  • Problems importing email from Snow Leopard Mail into Lion Mail

    I've recently moved from a MacBook Pro 1,1 running Snow Leopard to a new MacBook Pro running Lion.  I had the folks at the Apple Store do the set up - they migrated everything from my old to my new.
    Everything is where it should be and most everything works, except Mail. 
    I have about 90 GB (yes, I know) of stuff in the Mail folder and every time I try to import the old emails into Lion Mail the process stalls out.  And when I try to restart I have twice as many emails and I lose 10+ GB of hard drive space. I've gone from having 110GB available to 50 GB in two days and I still don't have access to my old emails.
    I've deleted the envelope files, the smart mailbox files, deleted old attachment files and other cruft still floating around the Mail folder but my last attempt at importing stalled out and quit after getting halfway through.
    Any suggestions or ideas?  Help!

    Thanks.... I actually managed to find nearly 70 GB of attachements and trashed emails which apparently Apple Mail still keeps in the Mail folder.  I'm trimming now and I'll try another import this evening. In related news, my system is working much much faster now. 

  • Scheduling Emails in Mail

    Hi there
    Does anyone have an up-to-date solution for being able to schedule emails to be sent in Mail?  the Applescripts that everyone directs to is no longer running as it is not compatible with OSX Lion or higher..
    So has anyone found a solution to this yet please?  I dowloaded an App from the Mac store called Mail o'clock and it doesn't work at all, very dissappointing, especially as it is a paid app.
    thanks in advance for anyone's help.

  • How do I stop Mountain Lion Mail from downloading emails?

    I create html newsletter emails for a church organization using a combination of Dreamweaver, Safari and Apple Mail.  Since I moved to Mountain Lion, however, I have an Apple Mail problem.
    Our organization uses an AOL email address.  Under Lion and previous OS's, I was able to create the organization's account in Apple Mail, unclick "Include when automatically checking for new messages" in Mail Preferences, click "Enable this account" in Mail Preferences, and be able to send the finished email without routinely downloading all the emails from the organization's AOL inbox.  Although I've followed this same procedure in Mountain Lion Mail, the app still insists on downloading their emails!!  Is there any other switch to shut it off?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I have several email accounts in Mail.  'Sorry, I didn't indicate this before.  Prior to Mountain Lion, I was able to set Mail to automatically download email for all accounts except the organization's. Although the "Include when automatically..." checkbox in the organization's specific account preferences seems to provide this control in ML ... it doesn't

  • Lion Mail unable to find "excerpts"/"character subsets" of email addresses (worked in 10.6)

    Hi,
    I recently started using Lion and feel that Mail search has been downgraded.  In Snow Leopard, I could search for an "excerpt"/"character subset" of an email address, but this does not work in Lion, and when I called Apple Care about this issue, they confirmed this is proper operation of Lion Mail search and didn't seem to think this was an issue of concern. 
    For example, I have an account with First Arkansas Bank & Trust.  I've received email from FABT from four different email addresses:
    First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>
    FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST <[email protected]>
    First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>
    Account Services <[email protected]>
    In Snow Leopard, I could search for "Arkansas" and limit to "From" field, and all emails from FABT would show up.  Now in Lion Mail, when I type "Arkansas" in the search field, Mail automatically searches all of my email content, so I get all my FABT emails but also emails from United Airlines talking about fares to a city in Arkansas and so on.  I am then given the option of limiting my search to "First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>" or "FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST <[email protected]>" but not "First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>" or  "Account Services <[email protected]>."  If I do a search for "from:arkansas," I get results for all but "Account Services <[email protected]>."  I can only retrieve that email address by searching for "from:aservices" or "from:first" because they appear at the beginning of the email address.  Apple Care tech support confirmed that Lion Mail cannot search for an "excerpt"/"character subset" of an email address like "arkansas" in the case of [email protected].  Is it also like this in Mountain Lion?  Is there any way to request that Apple improve its search functionality? 
    Snow Leopard Mail search had no problem searching for subset character strings.  e.g. doing a search for "rkans" (including full text search) brings up zero emails in Lion, whereas it worked perfectly fine in Snow Leopard.  I'm also not pleased with the loss of the scroll bar arrow buttons in Lion... :/
    thanks for any advice you may have

    Thanks for your reply!  To what extent does Apple listen to such feedback?
    I am sure they will read it, but it's impossible to know whether they will take action.  I would guess that having a large number of people ask for something increases the chances.
    For questions relating to how Mountain Lion behaves you should ask in its forum:

  • TS3276 Lion mail;  sent emails show up in the draft folder as well as the sent folder.  Often the draft will appear a day after the email was actually sent

    Lion mail
    Emails that have been Sent show up in the Draft folder as well as th e Sent folder.
    Often they may not show up in Draft folder until the next day.
    Is there a correction for this?

    no,  I only use mac as my incoming and outgoing server.
    What I did was un check the draft box in the mail preferences,
    and will see if that works.  Since I use only the computer for emails
    the cloud isnt being used to its max anyway.
    Thanks taking time to share

  • How do I import .eml emails, etc. from Windows Mail 2011 (online version) to Lion mail program?

