be totally unrelated.
There are no error messages...none. The ONLY thing I can find is a message in Console like this for a test email I just tried to send: "9/13/12 9:31:36.898 AM Mail[1443]: deleting invalid message from outbox". Clicking Inspector for the message provides nothing that I understand and cannot copy nor can I Grab it to attach. We also have an XP PC using Outlook Express, the same email provider (RoadRunner) and account that sends email without a problem.
Does anyone have any idea why this happening? Seaching the web or these Support Communities for the Console message provides no useable results.
Thanks in advance for any help.

In Mail, if you click on the Sent mailbox in the Sidebar, and then on Mailbox in the command bar, and then place the cursor on the Command to Use This Mailbox for, are the choices black or gray? What you describe would most match needing to choose the Sent as the destination of message sent from Mail. Is not required with all accounts, but can be the cause of this.

Mail disappeared when acct deleted

Hi,
Thanks in advance for your help.
I deleted an email account which is inactive and I am no longer using.
When I did this, all emails in the inbox for this account, and in all all other mailboxes associated with the inbox for this account, disappeared from the mail app, replaced by blank space, even though all these messages had already long ago been downloaded by the computer from the server.
Does anyone know where these already received incoming messages reside on the computer, and how to view them?
Thank you,
Neil

What you saw is exactly what I'd expect to happen when an email account is deleted.
If you don't see any remnant of that account in "yourhomefolder"/Library/Mail, then your only option may be to restore that content from a backup.

Address Card photo disappears when exporting in Leopard

Hi guys,
Has anyone else out there experienced this? I can't see anything on the forums.
When I export a vCard, the photo disappears. It doesn't matter which method I use (dragging the card to the desktop or exporting via the pull down menu).
Thoughts anyone?
Cheers from NZ
Scott.

You may need to go into the preferences, go to the vCard pref pane, and enable "Export photo".

Mail disappearing when pressing send

When I press send on an email on my iPhone, the email often disappears compeltely. It does not attempt to send, and is not in the Sent Items or Outbox (Outbox is not visible).
This has happened a number of times on accounts which do work, and happened again this morning when I definitely had a full 3G signal. I have my email accounts set up to use only one SMTP server (the o2 server) with all other servers set to off. How can I retrieve missing email and prevent this happening in future?

Hi Popshop. You’re welcome.
Unfourtunately, it didnt' help.
What do you mean? Sure it helped. It was meant to determine the scope of the problem, not to solve it, and now we know that the problem is system-wide, not some kind of data corruption confined to your home folder.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
If the problem persists after having fixed all filesystem issues, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Cut and Paste email addresses in Mail

I have been frustrated when copying and pasting email address in Mail.
When I copy an email address that is also in my Address Book from the "FROM" field and paste it somewhere else, the NAME of the contact always appears along with the email address in "" brackets.
Is there some kind of setting I can change to ONLY get the email address and not the contact name and those dumb little brackets?

Exchange not sending mail to the correct recipient addresses when one of the addresses is incorrect

Hi,
I am creating an email msg programatically and sending to the exchange server.
When all the recipient addresses are correct, the mail is sent successfully.
But if one of the addresses is incorrect, the server gives a "550 5.1.1 User unknown" error and theemail msg is not being sent to the correct addresses as well.
When this is tested via Outlook, the mail is sent to the correct addresses and there is an error mail from the server stating that the mail was not sent to the incorrect address, this is the expected behaviour.
What needs to be done to get the expected behaviour? There must be some alternative setting being used by outlook.

Hi,
What you describe can happen if the AntiSpam Agents has been installed
and Recipient Filter Agent is enabled on Mailbox Servers.
Recipient Filter agent
Although the Recipient Filter agent is available on Mailbox servers, you shouldn't configure it. When recipient filtering on a Mailbox server detects one invalid or blocked recipient in a message that contains other valid recipients, the message is rejected.

How to clear defunct mail address when typing in recipient name in Mail

Just to keep this simple:
I have a client that I email regularly, yesterday he changed his mail address, the old one is no longer valid and is completely out of use.
I replaced the old one with the new one in Address Book, but now when I type the person's name in the To field in Mail, the old one still comes up in a list of suggestions made by Mail. How do I clear these suggestions?

Look in the Previous Recipients list under the the Window menu.

HT2623 How to make my full name disappear when sending from my primary email address.

I would like to make my full name disappear when sending from my primary email address. so the recipient when receives my email can see only my email address, i.e. email address of the sender. In Preferences, Accounts, my full name is greyed out and I cannot change it. If I try to do Custom, it would let me change it, i.e. delete my name from Full Name box, but then when Mail is closed and reopened, it would lose the previously saved Custom setting and go back to the same. All my other aliases associated with this email account work ok and the receiver sees only the email address.
Does anyone know what is going on?

What if you remove the .mac account from the Accounts panel under mail Preference?
If that doesn't work, sign into the webmail at me.com, click the "sprocket" button and select preference, in preference go the the aliases tab see if you can remove the email address with your name. If not, go to composing tab see if there is anything you can remove from the +Identity: send email as field+. Good luck.

Hi Ravi,
I have @ in all the email IDs in my code , but i have removed it from this post.
It seems SDN has implemented some new check - where in it checks for Email IDs in the post and gives error when any email ID is encountered.
Can you now spot anything else , which could be the cause for the status as Invalid receipient?

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!
