Why do rules in mail preferences no longer work

I just converted to Mavericks. Now the rules for mail messages don't work. I've clicked them off and on again but no change. What else to I need to do to make the rules work?

Duplicate your copy of iTunes 10.x before upgrading to iTunes 11 (or restore it from a backup) and use iTunes 10.x to listen to (and in particular access the links in) podcasts. Further, file a bug with Apple that these links don't work when the album art is displayed in the album art mini-player.

When I add a rule to mail preferences, they don't work at all

One thing to remember is that mail rules are only executed on incoming email. To run a rule against existing email, Mail > Message > Apply rule.

Mail App no longer working after 2.0 upgrade

I upgraded to 2.0 on my IPhone Edge and now my mail application no longer works AT ALL. If I try to open it, it simply shows me a blank mail screen, waits for a few seconds and then returns to the home screen. Strangely enough, I have been able to send email photos using the camera application.
Email is the most important application for me on the iPhone! Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a fix available?

I recently stopped by the apple store and have fixed my mail app! The problem as described to me was caused by a installing apps. Turns out that apps can mess with Mail setting in some way and perhaps due to a bad setting or a bad combination of settings my mail application stopped working. The way I fixed it was to do a restore to New Iphone which, unfortunately, wipes everything! But after syncing back up including re-installing all of my apps, mail works again! Of course, I lost all of my notes, various settings, and lots of other stuff. Turns out that a simple restore, since it backs up your phone beforehand (backing up bad settings at the same time) is not the silver bullet but a full restore to new iphone probably often is. Hope this helps others.

Mail sounds no longer working

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the Mail app (6.0) no longer makes sounds for checking, sending, or receiving email messages. Sounds are enabled in both Mail preferences as well as the mail section of Notifications. Sounds elsewhere still work, just not in Mail. Any thoughts?
I've already searched for, and found, the various threads about activities Mail being curtailed (no spinning wheels for example). I can think of no good reason to remove visual/audio feedback from an application (or make it configurable).

Certainly. This is something that has been around in Mac's for a very long time, but this Apple KB will tell you what to do. Very simple:

I've found since my post that I still occasionally lose sound, but quitting and restarting the Mail app has been sufficient; no need to reset the PRAM anymore.

Mail search using e-mail addresses not longer works after 10.6 update?

I just updated to 10.6 from 10.5. I have also added all the software updates.
The search function no longer works for e-mail addresses. I used to right-click on an address, copy and paste in search. Now, when I do that, it lists like this : NAME <[email protected]> (sample info) instead of just the e-mail address. In this new form, the search function no longer functions. Is there a way to revert to the old way mail copies e-mail address?
I do not want to have to delet ethe name & out of each paste.
input greatly appreciated!

Perfect! Works like a charm.
For others looking for the fix.
In 10.6, it seems someone at Apple decided that Copy Address should really mean Copy Name And Address And Add Angle Brackets Around The Address, because that's exactly what happens when you use Copy Address in Snow Leopard's Mail app. Instead of getting [email protected] on the clipboard, you get Sue Sample <[email protected]>.
Besides now having an incorrect name on the Copy Address contextual menu item (thought admittedly, the alternative is a bit lengthy), this behavior is incredibly irritating if you want only the email address on the clipboard. Thankfully, some engineer somewhere deep within Apple included a hidden preference to change this behavior -- and the fine folks at Mac Daddy World (the Ecamm Network blog site) dug deep and discovered this preference.
To revert to the 10.5-style behavior in Mail, first quit Mail then enter this command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO

Mail will no longer work with AOL

My wife can not access her AOL email account through Mail. She has accessed it for long time but this morning she came down and was prompted to enter her password. "The AOL IMAP server "imap.aol.com" rejected the password for user xxxxx" She entered her password but it wouldnt take. She actually has two AOL email account that she accesses through Mail and neither would work.
She logged onto www.aol.com and was able to sign in. She changed her passwords to be safe. We went into Mail and Preferences and changed her passwords for each account making sure to save the changes. But again, she was prompted to enter her password and still the same message as above.
After reading the boards here I went into Keychain Access and ran Keychain First Aid. I ran Verify first and no problems found. Then ran Repair and no problems found. I shut the whole computer down and restarted. No luck with getting mail to interface with AOL. Note: on my user account (Admin) my AOL account is working fine.
The inbox error message is "Unable to Connect" There may be a problem wit the mail server or network (not the case as I am getting my mail fine). Verify the settings for account "xxxx - AOL Mail" or try again. The server returned ther erro: The attempt to read data from the server "imap.aol.com" failed
Then I went into her Ipad, where the mail was also not working, and deleted the mail account. I went into to create the new account and go the message "The user name or password for "imap.aol.com" is incorrect.
Again, I can go to AOL.com and log into her account and get her mail fine.
I dont know what to do. Nothing seems to make sense.
Help?!?
Thanks

