Send html mail with apple mail

I used to send a html newsletter with apple mail. I opened the html file in safari pressed cmd + i and a html mail was created. On Yosemite there seems to be a bug with this feature. After pressing cmd + i it creates a mail and html website is selected in this mail, but the mail body is empty. Now I have no ideo how to send the newsletter. Apple mail was the only way to achive a correctly displayed newsletter on most common mail clients.
Does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

Seems to be a bug in Safari under Yosemite. Occurs only with HTML pages which are stored locally on the Mac and then opened with Safari.
Two options for a work around:
(1)
When Apple Mail shows a blank page, choose PDF instead of WEB PAGE in the mail header.
Thereafter, the contents will appear as a PDF attachment.
(2)
Publish the HTML page. Surf with Safari to the published page. Use the command "File : Send : Email this page".
Now it should work.

Problem to receive mail with Apple Mail client

Apple Mail cannot receive mail. Mail is sent without any problems. I thought that it may have to do with my iPhone but when it is shut down I still get this error.
The error message that I get is:
Unable to Receive Mail
The mail server denied access to the account "xxxxxxx" because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Please try again later.
The server error encountered was: Unable to lock maildrop: Mailbox is locked by POP server.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

I determined the problem had to do with other computers configured with POP (same account) locking the mailbox. Moral of the story is to just have one computer configured with POP and all the rest with IMAP.

How many Emails can you send at once with Apple Mail?

I found out that road runner will allow me to send 1000 email in a 24 hour period. The question is, can I put 950 email addresses in the bcc and send it, or is it too many e mails at once. How many or what is the max emails you can send at once? Thanks

Hi Gabriel38, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Try less than 100 at a time, (less than 50 for some ISPs).
You may get your answer here, but It's quite acceptable to start a new topic of your own, feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

After Leopard upgrade can't send mail in Apple Mail with dot mac account.

Just upgraded to Leopard and now I can't send mail through Apple Mail. Checked smtp and that's OK. How do I check what ports are open? That may be the problem. I looked at the Apple trouble shooting page and did everything there except the port check.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Lou

Fixed my own problem. I put in the SMTP address but didn't save. Once I saved it worked.

Cannot send scanned PDF via Apple Mail

Hi all,
here at work we have the strange problem that we cannot send Mails with PDFs which are scanned with our MFP Xerox Phaser 6180MFP-D and then transferred to the Mac Desktop which are the send with Apple Mail.
In the Activity Window we see that the Mail sending is stalling at 16%. Other PDFs can be sended without Problems.
Even the PDFs which we cannot send with Apple Mail can be send with Entourage 2004. The Problem exists in OSX 10.5 and OSX 10.3. Does anyone have an Idea how we can try to solve this? Is there a debugger around?
Thanks a lot in advance
Regards,
Stefan

Stefan,
Can you email me such a PDF (using Entourage apparently)? My address can be found by clicking on my name to the left, and looking in the bio line of the resulting Profile.
I will be able to test with both 10.5 and 10.4. I am suspecting this may be a timing out problem? Could be related to MTU (maximum transmission unit) with your connection, which can differ depending upon the application doing the uploading. If so there are diagnostics tests for checking -- see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2532
and
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8867.html
The latter would appear to not relate to using 10.3, but something may be untested with that.

Gmail no longer working with Apple Mail?

In the lasts 24 hours, without making changes to hardware or software, Mail has quit retrieving mail from my gmail accounts.
While I never receive any sort of warning about passwords or other issue, I simply get this:
And the "activity" window just stays that way... for hours with no result. The Connection Doctor window:
The Church Email account is an old one that is no longer active... I just haven't removed it from my list. But the "verify username and password" message is consistent... Strangely enough, down the same window - the SMTP connection works just fine. I can sent mail from all of my gmail accounts using Mail... Considering that the user name/password is the same for both sending and receiving mail.. SOMETHING is funky with Apple Mail.
Anybody have a guess what to check? This is frustrating.

Did you change any setting in Mail? Did you change your gmail account password? Did you activate 2-step verification on your gmail account?
If you haven't done anything from above, maybe problem is with your network... Did you try to turn off your router for few minutes and then turn ON again?
Did you install any 3rd party security apps on your Mac? Did you enable system firewall? Do you use any proxy servers? Do you use VPN?
There might be more questions...

Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

Hello everyone,
I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it.
They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook.
Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
I then setup the second btinternet email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
Please help
Thanks in advance
PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

Can no longer send mail through Apple Mail

Starting yesterday morning, I can no longer send mail via Apple Mail. I can receive it just fine, but when I try to send, it struggles for a minute, then leaves the message in my Outbox. When I open Mail's "Connection Doctor," it says "Could not connect to this SMTP server"; it says this for all three SMTP servers I routinely use, including smtp.mac.com.
No other computer in my house has this problem. In fact, if I switch to a different account on my Mac and use Apple Mail with these same smtp servers, it works fine.
Needless to say, this is completely mystifying to me. Does anyone have any idea what's happening, or how to correct the problem?
Thanks.

