Using Mail with CaCert certificate won't work

Hello everybody!
I have a problem, I can't resolve right now. I have a CaCert.org certificate for my emails. I importetd it to my keyring, where it shows up and is marked as trusted. So no problem till this point.
Now, when I start Mail and want to write a new mail, I don't get the buttons to sign or to encrypt emails.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Huh. Sascha, with apologies, I think this is a case of wanting to answer the question I wanted to ask, not the question you actually asked.
For signing and encrypting, you need to have imported your personal certificate, and its corresponding private key, into your keychain. If you have done so, it will show up, in the Keychain app under My Certificates and you should be able to verify it as being correctly trusted (by you). This should be in the login keychain.
Once this is confirmed, you should be able to verify that, when writing a new email, the encrypt and sign buttons appear towards the right of the composition window, right above the composition text:
This all happens automatically, provided the "From" address for this account is the same as that recorded in your certificate. This is another point you should double-check.
Finally, note that you can encrypt only to recipients for whom you have a trusted certificate, as recorded in the "Certificates" section of your login keychain.
Now, I would assume there is a problem with the first part: there being your certificate and private key in the keychain, with the appropriate trust. If you can indicate what seems to be mismatched, we can continue the conversation to help drive a resolution.
Good luck!

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1...I used to be able to drag and drop contact addresses from my address book to an e-mail header. Now I have to type all the names and can't drag and drop. Is there a setting for this? Thanks!

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1. I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that. I now have to type each name in. Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software? Thanks for any info!

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

How to use Mail with Kerberos?

I am a Mac user in a mostly Windows office which uses an Exchange Mail Server 2003 for mail. Currently I connect to our mail server using Mail's Password Authentication. This works well, but our IT manager is concerned that this method sends the password in the clear, and would like to have me connect using Kerberos. But when I try using Kerberos (I've tried both version 4 and version 5 in Mail), Mail will not send. It waits a long time, then I get a drop down message saying "Cannot send message using the server ......"
There are others in our office using Windows laptops who are able to send mail using Kerberos, so it should work on our server.
Is there something wrong with Mail's use of Kerberos?
What do I need to change? (I'm using Mail Version 2.0.7 (746.2/749.3) with OS X 10.4.6.)
Thanks.

It doesn't seem anyone here knows anything about Kerberos? Any suggestions where I might post my question and find an answer?

In using mail with my mackbook air with maverick, to open a message takes time as if the message is downloaded & its same every time I want to open the message from inbox.

WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
Replying to Toad-Hall:
I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

Using mail with hotmail

how do i use mail with my msn hotmail account (http)
Thanks!

You need to install a httpmail plugin for the Mail.app which adds the httpmail protocol and account type to choose from when creating the account which can be downloaded here.

Apple TV2 airplay audio (via Airport Express) works well with music, but won't work with any video.

I have an ATV2 and Airport Express connected to speakers all connected to the same network. It all works with music, but won't work with any video audio. In my ATV's settings I've selected my AirPort Express speakers. It works for music, why not everything else? Is there a fix or work around?

Netflix is first on that list...What I mean is, if there is a feature that allows for a wireless audio connection to the Apple TV, why wouldn't the developer allow it. To keep me from enjoying a more convient connection? I can have the same listening experience on a wired connection...

Wherever you saved it. Likely, Documents folder.

Xcode continuous integration, Subversion and self-signed certificate won't work altogether.

Hi!
I've installed on MacMini Maverick OS with OSX Server.

Thanks in advance.

Did anyone find a way around this? I have the exact same error and tried the exact same solution.
The Xcode 5 release notes described a problem that sounds similar.
Communicating with a remote SVN repository over HTTPS can fail with an error similar to “Error validating server certificate for server name.” Edit the file /Library/Server/Xcode/Config/xcsbuildd.plist and change the TrustSelfSignedSSLCertificates key from false to true. Then, from a Terminal window, run: sudo killall xcsbuildd. 14639890

I haven't found a similar fix for Xcode 6 though.

