Syncing rules in Mail (OSX) don't work...

I can't sync rules with iCloud. When I activate Documents and Data in iCloud, the rules configured in Mail are deleted. If I create a new rule, when re-start Mail, the rule dissapear.
If turn off Documents and Data, all work perfect. I have a backup of SyncedRules.plist (Library->Mail->V2->MailData) to restore.
I had tried a lot of "fixes", but nothing work.
I have another issues with Documents and Data betwen iOS and Mac. Syncing of data with apps like Tweetbot, IAwriter, iWork... don't work. I'm sure something in my iCloud account is wrong, but I don't know how fix it.
Are there anyone from Apple that can help me?.
Thanks.
Regards.

Not as part of my immediate issue, but (as I did explain above) 1) this thread deals with rules/sigs vanishing, and 2) that seems to happen a lot, to people who sync AND people who don't, 3) it seems that this problem is sometimes attributed to iCloud syncing when that is not the problem and 4) I was hoping there might be some related Mail issue (besides just iCloud) that *might* help explain things. I aslo said I thought it was a long shot, but....any port in a storm. No offense intended, but it seems that my long shot didn't turn up any useful info.
That said, since i DO have a heckuva lot of rules set up, and having them reside eslewhere might be useful. Is there a way to move rules already in existence to iCloud? If I make changes locally, will they get picked up by iCloud or overwriten? If not, then iCloud won't help me at present.....

Why do rules in mail preferences no longer work

I just converted to Mavericks. Now the rules for mail messages don't work. I've clicked them off and on again but no change. What else to I need to do to make the rules work?

Duplicate your copy of iTunes 10.x before upgrading to iTunes 11 (or restore it from a backup) and use iTunes 10.x to listen to (and in particular access the links in) podcasts. Further, file a bug with Apple that these links don't work when the album art is displayed in the album art mini-player.

Yosemite Mail Shortcuts Don't Work

I just upgraded to Yosemite and my customized Mail shortcuts are not working.
I have shortcuts for changing the account I want a message sent from (Option-Command-G for Gmail, Option-Command-Y for Yahoo, etc).
I also have shortcut for select the signature (Option-Command-X for None).
After upgrading to Yosemite there is no way that I can make them work.
Any suggestion will be truly appreciated.
Regards.
Adolfo

Thank you lindytalbot.
Unfortunately, I had to downgrade to Mavericks.
Many issues. Bluetooth: Magic Mouse works inconsistently. Poor performance with Apple TV which I use it a lot with Skype for video conferencing. Shortcuts.
Again. thanks a lot for your reply.

Mail (Mountain Lion): If you can’t send messages

Mail attachments don't work iphone

I have three users who updated their phones to 7.0.4. After doing so, half of the email attachments don't show up in emails. Instead, they get a "this message has no content." It happens with different email senders and different attachment file types (pdf and xls). One user specifically noted that it happened after updating to 7.0.4. Two of those users are on iPhone 4S's and another is on a variation of 5.
Any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it?
side note: mail attachments on those same problem emails work on the user's Outlook clients as well as Android phones (when tested).

Use Plain Text instead of RTF for message composition and place any attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used.
The Send Windows Friendly Attachments option is designed for only one thing and that is removing the Apple resource fork from an attached file which is invisible from fellow Mac users.

Mail Version 2.1.1 (752.3) Junk Mail Buttons Don't Work

I have ... Reset junk mail.
The problem occurs before and after junk mail is reset and junk mail learning mode is active for any number of days.
When I get junk mail in my inbox and click on it once and then use either the "Not Junk" icon in Toolbar or "Not Junk" button in message header, Mail treats the message as not junk. When another e-mail arrives from same sender, it's again marked as junk. I've noticed that some messages revert to the "junk" colour even after they are marked as not junk.
I've repaired permissions and restarted the iMac and restarted Mail app.
Wonder if I have the latest version of Mail? Please help. Thanks

Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the junk filter rule.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t change anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).
You can use the Colors palette (Format > Show Colors) to manually change the background highlight of messages in the message list. Although the Colors palette cannot be used to set the foreground color, it can be used to remove it. In particular, choosing either black or white removes both the background highlight and the foreground color of the messages currently selected in the message list.

Advanced sync settings - deleting mail from Itouch not working

There's a new setting in Syncing in iTunes under Info tab that offers a chance to delete mail, bookmarks etc on my iTouch and update from puter, but doesn't work. Emails still on touch - have to delete manually. Any ideas?

