How do I turn on Mail Preview in OS 10.8.5?

I want to be able to preview an e-mail message in Apple Mail. I have a preview pane in Mail on my MacBook Pro, but I can't find where to turn that on in my iMac.

In Mail Preferences > Viewing, uncheck the Use Classic Layout box and choose how many lines you'd like in your preview from the dropdown menu.

  • How do I turn off live preview during HDV firewire captures?

    My cpu uses a lot of cpu during HDV captures, and I know that a lot of it has to do with the live preview (ie, the window that shows you what is being captured). How do i turn this live preview off? Thanks

    If the metronome got recorded on your track from a mic with it coming out of your speakers (the only way it could have been recorded) there's no way to take it out. When you say you turned it off, did you just uncheck it in the control menu? Or did you go to the preferences and change its behavior there? I have mine set for recording only, not on playback. But if you turned it off in the control menu, then it should not be present, unless you inadvertently recorded it from your speakers as I described, and it is not going anywhere. This is one reason it is best to monitor your recording with headphones and not speakers, since anything that comes out of them will be recorded with a live mic close by.

  • How do I turn off the preview pane in Mail

    I am trying to turn off the preview pane in Mail - ultimate goal is to stop have mail mark a message as read just because I scrolled over it.  I don't want a message marked as read unless I actually open the mail item.
    fond this thread continually in earlier discussions from 2009-2011 - but othing more recent.  Surely this has been fixed by now.
    Thanks

    Drag the divider between the message list and the preview pane all the way to the right. It will pause about a 3/4 of the way, but keep dragging and it will go all the way over.

  • How do I turn off MAIL application as DEFAULT ?

    Can anyone suggest how I can TURN OFF the MAIL application from opening as an automatic default whenever I click on "contact us" on a web page, so that MAIL does NOT automatically open ? I prefer nothing to open automatically ! If anything I'd like a dialog box asking me what application I want to use.
    WHY ? Because I have great problems with MAIL, after a disastrous failed installation (and removal) of Safari 4 in 2009. Since then Safari works fine but I never use MAIL as when I do it crashes my whole system every time so I ignore it totally. However, when a web site's link "more info" triggers MAIL to open, I am lead down the merry and frustrating (!!!) path of having to recover from a crash. I'd like to avoid this once and for ever. Any ideas ?
    THANKS !

    Niel, That's exactly what I want to do: change or turn off the default email client so MAIL (apple's mail program) does not open by default. But I can't find a way of doing that, certainly not in "system preferences". I used spotlight to find "RCDefaultApp" and nothing exists by that name, or RC Default et al...

  • How do I turn a mail item into a calendar item?

    Cant find any topics on mail here but as the question relates to calander as well this is the only place I can post it.
    How can I turn an email into a calander event?
    I've have only been using a Macbook pro now for under 1 month but one critical piece of functionality has me stumped. In outlook, I could turn a mail item into a calendar or task item by simply dragging the message over the calendar icon on Outlook's folder bar and the contents would become a calendar item.
    How do I do that on the Mac? I dont rally want to use third party apps as I would have thought that this basic piece of functionality would have been included?

    Did you hover over the date?
    If the email has no date in it, it would be difficult for an automated process to add it to iCal! However, there are add-ons that provide a basic functionality, though I don't know if they've been updated for 10.8. Take a look, for example, at Mail2iCal

  • How can I turn off Mail, it interrupts operation.

    Every time i start a progrm or enter the web, Mail comes on and interrupts operation.  I am tired of always having to turn it off and would rather eliminate the program, but I have had no success.  How can I turn it off or better yet how can I eliminate the program?

  • How do i change the mail preview in Lion from a vertical read to a horizontal read

    I just switched from Snow leopard to Lion and i don't like the way that Lion has the mail preview set up as a 3 column vertical format.  I thought in Snow Leopard you could change the set-up so it's either horizontal or vertical, but I can't seem to find that option in Lion.  I want to have the list of my email messages in the top, horizontal window and the preview of the selected message in a horizontal window below. Am I missing this option to change the view format from vertical to horizontal somewhere?

