Why won't the Mail app message list font change?

I am on Lion at home and at work. Using the new 3 pane layout in the Mail app. On both machines, when I go to preferences>fonts & colors> I can change all the fonts BUT the message list. No matter what I do it doesn't change. Is this a bug or just a factor of the new layout?

Sorry about the lack of information.
Yep, mailbox behaviour is sent to "store sent messages on the server". This is happening, though, other primary IMAP accounts. And yes, it's been since Mountain Lion. Sometimes the messages show under the account, other times they don't. There is no sense to the randomness of it. Is there a way to "reset" all of my mail accounts without losing all of my stored mail?

Why won't the mail app load my emails?

I have been problems with my mail app for a while now. It will not download any new emails from my AOL account. I have tried deleting the account from the app and resetting it up. Still no luck. Can any one help?
-Thanks

I told it to "Sync wiht AOL" and checked a little while later and it looks like it worked. My MacBook is now caught up on emails.
Thanks for the views.

Mail app quits when opened after installing Mavericks. I reinstalled and still the same. I noticed the mail app icon has not changed to the new icon in Mavericks. Any suggestions?

I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

Why won't my Mail app. open after updating to 10.4.4?

I updated my powerbook G4 to 10.4.4. After restarting Apple's Mail application refused to open from my dock. I then tried to launch it by double clicking on the icon in the application folder. It pops up a dialog box which says, "The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click on the 'Reopen' button the dialog box goes away and another one pops up which says, "The application Mail quit unexpectedly after it was opened. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Try Again to temporarily restore the application's default settings and open it again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click on the 'Try Again' button a new window opens called 'New Account' which 'guides' me through the necessary steps to set up my mail account. When I click 'continue' a new window opens which asks for my user name and also my .Mac account password. Once I enter this info I click on the 'continue' button and it logs into .Mac and gives me an Account Summary so it's acting like everthing is okay until I press the 'continue' button and then I get the same error message as before: "The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."
I downloaded the freeware program called Preferential Treatment by Jonathan Nathan in hopes it would remove a damaged Mail .plist file. No dice - no problems with Mail prefrence files according to this software. I'm at a loss of what to do next. I read that someone else had a similiar problem - I don't know what to do next. Any help would be really appreciated as I use my Mail program constantly. Thanks! Oh, also when entering this Post and describing my system the OS menu provided does not allow me to select OS 10.4.4. I'm sure that will be udated soon.

Why won't the iTunes app on the iPad and iPhone let me shut off new download email notifications?

I have a few new season passes. Each one came, of course, with email notifications of new episodes. I'm able to turn those notifications off through the iTunes store interface on my laptop. But when I try to shut them off on my iPhone or iPad, the app lets me get all the way to toggling the notification option to "off" and pressing "done" before saying that the iTunes store "cannot process [my] request at this time."
Here's what I've done to try and fix the issue so far:
1. Logged out of, and back into, my account on the iTunes store;
2. Turned my iOS devices off and back on again;
3. Made sure my iOS and iTunes software was completely up to date; and
4. Contacted Apple customer support.
That last option produced the following advice from Apple's representatives:
A. Log out of, and back into, your account on the iTunes store;
B. Turn your iOS devices off and back on again;
C. Update iTunes to the latest version;
D. Update your iPad and iPhone to the latest iOS version;
E. Use another app that does the same thing as iTunes;
F. Uninstall and re-install the iTunes app; and
G. Let us know if the problem persists.
When I let Apple know that (1) my account functions just fine on the full iTunes program, (2) the software on my devices is completely up to date, (3) both iOS devices continued to suffer the same problem after multiple restarts, and (4) options E-F don't appear to be possible without jailbreaking, a representative referred me to Apple's webpages on generic iPad troubleshooting. She also admonished me not to jailbreak my iPhone or iPad because they'd then be jailbroken---and that's bad.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? How did you fix it? Apart from just using the full iTunes program, that is---I don't take my laptop on the road with me when I travel, which can be for weeks at a time, so I'd like to be able to shut these notifications off through the app interface if at all possible.
Thanks very much for your help and suggestions!

Why won't the Mail PDF print option work anymore?

I have been trying to mail PDF files, but when I select that option from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialog box, nothing happens. Can anyone help?
Jon

No, no Adobe Reader here.
I did find an interesting workaround:
Make an alias to the Mail application
Put the alias in ~/Library/PDF Services
Give it a catchy name
It then shows up in the print dialog's PDF menu (along with the "Mail PDF" workflow) and performs essentially the same function, but without the annoying fail. A side effect (a bonus to me, for arcane reasons) is that the mail message defaults to plain text -- the standard workflow creates a rich text document.

Why won't the Mac App Store let me update iMovie to version 9.0.6?

