Splitting the message list and Mail view - vertically

Returning from the dark side of PC land. Getting used to Mac Mail. How can I organise the view such that my inbox list of mail is on the LHS of the screen and the selected mail displayed on the RHS. when viewed on the widescreen this seems the obvious configuration....
Don't make me hanker for Outlook.

Unfortunately, since Lion, this is not possible in the weay you desire. I have tried, and searched the forums to no avail. I'm sure many have called in and submitted feedback about this issue, but 3 Lion updates later, and the new Mountain Lion OS, have not changed this behavior in Apple Mail.
If you change the font and/or font size, you will not see any change in the new Lion layout. Within the message you are viewing, changing the size of the message font, only makes changes to the "To/From" portion of the header, and not the message itself. Please understand this is if you have Apple Mail set to be viewed in the default Lion layout. If you open Preferences>Viewing, and check "Use classic layout", then you can see all changes to it. Still, it will affect both viewing and composing. There does not seem to be a way to isolate them.

How to change the order of the columns in the Message List in Mail?

In Mail, in the Message List, is it possible to rearrange the column order of Subject, From, Date, Attachments, etc?
The upgrade to Snow Leopard changed the order of the above and I want to keep the old order that I had with Leopard.
Also, there is a column which has a black circle in it. What does it mean? I don't mean the smaller black circle, because that shows which emails been read and which are not yet read.
Thank you.
Lorna

To arrange columns, click on column title (To or From) and drag right or left.
The black dot column shows the type of message. There will be a counterclockwise arrow if the email is a response to a previous email or there will be an icon of a note if the message is a note

Mail message list and preview pane no longer in sync?

I'm having a strange problem with Mail. When I select certain messages in the message list, a completely different message is shown in the preview pane. It seems to be a problem with specific message, perhaps they all arrived with in a few days of each other. It's predictable in that the same message always has the same heading information in the message list and causes the same message to show in the preview pane, it's just not the right message (the one that corresponds to the selected message header in the list). I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone how difficult that makes it to find anything. It happens with the effected messages regardless what mailbox or smart folder they are in.
I'm thinking I need to tell Mail to recreate some kind of header cache or something but I don't know where/how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

have you tried to rebuild the offending mailboxes? select a specific mailbox, then go to the mail menu, mailbox>rebuild
hope this helps

Is there a way to move the message pane from the bottom of the messages list to the right of it?

The question should be self explanatory. Windows Mail allows the folder pane, the message listing and the message pane to be listing in 3 columns side by side. In Thunderbird the message pane is available only beneathe the message listing. Am I missing something?

I had hit "vertical" earlier before I requested support, and nothing happened. It worked just fine after trying subsequent to your suggestion! Not sure what happened, but thank you for your help.

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

When I open my mail account I keep getting the message "Checking for Mail". I deleted the yahoo account and set it up again and I am still getting the same issue plus I am not seeing any of my mail or folders. Can anyone help?

When I open my mail account I keep getting the message "Checking for Mail". I deleted the yahoo account and set it up again and I am still getting the same issue plus I am not seeing any of my mail or folders. Can anyone help?

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

If I delete a message using delete key, AND the "Find in this message" box is open, should the focus switch to the search box, or remain in the message list?

If the "Find in this message" search box has been left open, but I have selected a message in the message pane, if I use the delete key to delete the current message, the focus moves to the "Find" box. It took me a while to figure out why the focus did not remain in the message list so I could delete the next message. I can regain the desired behavior by closing the search box, but it would be nice to not need to. This is on a Windows 7 OS. I should check to see how it behaves on a Linux box.

Hi,
for the Points
Sometime I think I would like it if I could delete an iMessage completely.
Other times when reading them on my iPhone I wish to leave them until I can answer them with something that is on my Mac.
It seems that as a device or a Mac that is off line can "catch up" on iMessages sent within a few hours would suggest that the iMessages are held on the server for a period.
It would be handy for different levels of "deletion".

