Why doesn't Mail empty Junk folders at every quit?

I select "empty Junk at quit" but still Mail doesn't empty those folders at every quit. Anyone know why this happens?

This is still happening to me with Mail v6.0 (1485) after updating to Mountain Lion. I have to quit and restart Mail after resuming from sleep to get it to connect to any of my accounts. One iCloud and one GMail account.
I have tried starting from scratch by removing all accounts, files in my Library ("Application Support" and "Caches" folders) and cleaned up my keychain, but still the problem persists.

Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

Why doesn't "Mark as Junk Mail" learn?

I'm getting numerous Junk Mail messages a day, all actually directed to my main email-address. The senders adresses are always different, without something Mail Rules can get a grip on. The only thing left for me is to manually mark them as Junk Mail.
But often i get the same emails over and over again. Tomorrow i'll get, among several new ones, exact similar mails i thought i disposed of yesterday.
Why can't Mail.app learn to recognize these emails and mark them as Junk Mail automatically? I wanted to get rid of them yesterday, why would i want them today? This is eating me...

It's ok - i figured that you need to delete the account and then re sign in.

Why doesn't Mail allow a Junk IMAP message to be marked as "Not Junk"?

I don't understand the behavior of Mail (Lion) when it comes to junk mail from IMAP accounts. Mail has marked an email from an IMAP account as junk (judging by the brown text color) and has moved it to the Junk mailbox. For some reason, though, Mail doesn't provide the usual function to mark it as "Not Junk".
Mail does allow marking the message as Junk, which suggests that Mail actually didn't mark it as Junk properly in the first place. Fortunately, this also provides a workaround. When I mark the message as Junk, it gets flagged with the brown paper bag symbol. After that I can mark the message as Not Junk, which removes both the bag symbol AND the brown text color.
Still, I would rather see Mail behave differently. Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior or tips to alter it?

Soooo, Apple, why don't your crackerjack programmers make it possible to have multiple message windows open at one time in Mail???!
It's always been available for as long as I can remember.
Eudora is archaic, ancient history, IMHO.

Why doesn't mail put my junk mail in my junk mailbox

Since I started using 10.9.2, the Mail program has misbehaved much less and I have been able to return to using it from Gmail. However, it puts all my junk mail (which it SAYS is junk mail) in my Inbox instead of the junk mailbox - even though I have instructed it in Preferences to move it to the Junk mailbox. Why? What can I do to correct this?

Can't anyone come up with an answer to this question? I'd be very grateful for any ideas.

Why doesn't Mail on my iPhone filter out Junk mail?

Can anyone tell me why Mail on my iPhone 4 does not appear to filter out Junk mail?
Maybe I'm oversimplifying things but I would have assumed the same features and functionality as in Mail for OS-X i.e. you can mark any mail received as 'Junk' if the filter hasn't recognised it as such.
Or is Mail in iOS just not that smart?

Thanks, that sounds a reasonable argument although it would be nice to be able to mark/filter directly from the iPhone as I don't always have access to either my Macbook or iCloud when I'm overseas for long periods and the Junk mail just keeps building!?
Wasn't having a 'dig' at Apple or it's developers; am a long term share-holder so I trust you know what you're doing!
Was just trying to work out if it was anything I was doing wrong

Why doesn't mail print the .ics details shown on screen?

I have colleagues using outlook and I of course use mail.
When they send me meeting requests I get a .ics file I can use in iCal.
The details of the .ics file (e.g. agenda) displays OK in mail.
But when I want to print the mail to take to the meeting, it just shows the .ics icon, nothing else.
Browsing the discussions, this was a problem back in 2007 in Tiger, but fixed there and subsequently.
Why have we got this "feature" back now in Lion? (The old fix - print from Get Info in iCal - doesn't work in Lion. Must be the cheap leather finish)
Any cures?

Have you tried using the '''Print''' item at the bottom if that eBay page? <br />
Or is that what you are using?
Overall it isn't unusual for "print" to be a bit different than what shows on the "screen", that page may use @media for "screen" and for "print". The '''Print''' item on that page could be the difference, or the web browser might be following that code is you used the '''Print ''menu item or button''''' in Firefox. <br />
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html#media-types
Typically, the '''@print''' CSS code is used to hide navigation menu's ''(can't "navigate" to a different web page from a sheet of paper)'' and maybe advertisements ''(can't "click" on an ad that is on paper)'' from being printed out so that only the text of an article is printed to paper.
Basically, it's probably not a fault with Firefox, but rather Firefox following the commands on the page put there by the person who authored that page, or a standard CSS "style sheet" used by eBay.

