Strange sending & closing window anomaly in Mail
Hi all,
Still enjoying learning my way around Lion and loving it so far.
The problem: I frequently send interesting links to contacts using the ⌘+⇧+I shortcut from Safari. Today, for the first time since intalling Lion , I used the same shortcut, entered the recipient and (I thought) clicked the 'Send' icon and went to do something else. Came back, saw the composing window was still there, and (wrongly) assumed that I hadn't sent it. Confusion...
I clicked 'Send' again, window still there. I checked 'Sent' folder, 2 emails to the same person.
Long story short I then tested sending normal emails to another of my own addresses, no problem. Window closes as it should. So far, it is only emails sent using that cmd-shift-I (letter eye) shortcut that results in the un-closed composing window.
Any suggestions? Anyone fancy trying to duplicate it?
Have fun.
Adrian
The "2 new messages and correct number after clicking" thing is a known issue (it nearly exists since Tiger was launched), which is hopefully fixed in Leopard. Actually there is no resolution to this.

Hi
Can you please HELP??
I recently had to change my hard drive for my laptop (Sony Vaio). The IT guy replaced my HDD and ghost all my information
from old to new drive. Everything works perfect except for Windows Live Mail.
When I open WLM I get this error:
“Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing
Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)”
I have since done the following:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 1:
1. Close Windows Live Mail and any other Windows Live programs.
2. Click Start (then Run for
Windows XP), paste the following path below and press Enter:
%Localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars
3. Rename the folder of the account you use to sign in to Windows Live Mail to
sync your calendar (ex. rename [email protected] to [email protected]).
4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
5. Launch Windows Live Mail again.
THIS DID NOT WORK SO I DID THE FOLLOWING:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 2:
I removed WLM (uninstall) and reinstalled and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 3:
I also renamed the WLM folder and reinstalled WLM, then deleted the new WLM folder and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 4:
I also tried to import my emails from WLM to Microsoft Outlook but I only have a copy of my mails from the directory.
I do not have an EXPORT copy saved anywhere. Is there any way I can export the WLM to Microsoft outlook?
PLEASE HELP I AM AT WITS END.I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

Send message windows doesn't close after sending attached PDF from Acrobat
I have several forms that I have created in Acrobat 9 Pro. These forms have a button set to submit to an email address. After filling out the form, and clicking on the submit button some, but not all, of users with Outlook 2007 are having a problem with the send message window not closing after sending the email.
When they click the button the email is created with the form as an attachment. When they click the send button in the send message window the message goes into the outbox, and then gets sent no problems. But the send message window never closes after sending the message. So my users think the message never got sent.
The computers that I am seeing this on all run XP, have Outlook 2007, and use Acrobat Standard 8. On some computers it works just fine, and on others it has the problem. It must be a setting somewhere but I can not figure it out.
Closing the window by clicking on the "X" is no problem, but many of my users are pretty new to computers know very little about them. So something like this causes them a lot of problems.
Any suggestions?
TrudyMy apologies, when I said "instance" I meant window.
I also just realized the new window and then closing behavior only happens when the iTunes link clicked is in an email in Mail (presumably, this would also happen in other desktop email clients). When an iTunes link in Safari is clicked, the "iTunes loading" white page appears for a moment and then Safari navigates back to the page with the link. However, that isn't working properly, either. The white page continues to "load" indefinitely and never returns to the previous page.

