Three-column version of Apple's Mail app under Leopard - is it possible

With OS 10.4 was possible through a plugin have a three column version of Mail... but once in Leopard, this plugin stopped working and I never heard anything similar... Does anyone know is if possible?

Mail.app on leopard crashes when Cmd-T (Fonts) invoked

Aloha gang - I have a problem with Mail.app under Leopard 10.5.4 (ever since 10.5.1 actually) on my iMac DualCore 24" system. Whenever I try to press Cmd-T for Format-Fonts I get a spinning beachball for 5 to 10 sec and then the entire app disappears. Crash! Every time. But Shift-Cmd-C for Color Palette works just fine! and every other aspect of Mail.app as well.
I had installed LetterBox plugin update, back in Nov 2007 when it was made available, as a Bundle but I uninstalled it when I thought it might be causing the crash - but Mail.app still crashes whenever I use Cmd-T.
I would appreciate any hints or help you can think of to resolve/fix this issue.
Mahalo!

'Nothing' usually means the connection to the server is ok, but no mail is ready to be retrieved or sent.
Confirm you can ping those servers and that mail is waiting to be pulled, etc. then trash & redo the connections again - restart your computer and see if it works.
If still now joy, try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
com.apple.mail.plist
*Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings so be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.

How can I edit received emails in Apple's Mail app? Also, delayed sending of replies?

I finally switched to Apple's Mail app 4 months ago after 12 years of using Eudora (because of the inevitable - that Lion or Mountain Lion, when I upgrade, will not support the foundation architecture that Eudora is built on).
There are (AT LEAST) two functions available in Eudora that I very much want to do with Mail and currently cannot figure out how to do. I'm hoping that someone knows of a plugin that will do these functions, or will write such a plugin, or will tell me how to make this suggestion to Apple to include in a future update.
1) I want the freedom to EDIT a received message - to correct a subject line, or make it more relevant for my reference, or add a key word/prefix to the subject for future searching and archiving, along with being able to edit the message itself, so that it is the equivalent in a book (or an eBook) of adding comments/marginalia for future reference. (In my opinion, once I receive an email message, it is MINE - so I should be able to do what I want with it (which includes the responsibility of not rewriting a message to resend to appear as deceptive or fraudulent).
2) Write up a draft email, that would reside in the "Send" folder of Eudora, and for which I could select a time in the future that it should be mailed (dependent on the fact that Eudora would be running at that time, else it would send the next time Eudora was opened. I would LOVE to be able to do that in Apple Mail. Rationale: Often, when I receive an actionable email, I want to respond at that moment while the subject is fresh, but due to priorities or scheduling reasons, I don't want the response to go out just then. Maybe I want the response to go out after an event three days from now, but I want to process the message right now, and I don't want to have to remember to make a ToDo item to remind me in 3 days.

Thanks, a brody.
That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

Apple's Mail app keeps jumping away to a different message when syncing....

Its been an issue since iOS 5.x for me at least.
I use the Apple Mail app on my iPhone 4s, because simple is good enough. But has this very annoying tendancy to jump out of the message I'm looking at and pull up another old message in the message view, when it syncs with the various mailboxes. Always seems to jump to the same old message.
Any ideas why and how to get Apple to fix thier mail app? If thats not gonna happen, how do I remove Apple's mail app and point all things mail to a new app of my choosing?
My setup, I read several mail accounts via the Apple Mail app:
Gmail EXCHANGE connection ( my main mail account and listed first in the Mailboxes list)
Another gmail accout, connected as a gmail mail account
Hotmail account
When I'm reading (viewing) a message, and a new sync happens, Mail jumps out of the message I was looking at and pulls up an old message from the gmail (as a gmail connection) message (account #2 in the list above).
Its REALLY annoying. Syncing is fine, but DO NOT change what the user is viewing as you sync.. why would you?

Annoyingly still happening in iOS 6.1.3 to this day.
I'll be reading a message in my main Gmail account, and the Apple Mail app checks for mail and then just jumps to show a message in a completley different mail inbox account .. a message that is rather old even.
How is this desireable behavior ?
If someone upgraded to iOS 7.xx and found they had this problem but its since been fixed, please let us know here.

Unable to receive gmail through apple's mail app 4.3 on Mac Book Pro

I am unable to receive gmail through apple's mail app 4.3, on my MacBook Pro although I can receive my email on the gmail web site. *I can send email through Mail with no problems I just can't receive any e-mail in Mail.* Recently I got a message that my user name or password was incorrect. I made sure the information was correct but still I can't receive any e-mail in Mail. Could somebody please help me?
Here are the settings. Are they correct?
Account Type: Gmail IMAP
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com

I had the same problem. The unlocking mentioned above worked for me. Right now mail.app is downloading the messages.
I've also on other message boards found a link for correct setup: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/answers/howto_setup_gmail_imap_andmail.app1/
The key here is to go to labs and enable advanced IMAP settings.
I'm not cheering yet if I hover over the folders / labels that are synced I get de message "Unable to open "foldername""

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.

When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to follow

When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to time to follow up with that email ?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

How do you get the mail boxes set up on your Bt yahoo safari account on to the apple e.mail app on an I pad mini?

How do you get mailboxes set up on Bt yahoo in safari onto your apple e.mail app?

