When sending/receiving Mail seems to handl more mails than my traffic

When I press "Get Mail", or when I send a mail, the send/receive activity shows in the lower left corner of the screen.
What makes me wonder is the fact that sometimes "mail activity" for instance says: "getting x mails of 10" although I only receive say, 6 mails in my inbox.
And the same thing happens the other way around. When I send one email, mail-activity could say: "sending 2 of 2 mails" although I am only sending one mail!
Does anybody have an idea as to why this odd behaviour occurs?

I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I'm sending out viruses.
Is this a common issue?
Has this been solved?

When sending/receiving an iMessage (from gmail address) how can I then receive or access my iMessages on my actual gmail account/inbox?

When sending/receiving an iMessage (from gmail address) how can I then receive or access my iMessages on my actual gmail account/inbox?

Hi,
The Messages app can join 5 different services.
The "iChat Originals" that include AIM, Jabber and Yahoo (although they were added at different times to the app)
The Bonjour account that has been present for LAN based Mac to Mac chat and lastly the iMessages account in the Messages app that iChat has become.
Google email IDs can be used as a Jabber ID in Messages as Google run a Jabber server.
As the Google server does not follow conventional naming formatting it has it's own Add option in Messages.
Effectively all the services are separate.
Any email used as an Apple ID can be the iMessages account.
Of course this may be a Google one like you have that can also be used as Jabber/GoogleTalk ID or it may be an Apple issued ID (@mac.com @me.com or @icloud.com) that will also work as a Valid AIM Screen Name.
It may be that someone has their Yahoo email as their Apple ID.

Getting errors when sending/receiving email

Hi there I have only just updated to Windows 10 from 8.1 nd am able to receive mails On outlook 2013 but continually get the following error message
Task '[email protected] - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC13) : 'Cannot connect to the network. Verify your network connection or modem.' I have tried everything but cant get it fixed can someone help Thanks Bryan

Same thing here Fresh install of windows 10 and Outlook 2013 Receiving emails but getting the same error message when sending and emails stuck in Outbox. Tried all available options in account settings but it doesnt make any difference. Strangley enough though when initially setting up the mail account it sends its test email no problems. Installed Outlook 2010 to see if there was any difference but the same thing happens.

Mail hangs when it receives a report that an e-mail could not be delivered.

Hi Guys :o),
One bug which is really bugging me is that every time I receive a bounced e-mail report, with a subject line containing words to the effect of:
"Undeliverable. Return to sender."
or:
"The message could not be delivered."
Mail is unable to pull any subsequent e-mails down from the POP server.
So I junk the report, and then I delete it.
However, lo and behold, the errant e-mail is INSTANTLY back in my Inbox, plus there's now AT LEAST one copy in my Mail Junk, and also AT LEAST one copy in my Mail Trash.
Round and round I go, junk, delete, junk, delete, but the errant e-mail refuses to go away, and Mail continues to be unable to pull any new e-mails down from the POP server.
Eventually, Mail just hangs, with a spinning disk.
Even a force quit and relaunch of Mail doesn't resolve the spinning disk.
The errant message just sits there, REFUSING to be deleted.
The only way to get round this bug is for me to go up to my POP server, delete the report, and then PURGE DELETE the report - on the POP server !
I then have to go in to my Mac, and go:
--> Users --> Home --> Library --> Mail --> Account --> Inbox, Junk, and Deleted
and then manually drag ALL copies of the report into the trash on the Desktop.
It happens so often (pretty much every day) that I've had to create a shortcut in my Dock which leads straight to the Account folder.
Mail has always been buggy under ALL versions of OS X, but this ongoing bug drives me crazy, mainly because there's NO logical reason for it.
Just because I receive an e-mail message from the Hotmail server, for example, which says that my e-mail could not be delivered, usually because the recipient's inbox is full, or because no such address exists, on paper, that's just another e-mail which Mail is pulling down from the POP server.
However, EVERY TIME I receive such a report, Mail hangs.
I'm reluctant to rebuild my Mailboxes, in case I lose any messages, but I will if you advise it.
Any workaround would be gratefully received.
With best wishes to everyone in the Apple community, especially those on the Infinity Loop.
In particular, I wish Mr Jobs a very speedy recovery.
Cool,

Quit Mail, Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

My iPhone broke and I had to disable it by deleting it from 'Find my iPhone' when I receive the new one in the mail, will I be able to back it up to the backup I made before I deleted it from 'find my iPhone'?

My iPhone stopped working so under my insurance they are sending me a new phone. They asked that I erase it from Find my iPhone so I can send it back and so i did that and now my macbook air FaceTime and iMessage isn't working. My prime concern is about if the backup from iTunes still work so I can backup my new iPhone when I receive it. there were a lot of important things on it.