    I have tried to find out how to import my stored .eml emails from my previous PC into my new Mac Mini Lion Mail program, so I will not lose them all.  I have tried going through Thunderbird, but all it keeps giving me for choices is Apple Mail and Eudora.  Then the Mail on the Mini only gives me choices that do not include the .eml files.  Please help!  I have a gazillion emails saved and don't want to lose them!  Thanks very much!

    I see you are running Leopard. So maybe ask your question in the Leopard forum area.

  • Mountain Lion Mail - Replying From Wrong Email Address

    Hello-
    In Mountain Lion Mail, when I click reply to an email, the FROM filed is the same account the email was sent to.
    If I have a rule applied to a message that delivers it to a different folder when it arrives, if I click reply, it uses my default email address, and not the email address the message was sent to.
    To be clear, if I hit reply to a message that doesn't have a rule applied, then the action works fine, and it uses the email address it was sent to.
    The problem only happens when I have an incoming email routed to a different folder in Mail, based on a set rule in preferences.
    Driviing me crazy of course. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I reported this problem to Applecare and reached a CPU Senior Technical Advisor (2nd level support), who was able to duplicate the problem.  He reported the problem to Engineering, which got back to him with the following information:
    Engineering was aware of the problem
    No decision had been made regarding when or if the bug will be fixed.
    He suggested that I also report the problem to <http://www.apple.com/feedback/>, which I have done.
    I would like to suggest that the other poster to this thread also report the problem through the feedback page (pick the Mac OS X option and select Mail on the feedback form).  The more people who report this, the sooner Apple is likely to fix it.
    Here is what I wrote in part: "The reply function does not work properly in Mac OS X Mail when I reply from any mailbox other than Inbox.  When I reply to an e-mail that is in any other mail box other than Inbox, Mail selects the default e-mail account to put into the "From" field instead of the e-mail account to which the original e-mail was sent.  This worked properly in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is broken in Mountain Lion."  I also gave the Case # of my report to Applecare.

  • Os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment

    os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment... are there people who experience the same problem? i was with Apple Support via chat and he could not resolve the problem. I was given a phone number to call, i assume it's tech support for OS X or Mail but I did not have time to be on the phone for a long time... thank you

    I finally fixed it! I verified and repaired disk permissions on my Mac... how come the Apple Tech Guy didn't know that???!!!! Shocking

  • Lion mail-group emails are hit+miss

    I feel that Apple could take a clue how to set up group emails from Outlook. Outlook is overly technical and convoluted but group emails work - Mac Mail is too simplistic and crude. Simple is good only if it works and covers all the bases - Lion group emails are hap-hazard at best. It is very frustrating to set up a group > send an email to that group > then go look at the people the email was sent to only to discover it randomly included some people in my email list that were not in that group, and did not send the email to some people that were in the group. Although crude and basic at least Snow Leapard groups worked properly. With Lion - group emails are hit and miss. I've tried every work around I could think of. Any ideas are appreciated.

  • Lion Mail preview not loading / showing emails

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, the new Mail program is not working correctly.
    It appears many of my messages (in the inbox, sent, drafts) only have the email address and header, and don't have any text in the actual email....so in the preview pane, it just says loading....and nothing loads.  I have seen others postings similar problems online.  I've tried some of the solutions, none worked.
    I can send and received new emails - and they show up fine in the preview pane.
    All the emails in mailboxes I've created On My Mac in mail are fine.
    How do I get all my emails in the inbox, drafts and sent to show up correctly?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi DreamsPower:
    I did not have any luck with the rebuild mailbox command, or other solutions posted online, so this is what I did to restore my missing mail:
    1) run time machine so I have a backup of my current Lion Mail programs data.
    2) deleted all the messages (inbox, drafts, sent, etc.) that would not show anything in preview window. Since I had sent and received a number of emails after installing Lion....and these new emails showed up fine in preview, so I did not delete them.
    3) opened up time machine backup to a date just before I did the Lion upgrade, and then restored the Mail programs data folder (users>library>mail) to my desktop.  This gives me a copy of the Mail program data files (all my emails) before the Lion System/Mail upgrade.  Then opened the appropriate mailbox subfolder folder (from the restored mail folder on my desktop), such as the inbox, and then opened the messages folder or folders in the inbox (there may be several and they may be buried in numbered folders).  The message folder(s) will have your emails (the emails will have numbers for names).  Then I just option dragged (copied) the email messages and dropped them in my Lion Mail programs inbox, and now my inbox has all my missing messages.  Did the same for the drafts and sent emails.  So now I have all my mail and they show up when previewed.  Since the messages in my other mailboxes were fine, I did not need to delete and replace them.
    Hope this makes sense.....