I just received my new MacBook Pro with Retina display today. I ran through the setup process including Migration Assistant for everything. (from 2011 iMac) I received a notifiction from the Mac App Store this evening stating that an update was available for iMovie. When I clicked on the update button, a message appeared stating that I had to sign in with the account that I used to purchase the app in order to update it. This made no sense to me, considering that the app came pre-installed on the machine. I was thinking it might have something to do with Migration Assistant but when I checked iMovie on my iMac it had already been updated to the most current version. (9.0.6) I also checked my account information. It was correct. I also tried signing in with another Apple ID I have. None of this worked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Whatever you do DO NOT UPGRADE. Check out the reviews on the App Store and the Web for this version. The App will not let you finalize your project (render it to 1080p) or share it in any format you ask it to. Effectively all you end up with is the ability to see it on your MacBook and an error message saying "Sharing requires more memory to be available" I have an i7 iMac with 16 GB and that is not enough?
I replaced my ageing MacBook Pro about two months ago before the retina display came in. Jealous or what?

Why won't the music app work after the IOS 7.1 update?

Every time i try to listen to my music in the Apple Music app it opens then freezes. Sometimes it will let me open an artist but wont play the songs. I tried going into the settings to see if i could change anything but it wont let me open the music settings tab, the button just turns gray and freezes my phone. I've tried force quitting the app and re starting my phone and nothing has worked.

Hello mbongi1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music app on your iPhone. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already to isolate and troubleshoot the issue. I have a couple of additional suggestions you can try.
First, I recommend resetting your iPhone:
Reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after resetting your iPhone, I recommed backing up and restoring your iPhone:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Can the Mail App color scheme be changed in Yosemite

Can you change the color scheme/theme in Yosemite Mail app? If yes, how do your do this.

The answer is "Sort of."
You can set Mail to automatically delete *every message retrieved from Hotmail* into Mail after the specified time period, so that the copy retrieved into (Apple) Mail is _the only_ copy.
Then, when you delete the retrieved Hotmail message from Mail, it's gone. But (depending on the timeframe you select) it was already gone from Hotmail, just by retrieving it into Mail.
1) In Mail, Preferences, select the Hotmail account.
2) In the Advanced tab, check 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message'
and then the additional option *Immediately, After one day, After one week, or After one month.*
3) Note that only messages coming into the Hotmail Inbox are retrieved and then removed. If you have set filters in Hotmail to put specified messages into Hotmail folders, they will NOT be retrieved into Mail.
4) Messages that Hotmail puts into the Hotmail Junk folder are NOT retrieved into the Mail junk folder either.

Why won't Mac Mail receive messages from Yahoo?

I use Mac Mail as an IMAP on both my MBA (OS X 10.6.2) and MBP (OS X 10.6.8). My MBA also syncs with my Dad's MobileMe account. About 4 weeks ago my MBA spontaneously stopped receiving mail from my Yahoo account (and sending...sometimes). It thinks a lot and sometimes even shows me it's about to start downloading emails but it doesn't follow through and they never show up in the inbox. The sound for no mail goes off when it finally finishes thinking. Now my MBP stopped receiving mail today as well - same symptoms. (My Dad's MobileMe is the only email account still working.) I can see the new emails on the server and my BlackBerry so my guess is that it's a Mac Mail problem. What gives? How do I fix?

Pressed "Rebuild" and nothing happened.
Did you have that account highlighted?
Well, don't know much about Mail in 10.7, but here's my 10.4/10.5 notes...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Why won't my mail app on my iphone5 run

One day I hit mail icon and mail wouldn't come up.......any ideas why or how to fix?

Program flashed and instantly returned me to main screen. I tried a few things, none of which helped. I have since restored from an old iCloud backup. Must have been some kind of bug. Thanks for your concern

Hello Eric.
Thank you for your Reply. I found out the problem was with the USB cable supplied. I swopped it for a different one and the Colorfly C3 icon appeared on the desktop.

Why does the Mail.app CC: field puts me first on the CC: list although I was not ?

Why does the Mail.app CC: field always rearranges the list so I am first on the CC: list although the sender intentionally did not ?
I did not see how and where to de-activate this unnecessary intrusion in the company's communication codes.
iOS on my iphone, correctly leaves my name where it is in the CC: list.

Hi starbux48,
Yahoo! partnered with Apple to allow an IMAP style offering on the iPhone, free of charge for their users. However that feature is only available if you use the iPhone. If you want IMAP/POP access on computers then you'd need to upgrade to the Plus level account.

Recently bought a used iphine 4s whiped it clean started fresh but ever sin e i got it the mail app reads that i have 98 messages i open it and it just shows white screen amd wont do anythingo

why cant i read my mail in the mail app? It shows i have 98 messages but ehen opened just shows a white screen

Try quitting the Mail app and reset your device. To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
