How can I stop Apple Mail from scrolling to top as image loads?

Hi, I receive a daily email that includes dozens of inline images (it's the TechCrunch daily email, FYI). When I open it in Apple Mail, every time an image loads, the scroll bar jumps back to the top of the email. This effectively makes it impossible to read any of the email until after all the images load, since as I start to read it from the top, a moment later (as the next image down further in the email loads), it jumps me right back to the very top of the email. The only way I can read the email is to open it in Apple Mail and then sit there for a moment until all the images load. (I can't even switch to another window or put that email window in the background-- Apple Mail apparently is smart enough to not load images when the window isn't front-and-center.)
Needless to say, this is a super-annoying issue I haven't ever seen this in any other email program and I think it definitely counts as a bug (or at the very least, a supreme, supreme annoyance).
Anyone else seeing this, and/or have a solution?
Thanks--
Eric

This is happening to me too, and I have had enough of it! I never got around to complaining about it, and I suspect many others are the same way. However, I think it is fair to call it a 'bug' and that apple should make a statement or fix about it

  • How can I stop apple mail from autosaving drafts?

    Hello all,
    I have finally got myself a new computer and been immersed in the "new" way- my old mac was a bit like a volkswagen beetle, old and cranky but very efficient.
    This new interlaced madness is proving to be very confusing on many levels but here I will state one problem I am seeking a solution to:
    Apple mail autosaves  a copy of my email reply drafts every 30 seconds in my apple mail draft folder. - This means many copies are saved!!!
    How do I stop this?
    The reason I ask this is for the following reasons:
    1- If I don't send my reply after 30 seconds I have to manually delete the drafts.- I didn't know this until I was doing a little organising and have realised that I have quite a few drafts of the same message lying around in my google on mac (imap) "all mail" folder and these end up taking alot of space.
    2- These then get transfered to my google mail "all mail" folder and end up taking up more space.
    3- Manually deleting things from my google on mac "all mail" account is a pain in the *** because I need to delete it into the googletrash on mac and not any other deleting area. (unless I do it directly from gmail) I didn't know this until I had a read through google- the "all mail" archive is another pain in the ***.
    I was deleting these messages from my mac "all mail" mailbox and they just magically reappeared into the same "all mail" mailbox, meaning they are downloaded from the server continually- I hate to think how much more that adds to data roaming.
    Possible solutions I have tried out:
    1- uncheck the "save draft on server" box in mail;preferences;mailbox behaviour (and saving it) - I did this and tried to write a message and there it appeared as each 30 seconds passed
    2- change the mac mailbox behaviour settings to gmail Imap settings for apple mail and save these- as above, I wrote a message and it still appeared in my drafts folder, new, message appearing every 30 seconds.
    3- uncheck the "use idle command if server suppors it"  box in mail;preferences; accounts;advanced (as someone mentions in another forum) and the message still autosaves.
    HELP!
    1. This seems to be common with most people
    2. I am using gmail and IMAP on mac book pro 2012 10.7.4, lion
    3. This never happened with my volkswagen which was also a mac but from 2006
    4. Some people say this is Imap related. I have only noticed it with this apple mail and have read it has been happening to people since 2008.
    5. Look forward to new solutions

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

  • How can I stop my mail from recycling?

    Something happened with my work mail account and the mailbox was rebuilt.  On my home pc the mail account is not synching up and it appears to be in a continuous recycling mode.  I am unable to send any messages.  Incoming mail is being received from my other accounts.  I am also having problems with my id to y cox account.  The system is asking for credentials again I enter them but for some reason it is not working.

  • How can I stop Yahoo mail from automatically loading my user id and password when I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox?

    When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

    It looks like your password is stored in the password manager.

  • How do I stop Apple Mail from defaulting to Oldest Msg at Top?

    AppleCare on my iMac just ended. There are many bugs in Apple Mail but the most frustrating one is that Sort By Date at the top of the mail screen ALWAYS defaults to Old Msg at the Top when I have always had the NEWEST Msg at the Top. "Organize By Conversation" also did the same thing but now seems to stay off, which is what I want. I have even restarted after my daily selection of Newest Msg at the Top from the pop-down and while I worked it changed back to Oldest Msg at the Top.  There HAS to be a way to fix this, and AppleCare didn't seem to care about it anyway.

  • How can i stop PDF form from scrolling?

    I want to create a PDF form using Acrobat Pro XI that acts like a multi-page data input form. I'll jump to the various pages using buttons down the left side linked to pages via Javascript code. But the user can still scroll the page, which makes the form look quite strange. Is there a way to stop this scrolling, or some trick  in JS that will force pages to be displayed with their top-left corner (of each page) always sitting at the top left corner of the screen?

    Not possible.

  • How do I stop Apple Mail from re-caching attachments continuously?

    My Mail kept re-caching attachments on Snow Leopard so I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 but am facing the same problem. The Mail keeps caching attachments from all old emails even after caching them once. I have tried deleting my account and creating them again, repairing disk permissions etc. but to no avail. Have restarted the computer as well.Pls advise a permanent solution.

    In the account settings within Mail, for each IMAP account there is an "advanced" tab.  There is a "keep copies for offline viewing" option with a drop-down box that lets you pick what you want.  Choose "all messages, but omit attachments."

  • How can I stop my Macbook from going to sleep whilst I load the operating system (10.5) on?

    I'm trying very unsuccessfully to reinstall the system from scratch, so that I have a clean computer. I'm starting with 10.5 and then going to upgrade in increments from that to the last operating system the computer will run, which is 10.6.8.
    Firstly I've wiped the hard disk in Disk Tools and then started it up from the master disk of 10.5, and its telling me it will take 64 hours and some minutes to install, so I can't keep moving the mouse to stop it going to sleep for that long.
    I know it sounds as though something is wrong, but I have run both Disk Tools and Tech Tool Pro through it and both say there's nothing wrong with either the computer or the hard disk, and it was running fine (if slow - but that's its age!) prior to this clean install.
    This computer is the first of the intel Macbooks and is a single core intel processor with 1gb of Ram.
    What I need to do is to stop it going to sleep during the install, as every time it does it just halts the install and over night, for instance, I'm no further forward than I was the night before, even though I left it going all night.
    All I'm trying to do is get it to 10.6.8 so that I can run Bootcamp on it and turn it into a PC to do my accounts (and no, the software we use only runs on PC, but Paralles, VMWare Fusion etc still make it painfully slow to use, and It's bad enough having to do accounts without having to wait for it to do every move...)
    I can't go straight to 10.6 as the only copies we have of this are "drag and drop" upgrades that Apple supplied with 3 of our other Macs. Also the computer won't read dual layer DVDs (too old) so I can't load the full copy we have made of the OS.

    It's simply called Photos and there is no options/setting thing on it. I have windows 8, it's a stand alone photo library viewer.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

    Google has a support notice that may explain the problem here: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/82350?hl=en
    Apple has a built-in method for setting up Gmail accounts that makes sure that they are set up properly.
    Go to System Preferences under the Apple menu and select Mail, Contacts & Calendars. In the left-hand sidebar select the Add Account… item. In the main window select Gmail. Enter the information in the drop down sheet.
    As for Pacbell I don't know what the proper settings are and could only find these from a third party so proceed with caution. http://www.emailserversettings.com/category/pacbell
