TS3276 Mail merging emails with no apparent connection in one thread

Hi.
This is a problem which started about 2 months ago and had gotten progressively worse.
Mail is merging emails from different people on different days with different subject titles into one long thread. There is no apparent reason or connection between the emails so I can't work out why Mail thinks they should all go in one thread.
It is even merging emails directed to my 3 different email accounts (but which are all managed in Mail) into the same threads. So for example, if someone emails me on [email protected] and someone else emails me on [email protected], they are merging into the same threads.
It doesn't do it with all the emails in my account, it just groups certain ones together. There are about 10 different threads with between 5-10 different sets of emails merged together in each thread.
I use Mail on two different computers and it is doing the same on both.
Can any one help to explain why it is doing this and how I can stop it? I want to keep the thread option but obviously only having the thread full of emails from the one person responding to their email rather than it merging 5-10 different peoples emails into one thread when they have no connection, different subject headings and so forth.
Many thanks for all your help in advance!

Hi
Thanks for you reply.
Tried this but it hasn't solved the problem.
As I mentioned, it happens on an iMac and a macbook where the mail is set to the same accounts. The exact same threads of messages merge. However on the macbook there are 3 email accounts and they all merge emails. On the iMac there are only 2 email accounts which show the same merged email threads as the macbook but without the 3rd email address's email mixed in.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

attempted to mail an email with a large attachment file. One of the addresses was bad. When my Outlook is running, the Mac tries to send it and shows the progress. However, when I look in my Outbox the files are not there. It does show up in the Outbox progress section but I can not delete it when it is there.
Where do these files reside?
Is there a hidden Outbox??

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Outlook 2010 - attachments with mail merge email

Is it possible to add an attachment to an email mail merge?

Hi,
Actually, Mail merge doesn't support attachments.
To work around this behavior, publish the attachment to a Web site on the Internet. After you do this, provide the path link for the attachment in the body of the
merged document that you are sending.
Or you can use a mail merge utility that is designed to send attachments or use VBA.
More information, you can refer to these articles:
You cannot add an attachment to an e-mail message as part of the mail-merge operation in Word

Word 2007 mail merge : problem with mixed portrait and landscape orientations

Hi there,
I have a 3 pages document Word 2007 file
This is a mail merge I want to export in PDF using Adobe Acrobat Printer,
then send "big" PDF to printing.
page 1 is PORTRAIT
page 2 is PORTRAIT
page 3 is LANDSCAPE
In PDF pages 1 and 2 are perfectly fine, inside an A4 format (width=210 height=297mm or something)
but for page 3, system changed to a "double" sized page (A3 width=297 height=420) and printed my stuff at the 1st top middle of big page.
So I have a big "double" sheet, oriented PORTRAIT, with my stuff in 1st half, and a blank in 2nd half.
It seems that system did not rotate the page... and just put the stuff into a bigger sheet to "solve" at best.
I would like the same size of paper (A4) but in landscape : width=297 height=210
I have already seen many PDF with mixed portrait and landscape orientations, so what's the thing ?
With my advanced thanks,
And greetings from Paris, France !

Some questions:
Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
(Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx

Why has mail on the ipad grouped several emails from different people with different subject matter into one thread?

This is really annoying.
The email initially started with me sending to one person. Which we then conversed several times without any issues.
I then sent a separate email completely unrelated to someone on a completely different email address, but when they replied back somehow their reply joined the same thread as this other email i sent initially.
Thinking that it might be a one of... I ignored it.
However, just now, an email i created through the LinkedIn app, which i sent from LinkedIn to a contact, somehow joined that first thread, when the person on linked in replied back to me.
Obviously i receive an email to my Mail account whenever someone messages me on linked in... But why on earth would that reply automatically get grouped into the completely different thread of emails?
I NOW have emails to three different people who are completely unrelated with three completely unrelated subjects, that are appearing in one thread with no obvious way to separate these.
Any solutions or suggestions? I've tried to move them, but it will only let me move the the messages into different folders, and not my inbox as separate messages.

