Why won't Mail save stationery? with OS X Lion

I have checked
Why won't Mail save stationery?
but it applies for Lepoard so what about Lion?
Any Help? I did remove all the signature yet, still cannot save it.

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 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

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.

TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

hi guys,
I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

TS4644 why won't "Mail" store my password for the iCloud email account?

(It's mildly irritating that I have to enter it each time it starts up - and slightly more irritating that I can't save it anywhere)

Go to the Accounts tab of Mail’s Preferences and click the Advanced tab. From here, check the Authentication dropdown. If the active selection is not Apple Token, change it.

Why Won't Mail Retain Signatures Copied From One Account to Another?

I maintain two accounts in Apple Mail: 1) my Exchange account for work, and 2) my .Me account for personal email. My Exchange account has five signatures. Thrice now, I've attempted to add four of the signatures from my Exchange account to my .Me account. Apple Mail seems to make the addition, however, after shutting down Apple Mail and relaunching it, my .Me account is back to 0 signatures. Has anyone else noticed Apple Mail refusing to retain signatures in accounts?

Let me clarify what you have done, and whether that matches the way Signatures work. There is only one data base of Signatures, and they are composed in Mail Preferences/Signatures. After a Signature has been composed and added to the data base of Signatures, then it must become associated with an account for it to be related to that account. The same Signature can become associated with more than one account, and the method of association is to drag a Signature onto an account name in the Sidebar to the Signatures window.
At the top of the Sidebar is All Signatures, if you then click on each account below that, then it will be reported which Signatures have been associated with that one account.
Is this what you have done?

Why won't Mail 8.1 access my SMTP Account for Yahoo mail?

Today a brand new problem. Incoming mail from my Yahoo mail account to Mail v8.1 is fine, but Mail cannot login to or send via the SMTP account for outgoing mail. When I run the Mail Connection Doctor all it tells me is I am connected to Yahoo! POP for incoming, but not to SMTP for outgoing. It all worked yesterday. Any idea what is happening here and how to fix it?

You might want to update your profile to the OS you are using. It helps people trying to help you. Are you using Yosemite?

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 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.

It use to, even if I had a lot more addresses ... but now it won't. I keep trimming out how many recipients/friends I have, but to no avail.
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 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 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?
