Sent mail. Some are there. Some are not. Some have content. Some do not.

This is getting so frustrating.
I finally got Mail setup so that I am able to send and receive fine with all my accounts. So a little while ago I went to look for an email I sent to someone last month. There it is in my list of emails in my Sent folder, but when I select it, there is nothing in the message pane. Upon further investigation, all my Sent emails are empty from the point at which I re-set up my accounts after troubleshooting with a specialist at Apple.
So I thought I'd try rebuilding the Sent mailbox, since that seems to be one method of squaring things away. The good news is that now I am able to read the content of all emails in the Sent folder, even going back to 2006. The bad news is that while there were about 3000+ messages in there before the rebuild, there are now 306. I am missing a couple of weeks worth here, an couple of week's worth there, right up to the present. The big jump is from July 9 to Sept 3 of this year, then I'm missing Sept. 4 to Sept. 12.
Any idea how to solve this and recover my older emails? I did make a backup of my Mail folder before I screwed around with trying to "fix" things, but I don't want to risk messing things up even more by just dragging something in.

Mail notifications are not getting sent from a Calendar client

Mail notifications are not getting sent from a Calendar client
<p>
On the client, after creating an event and electing to send a mail notification,
the following error appears in a pop up box:
"module:mailmsg.ctp,label 190, service error"
Also, in the /users/unison/log/cws.log file on the Calendar Server, there is an
error from the corresponding time that the client receives one:
DEXOTEK ERRCODE Ox132B0 -> CWTCP_RemoteSecurityModified: RNC_SecurityModified
-> Request 0x443 for NodeId 10002,
status set to CANTSERVICE
Solution:
If this is only happening for one user, then check for the presence of a dbv.log
file in the /users/unison/log directory. If present this implies db corruption
and the /users/unison/bin/unidbfix tool should be run.
Note: For details on "unidbfix", please read the man page and also the online

Mail aliases are not anonymous.

I was very disappointed to find out that mail aliases are not anonymous. I sent email while on my iPad from an alias that was intended to be anonymous, and found that my real name appeared on it instead of the nickname that I set when creating the alias.
I'm really annoyed by this, and I'm glad that I only used the alias for talking to an online friend.

Allan,
The Bcc'ed email addresses are supposed to (in the spec) be stripped off by the destination SMTP server. There is a possibility that the destination SMTP server is misconfigured and doesn't strip off the BCC, but the SMTP specification says that they're to be stripped off.
http://www.livinginternet.com/e/ea_bcc.htm
Because of this minor loophole, some SMTP servers send an individual message for each BCC'ed address, thereby removing the BCC list from the outgoing email at the source, not expecting the destination SMTP server to do it. The spec allows for this, and almost even recommends it.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt (search for BCC)
And yes, I'm sure about this.

When I reply to an email, instead of sending it to the recipient, it sends it back to me. I've checked the sent mail folder and the reply is not there either.

When I reply to an email, instead of sending it to the recipient, it sends it back to me. I've checked the sent mail folder and the reply is not there either. Replying used to work fine, but all of my replies are sent to my inbox, instead of going to the recipient. I've made sure that the recipient's email address is in the send to box.

Cause of the issue
Gmail webmail accounts do not have separate sent items and inbox folders. The Gmail account web page contains a Sent Mail link on the left side, but this is not a separate folder from the inbox. Gmail webmail messages are grouped into conversations, resulting in all sent messages and replies from others appearing as a single email message entry in the inbox. This allows for easy reading and viewing on the Gmail web page, but, when integrated with the BlackBerry Internet Service account, results in copies of sent email messages arriving on the BlackBerry smartphone as new email messages.
Resolution
To prevent sent messages from returning to the BlackBerry smartphone each time, create a filter in the BlackBerry Internet Service account to block the sending of those messages to the BlackBerry smartphone.
To create a filter, perform the following:
Log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account. For instructions on how to log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account, see KB03781.
Click the Filters icon next to the integrated Gmail account.
Click Add a Filter to create a new filter.
Configure the filter so that email messages are not sent to the BlackBerry smartphone if the email message originates from the Gmail webmail account integration:
Type a name for the filter into the Filter Name field. For example, My sent Gmail email messages.
Set the Apply filter when field to "FROM" field.
Type the Gmail webmail address into the Contains field. For example, <user name>@gmail.com>.
Select the radio button beside Do not forward messages to device.
Click Add Filter.
Note: After creating this filter, email messages will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone if sent from the Gmail webmail account.

Images sent via email are not attachments

I upgraded to Lion and now, jpeg images sent via email are not attachments but are rather images embedded in the message. I want my attachments back!! Those I send images to are saying they can not save the files as there are no attachments. How do I fix this? Everything was fine with Snow Leopard and running a photography business has me sending images a lot. Clients used to "save" the images or "select all" because they were attachment files. Now they can only see the imbedded image that is not a file.
Also, I used to send jpeg images to my Windows 7 Phone to build my portfolio when I had Snow Leopard and now with Lion I do not have files sent to my phone but the image itself which I can't save to my phone.
HELP!

