Scroll lag in Mail.app on  Yosemite

Hi, I found a scrolling lag (very huge lag) in yosemite's Mail.app
Only if the app is in full screen mode, the right and left content boxes (the mailboxes and the mail content vindow) is not scrolling by two finger scroll, just if I using the scrollbar on the side
If I use the app in window mode, there is no lag in the scrolling
See this video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l43flo6xh8tkcog/2014-10-25%2011.34.18.mov?dl=0
Any idea to solve it?

Strange. I can scroll vertically fine but since I upgraded to Yosemite I sometimes get messages with all the content in a single line. And I cannot scroll horizontally. The two finger side scroll is working for me on MacBook Pro trackpad but is not working for me on Magic Mouse.
I regret upgrading to Yosemite so early coz - although everything I read said it was bug free and there was no learning curve - I am finding Mail pretty much unusable since. List of my problems is here: Problems with Mail since update Yosemite

  • Mail.app 8 / Yosemite problem attaching another e-mail

    When using the option forward as attachement on Mail.app Yosemite the attachment lose the .eml or .emlx and it's not easy to open when receiving it.
    It always worked fine until OS X Mavericks, but it's not.
    Dows anyone know how to fix it?

    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Can't hide mail.app in Yosemite

    Can't HIDE the mail.app using Cmd-H or by selecting the menu item.
    Option-click another app or desktop doesn't hide mail either.
    Anybody else seeing this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Mail.app, Link on signature-icon does not open URL

    In a mail-signature I have a FaceBook-icon with a Hyperlink to a FaceBook-site.
    - This link works not in a received message, when the recipient is Mail.app on Yosemite.
    - With Mail.app on Mavericks it works well.
    Behaviour:
    - Double-Click opens the attached picture, but not the URL in the browser, as expected.
    - URL ist shown correctly on MouseOver
    ... sometimes, condition are not reproducible ....it works :-(
    To create the link I used the method as described at.  http://mac-fusion.com/clickable-social-media-icons-in-your-mail-app-signature/
    Can anybody confirm this behavior?
    Any workaround in creating the Hyperlink - or is it a bug?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Icloud email in mail.app only shows mail to alias

    My .me account is [email protected]
    In Mail.app on Yosemite, I only get mail under the iCloud account if it's addressed to an alias = [email protected] (notice the DOT between first and last name) Mail addressed to the real address shows up fine on my iDevices, but not at all on my Mac.
    This feels like I must have done something to ask for this at some point. But I can't find a setting.
    Any clues appreciated.

    You may have run into the Snow Leopard Mail 'Wizard' which has never heard of iCloud and will persist in tryihng to set up a MobileMe account. I would advise removing the account from Mail and then setting it up using the method detailed here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

  • Preview And Mail Apps Keeps Freezing Up in Yosemite

    I've posted before regarding the numerous performance issues that I have since upgrading to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro.  I have contacted Apple Support and have even gone to the Genius Bar, but any fixes are always short-lived. 
    Here's what is happening:  When I launch Preview to open something (e.g., a photo), the app freezes up. I also notice that if I go to the Apple Mail app, there is a keystroke lag when I type.   Also, the battery drains down much faster...
    Running the Disk Utility/rebooting will fix the problem for a day or so, until it rears its ugly head again...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is the EtreCheck Report:

  • Have to scroll to view text in email - GAFE Account in mail app

    We have been having an issue with users that have their Google Apps for Education account set up in the mail app on an iphone. When they receive an email, from time to time the email's text does not fit in the phones display and the user has to scroll the screen to view all the text in the body of the email message. 
    Sometimes double clicking the text in the body of the email rearranges the email so that it can be read upon opening the email without scrolling the screen. Google Apps stated this could be an issue with adding a footer to the domain. We have added a footer to our domain so that all users sending out email have the mandated district footer.  However google does not give any resolution to the issue. Instead have pointed the finger in another direction.
    The Google Apps rep stated "I understand that this issue only occur on Iphone devices. I don't have much information on how Apple products have their settings. I would recommend to get in touch with apple support for the iphone devices display. i have found this forum for Iphone devices issue with mail and such services https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone?view=discussions&tag Set=1174 "
    So hear I am.  Has anyone else had this issue and found a resolution.  I have attached a screen shot to show what I have explained above in case I was not clear.
    Thanks in advance,

    Shut down the app
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Mail app from this list.

