When I sent email from my desktop Mac cron jobs, it went out with the full hostname as the domain, i.e.: root@demo.wyzaerd.com, when all I wanted was a simple root@wyzaerd.com for ease of deliverability and domain maint. Edit the mail configuration file main.cf:
Add/edit the myorigin value of $mydomain:

I needed a way to get the dock icon to bounce for all incoming emails and there did not seem to be any option to do so. There is actually a simple way to do it, but it is not intuitive. The key is to add a new Rule! Open Mail.app and choose Mail -> […]

h Shows you a screenful of message headers (a “header” being the number, sender, date, size and subject). h with no message number shows the current screenful of messages (the number that make up a screenful is set with the screen variable, described below). h$ shows you the last screenful of messages — which is […]

I wanted to send email from cron for various reasons, but the emails would bounce with an error 554: 554 5.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found Clearly, Postfix was using the “internal” hostname of myappledesktop.local (MacOSX has TWO hostnames! also, myappledesktop.local is not the real hostname ;-). So, I needed two things: 1. […]

Quit Mail. Look for a file called MessageRules.plist under ~/Library/Mail. Depending on your Mail version it could be under ~/Library/Mail/V2/Maildata as well. Copy that file. It can be edited with vim or the PList editor. I find it much easier to work with as text in vim.

Some actions taken while the account “iCloud” was offline could not be completed online. Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions when online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “Recovered Messages (iCloud)” in “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions when online. Step 1. […]

Mail in Mavericks requires All Mail to be enabled in Gmail. If you disable All Mail, Mavericks now causes messages to jump back to where they started, or get duplicated, after they’re moved to different mailbox folders. To stop that from happening, you need to re-enable All Mail. Here’s how: Launch your favorite Web browser […]
