Un-installing apple mail add on

Hi
i have some apple mail add-ons that was disabled after my last update to system so from where i can find and remove them as they don't appear in applications folder ?

Many add-ons (like GPGMail) go in your user account Library/Mail/MailBundles and will land up in your user account Library/Mail/MailBundles (Disabled). At least that's where I think they go, I recently cleaned out a broken-by-10.6.6 GPGMail so the path may not be right but it's got "Bundles" and "Disabled" in its name.
One other thing that I have found that I had to do was trash my Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist which was a hassle because of the customization with the toolbar and accounts that gets blown away. The work-around for that, for in the future, is that before you add any mail add-ons, is to make a copy of your user account Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist before you add your add-on. That way, when an update breaks your add-on, you trash the MailBundles (Disabled) folder and the current com.apple.mail.plist and copy the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to the com.apple.mail.

  • Installing Apple Mail folders, message rules, etc... in other computer

    Hi I have been importing all my Outlook Express folders with more than 5K messages, 577 message rules, in my MacBookPro. Now I want to install all this information in my new Mac mini that will be used in the office.

  • Apple Mail - "Add to Aperture" needed.

    An omission in Mail? It would be nice to see an option, when receiving photos or videos to "Add to Aperture" as well as "Add to iPhoto." Seems Aperture 3 is relegated to being the stepchild of iPhoto with this half-hearted integration.

    I myself absolutely don't feel the need to import images that people mail to me, why not just keep them in the Finder?
    A great many serious and pro photographers will agree with you.
    But.
    Now that Aperture 3 is being heavily marketed as an app for folks outgrowing iPhoto then such folks will expect that features they take for granted in iPhoto to be also present in Aperture.
    I think you might be able to make a service with Automator that will do the job for you. Otherwise:
    Aperture menu -> Provide Aperture Feedback

  • Apple Mail Rules dont apply when mail is READ on other devices!

    Hi,
    I use IMAP settings on Apple Mail (v4.5) and also check my emails on the iPhone (iPhone also set up with IMAP). However if i have read an email on the iPhone then when i switch my computer on the incoming Apple Mail Rule that applies to that sender does not seem to work. It keeps the mail within my Inbox and does not transfer the mail/message to the desired folder.
    However, if the same sender sends me an email which i do not read on the iPhone and then switch my Apple Mail ON, then the mail is automatically transferred to the desired folder.
    It looks like the problem is only with READ mail and not UNREAD mail. 
    Is there a fix for this? There seems to be a lot of people having the same issue and was wondering if there is any work around on this?
    Would really appreciate any help from anyone on this.
    Regards,
    Jay
    PS: I recently moved from Outlook 2011 on MAC to Apple Mail as i heard is a far superior mail application and works smoothly. So far everything about Apple Mail has been correct, it is a fantastic app, however this Rule problem is pretty basic and surprised that Apple still has not fixed this.

    Hi Glenn,
    Many thanks for this. Unfortunately i dont have this facility on the server as we are using a simple opensource mail delivery and storage service, so the rules would have to be set up on the computer.
    I was using Outlook 2011 and prior that was using Entourage 2008 and both worked well with the IMAP rules. Nothing was ommitted and everything READ or UNREAD was imported and the rules applied. It's only in Apple Mail that these rules dont seem to work.
    Is there no other work around? No Apple Mail Add-Ins? I see quite a number of people complaining about the same problem and i'm surprise that Apple has not found a solution for this.
    Anyway, thank you soo much for your reply. Much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jay

  • Apple Mail  outgoing message exceeds ISP size limit?

    A short e-mail with a 16MB attachment sent via Apple Mail was rejected because, at 21.9MB, it exceeded the 20MB limit from ISP Verizon.
    Same e-mail and attachment sent from the same computer across the same ISP via G-mail had no problem.
    Does Apple mail add 6MB of overhead to a message?
    How can I fix that?

    If the attachment is a picture or equivalent, it may be being displayed as such in the body of the email message. This could increase the size of the message as sent.
    If that is the kind of attachment, try right-clicking (or Control-clicking) on it in the New Message window; from the contextual menu that appears, select "View as Icon".
    Then test.

  • Where is Apple Mail?

    I just bought a used MacBook, and Apple Mail is not on it. And I don't have the start up disk. How can I download and install Apple Mail?

    So Apple moves in mysterious ways. You can download iTunes and Safari, but not Mail. Hmmmm.
    OK. I accept that. And thank you for the prompt response. I found the install disk, so I'm going to install it now. But I'm now curious about alternatives that you mentioned. Can you recommend a client that you like better than Mail? Never mind mentioning Eudora or any Microsoft product.