Bug: The message list doesn't refresh SOLVED caused by HWA (hardware assist)

I am using the latest Thunderbird from the beta channel, v38. I was seeing this in the stable release channel as well, so I thought I'd try the beta channel to see if it was fixed there, but it was not.
The issue is that the message list doesn't refresh all the time when switching folders. If I an in my Inbox folder, for example, and then select my Junk folder, the message list will not update/refresh, until I drag my mouse over the message list. Then, it will refresh line-by-line as the mouse enters each line.
I am on Windows 7 64-bit, with an i5 processor and 8 GB RAM. Nothing else on my system is running slow. This will happen when Thunderbird is the only app running. I also have a skin applied to my UI. I've tried a few different skins, and this behavior happens with all of them.
A second issue I noticed this morning was that when I received a new email, the entire app seemed to freeze momentarily while the notification for this new email was spawned. As soon as the notification became visible, the app because responsive again. Perhaps a threading issue here.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the quick reply.
"The last issue is probably your anti virus diving in an scanning the new mail as it is added to a very large mail file. Right click the folder and select properties. What is the size on disk?"
Folder properties on my Inbox folder says:
Number of messages: 1038
Size on disk: 90.9 MB
"With regard to your first problem, I am seeing that on the daily built as well, on an intermitent basis, but not on change of folder, only on dragging the mouse over the existing list."
Yes, it is intermittent for me as well. I just recalled that the last time I saw it was when I changed folders. It may not be limited to that situation.

- If the Gmail accounts are IMAP one then if the library is erased and then you use the account old email will be redownload
- Easing the library on the MacBook does not effect what is on the iMac. On the other hand if you deleted the messages in the Mail app on the MacBook then they will deleted from all devices.

IMAP message list and search missing messages

I access an IMAP server from my MacBook and iPad. When I look in folders on the server other than the inbox, the MacBook shows all the messages but the iPad is missing many. When I compare the two, the iPad has all, one-for-one, for the past four days or so. Before that, the list on the iPad is spotty. I have touched the update and download more messages buttons.
Searching on the iPad also misses messages, but different ones. I can search on the iPad for messages I see on the Mac, and sometimes find them, although they don't show up in the message list (for example, the message from about five days ago, immediately before the last message which shows up consistently on both the Mac and iPad). In other cases, I can do a search on the Mac and iPad, and the Mac will show more hits from the search than the iPad.
So, mail on the iPad, at least with an IMAP server, is unreliable. Is this well-known? Will this improve on iOS 4.2?
Thanks for your help,
==Leonard

I did an experiment with the IMAP server I have which stores the mail in mbox format in the home directory of the Linux server I have a login to. I can drag messages in any order I want from the inbox to a folder, and can verify that in the mbox file, they are stored in the order I dragged them in. Yes, those messages are shown in the iPad message list in chronological order, regardless of the order I dragged them into the folder.
But, earlier messages are not shown in the iPad message list in the order they are in the mbox file or chronological order. Well, they are in chronological order, but with big time gaps. For example, the iPad shows a message from April 6 followed by April 1. But, I can see on my Mac that I have many messages between April 1 and 6. They do not appear on the iPad.
Ah, I think I see something. Some of the messages in this mailbox are log files with timestamps at the beginning of the line. The iPad mail program appears to be taking the time from the first line in the body of the message rather than the timestamp in the mail message envelope.
No, it just got stranger. I selected another mailbox, and then went back to the mailbox with the log files I was looking at before and the order of messages has changed! Now there are messages from May where there were messages from April. Still might be the timestamps in the body of the message because those are the first messages shown in the list after the last non-log-file messages.
Now there are messages missing between April 30 and May 4, where I can see that the messages exist by looking in the Mac mail program. I can see that all the missing messages on the iPad are the ones for which the body starts with a timestamp.
Perhaps the iPad has trouble with an IMAP server using mbox format.
Another complication in my case is that the messages in the mbox file are not stored in the order they were received. I suspect this is because I copied them there, using Apple Mail, from previously being stored on my Mac. That is, I had all my mail On My Mac, and then selected all the messages in the folder and dragged them to the IMAP server folder. That put them into the mbox file in an unusual order. But, on the Mac, they show chronologically, regardless of the order stored in the file.
The iPad also does this, for recent messages (which don't contain those log files with timestamps), but the timestamps in the body of the message may be confusing it.
