SNOW LEOPARD MAIL - INCOMPATIBLE PULGIN

After i updated to snow leopard its saying ing the mail app (first time ive launched it since update last night)
it says:
Incompatible Plug-ins Disabled
Mail has disabled the following plug-ins:
MailUnreadMenu
Contact the makers of these plug-ins for versions that are compatible with Mail 4.1 and Message 4.1.
..i dont need this plug in and i thought i deleted it shortly after i installed it so i was wondering is someone could tell me where to find it so i can fully uninstall it.
Also i am trying to delete alot of stuff that i dont need like plug-ins and stuff that i thought was pretty neat when i first got a mac but i really dont need.
so i was wondering aslwell if someone could tell me what folders to look in for things i probably dont need.
ALSO
in
user/library/application enhancers/
there is a folder called menu master.ape
i heard APE's were bad and could give you the blue screen of death when you boot your mac up so i would like to know what this menu master.ape is and if i can delete it.
thanks.

As to the first question about Mail plugins, open Home/Library/Mail and locate the folder named Bundles. You can remove that entirely if you do not wish to retain any of them.
I can't comment on the APE with any experience, but I suspect you could merely delete that folder. If is ever recreated, we will have to look further.

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

    The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

  • Snow Leopard / Mail -- mail keeps getting redownloaded and shows as new mai

    Hi.
    Anyone had this problem? After I upgraded (?) to Snow Leopard, Mail.app now redownloads my mail from multiple IMAP and POP accounts and shows it as new.
    This happens at times I cannot predict. I don't see a pattern to when this happens. I can't predict when it will happen.
    So at seemingly random times, Mail suddenly shows that I have 400 unread e-mails. Even though these are e-mails I've already dealt with.
    Anyone see this before?
    Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Snow Leopard MAIL SMTP problem...

    Hi,
    I have a friend using Snow Leopard MAIL. And he reported to me that all of his outbound emails were (all of a sudden??) being bounced back from his ISP (Hargray.com)
    I was able to determine that the problem lies in the SMTP protocol bering issued forth by his iMac/Mail.
    Using WireShark I can see that the EHLO being sent out is similar to:
    EHLO ricks-printer-2/.001/
    By comparison what comes out of my machine is:
    EHLO [192.168.0.111]
    I have already modfied his HOSTNAME in the /etc/hostconfig file but his EHLO computer name persists!
    I have NO IDEA where its getting this 'ricks-printer-2' from nor why the SMTP process attaches the even worse junk on then of that.
    The ISP comes back with  "EHLO ricks-printer-2/.001/  Bad MIME TYPE"
    I've scoured the web for solutions and REALLY thought the fixing up his HOSTNAME would do the trick, but no joy. {It did make the COMPUTER NAME in a terminal session prompt come out correctly though....}
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    tob

    I'm having the exact same issue. I've spent hours rebuilding mailboxes, passwords, and keys. I can often go days before the mail will actually be seen in these offline boxes. Apple - we need this fixed!

  • Snow Leopard Mail - Bouncing Icon/Play Sound Rules Cancel Each Other Out

    I recently saw a movie which featured many closeups of a MacBook Pro being used; every time the actor got an e-mail message, the Mail icon bounced in the Dock AND played the New Message Sound. In the current version of Snow Leopard Mail, you can create a Rule to 'Bounce Icon in Dock' when a new message is received. Unfortunately, this disables the New Message Sound. When the user adds another Rule to 'Play Sound', this rule disables the 'Bounce Icon in Dock' feature. At this point, both Rules display as being active, but only one of them works. Anyone know how to get both the New Message Sound AND the bouncing icon? (The actor was able to do it in the movie, but maybe that was just special effects.)

    Look at that:

    You can use both rules together (sound & bouncing)
    I had test it!

  • Snow Leopard Mail - Bouncing Icon Rule Works Strangely

    With most applications, when the icon bounces, the bouncing is stopped once the function it was notifying you about has been taken care of. This is not the case with Snow Leopard Mail. When a Rule has been created to 'Bounce Icon in Dock', the icon keeps bouncing, even after the message it was notifying you about has been selected and read. The user must then go back to the icon and click it to stop it from bouncing. It would be much more convenient and intuitive if the icon stopped bouncing after the messages have been read. Does anyone no of a way to configure Mail to do this?