There should be no reason you cannot restore your replacement phone with the backup that you made from your old phone.

Slow when sending/receiving from contact

i have been text messaging one person on my phone a lot, and every time, it slows down when sending/receving to them. resets do not help it. any ideas? i went to the at&t store, and the guy deleted the contact, and we re-added them, and it worked like new. but i do not want to have to do that every time! any ideas??...

If you have a long history of SMS to that one individual, you could just search in your SMS folder for all SMS from that person, and delete all the oldest messages.

What is all of the information listed when sending/receiving emails about how it is received and how do you delete

When I send or receive an email the date, to, from and subject line are fine but after that there is all of this encrypted information that is listed. I do not know what this information is called, how this information started showing up, I do not want it to be there and I do not want it to print every time I print an email. It takes up a whole page and it is longer than the actual email I am receiving or sending?
How do I get rid of it! Thanks much!! Lisa

Thank you so much !!

Outlook 2010 Problem selecting ISP for email default when sending receiving OK

I am using Outlook 2010 for email with an ISP. Recently installed Outlook 2013 on a new laptop using the same broadband wireless router connection. The email file is showing as my ISP but in the Data files window although my ISP file appears I
cannot select it as the default it remains on the Data file with my ISP below it.
When I send an email it goes straight to the sent box but is undelivered.
I can receive email in the Inbox from other computers.
In the Email account details only my ISP appears with below it a statement that new messages will be delivered to the ISP account ending .pst
How can I make my ISP the default data file.
On my laptop Outlook 2013 has the default as my ISP account ending .ost
Help please

Hi,
Based on the description, you have a pst data file in Outlook 2010 and an ost data file in Outlook 2013, I think you are probably using an IMAP account?
Please note, in Outlook 2010, IMAP data files can't be set as default, because IMAP doesn't support the special folders - calendar, contacts, tasks. Outlook needs a default data file to store these information.
This has been changed in Outlook 2013, we can now set the IMAP data files as default.
If you have further questions, feel free to post back.
Regards,

When I receive emails why doesn't the mail icon on the bottom of the home page indicate I have mail. Only after I go into my mail do I find out I have mail. My Blackberry always indicated when I received new emails.

I was wondering if the mail icon on the bottom of the home screen ever indicates that I have mail. It isn't indicating and only after I open up my mail does it show that I have received emails. Is there any type of indicator that is supposed to be on the mail icon that shows I have mail? Thanks

Mail starts up wherever you last left it, or should do without any changing of settings.

Changing the background color of page when sending an i-photo in an e-mail

I want to choose a different color background than white on the e-mail page that contains my i-photo image. Is this possible ?

You are using iPhoto 9 (11)? If you are then the themes would be obvious when you select iPhoto as your mail client in iPhoto's General preference pane (upper left hand image)
Click to view full size
and then use the Share ➙ Email button
Click to view full size
to get this window:
Click to view full size
However, I was mistaken in that the background colors for those themes can't be changed. The same goes for the stationary themes in Mail.

No sound when sending/receiving messages

When I send a message in Mesages and with iMessage I hear no sound. However when I send messages in AIM with Messages sounds work just fine. Any suggestions?

How can I set me E-mail to come to my server automatically rather than having to use "Send/Receive" each time I check for mail?

When I used THE BIG BLUE "E" it cam in every few minutes and a tiny envelope appeared on my screen to alarm me.

I need to transfer my library from my old computer to my new computer (both PCs.) How is this done? The process seems to be more opaque than it really needs to be. Thank you!!

My library (which includes items from CDs and items purchased from itunes) is on my old PC. I have a new PC and want to transfer the library. I can't see how to do this. I've turned Home Sharing on for both computers, but the Share doesn't show up on either one. I can't figure out how to move the library. When I try to burn it on a CD it keeps saying the CD isn't blank, even tho it is.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

O.,.k. Maybe this is progress. I transfered the Itunes folder to an external hard drive, connected that with the new computer, and told Itunes to look for the library there. It found the library.
The playlists are not there, but that's not a big deal.
The songs I tried to transfer to the new computer are still there, with the "!" tag, meaning they won't play. No big deal. I deleted all the "!" because the songs were there in files without the "!".
Final problem, I hope.
I ended up with hundreds of duplicate copies. Both dupes play. Again, no big deal other than the annoyance of having to delete the dupes.
Next step, after I have completed the deletion of the dupes.
1. Recreate the play lists manually, using my Ipod as the guide.
2. Then sync the Ipod with the new computer library, and all will be will.
Am I right? Or is there possible trouble?
