Rules in Mail 6.0 quit working

I have created several rules in Apple Mail. Under previous editions of Mail, these rules worked flawlessly. Now, using Mail 6.0 and OS X 10.8.1, whenever I quit Mail, the rules reset and no longer work. Ideas?

Why do rules in mail preferences no longer work

I just converted to Mavericks. Now the rules for mail messages don't work. I've clicked them off and on again but no change. What else to I need to do to make the rules work?

Duplicate your copy of iTunes 10.x before upgrading to iTunes 11 (or restore it from a backup) and use iTunes 10.x to listen to (and in particular access the links in) podcasts. Further, file a bug with Apple that these links don't work when the album art is displayed in the album art mini-player.

Mail spell check quit working

Spell checking in Mail on my iMac has recently quit working. All the settings are enabled the same as they always have been to check the spelling as I type, including that setting in Mail Preferences. I am using the most current OS and Mail version 4.3.
No matter what word I type misspelled, even the most obvious misspellings, it WILL underline it in red but when you click on it, it says No Guesses Found. Meanwhile, spell checking works just as it should on my MacBook.
Any ideas anyone?

Yes, that seemed to work. Thank you!
Sorry--in my first post, I said "I have it set to check mail as I type. " and I meant "check spelling as I type."
Thanks again.

Syncing rules in Mail (OSX) don't work...

I can't sync rules with iCloud. When I activate Documents and Data in iCloud, the rules configured in Mail are deleted. If I create a new rule, when re-start Mail, the rule dissapear.
If turn off Documents and Data, all work perfect. I have a backup of SyncedRules.plist (Library->Mail->V2->MailData) to restore.
I had tried a lot of "fixes", but nothing work.
I have another issues with Documents and Data betwen iOS and Mac. Syncing of data with apps like Tweetbot, IAwriter, iWork... don't work. I'm sure something in my iCloud account is wrong, but I don't know how fix it.
Are there anyone from Apple that can help me?.
Thanks.
Regards.

Not as part of my immediate issue, but (as I did explain above) 1) this thread deals with rules/sigs vanishing, and 2) that seems to happen a lot, to people who sync AND people who don't, 3) it seems that this problem is sometimes attributed to iCloud syncing when that is not the problem and 4) I was hoping there might be some related Mail issue (besides just iCloud) that *might* help explain things. I aslo said I thought it was a long shot, but....any port in a storm. No offense intended, but it seems that my long shot didn't turn up any useful info.
That said, since i DO have a heckuva lot of rules set up, and having them reside eslewhere might be useful. Is there a way to move rules already in existence to iCloud? If I make changes locally, will they get picked up by iCloud or overwriten? If not, then iCloud won't help me at present.....

I have a old imac OSX.4.11. Lately my .mac mail account quit working and rejecting my password, even a reset password

I have an old imac with the swivel flat screen-OSX4.11. My .mac mail account has quit working--it rejects my password--even a reset password. Connection Dr. says to "make sure username and password are correct", over and over. Help!

Hello,
Did you change it over to iCloud yet? It does work in 10.4.11
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac/.me mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 993
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 587
    •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

You should continue to dry it in rice for a week and change the rice daily.
All you can do is dry the iPod. Turning on the iPod before it is dry can can cause permanent damage.

Why did my email auto fill quit working with Yahoo mail?

This week my e-mail address auto-fill quit working with AT&T Yahoo, but still works when using the Safari browser on my Mac. Actually found 22 posts dating back to a year ago for people having the same problem, so guess this is ongoing and happening randomly. Is there a fix, or do I have to abandon Firefox and go back to using Safari?

I have this question too. My iphone 5 is new from t-mobile, and I restored it from my own backup on my factory-new laptop. I am curious who this person is, and whether my "new" iphone may actually be refurbushed?

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.

When I add a rule to mail preferences, they don't work at all

When I add a rule to mail preferences, they don't work at all

One thing to remember is that mail rules are only executed on incoming email. To run a rule against existing email, Mail > Message > Apply rule.

Elements 11 Organizer quits working during Photo Mail

I had Elements 6 and all worked well. Then had 8 and and now 11 and when I start Photo Mail it gets to the email sending and says that Organizer has quit working. Now what

Hi,
Are you running on a Windows system?
If so, try this.
Use the windows explorer to navigate to one of the following files according to your system.
64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Right click on that file and select Run as Administrator then try your email again.
You should only have to do this once.
Good luck
Brian

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Mail quit working.

I use AOL for email but send and receive through Apple Mail. One day mail stopped sending and receiving; however, mail works for the second user on the computer. The connection doctor tells me that I am properly connected when I am loggin to the computer but there is no communication. What might the problem be?

This week my Mail quit working...wouldn't open.
Did you get an error message? Did the icon on the Dock just bounce then quit without doing anything, or did you get a rainbow cursor and have to force quit, or something else? Details!
I downloaded and installed the application via Apple...no difference.
You can't download Mail from Apple. Where specifically did you download it from? Or if you reinstalled from your Mac OS X disk, give us details on how you installed it and from what disks.
I tried downloading the app again to my HD and got the message "You cannot install Mail Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
This sounds like you were trying to download an update that was not appropriate for the version of Mail that was installed. Where were you downloading the update from? Find Mail in the Finder, select it and choose Get Info... what version of Mail is it?

Problem with rules in mail.app

I've just started having a problem with my rules in mail.app that I just don't understand. I have several rules that I've had working for quite a while now, over a year. All of a sudden beginning about a month ago, some of them -- different ones at different times -- stop working and the incoming mail goes into my main mail box and don't get distributed according to the rules to the appropriate mail boxes.
When I check the rules, all of which are basically the same: If any of the following conditions are met, From contains XXX, Perform the following actions: Move message to mailbox xxx, I see that mailbox XXX has changed from what it should be to some other mailbox name which is a valid name but not the one that I originally put in the rule.
To make it a bit more strange, the rule with the wrong mailbox name is not executed and the mail winds up in my main mailbox.
When I edit the rule and change the mailbox name and am asked whether I want to apply the rule and I respond yes, the rule executed and the mail that landed in the main mailbox gets distributed the way it should.
But then anywhere from a day to a week later the same thing happens, that is, the mailbox name in the rule somehow gets changed again.
Has anyone seen this behavior before and/or have any suggestions for fixing it?

Are you really on 10.8.1 as per your profile - maybe updating to 10.8.3 might help.
Have you tried rebuilding the mailbox? It sometimes helps sort out Mail problems:
