A question about e-mailing

I have an old hotmail account and I hadn't used it for a long time, until today. I wasn't careful with that account at all. I remember giving to anywhere, even dangerous web sites and stuff. I always got spam mail. Today I needed that account and used it on my iPhone. When I signed it, it said "downloading" and then stopped. There were still spam mails there, and some mails that carry links to bad web sites. I didn't open any of them, I just deleted all of them, did what I needed to, and then logged out. Now, as my account was infected, and as there's such a thing as "sandbox" on iOS, will the data of my infected account saved in the mail app? What can I do to delete that data? Because I don't want my iPhone to be infected.

As long as your phone is not jailbroken, there is no way it can get infected. Just delete the emails in question. That's all you have to do.

Two questions about apple mail

hey everyone. i'm getting to learn a little more about apple mail these days; smoothing out Gmail IMAP synching and whatnaught. i've stumbled into the mail directory on my macbook and had some questions.
1. the "mail downloads" folder (home/library/mail downloads). what is the significance of this folder? in the preferences, i have my default downloads saved to the main "downloads" folder. yet there is a random number of files in there; i don't think they constiute the totality of every message i've received that has a file to download, so what is the logic of those files? if i delete them will the downloads not be available from individual mail messages any longer?
2. i see some older IMAP mailboxes for two accounts that i don't even have access to any more. they don't, however, show up on the mail app itself. is there some way to reintegrate these mailboxes (just for archival purposes, and the ability to see their messages) into the mail program?
thanks so much!

Aaron,
The Mail Downloads folder contents are redundant to what is kept with the messages. The most typical ways that content results in that folder are:
1) quickly clicking the Save button on a message, rather than using a click-hold to then have the option to choose a target location of the Save;
2) you open an attachment with another application. There Mail Downloads is only meant to be a temporary storage location. Attachments are kept as originally received with the message itself. Also, in the more recent version of Mail, it is redundantly kept in a folder within the INBOX.mbox folder named Attachments -- this is a behind the scenes behavior. It first appeared only for IMAP mailboxes, but more recently in Mail 4.x is also the case with a POP account. If unedited, then depending how you have your preference set up, attachments may be removed when Mail is quit, etc.;
3) Mail in 10.5.x and 10.6.x seems to require the Mail Downloads folder to be created, rather than use the Downloads folder. The latter is mostly used as the location of items you click to load from a remote server, whether in a Browser or in Mail.
With respect to your old IMAP account folders or mailboxes, where have you found them? I would assume any old IMAP accounts have been deactivated in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced if in the Mail folder, but not showing in the Sidebar to Mail? It would problematic to activate an IMAP account if it can no longer contact the IMAP server. Any xxxx.imapmbox folder can be dragged from the Mail folder (after quitting Mail) to say the Desktop, renamed as xxxx.mbox folder, and then back in Mail imported to be an On My Mac mailbox for archival.
More info, please.

Newbie question - general question about e-mail sync

Hi,
I have a general question about email sync and BlackBerry smartphones. Are there any devices that allow email syncing with a Microsoft Exchange 2007 system that do not require the BlackBerry Enterprise server?
Thanks; sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums, documentation, etc. Everything I found assumes that for this kind of environment you will be using a BlackBerry Enterprise solution, but I can't assume.
Thanks again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If the Exchange server has anything that faces the internet (OWA, POP, IMAP), then BIS can be used to handle email (only email...calendar and contacts require BES to sync OTA).
Or, a PC, inside the network (but with an internet path) and logged into the email server (using Outlook), can be left running, using the RIM Desktop Software's Desktop Redirector capability to forward messages to the BB.
Those are basically the options.
Hope that helps! Let us know!

Question about Sent Mail folder contents

Hi Everyone.
this question requires a fair amount of background -- I tried my usually very helpful users' group and didn't get any responses. Here's the story:
I upgraded my macbook pro to Leopard partly because I thought Time Machine would make me backup more regularly (it has). I have a few sporadic backups from prior to the upgrade, and then I backed up right before I upgraded. I had a disk error during my first attempt at an archive & install, found that the disk was wiped, thanked my lucky stars I backed up beforehand, ran disk utility on the disk, and then did an erase & install instead.
After the upgrade, I used the migration assistant to restore my user account from my backup. At some point after the fact, I noticed that my sent mail mailbox in mail.app for my primary email account was missing all my emails except for the period from 3/30/05 to 4/15/05 and from 1/07 to 4/07.
I thought I was hosed, but today I found I had another backup on a second disk, and that one has 10,614 emails in the sent mail folder (to be precise Sent Message (account name).mbox/Messages/). After importing, I have all of those sent emails restored in a folder in mail.app.
However, during this process, I went and checked my Sent Messages mailbox in my current Library folder for this user account. In that folder (Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Sent Messages (this account).mbox), all of the files (content_index, Incoming_Mail, IncomingTable_ofContents, mbox, and tableofcontents) show an incorrect(?) created / modified / Last opened date of 5/26/05. The Info.plist file has the correct dates, and the Messages folder does, too. Those same files are in the Sent Messages folder on both of my backups, and have the same date (5/26/05) listed.
I actually pulled all of the files listed above with the weird dates and removed them from the Sent Messages.mbox folder. That doesn't seem to matter to mail -- everything still seems to be working just fine.
So, my question is, are those files crucial, or are they cruft from multiple generations of OS updates and mail.app updates that are no longer needed? It seems like no new versions were automatically generated when I removed the old ones, and mail doesn't seem to be broken.
I've been using mail.app at least since 2004 and the emails in the sent mail folder trace back to a Pbook G4 that started with OS X 10.1 (maybe even 10.0 -- my memory isn't as good as it used to be) and was upgraded with each major release, then I migrated to the current MacBook Pro and upgraded it from Tiger to Leopard. So I've probably used the migration assistant (or archive & install) to help me move files (or did it manually) through one laptop changed and four OS upgrades.
Any ideas about this Sent Messages question or in general about how I might clean up my Mail folder are appreciated.
Thanks!

I have both POP and IMAP email accounts.
The IMAP is easy. Until you delete it is visible on both phone and computer. Once you delete it is gone from both, although with providers like Google, you can still un-delete it. Google, among others, provides free IMAP email.
For POP, there is a setting in Entourage preferences, (maybe in mail.app, too) that will let you decide to automatically delete the mail from the server, manually delete the mail from the server, or automatically delete after a period of time. I set my pop account to automatically delete from the server after one month. You set up the iPhone the same way - to leave it on the server. This way, a message will download to both your computer and to the iPhone. If you are working at your computer, you can still manually delete the message from the server so that it does not go to your iPhone, since you have already handled it. But even if you never delete from the server, it will automatically delete in a month so that you do not go over your email limit (if any) for your ISP.
Also, with my POP account, I set up the phone to automatically send a copy to me of all outgoing messages. This way my computer has a copy of everything I send from the phone.

Questions about Personalized MAIL Forms

Hi all!
I got some questions regarding the Personalized Mail Forms in CRM:
1. When you set up the subject part of the Form is it possible to "personalize it too"?
What i mean is it possible to add attributes to the Subject for example the target's name etc. etc., just like you can do it in the mail's body?
2. How can you add system attributes to the mail form's body in a Text: i would like to add the &SFSY-PAGE& and &SFSY-FORMPAGES& attributes specially?
3. If i would like to insert a picture which is on my local drive, it's got inserted but doesn't wanna show, only a red cross. What is the possible problem?
4. I got the same problem when i wanna set up a background for the form, it doesn't wanna show. What are the things that i should check about it?
5. When i set up windows (sub or main either) on a page and i set their attributes like width or length those attributes only affect the Form Painter and don't affect the Form itself.
In Smart Forms when you set a window, it's attributes also affect the Form itself and not just the location of the window in the Form Painter.
What i mean is that i would like to set up different windows on a page on different locations ( like a header or a footer one ) but that only appears in the Form Painter, and it doesn't affect the page itself.
Any solution for this?
Thx in advance for the replies!

Questions about e-mail sync etc...

Hi,
I will be setting up a new Palm Pre Plus Verizon phone soon but had a couple of questions to make sure I now what's possible.
1) Is it possible to sync only the Calendar / Contacts from Microsoft Exchange but not the e-mail (work account)? Can the same be done for other accounts (google, yahoo, etc...)?
2) If not, can the Calendar/Contacts be set to automatically download but the e-mail be set for manual control (downloaded by user action only) thus choosing never to download?
3) If so, can those preferences be set differently per individual account (Exchange vs Google vs Yahoo etc...)?
Also...I've seen several Palm reps on the posts suggesting users check out homebrew / 3rd party opportunities to customize their phones even though Palm doesn't "support them. Can I get an overall take on whether this is a good idea or not? Do you run the risk of ruining / breaking your phone using those types of 3rd party solutions (I would assume not if your reps are suggesting to look there...)?
Thanks very much for any input.

