"Select Conversation" in Yosemite's Mail.app

Having just upgraded to Yosemite, I'm finding that Shift-Command-K no longer selects all e-mails in a conversation in Yosemite, as it did in Mavericks (it now does absolutely nothing). 
Is there a new command in Yosemite?

Yeah, I really relied on this to move groups of messages to particular folders, I've no idea how to make that happen now. Surely I don't have to move them all one by one?
If I go to View > Organize by Conversation all messages in a particular conversation will collapse under one which, if I select and move, will move the whole conversation to another folder. However, that's pretty inconvenient for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that there isn't a keyboard shortcut, and I don't want conversations to automatically group that way, I want them chronologically in my inbox and not grouped into conversations.
What's really odd is that under View > Select there's "All Messages in this Conversation Shift-Cmd-K" but it's grayed out. Why grayed out? Why is this not functional? It's there, but...?

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and Mail app crashes with Verizon email account

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and now my Mail app will not start. It errors on my Verizon email account. When going to System preferences it will not allow access to the account set up process, it crashes as well.

  • Hotmail account not working on Yosemite's Mail app

    I've tried everything I've found on the internet so far trying to get my hotmail account to work the way it was before my update to Yosemite, with no success. A few days ago it stopped syncing messages properly, and now it just shows them as downloading but it never finishes the syncing.
    I even left it working overnight with the mail app open, nothing else, prevented from going to sleep mode or shutting down, and it kind of worked, downloading some of the messages that were pending, but others just won't do it no matter what. I've tried Deleting the Account, restarting and Adding it again, also tried changing the imap server information to different options I've found, no difference.
    I also tried Outlook for Mac with all my accounts, and the hotmail account seemed to work better which means the problem is between Mac Mail and the Hotmail account itself. The problem is I don't want to use Outlook for Mac because showed other problems with my Gmail accounts, which renders it unsuitable to handle all my mail accounts. Apple Mail was flawless until my update to Yosemite, not cool.
    Does anybody have the same issue?
    Thanks!

    Same here.  I, too, have tried everything, including removing and re-adding the Hotmail account and SMTP servers, rebooting, you name it.  Some folders seem to sync sometimes, but some do not ever.  The main inbox does not sync at all.  In addition, the problem seems to be strictly with Apple Mail on my iMac and MacBook Pro.  The issue does not occur on my iPhone 6 or iPad Mini.  I was very pleased with Apple Mail until now.

  • Workaround to No "Select All" Functionality in Phone Mail App?

    Has anyone come up with a workaround to the lack of a "select all" option in the iPhone Mail app? Right now, if you are presented with a long list of unread messages, your options are to either read each and every one of them individually, or delete them individually. I was wondering if anyone had come up with either a workaround, or solution provider, in this area. Yes, I have submitted the suggestion to Apple to include this functionality in the future. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Yes, which takes seconds. Or after reading a message you want to delete, delete it then with a delete selection - trash can icon at the bottom of the message.
    With a significant number of habitual whiners here, I can see the number increase if Apple includes a select and delete all option for any other mailbox except for an account's Trash mailbox that is available now which some would inevitably do unintentionally by accident and then complain - how could Apple do this - I lost all my Inbox messages that I didn't want deleted.

  • How to set 'Expand All Conversations' as default in Mail.app

    Can anyone suggest a way that 'Expand All Conversations' can be set as the default layout. I realize how it can be implemented from the menubar command or via the message's triangle icon, but each time I close Mail, the app reverts to the closed layout. I would prefer to retain the expanded layout at all times (in the same way the user can tick off 'Organize All Conversations' and retain it across restarts).

    You can create a custom keyboard shortcut to expand all conversations easily.
    - Go to System Prefs
    - Select the Keyboard icon
    - Select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab
    - Click Application Shortcuts
    - Click +
    - Select Mail from the Applications drop down
    - Enter exact Menu item " Expand All Conversations" without quotes of course
    - then choose a shortcut you prefer
         - Suggest testing out the shortcut you prefer on Mail to make sure it is not currently used
    - Click Add
    - When you get back to your Apple Mail, you can now use the shortcut everytime you want to expand all conversations...
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other solution so far...

  • 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?

