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old mac to the new migration, I noticed that nearly half of the 2-3 years value of messages in my "Sent" mailbox have been replaced by an image I call "the swami smiling."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.

  • 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

    original title: OUTLOOK EXPRESS mail problem of 2 GB dbx

    Hello

    Since 2 days I'm fighting some OE problem with missing e-mail. The problem is like Office Outlook if there is some time 2000/XP/2003 with oversized - data 2 GB.
    With some software I downloaded, can I see emails but no way to extract them again in OE. Is there a Microsoft tool supported as for Office Outlook scanpst retrieve Outlook Express messages?

    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.
     
    *****************************************
     
    To help 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.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
     
    And backup often.

  • 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.

    Kind regards

  • Fixing of Apple Mail problem - Sierra

    Since the update for Sierra, some attachments are not crossing in my emails. I get the icon trombone of attachment in the list for e-mail & in the header of the document, but I can't open, save or view the quicktime or mp3 files (even though when I open the same email in Outlook, I can access the spare).

    This is happening only since I've updated for Sierra.

    Sierra sometimes omits the last accessory and where there is a single attachment is it still missing.

    It seems to fail if the account is configured for IMAP access. POP access is not the problem. Better send Apple. Go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and em let know.

  • Mail problem - there is no 'other' option to allow me to add an e-mail letter from BT to my apple mail

    I try to get my BT mail via my icon of mail from apple on the desktop, but there is no option 'other' to allow me to do this - why?

    Unless I have a Facebook, Yahoo, Google, etc related mail account there is no possibility to do same not the symbol more only allows me to select it to give me the option. BT themselves aren't interested, claiming that they cannot be experts in all operating systems. The last time I looked only there's two major operating systems, so not much to get an expert in.

    Is - this BT internet you speak here?

    I guess you can set up a new account in mail preferences, you can either have POP3 or IMAP

    for imap, it is mail.btinternet.com, Port, 993, SSL encryption and punch in your user name and password

    for pop3, this is the same server, port 995, punch in your user name and password. Under the apple mail program, go to accounts, choose the type of account (POP3 or IMAP) then set up and you could be good

    Good luck

  • Surveys of Apple e-mail addresses does not

    Hello

    I am currently working on a project to send surveys to our customers, ask questions about their customer experience. All emails we send are welcomed by our customers except those that have the address @me and @icloud.

    We have completed all the requirements of certification (DKIM, SPF, and CNAME) and these are all displayed as being accepted in the header files. Apple emails show as sent, but they never appear in the inboxes of customers or junk mail. In addition, no trace of return is received.

    Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix?

    Any help is very appreciated.

    Hello Adam,.

    These protocols that you list are anti-spoofing certifications and basic DNS. They don't help you to cross the ANTI-SPAM filters. Looks like the Apple servers work as expected.

  • Apple e-mail issues

    I have some major quirks with my Apple Mail. If this application is opened and another is located below sometimes I'll see rectangles of what is below, or it will divide all sorts small rectangles or strips. It's very, very weird... like Mail drugs or something. Someone had this problem? Does anyone know how to solve such a crazy thing?

    Thing most likely causing the problem. Restart the machine and check if there is no other applications running in the background, including any virus protection software. If there is nothing else running, leave them. Then launch Mail and see if you have the problem. If not, a launch applications that were running in the background and test Mail. My guess is sooner or later the app that is causing the problem manifests itself.

  • Mail problem after downloading El Capitan

    Hello everyone. Can someone help me? I have a Macbook Pro 2011. Yesterday, I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan 10.11.4 and now I have a problem with Mail. When I go to answer an email, the program behaves as if I'm starting a new email, i.e. None of the info is relevant response, recipient, text, nothing. I rang Apple Care and they say that it of a known bug and will be soon released an upgrade to fix (actually may have already appeared in the United States, according to them). Anyone know anything about this? I find no reference to anyone with a similar problem on any forum. Any help gratefully received. Thank you.

    Moreover, it works fine on my iPhone and on iCloud

    Please open the Mail preferences window and select the tab composition workshop . There is a box marked

  • Mail problem

    mid-2010 iMac, 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB of RAM

    Just improved 10.11.2 to 10.11.3

    At the launch of mail - get a "Mail upgrade" window and a note that it is to validate the mailbox. The progress bar is freezing in half way through. No beach ball - in fact demand is not "frozen". The menu is functional - although most of the features are grayed out.

    Otherwise, anyone with similar problems, or have an idea how to get my Mail up and run again? Any input is greatly appreciated.

    The new version of Mail stores its database in a different format that the old, so the database must be converted before Mail can use it. Sometimes, the conversion fails because the old database is damaged, or because of a bug in the conversion code.

    What you should do depends on what type of e-mail accounts you have. The first step, no matter what you do, is to save all the data, if you don't have a current backup.