    Thank you this solved my problem also... i feel like a duffus for not figuring it out onmy own but who cares I can now get back to work instead of focalising on this... YEAH !

  • How do you turn off email preview

    I have turned off email preview in settings, however the preview still remains.

    Turning off the email preview in settings only removes the lines of text from the inbox list.  Other discussion on this topic indicate there is currently no way to turn off the preview pane (window) that appears behind the list of emails on the left hand side.

  • How can I turn off Mail's Compose and Reply animations in fullscreen?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the animated opening of a "compose new mail" window when in fullscreen mode?
    I'm using Mail 6.5 under Mountain Lion.  When I'm in fullscreen mode and I either compose a new email, or reply to an email, the new mail window springs up from the bottom of the screen in an animated way.  I would prefer it to just appear.
    I was able to disable this animation when not in fullscreen mode by typing from a Terminal prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool TRUE
    However, I cannot find a way to disable it while I'm in fullscreen mode.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The only gesture that is stand is the two finger tap the goes to mission control.  You can turn that off in System Preferences > mouse.
    Also check the second column in System Preferences > Mission control > Show Desktop:
    Set to "-" as a secondary click here could cause the issue.

  • How do I turn off mail notifications?

    I already went to System Preferences > Notifications and set Mail Alert Style to "none" and also unchecking notification center, badge app icon and sound options.
    Despite taking these steps, the mail icon in my dock displays a "new email" light and dings whenever I receive a new email.
    I don't want these things to happen because they are distracting to my productivity.
    How can I disable this?
    Thanks!

    go to the mail app and go to the Mail>preferences and it should open up this tab
    On the line where it says "New Message Sound" make sure it says "none"
         - this will cure your audible "tap on your sholder"
    On the line where it says "Dock Unread Count" make sure it says "none" also.
         - this will make the red badge in your dock go away
    Where is says "Check for New Message" I would not turn that to manual or the computer wont get new messages and you will have to fetch new mail yourself under the mail app "Mail>Get New Mail" and when you are in your mailbox you probably want to see your mail at that time. So leave the Check for new message on.

  • How can I turn off the preview (overview) automatically executed when I launch Image Capture?

    I love using Image Capture, but every time I launch it, it automatically does a previes of my scanner's flatbed.  Most of the time, I don't use the flatbed.  I use the feeder to scan multiple pages. 
    My question is this:  Is there any way to turn off the automatic preview (overview) that Image Capture executes when it's launched?
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!   

    Not a direct answer.
    From Image Capture Help:
    Scan pages with a document-feeding scanner
    When you scan a document with a document-feeding scanner, the same settings are used for all the pages in the feeder. If your pages need different settings (for example, some are grayscale and some are color), separate them into different groups.
    Before you begin these steps, you need to open your scanner. For instructions, see one of these help topics:
    Scan an image
    Scan an image with Image Capture
    Scan an image with Preview
    Place the pages in the scanner’s document feeder.
    Turn on the Use Document Feeder option, if it’s present.
    Set scanning options.You may need to click Show Details to see all the available options.Here are some of the options you can set. The options available to you depend on the scanner you’re using. Some options aren’t available on all scanners, and some scanners may have more options.
    To choose the type of image being scanned, use the Kind pop-up menu.Choose Text for black-and-white images with high contrast, such as text. Choose Black & White for grayscale images. Choose Color for color images.
    To scan both sides of a page, select Duplex.
    To choose a size for the scanned image, use the Size pop-up menu.
    To choose where to save the scanned images, use the Scan To pop-up menu.If you choose a folder, the images are stored in that folder. If you choose an app, the images are opened with that app.
    To adjust the colors or exposure of the scanned image, choose Manual from the Image Correction pop-up menu, and adjust the controls.If you don’t see the image correction controls, scroll down or make the Scanner window taller.
    Click Scan.The scanner scans the pages one by one.
