"To" field in preview pane is always empty

About a week or two ago, Apple Mail suddenly quit displaying the "To" information in the preview pane. The "To" field is there, but it's blank. E-mails are sent just fine, but not being able to sort by "To" is becoming quite a burden. It started happening after a recent power outage, but the computer stayed up due to my battery back-up.
What can I do to get this working again?

Never mind. Rebuilding the mailbox wrote everything back in.

What is the library section in the bookmarks toolbar used for now. I used to be able to organize my bookmarks here now the left pane in library under organize bookmarks is always empty.

Used to be able to organize bookmarks in the library section (left pane) but since upgrade this pane is always empty even if i try to add a folder or bookmark. Is there another way to organize without having to do this in the library section.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Leopard Mail Preview Pane

In Tiger, the preview pane for mail was made into columns. First the mailboxes, etc, then the mail, then the preview pane. Now, in Leopard, the preview pane is below the list of emails. I prefer the former. Any idea how to change it back? I've looked in preferences, view, window and can find no answers. Also, no one else has posted anything about this that I could find.
Am I that obtuse or am I the only one who cares?
Please help.

This was never the default view (the preview pane has always been below the messages by default), so you must've had a plugin installed that allowed you to change it. As suggested in another reply, take a look at Letterbox and, if that doesn't work, WideMail.

Emails not displaying in preview pane

Lately, I have noticed that my emails are not always displaying in the preview pane.
At first I thought that I needed to wait for what seems like ages for the adverts to load. However, even when the adverts ARE loaded it is hit and miss as to whether messages appear in the preview pane when clicking on them.
Of course I can double click on them to open in full page mode but this is not supposed to be necessary.
I am accessing my emails via the BT Yahoo web page, not a thiird party client such as Windows Live Mail, Outlook Express etc.
Anybody else seeing this?

Nor am I; it was a suggestion which you might like irrespective of your issue. An ad blocker would eliminate the adverts, both as the cause of the problem and as an annoyance (which is how most people regard them).
I don't use webmail but have had a peep. Even though I have an excellent BB connection the (empty) preview pane is taking a little while to appear just now. There may be a time-out issue with the Yahoo! server, which wouldn't be helped if adverts are loading.
Installed Simple Adblock but still hit and miss with the preview pane so assume it's the server.
However, a BIG improvement on my BT Home Page. The adverts there completely naused up the way I wanted it to look.
Adverts now missing and it looks much better.
Thanks.

Preview pane displays message other than highlighted in the mailbox list

After deleting some messages in my mailbox I've noticed that when I highlight a message, I sometimes see a completely different one in the preview pane (usually it's an earlier message a few days/dozens of messages old). The headers (date/sender/subject etc) in the preview pane do not match same fields in the highlighted line of mailbox contents (top pane in my case). When I double-click the message in the list to open it, it opens the window with a correct title (subject), correct sender's thumbnail image, but wrong headers and contents (same one that was previewed, not the one I want).
As a result I can't access some of the messages at all through mail.app - though I see they are there and luckily can still read them through mail web access. This only happens with a limited number of selected messages that I can't access permanently. I get about 50 messages a day, and so far have noticed this with 6 or 8.
Logging off/on, restarting mail.app and the system, emptying trash folders and similar routines don't seem to help.
Any clues?..

I'm a little surprised that you've ended up with duplicates. Those messages would have been there prior to re-indexing just that now you can see them. It suggests to me that something has happened some time ago with Mail which has resulted in the same messages being retrieved from the server a second time because it had lost the record of having retrieved them initially. Perhaps there has been some sort of failure with your Mac at the time it was downloading messages. Does that seem likely ???... The originals never got added to the index and now that you've rebuilt the index it has revealed them. No big deal as you say just the hassle of having to identify and delete them.

Upon mail arriving, current message in preview pan is deselected

Since I have upgraded to Snow Leopard I have been experiencing an intermittent weird bug in the Mail.app.
When reading a message in the preview pane, if at that time there is an incoming message, the message I was reading gets deselected in Mail and the Inbox list gets refreshed. It is rather annoying because in some cases it takes 2-3 attempts to finish reading a message as it disappears from the preview due to other messages arriving.
Anyone experienced this?

