Yosemite imac mail

Running yosemite 10.10 on my iMac. Mail does fetch new emails.
Can this be fixed? How can I download a new version of the Mail app for my iMac?

My error. I had used:
https://miapple.me/fixing-mac-os-x-10-10-yosemite-gmail-bug-mail-app/
but did not realize that my Gmail account needed to be put back on line.
In the Mail app, next to the Google inbox was a small icon on the right hand side.
I clicked on it and it asked me if I wanted to put Google back on line.
Now Mail is fetching new emails correctly.

IMAC Mail App will not open

Hi. I have an iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) using OSX Yosemite. Version is 10.10.2. My MAC mail app hangs instantly it is opened. The app doesn't appear on the screen at all. I need to right click the icon and force quit.
The problem started around 3 weeks ago when I was working in mail and it hung. I had to force quit and since then it won't even open.
I tried Repair permissions in Disk Utililty, Recovery Mode and Repair Disk but to no avail. Have also downloaded Yosemite 10.10.2 combo and installed over the top of current system but no change.
Very grateful for suggestions on what to do next. I do not have a full system back up however all music, photos and Microsoft Office Docs that I want are backed up on clouds. Can I for instance go back to a previous operating system and go through the upgrades again? How would I do that?

I'd see if you can get it fixed here. Reverting and then upgrading again takes time and you need a good backup.
Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

IMac mail SENT BOX problems

I posted in October my problems with iMac mail in that some emails I send do not appear in my Sent folder. In fact they do not appear anywhere, trash, junk, bulk mail etc. In the case of business emails this can prove to be serious. I have spent a total of nearly five hours on the phone to Apple at considerable cost. In each case they took over my PC but still the problem persists. I did learn during these sessions that the mail service on iMac is different from that on iPhones and iPads where my same email service (Sky Yahoo) works perfectly.
Why can't Apple come clean and accept this systemic fault on iMacs mail (others have reported it also) and really do something to put it right? I have spent nearly £1,200 plus phone calls on my iMac and certainly expect it to put Sent emails into my Sent folder. There is a fault obviously with the iMac mail service which I thought Yosemite had corrected but it is still hiding some Sent emails although not quite as bad as at one time - may be one in ten. But it is always that one ing ten which is the most important.

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Rebuild mailbox
Two possible workarounds.
1. If the account is an IMAP account, Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors - see if there is a Store send messages on server option.
2. CC/BCC yourself and then create a mailbox under On My Mac where you can drag sent e-mails to for storage.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
Mail Feedback
Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

HT4855 iMac mail open and mouse has frozen on screen, new batteries in mouse..no change. turning iMac off and back on ..no change. need advice asap

Imac mail open and mouse has frozen on screen...please advise?

The Mac uses an "All devices active" philosophy with pointing devices and keyboards.
If you have additional pointing devices attached, especially a graphics tablet, it is still directing mouse operations at the same time as the mouse you have your hand on. The end result is the SUM of commands from all such devices.

Imac mail send stuck

Sent an email with a large attachment (27mb). It is stuck. No error messages. Can still receive mail (MobileMe) in IMac mail app. Just cannot send. Sent Mailbox shows a clock image at 1 o'clock.

Please very carefully read and use Apple's Can receive email, but not send email advice letter.

I have the same problem. The mail app doesn't work properly. Either cannot connected to the server or fail to connect. But the network is totally find and work well as i can open website.
Another problem is sync to the software, like Evernote, nustore, fail to connect to the server, cannot sync anymore.

On my new iMac, mail has no sound after waking from sleep. If I select do not wake for network access in general preferences, the problem does not occur. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Same here on an older iMac since Lion. Thanks for the uncheck wake for network access tip though, it doesn't do it either in that case, I will leave it that way.

Hi Nuch1,
I found an article that is contains very thorough Mail troubleshooting steps:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
You can use that article to figure out what part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, and it can also help you attempt to resolve it.
Hope that helps,
David

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program?

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program? Also, mail is sometimes slow to load in mornings on my iMac after it has appeared on my iPhone. I temporarily solved that by shutting down and reopening mail two or three times.

I have the same problem on my iMac. Most of what it puts in the "junk folder" is junk. I delete all of the messages in the folder and they're back the next time I check it. I have messages in that folder that have were received 2 months ago! I'm thinking of unchecking "junk folder" in preferences. Very frustrating.

カーソルバグ mac OS 10.10.1 (YOSEMITE) / iMac(27inch, Late 2013) / Photoshop CS5・CS6

mac OSのバージョンをYOSEMITEにアップグレードしてから
Photoshop CS5・CS6に共通して出始めた症状なのですが
解決法が見つからず困っています。
【症状】
コピースタンプなどのペイント系のツールを使用する際、
カーソルのポインタが「ブラシサイズの表示」と「矢印表示」を
チカチカと交互に繰り返して表示してしまい、非常に作業がしづらい状況に。
※チカチカしている状態の画像を掲載したいのですが、
　カーソルを止めてしまうと収まってしまうため
　スクリーンショットがとれませんでした。
【症状発生まで】
アプリケーション立ち上げ時は、症状が出ないのですが
他のアプリケーション（illustlator等）と併用した場合に
症状が出始め、環境設定のカーソルの設定を変更しても
症状が治まらなくなってしまいます。
また、アプリケーションを再起動しても症状が出てしまいます。
現状の解決方法は、macそのものを再起動するという方法しかなく
カーソルの表示バグが出るたびに再起動を行っている状況です。
解決方法ご存知の方がいらっしゃいましたら
教えていただけましたら幸いです。
よろしくお願いいたします。

My iPhone is downloading an odd email here and there that doesn't appear on my iMac mail at work.Just read an email on my iPhone that I received at 6.00 this morning.checked my iPhone settings for mail,delete after download is off so not sure whats wrong.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

How to sync iphone 5 contacts to iMac Mail?

