What happened to the wheel in Mail?

The little rotating indicator wheel which used to be a feature of "Mail" has gone. It was so very useful when you have a slow connection and without it I can not see whether The Mail app is attempting to send mail or not. Neither can I see when the app is attempting to receive incoming mail and on which of my accounts? It has also disappeared from "classic view" which means that the "classic view is not actually the classic view"!
Is there a way to get my wheel back? Reinventing the wheel would have been OK but removing it makes no sense!

Yup, it's gone. I miss it, too. And so do a lot others, there are already several threads here. But none of us has managed to bring it back. Feedback -> Apple.

    What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
    I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

  • What happened to the "show" option in mail settings (ipad2)?

    WWhat happened to the "show" options in mail settings (ipad2 8.1.1)?

    Nothing at all.
    It still works the same way for me as it always did. It might help if you specified which email provider you use - for instance I believe that Gmail has its own way of deleting/archiving emails so you need to be more specific than ..."what happened to the trash option in the new iOS mail".

  • Running latest version on OS X and mail.  What happened to the icon labeled "not junk?"  Is there any way to brink it back?

    Running latest version on OS X and mail.  What happened to the icon labeled "not junk?"  Is there any way to bring it back?  Thanks in advance!

    Make sure your Junk Mail settings are properly set up, right now neither of those messages are marked as Junk Mail.  When Mail identifies an item as Junk Mail or you manually do, it will add the text "Mail thinks this message is Junk Mail" or "You marked this message as Junk Mail" to the message.  Right now this just looks like regular SPAM that you might get that hasn't been properly identified as Junk Mail or when Junk Mail Filtering is no enabled.  Remember Mail needs to learn what is and is not Junk Mail over time, so if you have recently reset your mail settings through a reinstall or the like, it may still be learning.
    1.  Do you have a Junk folder (system created) as one of your mailboxes?  If there is none, it means that Junk Mail filtering is not enabled or has been enabled but the system has yet to identify any mail as Junk.
    2.  If you do have a Junk folder, try dragging a piece of mail into the folder to see if the banner I am referring to appears.  It should.  You should be able to unmark the mail and drag it it back in your inbox.
    3.  If you manually mark the mail as Junk, does it move into the Junk folder and have the banner I am referring to?  It should.
    4.  If any of the above is not happening, first check your mail settings using the guides below:
    Mail (Yosemite): Reduce junk mail in your inbox
    Mail (Yosemite): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly
    If all seems correct and it's still not working right, try rebuilding your mailbox:
    Mail (Yosemite): Rebuild mailboxes
    If none of these help you, please post back and we'll try something else.  Oh, and clear out your Previous Recipients window of any unwanted email addresses.  Anything listed in there is usually ignored by the Junk Mail filters.

  • What happened to the mail format ? This didnt need changing!

    what happened to the mail format ? This didnt need changing!
    Is there a way to go back to 10.6.8 format .Im sick of reteaching myself new ****
    I didnt need every time apple runs a new os!
    <Edited by Host>

    More information would be helpful. What version of the OS are you running? What about the new layout don't you like? Try Mail/Preferences/Viewing and check use classic layout to see if that is what you want.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails?  Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning??  I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got

    What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails?  Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning??  I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got a big backlog. 

    It will not automatically delete any emails; you will need to do that. You may suffer performance  issues in Mail  if you let your mailboxes become too bloated. And, aside from Mail, the files take up a lot of room are photos, videos, and music, so you might want to watch those - every once in a while, check how much hard drive space you have and make sure you empty the trash regularly. Checking your hard drive space: highlight your Macintosh HD icon on the desktop; hit Command  + I and check the total capacity, and how much is left.

  • What happened to the icon of the "house"? After searching the web or checking my e-mail I could alway click on the house to return to my home page. Now I have to keep clicking the back arrow or enter my home page on my google search.

    The home button has by default moved to the right hand edge of the navigation toolbar. You can move it back by right-clicking on a toolbar, choose customize to open the customize toolbar window, then with that window on display you can drag and drop icons to move them.
    If the home icon is not at the right end of the navigation toolbar, use the procedures in the following link to restore it - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

  • What happened to the whoosh sound on my outgoing mail?

    What happened to the whoosh sound onmy outgoing mail?

    Dear Scotch27:
    i am so sorry it did not work for you!  I know, it is really really frustrating, as i have been having this problem for many months!  I have not gotten Mountain Lion yet...maybe i won't!  LOL!
    btw, i got this reply from another poster, on a similar forum, so i copied it here to see if it would work for you...it didn't for me, but it did, for many other posters:
    Go to applications/utilities and run Audio Midi Setup.  Click the Builtin output link in the left pane click the down arrow next to the right-mast element after "Format" and change to something else, then back to what you originally had there.  All pent-up sounds will come rushing through your speakers and you'll be OK with Mail sounds until it happens again.  This worked for me in OS X 10.7 Lion; the problem seems to have been fixed in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  Good luck!
    this post was from Chazcone, in a discussion question: "Re: "New Message" sound not playing in mail 5"....i really hope it works for you!  i think it is ridiculous, that this is obviously a KNOWN bug somewhere within apple mail (icloud?), but no one has seriously looked into it, and/or fixed it, most especially in the new ML!!!  let me know what happens, and i will pass along anything else i find to you re: this issue....good luck, and so sorry my "solution" didn't work for you!

  • What happened to toDo's in Mail

    What happened to ToDo's in mail? I used to be able to create a ToDo from a mail message I have not found a way to do that with the upgrade to Lion.

    Hi, NO_PC.  I missed the to-do box on Mail also, but I played with Mail and iCal till I found how to do it.  I checked with Apple Express to be sure this was the way to do it.
    In Mail, mouse over the header until you see the grab hand.  Drag it to iCal and drop it into the events column.  Then, grab the event and drop it in the Reminders column.  It will make a reminder but careful! cuz both event and reminder will be in focus.  If you delete the event, you'll delete the reminder too unless you first click in white space (or esc) to remove focus.  Then click on the event and delete.
    Open the reminder and you'll see the URL box says "Show in Mail" so you can refer back to the original email.  If you "archive" the message it'll just stay in the archive mailbox till you're done with it.
    I explained this in another section, if you want to read that (at the bottom):

    No PCs.  Bad PCs!  Good luck, DeAnne