Actually this not only happens upon new mail arriving. I cannot seem to find the real trigger for it. The sympthom is always that the currently active message gets deselected and the content from the preview pane disappears.

Agent Inbox in WebIC always empty ?

Hi All,
We have an Account in CRM. It has been assigned as Sold-To-Party to 4 Sales Orders.
But, when we search the Account in WebIC, the Agent Inbox and Field Worklist is always empty.
Any idea why this must be happening ? Are we missing any customizing ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
On Agent Inbox, you must enter you account # to search, if it still does not show your records, then check if the category drop down box has your required transaction type in the list, if not then the search does not show the list.
in this case if you want to add the transaction type to the drop down list please do the customizing changes, follow below path to do the same.
SAP Implementation Guide->Customer Relationship Management->Interaction Center WebClient ->Agent Inbox ->Inbox Search Definitions->Define Item Categories for Searches.
hope this helps,

Why do my work item display only in Preview pane

Hi,

Windows Explorer Preview pane does not work with .docx files

This question follows on from previously unresolved questions posted on this forum (see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aec7b30a-0709-4d54-b5c7-570dc5b115df/preview-pane-and-windows-explorer?forum=officeitproprevious) and another forum I
have visited.
The problem:
In windows explorer scrolling down (using mouse or arrow keys) in the library pane from one file to the next stops at a word document with more than 2 pages. Instead of continuing to scroll through the file list in the library pane it switches to scrolling
through the pages of the document in the preview pane. This is a major pain because it impedes being able to move quickly through the files within a folder.
The logical way this should work is to always scroll within the library pane unless you click in the preview pane to scroll through the document preview. This isn't how it is working.
I am using Windows 7 with Microsoft Office 2010.
Can someone please provide give me a solution.

Hi,
I did a test on my machine, couldn't reproduce this issue.
There doesn't seem to be any settings on Office to change that; anyway, please try repairing Office in Control Panel to try again.
Since it may be an issue more related to Windows Client, I suggest you post this question in Windows Client forum:

"enter" key in Mac Mail erratic (in preview pane)

Hi,
I finally moved from Snow Leopard to Yosemite.
I noticed that the behavior of the 'enter' key (the misnamed key that should be called 'return', #1)
when used in the message preview pane is erratic.
Hitting 'enter' always deletes the highlight message ... that's expected.
But what isn't expected is that sometimes the highlight moves *down* to the
next older message, and sometimes it moves *up* to the next newer message.
The behavior I've seen for the last four "enter"s: down, up, up, down.
This is highly disconcerting, and I've already lost (into the trash) emails due to this ...
because as I'm hitting "enter" to delete the current message, I've reading ahead,
I see the message above (where I expect the highlight to go), and have decided
"yeah, I'll delete that too" ... and I hit the enter key a second time, before realizing
the darn highlight moved the wrong way.
I've done a fair amount of testing ... including:
   - having the above message being read vs. not yet read
- having the below message being read vs. not yet read
- using arrow/mouse to move to a mesage
There's no apparent cause/effect. About 80% of the time, 'enter' deletes and
then moves up ... 20% of the time it deletes and moves down.
As you may guess, Snow Leopard's Mac Mail *always* moved up for me
View:
[x] sort by date (and, clicked on date so newest is at top, not bottom)
[x] newest message on top
(nothing else checked; I've previously clicked on "Expand all conversations",
but rather than showing it checked, sigh, it's now grayed out (along with
"Collapse all conversations", and "Organize by conversation" is black (not grayed
out, and not checkmark).
Prefs:
General:
      mail .app / Auto / None / [x] play / inbox only / inbox only / never /
      Downloads / After Message is Deleted / Show a list,
      three checkboxes are unchecked
     (i.e., nothing having to do with viewing
   Viewing
     [x] Use classic layout
      List Preview [2 lines]   (note: I suspect this should be grayed out
     when "classic layout" is selected, since (a) it has no effect, and (b)
     classic view uses a single line per message.)
     [x] load remote content
     [x] use smart addresses
     all else unchecked
   The other Prefs categories (Accounts, Junk Mail, Fonts & Colors,
   Composing, Signatures, Rules, Mail Hub) have no apparent
controls that seem related to this.
I do have MailHub installed, but I'm not aware of it having a potential
to affect this behavior.
thanks,
Stan
#1. I mentioned "enter" vs. "return" to clarify that I mean the "normal" key people
nowadays think of as "enter" ... not the "keypad enter" (the "enter" key on
the numeric keypad / secondary keypad). I'm just being pedantic, I guess : )
Message was edited by: sieler
(fixed minor typo)