Hi,
Thank you so much, you've been a big help.
Would it be possible to bother you (or anyone in the know) with more complicated questions I've been facing trying to set up the palm?
I understand about how to Exchange (and control e-mail).
I still have questions though, on e-mail / contact setup.
My questions revolve around multiple accounts from the same place, and also AIM buddy control (and multiple AIM accounts).
Basically...is it a problem to pull in multiple Gmail accounts for example (more than 1)? I use 2 different Gmail accounts (one for my friends / family, and one for work)? That along with the Exchange acount?
As for AIM...I also have two AIM accounts I use (one for friends / family, one when working). when I created both accounts, they sort of merged, and both stayed on (I wasn't able to control signing one off, keeping one on at a time)? Am I just not finding the right settings?
Also...the contacts list was a disaster after bringing in the AIM accounts. Even after deleting the accounts (because I couldn't get them to work right), the screennames stayed in my contacts list, and when I try to delete them (swipe away, choose delete) they say AIM profiles can't be deleted...even though the account is deleted. Am I missing something??
I read in the manual, you are supposed to be able to stop contacts from feeding from certain accounts by choosing the menue / prerences / selecting the account / stopping the sync....but that wasn't even an option as the only "account" listed in preferences is the Palm account.
I'm just terribly confused on how to set things up and what can be controlled. Thanks for any help you can provide (or a place I can go for this assistance).
Thanks!

Question about filtering mail

At present I tidy most of my Mail inbox automatically (mostly) by writing rules to send some posts to their respective mailboxes. These are generally routine messages that are not immediately important, but sometimes they might be important. When I first started doing this, I realised that Mail quietly filters the messages in the background and unless I opened the mailboxes to look I wouldn't know if I had received a new message. Therefore I created a smart mailbox that would show all messages for a week. I take a look every now and then.
Because this doesn't work on iphone, and also because there is no longer the option to synch rules and mailboxes between Mail apps on different computers, I really have to consider doing my filtering on icloud.
However, on iCloud there are no smart mailboxes. If I filter a message into a mailbox on iCloud, it'll disappear into that mailbox and I won't see it unless I search through the mailboxes. So, my question is, does anybody know of a way that one can filter messages on iCloud so that one can see easily all the messages that have arrived, in the same way that I can do with Mail? I do not want all of these messages, from various forums, shopping sites, etc, cluttering up my inbox, but I do want to be able to keep an eye on what has arrived.

Thanks for taking the time to respond guys. Both of your answers have been helpful.
To clarify, I did have junk filtering on (which created a junk mailbox) and I did have the box checked to show all junk main in my regular inbox (highlighted as suspected junk). My problem was they all were't going to my inbox at all, but straight to my junk box. So there's a flaw with the junk mail option. I will check all of my other devices to make sure I have the same option set for all machines though!
Currently I have junk mail filtering off (which takes away the junk mail folder), and my question was, will I now get all mail, including junk, in my inbox. The obvious answer seems like a yes, but I just wanted to make sure that is indeed the case as nothing in mail help says you will get all of your mail or not (wasn't sure if there's some sort of junk mail filter at the iCloud server level that would simply ignore what it thinks is junk and not even send it to me).
Based on what you guys have said, my suspision that I will get all mail now, regardless of if it's junk or not, in my inbox, is pretty much confirmed.

As a follow up to my previous question about the mail not loading, when I went to see my account to confirm my e-mail, the message was not there, I had to go to my SO S L O W acoount to answer your request

I just confirmed my e-mail account, but I had to go to my very slow AOL connection since the message you guys sent me was not visible in the body of the page, just the header

Just to say there ARE lots of Apps on BlackBerry World, so potential BB purchasers should not let that stop them, and some very good free ones, excellent -- BlackBerry Travel is really good, and OsmAnd maps are fabulous, big to download, but when you get it you'll be amazed. Just download a provincial or smaller map to start, because they are huge files and very detailed, but lots of trails and paths are on them... good for park trails and such.

Question about using Mail

I am trying to use Mail with my hotmail adress but it's not working, it says that pop3.live.com is refusing my password. What can I do?