Do my eyes deceive me? Am I dreaming? Could it really be true? Looks like Apple (finally) fixed this issue! Simply update your Mac to 10.5.5. It might reboot several times. That is normal. When it finally reaches the desktop open your Mail app and try sending. It should now work for you. I couldn't be any happier, after over a year without Mail it's finally working again! This is the update that everyone's been waiting for

Help with Apple Mail

Okay, I have my Apple Mail linked to my Yahoo account, and it's been that way since April with no problems until recently.
I moved into my college dorm on Saturday, and last night I realized that I've only been getting emails on my iPhone from Yahoo. What's more is that I can not send emails from my Apple Mail. And when I sent it from the Yahoo website, it took about ten minutes for it to get to my phone, and then it finally showed up on the Yahoo website after being read on my phone.
If anyone can help me with this, I'd be extremely greatful because I appreciate the convenience of the Apple Mail. If it's any help, my Yahoo account won't even access Outlook either.
I tried deactivating it on my iPhone, but it still wasn't popping up on the Apple Mail.
Here's what the side bar looks like (pictured below), and when I click the "!," it says
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Yahoo” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out.
And if I take all accounts online, I get this
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Yahoo” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out.
So if anyone can help me fix this, it'd be a huge relief and I really appreciate it. =)

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below 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.
Quit and relaunch 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. 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. Post your results.
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 (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0

I think it's great that Apple Mail 5.0 now has IMAP functionality with Yahoo Mail but I have one query that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
If I send mail with Yahoo Mail, using Apple Mail, it creates a new sent messages folder where my messages are put after being sent. What I would like to do however, is use the Sent folder, which Yahoo uses by defaul when using the web interface.
Is there any way to get Apple Mail 5.0 to do this?
Any help/ideas/suggestions

I just did that for the "sent" folder that was showing up under the list of Yahoo folders. It seems as if all email sent from my phone were going into that folder. Once I did that, the folder popped up under the Sent with the paper airplane icon.
However, then it moved all of the ones that HAD been in the sent folder with the paper airplane (sent locally on the Mac) to a "Sent Messages (Yahoo!)" folder under "On My Mac".
I'm assuming the paper airplane section is IMAP. But now I still have sent items in 2 places:
Sent (paper airplane)>Yahoo
On My Mac>Sent Messages (Yahoo!)
How do I resolve this so that ALL Yahoo email (whether sent from my iPhone or locally on the Mac--or even the web interface) goes to the same sent folder?

Create individual messages with Apple Mail

I'd like to be able to send a message to a group of from my CONTACTS and be able to address each person by first name (from the CONTACT record.)
Something like:
Dear xxx,
Etc etc
Each recipient would get the same message but with his/her name where the XXX is in the greeting.
This is similar to a word processing program's Mail Merge feature.
Is there any way to do this with Apple Mail?
Rick

Not just with Mail unless you can write AppleScripts and Automator actions, but if you have Pages, Microsoft Office or another such solution you can do mail merge with those. Another product mentioned in other threads is this one:
http://www.falkon-ware.com/SerialMailer/
I have no experience with it myself. You'll find other options if you search MacUpdate.com for "mail merge".

What is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail?

Hi All, I am a recent convert to Mac from a PC and I am on a sharp learning curve. At present I am trying to use mail on Leapord. I have a Googlemail account which I have tried linking to Apple mail but I seem to get the same issue many others have with send e-mails. What is more, googlmail's All Mail facility is doing my nut in at the moment.
Therefore I was wondering what is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail? I only have a Mackbook and an i-pod nano so subscribing to mobile me at £58/yr just to get the @mac.com account (which I assume would be perfect) seems a little extreme for me.
Are their any other account that work correctly and don't have this All Mail option.
Thanking you in advance.
Matthew

Hi,
I have 2 issues.
1) I have mail 3.6 and when I set up the mail account via IMAP and STMP I recieve mails ok, but I can not send them. If I do I get the following window pop up.
"can not send message using smtp.googlemail.com server" it tells me my address was rejected by the server.
2) I have 2500 e-mails in my All Mails folder on googlemail. Nearly all of these I delete from my inbox years ago (my bad mailbox management). Google seems to store all my mails. I want to delete these permentaly as they also get downloaded into Apple Mail.
Hope you can help.
Matt

Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

Hiya
I'm keen to integrate my Gmail Account with Apple Mail via POP3, however having followed the instructions given by Google - it doesn't seem to work correctly?
I would appreciate if someone would kindly help me. I look forward to hearing from someone.
Many thanks,

Hi,
I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
Thx
