Stumbled upon the Magnification feature in Mail App

Just an FYI, I was working with the mail app and needed to go back and change a few words and noticed that there are no direction keys to help with that task. Anyway, just by accident I was tapping to bring the cursor to the correct position and "accidentally" pushed and held my finger on the screen and low and behold a little magnification window pops up so that you can drag and precisely place the cursor exactly where you want it. I was actually wondering how Apple missed putting direction keys to move the cursor about but it seems they thought of that with this. Very cool.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I did a search and didn't find anything, if mentioned in another post somewhere by all means delete this post.

I'll have to try it in other places, since I've never really used it for anything but listening to music so there really wasn't much need for me to type until mail and maps showed up.

Export feature in Mail.app literally does nothing?

I used to use the export feature in Mail.app fairly frequently to back up my GMail and some other email to a local disk.
Now the export feature seems to do almost literally nothing.
No matter what account, folder, sub-folder, or "mailbox" I choose, when I export it, I end up with 3 files: Info.plist and table_of_contents, both of which are trivially small (maybe 30 to 200 bytes) and an mbox file, which should contain my emails, but it's zero bytes.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Does the new version of Mail.app for Leopard have this DELAY feature?

Can you delay sending an email until XXXX date and XXXX time, like you can in Eudora?
I know mail.app currently has some scripts that allow for this functionality, but I'd really like to see it built right into mail.app. Can the new version of mail.app for Leopard do this?
Thanks.

Not to my knowledge.

I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL, how can I recreate / restore it ?

Hi,
Well, the title says it all : I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL,
it still is spresent in my ~/library/mail folder, how can I recreate / restore it in mail.app ?
Since I have a fair number of email accounts, intelligent mailboxes, rules and archive folder, I really don't want to rebuild everything. And, no, I can't use time machine to restore it.
All help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi AdamKB, sorry for late follow-up.
What I lost is the "container" that groups all junk mailboxes in one place in Mail, like is done for all the inboxes.
The problem is that I lost visibility on all junk mailboxes. It is only a visibility problem because the junk mailboxes are still present locally for my POP accounts and remotely for may IMAP accounts, I justdon't see them anymore in Mail's interface.

Why is the search on my mail app not working?

I just bought the new iPod touch 5th generation. I synced it with my iTunes, transferring all the apps I had on my old 3rd generation iPod touch. Everything works fine, except the search on my mail app. When I type in some keyword to search, and click the "all" label, it won't actually search all my email content, only the subjects and senders. Any way to fix this?

No. From the Users Guide it only searchs mail for:
Mail—To, From, and Subject fields of all accounts (the text of messages isn’t searched)

Exchange 2010 Activesync with the Windows 8.1 mail app limited to 10 MB attachments?

We have a few executives that want to use the mail app on their 8.1 tablets to access our Exchange 2010 SP3 Ru7 servers via Activesync. They get connected and can sync mail, but when they
try to download attachments that are larger than 10 MB, they get an error (Sorry I don't have the exact wording) the error doesn't say anything about attachment size limit, but it works if the attachment is 9.5 MB and they get the error as soon
as the attachment is greater than 10 MB.<o:p></o:p>
I tested the app with the same attachments greater than 10 MB with an Outlook.com account and it works ok on the Windows 8.1 tablet.<o:p></o:p>
I also tested using an IPad against the Exchange servers and I can download attachments greater than 10 MB just fine.<o:p></o:p>
So it looks like only the combination of Exchange (2010 in my case) and the Windows 8.1 mail app has the limitation?
<o:p></o:p>

ActiveSync is limited in the same manner that OWA and web services are. See the following page to see how to increase this limit:

How do I wipe/delete all of the data in my Mail App on OS10.10?

I want to delete everything connected to Mail App on my OS X device.
How do I wipe/delete all of the data in my Mail App on OS10.10?
Thank you.

Remove your email accounts from Mail. Quite Mail. Navigate to the /Home/Library/ folder. Locate the Mail folder and drag it to the Trash. Go to the Preferences folder and locate all preference files starting with "com.apple.mail" and drag them to the Trash. Go to the Containers folder and drag the two com.apple. mail related folders to the Trash.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.
Do not re-open Mail lest it attempt to re-populate all that information from iCloud.

How to you update the html once a Mail app is published?

I have a sample Office 365 Mail app
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/Outlook-Email-Forwarder-App-650a5b41/view/Discussions/0?showDiscussionForm=True
The app loads great and I can see run it ok. But if I update the HTML page it never gets updated. How do I update the code for the mail app once it is up and running? I was able to update it once but am not sure what I did.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
>> But if I update the HTML page it never gets updated. How do I update the code for the mail app once it is up and running?
In debug mode, you need to reload the app by click the mail app to reflect the changes.
>> How to you update the html once a Mail app is published?
If you have already published the web application (for example, on Azure), you need to re-publish the web application to reflect the page changes.
Please let me know whether it works for you.