Hmmm are you using port 995 fir incoming?
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
And authentication= Password?
And for outgoing...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Question about push mail via Mail2Web.

I'm assuming Mail2Web is probably the best solution for me, but correct me if I'm wrong... I currently have my own email domain and IMAP service through Bluehost.com. I use Outlook 2007. If I want mail pushed to my iPhone, but want to keep my own personal email address and sync with my Outlook Mail, Contacts and Calendar, can Mail2Web's Personal Exchange service do this for me? Also, can I add my wife's account as well, or does it allow for only 1 account? Any details on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I understood what I want but I stuck in a problem with static push-registry, it work fine on the emulator but when I install it on a real device nothing happen.
the device I use is E71 .. I want to know if anyone try push with it and he success or E71 is not supporting static push-registry.
when I install the application it dose ask me if I agree to run it automatically ..... also, I try the dynamic one and it success...
thanks

Two questions about iPhone mail/mailboxes

I may be being blind but ...
1. How do I create folders to store read mail? There is a button to send mail in my inbox to a different "mailbox", but pressing it gives only 2 choices: inbox (disabled) and trash. Is there really no way to create a Read Mail folder and move mail to it?
2. Um, where's the spam filter?
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

What email service did you configure on the phone? IMAP or POP?
Example... I added my .Mac account (manually, not through iTunes) and all my folders and messages are not accessible on the iPhone. I "tested" how well it worked and found that a test folder I created on my machine showed up on the iPhone within a 2-3 minutes (not immediately). Same with dragging and moving messages around in folders.
I'm under the impression that if the account is POP that you won't be able to create subfolders, it's strictly an Inbox view on the iPhone. If you access that same POP account from a home PC/Mac you can create subfolders there but that stores the messages only on your local machine.

Some question about javax.mail.Folder

the method Folder.getUnreadMessageCount().
I want to know the result whether include the message which flag is delete but the client do not read it?
the same question with getMessageCount and getNewMessageCount
thaks ahead:)

Yes. This methods run "SEARCH" command with arguments.
Example: SEARCH SEEN Messages that have the \Seen flag set.

[iPhone] Questions about sending mail

NSMailDelivery is deprecated and I can’t find any new object for sending mails.
_Question 1:_
Are there any good frameworks for sending mail from an application?
If so how do I get the settings from the mail program (NSMailDelivery did this automatically)
_Question 2:_
If there is no framework for sending mail directly from the application. Is it possible to send html formatted mail via the mailto: URL method?

You can just set the Body section to be HTML and Mail figures it out:
NSString buffer=@"<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>PAGE</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>example</BODY></HTML>";
NSString subjectLine =@"Example HTML formatted EMAIL";
NSString *str1 = (NSString *)CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorSystemDefault, (CFStringRef) subjectLine, NULL, CFSTR(";/?:@&=+$,"), kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
NSString *str2 = (NSString *)CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorSystemDefault, (CFStringRef)buffer, NULL, CFSTR(";/?:@&=+$,"), kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"mailto:?subject=%@&body=%@",str1 ,str2 ];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];

Newbie question about Word mailing labels

I'm tyring to make mailing labels with Word (14.4.7). When I opened up the label wizard and clicked on the address book icon to use an entry from the address book I was asked if I wanted to give permission to access the address book. I inadvertently clicked no. How to I change that to yes?

Hey there technogoof,
It sounds like you need to allow access to your contacts from the Word application. You should be able to do that in your System Preferences:
Privacy pane of Security & Privacy preferences
To open the pane, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click Privacy.
Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders
Shows the apps that want access to your contacts, calendars, or reminders. Deselect the app if you want to prevent it from accessing this information.
If the options are different because you have an operating system other than Yosemite, let me know what version you have.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Question about poping mail from gmail

I'm trying to find out how to restrict the mail that is downloaded from a new gmail account when it first connects to Mac Mail.
If I connect my Mac Mail client to pop from a new Gmail account, will all of the mail in the account be downloaded? I have a new Gmail account where I only want to download a portion of the mail in the account. Will I need to delete the Gmail mail that I don't want downloaded?
Thanks.

Whatever is is the inbox of a POP account on the server will download to any computer with that account as new if it hasn't been downloaded and logged into the database of the computer. If you don't want messages to download from the server, they will need to be removed from the inbox there. Create another mailbox at the gmail site and move the messages there. Leave only the ones you want downloaded to the computer in the inbox.
