Why does mail sent using the MacOSX mail client not show up in my sent folder when I access my Gmail account in a browser?

I've recently started using my first Mac, and I hooked my work email (Forwarded to Google Mail) and my personal email (Gmail) into the MacOSX mail client. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, until I noticed that sent mail from my work email through the MacOSX Mail client is not showing up in my sent box on any other clients. Sent mail does show up in my personal email in Gmail, though.
Can anyone help me understand why mail sent from the MacOSX Mail client doesn't end up in the sent folder of my work Gmail account? I suspect it has something to do with the forwarding-to-Google process -- a sort of "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation. Has anyone heard of this problem before? What should I try?

I've been noticing that too. Just told me there were 6 outgoing messages, even though I did not create any new messages.
One hypothesis is that it's generating those messages when a rule moves an email from one folder to another.
Can someone at Apple confirm this?

Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop. It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page! Made reading an ebook difficult.
I finally found the solution:
Under Edit select Preferences - General
Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming".

Why does my mac use the wireless network when the wired network (faster) is available?

My mac is connected to my gigabit wired network, but insists on using the (decidedly slower) wireless network. When I connect the ethernet cable, I can see that Ethernet moves to the top of the list in my network options... but investigation using the Network Utility shows that all the data is still transferred over AirPort unless I disable it. That shouldn't be necessary.

Do you NEED Airport and Ethernet on at the same time?
Like @PAHU said you can use Locations to set up a different connection and/or network when you only need the Wireless.
Setting a "Location" is an excellent way to separate the networks. If you use a "Location" for DSL/Cable and another for "File Sharing" then you can set up which "connection" you want to use and can turn off the others. Or a wireless OR wired Network.
If you also go to the left side of the Network window and select Airport and turn it OFF and you won't have to worry about it anymore. You will have to set each "connection" for each "Location".
I have all my computers hooked to a wired Gigabit switch and the Wired/Wireless router is connected to that. I have "Ethernet-DSL", "Wireless DSL", "DSL OFF", "Wireless Games", "Ethernet Games" (also for file transfers between computers) all on different networks. Takes all of 5 seconds to switch back and forth.

Hey There Ingridkoala,
Did you have an earlier version of GarageBand and are updating to version 10.0.3? Or did you already have version 10.0.3 and received an invitation to download additional content? If it is the latter, you should be able to cancel the download of additional content and finish your current project first.

If you need the update before you can proceed with your project, I have a few suggestions that may help get this content to download.
Connect to the internet via a wired ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi for a faster connection.
Turn the computer's sleep setting to never so that the download is not interrupted.
Disable or turn of any antivirus software if you have it, as these may stop the progress of the download.

Why does this happen?--"The following files were not imported because they could not be read." Lightroom will not import ANY files.

Lightroom cannot read files, yet they can be imported by copying them.

Jim is correct. This is very likely a permissions problem. If you have checked and are CERTAIN the permissions are correct you should, in this order:
1.Repair Permissions
2.Reset your preference file by holding down [Shift][Opt] and Launching Lightroom.

In order for a call to show in recents, the call has to make it to the phone. If you're in an area of very poor signal, the call may never get to the phone but will go instead to voice mail, where your caller may or may not leave a message. I realize that doesn't explain what you seem to have seen recently. However, it would explain other instances where you've had no notification but a voice mail.
Best of luck.

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

How do I use the „Apple Mail To Do" Folder on multiple Macs?

Hi,
I'm using the Apple Mail To Do Folder respectively the "To Do" function in mail on my iMac and my MacBook. I will find To Dos created on the MacBook in the "Apple Mail To Do" Folder on my iMac, but the iMac doesn't show these To Dos in the associated mails. Same happens for To Dos created on the iMac when I try to use them with the MacBook. Any hint?
Thanks.

Turning the mail account off does not really solve this problem. All the snooper has to do if the mail account is turned off is to turn it back on, read messages and then turn it off again.
If the Apple mail works like other mail systems, you can mark read messages as unread. Then you really won't have any way of knowing that your messages were read already.
The simple solution is (wondering why Apple has not implemented it) is to remove the password in the Mail settings so that each time the Mail is opened, it will ask for a username and password.

Why can't I use my normal mail account for synching notes

Hi there,
I maintain my father's iDevices/computers as he has Parkinsons and does not understand the technology behind how these services work. I need to maintain as simple a configuration as possible. As an example calendaring is difficult as new entries are not necessarily put in the calendar he uses and I have to talk him through how to show all calendars on a regular basis. I can't have his mail on IMAP as he cannot manage his mail and his mailbox fills up. I can't simply pay for storage ad infinitum - my local copy of his mail is about 6 GB and growing.
I have seen several discussions where it is clear that we *must* use an icloud.com e-mail account for synching notes via IMAP, but none of them have explained WHY I MUST USE @icloud.com e-mail. If this is an IMAP based service why can't I use any other IMAP server
I see that it is referred to as an "icloud account" but if I have to enable mail, it becomes an e-mail account, which I do not want as it will be confusing if there is an issue with the main mail server (which I maintain) it will present an option to use the icloud.com e-mail as a valid option to send the mail.
I do not turn on the mail option in icloud.. (only calendar, contacts, reminders and find my iphone). I find it dissapointing that this is now what seems to be a "requirement".

That is absolutely unnecessary, but more convenient to have icloud to sync your notes. I use other IMAPs as well and can sync my notes with google and yahoo and icloud(corresponding email is required in all cases). It is your choice and you can pick your poison, but you will find out that icloud is more convenient after you or him will lose his info few times. There is no requirement, you can even use the group that will not sync with anything "on my device" if you disable all of IMAPS. Icloud is just the one that you can call Apple and normally people prefer to work with Apple support way more then with google's or yahoo's, but that is again up to your preference.

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
Read this from a site I found:
Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.