Missed useful feature in mail.app spotligth

In Leopard OS was a very useful feature in mail.ap spotligth.
When you drag'n'drop a letter to the spotlight window of the 10.5 mail.app all the letters from mail recipient were shown as a spotlight-find-result. It was a very useful feature in previous MacOS. Not it's lost.
Is this feature lost only in my OS?
English is not my native language, sorry for possible grammar mistakes.

Want more formatting features for Mail.app

Hi everyone,
Wouldn't it be nice if Apple made Mail.app as feature rich as Thunderbird?
Wow! You'd think they'd want Mail to be fully formattable and customizable with all the features available.
I can't believe we can't control background color for example.
Thanks

IMO, no.
I'm not a fan of using HTML for email message composition and I'm not interested in changing the background color of my messages or adding animated gifs or smileys and I don't enjoy receiving messages with the same.
Using HTML for email message composition increased the cost to exchange electronic messages and also causes a wide range of problems including major security issues - primarily for Windows users.

The slow death of Mail.app on iPod Touch 2.0.2 ...

Since the upgrade to 2.0.2 Mail.app on my Touch keeps on dieing on me. Usually it works for a couple of days before it gets to the stage where when I open Mail I just see the white screen before it crashes a couple of seconds later.
I tried everything suggested anywhere, restoring from back up, setting it up as a new iPod...
Now yesterday I could actually see it degrading to the point where it was dead (again):
During the day it's hooked up to the WiFi at work and I get my Exchange mail on it. During the day I noticed that from the mails popping up on the Touch before they came into Outlook it went via mails popping up on the Touch after Outlook with more and more delay to the point where push didn't work at all any more and I had to go into Mail and then it would pull the mails. And finally in the afternoon it didn't even do that any more and in the end it got to the point where Mail greeted me with the now all so familiar white screen before it crashes...
I'm now waiting for the point where it doesn't even show the unread number of mails any more which I had last time before I restored it...
Quite frankly, I'm getting to the point where I'm rather annoyed! It can't be possible that I have to restore my Touch from scratch again every week or two!
So far I don't have the problem with 3rd party apps crashing on me but my confidence into the statement of Big Steve that app crashes will be fixed in the next version is kind of understated, to put it mildly... If Apple doesn't even get their own apps stable how can they be expected to fix 3rd party apps??
Don't get me wrong, I'm using Mac for about 10 years now and love the stability and speed of OS X. I just don't get it: the Touch is a piece of specific hardware in a locked down eco system and yet Apple is still unable to supply on this platform the same stability as on "normal" OS X with all the stuff I can manually break on there and all the software I can run on it.
I would like to get this fixed once and for all!
Frank

And now I'm also getting the Error 0xE800002E when I try to update apps on the Touch... This thing turns out to be almost a crappy as Windows Mobile....
Apple, is RESTORING from scratch your ONLY answer to everything? What about FIXING things?? With things like this I can see why people don't want iPhones / iPods in enterprise environments... These days I can even FIX Windows and don't have to RESTORE it every time something goes wrong...
Again, don't forget that I'm a Mac Man... question is just for how long ...

How do I get rid of the "notebook folder" in mail app?

In the mail app under my aol account there is a folder named "notebooks". It can't be deleted. It only appears on my mac. It doesnt show on my ios devices and it doesnt show on the aol mail web site. How do I find the source of this folder? Aol says its creaated by an application in my mac but they wont tell me how to fix it. Any ideas?

Two and a half years later I have the same question?
anybody?

Archiving mail on mobile does not reflect the archived state on Mail.app - it stays in "Inbox"

I am using the latest MacBook Pro on the latest Mavericks. The rest of Mail.app seems to work fine, but I have this very annoying problem.
I use multiple devices for email - my iPad, my Android phone, etc. The whole point of IMAP is that you can do this, without issues.
When I archive a message on mobile, it does not reflect as archived on Mail.app, no matter how many times I restart Mail.app. I even took it offline, then back online a few times.
This is specifically for gmail and Google Apps email accounts. Any ideas?
thanks
Amit

Same problem here.
I have several imap email accounts. They are different. Some are Gmail, some iCloud, some custom, etc...
When I archive, reply, delete, etc... emails on my Mac using Mail.app, they reflect on the iPhone. But when I do the same on the iPhone and get back to the computer, they don't reflect that way on Mail.app
I miss Mail.app that was in Mountain Lion. I didn't have this problem before.
