Trouble dragging emails to folder in Mail app after snow leopard upgrade.

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, the mac mail app is not dragging emails into a folder (mailbox) the same as it was before. If I select multiple images, then drag them into a folder, it leaves some of them out, and only drags some of them, so I have to go back and find reselect the images it didn't move and drag them into the folder again.
It doesn't always happen, but I find it happens most of the time. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

Same issue here. Specifically, it seems to be an issue when the emails aren't all right next to each other.
I thought 10.6.2 would fix it, but no such luck.

Weird outgoing mail issues after snow leopard upgrade

After upgrading to snow leopard a couple of weeks ago (then immediately to 10.6.5), I have been having trouble sending mail from my work machine on one account. After reading these forums and trying several solutions (listed below), the thing which seemed to work for me was deleting the outgoing mail server entry in the preferences pane and re-entering the information. However, this solution does not always work for me, and is only temporary; after some amount of time (variable? on the order of minutes?) the problem recurs.
If I open connection doctor the server in question displays a "Connecting to server..." message for a long time (minutes) and then "Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you...". I get this behavior even just after resetting the smtp server, while I am successfully sending test emails.
As with others here, the same account works fine on other machines.
Things I have tried, on my own or based on advice read in the forums:
1) specifying the port for the server in advanced settings
2) Deleting and re-adding both the smtp server and the imap account
3) Setting mobileme to manual sync
4) "cd /var/log;touch mail.log;sudo chown root:admin mail.log; sudo chgrp 644 mail.log" (which doesn't produce any logs for me).
Any help would be appreciated.

I for got to add
5) repair permissions in disk utility
6) reboot

Receiving email after Snow Leopard upgrade

Everything works fine after Snow Leopard upgrade 10.6.2 except I cannot RECEIVE email. I have checked with Comcast and verified my settings for both incoming and outgoing POP mail.

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
I had no problems of this sort when upgrading to Snow Leopard or 10.6.2. Were you already running Snow Leopard in an earlier version, or did you upgrade from Tiger (10.4.11) directly to SL 10.6.2?
Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail. Locate any files named to include MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded. At the root level of the Mail folder you should find one named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3, but look in each POP account folder also. There if you find any other, including MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 delete them from each POP account folder -- they are not used in versions of Mail later than 2.1.3.
Relaunch Mail and test.

TS3579 How do I reinstall mail app on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Is there an update file that I can pull a recent version of the Mac Mail app from onto my machine?
I am on Mac OSX 10.6.8
Situation:
I never use Mac Mail, but a recent client of mine was trying to configure it and so I thought I'd pull it up and help them setup an account on the phone.
The problem is,Mac Mail doesn't come up at all. I rarely use email right on my machine, what with Gmail and Thunderbird as my usual modalities with email. The thought of littering my machine with actual email files seems archaic.
So I deleted Mail app.
I then ran Software Update to see if it would notice the app as missing and attempt to reinstall but that was just wishful thinking. App store doesn't seem to care about existing packages on the machine beyond whatever is purchased in App store so that was a waste of time also.
I don't want to have to go through a lot of shenanigans with update programs and DVDs ...
I remember seeing somewhere how someone simply pulled the app out a recent update and just dragged it onto their machine - if anyone knows which update for 10.6.x Snow Leopard would have this app in it thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance

FIXED - THE SOLUTION
1. Locate your Apple Install DVD #1 - "Mac OSX Install DVD"
2. Download & install Pacifist See http://www.charlessoft.com/
3. Download the "Security Update 2012-004" file from here:http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
4. Delete all existing versions of Mail.app on system (See also https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4419244?start=0&tstart=0)
5. Open Pacifist and choose Open Package
Browse to the Optional Installs folder on the DVD, and open Optional Installs package (mpkg)
Pacifist will take a few minutes to open the package and display its contents.
"Now would be a great time to fill out your registration card" or go get a cup of coffee or cocktail, yes you have time.
Once the package contents have been revealed, locate the Mail.app and attempt to drag it to your Applications folder.
When you do this, Pacifist will prompt you for permission to extract it to where you dragged it to.
Click Extract
Then enter your password:
And Pacifist will extract the Mail.app to your Applications folder:
Yes, my apps are all nicely organized - it is legal to organize and declutter the disorganized mess that is your Applications folder, which is how Apple installs it. The only problem is that because Apple thinks a disorganized mess of an Applications folder is just fine, their people don't take into account actually locating the Mail.app when they do the security update, and just assume you'll have it in the sheeple location of "Applications". That's what caused this problem to begin with.
Now, if you try to run this version of the app, on a system previously updated to 10.6.8, you will get an error:
6. Right, so now you run the SecUpd2012 004, and reboot.
As a side note, Security Update 2012-004 will s h i t an unusable version of the Quicktime player into your Applications folder also.
See it there without the proper icon.
Since I had accidently deleted Quicktime 7 from my machine, not really missing it, but I was wondering what happened to it ... so using Pacifist I was also able to get a working version back onto my system the same way as Mail. So while Security Update 2012-004 s h i t s this unusable version into the Applications folder, it does nothing to update the Quicktime 7 app. Perhaps someone else can explain that. So I just deleted the unusable Quicktime Player app.
Now, Mail.app works fine even before reboot, as does Quicktime as is from the Optional Installs mpkg but you gotta reboot after the update but it should work already.

