RSS in Mail no longer updates

Mail stopped retrieving RSS feeds at some point overnight. Restart of Mail and the mac make no difference.
All I can see in the logs is:
08.01.08 07.50.05 Mail[2967] Unread count went negative for mailbox ...
where on each line ... is the name of the feed.
Manually refreshing each feed does nothing and logs nothing.
Am at a loss - any hints welcome.

your feed files are located in homefolder/library/pubsub you will see two folders, a database folder and a feeds folder, the database folder contains the database file. could be that either feeds or database file are corrupted.
i would first delete all the feeds and import them again from safari.
hope this helps

I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

My podcast is no longer updating to the latest posts I have made to my rss feed. I have checked the itunes store and it hasn't updated there either. I checked my rss feed to see if I made a typo, but I haven't found any. Any ideas?

My podcast is no longer updating on iTunes when I update my rss feed.

HT1338 I just uploaded an update to Mountain Lion today mail no longer works

I just uploaded an update to Mountain Lion today mail no longer works.

After I ran theupdate yesterday I got a message that the update did not complete. When I tried to run mail I got a error message that mail could not run. When I rebooted and tried mail again I got the same error. I tried to load the last mail update from the apple store, but could not run it because it was unsigned.

After updating to Mavericks MAIL no longer issues a "whoosh" sound when sending mail. Can I get it back?

After updating to Mavericks MAIL no longer issues a "whoosh" sound when sending mail. Can I get it back?

If restarting did not resolve the issue, open Mail Preferences and make sure the box next to "Play sounds for other mail actions" is checked.

Is there a way to get out of using RSS in mail.app and go back to Safari?

Hello,
I am a big RSS user and have a pretty huge and unwieldy subscription list. When Leopard shipped, I started using mail.app to read my RSS. I went so far as to delete all of my subscriptions from Safari and rely entirely on mail.app.
As some of you may have noticed from other threads in this forum, RSS in mail.app seems to be not ready for primetime. Specifically, if I leave mail.app open for more than about an hour, the RSS feeds stop updating entirely or update sporadically. It is at this time when I will also invariably find a Database.sqlite3 file in my trash can (which prevents the trash can from being emptied, too).
If I restart mail.app, the feeds start updating again BUT INCLUDE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF OLD ITEMS. This happens every time I restart mail.app now. I have read all of the other threads that suggest that perhaps dot mac bookmark synching is to blame. This cannot be in my case since I have it all turned off and am not a dot mac member. I have no plugins installed in mail.app or safari.
I have come to the conclusion that RSS in mail.app is too buggy and unreliable to be used and I would like to go back to Safari. The trouble is that when Leopard shipped, the idea of RSS in mail.app made perfect sense to me and I got so enthusiastic and "there's no going back" that I deleted my enormous amount of RSS subscriptions in Safari. Is there anyway to export my RSS subscriptions from mail.app so that I can import them into Safari? I REALLY don't want to try and add them again one by one.

here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396
and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
best of luck.

TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually. Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here. Appreciate any help or guidance.
Regards
Justin

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

Safari and Mail no longer remember my passwords

Safari and Mail no longer remember my passwords. Worked yesterday. Recently updated to 10.5.1 and added Text Expander and PTHPasteboard. Turned them both off. Rebooted. Running 10.5.1 on Intel Pro Mac. Ran First Aid on Keychain Access and says its ok. The login Keychain is unlocked.

There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

Applescripts in RSS in mail

I want to perform an action when a given rss updates (search for a linked file on the message and if available download it) but rss feeds doesn't seem to work exactly like mail messages in mail.
I subscribed to an rss feed in leopard, asked to put that feed in my inbox whenever it updates and created a new rule for it running an applescript.
For example if I run this test script:
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages newMessages
repeat with newMessage in newMessages
say "i received a message"
tell application "Mail"
set senderName to (extract name from sender of newMessage)
set SubjectText to subject of newMessage
set MailMessage to (content of newMessage)
say "it's from" & senderName & "and it says" & SubjectText & MailMessage
end tell
end repeat
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
it will read the confirmation that it receive the message but wont say any other texts.
Is this an error with my script or is it because rss in mail is just funny?

In AppleScriptObjC, you connect your button by using *Interface Builder* outlets and actions, the same as any other Cocoa application. For example, when you define properties and handlers in your script such as:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into Xcode's Script Editor">
property aButton: missing value
to doButtonStuff_(sender)
-- do something when the button is clicked
log sender's |title|()
end doButtonStuff_
</pre>
… from *Interface Builder*, the script items will appear in the script delegate's connections, where they can be connected directly to the interface objects.
There still aren't many examples, but see:
Apple's AppleScriptObjC Release Notes
MacScripter's AppleScriptObjC in Xcode
To edit older applications, you can enable the AppleScript tab in IB's Inspector Window (see the above release notes), but to make a new application using *AppleScript Studio* you will need to use a project template from an older Xcode version, since the new version only has the ASOC templates.

After installing Leopard 10.5.3 Mail no longer works in SSL

After installing Leopard 10.5.3 Mail no longer supports SSL (Port 993) with password authentication. Setting it back to Port 143 seems to be fine. While this is not a problem at home when I am on the road it is a definite problem. Are other users finding similar problems? What are the work arounds (besides changing mail programs)?

No, all certificates are fine.
Three months on 10.5.3? Really? It seems to me that we had 10.5.2 three months ago.
Anyway, it seems that the mail problem may have been a coincidence with the release of 10.5.3 -- mail servers seem to be back up and mail, both SSL and non-SSL seem to be working as if 0730 EDT.
This then becomes more of an Apple problem of letting the community know that mail is down -- and that problems are most likely not related to the update of Leopard. This would be particularly helpful since many of us (very many, I suspect) have the auto update configuration for doing system updates turned on.

TS4083 Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

I've found out that this is by design.
Email Application offer push-notification, but read action is not populated to the Cloud.
So Mail app needed to be opened manually each time you want to refresh it status ...
That is not a good information...
As far as I remember, google had that work quite long ago properly (of course on iOS and inside Mail.app)

Apple Mail is not updating mail automatically on my Imac.

Before I updated to Maverick, Mail would update every time I woke it up by touching the mouse or any key. Now since updating, I must click on the envelope button to get my new mail. Why?
Also just recently my Magic Mouse won't scroll on the Mail page. I have to use Arrow Keys to go from one email to the next week. It works properly on all other areas.
Help!

yes it is. I just rebooted and that fixed the mouse issue. I will see what happens with mail. It updates as long as I am on the computer it is just when it comes out of sleep mode.

Mail app not updating

When I set up mail on my new MacBook, all my email accounts had mail in the inbox. I've since logged into each account on the Internet to move or delete mail and my inboxes are clean. The mail app on the MacBook still shows the moved/deleted mail as unread messages in the inbox. How do i get the app to update so that all the moved/deleted mail no longer appears in the inbox?

I'm having exactly the same problem: read/unread flagging inconsistencies via IMAP
OS: 10.6.8
mail: 4.5
ipad2
I've trawled through loads of forums looking for an answer to this and I've yet to see a solution. Our hosting people have suggesting switching to Gmail or some other mail client. Massively irritating. All our hardware is mac and IMAP is supposedly the way forward for integrated mail across multiple machines. But it's just not working properly.
help!

E-mail and calendar updating/synching to my BBZ10 has been lost.

My (new) Z10 used to receive e-mails and calendar updates easily, as expected.
Then suddenly I no longer receive them.
Any idea:

- how do I correct the situation ?
Thanks !

Remove the account and re-add it.
