Why do I get a error saying mail was unable to find your reply. You may have deleted message.

when sending email, I sometimes get an error stating: Mail was unable to find your reply to:  You may have deleted message. This does not happen with every sent message but it is doing it more and more. The reply is no where to be found.

You posted in a 4 month old dead post. 
You would do better by posting a "New Topic" in the OS/Mail forum area of which os you are using.  You will need to indicate which version os you are using as well as which version of Mail you are using in order to get the proper attention to your post.  This will help the users reading your post to suggest solutions.

    I'm experiencing some kind of corruption in Mail's ability to connect replies to messages.
    The error I'm starting to get says this:
    "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message... You may have deleted the message."
    And these emails are no longer threading like conversations and when you click on the little "read reply" arrow icon it can't find the reply.
    What could be up here please?!?!?
    Thanks!

    CT,
    Thanks SO much for a reply.
    Yes it survives a restart, but i had no idea about this "Rebuild" option.
    Trying that now!
    Cheers!

  • Mail was unable to find your reply to the message ".....

    I keep getting this message when I try to look for a reply from within mail by clicking on the reply arrow in the inbox that shows I've replied to the message:
    "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message "...." You may have deleted the message."

    This only happens when looking for sent items from my Exchange account. The feature works correctly on all of my gmail accounts.
    I have verified in the preferences that this account is set up (box is checked) to properly "Store sent messages on the server".
    Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Cheers for that. Yes they match,  the sent folders are the same both locally and on the web interface.  They both updating almost instantly when i send something. 
    The problem is when replying, although both sent folder views contain the sent item, the little reply arrow cannot link to replied sent item.  I have attached an image of the message:

  • TS3276 Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message."  I did not delete the message.

    Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message."  I did not delete the message.  Bug in the program, or am I missing something?

    Of course they're in my Sent folder.  Then why can't Apple Mail find them?

  • TS3276 Mail was unable to find your reply to the message. You may have deleted the message.

    Mail was unable to find your reply to the message “subject”. You may have deleted the message.
    Using IMAP account. Just started happening last week.  Any suggestions?

    NO suggestions for fixing it Frank, but I'm having the same exact problem.  I have taken to copying all messages before sending them, and sending them twice.  What a pain in the ... um, neck!

  • Mail was unable to find your response

    In the message viewer window, when you have responded to a msg, there is a little arrow icon. When you click on that icon, it's suppose to bring up your response. I have five email accounts (I know, I know, simplify) 1 .mac acct., 2 pop accts., and 2 IMAP accts.
    I can use the response icon for all but one of the IMAP accounts (my main account of course).
    So of the two IMAP accounts, the response icon works for one, but not the other. They have the exact same incoming mail server, and outgoing SMTP server, and they both are configured the same way in Acct Info, Behaviours, and Advanced settings. The only difference is the account user.
    I'm stumpped. Any ideas?

    This is a problem that has been reported here quite a few times and for which no solution has been found yet. Doing some cache-cleaning, or even just restarting the computer, fixed the problem in some cases.
    Read the following article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    In particular, be sure to verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there, and to read this as well:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    In addition to the utilities mentioned there for cache cleaning, you may also consider OnyX or Cache Out X, which are free.
    Another thing that may be worth trying in your case is this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Move the “IMAP-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Any Update on Mail's "unable to find your response"?

    This has been discussed here in past years, I can see, but I'm still wondering if there's been a fix....
    My Mail program (2.1.3) is still doing it about 50% of the time. An email I responded to just last night, still in my InBox (or it could be in the Trash as well) -- this morning I can't find using the round gray arrow, getting the same error message saying "Mail was unable to find your response to..."
    Any fix for that? Isn't it about time for Apple to fix this? Or is Tiger a Dinosaur Apple wants to dump and forget about?.....