Mail app and Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion and Mavericks

I have, and use, 3 different Macs, an older MacMini running Snow Leopard, an older MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks. My personal email account, setup using the Mail.app, works fine on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. On the MBP running Mavericks, I setup the Mail.app using the same settings as on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. It doesn't work. Nothing but timeouts.
I've read a lot about the problems with Mavericks and IMAP and updated Mavericks apps, including Mail. Still no go. I'm not so much asking for help as registering that the IMAP problems aren't fixed.
But if anyone has some ideas, I'm listening.
Thanks all!
Brenda

I'd check to see if the latest version of the plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible or not, unless you have a really large number of plug-ins to deal with, where you could just see what's broke and what's not, post upgrade. But beware of retaining the old ones. For example, 10.6 Mail broke the GPG-Mail plug-in that works under 10.5.x. Search the Snow Leopard Mail forum using the search phrase "GPG Mail" OR GPGMail OR "GPG-Mail" or other mail plug-in names of interest to you.

Mail.app on Snow Leopard won't retrieve messages through POP3

Hi.
I've just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I managed to setup a Gmail IMAP account which worked fine. Then I tried to setup POP accounts of my GoDaddy hosting/email plan. The setup seemed to finish without problems but when I hit the "Get mail" button... Nothing happens. And I mean "nothing". No error, no notice, no downloaded messages, nothing. I can't even send email using their smtp servers.
Anyone has any idea what might be wrong?
Thank you.

'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 to get iPhone sounds for Mail.app on Snow Leopard?

Hi,
I like the "new text message" sound called "Chime". I would like to use this sound for new mails in Mail.app, too. Is there any way I can download this sound on my MacBook Pro (from some webpage?)?
The sound "Glas" is available both on Mail.app and on the iPhone, but note the "Chime" sound.
Cheers

How to re-install apps after Snow Leopard install

I went from OS 10.4.11 to Snow leopard 10.6 OS, I have not Updated versions yet.
I used SupperDupper to back all of my hard drive of 10.4.11, prior to install of 10.6 OS.
I sort of thought that my applications and all of my settings would still be in place, that Snow Leopard would carry them over to it's new OS.
What a disappointment. No personal computer stuff from my old OS is present.
No System setup information is present, no Air port settings, No e-mail settings, no network settings, what a pain in the ........ well you know.
I got a basic OS right now and nothing else.
I do have the whole hard drive back up on an external though. how can I have MAC take the settings and third party applications and place them on the new OS without making problems for the new OS. Don't want to replace new MAC app files, with old ones.
if I use drag and drop then I have to spend a day and a half rebuilding network connections and then registering everything again.
How do I protect the integrity of 10.6 but still get my applications working without re-loading and without re-regeistering everything again application, by application.
Thanks for you replies
Randy

Alright, Superduper app on the backup drive allows me to launch SD, however, when I select the copy from drive (my backup) to copy to the copy to drive, the laptop HD, I find that the Laptop HD is grayed out.
I dragged and dropped SD to the Laptop and then launched and received the same result, the Laptop HD is still grayed out.
My SD says at the bottom of the window, Unregistered, but it was registered on my laptop before the OS install.
So i am I right that I have to get my network working, then register SuperDuper again, then see if I can select the Laptop HD as the destination drive for moving the apps over to?

