For some time I used a Canadian outfit for my mail (fastmail.fm). IMAP worked perfectly with them. Then I switched to .Mac out of corporate loyality. Sadly, I found out recently that .Mac doesn't sync sent mail when using IMAP, unlike fastmail. This is a royal pain in the derrièr. I just...

1.25Ghz, Mac Mini, New Switcher Hi, I use Apple Mail with an AOL smtp account, and four or five POP accounts. Is there any way to set ONE general password to allow a user unrestricted access to Mail? That is, when I open Mail, I will be asked to enter my password and when that's done, I...

I filed a bug report with Apple when I discovered this spectacular bug in Tiger 10.4.2, Mail Version 2.0.3 (734). It only applies if you are using an IMAP server and you are using the folder synchronization option from the Advanced tab of Account setup. If you do NOT store your email in your...

Hi--am running version 10.3.9 and am having trouble with the mail program. When I try to launch it, the program gets stuck at 'reading table of contents" with the dreaded endlessly spinning wheel. I have tried to rebuild everything by moving the IMAP folder in my mail preferences to the...

Hello there, Our Mail App (running 10.4.2 on a G-4 PowerPC) seems to be having a nervous breakdown. Starting on 10/22, we stopped getting any mail in our 2 inboxes. By accident, I discovered that it was ending up in Junk. Checking the Apple Support discussion board, I saw that other folks...

Have checked and double checked preferences for Entourage - still cannot see headings, etc, embedded in mail - merely boxes w/ an X in each one. Is it a compatability problem or am I not aware of something? - thanks!

I recently purchased Office:mac 2004. I can receive mail on my Outlook Express mailbox but can't send mail. I have a POP dial-up account with Earthlink. The outgoing path I entered is: smtpauth.earthlink.net:wallauer@teleport.com. I don't know why this works with my other mailbox but...

I have read some of the threads re compaction errors in mac.mail. Ive just started getting this. My G4 (80gb) has generally been slowing down of late, crashing etc. But memory available is 21gb so i shouldnt be suffering from memory starvation yet should I? Also some threads refer to compaction...

I am using an iBook G3 600 MHz running Mac OS X 10.4.2 and Mac Mail ver 2.0. Recently when I click on the trash my deleted e-mails will show up and then disappear. When I try to locate the deleted messages they will not show up. I looked in my Mail folder in my Library folder and the messages...

I have been using mac's mail app for some time without problem. Today, it freezes when loaded, and has to be force Quit. I can't get to the point to see if somehow an email setup has gone awry, and it is doing a send/receive on loading, or any other troubleshooting. imac g5; tiger...

I followed advice given to Jackie about Compaction error, dragging mail file to desk top. I created new folders to replace those in the old mail folder. But when i tried to import only one folder imported successfully. When i tried to choos the others a message says mailbox not found or invalid...

My mail program refuses to send any mails containing attachment. It starts and after a few percents stops. Has anybody a hint on what to do to fix the problem. PS: Another computer on the same network under 10.2.8 and with the same mail account has no problems sendind attachments.

Some mac mail I send OS to perfectly legit e-mail adresses is returned as undeliverable, where I have not had this trouble before. Even occurs to adresses I have successfully mailed before. Meanwhile if I send from within hotmail such mail goes through. I'd rather not use Hotmail its a pain...

I set up my mail application (the one the Ibook G4 comes with) to send and receive my email from my yahoo account. I had a hard time getting it going, first I could receive and not send, then I could send and not receive. Now I can do neither. It only worked for less than a day before it stopped...

Several problems that appear to be related to the install of the 10.4.2 combo upgrade that I did about two weeks ago. First noticed with Mail that 'reply' and 'reply all' buttons do not respond when clicked. 'Forward' and 'New' will respond and bring up new message to which addresses and...

Hi, I recently became aware of the fact that Mail search field does not return anything at all for search strings typed in there. The default 'view' is All Mail Boxes and Entire Message. I have tried it with all sort of search strings, including the ones I know definitely exists. Whereas...

Is there any way to change the font and font size of the email headers? you can change everything else but not this it seems. McMacuser

I have a PowerBook G4, with OS X 10.4.2. The Mail app (I think version 2.0) has stopped working since yesterday. If I try to launch it, the window opens and then it hangs without retrieving e-mail. In fact, it doesn't respond and has to be force quitted. Have tried reboot and repair...
