Something REALLY ***** with .mac email

It seems that every time I write a LONG, extended email on my .mac account email, and I get the "# of misspelled words" window, in checking the words I bump the wrong key and lose the email. This has happened several times over the years, and it is very annoying. It always happens with LONG emails, and I have never been able to retrieve the unsent email. I always end up going to a yahoo account and retyping the whole thing, and it always seems like the email was more inclusive and "better" the first time - the one I lost.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there something I should know about preventing this and/or fixing it before I lost the long email I have just typed? I love using this .mac email more than yahoo or hotmail, but..... it's sooooo aggravating when this happens.
Thanks for any advice and/or help and/or just to let me know that I'm not the only one to whom this has happened.

It is unclear... are you using Mail to compose this message or are you using the web interface to .Mac mail?

Mail Crashes with .Mac email.

My Mail is currently totally unusable on my main machine - it simply crashes out when I open it, when it tries to update it's cache of the .Mac inbox. Strangely, it works fine on my laptop, and Web mail is showing the contents OK too.
I have tried archiving off a lot of the inbox Mail into another folder (using the laptop), and I've tried deleting and re-adding the .Mac account on the desktop. No joy. I have removed all 3rd party Mail bundles and input managers - no difference.
I can't think of what to try next, please suggest something. At the moment it looks as if I won't be able to use .Mac email on this machine ever again !

I think I've diagnosed the problem. It was (I think) being caused by GrowlMail - a plugin installed by Growl. It seems to have started happening after the most recent Quicktime update, so that points to a possible incompatibility there....

Problems with Mac email. Friends getting failed delivery notifications.

Hi. Just logging into Apple community for the first time. I have a Mac Book Air. Contacts are saying that they have problems emailing me. I'm just using the standard Mac email. They say they are getting failed delivery messages. Is there anything I can do?

Welcome!
This is most probably a problem that should be addressed to your mail service provider. I doubt very much it is a problem with your Mac.
You could try sending yourself an email. If that "bounces" back to you as undeliverable it would be useful information to give your MSP.
Good luck.

HT5361 Problems with @mac email NOT being received by others

Recently people that I have been sending email to and they are in my address book have NOT been receiving a new email from my @mac.com account. The emails are in my Sent folder and show they have been sent. If someone sends me an email and I reply everyone sees it. But not a new email. Any thoughts on what I can do to find the problem?
I've cleaned up my email, rebuilt my inboxes. Please help!! I use my @mac for all my business!
Oh - this happens no matter where I send the email from - iphone 5 or Ipad or macbook pro.
Thank you,
K

Hi,
Part of the final question will depend on how you got to have the various email IDs
If you had an .Mac account and therefore the @mac.com email and then Linked this to @me.com in MobileMe then people can send to either and it will turn up in your mail box.
The same is true if you then linked the MobileMe @me.com to the iCloud account which moved the @me.com address to iCloud and may have latter given you the @iCloud.com.
In this case people could send to any of the three IDs and they will be received in your In box.
You should be able to login to iCloud (the web page) with any of the IDs (they all use the same password) and view the mail from there.
There should not really be any problem sending from one type of account compared to another.
I am not aware of any filtering either by Apple on older @mac.com IDs or Google not accepting them.
In the Window Menu of Mail there is the Connection Doctor which may give further clues.

Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive. how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

Email Problem with Mac

Hi, I am new to FIOS so I hope this is the proper board to post in. I set up 2 subaccounts for verizon.net email and configured them for my Mac Mail program. Everything worked well for about 2 days, and all of a sudden the Mail program keeps asking for my password (even though it was saved in my Mail settings) and says the the incoming mail server is offline. I've Googled this issue and see that others have posted about the same authentication error. Has anyone else here experienced - and solved - this problem? Thanks.

