TS3276 OS X 10.7.4 Mail

I've just load Lion and Mail will not let me add sender to the address panel. I have Admin permission.
There's no help in Mail Help or at Apple's site. No even info. if you search "address panel" ????
any ideas.

I have a friend with a ymail account with similar problem on Lion.  So I created a new ymail account for myself, and set about testing it in Snow Leopard.  It is not working very long until it goes into the PW prompt business.
From what I can read, it is simply that yahoo has made a poor implementation of IMAP, Lion and Snow Leopard default to set the account up as IMAP (and that is the protocol my friend and most people prefer), and something about the frequent checking by Mail to tell Yahoo it is there -- are you? is triggering a loss of the password.  I suspect it is at that point a deliberate action because the server has concluded, erroneously, that something is suspicious.
Btw, my friend's iPad and iPhone get along just fine with the server, but I did not add to my iOS devices so as to not introduce any conflict cause.
It is not a Mail problem, but one of Yahoo's making.  Some people have not been able to get them to admit they offer IMAP, btw.  I can test it in Lion anytime, but have not seen reason to do that considering what is happening in Snow Leopard.

    it will not let me open a new mail screen. The mail is working (all green dots) I just hear a faint beep.....please help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.

  • TS3276 It would seem that my Mail password is not my Apple ID password.  I thought they would all be the same.  I have no idea what my Mail password is and want to change it but can't as I do not know how to reset the Mail password without having my old o

    I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail.  I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails.  I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?).  How do I change my Mail password without having my old one?  Are there some security questions I can answer to do this?  Heeeeelp please.

    Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
    Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
    Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
    Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
    Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

  • TS3276 Hi.  Just started using Mac Mail on a macbookpro v10.6.8.  I tried to send a message with two excel (for mac) files attached.  One attached as a file, one inserted all the text into the message body.  Help?

    Just started using my Mac Mail program instead of web mail.  When I went to attach two pdf files, one attached as a file, the other inserted all the text into the body of the email message.  How do I get it to attach both pdf's as files?

    I think you're confusing two different things. If you attached PDF files and one of them displayed the PDF icon in the message window, that means it was more than one page. If you saw what appeared to be the actual document for the other PDF file, that means it's only one page and it's normal for it to display that way.
    However, I seem to recall there may (or should) be a button at the bottom-right of the message window that allows you to display those files as icons, even if they're one page. If not, there's a third-party addition you can use to add that feature:

  • TS3276 How do I stop the mail program from attempting to send an email with a probably corrupt address?

    My "Postmaster" keeps attempting to send an email with one or two corrupt email addresses, or non existent address and I do not know which one it is.  How do I stop it attempting further deliveries?

    I don't know for sure this is what will work, but set up separate SMTP servers for each Gmail account, using your specific logins for each.
    On the Account page in Preferences, Account Information, select Edit SMTP Server List from the Outgoing mail Server (smtp) popup menu.
    Copy the current one for Gmail and edit it to use the necessary login information.
    For each account, select the desired smtp server and set the checkbox to only use that server.
    When you reply or compose a new message, make sure From indicates the correct account.

  • TS3276 Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, Mail does not let me send e-mails using Comcast mail server.  Why?

    Why is this?  Comcast's SMTP outgoing mail server is set for my e-mai account but I keep getting an Apple error dialog saying the server can't be used.

    I solved it by going to Comcast's website which had slightly different instructions for setting up an e-mail account than it did 4 years ago when I first set it up.  Comcast's SMTP server always worked notwithstanding many Mac OS and Mail upgrades over those 4 years.  Apparently, with my upgrade to Mountain Lion, something got sideways.
    After following the Comcast instructions, the Comcast SMTP outgoing server now works just fine, as before.

  • TS3276 I have snow leopard: my mail changed so I now have to double click to read a message.Want it back so can preview before open.

    I want to get mail back like before: I could single click to read before fully opening inbox message. Now have to doubel click. Also the message appears before who it is from. How do I switch columns back whre want them in order of From/message/date received. Also  "color" markings changed. It stays bold black until I double click not just single.

    Hopefully this helps. And hopefully I haven't misunderstood your question. For the issue of the location of the various headings (From, Subject, Date, etc...) you can simply grab the particular title bar and move them to the location of your choosing.

  • TS3276 can i recall messages in mail?

    Is there any way to recall messages sent from the icloud e-mail account?

    Can't do it in the same window (folder).
    Here's what you can do.
    Make a new mailbox (folder) in the sidebar by selecting "New Mailbox..." from the Mailbox menu. Name it something appropriate.
    Do your first sort by date in the regular folder you use. Then select all of the ones of the appropriate date and move them into the new folder (drag and drop). In the new folder, sort by attachment.
    Once done, you can move the subset back into the regular folder.

  • TS3276 changing gmail password in Apple mail

    I would like to change my gmail password in Apple mail. I was able to chage the gmail password on the goggle web site but it the same password was not accepted in Apple Mail.

    Problem solved, I deleted the 2 step verification in google and my password was accepted in Apple mail.
    NOW
    When I installed the last mailbox, I noted a lot of "Mail Activity" and several hundred messages were incoming. In my mailboxes, I see the names of the mailboxes but there is no numbers next to them indicating the number of emails in the box. I also see that there are about 200 junk emails, several of then are not junk
    Any suggestions. Hopefully the screen shot comes thru
