Sound for outgoing mail sometimes happening and sometimes not

Hello,
I noticed already some time ago that Apple Mail seems to make the usual sound for outgoing mail only sometimes and sometimes not. It is more not happening than happening. I cannot recognize any pattern in this behavior.
Any idea what is going on here and how to fix it - or is this a normal behavior for Mail?
Thanks.

Thanks--I found it interesting! Especially when Spell Check quit working for me, too.
Very weird.
I went back and selected 'Correct Spelling Automatically' in Text Edit-- that works, but I don't like it either. Whoops, only intermittently. I just looked again and that's not working now. Wow, no restart of computer and I hadn't closed Text Edit-yet it stopped working.
Spell checking seems to be behaving badly. It will not underline in mail--until I change a misspelled word....and then only sometimes. At the best it's intermittent.
I hope someone found it interesting enough to fix w/the next system update...

  • A Mail keyboard shortcut I set sometimes works and sometimes doesn't - why?

    Using the keyboard shortcut panel I changed the keyboard shortcut for "Send" to CMD+E.
    After quitting and restarting Mail I can see in the menus that this is showing CMD+E now.
    Problem is - when composing a message sometimes CMD+E works and the mail gets sent and sometimes I just get a beep and nothing happens.
    Why would that be?

    My point is that the behavior that motivated your post is not necessarily a bug itself. The bug is somewhere else. The reason sometimes it works as you expect and sometimes it doesn't could very well be that sometimes the other command is enabled (thus causing it to be chosen) and sometimes it isn't (thus causing Send to be chosen).
    Actually, I've just tried it, out of curiosity, and the Edit > Find > Use Selection for Find is indeed sometimes enabled and sometimes disabled when a new message is created depending on where the cursor is located, so I maintain that what you call second bug is probably not a bug at all. Rather it's expected behavior resulting from a conflict that you've introduced.
    The bug is somewhere else, namely whatever it is that prevents the Keyboard Shortcuts preference pane to realize that there is a conflict and whatever it is that causes the shortcut to disappear from the other command when its menu is displayed. But that's not what is causing the behavior that motivated your question. That behavior is the expected behavior when two commands have the same keyboard shortcut and the one that gets the first chance at handling the command is sometimes enabled and sometimes disabled.
    Does it sound like I have it right?
    Almost.

  • I bought Macbook Air early 2014. Ever since i bought it to turn it on after a long ie. 5hr - 6hr i have to first charge it for at least 15 mins and sometimes it wont turn on for 3hr - 4hr and then it will turn on regardless of the battery charged.

    I bought Macbook Air early 2014. Ever since i bought it to turn it on after a long ie. 5hr - 6hr i have to first charge it for at least 15 mins and sometimes it wont turn on for 3hr - 4hr and then it will turn on regardless of the battery charged. If i had put it on sleep even then it wont turn on it will work as usual as it is suppose to do. I went to icare twice and they game me the device back after 1-2 weeks saying it is now not giving any issue but when i will used it next morning again same thing happened. It's like i can never go out anywhere with the laptop outside as i have to first charge it and then turn it on. Icare wont replace my device they only say if there is any issue with the hardware we will replace that hardware but i think it is useless because they don't know what the issue is. Can someone help me out what to do now ? It's been to iCare ever since i bought it now i don't want them to again do the same thing.

    How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

    You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big.  Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

    Not necessarily an iPhone but rather if they have iMessage support at the address you're using.
    If you're using an email address they could have an iOS device or a Mac.

  • Upgraded to IOS 7 and phone sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't

    Upgraded to IOS 7 and phone sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't.  What's going on?  I've missed several calls but my phones been sitting right in front of me (Yes, the sound switch is turned on on the side)
    What's going on?  Its Random!

    Your phone might be on do not disturb mood... So, when it's locked, you receive no calls. If you see a crescent at the top of your screen, go to setting, do not disturb, and turn off the manual
    Hope that help

  • 2 step verification settings for outgoing MAIL SMTP for GMail

    and i am in the outgoing SMTP > ADVANCED section of mail where i have an iCloud, GMail and domain based email SMTP addresses.
    does anyone know if i set up a SMTP server for Mac Mail as having an authentication set to "none" or set to "password" for GMAIL and whether this password should be one of these online generated 2 step verification passwords?
    i seem to have this account on sparrow with no problems at all but i am noticing that GMail mail is not showing up on either of my mac mail installations on either of my machines

    Hi Hotwheels
    had similar issues. But incoming worked fine immediately, only outgoing was an issue.
    (Though on iPad + iPhone both in- and out-going mails worked fine.)
    I generated a password via Google only ONCE for may Mail app. And I entered it only ONCE in the settings. No other changes done.
    So on the Mail application, I saw e-mails coming in. My outgoing e-mail stayed in my "outbox".
    I just switched to another outgoing server. In my case, when I opened the advanced settings, a popup screen showed up with a number (approx 10) outgoing servers, all named exactly the same: "Gmail" ;-)
    The one that was selected had the message "off-line" behind it and so were a couple of others.
    As soon as I picked one that was apparently on-line, the mails in my outbox were send within seconds ...
    So problem solved without actually really changing settings or entering paswords.
    Hope this helps

  • I need to change my password for outgoing mail server but it won't let me

    I Need to change my password for outgoing mail server on iPad 2 but it won't let me change it. I can't send out mail

    I assume that you mean that the setting is grayed out and that is what "it won't let me" means. Have you tried selecting another SMTP server of you have another one available in the settings?

  • One of my servers is showing 'offline' for outgoing mail. how do I get it online again?

    one of my servers is shoing as 'offline' for outgoing mail. How do I get it online again?

    Thanks for this but still not working. I have changed my server password and input it but it only shows OK for a second or so and the 'offline' comes up again...aaaagh
    I am not very PC literate so any other options would need to be in basic English too.

  • Ligthroom sometimes starts and sometimes not...

    I have a mac with 10.5.8, ligthroom sometimes starts and sometimes not, "the program is not responding" and do not get to start. I'd like to resolve this error, which apparently does not have a defined behavior pattern. Thank you.

    "Program not responding" does not always mean that it is not opening or not doing what it's upposed to do. It can also mean that the program is - at the moment - so busy that it has no resources left to respond.
    Have you waited for a while to see if Lr becomes "running" again?
    I'd suggest to optimize your catalog (>File menu >Optimize catalog), unless you do a catalog backup regularly (optimizing is part of the backup).

  • Transcoding - sometimes slow, sometimes fast and sometimes not at all?

    This is odd...Sometimes Encore CS5.5 will transcode fast, sometimes slow and sometimes it would't transcode at all. (No errors. Seems like the program stop and go to sleep) And this is on the same project without any changes. I just tried to restart my PC, restart Encore several times, and everytime It wil behave differently. Why?
