Strange icon in Mail

Why does Mail's mark-as-junk toolbar button show an icon of a Super 8 film camera?

Oh, I see. Thank you. It's a boxing glove. Knock out spam! (Wonder if the camera impression will ever dissapear from my mind.)

What happened to the attachment icon in Mail?

I just upgraded to Lion, and I noticed that there wasn't an icon for mail attachments. I looked into preferences and no option there. I have to go into the menu to attach a file. What happened? That seems to be a pretty basic function.

You're right - it's not there, but it's such a long time since I've used it, I hadn't missed it! You can either go to File > Attach file, or do what I always do which is to open the folder containing the doc(s) you want to attach and simply drag onto the body of the email. You can also select more than one doc at once by using the Shift key (or the Apple key if they are not sequential) and attach several.

Strange behaviour in Mail

I have ongoing strange behaviour with Mail in Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro.
As well as randomly and intermitttently dropping connections to my various mail servers, I also, randomly and intermittently, fail to get to Print, or to create a new Mailbox, or to Quit. I just get a beep.
Have to quit Mail - sometimes forcibly, and restart it.
Mail will not automatically reconnect to servers after a Sleep , or moving to a differnt location.
None of this was happenning on an older MacBook, but I was running 10.7 on that machine.
Had to upgrade machine to allow upgrade to Mountain Lion. Not sure which is responsible - new MB PRo , or 10.8?!
Do I really have to re-install OSX just to reinstall Mail?
Any other pointers/hints very welcome.
Thanks

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Strange icon during shutdown...

Does anyone else have a strange icon flash on the display for a fraction of a second during shutdown? I running 10.5.1 on my 15" MBP 2.16 Core Duo and have noticed a real weird icon that only shows up occasionally during shutdown. It usually blinks on and off too fast to really see what it is, but I think it is sort of like the symbol on the command key and has a red X across it. I don't have any issues with the MBP with the exception of some files that Disk Utility is having trouble with when I repair permissions which seems to take a long time. It gets to a point where it says time remaining is less than a minute, but keeps going and going for another 3-5 minutes after displaying this:
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”

Permissions repair complete
Anyone seen this before or have any thoughts?

Thanks for the tip.
I did as you suggested and the permissions issue is fully resolved. Never had an issue using the Software Update pane, but I'll file the in my overloaded brain for another time.
I haven't seen the strange icon during shutdown again, but I did identify it as the icon for a piece of software called KeyCue. It shows keyboard shortcuts for the active application by holding down the Command key for about 2 seconds.
Thanks again!

Strange icon behavior

Since purchasing an iMac with Snow Leopard pre-installed, I've experienced a series of strange ‘icon bugs’, and the problem has persisted through to the latest 10.6.4 update.
Bug #1: Occasionally icons on the desktop will become pixelated and blocky, resembling MacOS 9 sized icons that have been over-magnified. If I restart the Mac or log out and back in again the problem will go away, at least until the next random occurrence. The problem seems to particularly affect icons for inserted CDs and DVDs, but I’ve also seen it occur with application and file icons.
Bug #2: Sometimes icons will disappear completely by becoming transparent. This has affected all kinds of file types, but particularly files that have been freshly downloaded to the desktop from Safari. I can resolve the problem by dragging the affected file into a freshly created folder and then back onto the desktop, at which point the icon reappears.
Bug #3: About 50% of the time I insert a USB thumb drive or mount a DMG disk image, the icon displayed on the desktop will be for a hard drive (i.e. the one used for the internal hard drive) and not the white icon normally used for mounted images.
These bugs only occur on the desktop. They never occur in other folders or in list view. I cannot isolate the cause to any particular task or process. Sometimes they happen immediately after a re-boot.

