Why won't Mail save stationery?

I just did a clean install of 10.6, and Mail won't save custom stationery I try to create. It does create the Custom category and shows what I saved there, but the text I entered is missing - only my signature shows up. The message has several of Mail's bulleted lists, but that shouldn't cause a problem. There are no graphics at all in my stationery.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated.

I've solved it!
When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.
So start with a blank email and no signature, before you select your custom-saved stationery.

  • Why won't Mail save photos to iPhoto

    The computer is an iBook G3, 900MHz running Tiger. It has Mail 2 and iPhoto 2.
    I have been trying to set this machine up for a friend. If I email him a photo, Mail has the option to save the photo to the iPhoto library. However, it doesn't actually do it.
    Is this because the Mail feature doesn't work with iPhoto 2? Is there an alternate method my friend could use to import photos from his email into the iPhoto library?
    Would upgrading to a later version of iPhoto such as iPhoto 05 enable the email feature to work?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Why won't Mail save my password(S)?

    I enter my passwords in the Accounts pane of Mail's preferences, click"save," but they're never saved.  As a result, I can't log into my Comcast mail.  What to do?

    In Mail's Preferences>Accounts, the password won't "stick" in the password field even after I click Save.  I've double checked all the other settings in all other fields in Accounts, and all are correct.  When I am in Mail and try to send a message (after setting the password in Accounts), a window comes up asking me to fill in my password again.  I do, and check to keep it in the keychain, but the same window pops back up again, demanding the password.  If I go back into Preferences>Accounts, the password field is blank AGAIN!!  Just a little frustrating.
    I've tried Keychain repair. 
    My mail.comcast.net password in Keychain are correct. 
    I've tried trashing Mail's and Keychain's .plist files and restarting before re-entering the password in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, but I am not sure I did those in the right order.  I'm going to try that again and will post back.
    I just got a new computer (MacBook Air) and this is the first time I've tried to use the Mail program, using Lion (10.7.1).  I never had this problem when I used Snow Leopard and previous OSs.
    Thanks for your help.

  • After connecting to Internet, clicking Mail icon, why won't Mail open?

  • Why won't mail open when click on icon?

    why won't my mail open when I click on icon but other users can open theirs?

    Howdy lpedvm23,
    If Safari is not opening any window when you click the icon, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    If Safari can’t open a window - Safari Help
    If you can’t open Safari or a new Safari window, try these suggestions.
    Use the latest version of Safari and OS X. To check for a Safari update, choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. For more information, see Keep your Mac up to date.
    Check your startup disk using Disk Utility.
    If the other suggestions don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Why won't Mail.app rules won't migrate, System Tiger to System Leopard?

    Hi,
    Mail.app rules won't migrate from System Tiger to System Leopard.
    Here's what I did:
    -- Clean install of System Leopard 10.5.6 onto a new Mac Pro.
    -- Used Migration Assistment to move files from System Tiger to System Leopard 10.5.6.
    -- Mail.app's rules failed to migrate.
    So, I manually finder-copied MessageRules.plist into the proper folder to replace the newly created and empty rules set in System Leopard's mail.app, and afterwards, the rules then showed up in mail's preferences.
    However, the "manually migrated" [finder copied] rules won't run.
    In order to narrow the scope of the problem, I moved the former System Tiger's mail.app rules to the desktop and allowed mail.app to re-create a new rules plist file, then I created a test rule and it worked.
    Questions:
    Why won't System Tiger's mail.app rules files migrate to System Leopard, and won't work upon manual migration?
    What is the remedy to "properly import" the rules to the new [System Leopard based] mail.app, or to make the manually moved rules plist file work?
    For what it's worth I did follow the procedures at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread....9306&tstart=90
    in order to make the messages migrate, but that failed to affect the rules.
    Thanks much,
    Jack

    Here's the fix, along with recommendations for Apple programmers.

  • Why do I have to keep logging into icloud on my mac to check my mail?  Why won't icloud save my info?, Why do I have to keep logging into icloud on my mac to check my mail?  Why won't icloud save my info?

    Everytime I open the icloud page I have to relog in with my username and password.  Even if I click "keep me signed it."  It is a royal pain. 
    On a similar note...how do I get my icloud mail account to open in imail like allof my other email accounts????   Thanks

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - assuming this to be correct, you need to set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email as detailed here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

  • Why won't mail open pps in keynote '09??