  • Verizon DSL install hijacking Safari and Apple Mail

    This is my first post.
    warning: it's long, just trying to include details
    I lost all my bookmarks/folders in Safari -- after a Verizon DSL install-induced browser hi-jacking. See http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/?p=78
    for a story that captures my own experience nearly to the last detail. But, unfortunately, unlike the blog author my bookmarks.plist was not a back up of my extensive bookmark collection -- it was a big zero, like some other responders to that reported.
    I am just your basic user, and couldn't follow the code discussion toward the bottom of the blog, it's over my head. But, although not knowledgable, I am desperate and persistent and rarely accept "can't be done" answers, even if I don't really know what I'm doing and keep getting that same answer.
    I tried all the standard suggestions so far, searching .plists, searching my hd for anything safari, anything bookmark, anything .html. Read many of the discussions on lost bookmarks, tried everything I could understand how to do.
    I stumbled upon in the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari over a thousand files with crazy number/character names that all have suffix ".webbookmark" I probably did have over 1000 bookmarks. When I double click one of those .webbookmark files in that folder, a webpage springs forth in Safari, one of my former bookmarks. Also, click in the finder on one of those ~.webbookmark file and 'get info' and it shows the .html file name and bookmark name for it.
    I believe this is somehow my old bookmark collection, and not a history cache, for various reasons: upon clicking, I recognize the webpage that appears and I know bookmarked anywhere from a few months ago, as well as some oldies, but have not visited recently. Random spot checking seems like sites I recently visited but did not bookmark are not showing up.
    Would not be fun to double click every one of the 1000+ .webbookmark files in the metadata/Safari to open the page it represents and then "add bookmark" in Safari, to restore my bookmarks. Is there some automatic way of doing that? Am I not understanding the metadata folders enough and have tricked myself into believing they are my real bookmarks and not history or useless stuff. It's totally possible my ignorant forays and fleeting glimpses (but not, out of the corner of my eye....) are fool's gold.
    Can someone let me know whether this is worth pursuing, and if so, how, and if so how so in plain terms because of my limited knowledge and floundering around without understanding what I'm doing and what it means.
    I know, I know, I should have backed up before I did the *&^@! install, I should back up before I do anything, and do it regularly anyway. Don't laugh too hard now, but get this, when I did back up before, I didn't know what I was doing and just backed up "documents" folder (see, told you I was ignorant; but, older and wiser now...) But I had no idea something like connecting DSL would screw up my browser (and my apple mail -- that's a different awful story too, still unresolved) and who knows what else.
    No, I have not used another browser since early 2005, and wasn't as 'bookmark crazy' then as I've been the last few years (or my life wasn't as complicated then and I didn't need to bookmark a lot of important, and I mean important, as well as obscure sites, that I don't need on a daily basis, but do need, but don't want to search through thousands of google hits to find the right one, when I realize I need it again...). Yes, sure, i will salvage what I can from IE and Netscape although they're way incomplete and frozen in time of simpler days.
    A thousand curses upon evil Verizon DSL provider who thinks browser/mail/etc. hi-jacking is fun and smart PR. After this disaster, do they really think I'm enthusiastically telling everyone to use them?
    I will appreciate any help. (and it's understood if the real answer is "can't be done;" worth trying here though) Just point me to the right discussion if this has already been attended to.
    Thanks!

    Hi Starman and Rachel, many thanks for replying, although I was praying someone was going to hand me the magic bullet! Nonetheless, it was useful you confirmed my suspicion that the mysterious metadata cache I stumbled upon while floundering around in desperation, did have some bookmark information for me, but also, unfortunately, that there was no quick and easy way to transform it back into a bookmark list, or know whether it really has what I need. Rats. Seemed worth asking the experts though, and it was.
    Starman -- yes, in 2005 I used IE and Netscape, so I was able to salvage bookmarks from there, but unfortunately since 2005 my life became extremely complicated and the most important bookmarks are from that lost window of time. (Why didn't Verizon trash those browsers and bookmarks too, or instead of, Safari? Figures. They somehow just knew how to go straight for the jugular.)
    Rachel, thanks for the suggestion about using BBEdit, etc., but I'm too amateur to know what those are or how to use them, but if I did, it didn't sound like it would necessarily be easy or a guaranteed success.
    The IT helpdesk at the university I work for mulled it over and they too told me basically what you two did -- no obvious solution; some custom scripting might be able to do something, but that was beyond the scope of their help services.
    So... looks like I am just going to have to open that metadata cache folder and start clicking and bookmarking if I want to find out if it is even worth doing and restores the most important bookmarks from the past 2 years. Maybe do 20 a day or something when I'm brain dead anyway after work. If not, there's always plan B -- spending a lot of time googling to find lots of little obscure needles in thousands of haystacks.
    Such is life.
    I haven't had the strength yet to deal with what happened to my AppleMail and have resorted to using webmail. Time to search the Mail discussion groups. I've had a lot of Mail problems since I started using it 2 yrs ago and the thought of disentangling another Mail problem makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It's even more infuriating when the problem isn't even related to something kooky in Mail, or something crazy I brought on myself, it is sheerly the result of Verizon's malicious activities.
    Thanks again for your help, it is wonderful when people freely and altruistically donate their time to share their knowledge, and their brainpower, to help each other.

