One strike against Lending Tree is that the first message it sent asked me to confirm my email address I did not reply in any fashion, yet I continue to receive messages. In this case, I don’t really care, but it will make me more cautious about using On My Mac, even on Mojave. Attempts to copy a message that had the body missing back to the original server failed. I was able to copy a message that still displayed body contents back to a folder on the original server. I then chose View > Message > Raw Source the new window was empty. All Lending Tree messages from February and later still have the body contents.įor one message, I chose View > Message > All Headers all header information disappeared. All Lending Tree messages from January (that’s when they started arriving) have empty bodies. The three other messages, all older than the oldest Lending Tree message, still have information in the body. This morning, I received a Lending Tree message, and for no reason in particular, I opened an earlier message. I move said messages to this folder.) There are three messages from entities other than Lending Tree in this On My Mac folder. (Aside: I never even visited Lending Tree’s web site and I don’t know where it got my email address, but I get a message or two each month. In that folder, I have messages from Lending Tree. I’m also taking the opportunity to unsubscribe from most of the mail lists that I had previously just automatically deleted through my filters.įWIW, this morning I saw what appeared to this problem in Mail Version 12.4 (3445.104.14) on macOS 10.14.6 (18G5033) Mojave. I should note, however, that all my filters were turned off in the process (but they still were there) and I’m gradually reinstituting them as the myriad of spam emails now flood in. Too soon for me to know if things are permanently fixed, but so far, so good. After some reboots and repeated rebuilds of various mailboxes, things seem to now be working ok. Quite a slow process for me, probably because my local Apple Mail folders go back to 1997. Yesterday I went through the process of removing and rebuilding the Library files related to Mail as per the first fix described on that website. (I have at least a couple hundred filters.)Īfter a back and forth with IT at the University, they pointed me to a possible solution at this website: Fortunately, they were all messages I didn’t care about, and I think they all were targeted for deletion by my Mail filters. None of the messages showed up anywhere after clicking “OK”, either in Mail, or if I opened my email in Outlook on Safari. The error needed to be cleared before any additional emails could be downloaded from the Exchange server, and sometimes there were quite a few of them. The specified object was not found in the store., The process failed to get the correct properties. The message “” could not be moved to the mailbox “Exchange” They utilize an Exchange server, and I started getting error messages for some of my incoming emails. I’m now retired from the University of Illinois, but still use their email service. When I updated to Catalina, I started having problems with Apple Mail on my MacBook Pro. To reiterate our advice in “ macOS 10.15 Catalina Ships, Upgrade with Caution” (7 October 2019), hold off on upgrading to Catalina for a while, particularly if you use Mail. If you moved the message to a mailbox on the IMAP server, other devices see it as deleted, and that deletion status eventually syncs back to the original Mac, where the message disappears as well.Īs Michael Tsai points out, these problems can be difficult to notice (if you’ve already updated to Catalina, run through your mail to see if it has been affected), the problems can propagate to other devices, it’s difficult to make a complete backup, and even if you have a backup, it’s hard to restore. Plus, moving messages between mailboxes on the Mac can delete message bodies, leaving only headers. In particular, he’s hearing from numerous customers that updating Mail’s data store from Mojave to Catalina sometimes says that it succeeded, when in fact, large numbers of messages turn out to be incomplete or missing entirely. Michael Tsai, the developer of the long-standing SpamSieve plug-in for Mail on the Mac, has written a blog post warning about potential Mail-related data loss when upgrading to macOS 10.15 Catalina. #1656: Passcode thieves lock iCloud accounts, the apps Adam uses, iPhoto and Aperture library conversion in Ventura.#1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD.#1660: OS updates for sports and security, Drobo in bankruptcy, why TidBITS doesn't cover rumors.