    @Ábrahám Péter
    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 keeps crashing after Yosemite update

    I just bought a new MB Pro a couple of months ago. Hardly any apps installed.
    After the upgrade to Yosemite the mail app keeps crashing when I launch it. I have read a lot of other topics but I can't find a solution.
    Anybody out there who can help me? Or should I just wait on an update for this?
    Regards
    Rob

    Did a clean install of Yosemite after issues with constant crashes on a mid-2010 MacBook Pro. Then tried Migration Assistant which hung up forever (12 hours) at 7 minutes to go. Forced quit and rebooted. I tried this after the initial reinstall transferring files from the worthless non-function software rouse called "Time Machine" which should be renamed "Waste of Time Machine". So I have spent endless hours on various Apple support forums on Time Machine, Migration Assistant, and Apple Mail forums, with dozens of users with similar or the very same issues. The most striking thing in all these forums is that there are no "this solved my problem" posts, and any response from any Apple support person or employee is 100% absent. I have used nothing but Macs since 1987. In the last few weeks I've spent more time trying to solve Mac computer OS issues than using my Macs. The Tim Cook era is starting to mirror the Ken Scully era when Apple was the company you loved to hate. Lovely hardware designs -- crappy worthless software. No mail, no 8000 image iPhoto library (despite two levels of backups) - no way to recovery that I can discover. Spaceship buildings, silly watches (which I predict will go the way of the of the Newton), daft Siri, and complete lack of focus on software that actually functions with the pretty hardware. I love my iPad and iPhone, but I see Windows and Android in my future, after 27 years of blind, and in retrospect, misplaced Apple loyalty. The Apple Titanic has an iceberg dead ahead of it that it is too blind to see.

  • Mail.app - Gmail - IMAP - alias send from

    I recently upgraded my OS and switched from POP to IMAP. Now I am no longer able to send an email through Mail.app for a imap gmail account FROM an alias.
    [email protected] IMAP
    me@domain - forwards to [email protected]
    I want to be able to send from me@domain
    I used to be able to do this with POP on a previous OS, now I don't know if it is the OS or mail protocol change that is preventing this, but all my emails show up as me@gmail even when I select a custom 'from' in mail.app
    Thanks!

    As jeremyScout replied, I don't think it's a matter of settings on gmail. I already send emails using an alias on gmail but on my ipad 4th gen I can't send them using the alias and I didn't found a solution yet.

  • Items or messages shared from within apps by email don't get sent but sit in the Mail app outbox until sent manually.

    Many apps, including the Photos app, allow many options for sharing or social networking. When I select to send by the Mail app the message never gets sent as I would expect, but remains in the Mail Outbox until I remember to drill down to the Outbox and send it manually.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Is this normal?
    Is there a 'Setting' that causes this?
    Why doesn't the message just go?
    Hope you can help.

    I've been having similar issues with my iPhone 5 and the latest iOS version.  I read somewhere else about an issue with having Exchange and Imap in use with Mail being an issue.  I had both, but had my Exchange connection to Gmail off.  I was still having the issue.
    The solution that worked was to delete my Exchange Gmail account.  Now, emails are being sent immediately.  If you have Exchange and Imap Gmail accounts on your iPhone, pick one and delete the other.  Good luck.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Mail app damaged after Yosemite upgrade

    I upgraded to Yosemite and among other problems, my mail app does not work. When I open the application it prompts me to begin the message import process. I click 'continue' and the message import begins. The process progresses until it reaches the migration of data, at which point it stops and an error message appears.
    >>"The upgrade failed. An error occurred during the upgrade. Click Continue to launch the Mail Import Assistant, which will help you build a new library and import your existing messages." >>
    However, when I click continue another error message appears. >>"Your Mail index has been damaged. To repair, quit Mail. Mail will repair the index the next time you open Mail. Your mailboxes and messages will be preserved.">>
    When I reopen Mail, this entire process is repeated and I get no where.
    I've tried chatting with apple support and it was not helpful. I created an admin account under safe mode and mail opened fine, prompting me to set up a mailbox.  I have cleared my Caches. I repaired HD in recovery mode, disk repair and repair permissions.  Nothing as worked and my mac is running insanely slow.
    Someone please help me!

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Yosemite is recreating plist and other files deleted in Mail.app

    First, excuse my poor English.
    This happens several times: files I used to delete (like the previous recipients list in mail.app or the signaturas in Mail) are recreated automatically...
    That's strange, even if I trash the files, and reboot, the miles are full of information and recreated again and this is a problem for me since I want to delete them to recréate brand new ones with good information. Whah's happening in Yosemite ? Where this information is stored ? I wonder....
    Here is one precise exemples in mail.app:
    - I want to trash the signatures files in mail.app.
    Usually i went to my user/Library/Mail/V2/Maildata and delete the whole folder Signatures.
    Now I trash the folder but when I reopen Mail all my signatures are recreated....
    I wonder where it comes from....
    I need to delete this folder because i have a problem switching signature...

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Important: This action will delete any signatures and custom Mail stationery that you created. If you want to preserve that data, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
