Mail problem in trying to reply to a message in El Capitan

Hello!

Since the upgrade to El Capitan, my mail is sometimes a bit unstable. His latest problem is that when I click on reply to an email, an empty message appears and cannot then be closed by clicking on the red button. I have to close Mail and reopen it. I can then close this message, but I find myself with a message in the drafts folder, which should also be deleted. I try to answer again and sometimes the message opens correctly and other times, I get another empty message and must go through the same procedure. If she continues on several occasions, I restart the computer and it works normally. This is a default intermittent and very annoying. I ran the first aid in disk utility and my OS and Mail seem to be the latest versions, so I don't know what could be the cause, or how I could solve it. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to fix this please?

Thank you

Stuart

I have exactly the same problem and it is driving me crazy.

    I have an email in my outlook express (BOX SENT) that I can't remove. When I try it freezes the computer. It was an e-mail I was trying to send

    and it has been sent. Someone knows how to remove it.

    Check for working offline and see if it will delete, or else create a new Outbox and sent items folder.

    Follow these steps for the Outbox, sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create. Just don't touch the problem message so OE will not freeze.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the Outbox.dbx and Sent Items.dbx file and remove them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    To avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Do you mean that you forgot the password to configure email ID? If so use the forgotten password link if you remember your username. If you don't remember that contact and then your support operator representative and ask them to provide your username.

  • Conexion using Yahoo Mail problem

    Since the last update I can´t connect to my yahoo mail. I tried with my gmail and hotmail mails and they work fine, just the a doesn´t yahoo get connection to the server.

    I checked if I could still by mail through the yahoo site and I have had no problems, it s so something has changed with Thunderbird.

    The next thing that I suggest is recreate the email account in Thunderbird. If you use POP, first make sure that you copy the emails from this account in your local folders.

    Delete the account Yahoo of Thunderbird. Close, and then restart Thunderbird. Create the account Yahoo from scratch, by ensuring that the server settings are correct according to their Web site.

  • Mail problems

    Hi guys,.

    My client was complaining of mail problems - they run on Outlook on a PC, and they get intermittent pop up to tell the server has expired or it requires an update of the name of user and password.


    I tried Tech Support and they said that everything has worked fine.

    However, now that I think about it, my e-mail does similar things - where from time to time he will ask me to update my name of user and password e-mail due to internal server problems (see screenshot).

    I need to be able to provide my customer responses and solutions to these questions as soon as POSSIBLE.  I was refereing to Business Catalyst for all the sites people, that I'm building, but I am not a computer scientist, nor have I taken into account in THIS service in my quote with my client - so this work IT's cost me money!

    Please help ASAP!

    Currently working with you on this case.

  • You reply to a message in mail causes the original message to disappear

    Over the past two days, when I answer some messages in Apple mail (linked to a Google mail account), it removes the original message and watch my answer in the Inbox - how can I stop this? It seems that the original message is deleted from everywhere on Mac if it is still in all messages if I look on my iPad.

    Spin OSX El Capitan on a Macbook Air.

    Hello TImG9,

    Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

    As I understand it, while using Apple Mail, after you reply to a message, the original message is more visible and your answer is displayed in the Inbox.  I know how much we all count on our email so it is important that it works the way we expect.

    Before doing anything, the first thing I would do is all that is on the backup computer. Nothing that I will propose should result in no data loss, but it's always a good idea to have a backup.  Your computer has software called Time Machine.  It is a fantastic software for backing up your computer.  Information on how to use Time Machine is available here:

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

    Then go through the steps given here:

    Address postal (El Capitan): If messages seem to be missing

    If you get to the step of having to recreate the mailbox, follow the link to the previous document or click here:

    Address postal (El Capitan): rebuild the mailboxes

    Have a great day!

  • Mysterious Apple's Mail problem

    I have a problem in Apple Mail that I can't diagnose. I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a new Mac Pro. As I was info my old mac to the new migration, I noticed that nearly half of the 2-3 years value of messages in my "Sent" mailbox have been replaced by an image I call "the swami smiling." This image originally arrived in my Inbox in a legitimate-looking email from an episode of sender known 6 months ago. I have run ClamXav. He finds nothing wrong. Any ideas how this could happen, what it could be or what I need to do?