    Please read this post in full before anything else. If this is unclear, ask for clarification before taking a step. If you're not convinced that you can follow instructions, stop, don't change anything.

    A. Si you know that you have IMAP or Exchange only e-mail accounts

    The easy way to recover is to delete the old database and start over. You can do this without losing all the messages, provided that:

    ☞ All your incoming mail accounts are on an IMAP or Exchange Server

    ☞ You store messages sent on the server

    ☞ You have no mailboxes "on my Mac".

    Independent mail services the best-known as iCloud and Gmail are inspired by the IMAP. On the other hand, hosted by ISP e-mail services often use pop. If your ISP is one of your providers of mail services (or the only), you cannot use this procedure. See below part B in this case.

    If the above conditions are met, please continue to do so.

    Quit Mail runs.

    Open your home folder's library folder by pressing the option key and selection

    Go ▹ library

    in the Finder menu bar. Inside, it is a subfolder named "mail". Move this folder on the desktop. You do not move the e-mail application; you move a folder named "mail".

    Launch of Mail. The mailboxes must be restored automatically. The messages will be downloaded from the servers, so it can take a long time if you have very large mailboxes. Some people have mailboxes in the gigabyte range, and which can be a problem if the bandwidth is measured or the Internet connection is slow.

    If the mailboxes are restored successfully, you can delete the folder that you moved to the desktop. You may have to re-create your rules, signatures and custom stationery Mail. If it's important for you not to have to do these things, ask for instructions before you delete the folder.

    B. Si you have a POP or "on my Mac" mailbox store, or if you don't know what you have

    Move the folder of mail on the desktop as in the part has and open.

    Press the key combination command + F to search. In the line of chips to search along the upper part of the window, select "Mail". Below, defined as the search criteria

    The name ends with mbox

    Results of the research will be a list of folders with a name ending with '.mbox '. Each of them represents a box the letters.

    Launch of Mail. All mailboxes will be empty at the beginning, but if you have any IMAP or Exchange mailbox (including iCloud), they should fill in automatically after a delay, as in part A. If you have now all the messages you want to keep, you can stop here. Otherwise, import from mailboxes in the search results. The article of support related, select

    Apple Mail

    as import format. You'll probably want to jump boxes to letters with names such as "Deleted Messages", "Junk", "Spam", or "Trash". Some may be duplicates of what you already; those that you can remove.

    In some cases, a mailbox may fail with an error to import. If this happens, thanks for posting your results.

    If all the mailboxes that you want to import do successfully, you can delete the mail on the desktop folder.

  • WHY is Apple E-Mail Alias transfer - so restrictive?

    When my wife signed to Apple she used one of our gmail accounts of his Apple ID, which is great, EXCEPT that I had used this (name) @gmail for an alias iCloud email address (name) @icloud before it is signed on.  Apple does NOT allow me to transfer this alias so my wife can use it as its primary e-mail address Apple, that would be ideal because it reflects his gmail address?

    WHY Apple is so restrictive with the transfer of an e-mail address, whether it is an e-mail alias or principle?

    In the digital world of today, where Apple has made their Apple ID and email iCloud Apple so very well integrated into the overall experience iOS - it makes it incredibly frustrating that we are unable to make a simple email address switch between my wife and me that would make life easier on the whole regarding the centralization of its emails from Apple Mail account.  (Name) she uses is the one that we used it for many years and he move on to something completely different... not a very good option leaves she have to keep using Gmail as their primary e-mail account...

    Unfortunately iCloud alias cannot be used for distribution among those family.  Inform Apple - http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • How can I contact Apple with a problem?

    Earlier today, which I called Apple Support with the question that my iPhone could not connect to iTunes. First of all, the woman asked me if I was on the speaker, and I said yes because I was looking at my computer screen so she can help me solve the problem. She replied with "it would be nice if I wasn't on the speaker. (already coming off rude) Then she told me to let him see my computer screen. She never gave me the Web site to enable him to do this. After that, she ran a scan to see if something was wrong. She found a small problem in my computer and I asked how to fix it. She told me that she could connect to a certified technician who can fix this. (never mentioned anything about a cost) I told him he was fine, then she said that it would cost a small fee. I said I'm sorry how much would it be. She said, "it would be a small fee of $99.99. (no case is a small fee) I proceed to tell him I am a student who doesn't have that kind of money right now and she started to treat me as a child and said: why don't ask you MOM and dad and give us a call. Where to go to school, there is a technical team that solves such things for free. I wanted Apple to fix the problem and that person does not. I'm very angry against how I was treated and would like to contact someone to complain. So I wonder how I should contact them?

    It's not Apple, you just been deceived by some random criminal. Try to be more careful in the future.

    Now, why you called it.