  • Snow Leopard Mail - Sorts by Subject

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail always wants to sort my messages by "Subject." In Leopard it sorted by "Date Sent." I can go through and updated all my Smart Mailboxes, inboxes, folders, etc., to sort by "Subject;" however, if I quite Mail and start it back up, Mail returns all the inboxes, folders, etc., to sort by "Subject."
    This is a real pain. Others elsewhere in the forum have reported this problem (but I didn't see a separate thread on this topic). Any solution is appreciated.

    Well, after some trial and error, decided to try something simple. Created a new account on my mac. Logged in and launched mail. Configured my gmail account and created a simple smartmailbox "Unread". It was working even after closing and reopening mail, so this is clearly a problem with my local preferences.
    I deleted all that and went back to my original account. And proceeded to perform some tests. Moving and changing preferences here and there. Despite doing all that, I have been unable to fix Mail. I then proceeded to test something (*and having a backup*) of my ~Library/Mail folder (which is, by the way, quite big) I closed Mail. Then I deleted (made a backup too!) my ~Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    After a Mail's relaunch, it will actually behave as a "new mail install", your accounts will be gone (tho not all your stuff is gone, since your Library/Mail folder is "intact").
    I just wanted to test, so I went ahead and recreated my Gmail acount. My Smartfolders were there (those are stored in ~Library/Mail/SmartMailboxes.plist, a file I hadn't touched), but this time, magically, the sorting worked.
    This has been the short version of the story. The truth is I've performed several tests and even edited my plists manually (and tried different stuff).
    In the end, I decided to keep this "new preference" (yes, a pain to reconfigure stuff back) and recreate mailboxes and/or missing settings (but not my rules, signatures, etc.) You have to check that everything is as it was (and it won't, there will be some things that you need to reassign) but most of your stuff will be "ok".
    I carry my Mail settings back from Panther, so i assume that somewhere in between Tiger and Leopard (the later's mail was awful during Leopard's first versions) something got corrupted. In fact under Snow Leopard preferences are now "binary" and not a "simple xml" anymore, tho it seems that SL should be able to convert it (provided the plist is ok, which in my case was not).
    AFter spending a few hours with this, I can say that, Snow Leopard's mail works faster and does what it's supposed to do. (New mail's sound and all that stuff that was working weird).
    In conclusion: You'll probably want to give this "wipe it all" a try. Let's just hope that whatever comes in the future from Apple, doesn't break Mail preferences (as it has been doing since Panther).
    As usual, *remember to always have a backup of everything you touch*.
    Hope this helps.
    Good luck.

  • Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
    Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
    It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.

    It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
    My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
    I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
    I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others.

  • Can I downgrade mail from Lion Mail(v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail(v.4)?

    I just bought a new MacBook (13.3" running Lion OS 10.7.1). I -really- don't like the new format of mail and have problems with searching and other organization methods I worked out. I would like to downgrade from Lion Mail (v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail (v.4). I understand that some people have downgraded the whole operating system and saw those instructions in the discussion forums, but I would like to -only- downgrade mail. Any ideas?
    Also, any recommendations on reducing my load times and delays in mail? I have over 100,000 emails over the past 4 years that are bogging down the system. I have tried archiving some older messages, but the system freezes and then downloads all the attachments from my oldest messages, filling up the entire hard disk. Thanks in advance!

    There is a long thread about this -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/15733107#15733107 -- and the bottom line is that it is possible to install and run SL on a 2011 mini (with some rather wonky hacking...) BUT it doesn't work very well.  Performance benchmarks of the same machine in SL and Lion show the SL as definitely slower.
    Plus people are having problems with certain features on the machine not working.
    I think that your performance issues sound like something else is wrong...  The 2GB is a definite problem -- do you know that you can buy 8GB for the machine for $60, and getting it installed is a snap?  But the first thing that I would do is to install applejack and boot into single-user mode and run disk repair (aka fsck.)  Another question -- if you look on your console, do you see a voracious cpu-eating process called mds?  It's the indexer for Spotlight, and there is nothing to be done about it than to just wait it out, and your machine will work much better when it is done.  And Spotlight is not just a SL problem -- if you install SL it's going to want to index your disk, too...

  • Saving attachments on Snow leopard mail loses file extension when saving over an existing document

    Saving attachments on Snow leopard mail loses the file extension when clicking on an existing file to copy the name. Is there something I can switch on in the preferences to fix this?

    I work for a publishing company where our clients send their copy to us in Word documents. We might have several versions sent to us before the final version comes in.
    It is instances like this where we want to overwrite a document on the server with the most up-to-date version (which is usually named differently to the original file). We really don't want to clutter the folder with lots of different revisions. The quick way to do this is to click on the document we are replacing (this copies the document name). Previous versions of OSX Mail used to keep the file extension but Snow Leopard seems to remove it.
    It's annoying as there is no particular logic to this. We just have to manually type ".doc" at the end of the document.
    Incidentally, this happens with any attachment file type.