    Try to rebuild the mailbox.

    Rebuild the mailbox

    If this does not work, try re-indexing of mailboxes mailbox. This can take some time if you have a lot of mail.

    Reindex messages        For El Capitan, try looking in V3.

  • I have 3 short videos I tried emailing stuck in Outbox of my iPhone 6. They tried to send more than an hour. I can't delete them, "Change" is not available in the Outbox. How can I get rid of these so mail will stop trying?

    I have 3 short videos I tried emailing stuck in Outbox of my iPhone 6. They tried to send more than an hour. I can't delete them, "Change" is not available in the Outbox. How can I get rid of these so mail will stop trying?

    Can drag you across the message in the Outbox overview to get the Red delete button? It's been a while since I had paste an email in the Outbox, so I don't remember if that's possible.

    IF your account is an IMAP account, try to delete the e-mail on the Mac. Actions sync between devices in IMAP email, so they should be in the Outbox on the server and you should be able to get to them in the Mail from Mac application, use you it, or in a web browser on the server.

    IF this is not possible for some reason, try the mail application to the phone reboots and the closing force force the phone and then try again. Press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used. Blow up the Swipe on application brief mail app to close

    To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  • Someone know if 10.11.3 corrects mail problems or makes it worse?

    As any search for "El Capitan mail problems" reveals, there are myriads of problems with the original "up" grade, which have not been resolved in versions 11.1 and 11.2. Before I go through another update, can we say if ONE of these problems (breaks down, blocking issue, folders and messages being messed up, etc.) have been fixed? Or he got worse?

    I have not seen any of these problems on my Mac. Problems of Mail? If this is not the case, make sure that your backups are up to date and run the software update. Those who can should be on 10.11.3, because older versions of 10.11 have security holes in them that Apple has made known to everyone here: about the security content of OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and security update 2016-001 - Apple Support

  • Error: Copy Photos "Windows has encountered a problem wen trying to copy this file.

    original title: copy files confuses computer!

    When I try to copy photos on my drive E or D (which I've done a thousand times) it now says ' widows has encountered a problem when trying to copy this file "... What do you do? ".. . as I have a shaky choice! ' cos it gives the options... How *, it's that ' cos they must be aware of * advertising but feel so safe in their ivory towers! What's wrong. Help, please. MikeW

    There are two approaches you can take.

    One solution: you can copy files into smaller "chunks" until you identify the file that causes the error, and then try to find out what is the problem with this file.

    Another solution is to download the program "Robust copy" (Robocopy) to Microsoft and it allows to copy your files.  You download and install in the Windows 2003 Resource Kit (works fine on XP).

    Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit:
    <>http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=17657 >

    Once installed, you can open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
    Robocopy "C:\photos" 'E:\photos' /R:5 / s
    Where "C:\photos" will be replaced by the source directory, and the 'E:\photos' is the destination directory.  the "/ S" option will copy the subdirectories and the R:5 option retries 5 times on error before moving on to the next file.  Errors should be displayed on the screen and I found errors of command line to be more descriptive than GUI errors.  There are a lot more options, but this should help you get started.

    You see a lot of messages in the Inbox? You can move them?
     
    1. Save your messages before you do anything. You can do this by creating a new identity and import all of your messages. Do this and then come back to the identity of the problem.
    2. Create folders and move messages from the Inbox to them.
    3. Compact of the Inbox.
    Messages that you weren't see appear today? If it isn't...
     
     
    You may need to run in the extract from disk Mode if its normal recovery mode fails to find lost messages.

    whenever I click on and read an email, then email out and come back, the email I had been displayed disappears!  In addition, they are all marked as "unread" again when I return.  This started just past a few days ago and continues to do so.  I change all the settings at all.  no idea what is the problem?

    no idea why the messages are deleted

    Still, you didn't say if you did:

    View | Current view. Show all Messages is checked and nothing else?

    However, this is not the reason for the message becomes marked unread.