When you say Mailboxes, do you mean actual folders or the overall setting up of Yahoo mail on iPad? If overall setup then when you select Mail it should show some email suppliers, I believe Yahoo should be listed, if you select it, it should then ask for you details.
If you mean folders, if Yahoo is IMAP based if you create folders online via webmail, they should pull through to your iPad when the account has been set up.
Alternatively, if you have got mail up and running on your iPad and want a new folder, just select your account under the Accounts heading in Mail you should see a list of all the folders present, click EDIT in at the top of the screen, just to the right of where it is likely to say either Yahoo or BT and it will then give you the option to add a mailbox(FOLDER) at the bottom of the screen.

Reinstalling Mail app on Leopard?

So like a dummy I uninstalled the Mail app from Leopard because I thought you had to have a .mac account to use it. After finding out that it can be used with hotmail I'd like to reinstall it which I'm guessing I can do from the install disc but I was wondering if anyone knew what the Mail app is listed as in the "optional" install list?
I see a bunch of "blah blah" pkg files but none that clearly say "hey this is the Mail app" file. I also didn't have an external hdd at the time so it's not on Time Machine. Any help would be appreciated.

Restoring Lost OS X Files
If you erase or otherwise "lose" an OS X system application or utility (such as Mail or Disk Utility, for example) you can restore them without having to reinstall OS X.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Read the documentation. Use Pacifist to extract a fresh copy of the missing application from the file archives on your OS X Installer disc. The file archives are usually found on the installer disc in the /System/Installations/ folder.
After restoring the application you need to reinstall the OS X Combo Updater for the version of OS X you currently have installed. This assures the new copy of the application is updated to the current version.
Lastly, it's a good idea to repair permissions.

Frustrated With Apple's Mail.app Interface :(

Been Mac user since System 7.5 in professional publishing environment.
Just was forced to using Mail.app and I have to wonder about the new Geniuses.
I create a new email and attach a word.doc and Acrobat .pdf — first I can't tell if they are actually attached or what is actually attached — so confusing.
I click on Get New Message and I can't tell if the app is actually doing something, then I can hardly hear the sound when it finishes the task.
Sorry for the rant:(

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.

Can iPhone Mail redirect mail to subfolders like the Apple desktop Mail app

In my Mail app on my computer, I have Rules set up so that certain emails from various people get moved to a few different subfolders I have set up. However, in my iPhone, they all come to my primary email address. Is there any way to make iPhone mail behave and redirect certain emails to subfolders? I belong to a few beta test groups and the amount of email is staggering, so I've rather have these emails redirected. Any advice? Thanks.

No - the iPhone does not include a rules feature to sort recieved messages by category, and you can't create mailboxes with the iPhone's Mail client. The iPhone's Mail client is a compliment to the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, not a replacement for.
With an IMAP account along with storing all user created mailboxes on the server for sorting recieved messages by category, all server stored mailboxes will be available with the iPhone's Mail client and kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. If you keep the Mail.app on your Mac launched and running, any sorting of received messages to user created server stored mailboxes based on rules with the Mail.app on your Mac will be reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client. This is not possible with a POP account.

Apple Mail.app in Leopard removes HTML formatting

Hi,
This is not something I see universally, but in many of my mails (Exchange account, company ID, hence, can't post screenshots), sometimes, Mail.app strips the html formatting! Sometimes, something as simple as a table is missing. All I see is the text that would have been inside it. The background colours, etc in certain mails also sometimes go missing.
Only when someone replies to the same mail and has the original mail included, do I see the formatting!
Also, when I open my mailbox in Thunderbird or a browser, I can see the formatting correctly in the same mail!
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Anup

Mail > Preferences > Composing.
You have the option there to send and receive in plain text which will remove all formatting, maybe selected...Change to what you wish to happen

Mail.app on Leopard & Tiger glitch with "leave mail on server" setting.

A coworker has configured her two Macs (one at work, running 10.4.11; and one at home, running 10.5.8) to download email from a single POP account on our company server, using Mail.app on each system.
She did this by using the "Remove copy from server after retrieving message:" setting checked on, and with "after one month" selected from the associated pop-up menu.
This worked fine for her for a few weeks, but recently both computers seem to have lost track of which messages they've previously downloaded. As a result, whenever she checks mail, both versions of Mail.app want to download the roughly several thousand emails stored in her inbox.
Is there some known glitch in Mail that explains this? Or is there some interaction between the two Mail apps that might be creating confusion? Or is that setting just not intended to work the way we're expecting?
I personally use that same approach to manage mail between a couple of devices and mail clients (including a copy of Mail.app), and have done for years without anything like this behavior, so I'm baffled.
Thanks for any advice!

Can't get .mac mail using Mail.app under 10.4.7

hi guys
this is an odd one - I simply cannot connect to the .mac mail servers using mail.app. I have tried deleting and recreating the accounts, no success.
Open to suggestions!
Internet connection is fine, and all other mail comes down fine...

How to re-install mail app (snow leopard)?

I accidently trahsed the mail app that some of my mail files are deleted as well as my Outgoing Mail Server was deleted.
How to re-install my mail app and will it recover the mail files and fix my outgoing mail server?
WIll it make me send mail? How to make my Outgoing Mail Server NOT offline?

Restore from your Time Machine backup to get the app and messages back. If you have not been backing up then you have lost all of your email's. You can use Pacifist to re-install the Mail App though, you can find Pacifist at:
