    Will Mail.app continue to load emails/notifications if minimized by clicking either the red or yellow button (does make difference with red/yellow)?

    When minimized by clicking wither yellow/red button (still active on desktop), seems like mail.app does not load new messages or send notifications. Do you have to keep mail.app open present on desktop to load? Much appreciation for any replies/help!

    World Record! Huge, Gigantic, Colossal Text File!

    Yesterday a friend asked if I could call her elderly mother who lives several hours away because her mom's iMac was really slow. A 2017 i5 8GB w/ 1TB HDD running MacOS Mojave. "All mom ever does is email". So I called mom, had her reboot, try Safe Mode, no change. Talked her through signing into...

    So I've been using macOS Catalina for a few days now, and it's largely been great! Things seem great except for this one small tiny bug that is driving me crazy: In the new macOS mail.app (13.4) I now will never see the little paperclip icon to show emails with attachments.

    Just upgraded to a new M1 with Big Sur and the latest Mail.App. Really liking the column layout that enables one to quickly sort by clicking Sender/Subject/Date/other colum headers.

    Mail.app stuck copying messages

    Mail.app is stuck copying messages from an Exchange account to an iCloud account. I've tried re-adding the Exchange account several times to no avail. I suspect it's because of a single message. Is there any way to find out which particular message is the culprit? Mail.app doesn't seem to...

    Mail.app takes very long to come up

    I have had this for a while now. When I start Mail.app, e.g. after having rebooted, it takes several minutes to show the window. During that time even SpamSieve tells me it has been deactivated (which it hasn't, it simply seems to have run into a timeout). Rebuilding the mailbox hasn't helped...

    Mail - closing of own accord after random interval

    Have Mojave PB1 running on a MacPro 5,1. Mostly everything works, but am noticing that the mail app will not stay open for long - if I open, leave the computer and return after (e.g. 20 mins) mail has closed. When it closes it leaves a comment of this form in the system log: Jul 1 18:22:56...

    Mail.app and kernel panics

    Look out! Many antivirus (Avast, Sophos Enterprise and Avira reported so far) have critical bug, causing kernel panic after opening Mail.app. It can be fixed by disabling file system/e-mail shields, or uninstalling antivirus. Is there any antivirus working with 10.13?