Sync of send messages from iCloud to Mail blocks
Hi all,
Since Apple had some problems with their iCloud service on June 18th, I experience very annoying problems with Mail.
When trying to sync mail with my iCloud account the "Send mail" box does sync everything properly, but the strange thing that happens every time is that the sync process as shown in the activity windows stucks. The progress bar remains halfway, the CPU usage of mail goes up to 200% and the fan goes crazy. I then can only "Force quit" the Mail program.
When looking at the "Send" box all send mail is shown, but only the headers, not part of the content.
When clicking on a message the contents shows up properly in the separate mail windows.
(sorry fot the Dutch text :-)
So everything syncs properly but it looks like a specific process hangs.
I've tried several things:
Disabling Mail in iCloud system preferences
Deleting my iCloud account in Mail
Rebuilding all in- and out mailboxes
Rebuilding only the "send mailbox"
Restoring the complete Mail directory in the Library with a (Time Machine) backup from an earlier date
Deleting info.plist in the Mail directory
Creating another user on my Mac and initialize my iCloud account in Mail again for that user
Nothing helps.
So now every time I start Mail the normal steps are processed (as seen in the activity windows) but after a while it all ends up again as shown in the first image. (the progress bar pops up immediately halfway).
And I can only for a very short time check my mail, send messages before the CPU usage goes up again and the fan accelerates to a very high speed.
The only thing I can do then is "Force quit" the mail program.
Any idea what causes this?
Thanks for the help!
GertThere are ways to get Thunderbird to use the correct Sent, Trash, Drafts folders for iCloud mail. You'll need to google how to do that. Not super straightforward, but it works. Note that unless you correctly map these folders, the mail you send using Thunderbird will not appear in Sent items on other computers, I don't believe. It will remain local to the machine that sent it.
Anyway, there are a few other things you could try to fix Mail. I was about to do this myself, but my problem seems to have gone away.
Open System Preferences and create a new user account with Admin priveledges (i.e. call it Test or something). Close System Preferences
While still in your account, go to ~/Library and copy your entire Mail folder to /Users/Shared (make a copy; don't move it).
Log out of your account and log into the new account you just created.
Browse to the Mail folder in Shared and copy it to ~/Library on the Test account. If you have never launched Mail before on that account, I don't think there will be a Mail folder in that location already
From this point, since you are working from a COPY, you can start experiementing. Start Mail and see if it works normally (if it does, then there is probably something wrong in your Prefs in your account). Try deleting some of the mail folders and starting Mail again to see if one of them was causing a problem, etc.
I don't have any specific tips related to step 5 -- I was just planning on experiementing to see what was causing Mail to hang. And since this is a COPY of your mail, it should be completely risk-free.
Good luck and let me know if you make any progress. -
Speak Sender Name Only AppleScript in Mail No Longer Working In Mountain Lion
Hi all, the title pretty much says it all.
I have a very simple AppleScript that I use as a rule in Apple Mail everytime new email comes in.
This AppleScript will speak only the sender's name. That's all I want it to say.
I there are two emails, it will say, "Mail From John Smith" followed closely by "Mail From Johnny Appletree", etc.
This works great in Lion as a Mail rule.
I have properly placed this AppleScript in the correct path for Mail scripts.
It's located in:
(user name)/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail
I've popped in the sample script provided by Apple into this same path that speaks the total number of selected emails, the name and the subject, etc. That works fine, so I'm positive the path is correct. But that script says a bunch of items I don't need. I just need a simple script and I'm guessing somehow the conversion from Lion to Mountain Lion doesn't work for some reason with this script.
Anyone know how to modify this supposedly simple script to make it work in Mountain Lion?
Any help is most appreciated, thanks!
Here is the script I had been using in Lion as a Mail rule without any issues before Mountain Lion:
on perform_mail_action(info)
-- see if iTunes is playing
set itunes_playing to false
tell application "System Events"
if (get name of every process) does not contain "iTunes" then
set itunes_playing to false

Can I set Firefox as my windows 7 default mail client?
I've already set Firefox's mailto/send etc email program to Gmail, but I want to also set the Windows 7 default mail client to use FireFox (which knows to use gmail). For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach" I get an error: "Either there is no default e-mail client, or the current client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client" What is the equivalent way to run FireFox and set it as the default Windows 7 client? I want my OS default e-mail to open Firefox and then use the e-mail settings already setup in FireFox.
== For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach"No you cannot because Firefox is not a email client. [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] has a built in email client that you can use

How to send a file via e-mail with director
Is it even possible to have a button in a free-standing
projector that would send a file via e-mail, or open up an e-mail
program and have the file attached and addressed? Or is it possible
to put a file on a server? Of course, both of these methods would
alert the user and ask for their permission.To just open the user's email program, you can use the
standard lingo:
goToNetPage(mailto:[email protected])
That approach is kind of annoying because it actually opens
an empty
browser window then the user's email program. I don't think
you can use
that approach to send attachments though.
A much better way is the fabulous DirectEmail xtra from
DirectXtras.
Check out their site:
http://www.directxtras.com/demail_home.asp?UUID=1217348
DirectEmail can do everything you are asking for (and more).
It is
cross-platform, shockwave safe, can handle text or HTML
email, can do
attachments, can use a mail server or not, and is really easy
to use.
The same company makes DirectFTP which you can get from:
http://www.directxtras.com/DFTP_home.asp?UUID=1217348
DirectFTP can put files onto an FTP site with a minimum of
fuss. I have
used both on quite a few occasions and they rock. You can
actually
write a full-fledged email or ftp program with those xtras
and Director. -
When i take picture with my iPgone and send it in an e-mail, the picture isrotated 90 degrees when I open it in Outlook. If i hold the camera sidewise, the same thing happens. What causes this?
Because Windows and Outlook are ignoring the orientation information stored in the metadata for the photo.