I am having the same problems with Mac eMail. I have two Macs, one that is running Lion and the other is running Snow Leopard. I have spent days on the phone with Apple and Verizon and they are blaming each other and neither have a solution. Have you been able to get a response? It looks like this is something that happens from time to time but never really gets fixed.
Please let me know if there has been a fix since the Mac Mail update in July? With the Union Issues Verizon doesn't have enough people to address the issues both in person ( I had a tech come to the house and he didn't know anything about software ) or on the phone. They keep kicking it back to Apple. I also have a couple iPhones and both are working fine. So this seems to be OS X specific. I've had Macs and iPhones for 3 years or more.
Just makes me think something was done to the mail servers they didn't get correct.

Droid and mac email - can't set up

I have a DI and also a macbook with mac email. I migrated from mobileme to iCloud, although I don't yet have Lion, just SL. I can't set up my DI to receive mac email, however I was recently receiving it on my droid until the change. I've tried all the apple support forums and tips, yet nothing works. I keep getting a message indicating it can't find the exchange server. I've put in smtp and imap. It asks for an exchange domain - no clue. I am not prompted for any port numbers. Really Frustrated.

Not sure. I'd contact your wireless service provider and have them escalate you to BlackBerry for support.

Cannot send mail with .mac

I can receive mail with .mac account, but not send mail. I can send and receive mail using another account. Has something changed with .mac?

This issue is most probably related to your Internet Service Provider.
Several Internet Service Providers are blocking the use of smtp servers (like smtp.mac.com) by their customer for secury purpose allowing only their own smtp server.
First, you should check with your ISP if he his blocking smtp servers. If he do, just use the smtp server of your ISP. That's what I need to do from my home.

TS3899 Intermittent issue with sending emails from a blueyonder.co.uk email address.

Hi can anyone help? My iphone 4 has recently developed an intermittent issue sending emails from my 'blueyonder.co.uk email account. The emails get delivered to my outbox with a message 'cannot send mail, recipient was rejected by the server' When the emails are in my outbox there is no means to delete them there the only way to remove them is to remove the full email account and reset it up again.
I have tested the send functionality with my Gmail account and this seems to work ok!
I have spoken to Virgin Media my email provider and they have walked me through removing the account and resetting it up again but to no avail. They have suggested I contact Apple as there appears to be something wrong with the email application on my phone for this particular email account.
All incoming emails are being received as normal

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

Cant get my. mac email to go online. Something to do with cetificates

I cant get my email .mac email to go online. All my settings are correct. It keeps flashing up : Mail was unable to verify the identity of the server, which has a certificate issued to "mail.mac.com. The error was: An SSL error occurred while trying to read data from the server"mail.mac.com" It's driving me crazy, e-mails are coming through fine on my iphone, and the pop accounts on the same mac.

How long ago was it working?
Do you have another Mac with 10.6.8 or higher on it so you can get an iCloud account?

My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse. It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book. At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,
Beth

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out tomorrow.

Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Email tracking with Mac Mail?

Is there an email tracking service that would seamlessly integrate with mac mail?
I have used mailchimp.com for one of my email marketing campaign, and I was wondering if a service like that could be integrated into mac mail with a plugin or something.
Thank You!

Sometimes getting an email with an attachment is a pain.
It isn't mac mail it is the email server you are connecting to.
There is a whole host of reasons why it can be slow.
Don't worry about it unless this freind sends you more attachments and you continue to have trouble then you need to contact the dns administrator of the mail server and report a complaint.

Email Reconcile not working with mac mail and tiscali.

hi, I have had problems with emails not deleteing on either email accounts. I have had the local Carphone staff look at it, who have gone through the phone and applied the fixes you have suggested on your tech pages.
Please advise as this is becoming really frustrating deleting emails twice on laptop then on the phone!
Regards
j

Hi and Welcome to the (user-to-user) Community!
Please refer to this:
KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
All reconciliation is between your BB and your email server, as governed by that KB (coupled with being configured correctly). I don't know where "mac mail and tiscali" fit into that, but that KB governs what should or should not work.
On the other hand, if the issue is another email client (on your laptop, for instance), then that's governed by whatever the capabilities are between your laptop email client and your email server. Many cannot handle full reconciliation with the server, but you would have to contact whoever provided the email client to know for sure. There is zero reconciliation directly between your BB and your other email client.
Hope that helps! Good luck and let us know!