  • Snow Leopard Mail 4.4, Exchange Server, and Public Folders

    I'm still confused about Apple's claim for the advantages of the Snow Leopard Mail program being of such significance to Corporate usage when it does not appear to support access to Public Folders when using an Exchange 2007 (or 2010) profile. Within a Corporate environment, Public Folders are one of the benefits for using Exchange.
    Am I missing something?

    JL,
    What you are missing is the exchange! You can check your e-mail in an Exchange account, but you just can't "exchange" anything with others. I can't for the life of me figure out why such a fundamental feature was left out. While Apple is certainly capable of ignoring a feature like this, Microsoft itself has said that the days of public folders are numbered. I think that since Exchange has become more of a standard rather than proprietary, Microsoft prefers to cripple it in favor of something (Sharepoint) that will be proprietary. Why have something simple, that works, when you can complicate it with something new!
    The best I can tell, there is no support for public folders in mail.app for Snow Leopard. However, I can't really find a post that firmly states that. There seems to have been support for public folders in the past (pre-Snow) through IMAP. I'm not really sure how that worked, but I've already upgraded, so it's too late for me.
    I'd be happy to hear a firm explanation of this from someone from Apple (or otherwise connected).
    Good Luck, Jack

  • Snow Leopard: Mail doesn't remember passwords no on login keychain

    I keep my mail passwords in a separate keychain.
    Prior to 10.6, I would only have to unlock the keychain and grant Mail access to the passwords.
    Now, with Snow Leopard, I'm bugged to enter my keychain password every hour or so. It's completely busted.
    I've tried deleted the passwords and re-entering them. Also tried moving the passwords onto anothey keychain.
    Can anyone suggest a workaround?

    I'm have exactly the same problem. both my accounts are hotmail and even if i fill in passwords both in the pop up box and in pref -accounts it bounces!
    I shall await with interest on a reply from apple!

  • Snow Leopard, Mail and iCloud - attacked by a Lion

    I just received the following email from Apple:
    You can now retain your me.com or mac.com address and keep your email
    working after MobileMe ends, even if you don’t meet iCloud requirements.
    I thought the "Even if you don't meet iCloud requirements" might mean Snow Leopard would be OK, but NO according to a chat with an Apple representative. I'm confused and frustrated.
    I have many accounts coming into my Mac Mail - from hotmail, gmail, web email addresses, etc.  I use Mac Mail 4.5 as a hub for my home business that I'm trying to get going.  Months of work, and been a happy Mobile Me member for years.  I'm now familiar with the software I use to work my business, but much would be lost if I move to Lion.  Quite honestly, what Lion can offer, I'm not that interested in. I'd just got comfortable and forked out enough money on software etc, then a LION comes along! I want all my mail accounts still to work - ie RECEIVE AND SEND EMAIL from all my accounts
    So what to do? (more hours of work caused by Apple's semi-enforced upgrade to Lion? - Am I a lone voice here?)
    Thanks for any assistance

    The image you uploaded isn't working, but I'm assuming what has happened is your MobileMe account has moved to iCloud - Apple is doing this for you because they are killing MobileMe and replacing it with iCloud - and your OS (Snow Leopard) doesn't have an iCloud setting in Mail.
    But it does work.
    This website has a step by step walkthrough with pictures. Very easy.
    If that doesn't work, try this. The only downside to this, I believe, is that since they are setting it up as a POP account, your read/unread won't be synced. So if you read an email on your iPhone, your Mac won't know it's read. If that's not an issue for you, then go for it.
    I hope everything works out for you. I know sometimes these changes can be frustrating, but they're usually for the best in the long run. It's just the transition that can be tough.

  • Snow Leopard Mail

    I have a mobileme account connection doctor gives me the green. I can't send any mail from the Mail App. It shows 1 in outbox as soon as I click outbox it vanishes. No sent mail or any received in Inbox. Works fine with my Iphone and the web. It was working fine prior to upgrading.
    Anyone else having issues with Mail on Snow Leopard?

    Snow Leopard is not supposed to be in anyone's hands in the general public until tomorrow.
    If you bought it through an Apple authorized seller, and got it early, wait at least till late tomorrow for others to test it. Inform the place you bought it at that they are sending it earlier than they should.
    If you got it from the developer program, purchase the official release and erase your system before asking any questions on this board. There may be bugs in what you got.