Using mail with cable internet connection

I just got a cable modem and now my .mail application doesn't work –– won't send or retrieve emails. does anyone know how to deal with this? i'd really appreciate the help. many thanks -- matthew

yes, the att.net account is a POP. i intend to keep up my att subscription, even with the extra cost, because this isn't a good time to change my email address.
i can access my email through the att home page, but i'd much rather use .mail since it has tools that i use all the time.
many thanks

My Account Company Mail with Microsoft exchange doesn"t work

Just inform that I have succeed setting mail for YAHOO, GMAIL etc with these Indosatm2.
I'm trying to connect my company email account with my iPad Wifi+3G with Indosatm2 broadband as a internet data provider.
So far I've been unsuccessful.
This is what I've done:
Settings->mail,contacts,calendars->add account->
STEP 1
** Fill email account -> Domain -> User Name --> Password -> (SSL=On)
** Ipad is VERIFYING and need to fill the SERVER :..... (I fill with the correct server name as I hv applied to name server for the Blackberry Setting)
** Result : EXCHANGE ACCOUNT Unable to verify Account
After that didn't work I clicked "OTHER" after clicking add account and filled in the info there but again nothing happened and the account was not added.
I have no idea if I should choose Microsoft exchange or Other when trying to add an account or what to put as the
** outgoing mail server as : smtp.indosat.net.id ( As the provider server)
** incoming mail server as : ( my company server )
( Another information : Its indicate that my COMPANY CERTIFICATE is unverified)
I hv copy and install through yahoo mail received the certificate to my personal accepted.
I really appreciate if some body may hv a typical experienced

Dear Dave, so far thank you for you last advised.
Now, I have connect to my company mail account. It was I hv done :
I choose for "Other account to my company account", due to there is no works using Microsoft exchange as provided by Ipad Setting.
** open the microsoft outlook
** tool /then/ account setting /then/ Microsoft exchange /then/ more setting / then/ connection
** outlook anywhere click the box /then/ click Exchange proxy setting /then/
** making blank on check box "connect using SSL
** fill on the http://. (www.company.com)
Continued go to iPad to sett the account email company, choose the OTHER MAIL
Fill the user name as the company and password mail and incoming server.
Fill the out going mail as the user name, password, and server provided.
Finish.
BUT now my out going mail still un send..... ( I will ask to provider to give the exact SERVER NAME )
AT LEAST MY COMPANY MAIL WAS COMING on IPAD.
For OUT GOING I will check against later.
ANY BODY could give the advised as per I hv done above...

Using Mail with both pop and imap accounts

I have a Q to better understand how the Mail app. works in Lion so there is better coordination among my devices and mail = I'd like to lay out how it is now set up and see whether or not I'm right about how to handle them - and how to do things better.
1. I have a .mac account and no problems with it = if I read and delete on iPhone it deletes off iPad and computer fine.
2. I have an email account that is an IMAP account but at another host [I use Mail to get email from it] - so what I think happens is that it's sort of the same thing but operating on that other host as an IMAP so that the same thing happens more or less - email comes in on all 3 devices and when I delete from one it deletes from others = but maybe not as fast because it's going thru the Mail intermediary. My need/wish is to use one email program [Mail] to get all my mail and that's why this and others all go thru Mail.
3. I have a 3rd account that is a POP account and can't be made IMAP because of the nature of the plan/host - in that I've noticed that I'll have 100 messages on my main computer and delete 75 of them but the 100 are still left on the iPhone and iPad = so far I don't do much about it but I hope/assume I'm right to think that if I know I've read and dealt with the 100 messages that if I want to I can just delete them all quickly off the iPhone or iPad...I'm not sure how to handle a Pop account to minimize all the hassle.
Does this seem like the right way to go or is there a better way to manage these 3 diff. accounts ??? I noticed some of the problem when I checked Mail on my iPad and saw there were loads of old emails 'unread' on it that I had dealt with on my computer so I knew things were out of whack.
Last thought = I do go to Synchronize all Accounts from time to time but really don't notice it makes a difference but maybe I don't understand tht either.
thanks much

Okay, it just fixed itself without me doing anything, or even quitting the program again. It still seems like a bug.

Using Mail with GMAIL (Pop)

Has anyone experienced the following issue? I have set up my two gmail accounts to work with Mail on my new MacBook and for some reason the Mail program is not receiving all the mail. I know I am getting more mail than what is showing up because GMAIL is also set up to work with my blackberry. My BBerry will jingle with a new email message and then I'll sit there and wait for Mail to receive the message and it will never arrive. I have Gmail set up to work with Outlook on my Dell PC and it is working fine. For some reason all the bloody messages are not making it to my inbox on the MacBook and I can't think what it is. I'm using PoP on the Gmail end because the Imap seemed to slow.

Okay, things are progressing somewhat. Mail has now imported my messages on from my primary account and seems to be okay (using IMAP). I decided to add my secondary gmail account that I use for work related messages and that (also using IMAP) doesn't seem to be working so smoothly. So far Mail has crashed 3 times and had to "re-import" all 13,000+ of my messages. I have no idea why. Also, any mail sent to the second gmail account is not showing up in the primary inbox and isn't giving me a "new mail" notification via the red number that shows up in the top right hand corner of the postage stamp. Any ideas?

Mail 2.1.3 won't work

I'm totally exhausted trying to figure out this problem... Every few weeks, my Mail 2.1.3 fails... I can receive emails, but when I go to push SEND or REPLY or FORWARD... nothing happens. If I type, it starts overlapping and mixing up the words, like it's possessed! I've used ONYX to try to get things working again. I've also gone to Utilities and Disk Utility and deleted the Preference and restarted, to no avail. Also, if I am using Safari now, I can't type and it goes bonkers. I've had to go to our lone PC in the building so I could write this. I've spent 5 hours working on this so far today... H-E-L-P!!!!!! Thank you.

Thanks for your questions. Actually, I did two Archive and Installs and one Erase and Install. In every instance by the time I got the OS up to 10.4.11 (via one combined update) things started acting funky. iPhoto wouldn't work — to get it running required an overwrite install via iLife 05, Appleworks 6 won't open and, as mentioned Mail never worked from the get-go.
I have tried reinstalling only Mail. But as yet no luck getting it to work.
I have been trolling around the forums and have noted a lot of problems regarding Mail in 10.4. When I have time, I will try some of the simpler, albeit arcance, suggested solutions.

Using Mail with SBC Yahoo!

I have an account with SBC Yahoo that I know for sure is a POP mail server because I can use it with Outlook on my PC. My question is, what do I need to put in which field to use it with mail? Anyone use SBC Yahoo! with mail? Would you recomend mail or should I use a different program?

I hope this helps:
1) Start OSX Mail. The Accounts window will open automatically.
2) Select POP for the Account Type and enter a name for this account in the Description field. Enter your full email address in the Email Address field, and in the Full Name field, type your name the way you would like people to see it when they get email from you.
3) Enter pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com in the Incoming Mail Server field. In the User Name field, enter your full email address and type your password in the Password field. Click the Options button to open the SMTP Server Options window.
4) Select Password from the Authentication pulldown. Enter your full email address in the User Name field and your password in the Password field. Click OK to close the SMTP Server Options window and then click OK again to close the Accounts window.
Your mail should now be setup!

Just wondering how you import your gmail account so that you can use it with the mail on the bottom task bar. Thanks, Mel

Melanie,
Welcome to the Discussions.
If you click on Help in the Gmail pages in your Browser, you will find numerous subjects, one of which is POP access. In that resulting page you will find specific instructions for various types of mail clients, one of which is Apple Mail.
