Apple Mail: spelling and grammar settings (OSx 10.6.8)

Hello;
Whenever I open mail, the spelling and grammar settings revert back to English. I often write emails in either French or English, and thus want to set it to "Automatic". However, it always reverts to English. How do I permanently set this preference to "Automatic"?
Thanks for any help.

Mail spelling and grammar

Am I alone in wondering why my iPhone will automatically correct 'teh' with 'the', and will capitalise the beginnings of sentences if I don't, whereas Mail doesn't do this.
Does this imply that the phone's mail editor is more sophisticated that editor in Mail?
Have I missing something?

Maybe,maybe not. Probably not.

It has a feature that Mail hasn't. Whether this makes it more sophisticated is a matter of semantics.
Have I missing something?
No, I don't think so.

How to reduce size of spelling and grammar window in Mail

In Mail, the spelling and grammar window that pops up for correction when an email is sent is the size of the entire screen. How do I shrink it to allow the drafted email to show as corrections are proposed?

Spelling and grammar app for Mail always opens with french

Any ideas? I have seen this bugfor years and I just finally got sick of it enogh to see if anyone else had the problem. I tried in the past to change its behaviour but no luck

Is this what you are doing?
With a document open, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.
To change the language, choose it from the pop-up menu. If you want to see more language options, choose Open Text Preferences.

Safari Spelling and Grammar Ignore Button

A friend noticed that when checking spelling using the Spelling and Grammar option in Safari (Edit->Spelling and Grammar->Show Spelling and Grammar) and clicking the Ignore button when rejecting a suggestion, Safari would reload the page ... the reloaded page would loose anything he had typed into a field.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? I've been able to reproduce the behavior several times and I tried a search Apple Safari Communities but nothing came up for "Spelling and Grammar".
Thanks!

Thanks Reverse_Parn, I did a virus scan on my computer and it didn't highlight anything. I did a disc cleanup and de fragged my hard drive in case something was amiss there but it still does it. I think I will try to download Safari again on my PC as I initially did it on my laptop (which runs Vista) and then burnt it onto a disc to install it on my PC (which runs XP) because my internet explorer on my PC was broken and couldn't access the internet at all. Just thinking maybe I downloaded the correct Safari for my Laptop but not my PC. Time will tell!

Spelling and Grammar check

Coming from entourage I am used to seeing on-going spelling and grammar check - right click and you can see the suggestions. In Mail I have set to check as I type but can't right click to correct and need to pull up the spelling and grammar box (command and ":") before sending. Any way this can be changed?
Also how do I get the URLs in emails to be underlined when typed and not only when sent?

Select the word, then RIGHT- or CTRL-click to see either suggestions or to look up in the Dictionary. If spell checking is turned on then a misspelled word will appear with a wavy read line below it. There is no grammar checker in OS X.

Help setting up Apple mail using AT&T settings

I'm trying to set up my AT&T e-mail on my MacBook, which is running OS X Tiger (pretty sure -- definitely not Leopard). I know it's a POP3 account, and I have the incoming mail and outgoing mail settings.
When I click on mail, it starts to walk me through setting up a new account. Everything works great until I get to the outgoing mail part. It tries to connect to the server and just hangs there. I usually end up canceling because it's taking so long. If I wait long enough, I get an error message that says it couldn't connect to the outgoing mail server.
Does anyone have any experience trying to set up Apple mail with AT&T settings? If so, I'd really love the help! Thanks in advance...

AT&T had to give you more than that: port numbers for each server (incoming and outgoing), authentication method to use, and whether or not SSL should be enabled for either. We need to know that information.

Using Mavericks Spelling and Grammar in Pages document causes Pages to freeze. Must Force Quit. Mavericks spell checker works OK in Text and Emails. How can I fix this problem?

Using Mavericks' Spelling and Grammar in a Pages document causes Pages to freeze, Must Force Quit. How can I fix this problem?
Mavericlks Spelling and Grammar works in Pages when used manually. And it works automatically in Text and email.

Another autocorrect bug:
I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

Spelling and grammar not working on word

so i'm doing my university dissertation on word. the file has been working fine. i loaded a file from an external drive with a presentation on it. the spell check didn't work on the file, but that was fine. i later continued my work, but spelling and grammar won't work. i get the information shown in the screen shot attached and it won't let me view or edit the spelling and grammar option on the preferences. i've tried loads of things, including watching every youtube video on the matter that never helps. i'm no good at spelling and grammar so i really need this back asap. i've deleted all the files i was using from the external drive, i've been through loads of options to try and get it back, but no luck. please help.

Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3.

Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3 on my 27" iMac.
When searching in Apple Mail, sometimes a get a few results (with many missing), and sometimes no results at all.
I had absolutely no problems before with Snow Loepard.
I have reindexed mail and my startup drive. I have followed discussions regarding this matter and tried everything - a waste of time.
This is VERY serious for me - I have many thousands of messages that I archive and need to reference for work and clients, and now I cannot find them.

I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro

When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

Mac 10.10 (Yosemite), 365 2011for Mac, Disabling Spelling and Grammar for GCSE examinations in UK

I have a network of 20 new iMacs and manage them through a Mac OS 10.10 Server. I have created a number of groups on the server and would like
to allocate restricted permissions for each group. One group - the GCSE and Controlled Assessment group, requires access only to Word and Excel but in addition, the disabling of spelling and grammar facilities (in all its forms) across all relevant software
- for public examination purposes. I would like to do this centrally, on the server but cannot see how to disable spelling etc. without also disabling other functions. I am happy to disable the facility on each machine (which will of course, affect other users).
Any help would be gratefully received.