Er, make that "backspace", not "enter", to delete the highlighted message. Sigh, sorry!
However, I found the answer.
Assume you've hit the up or down arrow in the message preview pane.
Now, "backspace" will delete the highlighted message *and* move in the
same direction as your last up or down arrow!
In effect, Mail says "hmm...you were moving in direction X before, so you probably
want to move in direction X again".
(Had there been no up/down keypress since starting Mail, "up" is the default direction.)
And if your last direction was indicated by pressing pageUp or pageDown?
...trick question ... those don't move you in the message preview pane
Annoying, but at least I (think) I understand it.

Problems with Preview pane

I've attempted to adjust the motion of photos in an iMovie. I clicked on the photo, chosen Media and Photos and the clicked on Show Photo Settings. However, the photo I want to adjust will not appear in the preview pane. It will be black or a photo from my iPhoto library will appear. However, if I Import a photo and add it to the movie, the new photo can be adjusted but only until I save the project. What can I do to address this?

This might not be your problem, but there is a bug in iM that prevents editing a Ken Burns effect photo if you have previously emptied the iM trash for your project. In that case you would need to reimport the photo before you can edit it. A good rule of thumb is never to empty the iM trash.
If the above is not your problem, then you should try the oft recommended procedure of 1) closing iMovie and trashing the com.apple.iMovie.plist file found in user/library/preferences (on relaunch iMovie will recreate this file), and 2) repairing permissions by using the Disk Utility app.

Mail message list and preview pane no longer in sync?

I'm having a strange problem with Mail. When I select certain messages in the message list, a completely different message is shown in the preview pane. It seems to be a problem with specific message, perhaps they all arrived with in a few days of each other. It's predictable in that the same message always has the same heading information in the message list and causes the same message to show in the preview pane, it's just not the right message (the one that corresponds to the selected message header in the list). I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone how difficult that makes it to find anything. It happens with the effected messages regardless what mailbox or smart folder they are in.
I'm thinking I need to tell Mail to recreate some kind of header cache or something but I don't know where/how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

have you tried to rebuild the offending mailboxes? select a specific mailbox, then go to the mail menu, mailbox>rebuild
hope this helps

Mail: why are draft edits in preview pane not saved?

Hi,
when viewing drafts in the preview pane, the preview pane accepts edits, which it doesn't when displaying received mails. However once I highlight another draft in my drafts folder, so that the preview pane shows something else, and then return to the supposedly edited draft, the edits are lost.
Am I just not getting it, or how do you save edits to drafts made in the preview pane. If editing in preview pane is not actually possible, why does it accept edits then?
Many thanks if someone can shed some light on this :-)

D/L Thunderbird but not set it up as active on line program. No new mail settings etc. Most of the old copied file folders were set as "read only" which I understand is the default of backups and causes problems on non rewrite DVD. Not a problem on ex - HD. I do not understand but it seems TB sets up an "APPS DATA" file that it separate from regular data files (but both are in Documents library). One on-line suggestion was to copy old "APPS DATA" into new TB structure ( a replacement) It did not work. Then tried replacing just parts with no better luck.
I only want to open the old files. No desire to going back to TB as working program. Use Chrome and gmail now.
Explorer2 film management program can preview the email in the old file but TB sees it as an empty file.

Thank you for your kind consideration of my problem. Up until the software started to print blank pages the preview pane always showed the selected print within the selected layout. Something has changed. Lightroom will print to the JPEG file but only a blank page on the Epson 2880. I've been in contact with Epson support and an IT tech and they tell me the problem is with Lightroom. I'm at my wits end and thinking of upgrading but the glitch may carry over. Uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the preferences file did nothing to rectify the situation.
Thanks again!

In ipad email, I can see the content "subject " of the email in the preview pane but not in the right side of the screen. its blank...any ideas

In new IPAD, in email, can see subject data in preview pane but not on right side of screen, its always blank any ideas

Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