    In your Inbox messages, whenever you reply to a certain message, there is a curved gray arrow created to the left of the message. When you click on that arrow, the reply message is suppose to open in a different window.
    Ah, I see, thanks, is this a Pop or IMAP account?
    I wish I could embed a screen shot....
    To insert images into your post, use the <img>-tag. Note that the image you want to use in your post needs to be hosted online (e.g. on your .Mac website, etc.); you can not upload images to Apple Discussions.

  • Linking replies to messages when "Mail is unable to find your response"

    Hi all,
    I have discovered that for some of my email Mail.app can't seem to find the reply sent when I click on the grey reply arrow that sits to the left of the email. I see the following Error Message: "Mail was unable to find your response to the message "###". You may have deleted the message." I have noticed that this usually occurs when I have replied to email via the .Mac website, instead of from my computer using Mail.app. For instance, when I travel.
    The problem may be because I use my full name as the Full Name (sender identity) when replying via the .Mac website, but use my initials and surname as the Full Name (sender identity) when replying using Mail.app on my iMac. However, I am not convinced that this should make a difference as the actual email address is the same for both.
    What I would like to know is, can I link the sent email to the original email? I can see them both and I'd love to be able to tell Mail, "Hey this was my reply!"
    Any help or advice gratefully received.
    TIA.

    BUMP
    Anybody know how to get the reply arrow icons to actually find the replies I have sent?
    Or is this a case of whenever you reply to an email via the .Mac website, Mail.app will know you replied to it, but can't link the grey arrow to the message in the Sent Mail mailbox on the server?

  • HT1933 I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found.  I have used the gift card previously with no issue.  How do I fix

    I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found.  I have used the gift card previously with no issue.  How do I fix it?

    Have you moved or deleted those tracks on your computer (the gift card has got nothing to do with it) ?
    You might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) - if those songs appear there then delete the entries from your iTunes library (where you are clicking on them to play them and gettinf the 'original file' error), and they should then get a cloud symbol against them for re-downloading.
    If they don't appear in that link then have you got them on, for example, an external drive ?

  • Mail was unable to find reply to message

    Hi Guys
    Im using OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and use Mail with Exchange for emails.  Just recently when I click on the grey return arrow to view the reply ton an email I have sent, it get the following error message:
    'Mail was unable to find reply to your message. You may have deleted the message.'
    The message has not been deleted as I can see it by going to my Sent folder.  It has also worked in the past.
    Our whole office (10 people) are all set up EXACTLY the same with Mail/Exchange and are all using Yosemite.  Some of us have the same issue as me, and others work perfectly.
    Does anyone else have this issue or a solution?
    Cheers

  • I get an error saying I need at least Firefox 3.6 but I have Firefox 3.6.22

    On particular websites, such as 'Words with Friends' on Facebook and Pandora, I get an error saying that my browser is not supported and I need to upgrade. However, I am running the latest version (3.6.22) that can be run on my machine--I have OS X 10.4.11. In 'Words with Friends' I just click 'ok' and it loads, but I can't get Pandora to override the error. I've had this problem for quite awhile now, and I am pretty certain it is some setting on this machine, because the machine I use at work has the same version of OS X and Firefox and does not have the same problem. I have tried reinstalling Firefox to no avail.

    You have user agent that is corrupted by Fast Browser Search and that identifies you as Firefox/3.5.6 FBSMTWB
    *Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 FBSMTWB

  • When Firefox loads I get an error saying 'the applications security component could not initiallize'. I have a 64-bit PC based system.

    When I load Firefox I get an error message that tells me that the application security component could nt be initiallized. The suggestion from the error meddage was to see if there is a read/write restriction for the application profile directory. I have looked and found no such restriction on that directory. Firefox will load and allow me to look on the web, but many of the functions do not work. I have a 64-bit system using Windows 7 (64-bit version).

    Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file.
    You may have to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
    Firefox will create new files.
    The file cert8.db stores user certificates and intermediate certificates send by websites, so if you have certificates that you want to keep then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
    See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
    If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.
    Also make sure that you allow the loopback connection with the Software Security Device in the firewall.<br />
