Apple mail out of office rule is sending auto replies to all emails not just newly received emails--HELP! I set up the rule according to another apple support thread and instead of only sending the reply to new mail received, it was sent to all messages I believe that were in my INBOX, I only had a few but several people that hadn't sent me emails since I set up the rule, received the OUT OF OFFICE reply.Here is the procedure I followed for the out of office rule-[URL]I just used my email account which is a business account- not an ECU account but these rules according to the apple thread apply for all emails.

I downloaded Transmission so I can download torrents, however I want to schedule them to run between 2am and 8am on my off peak hours. When I go to preferences>bandwidth and go to schedule the speed limit, I am unable to set the times in the data boxes, it won't let me add numeric data. All I can do is toggle the arrow buttons from AM to PM. I had the same problem with igetter, so I'm assuming this problem is something to do with the settings on my mac and maybe not transmission.

Is it possible to view the notes pane and the email pane at the same time? I keep notes about each project I'm working on so it helps to have them up as I'm replying to emails and setting todo's. If this is not possible, can I move notes out of Mail?

If you use a external harddrive, I assume you have to turn it on 24hrs a day? And when the mac sleeps does it still back up on schedule? Can I use a internal drive i.e. bay 2 or 3 etc?

I explain:
1. I used ''mailbfr'' to backup the IMAP mailboxes, but the mailbfr doesn't restart my mail service correctly after the backup, so I need to make this manually each time.
2. I want to restart the mail service with a schedule task, but i dont know the procedure
I have been suffering from this issue with Mail for a long time, and I have finally decided to attempt to seek out a resolution. I have noticed that since I began using MobileMe, Mail has taken an extraordinarily long time to send emails. It takes at least a minute to send around 5 lines of text, which seems rather excessive. I have noticed this on Leopard (10.5.8) and Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
When I send emails from my MobileMe account on my iPhone, it takes seconds, so I haven't noticed any similar issues there. I opened up the connection doctor in Mail and found that it took a long time to report a successful connection to both MobileMe and the MobileMe smtp server. I allowed Snow Leopard to automatically set up my mail account, so I don't believe that it is an issue with settings. Has anyone experienced something similar, and is there a fix I could try?
I just got a new external hard drive (500 gigs), and already backed up my mac once. Now it does it every hour. But I want it to back up like once a day, not 24 times a day. How do I change the back up schedule?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a program that will let me delete old Time Machine backups on a schedule. I am aware that TM will delete old backups once the drive is full. However, I don't want to let TM fill up my hard drive (having a ton of backups is not useful to me, and I use my hard drive to store movies as well), and I don't like having to manually delete backups when I want to add more files to my external hard drive. I've read many forum posts that recommend "just letting TM do its thing."
I'm just looking for a way to minimize the number of backups that are kept so I can keep plenty of open space on my hard drive for when I add to my movie collection. I'm already using TimeMachineEditor to back up less frequently, but what I would really like is a program that will automatically delete an old backup every time I add a new one. Ideally, I'd like to back up once a day and keep a week's worth of backups. So, once I have 7 backups on my hard drive, the next time my computer backs up the oldest of those 7 will automatically be deleted.
Can you schedule Time Machine backups?
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Tonight I followed the instructions someone had posted to this forum (and lots of other places online) to run the following in Terminal:
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 86400
Then I logged out and then logged back in again to reload.
This is supposed to change the Time Machine backup interval from 1 hour to once every 24 hours.
Maybe it does, but I noticed something weird: every time I load up Time Machine Preferences from the menu bar, the time to "Next Backup" changes by subtracting 1 hour or so from its previous value just a few minutes ago when I checked.
If I check again immediately, it is the same (e.g. Today, 9:20pm) but if I wait awhile and load it again, it changes to something like "Today, 8:20pm"
Not sure what's going on here and can anyone offer any comments if I even executed this command correctly in the first place?
My mail has stopped being able to receive email from yahoo. Everything is set up properly and it was working fine up until a couple of days ago. Mail seems to have problems connecting to the server.I can receive but not send. When I use the connectivity doctor it stays for ages trying to connect to the yahoo server, sometimes it connects after a few minutes, sometimes it doesn't connect at all. I have no problems sending or receiving emails from my ipod, other computers or yahoo itself, the only problem is with Mail.