Can't drag and drop MP3 files into GB since Snow Leopard upgrade

Not sure if this is a known issue but ever since I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6), I have only been able to import (drag & drop) some MP3's into a podcast project. For example, some files I was able to import before, no longer can be dragged and dropped to create a new track.
I've tried creating a new podcast project but thats not working either. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I just read another from another website - http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
that if you choose delete the prefernce files .plist/.cs and use "SAVE AS" vs "SAVE" the files I referred to above get saved when attempting to open th project again. I tried it and it seems to work for me now. I hope this helps others with the GB *"File Not Found"* dilemma in Leopard and Garageband V5.1

Email Glitch After Snow Leopard Upgrade

Since upgrading and doing the update that is designed to fix some glitches I still have 2 problems.
1) My signature attaches to all replies and must be removed on each. In the old system you could set the signature to automatically attach only to new messages and never to replies. Is this no longer possible?
2) When I hit reply, the text box contains the original message, which I prefer, but it is all the way at the top of the text box and starts with a line conataining the date, time and sender of the original incoming note. can I change how this looks and give myself a couple more lines at the top above the original message to which i am responding?

First of all you can click on Mail in the menubar and choose About Mail -- this will identify the version your are running.
In Mail Preferences/Signature, below the menu for choosing if the use and which Signature to use, there is a box that can be checked to place the Signature above quoted text.
Another thing to note -- again no change in Snow Leopard -- is if when in the Compose window you click on the Icon to the left of the From address, and choose Customize, you can then check to always have an option right in the Compose Window to change Signature or to choose None.

Virtual Desktop Apps and Snow Leopard Upgrade

I'm currently running most recent version of Parallels Desktop and I'm concerned that when I upgrade to Snow Leopard I will lose the use of PD until Parallels' updates their software. Unfortunately, I need to use Windows OS for school! Not much on Parallels' website yet.
I'm just wondering if I should wait to upgrade until parallels folks catch up?

According to http://kb.parallels.com/en/6637
Parallels Desktop 4:
Parallels Desktop 4.0 is compatible with Snow Leopard and can be installed on Snow Leopard Host, please make sure you are using the latest available build 3844. You might, however, experience some minor issues. We will release fully compatible Parallels Desktop 4 build to be installed on Snow Leopard soon.
We have following know issues with PD4 build 3844 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
1. Host Snow Leopard.
- QuickLook plugin crashes when trying to do preview on PVM bundle (crash invisible for user)
- Updater download but fail to install PD4 updates (workaround – close autoupdater and run installer manually)
- Mounter/Explorer fail to open PD4 disk images
- iPhone client fail to connect
- Taking snapshots very slow on host Snow Leopard
- Opening a web link from Windows in Mac Safari using Shared Internet Applications feature results in appending garbage to the link
- Snow Leopard 64bit host KP when connecting USB device
Depending how important windows is to you it might be worth waiting.

Images dont show up in mail.app after upgrade to Snow Leopard

So, this is kinda bizarre. None of my images in any emails show up in mail.app after i upgraded to Snow Leopard. This is despite that in mail.app preferences I have 'Display remote images in html email' selected. I've tried to unselect / select it, as well as trashing my com.apple.mail.plist and starting again to no avail.
Lastly, I have removed any and all bundles I had installed too. Any thoughts?

I have the same issue. Anyone know why?

How do I change incoming mail settings in Snow Leopard Mail?

When I try to change the settings for my Mail app, in Snow Leopard, the incoming mail settings are greyed out. What do I do to be able to change these?
(I had a problem, with my Mail account, which a consultant fixed for me on my laptop. But I cannot remember what he did to access the incoming mail server preferences, and make the changes, because on my desktop these are still greyed out.)

use the mail setup wizard, head over to Mail Community, mobileme ended.

Email sent from outside Mail app sits in outbox?

Whenever I try to send an email from outside the Mail app it just sits in my Outbox until I go in and re-send what I thought I'd already sent. Very annoying, any way to fix this? I sync email with Google Sync and Yahoo.

They are in your Library folder, but it is now hidden in Lion. You can unhide it by either:
hold Option key and to to Go Menu in Finder - Library will be there. Once open you can drag its' icon into the Sidebar if you want.
Or, you can use this terminal command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Once in the Library, there is the Mail folder. Please note that they are now in a folder named "V2" and the format is not compatible with Snow Leopard. You can try putting your folders there, but I do not know if that will work, especially since they are from 10.5.