  • Can't add Gmail (POP) accounts to Apple Mail

    I noticed a day before the 10.5.7 update that my existing gmail accounts in Mail suddenly stopped retrieving mail, giving "a server not responding" message. So I delete the accounts and try to add again. And again, pop server not responding. This was all on 10.5.6 mind you, and yes all my settings are correct under google settings.
    10.5.7 was released and I seen in the notes that there was a problem with gmail and Apple Mail in the past (no problems for me but I only used POP). So, like always, I repair disk permissions, download the full combo update and install. After install, like always, I repair disk permissions again before doing anything else.
    Same thing. Can't add my POP gmail accounts to Apple Mail. POP server not responding

    I have just experienced the same issue with a gmail account I setup in Mail when I bought my first Macbook 2 years ago. I've never had any problems with the gmail POP server before, until last night July 26th 09. Then suddenly a couple of minutes after successfully retrieving the emails as usual, it tried again and failed, asking for the password. I entered the password, but still came back saying POP server not responding.
    I did some updates yesterday, but nothing more than the one for the pro apps. I'm completely up to date with all Leopard updates. Also I've double checked that all is working with my gmail account and settings; no change in settings or password were made.
    Do I need to delete the account in Mail and recreate it from scratch, then, is that the only answer when this error seems to occur out of the blue?

  • Apple Mail Not Showing Inbox Unread Count on Dock after installing Mavericks

    After installing Mavericks, my Apple Mail (connected to my work's Gmail account) stopped showing the Inbox's unread count on the dock. I switched it to "all mailboxes" to see if that would make a difference, and the dock shows 7 unread emails when there are actually none. When I switch it back to "Inbox" unread counts, it shows nothing. I've waited 15 minutes after receiving an email to see if it will show an unread message in the dock, but it does not. Does anyone have a fix for this?
    Thank you!

    Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:  
    mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop 
    This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop.  An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later).  Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer. 
    After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
    This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
    While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.

  • Apple Mail: How do I add contacts to address book?

    In the Apple Mail program, there is an option to add sender to address book. But when I do that, it just adds the sender to my address book, oftentimes without a name associated to the contact. So that contact could easily get lost.
    I'd like to be able to add a sender from Apple Mail, then, at a later point, go to the address book and review who I've added, and edit their information.
    Is there a way to add the sender to the address book, and have that contact added to a default folder within address book. That way I could later go back and review a bunch of contacts I've added at the same time. Thanks.

    Adding an address to Address Book opens Address Book so that you can edit the card before saving it.  Is that not happening for you, or is that happening but you want to ignore it until you're ready to go add other information?
    If the latter, you could always create a smart group in Address Book with the criteria "Name" "is not set".  Then just go in now and then and add names to everything in that group.  Of course, the problem with this technique is you may have to go back and find that address in Mail and refresh your memory as to who it belongs to.  It would probably be quicker, overall, to just add the name at the time you're adding the contact.

  • How do i add a LinkedIn badge to Apple Mail signature

    Does someone know how to add popular badges (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) to Apple Mail signatures.  Just badge icon with a hyperlink to my profile.

    Actually I just figured it out.  Within your public profile on LinkedIn is an area for LinkedIn badges on right side.  Click there and it will display several types of badges.  Right click on the badge you want to use and do a "save as" to desktop. 
    Now go into Mail preferences, signatures.  Copy and paste the icon you've saved to your desktop wherever you would like the badge to display within your signature.  Then go to Edit on top menu and select "add link".  This will open a box where you need to fill in your LinkedIn address that displays right below your profile photo.  Save this.
    This will turn the badge into a hyperlink that will connect to your LinkedIn Profile.  To test it, create a new email using this signature and do a test send.  When you receive the test email click on the badge to confirm that it takes you to your LinkedIn Profile.
    Good luck!

  • Apple Mail: What's the best way to repair existing install?

    I have a new G5 Intel iMac 24". Just recently (within the last couple of days) Mail has been freezing and not doing any of the most basic things (reply, etc).
    The only thing I've done to the computer is run the latest version of OnyX.
    So I'm wondering: can I "repair" the current install of Mail by using Pacifist and re-installing Mail? And if I do that, will I lose all my preferences, accounts, emails, etc.?
    Or have I just stuffed things up with OnyX, and should I hit the "go back to default settings" and see if that fixes it?
    I'm currently using Entourage for my email and it works flawlessly - I switched to that yesterday and imported all the settings and accounts, etc., from Apple Mail.

    Hi Dexter.
    The exact problem is Apple Mail freezes or "hangs" from
    the moment it's launched.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running) and post back with your observations:
    1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
    2. With no Internet connection.