Why doesn't mail show up in Inbox

Recently my incoming mail no longer appears in my Inbox. It still in appears in my sub-accounts/sub-folders, but not in my Inbox. For example, email sent to my .Mac account shows up in the .Mac subfolder, but not in the Inbox folder. Previously (yesterday), the same email would appear in both (the .Mac subfolder and Inbox) folders.
Any ideas?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mail Version 2.0.7

JBatch, you're clearly missing the point of the article. The issue is not whether the mailbox appears completely empty or just misses some messages. The issue is whether your mailboxes are too big for Mail to be able to handle them properly.
One of the things the article says is that, even if the mailboxes may not be too big individually, viewing them combined in the Inbox group can result in Mail not displaying the combined content properly because the total size of all of them exceeds what Mail can handle properly.
This seems to be exactly the problem you're describing, yet you've given no indication of whether the relevant part of that article applies to you (i.e. whether your mailboxes might be too big). Unfortunately, Mail 2.0 does not provide information about the total size of a mailbox as Mail 1.x did, which makes this harder to evaluate, but you could at least give an indication of whether any of your mailboxes has too many and/or too big messages in it...
Also, rebuilding the Inbox group is not possible because Mail only allows individual mailboxes to be rebuilt, not multiple mailboxes nor mailbox groups.

Why doesn't Mail apply rules during sleep?

I often wake up the MBP in the morning to find that Apple Mail has not applied any rules to incoming mail. I can fix it easily by selecting all the new mail and applying rules. In normal, waking operation it applies rules automatically. But past versions of Mail always applied rules during sleep, too. Why now? Is there some way to make it apply rules?

Exact same problem, only since switch from SL to ML. Have to tell the machine to never sleep???

Why doesn't Mail have ability to use bullets in emails

I find it odd that you can adjust colors but not have the ability to use bullets and number lists in contructing emails in Apple mail.

Well, I don't know why the composition features of Mail are so limited, but I know an easy workaround.
Compose your email in TextEdit (where you can make bulleted/numbered lists). From the menu bar, choose Edit->Select All followed by TextEdit->Services->Mail->Send Selection.
A new email will open with your formated text in the body.

Why doesn't Mail send from any of my three email addresses using OS X10.9.1

Outgoing mail just piles up. And why does it pile up in a directory called On My Mac?

Ignore the fact that I am now allanpeter1. I am beginning to hate OX 10.9.1 as I have had nothing but trouble ever since upgrading. This time I have been forced to re-register for discussions.apple.com. Another ID and another password to add to the list! However - I have My Connection doctor open in front of me (this email comes from an iPad which works OK). iCloud IMAP is green, and so is P&A Exchange (my work address). Cantab IMAP is red. For some reason which I do not understand I also have a mail.cantab.net:a.... SMPT which I have not created in Mail, but may have previously set up in Outlook 2011. I don't need it, but it won't go away. It is also red. Yesterday all four were green.
I do have a new message relating to my Cantab 'reds', namely that the system will not connect either server because the certificate is invalid. Since it wasn't invalid yesterday I am perplexed, and have contacted the cantab service provider who will, it is hoped, reply in due course and allow me to cross this little unexpected bridge and to see what problems are left.

Why doesn't mail work with Att Yahoo servers?

Ever since Bellsouth went to using Yahoo to handle their email it hasn't worked regularly. Now that my system is so old they are incapable of helping. They do not have any tech support for Apple products nor do they seem to care. The conversation all ways ends up that they say something is wrong with the mail program or the computer. Since i had it checked out I know that is BS.
I know there are a number of people using older Mac Mail programs with one of the At&T companies that someone must have found a solution, or not? There are pages of Mac owners complaining on the ATT site but no solutions.
Looking for someone that has succeeded in dealing with ATT and what is it?
It may be that the solution is using a different email program than Mac Mail or forwarding from a different email supplier. Any suggestions?