How can I sync my iPhone 5 contacts to my iMac so I can use the contacts when writing emails from iMac Mail?
I have backed up my iPhone to the iMac however I cannot find a way to transfer the contents of my contacts from the phone to the iMac.
Please help?? I am having to type in the email address each and every time I write a new email from iMac Mail. Very frustrating.
I'm sure there's an easy way to do this. I just cannot work it out.

Hello Linda.Ven,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you'd like to have your contacts sync between your iPhone and iMac, then I highly recommend using iCloud. It will seamlessly keep your contacts, and other data if you choose, up to date across all of your capable devices. If you'd like to learn more about how to set up iCloud, please see the link below.

Have a good one,

Yosemite Apple Mail tells me one of my gmail servers is offline. I can receive but not send.

I have 3 Gmail accounts on my MacBook Pro which has recently been updated to Yosemite OS x 10.10.1
Storage 1TB. RAM 8GB
Internet access (Webmail) works fine on all my gmail accounts, so the servers are definitely online
I am now having trouble with Apple Mail and my main Gmail account
I can receive e-mails OK but am unable to send
Mail keeps telling me the smtp.gmail.com server is offline and I should verify my user name and password
On Webmail I am able to both send and receive emails
It seems the problem lies with Apple Mail
I have tried the app specific password a couple of times
It doesn't work
I have tried connection doctor and everything is green except outgoing smtp which just spins
Today, another of my gmail accounts is showing the same problem
Is there a conflict between Yosemite Apple mail and Gmail?
It's a long winded workaround, but can I set up a shortcut to webmail on all three accounts and dispense with Apple Mail?

There's a sequence of steps in the support article for each of several possible scenarios of a connection failure in Mail. Please describe in detail what happened when you followed the applicable sequence all the way to the very end, without skipping any of the steps. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.

Is it possible to get my email folders from my iMac mail tool up to my icloud account?

Is it possible to get my email folders from my iMac mail tool up to my icloud account?
I would like to access my mail tool folders while I am traveling overseas with my ipad.
Alternately, is it possible to get my mail tool folders onto my ipad?
imac: Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
mail tool: Version 5.3

Your iCloud cannot access other accounts. You can set up the Mail app on your iPad to access other accounts just the same as on your Mac - the only issue might be with the ISP who provides your internet connection, as some services require you to be actually connected to them to send, and possibly even to receive though that would be more unusal.
If any of your other accounts provide webmail you could use that.
Otherwise you could set up forwarding on the other accounts so that messages are sent on to your iCloud account (I should set it to leave a copy on the original server) - however you cannot send using anything other than your iCloud email address as the 'From' address using iCloud outgoing server.
As to existing messages, if the account is IMAP then the messages can be accessed from any device that signs into the account; if the account is POP then received messages live on your Mac. You can copy them up to iCloud in the Mail application on your Mac by creating a new folder or folders on iCloud and then dragging the messages to these folders - hold the option key down to retain the messages on your Mac and duplicate them to iCloud. Move messages, not folders, and don't try to move a huge amount at a time. Remember that they will take up space on your iCloud account.

Yosemite Server Mail and Google Domain Relay

I want to simply use the server to send automated emails from scripts. I have server installed. Over the course of two days I've have followed several posts:
http://www.anujgakhar.com/2011/12/09/using-macosx-lion-command-line-mail-with-gm ail-as-smtp/
http://blog.anupamsg.me/2012/02/14/enabling-postfix-for-outbound-relay-via-gmail -on-os-x-lion-11/
And the updated Yosemite version here:

Yosemite Server configuration
http://krypted.com/mac-security/configure-the-os-x-yosemite-server-mail-service/
I've gotten no where. In my last attempt all sasl errors and no mech connections had stopped but mail did not appear to go anywhere. No trace. I stumbled across a post that said ssl connections from Mac OS X Yosemite are broken and just don't work.
Now the real rub. I have gotten the same thing working with Linux in 5 minutes following this post:
https://rtcamp.com/tutorials/linux/ubuntu-postfix-gmail-smtp/
Then within an hour my crontab and scripts were written, debugged, and blissfully sending email.
I would rather run this from my Mac server. I understand that this may become an in-depth discussion/debug session (remember the old sendmail.cf day?!) and would greatly appreciate someone's mentoring here.

Hi,
maybe it helps or not, I solve a other performance problem which is more related to the mailbox speed but this error on client side is gone afterwards:
In Yosemite there is still also a problem with the automatic settings detection in Mail.
That means that the application try's to find a working authentication mechanism in combination with different ports and encryption.
So far so good, this feature would be okay but the application never stops to do that. So we are shortly connected but the connection becomes invalid again.
This leads to performance issues and the application becomes very slow!
If you refer your client log file maybe you can see some "Failed to start the SASL connection" issues (coming from Mail.app).
In case that you are running a OS X Server which is used by Mail you will see in /var/log/mail* /Library/Logs/mail* various login failures. In case that you have enabled the Adaptive Firewall it can be happen that your IP is blocked for 15 minutes.
Of course this must not be a issue for everyone I believe it strongly depends on your email server / provider which auth. stuff is supported or enabled.
To solve it:
1.) Open the Mail Preferences
2.) Goto "Accounts" and select your Provider/Account
3.) Klick Enhanced (the last right tab)
4.) Disable the automatic settings detection (first checkbox)
5.) In case you didn't enable "MailDrop"
This works in Mail 8.1 on Yosemite 10.10.1
