What's with the Mail application?

Again, I'm having problems with Mail.
Today it deleted my Sent messages, even though my deletion setting is "never".
And, I'm still getting numerous Incoming Messages...10,499 now!
Help!

seventy one,
Just to confuse the issue even more...
When I choose the Receive option I get this message..."You are receiving email notifications for this discussion. To unsubscribe, click "Stop email notifications" below."
And when I select the Stop option I get..."You have stopped receiving email notifications for this discussion. To subscribe to new messages via email, click "Receive email notifications" below."
Did Apple change it, or add the messages?
My brain hurts...

Using hotmail with the mail application

I would really like to use the mail program with my hotmail account, I tried an application that someone suggested but it did not work. Does anyone know of any programs that will allow me to use my hotmail in the mail application?

You're showing as running a Windows machine.
I would suggest using Google Mail. You can either set up GM to forward your messages, or configure Mail's POP3 account settings and have them brought in when you do a 'get mail'.

TS4507 Problems with the mail application: I quit and then it is still clean inbox. do you have another solution?

I have tried to solve the mailbox problem with exchange.
It all works fine with iPhone and iPad.
Can anyone in Apple solve these problems?

First this is not Apple. This is a user forum. We are all users like yourself helping each other. Your description of your issue is very vague and incomplete. What exactly is the problem?

I open by default .gif files with the Mail application.

But every time I try to open one, it asks me to confirm because it says it was downloaded from the internet.
How can I remove that check?
Thanks,
Roberto

It is a built-in security feature in Mac OSX. Removing it may not be a good idea.
But there is a terminal command to do that, incase you want to reverse, note down the command.
Look for "Permanantly disable the warning system" in this article.
I have never tried this and not recommending.

Is there a way with the mail application on apple to recall emails

I am having trouble finding a way to recall sent emails, I could do this on my previous PC but now I am on apple I don't seem to be able to find a way to do this, is there a way or does apple just not do this

I wish, but I have no knowledge of this function, if someone has a way to do this...I'm all ears.

What is it with the application "mail" and the Yahoo mail servers that is in conflict all the time. We have reconfigured the settings and done everything possible and the "mail" application is still conflicted.... Running Lion 10.7.4

I know it is a pretty long question and am unsure if it can be answered, but have had just a lot of trouble with the Yahoo mail servers... Where could a man go and get the mail application, I can not find it in the app store. It is my thought maybe to just replace the app I have with another mail application and reconfigure everything and go from there. But I do not know where the mail application can be found.

See this blog posting for Yahoo mail set-up details for the Apple Mail.app tool.

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

I would like to have an email account that is password-protected that I can access on my Mac, Iphone and Ipad, separate from the Mail application, with an alert button that indicates unread messages

Try a search... I'm sure if you put forth a little effort you can find a solution that will work for you.

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all mail, whether sent or received, as 5th (of whatever month it is). The computer clock is working, so it's not that. And the time seems to be right. I have no problem with my MacBook. Can anyone help, please?

The computer clock is fine. I have no problem with my MacBook - just with the I-Mac. Any ideas, please?

I set up iCloud on my iMac with OS version 10.6.8 but I'm not able to have the icon show on my Dock with the other application icons. What do I do?

I set up iCloud on my iMac with OS version 10.6.8 but I'm not able to have the iCloud icon show in my Dock with the other application icons. What can I do? Is it because iCloud is not part of the 10.6.8 version? I clicked System Preferences and I saw MobileMe and no iCloud.

Thanks for your reply! Would my IMac be able to support the Mavericks (10.9) considering that I bought it in June 2011? Not sure if that even matters.

Hi, how are you seeing these eMails if the account is removed?

Help with restoring mail application on the dock

I accidentally threw the mail application in the trash and permanently deleted it. How do I restore this? I have already downloaded the update for OSX 10.4.4.
If anyone can tell me how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Do you mean the application or the dock icon? The dock icon is just a shortcut and mail should still be in your applications folder, if that's what you trashed. Just launch it by double clicking, then click the icon and choose Keep in Dock from the menu.

Try a hard reset and go from there.