I have Mac Mail setup to delete all emails after one month, this includes the Sent, Junk, and Trash. However Mail is only keeping one week's worth. I use iCloud as my sole email account. This issue has been occuring for a few months now.Â
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have emptied the Trash and set preferences for all my email accounts so that emails are permanently erased on quitting Mail.I also selected Rebuild from the Mailbox pull-down menu. I bought an email archiving program called MailSteward. When I run it, it pulls in many thousands of emails that I have already deleted from Mail. This is no good at all!The programmer of MailSteward
(By the way, MailSteward does not go online to find emails: it just looks on my computer. Also, these supposedly deleted emails were sent to my mac.com account and my gmail account, so it's not .Mac or gmail that's the problem.)
Just moved to new iMac with OS Lion. The Mail function used to search the body of the email, but now it does not (apparently).[url]More importantly, the search function is not looking at my old emails in separate folders. And apparently it is not looking at emails not received by the new computer either. Thus I have no historic email search function, which is annoying.How can I force Mail to look at and search all the other old email folders?

I recently upgraded my dad's system from Snow Leopard to Lion, and it went without a hitch, however he's noticed now that Mail is no longer finding emails that it should be. For example, when he would type in Mark in the search (scope: all) in Snow Leopard, he'd have at least 100 emails show up from mark@address, however now in Lion the result returns only 2 recent emails (scope: all). I played around with it for a bit -- but I couldn't get it working. Here's what I tried:Â
I typed in the name of the person and still only two came up. I tried the email address, and still only two came up. It doesn't matter whether what's being searched for is a part of the person's name, email address, subject, to, from, or message, it's just not coming up. Again, scope was set to all, i.e, inbox, sent, etc.Â
Worked perfectly on Snow Leopard. Doesn't work at all on Lion? Dad should be able to type in "Mark" and see the hundred or so emails sent to or from mark@address.com, etc., and this is happening with all his previous emails. He types in things and stuff just doesn't come up anymore. He's on a Mac Pro running the latest version of Lion.

I have massive problems with Mail. I use mail at work and have 3 accounts running:
1. Mac. mail account
2. Gmail mail account
3. Exchange Server
I have quite a few folders in my accounts where I have to archive my emails to. Often very often or lets say annoyingly too often mail stops working.
- Stops receiving emails
- Emails I have put away in folders disappear in my inbox again
- If I try to quite Mail it won't I have to force it and then when I open it again all my emails I was working on open again even so I have sent them already. Also all the emails I have folded away are back in my inbox.

I would prefer the backup to run when I am not working on the computer (instead of every hour). Can the Time Machine Scheduler be trusted or is there another option to manage the backup schedule?

Some of my mail is not showing up in my inbox on my Mac but came through on my phone. Am using imap so it should not have deleted from the server...and I have never have had this problem before.Â
It seems to be working again now, but there are 5 or so emails that just will not come through to my Mac inbox even though I can see them in the inbox on my phone...important work emails....concerned this may happen again and something will slip through the net.Â

I have been sending duplicate emails inadvertently recently. It seems it's when I use mBox for mac (registered copy) in Mail to use my Hotmail with IMAP. I hadn't noticed it at first, but now I see every time I send a mail I get 2 copies in my sent box. I can turn off the store sent messages on server option to fix it (but that's the whole point of having IMAP!). Or I can turn off mBox for mac and it also seems to work (but then I can't use IMAP!).
I've also tried on the same machine from gmail, and iCloud accounts (MobileMe), and I had no issue at all. I've also tried 2 different Hotmail accounts, and both of them send double messages every time I send. I think anyone still using a hotmail account will eventually install something like mBox for mac if they've gone Mac recently - as I have. I checked the mail headers of the 2 mails, and they are quite different (masked where appropriate) -

I am trying to use my gmail account through the mail application, however it is marking all my emails, even ones from when I first made my account, as unread is there a way to sync it so it can tell when I have read an email on gmail.com and mark it as unread? Also is there a way to synch the various labels that I have created on gmail?