Does the Control+Click work with PC's? My clients use PC's and they cant download the embedded images. One client specifically is a webmaster for a sports club I photograph at every sporting event. At the end of each event I may have 40 + photos downsized and sent to him to post on his site so each email will have 7 - 10 images.
With Snow Leopard, the images would be attached files but also imbedded images on my end. On his end, they're attached files he could just select all and save then put on the site. Now he and other PC clients are saying he can only save one image at a time. This is a lot of work and seems a bit backwards to me.
When sending to my Windows 7 Phone, the image is not embedded but shows up as an attached file which my phone then gives me the option to "save to phone". Now it's an embedded image with no options to save to phone.
I will have a look at the Attachments Tamer but it seems crazy to have to buy an app for something that seems simple to fix on Apple's end.

Check on your server to see what maiul options are selected. If your mail account is set to "download all attachments automatically", that may be an option you want to de-select.

How to access mail if different users use same email - sent, trash, etc, are not the same in both user's thunderbird. How do I fix that?

I have different users on my computer, me, spouse, etc. We share the same email. I have thunderbird loaded correctly in one account. In the other account it only grabs the inbox messages, not the sent messages. How do I get it so both thunderbirds work in both accounts on the same computer? Right now I need to switch user to view the sent emails that are sent from the other account.

IMAP will sync messages, but if your sharing on a single computer you would probably be better off sharing the same profile. It is not as if you will both be using it at the same time. The information in this link should help with that.

Mail settings are not saved any more

Hi,
after my mailbox structure has crashed, I tried to reset Mail as explained in this answer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22302114#22302114
After restarting Mail all settings were deleted (as expected) and I set up my accounts and settings again. Then I recognized that the settings are not saved any more. I tried some times but Mail didn't save the settings.
I hope there is a chance to fix this problem.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for linked document but I find it funny and someone rude that the article assumes that EVERYONE knows the lingo used - i.e. Profile Folder is in "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\" . Where the hell is that???? Jesus, it's much easier to switch to Chrome.

But should I see a com.apple.mail.plist file ?
No, not in Yosemite.
Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Mail Rules Are Not Being Saved After Mail Is Close & Opended

I am using Mail 3.6 with 10.5.8 on a Macbook Pro. I have set up mail rules so that an email from a specific person's email address goes to two places: 1) Move to a folder on .Mac & 2) the Inbox on the Mail app. Upon first setting this up it works. BUT when closing and opening the program or waking up the computer from a sleep status the rule disappears and the Rule Preference window shows that email message is now going only to the .Mac folder & none to the Inbox!
I spent a lot of time with Tech Support via telephone and even ended up reinstalling (A&I) OS 10.5 (plus updates); this was done on the tech's theory that Mail was corrupt on the root level. HOWEVER, that was not the solution as the problem still exists with the reinstalled OS.
Can someone from Apple's tech support who has knowledge of this issue please help?
Thanks,
Bob

Since replies to questions and comments in these Discussions
is mostly from users who are registered to post & reply here,
you may find better result in a call into AppleCare support and
if there is an incident or case number involved in the issue you
have experienced with corrective actions taken so far in your
communications with Tech Support(?) by phone, be certain a
reference is made to that conversation, for proper follow-ups.
+{You could refer someone you talk to there, to your post in here.}+
There may be some other issue, perhaps relating to hardware
or something else, that may bear looking into. Have you seen
a result of the system log files and reports, such as Console
generates from the computer in action? There may be a clue
in those almost cryptic reports. Also, you have a hardware test
on bootable partition in the original system install disc; that's a
specific test version for your computer, an Apple Hardware Test.
Boot instructions are on the disc's label. Run it in a repeat-loop.
Is there any third-party software installed later on, which could
result in complications or conflicts with the Mac's Mail app?
The problem, if not software, could be hardware. Or a logic error.
If you have AppleCare coverage in effect on the computer, that
is the call to make; and keep track of your incident/case number.
Good luck & happy computing!

My voice mail messages are not appearing as they are left. Often no voicemails show up until 4 weeks after they have been left

I am having trouble with my voice mail on the iPhone. The voicemails are not appearing until 3 even 4 weeks after they are left by a caller. Last night 10 voice messages came through all at once, one left before Thanksgiving. Is this an iPhone issue or an issue with the carrier?

I'm having the same issue. It began three or four days ago. I'd notice that I'd miss a call but the person wouldn't leave a message.
Two days later, suddenly three or four new voicemails will pop up from the past couple of days. The time stamp on the messages is correct-- it will show that the caller left the vmail a day or two before.
Also, in what has to be a related problem, some of the voicemails appear to be corrupted and cannot be played.
I have a 4s and my software is up-to-date. I have made no material changes to my phone, other than automatic software updates to explain this.
It's enormously frustrating and as a job seeker, I can't afford to miss voicemails. Does anyone know if this is the phone or the carrier (AT&T)?
Any help and input will be enormously appreciated.

Smart mailbox for mails which are not in another smart mailbox

Hello!
I tried to create a smart mailbox for all the mails which doesn't appear in any other smart mailbox.
I know that I can tell my smart mailbox not to look for mails who are in the inbox or the other default-boxes of the mail program.
But how can I choose a smart Mailbox instead???

Thanks, John, but the original idea isn't mine. Someone else realized that some time ago:
Re: Smart Mail Box that contains messages not in any other smart mail box

Sent mail. Some are there. Some are not. Some have content. Some do not.