    Since I installed SL can anyone tell me why, whenever I open a powerpoint presentation in mail instead of opening keynote '09 it opens keynote test drive in version '08 (although I have already purchased '08 and '09 ) and have have both installed on my system. I don't understand why it won't use '09 to open pps docs. If anyone knows of a solution or workaround I would be most grateful.

    Thanks for that.
    I tried deleting the plist, then 'choosing to open with iwork '09 and change all but still it jumps back to the default '08.
    Is there any other way I can change the default to '09?

  • Why won't Mail.app connect to iCloud mail?

    I'm having a problem getting Mail app to connect to iCloud, iOS and iCloud web mail seem to be working fine with my @me.com/@iCloud.com address but Mail app on my mac is showing wh I try to add my account:
    The iCloud IMAP server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
    Gmail has/is connected fine, why not iCloud?
    Thanks!

    My internet connection is fine, but it won't let me change my incoming mail server to the icloud address. What do I do?
    When you set up an iCloud account, it should set the correct incoming and outgoing mail servers. Why do you wish to change the servers? What are they showing that you think is not correct?

  • Why won't Photoshop save Spot Channels?

    Okay so I've always had this issue.  I have some of my files as Spot Channels, some as Alpha, I save it, but I go to close it says the file isn't saved correctly.  If I save over it, it's fine when I open it back up, if I don't then the Alpha Channels are there but the Spot aren't.  I've mostly just dealt with this because it always asks and I couldn't find a quick solution.  I've recently upgraded to CC and the other day it didn't ask, which fortunately I was able to fix the file but was still a pain.  So now I'm worried about losing part of my files.  Why does it do that?  How can I fix it?  I'd rather not have to convert back to Alpha Channels if I don't have to.  I am running Yosemite, but it's done that for years.  Thanks.

    Oh and Spot Channels IS checked when I hit Save As. 

  • Why won't mail stay synced with iCloud?

    Every time I go into the settings for icloud and my email accounts the box for mail syncing is unchecked. So i check it again and as soon as i go out of that page and back in it is unchecked again. Why on earth is this happening? and how do i fix it?

    Same here, can someone enlighten me why mail does not want to stay checked in the iCloud prefs? As soon as I check the box Mail & Notes, it says starting, I close the window, reopen it and it is deselect again. Drives me nuts!
    I have one Apple ID, one account for as long as we had .mac addresses. Nothing weird or special. I must be missing something.
    My iPad1 and iPhone4 and MacbookAir it functions as it should except on my iMac.
    Running on both computers Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b) and the latest on IOS on the devices.
    Another thing that has me baffled is the double addressing when I start a new mail.
    It says from: [email protected] and next to it [email protected](icloud). Why?
    I still do not see any features in this iCloud business at all. Syncing my iPhone and iPad over wifi via iCloud is horrible slow and takes hours. Syncing and backing up to computer is blazing fast because of the FIOS. I'm still willing to give it a try but these issues have me baffled. If someone has the answer please let me know! ;-)

  • Why won't Mail under Exchange send large attachments?

    I upgraded my new iMac to Snow Leopard in large part because of its support for connecting to Exchange 2007 servers, which I use for my work. But I can't send attachments of any size.
    Setting it up in Mail seemed to go fine - I connect using a software VPN and am able to read emails - and also send emails via the Exchange server, but only if they're small - under 1MB, really. Anything bigger and they just won't send - the wheel by 'Sent' just spins and spins. My work IT helpdesk weren't much help - they just said this was a 'known issue' with Snow Leopard that they couldn't address. It doesn't appear to have been fixed by 10.6.2.
    What's going on here? It's clearly not a problem with email size limits on my work mail server, as I can use the webmail interface perfectly well, and also send emails from Outlook on my work PC, via the Exchange server. My other POP accounts set up in Mail also work fine.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Maybe your ISP has put a limit on the number of addresses per email in an effort to reduce spam. Or maybe you have an invalid address in the list and your email client aborts sending the email.

  • Why won't Photoshop save anything?

    For some reason Photoshop won't save anything. I'm using the older CS6 version. It was working previously but one day it went kaput. When I go to save something, no dialog comes up and Photoshop is pretty much frozen. I can click to bring the Photoshop program into the foreground but I keep getting that error sound. I have to kill it and restart, but it gives me the same problem. I reinstalled from my CS6 DVD but that won't help either.

    Since you mention it suddenly stopped working, I suggest resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.