     Thanks to all whom replyed to my query. I have spent more time with ATT and I hired a local computer guy to help. Using you alls info and my high priced friend the email works most of the day. I have found a couple things... some say the servers are IMAP and some say they are POP. What I have had to do is have both set ups available to me to use to get and send mail. Right now the POP is working best.
     ATT will tell you either, depending on the fool you talk to. The last guy said only POP will work. The guy befoe said they were IMAP. They also like to send people to their 3rd party tech people. Unfortunately they don't know anything about macs and they won't tell you that until after you pay them. What the final say from ATT is that they only guarantee that you can get you mail via web-mail and will do little to nothing to help you othet than what is correographed on their computer screen. If that doesn't help thay basicly say tuff luck. My suggestion to all is find someone else other than ATT OR IT'S SUBS.
     Currently 2 of my three bellsouth.net emails address work a couple days at a time. One only works for 15 minutes. To get it to work you can open the Connection Doctor and run it usually once and the email will begin working again. You can access it (OS 10.8.4) by clicking on the little "triangle with exclaimation point" that comes up next to you email box name. I leave open all day to make it easier to access. It also makes the G5 work at the same time. Nor because they are connected but because the problem is with Yahoo-ATT.
     Current POP settings are:
                                    inbound.att.net     port 110 with SSL and password authentication
                                    outbound.att.net   port 465 with SSL and password authentication on two of the emails
     On one of the emails I have a GoDaddy web account that uses:
                                       pop.secureserver.net default port selection with SSL and password authentication
for the out going mail server which works for the bellsouth email. Seems like it shouldn't but it does.
I also keep the IMAP settings as noted by "goodmanrc" as sometimes it works.
                   Incoming Mail Server
                      Host Name       pop.att.yahoo.com
                      Use SSL          ON
                      Authentication Password
                      Port                995
                   Outgoing Mail Server
                      Host Name      smtp.att.yahoo.com
                      Use SSL         OFF
                      Authentication Password
                      Port               25
The settings as noted by Andrew99 use to work before I got Uverse. Now they no longer work. At least not this week.
Thanks again to all.

Why doesn't Mail 6.3 show forward and reply icons consistently?

I am using a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and Mail 6.3. My issue is that Mail seems to randomly decide when to put the reply and forward icons next to messaegs in the inbox. It happens with both my Gmail account and an account from a different server. For some of the messages I reply to, it gives me the reply icon and for some, it doesn't. For some of the messages that I forward, it gives me the forward icon and for some, it doesn't. One good thing is that it never shows the icons for messages that have not been replied to or forwarded. So it has that much going for it. I am using a different SMTP for each account. For the messages that I reply to and the forwarded ones, they do actually go out - I can find them in my sent folder. Mail is also synced with my iPad Mini and the icons or lack thereof are consistent across the two devices. One thing to note is that ANY emails replied to or forwarded from my iPad, always show the correct icons - both on the iPad and then on my MacBook once synced. The problem seems to stem from my MacBook Mail.
Any ideas? Thank-you.

Select the affected mailboxes in the mailbox list, then select
Mailbox ▹ Rebuild
from the menu bar.

If I move a picture from one project to another in aperture why doesn't the jpeg change folders if all my pictures are referenced?

I started importing all my pictures into Aperture and have been debating whether to use a managed or referenced library. I'm leaning toward referenced, but before import everything that way, I do a couple of "test drives".
In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't. Anyone know why? Is there a way to make this happen? Is it bad that I want this to happen? Should I just use a managed library. I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
Any thoughts?
Mark

In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't.
Mark, Aperture does not store the originals organized by project, but by the date of the Import Session. So moving an image to a different project will not change, were the original file is stored.
This has a big advantage for backing up the originals. If they never move or change, you do not have to backup the originals other than directly after importing, if your library is referenced. And even incremental backups of a managed library are quicker.
Is there a way to make this happen?
You can always use the command "File > Relocate" to move the original files anywhere you want.
Is it bad that I want this to happen? Should I just use a managed library. I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
If it is bad, will depend on why you want to have control of your originals. If you just want to know where they are, it is o.k., or if you don't have enough space on the drive with the library and need to split the library across several drives. But it would be bad to move, edit, or access the referenced originals in any way. Let Aperture do the handling, or you will be risking broken references.
Aperture has several buil-in ways to show you the original: The "M" key will switch the Browser to the original, "File > Export > Original" will give you an exact copy of the original, or you can relocate the file to another folder. I simply open the aperture Library in iPhoto, when I want to view my managed originals. iPhoto has a command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original" that will show you also the managed originals in the "Masters" folder inside the Aperture/iPhoto Library package.