Unable to send web content emails from mail as web page since upgrading to the new OS X 10.9
I am no longer able to send web content emails from mail as web page. The images / layout no longer transmit. This started when I upgraded to the new OS X 10.9. The emails appear correctly in the orginal message prior to sending but once they are sent all the images and layout are removed. The sent message folder shows the emails in the changed versions vs what the draft showed prior to sending. If the webpage is only an image my final sent message will only show an empty box with an question mark.
Hold down the option key and select
▹ System Information...
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, select
Hardware ▹ USB
from the list on the left. On the right you should now see a list of all connected USB devices, as well as some built-in components. Is the device shown? -
Generate and send Excel format file by mail in bakground.
Hi fellows, i have a requirement, which is to generate an excel file in background and send it attached by e-mail. This file have many characteristics like Freeze pane, Auto filters, and some other format characteristics, One of the ways for achieving this kind of characteristics is using OLE or Desktop Office Integration, but both run in foreground. Other way i found is formatting the excel using XML and then at the moment of sending it by mail, changing extension for xls, but the problem is that it occupies too much space, i imagine cause it is raw xml, for example for a file for 1,000 records and 14 columns generates a file of 1.6Mb which is not like generating the same file using OLE or DOI (24Kb).
I would like to know if there is a way to use an excel component or another way that takes less space for generating the file with format and also send it by e-mail in background??
Thanks.
Noe.is 1.6 MB the smallest size you can generate, did you remove every optional tag?
XLSX format is a compressed XML format valid since office 2007. Maybe you can try to generate it? (I don't exactly know which ZIP algorithm it requires, SAP can compress using the ZLIB Compression Library)
You may also attach a Windows server to SAP via RFC. You should create an RFC server. You may have a look at this [sdn article - Communication to Presentation Server in Background Mode|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/9831750a-0801-0010-1d9e-f8c64efb2bd2] for some clues about running an RFC server. I guess you could use a VB script on the server.
For sending emails, this is a separate question, you may have a look at wiki: sending mails - home page. -
TS3276 I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail. What could be wrong ?
I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail. What could be wrong ?
SMTP is the protocol used to send mail, where IMAP and POP are the protocols used to receive mail. ISPs can have different servers for these protocols.
In this case, the specified receiving (IMAP or POP) server, or the receiving user and password credentials, are likely incorrect.
What does the Connection Doctor diagnostic tool report?
Mail.app's Window menu > Connection Doctor
To check or change the settings, select Mail.app's Mail menu > Preferences... > Accounts and select the account you need to edit in the left column.
The receiving information will be displayed for the selected Account, with either POP or IMAP shown. Confirm with the ISP that your POP or IMAP mail settings are correct per the ISP's recommendations, as well. And in general, IMAP is preferable to POP, if you have the option of using either of those with your ISP. -
TS4002 Cannot send/receive iCloud email with Mail
About a week ago I stopped being able to send/recieve icloud email via mail on my iMac. Everything is correct in my settings except the incoming server information. Mail defaults to p03-imap.mail.me.com, and will not let me select or edit this option. I know all my other settings work correctly because I can access iCloud email via my iPhone, iPad and a Windows 7 laptop running Thunderbird. However my iMac is my primary computer and I would like to get this issue corrected. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am trying to determine the reason that the Mail program has stopped working with iCloud. All of my settings are correct, and have been verified as working with another application (Thunderbird), and work on hand held devices (iPhone and iPad), but will not work within Mail. The only thing I could find that didn't match the referenced online materials was the p03- portion of the IMAP server address. If you have any suggestions, I'm happy to listen to them.

Whenever I send a email from iPad mail app with an attachment from pages or numbers, the receiver is getting only attachment in the email. They are getting the email content. How to troubleshoot this issue.
Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line. Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it. It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

Send PDF form to e-mail as attachment with a PHP script on the server
Hi,
For several days I've been searching though the internet looking for a solution, a quite simple one in my opinion, but I got a little desperate not getting any result I want.
Okay. The Situation.
I have a PDF form to order sandwiches and drinks.
The PDF has serveral area's and columns where customers fill in the amount of the products they would like to order.
At a position of a field, the kitchen can almost blindly see what products a customer ordered.
Therefore, when someone fills in the form, I want to send the filled PDF by e-mail to the kitchen's e-mail adress. And important: the PDF in the kitchen's mailbox should be completely identical to the form the customer filled in.
So, I have an Order button in my form. I set the action as 'Submit a form'.
In the settings under 'Enter a URL for this link' I used just some PHP mailer script I also use on my website contact form.
IF I check 'HTML' under 'Export Format' the PHP mailer works fine. I receive an HTML e-mail listed the ordered products.
BUT
I do want the original filled PDF in my mailbox instead of an HTML e-mail.
So, for 'Export Format' I checked 'PDF The Complete Document'.
But then my PHP mailer script doesn't work anymore.
It gives errors like 'no valid e-mail adres' , etcetera etcetera.
Who has a solution?
Who has a working standard PHP script for me what just sends the kitchen an empty mail with the original PDF as attachment?!
There is no need to use any database or other more complex functionality. Just mail the filled PDF.You can submit whole PDF format as long as you enable usage rights on the PDF.
Normally Adobe Reader users can only submit the data, XFDF, FDF, XDP, XML.
To enable usage rights on the PDF you will need to use Adobe Acrobat Std/Pro.
As for the PHP Script; it depends on your PHP web server capabilities.
The script will be slightly different, if the server uses PHP Mail or PHP PEAR.
Just attach the submission to an email and send.
If the client is submitting the form from a standalone pdf reader app, you can also respond with a success or failure FDF \status message; otherwise, you can redirect to a success / failure URL.