  • How Do I Increase The Speed Of Sending Emails Using The Mail Service on my Mac Mini Server?

    Note: This is the first time I have set up a mail server.
    I have a Ruby on Rails application where I am currently sending approx. 240 individual emails with the potential of more being sent each week as more people add themselves to our mailing list.  I am sending them invidually in order to personalize the emails and to hopefully prevent my emails being falsely identified as spam.
    The GoDaddy email address I was using in my Rails application has a daily limit of sending 250 emails each day.  With our mailing list fastly approaching 250 I decided to set up an email address on my Mac Mini Server using Mountain Lion (OS X Server).  The email address was set up to be stored locally at the advice of Apple Enterprise Support.  This email address will not be used in an email program.  It will only be used in all my Rails applications.
    My emails send properly but take almost 10 seconds an email.  When I use the same software with GoDaddy's email address the emails take about eight minutes to send.  With the email address I created it takes about 41 minutes.  The difference seems to have to do with the sacl_check being done.  Here is an example of what I see for each email in mail.log.
    Mar 14 11:06:50 hostname.domain1.com postfix/qmgr[45322]: 4B2C5603D25: removed
    Mar 14 11:06:59 hostname.domain1.com postfix/smtpd[99464]: sacl_check: mbr_user_name_to_uuid([email protected]) failed: No such file or directory
    There is 9-10 seconds that elapses when the sacl_check.  If I subtract this difference the remaining time is almost the time that the GoDaddy email takes to send the same number of emails.
    The link below is a post about the sacl_check.  I was looking at the comments by powercore from Germany at the comments where settings in /etc/postfix/main.cf are discussed.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3241121?start=0&tstart=0
    Will making these setting changes speed up the sending of the emails from my Mail Server or is there something else I can check?

  • How to change To address in Lion Mail message list pane

    I quite like the new Lion Mail app although I return to "Classic Layout" whenever I need to sort and clean up my inbox, but for general use the two-column layout with the message list on the left and the selected message content on the right works nicely for me. I would however like very much to change the "To" line in the message list. Currently my list of received messages shows "To" on the first line to the right of a picture of the "To" person. On the far right of this line is the time or date of receipt in blue. Under this first line is a little icon with "To" or "Cc" - sometimes, and that is followed by the subject. On the right of this second line is the mailbox and account. I have set preview to no lines to keep the list as compact as possible.
    What I would dearly like to change is the To address in the first line. I know who the To is - it's Me! Occasionally the To shows another name if that person precedes my name in the list of recipients. What would be VERY useful is if this data showed the From address!
    In the Classic View I can move the email columns around, adding new columns and removing them. Either way, in my inbox I can have the From address right in front of me. Is there any way of changing the To address to the Originator address - the From address - in the message list in Lion mail?
    Thanks - Lawrence

    Thanks, but that controls the header detail shown for the message in the right pane. So if I select a message in the message list on the left pane, the method you describe controls what header detail I see in the right pane when the selected message is displayed. The piece of data I really want to change is the first line of the message information contained in the message list in the left pane. It currently shows the To address in this window, which is useless to me; the From address on that first line - next to a picture from my address book of whoever is sending the message - would be infinitely more useful.

  • How to not "read" Junk Messages In Lion Mail?

    In the new setup in Lion Mail, the left column now has the subject line and first couple lines of the message.
    To create any kind of action with the message, I have to select it.  It then appears on the right and is seen as opened mail.
    For most messages, this is okay, but for junk mailing (foreign entitities wanting money etc.), I don't want to open it but I do want to delete it.
    Does anyone know how I can delete without "selecting" the message and automatically opening it or do I just have to use the alternate older view of Mail that is provided?

    I second this... Some emails I don't want to see at all. (i.e. Prince SoNSo has left me a gazillion dollars, all I have to do is reply...) Is there and edit button in the new mail as similar to the one used on portables?