Create a new User go to System Preferences > Accounts > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try going to Users/yourname/Library/Preferences and move com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.desktopservices.plist to the trash. Restart and test. You may have to reset some Desktop settings.
If that didn't work, start up in Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your Desktop icons function correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.4 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Why are icons in mail tool bar not in color

Monochromatic, Orwellian Dullness everywhere, totally hate the look it's a step backwards not forwards. It's absolute b****cks to say this is being 'more inclusive' when it turns so many people OFF!
Have you done a sampling of all users, or only those users that don't like it? While I don't mind it, I don't think I even noticed it at first until someone pointed it out.
I note that if you get Info on an item the icon is still colour so this is some OS level (we know best) overaly that's turning everything bland and boring, it would be nice if Apple let the user actually chose this rather than force it upon them ... just like Microsoft I'm sad to say.
Microsoft? The '90s are over. But regardless of what decade you are living in, Apple has never been too big on end-user customization of the operating system. Apple has always discouraged the use of "themes" whereas Microsoft will allow people to do pretty much whatever they want.
The file system icons are still the same as they have always been. The new monochrome icons are clearly a design trend more than any change to the underlying operating system. If you turn off the expanded view in any file save dialog (other than in Safari), you can still see the old, glorious, multicoloured icons. If you really wanted to, I'm sure you could change the system-level images and make Finder and Mail look just like they used to.

Strange things happen: mail disappears/appears/is shown wrong

Strange things happen: mail appears in "drafts"/mail disappears after "send"/title-content doesn't match
I'm having some Problems with mails that get worse and worse
First thing I remember is, that I found mails in "Drafts" that weren't drafts, but just mails I received or mails I sent.
They were kind of aliasses of the original. Deleting them in "Drafts" deleted the original in its Mailbox too.
Re-indexing Mail (removing the envelope.index files etc.) fixes it, but it reappears very soon
Next thing:
When I send an email, it happens sometimes, that it is not send (no sending sound, no copy in the "Sent"-Folder). It just "disappears"
Re-indexing Mail fixes this: When Mail is ready with reindexing, it sends those messages (kind of funny, when I do this reindexing after some weeks... kind of...) - but it will reappear
The third thing happens more seldom:
When I klick on the emails name in the list, I get another Mail shown in the Previewbox. Doubleklicking the mail shows the wrong mail too.
Re-indexing fixes this, - but it will reappear
Well after having re-indexd my Mail library 10 times this week, I want another solution for this...
Mail Version etc:
Mail: Version 3.5 (930.3)
1 Pop account,
1 .mac account (i don't use)
Mail, after being sent, is moved to "Sent"mail never to be deleted
Mails Spam Filter is active (and working fine, by the way)
about 80 Mailboxes for old Mails I got, partially nested
More than 4000 Mails in the whole Database
Things I've already done:
Reindexing mail, as I already wrote (Quit mail, removing the files "Envelope Index" and "Envelope Index-1", and the folder starting with "Mac-", then start Mail again, that tells me to klick "ok" for reimporting the mail)
I deleted a bunch of emails with attachements, so there are just a few with attachment now.
I emptied the "Sent" folder and put those old emails in 3 Folders (each of them is containing about 500 mails now)
Thanks for your help in advance
PS: Yes, I want to keep all these old mails...

This is not a security risk - a setting change you should make.
1. Take a look in settings - i message and see what the 'recieve at' addresses are declared. If you do not want to see phone messages on the pad, clear that number out of there - and just use your e mail address.
2. Since you used to have an i phone, that device is likely still registered go to your i tunes account and de register the device.

How can I change the icons in Mail?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. I hate how the icons in Mail are REALLY BIG which causes me to have to scroll a lot to see my lists of folders. Is there a way to make them smaller?

Nevermind. I figured it out:
System Preferences > General > Sidebar Icon Size
BTW, that vivid neon blue for, most notably, radio buttons and arrows on pulldown menus, is really annoying.
I miss skeumorphism.

Strange icon in system prefernces

It's weird, but within system preferences, i have a strange icon which seems to be corrupt. the icon is the startup disc icon. it seems to have enlarged and the words "start up disc" have disappeared, because the icon has enlarged. I wondered if there is a way to reinstall the system prefs application or if there is a folder where i can replace the icon. I wanted to attach a pic to this topic but can't. but if anyone wants to help i can email the pic which a have screen captured.
Please help. It doesn't seem to effect my OS but it is a glitch and would love to sort it.
Regards, Leigh

Hi Leigh!
Get Pacifist...

then extract what you need from your Install Disk.
But 1st do these...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then boot from the HD, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.

Hmm....
It all smells like third party software conflict. Can you think of any candidates for third party stuff that interacts with mail, attachments, the file system?

How can I change colour or design to the folder icons in Mail ?

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