  • Yosemite Mail App: How to hide recipient in inbox

    Hi folks,
    I upgraded to Yosemite just yesterday. Now my Mail App inbox is cluttered with unnecessary information: Additionally to the senders name, a picture an the title of that mail, each mail´s recipient and location is displayed. In the same line. So the title gets shortened in favor of the location „inbox“ which is ridiculous as I know that I am viewing the inbox´s items. In mail´s settings I can decide to even show a certain number of lines from that mail BUT I can´t seem to turn off that recipient/location thing. Did anyone figured out if it´s possible?
    Thanks & kind regards, Till

    There is no way to hide the sidebar.
    If you wish to suggest this feature be added you can suggest it to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Missing IMAP Folder in Yosemite Mail.app?

    Hi, folks —
    Stopped using Mail.app a couple years (and a couple iMacs) ago, as I was getting terrible spinning beach balls. With the release of Yosemite, I thought I'd give it a go again. I'm using a new dreamhost-hosted IMAP mail account set up a couple weeks ago.
    Initial setup had no errors. I was able to see all built-in folders "under" Inbox (Drafts, Sent, etc), as well as the two I created myself ("Action" and "Archive").
    I used the "Use this mailbox for" command to get Drafts, Junk, Trash and Sent to work right.
    At this point, I had the following at the top of the Mailboxes column:
    Inbox
       - Action
       - Archive
    I could click on all three to view messages in that folder.
    1. I selected "Archive"
    2. I chose "Use This Mailbox For" --> "Archive folder"
    3. BOTH "Action" and "Archive" subfolders disappeared, leaving just "Inbox" (with VIPs just below it )
    At this point:
    • I can find my Inbox and Archive messages by clicking the appropriate mailbox
    • I can also find items in the Action folder by searching — the item appears in the results with the note that it is in the Action folder.
    • I can confirm that the Action folder still exists, by reviewing the webmail interface for this account.
    Any idea how to get this folder back visible? I've quit and restarted Mail a few times. Was just starting to trust Mail.app again

    I've got my Archive folder visible by clicking Archive icon on one of mine inbox emails. It have appeared in side bar and shows me all of my messages now as suppose to. Maybe same thing will be with VIP, but I don't use this feature so I can't tell you

  • Mail attachment assertion failure Yosemite - Mail app bug

    Hi,
    I am facing a very annoying issue with Mail app. Since the upgrade to Yosemite, I am unable to save attachments with the "save all" button and the drag and drop is not working properly (sometime freezing the mail app for a minute). I am using Yosemite 10.10.2
    I tried every fix I have read online, such as :
    - rebuild mailboxes
    - repair permissions
    - remove 3 enveloppe index files in .../V2/MailData
    - reindex spotlight
    - run the command to repair permissions & reset home directory permissions and ACL (from this post : Mavericks Mail "Save Attachement..." doesn't work)
    - onyx automations...
    Nothing presented above fixed the problem.
    Here are the console logs related to the issue :
    20/02/2015 03:38:49,690 mdwrite[4655]: -[MDKeyRing initWithService:label:comment:] (/SourceCache/Spotlight/Spotlight-917.1/xpc-services/mdwrite/MDKeyRing.m:294) failed assertion -- Couldn't add Spotlight Metadata Privacy password to keychain! [osErr:-25295]
    20/02/2015 03:38:49,973 Mail[4088]: Metadata.framework [Error]: error Connection interrupted

    20/02/2015 03:38:49,973 Mail[4088]: [QL] Exception raised while try to get launch url for preview item: Failure in _MDItemSetPrivateAttributes: 3
    There is apparently a problem with the privacy attributes. Any idea of how to solve it?
    Thanks for your help,

  • Can the Mail App color scheme be changed in Yosemite

    Can you change the color scheme/theme in Yosemite Mail app?  If yes, how do your do this.