Mail stopped working w/AOL for me 3 days ago on all 4 computers and iphone. I have two accounts and neither can send/receive mail. Tried everything I can think of/found online like other users here. Extremely frustrating to have to login to AOL server to check it. I did discover today that I can disable the wifi on my iphone and connect just fine over 3G. This tells me my settings and passwords are fine on the computers-seems to be a problem AOL has w/network connections. Any ideas?

Rules in Mail 6.0 quit working

I have created several rules in Apple Mail. Under previous editions of Mail, these rules worked flawlessly. Now, using Mail 6.0 and OS X 10.8.1, whenever I quit Mail, the rules reset and no longer work. Ideas?

Mail Sounds No Longer Work on iPhone 4.

The sounds for mail, incoming or outgoing, no longer work on my iPhone 4 (4.3.3). All it does is vibrate even though that is set to Off. All the other feature settings are set to ON. I have checked all the sounds and they work, they just don't work with the Mail any more. This is a MobileMe IMAP account. I tried re-setting everything without deleting data and that made no difference. The sounds worked perfectly up until a week or so ago. Any ideas on how to have them function again? In addition, when I connect the iPhone to my iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.7) the phone also vibrates. This is a new feature as well. Any chance a setting in iTunes might have caused this, and, if so, how to remedy it.
Thanks!

Problem solved. No further action.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with a SSD for system. Restored drive from backup. Now logon password doesn't work. Account password still works. Changing password in user group preferences no longer works to change logon password.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with SSD for system drive. Drive stopped booting, but otherwise appeared healthy. Restored from system backup. Now drive seems to work properly, BUT my logon password no longer works. Password OK for account; can access system preferences, and change user password there BUT logon still refuses to accept password. No luck changing password for that account after adding new administrator account and logging on from that account. Suggestions? Thanks.

If you redirect Accounts to another location (not on the Boot Drive) you need to direct them back there again after a restore.
SystemPreferences > Accounts/User&Groups > ...
... Unlock the lock, then hold down Control as you click on an Account to get access to the Advanced Options pane.

Why do embeded presentations from Prezi no longer work?

Embeded interactive presentations from Prezi no longer work, when viewed on Firefox. They still work fine, when viewed on Google. This is a problem whether I am signed on or not.

You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You should check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why do podcast album view links no longer work in iTunes 11?

Why is my IBM Scroll button no longer working with the new Firefox?

I just downloaded the new Firefox onto my IBM ThinkPad. This laptop has a center button for the mouse that I have been able to use to scroll down webpages on the previous version of Firefox installed on my computer. However, with the new version it no longer works. Is it because there is a setting that was automatically programed and is something I can change or is the permanent feature of the new Firefox. If it is the latter, then I am disappointed and would rather use the older Firefox version.

Re-installing Pages through Appstore has fixed the problem.
Thank you

Why does google (and only google) no longer work in toolbar search box?

The search box on the Firefox toolbar - not the google toolbar- no longer works if google is selected as search engine, gives a not found error to any search. Other search engines work, but google is broken. Google works fine anywhere else, just not from stock toolbar search box. Windows XP, Firefox 16.0.1.

Thanks for the help, but that didn't work. "keyword.URL" was not bold and it wouldn't allow me to select reset. what next?

Why are some of my fonts no longer working?

SInce upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have noticed that many of my previously working fonts no longer work. Is there some kind of incompatibility font bug that was introduced with Snow Leopard? Has this been addressed in Lion?
If not, how do I get my fonts to work? These are fonts that gave me no trouble at all under Tiger or Leopard.

Have a look at Kurt Lang's article on font management.
Some font formats changed in SL.
