Rule in Mail suddenly not working

Hi!
I have used Rules for a long time to help with email and identify senders and have had no problem. Today I wanted to edit a rule and when finished I first found that all my messages had a black background so my email looked like it had been redacted. After a frustrating hour or so I got the black removed but all my color coding for emails was gone - ie the rules aren't being applied. I have read through several of the discussions here and tried one suggestion of adding to a rule (hoping this would do it) and that didn't help. I have tried the 'apply rules' several times, shut down Mail and re-opened it and I still don't have the rules being applied. Any suggestions would be greatly appreicted as I really don't know what to do, or what I did to cause this. Hoping there is some technical genius out there who sprinkle magic dust and make it right. Thanks!

Have found a workaround - I use a rule to first copy the mail to a folder then redirect to the third party. This sends the attachment as well. I'm still not clear why forwarding no longer does this - or where the setting is in new mail to change this behaviour.

Rules in Mail are not working!!

I set up rules in mail to moved messages after 7 days old from date send and will not apply! not working! if this can help I am using an AOL account. . . any suggestions on how to solve this issue. I am also running SL . . thanks.

Hey, Ray & welcome to the forums.
Don't set a 'rule' - go to Mail preferences/general/advanced and do it there √ instead.

Rules set in mail are suddenly not working?

I had my rules set in mail and now they are suddenly not working, what to do to fix?

I'm having the same problem, but not with all messages. Only a few slip through. However, when I right-click and Apply Rules to individual emails, the rule suddenly works.
What I'd like to work (and it doesn't), is to be able to select-all emails in inbox and then right-click, Apply Rules. But this never works. AND it'd be must faster than doing it individually. Thx!

Outgoing mail is not working on the Macbook Pro

Hey
I am using the mail client to read my gmail mails in my Macbook Pro. Incoming and outgoing emails were working fine and all of a sudden for the last 2 days my outgoing mails are not working and i get this error" the sender address blah blah.com was rejected by the server".
I reentered my cred in the pref pane and it still does not work. I am able to send mails fine using the browser. Incoming mails is fine is fine on the client.
Any idea what is causing this error?
Thanks

I'm not sure why this worked fine for a period of time but most, if not all ISPs use for connecting to the internet block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, you need to add your ISP's SMTP server to mail and select this SMTP server to send mail with your gmail account which is invisible to all recipients.

Filter in mail does not work

All of a sudden, filtering in Mail does not work.
If I type a word that I KNOW appears in several emals, in the Search Mailbox field in the top right corner, it comes up empty.
That happens even if I type the word "and".
I have the All button selecterd.
Is anyone else having this trouble?
Thanks.

Also, many of these emails use your friend's email address as the source email, so it will circumvent your attempts to filter by in address book.
Take a look at the Raw source of the email and see if any of your conditions are being triggered as valid.

Try these as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
2. Delete and reinstall the account
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Restore as a new iPhone

My Mac mail suddenly stopped working

My Mac mail suddenly stopped working. The last email I have is from 4:40 or so this morning and I know that I have email because I can get it via a webmail program. It stopped working on my iPhone 4 too. Any ideas? It's IMAP if that means anything. Thanks.

I'd recommend also reposting in the Snow Leopard forum because Mail is part of SL If both sending and receiving is not working then contact your ISP and see if they have any known issues. If they don' t what I've found to work is removing the account in Mail and then recreating it.

HT1338 Outgoing mail suddenly stopped working:-(

My outgoing mail suddenly stopped working - need help to reconfigure.
Thanks

I had that issue once too. I turned off my Internet sources (AirPort, ethernet connection) and then opened Mail. Mail actually opened that time. I went to my accounts, deleted them, closed Mail. I then turned on my Internet connection and reopened Mail, reimported my accounts, and everything has been fine since.
Just a note: I was using IMAP, so everything I wanted on my Mail was on the server, so by deleting my accounts nothing changed. If you're using POP(3), you may experience different issues. By turning off your Internet connections, you can at least determine if Mail is having issues connecting to a server or if the bug is something else.
Good luck - I'm sure others will have several different suggestions here.

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working. I can login to my account but as soon as I do that the screen goes completely white. I can change the volume and I have a mouse but that is it. I've tried safe starting my computer and that doesn't work.

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working past the login page. A white screen comes up that I cannot get rid of. I attempted a safe start up and that failed as well. It's a white screen where I have a mouse and when I click the volume buttons I can hear it working but nothing else just white. Please help.

Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

Rule based ATP is not working for Components

Hi All,
Our requirement is to do availability check through APO for Sales order created in ECC,so we are using gATP.
Requirement: We are creating salesorder for BOM header (Sales BOM) and avaialbility check should happen for components i.e. Product avalaibility & Rule based substitution.
Issue: Product availiabilty is working for components but rules based substituion is working, mean Rules are not getting determind for components.
Settings:
- Header doesnot exist in APO and compnents do exist in APO
- Availability check is not enabled for header item category and enabled for Item category for components
- Rules have been created for Components in APO
- Rule base ATP is activated in Check instructions
We have also tried MATP for this i.e. PPM created in APO but still didn't get the desired result.
If we create salesorder for the component material directly then Rule based ATP is happening, so for components Rule based ATP is not working.
How do we enable enable Rulesbased ATP for components, i mean is there any different way to do the same.
Thanks for help.
Regards,
Jagadeesh

Hi Jagdeesh,
If you are creating BOM in ECC and CIFing PPM of FG/Header material to APO, I think you need to CIF Header material, too, with material integration model.
Please include header material in you integration models for material, SO and ATP check as well.
For component availability check, you can use MATP; but for MATP, FG should be in APO. You need not to CIF any receipts of FG (stock, planned orders, POs etc), so that MATP will be triggered directly. Then maintaining Rules for RMs will enable to select available RMs according to the rule created.

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.