    The answer is "Sort of."
    You can set Mail to automatically delete *every message retrieved from Hotmail* into Mail after the specified time period, so that the copy retrieved into (Apple) Mail is _the only_ copy.
    Then, when you delete the retrieved Hotmail message from Mail, it's gone. But (depending on the timeframe you select) it was already gone from Hotmail, just by retrieving it into Mail.
    1) In Mail, Preferences, select the Hotmail account.
    2) In the Advanced tab, check 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message'
    and then the additional option *Immediately, After one day, After one week, or After one month.*
    3) Note that only messages coming into the Hotmail Inbox are retrieved and then removed. If you have set filters in Hotmail to put specified messages into Hotmail folders, they will NOT be retrieved into Mail.
    4) Messages that Hotmail puts into the Hotmail Junk folder are NOT retrieved into the Mail junk folder either.

  • Yosemite Mail.app doesn't MIME decode certain mail attachments

    My CCTV system sends short e-mails with 4 lines of text and a .JPG attachment.
    These e-mails can be read fine on Mavericks and iOS 8, but not on Yosemite:
    On Yosemite OS X 10.10 (14A389) Mail Version 8.0 (1990.1) the attachment is still MIME/base64 encoded (and therefore doesn't open as a JPG picture).
    If I save the attached non-working ".jpg" file and the copy/paste the content to something like http://tomeko.net/online_tools/base64.php?lang=en , the hex data of the correct image file is decoded. But of course, I want Mail to do that for me...
    This happens with mails when received from the IMAP server as well as with mails that were received a year ago and stored in a local folder (and of course worked fine a year ago with the Mac OS X version at that time).
    Filed as rdar://18701360
    Cheers
    mh

    Note that the line break before "boundary=——part1——" after the base64 encoded attachment ist missing, so that the problematic e-mails are technically not 100% RFC 1341 compliant.
    However, no other e-mail client I have tested has a problem with this, including the Mail app that came with Mavericks, so I would really expect that Apple should not degrade the compatibility with slightly-off e-mails from 10.9 to 10.10.
    Especially because I cannot change the source of these e-mails, an embedded system that worked there for a long time already and I'm sure there will _not_ be a firmware update because of this.

  • Yosemite - Mail.app memory leak

    I'm seeing a recurring issue with Mail.app taking up huge amounts of RAM memory.  There's evidently a serious memory leak in Yosemite Mail.  On three occasions today, I noticed my free memory below 20 MB (I have 16GB).  Activity Monitor shows the culprit to be Mail.app taking any where from 20-65GB of memory!  I've had to quit Mail and restart it, only to have the same issue surface later.  Does anyone have a way to mitigate/resolve this issue?

    I apologize this is not the Discussion that has all the solutions. It's this one:
    Yosemite OS 10.10 Mail Memory Leak
    There are 19 pages so far, I'll see if I can find my post with the suggestions. Found it, it was on page 7. Here ya go. Hope it works!

    Re: Yosemite OS 10.10 Mail Memory Leak
    in response to Doug Lerner2
    Thanks mlwebber & etresoft. I think we were able to narrow down the 4 most effective methods of temporarily resolving this issue it seems. I only had to disable the drafts to get back to normal, but others are reporting that using that in conjunction with a combination of 3 of the other methods from mlwebber are resolving their issues. Albeit this is only a temp fix until Apple updates their software & truly fixes this bug/issue, but, at least, I hope, we all can get back to business as normal for the time being.
    Doren (from etresoft’s observations):
    - Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors: UNCHECK “Store draft messages on the server”
    mlwebber:
    - Preferences/Accounts/Advanced: UNCHECK “Use IDLE command if the server supports it”
    - Preferences/General/Check for new messages: “Every 5 minutes”
    - Preferences/Junk Mail: UNCHECK “Enable junk mail filtering”
    Please post in this discussion if none of these methods help you and we'll see what we can do. We'd also love to know if these methods also resolve your issue. Thank you.