Hi there-unfortunately I flagged this on here way back when the phone had only been out a few days.Nokia support were hopeless and eventually told me to take it to a Nokia shop(there isn't one locally) so I dug my heels in and they got an 'expert' to phone me. Basically the answer is you can't take them off the phone the delete from phone is useless and a waste of time because it does nothing. I have lost a lot of emails trying and the only way to get rid of them is to either remove from server too and re synchronise(which you may not want to do-like me !) or remove them on your email account and re synchronise the phone and they go. Apparently the way it connects to the server on this model it is the only way they can do it!! Complete rubbish- I like the phone but this is completely stupid. Sorry it's not want you want to hear but they do know about it and it is designed that way not a bug!

Rules in Mail 6.0 quit working

I have created several rules in Apple Mail. Under previous editions of Mail, these rules worked flawlessly. Now, using Mail 6.0 and OS X 10.8.1, whenever I quit Mail, the rules reset and no longer work. Ideas?

ICloud Mail & Contacts don't work well together?

I have iCloud activated for Mail and Contacts. Now, when in Mail and I try to address an email, the address book shows up but none of the sub address books show up. How do I get them populated? Do I have to go back to syncing with MobileMe?

this is not a bug - but you're right its a serious problem.
The same happens on Linux/NVidia too igf I force antialiasing and use the OGL pipeline.
This happens because java tries to accerlate some graphic opeerations with DirectX or OpenGL and it simply wants the graphic-card to render the stuff it sends the graphic card.
However with AA turned on you graphic card tries to optimize the data coming from java which is nonsence since the AA was designed for games.
So basically its neither java's fault nore the dirvers one.
Both work as expected - but not well together. I think driver-manufactureres should provide a common API for telling the driver that this and that application does NOT want to be AA'ed even if its forced.
Till now there's nothing SUN could do about this issue...

E.mail aliasses don't work...

I'm having a problem with my e.mail accounts / alliases (not with my default main account, but with the extra ones I've created)
I know the address is active; I can for example send myself an e.mail TO this address. I just can't send FROM, as I am always asked:
"Enter Password for Account "KrienQuad"
The .Mac server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
Now I am sure the password is correct; but it doesnt seem to recognise it and refuses to send?
I'm not sure if it might be to do with each accounts outgoing mail server (tried using the smtp.mac.com:[email protected], as well as my ISP and my main .mac server)
I'm really stumped - can anyone shed some light? Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Is your Profile correct that you are running 10.3.9? If so, the ability to send directly with .mac alias addresses was only added to 10.4 and Mail 2.0.
If you have other accounts, provided for example by your ISP, you can add the .mac alias addresses to those addresses listed in the email address preference entry box of the other accounts, and using commas to separate each address.
More info, and questions, please.

Maverick update: messanger/mail express don't work

Hello All,
With all of the updates (Maverick), my wife's messanger & mail express no longer open up. They are locked down. I tried to dump both into the trash but Maverick won't allow me to do that. Also, I cannot find either on the dowload store. If I missed the obvious, I apologize in advance. Any suggestions?
Yes, I can wipe the HD and start over but am trying to avoid that. Any assistance would be greatful.
Thank you in advance.

Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

Hi
thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.
Debbie

I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

Hyperlinks in Apple Mail (OSX 10.9) not working

Hi,
Since last week, I can't use any hyperlinks in the e-mails I open with Apple Mail. These are links pasted in e-mails, links automatically generated, and movies in e-mails that don't work.
I have tried using the control-button, but to no avail. The only option I have is to copy paste to my browser (Safari).
One funny thing I noticed, when I tried sending feedback to Apple Mail is the error message 'The application "Google Chrome" can't be opened. - 10810".
I don't use Chrome. Is it possible that my hyperlinks don't work, because Apple Mail is trying to find Google Chrome? Why would it do so?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Gerben Dangremond

Asking the question is one way to answer it. It turns out Chrome was set as my default browser. I changed it via the preferences in Safari. I never used Chrome on this Macbook Pro, but maybe I accidentally changed the default browser. Or may Google is really taking over.

Cannot establish new Rules in Mail 7.3

For at least the last 6 months when I try to set up new Rules in Mail, they don't stay. The old ones I set up >6 months ago always appear to work, but if I define a new rule and apply it immediately it works,but next time I open Mail it is gone from the list of Rules.
Any suggestions for how to fix this? I like to filter some incoming messages into certain mailboxes using Rules but can no longer do this because new Rules have become ephemeral
TIA for any help.
Caroline

One thing to remember is that mail rules are only executed on incoming email. To run a rule against existing email, Mail > Message > Apply rule.
