Mail rules 'no mailbox not selected' madness

I used a set of rules to mail in Mail.app 50 for about ten years now. He has always been a struggle. Mysteriously disabled mail rules and many other problems. But now the whole system is just crazy completely. Desperately, I ask someone to help me, please.

Most of my mail rules moves e-mail to specific mailboxes. Mail is synchronized via iCloud to multiple computers. A desktop at home and work and a laptop computer. The first symptom of the problem is when my desk at work suddenly not said for each mail rule "no mailbox selected. It was pretty boring, so I restored all the manually. It's about an hour's work. Then I noticed that my office at home and my laptop had the same problem.

My questions are:

1. How can I get the correct e-mail rules that I set on the desk to my other computers?

2. How can I save my e-mail rules so that I can reload them from a backup in the future.

The natural response to 1 should be: they will be automatically synchronized via iCloud. But they do not. I've tried their reload from a backup time machine at home and copy the files under my desk in my home office (?) manually [I assumed the corresponding files are

SyncedRules

RulesActiveState

UnsyncedRules

SyncedFilesInfo

in ~/Library/Mail/V3/Maildata]

It did not work. I tried to turn off synchronization iCloud home and removed all of the Maildata folder. I thought that this would reset all the rules. But no: after this operation, all the rules were always there, disabled, but with "no mailbox selected. It's like the head of a Hydra Cup... Now, I'm desperate. How can I reset Mail completely to its original state, and is there any hope it will then download the correct rules of iCloud?

But there is more folly. If I change one of the "no mailbox selected" to the mailbox (I use IMAP), then all THE "no element of selected mailbox" is changed for this particular mailbox, so that after this moment my rules 49 50 mail are bad, and all mail would disappear in the wrong mailbox.

And on top of that, there is a problem, I already reported twice to Apple in the past: during this process, the lower part of the mail rule Panel slides slowly up to hide himself behind the top of the Panel. Then the mailbox user selection button no longer, and you leave Mail for this problem.

I have the same problem.  Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you

  • Mail vip list does not display messages from all mailboxes

    When I first put in place, I remember having the option to display the messages in all mailboxes - a really useful facility VIP. Recently, I noticed that most of my personalities was empty, but the messages were still there in their individual files. I followed the advice of aid to click Sort by Date, and then choose 'all the mailboxes' but this option does not appear. Moving messages of certain dignitaries other files back to Inbox makes it immediately visible in the Vips. So now, if I want my VIP lists for any use I leave everything in my Inbox, which is just chaotic and defeated the object to have folders for businesses, etc. It's only happened recently - it is connected to an upgrade or something similar, I wonder?

    Hi Boxmakermichael,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple! I'm sorry to hear that you're having these problems with mail. If you encounter problems with the function of VIP mailbox in Mail, you can find the information in the following articles useful:

    Address postal (El Capitan): search for messages from senders of VIP

    Mail (El Capitan): Mailboxes clever use to organize messages

    By default, the built-in VIP mailbox only checks emails from VIP which are currently in the Inbox, not in other boxes to letters or records either locally on the server. If you have e-mail set up a rule to move emails from specific VIPs in their own folders (or are moving them manually), it is probably why you don't see them in the VIP mailbox and why they reappear when you your choice in the Inbox.

    See the 'All the mailboxes' option "Sort by Date", you must select the individual mailbox the VIP under "VIP".  If your VIP example is 'Joe', select the 'Joe' mailbox then you will see the option "all the mailboxes.

    If you don't want not organized these emails in separate folders and view them all in a folder of VIP, however, there is a fairly simple solution. As mentioned in the article above, the integrated VIP mailbox is simply a mailbox smart who is set to pick up the mail of VIPs in your Inbox. While you can't change the settings of this particular mailbox, you can create a new box smart letters (called, for example, 'VIP'), where the only criteria is "Sender's VIP", without any limitation on the message tracking. This should then display all of your emails from senders of VIP, regardless of what box mailbox or a folder they are in. I hope it's useful and please let us know how it works.

    See you soon

  • Apple Mail rules do not work with iCloud and shipping

    I have recently started using iCloud as my primary e-mail for IMAP and SMTP service.  However, I always have my e-mail account non-Apple of active origin with a setup of the redirector to point to my iCloud email.  I also put my answer use the original non-Apple e-mail.  This configuration works very well except that the e-mail rules don't seem to work on forwarded e-mail messages.