Hi Anya!
Thanks for the response. Regarding your question, Yes, I have confirmed that people were receiving multiple copies.
I've confirmed this as I had left a Gmail message open on my browser window and opened that same message from Mail: As I was writing the response from Mail, without sending anything, new notifications started to appear over the same message in the browser window, notifying me there were new messages from Myself! So when I started to open those "new replies", I came to the conclusion that as I was typing, a draft was being saved and sent as a new message at the same time, therefore sending a lot of emails until I finished to write the message without knowing...
Hard to explain but hope I've made my point.
Thanks!

Is there an e-mail merge facility, with an attachment, so you can set up multiple e-mails with personalised address attachments ?

I want to send multiple e-mails, one to each recipient, with a standard letter, but with a personalised greeting, attached. I want to set up the e-mail list and send them mout without having to do each e-mail separately. It would be like a mail merge except using e-mails with an attachment.

Mail Merge problem with Word 2007

I recently replaced my laptop and installed Office 2007. When I try to create mailing labels, it is only merging the first three labels and those are not formatted correctly or even consistently. It seems like a compatibility problem, but my
excel document was also created in Excel 2007. I was using Office 2007 on my old laptop and never had this problem.

Julie,
I don't think I'm having the same problem. You'll want to closely examine the links to be sure that you have selected Work phone and Work address, etc. for the merge, then make sure that in your Address Book you've also used the Work identifier for these fields.
I suppose that you know that you can merge one or more records at a time by dragging your Contact Card(s) into the Merge document. That might be a good troubleshooting tool.

HT1430 os7 does not behave on email with notifications ,getting connect to itunes to use push notifcations. will not recognize my wifi password

os7 does not recognize wi fi password
message connect to itunes to use push notifications pops up
I have no idea how to do this step by step
ATT&T told me to do something with icloud
I am clueless

I had the same exact problem with my iPhone 4. I fixed it by putting my phone in restore mode and then kicking it back out of it. I mention 2 ways. The 1st one is something I think should work because it is based around the same concept. The 2nd method is what I used and is a bit more risky but thats the one I used.
1st method (can't confirm that this works but it just might)
The hard reboot. this is done by holding the HOME and POWER button at the same time until the screen goes blank. Then turn it on again using just the POWER button. This will take a while to turn on so don't panic just have some patience.
2nd method (the one I used)
This is how to do it.
BACK UP before attempting this. The restore mode I used is a kind of a bootable mode which is reversable (not sure if it works on other phone, so IPHONE 4 PEOPLE ONLY).
Turn the phone off the normal way. After it is turned off, hold the HOME button and connect the USB. Continue holding the HOME button until connect to itunes logo on the phone shows up and itunes will pop up saying "a device in restore mode..".
Dissconnect the USB. Now hold the POWER button until the phone turns off (it will after 10 seconds or so). Now turn it on again using the POWER button. It might take a while to turn on(don't panic, have patience). With any luck all the notifications should work and you should be able to sign in into imessage and facetime.

IPad mail, multiple email accounts. Can't use one

I have two email accounts with the same provider. I cannot send with my default email address. Wht can I do, if anything, about this?

I've been working on this some more, as I had indicated in my original post his comany's mail server was on an ancient Verizon domain mail server (not their regular verizon.net servers but some old servers they inherited from GTE, POP & SMTP only) which is a service they've been trying to phase out for two years and migrate their existing customer to Google Docs. Needless to say the migration was a disaster and after three 2 hour phone calls failed to resolve getting the migration done I gave up. I've got them migrated to Rackspace email.
I again deleted and recreated his work email on his iPhone 4s and I spent an hour checking and changing and trying different settings. Several times I got the message "iMap server not responding", while the rackspace server is iMap capable I had the settings set to pop and smtp so I'm still unsure why I got that and why after a number of settings changes that had nothing to do with imap the message stopped popping up. The problem that I'm now having is that all settings appear to be correct but I keep getting the message "Cannot get mail the mail server pop.xxx.com is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings". I've gone over the settings more times than I can count and I've re-entered the username and password at least a half dozen times and I keep getting the same error.
Just FYI, I'm using settings that work fine in Outlook 2007 without any problems and it's only his phone that has a problem.
Idea's anyone?

