Why did Mail send a message unasked?

Checking my mail the other day I heard the Mail Gone sound although I had no mail scheduled to go. When I checked the Sent folder there was no record of any mail having been sent. I'm a bit suspicious of a bug and checking through various folders came across something called 'pkcs11.shlb' in Library/Applications Support/Mozilla. Should this be there? What exactly is it?

Hi ernie, thanks for your speedy reply. That sounds reassuring, though I don't have firefox. I opened a copy of the document using TextEdit and it started off with the word 'Joy!' before it got into all its code which was what made me think it could be some kind of virus. I've tucked the original document away somewhere safe while I wait to find out if it does belong to the system...

So, Adobe downloader sends me a window that says "contact Customer support". That appears to be impossible. Why did you send the message if there is no way to communicate with you. This is a very poor way to treat your paying customers.

I don't want to start a discussion. I just want a phone number for customer support. Is that really impossible?

Alacatr I am sorry you are facing difficulty contacting our support team. I would recommend that you utilize a different web browser, computer, smart phone, or tablet, to contact our support team at Contact Customer Care.
If you are receiving a download error then there may be an issue with the stability of your Internet connection. This could also affect your ability to contact our support team. I would recommend reviewing Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html for information on how to resolve download errors.

Why does Mail send two copies of my emails?

Thank you.

I'm experiencing this issue also. Just one user where I work, Mail in 10.9.3 and Office 365. In-house users only receiving duplicate messages, i.e. the same message twice. Any idea why or how to fix this?

I think what the forum software has to offer is neither rocket science, nor anything new or generally unknown. The vendor or OTN should have enough experience and at least tested the forum software to make sure it functions as advertised. Unfortunately however it seems that the OTN staff is either not very good at testing the product or they just leave it up to the community to find out. Some of the previous issues are so obvious that I would rather suspect the later.
I would not want to spoil anyone's fun, but I would be reluctant to enable private messaging because I think community members should exchange questions and answers in public and not through private channels. If anybody wants to send me a private message, for instance, my email address is visible in the bio field of my user profile. This way at least I can respond at my convenience, outside of Oracle's jurisdiction, or simply bounce an email if I feel like it.
And btw, I'm somewhat concerned about current privacy settings. What business is it of anyone else to see my bookmarks and the content I'm following?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I just watched Mail send two messages I did not initiate.

When I tried to see what on earth they could be, as I was only trying to send one message and had no others waiting, I had no Outbox listed on the left. Under Mailbox -> Go To -> Outbox {command 2}, it was greyed out and wouldn't even let me see what I was sending, there are no apparent records of any other emails beyond the one I was trying to send. I'd turned off airport and was hooked up to an ethernet connection only to be able to send this email. What could that have been? I watched a progress bar show two and then three messages being sent out before I interrupted it pulling out the plug, but have no idea what or if I stopped anything. Is there a way I can find out what it was sending, other than the Sent folders which are playing innocent?

If you were composing a message and your Mail preferences for the account are configured to save drafts on the server, then what you observed was simply your draft being sent to the server's Drafts folder.

If your mail server requires the security of SSL, then it would not work without it. If you had to disable SSL for it to work, then your email provider does not use SSL for security. You cannot fix what isn't broke. The email provider sets the rules for sending and receiving mail. SSL is just one layer of it, and they may just use username and password for security and not requireing SSL. The only way that you can change that is to change providers. If it doesn't work with SSL now, it probably never did. I wouldn't say that your mail has an "obvious security issue".

Mail sending 2 messages for every 1 sent ("sending 2 of 2 messages")

hi... did a search, but it was a tough one to search for.
an odd problem: mail says it's sending 2 messages for each message i send. for instance, i type a note to my mom (because i'm a good son) and hit send on the one email... the status bar at the bottom left of the panel says: "sending message: 2 of 2" or "outgoing messages: 2 of 2"...
however, in checking the sent folder, only 1 message sent.
it does not do this all of the time, but about 1 out of every 5 messages, it seems...
i'm worried about malware, spyware, etc... would there be such a thing? why is mail acting weird?

There are no viruses for Mac OS X, and no malware can be installed without you providing your Admin password, so you don't have that, either.
This is normal behavior, because you have an IMAP email account. In order for everything to be in sync, the mail server and your Mac must communicate very frequently, and that includes whenever you send or receive email. The message may say one thing, but unless you see multiple, identical messages being sent or received, it's not happening. There's no such thing as invisible email.

Mail sends my messages a billion times!

Well, not a billion. But it sends my message even when I'm not done typing it. If I pause and come back later to the message, mail will send it without me pressing send. How do I stop this?!

Thanks, this really save my day!
Another problem I am having is that when I reply to messages in Apple Mail it usually puts a little curved arrow next to the original message that I can click on and see my reply, but now it doesn't! So it looks like I didn't reply to the message. I can actually view my reply if I go in the sent folder. Pretty annoying... Now when I go to my Gmail account on the google mail server, I can see that I did reply to that particular message (i.e. I don't have to go to the sent folder to view it!). It seems that the problem comes from Apple Mail app. I have heard many people having this problem... Any fix would be really welcome.

Mail: 'Sending the message content to the server failed'

My wife has a MacBook Pro and I have an iMac, both using Tiger and both using Mac Mail with Gmail accounts. We frequently get errors when sending mail - mail cannot send so it puts the messege indefinately in my Outbox. We both recieve mail just fine.
The exact error is:
'This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending the message content to the server failed.'
I tried changing my port 25 to 587 and it did not seem to work. Any ideas?
Thank you.

hi - i posted this in another thread but meant to post it here - oops - i've been following this thread and others for days now - i also have been having safari/email 'sending message content to server failed'/flash 10 plugin problems since latest security/java/qt software update - here's what i recommend and what i'll be doing from now on - before i install any updates via software update i'll be saving the download/installers to a folder as suggested in another topic thread - next i'll be disconnecting my router - and connecting the modem directly to the computer - bypassing the router - once i'm sure configurations/internet/mail are functioning correctly i'll connect the router - all this time my problems were with my router port settings - not safari or flash 10 plugin or mail app - go figure - hope this helps - peace!

Error message when sending mail : sending the message failed because you have exceeeded your sending limit"

I was trying to email a link from a webpage I loaded in safari. The email sits in my outbox with a red exclamation point. WIll not send. Keeping getting an error message sending the message failed because you have exceeded your sending limit

"I keep getting a "you have exceeded your limit" on my email."
No explanation, makes no sense, it's happening with others.
I have to change (in my outgoing/unsent folder) my sending address from .mac to me.com. After reading the following helpful post:
To get outbox individual mails sent, Try going to outbox, opening each email to edit and change sending email to [email protected] by clicking arrow in from line. If [email protected] account does not show, go to settings > mail > icloud account > add "[email protected]" And, until this issue is resolved, set mail to send from [email protected]
(and you should be using smtp.mail.me.com)

HT5622 Why can I send a message with an attached photo to one contact on phone or email and can't to another contact. I can sent message on iPhone still I was using messages on iPad

Why can I send message on iPad messages to one contact and not send same message with same photo to another contact. I can sent message on iPhone to same contact

I would guess that the problem contact does not have iMessage turned on. The iPad can only send iMessages not SMS messages (phone text). You can send a message to this contact with your iPhone because your iPhone can send SMS text messages.