    When you use the iCloud SMTP server, from Apple Mail or from the site from iCloud, you can use your @icloud.com/@me.com/@mac.com TSA address address "from". You cannot use a different, non-iCloud, email address.

  • Mac and Action Delete mail rules

    I use Mail 9.3 with El Capitan 10.11.6 and by mistake, I created an automatic e-mail rule that removed all email in my Inbox. This was due to accidentally clicking on the "If the following RULES are respected", instead of ALL. I got the error after about a week and have set.

    Is anyway to retrieve these messages that were deleted by this faulty rule? I looked in the trash and don't see some messages that I know have been sent to me during this period. Where will the messages that are affected by the "Delete" action in an e-mail rule?

    I tried to do a search in mail, Spotlight and Finder, but did not find the mails that I know have been sent to me while this flawed rule was active. Thanks in advance.

    If you do not have a backup of them, then they are gone. I you use IMAP mail, then once you delete a message it will be deleted from the server and are gone forever. How long that no matter how deleted mail grab is linked to your options of certain behaviors of the mailbox.

  • System default mail client (Thunderbird) does not appear in mailto applications.

    I use Thunderbird as the application mailto in Firefox. The only options listed for mailto are GMail, Yahoo mail, always ask and choose application. Use default does not appear.

    I solved this. By clicking on "other use" in applications of mailto, 'Cancel' when a window opens to select the application, and then clicking on one application other than mailto, and the e-mail client default system is selected. A user little seems hostile. I use Firefox 24 under Ubuntu 13.04 BTW.

  • Make the midi recording when the track is not selected

    Hi, asking for my friend and will try and find a solution when I get home, but...

    My friend (using logic 9.1.8) made some record with about 12 actors/singers alive. I suggested to him that he must save the midi for keyboard player (who is also the composer of all parts) as well as the audio just to give them some flexibility later. It is a great keyboard player and uses its own external keyboard. (i.e. not logic instrument). All the other singers/actors are all audio.

    So it is easy to implement but as such sessions can become a little hectic and although the midi for keyboard track is in record mode, the midi does not record unless the track is selected on the left. Sometimes, in the madness of him the entire midi track remains not selected and if the midi data does not get saved. Is it possible to routing in the environment where the midi will get recorded although the midi track is not selected? Don't forget, the midi track is always made armed.

    Thank you very much

  • El Capitan - mail rules > ' perform the following Actions: "menu drop-down is hidden.

    Here's the problem: after setting up the mail in El Capitan and synchronization iCloud with mail rules (the rules are still intact), I noticed a strange thing trying to adjust my Mail rules to filter emails with a few new subfolders. Rules are still in place and function (i.e. ' if one of the following conditions is met:' of > Contains > E-mail address > (+ other rules), then, "perform the following actions:' such as moving, e-mail message, icon bounce, etc."), but the top drop-down selector below him "perform the following...". "section, which in my case is generally" move message to: (name of the folder here) ", is hidden from view. It's still there, but I can't physically click top because the table/cell/div that contains this selector is compressed or not large enough to display the menu drop down. I know that this is true is because the other rules that make them several "Perform" actions... ' display the actions of second and third, but are hidden one.

    This is a problem because if I add another "' move to ' action, it is in conflict with the first... but I can't delete the first action, because I can't click on it."

    I realize that it is a strange... Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not configure e-mail, the option is not available

    Hello

    I just bought a new BB9790 and replace the sim card from my old BB9300 inside.

    I still have the same provider, vodafone, so everything should work, but it doesn't.

    I can't select the option to set up my e-mail account.

    After discussing 5 times with vodafone yesterday they me told to contact Blackberry because it's not their problem, everything is configured correctly on their side.

    I've tinkered a bit more and discovered that when I take out the sim card, reset the phone, I am able to select the mail account to set up a business account. don't have one so it does not work.

    But as soon as I put in my sim card, I can not select the e-mail account.

    I connected my BlackBerry ID and tried everything I could find on the internet, but it still does not work.

    sending the phone back and get another probably won't solve the problem because it looks like a software issue or registration.

    Who has a solution for this?

    Thank you, Monika

    Orange/EE addresses these issues.
    You just have not found the right person yet.

    Therefore, your BIS account is active. Now you need the service books to allow the configuration of personal messaging. EA can push those for you. Or, you can set up the account yourself at this link