Remote Desktop Connection Times Out With "Can't Connect" From One Specific Computer Only

This is an odd one... I manage several servers from this computer. This particular server, 2012 Essentials, won't allow for remote desktop connections to either the server or attached workstations. I can get into the server's remote web page but when I
attempt a remote desktop connection, it hangs on "Initiating remote connection..." and then times out with the error response that remote desktop can't connect. But... if I attempt the same connections from any other computer, I am able to get in
and utilize remote desktop. Does this mean that there is a certificate issue with the computer unable to connect and if so, how does one remedy this? Or is it some other issue? I've attempted everything within my technical ability to no avail. Any suggestions
are greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me know the RDC version that used in the problematic computer? Was it the same with other computers?
Please temporarily disable firewall and then check if this issue can be solved. Based on your current description, it’s hard to say the root reason of this issue.
So, I suggest that you should check relevant log files and get some clues. It will help us to narrow down and solve your issue.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

E-mail merge with Word and Outlook problem

I'm trying to do an e-mail merge with Office 2011: Word, Excel, and Outlook.
Before you start typing, I've already searched the web, searched the Apple forums, and posted to the Microsoft forum, with no success.
Anyway: I have outlook configured to send and receive mail from a single Gmail account.
Outlook works otherwise to send and receive mail.
Outlook is set, in both Mail and Outlook, to be the default e-mail program.
Everything seems to work fine until the final step, clicking the generate e-mail merge button that should send the mail merge to Outlook. The mail merge emails are supposed to appear in Outlook, but they don't.
If you have figured out how to do this, please let me know.
I would prefer to do this with Mail and Numbers, or Excel and Mail, but that functionality does not exist. I'm sure it would probably work if it did.
I have a standalone mail merge app (MaxBulk Mailer) but I'd prefer to use the database I already have, which is in Excel, rather than have to create two databases, one in Excel, and another in MaxBulk. MaxBulk has some other problems as well and is not a great solution.
Thanks.

Not sure if this is entirely the same issue but.... we just saw a very similar issue resolved here by my recommending that one of our mail merge-using faculty run the Outlook 2011 database rebuild utility (holding down option while starting Outlook 2011 for OSX). Mail Merging from Excel 2011 mailing lists to Outlook 2011 starting working like a charm after that.
The differences with our setup were that we were sending a mail merge via an Exchange Server, not GMail, and that this issue started after upgrading from 10.6 to 10.9 via the App Store. Mail Merging had been working fine in 10.6.
Worth a try? Guard your backups and good luck!

I get an error trying to use Apple Address Book with Word Mail merge - says it cannot open data file?

I am running MS Word 2011, latest Mac OS, and trying to use the Mail Merge option with the Apple Address Book as the data source.
However whenever I select the Apple Address Book as the data source, I get the error "Word was unable to open the data source".
Anybody got any idea why?
Thanks for your help

I am guessing you could have solved this little problem already but perhaps someone else may benefit:
I struggled with the same problem - not being able to use Mac Address Book (i.e. Contacts) with Word 2013 for mac mail-merge (on Mountain Lion and, now, on Mavericks) - with the exact same error message reported by Klausngigtoas above .
So I read lots of techie stuff on forums which passed a nice few hours but didn't help. Finally, with slumped, defeated expression, I gave up.
But I just now (such is life) I accidentally stumbled upon the simple solution:
1. Enter System Preferences and click Security & Privacy.
2. Select the Privacy tab and then on Contacts on the left hand panel.
3. In the right hand panel ("Allow the apps below to access your contacts") just tick the Contacts box.
4. And Voilà! - at least it worked for me - hope it does for you.

SO8: Problems with Mail Merge

The mail merge wizard in SO8 seems much less flexible that in SO7.
In SO7 I could insert any fields from a Calc spreadsheet into the Address locations in a letter: getting rid of blank lines was clumsy but it worked.
SO8 seems to want to force me into using a set of predefined address formats, none of which does exactly what I want it to: my address format (for the UK) involves first name, last name, 5 address lines (the 3rd and 4th of which may be blank) and the postcode.
Will this be enhanced in a future release?

Hello,
I am trying to use cells from different sheets in a spreadsheet for table entries in a mail-merged email document. Although the addresses in the table are correct, only values from the sheet the email addresses are on are appearing in the email document. This is a gradebook appliction--each sheet corresponds to a unit of assignments. I want to email from more than one unit at a time (say the overall grade sheet and the current unit). Thanks in advance for you help.
