How to use Apple Mail to send outgoing emails only?

Hello,
I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for elsewhere on the interwebs.
I want to be able to set up the Apple Mail app on my Mac to send outgoing emails only from my Gmail account. I use the Gmail website and my iPhone for sending/receiving emails and I don't want or have a need for all of my Gmail emails to be downloaded into the Apple Mail app or for new emails to appear in the Mail app as they come in.
I just want to be able to send outgoing emails from the app so that I can send photos directly from iPhoto using the Email button. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Great news, thanks!

How to use java mail to send email to hotmail box

how to use java mail to send email to hotmail box??
i can send emails to other box(my company's email account) but for hotmail, the program didnt print any err or exception the recepient cant receive the mail.
thanks

you ust to download activation.jar and mail.jar and add them to your build path.
i have used the googlemail smtp server to send mail the code is following:
public void SendMail()
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.user", username);
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", port);
try{
     Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator(username,password);
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, auth);
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setText(text);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(senderEmail));
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(receiver));
Transport.send(msg);
}catch(Exception ex) {
     System.out.println("Error Sending:");
System.out.println(ex.getMessage().toString());
and this the SMTPAuthenticator Class which you will need too.
class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {
     private String fUser;
     private String fPassword;
     public SMTPAuthenticator(String user, String password) {
     fUser = user;
     fPassword = password;
     public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
     return new PasswordAuthentication(fUser, fPassword);
     }

How to prevent Apple Mail from downloading old emails from Yahoo (Imap)

I started using Apple Mail and decided to use it to access my yahoo mail. Apple mail worked well in setting up my account but the problem is I have more than 10,000 emails in my yahoo account and Apple mail is downloading each and every one of them. Even if i choose for it not to download attachments, it will still take a long time to download. Is there a way or Mail to just download emails starting now, or at least within this year only?

Good question. I have the same issue. Too many old Yahoo emails. My iMac struggles to download the email to the client and it doesn't work - it seems to time out and stop downloading the old mail.

How to use Yahoo Mail to send email using email links on webpages

When I'm on a webpage that has a link to send an email, I cut and paste the the email address (which is the link) and paste it into my Yahoo Mail address bar. However, some webpages don't show the email address as a link. Instead, the link might be "write me" or "send mail", so I can't cut and paste an address.
If I click on an email link, a window pops up that says "Welcome to Mail" and it states that the assistant will guide me through the steps to configure my email account. To get started, this assistant requires a password that I don't possess.
So I'm stuck not being able to access an email application that I don't want to use in the first place.
Is there a way to set up my computer so that I could click an email link on a webpage and have Yahoo Mail pop up?
If not, is there at least a way to send an email using an email link that doesn't show the email address, without using (what I assume to be) the Apple mail Application? If it is necessary, how do I recover the password for the mail assistant? I'm not aware of ever having used or set up a password before.
THANK YOU

If you don't want Mail to open, don't click on the app. If it's opening at login, right click its Dock icon>Option>de-select Open at Login.

Huge problem using apple mail while sending email to a group...

Hey - I am quite confused... apple mail has huge problems using groups with about 150 addresses when writing and sending an email... the writing of emails is nearly impossible. Once the group name is inserted in the addressline (address book in iCloud!), apple mail uses nearly 100% CPU and further writing is nearly impossible. When sending such an email, all addresses are suddenly visible - though the box is NOT checked and the addresses should be hidden... what can I do? I use this feature (sending mails to groups) on a daily basis and cannot accept visible addresses...
Greetings and sorry for inconvenient english...
Christof

How about next time you send to the group, cc yourself, or include yourself in the group. Then receive the email on the iphone, you can "reply all" in order to send to the group. If you use an imap account, you can make a new folder, call it something like "groups", and save different group emails there for the next time you need to "reply all".

Before you send your email, go to Message > Text Encoding and choose one of the Chinese encodings, like GB for simplified and Big 5 for traditional. You might have to try different ones, or UTF-8.

Apple Mail keeps sending my email from another address

When I got my Mac, I added two email addresses (both Gmail server but different "@ portions" i.e. @gmail.com and @___.org). I've deleted the @___.org email because it didn't matter whether I sent it from one email or the other, they both end up in sent items of mny @___.org email. So even replies from my @gmail.com address gets sent to the other email.
So yeah I've deleted the other email and I'm pretty sure I didn't link the two accounts on Gmail so I'm not sure what's happening.
Anyone know how to solve this? Cheers

*so even replies TO my @gmail.com even

How do I configure mail app to show email only from "Primary" tab in gmail?

We all know that Gmail layout has changed. I would like to know if there is any way to filter/select only mails from Primary tab to be displayed in Mail app on Mavericks OSX??

When you type in the search box, it will show a list of options. If it's a person select the person and it will show in the search box. You can then select option. Add a second token and you'll get options for it as well.

Mac Mail No Longer Sends Outgoing Email

Has Verizon changed its email settings? My Mac Mail program suddenly quit sending out my university email from home and says the outgoing verizon server rejected the password. However, nothing has been changed in my email program and it won't accept any password to send the outgoing email.
The online instructions provided by Verizon for Entourage indicate changing the outgoing port setting to 587. But that does not work.
Why can't the Mac Mail program send out email through Verizon any more?
Solved!

Thanks for helping. While the university has web mail for off campus access, our IT said that off campus users (i.e., when at home) using a dedicated email client (e.g., Mac Mail) should send outgoing email through their internet service provider. I agree, it doesn't seem right to me, but that's what they have us do.
Settings that worked previously: The incoming server is a pop account, mail.cahnrs.wsu.edu with a user name and password. The outgoing server is outgoing.verizon.net using port 587 with user name and password.
The university email is generally [email protected] But it could also be [email protected]
Until about two days ago, these settings were working fine, so it seems like something changed somewhere.
Thanks very much for any help you can offer.
So when you're off-campus, are you still in Washington? If so, you're in an area that's been sold to Frontier, and it's entirely possible that your email access has been converted. You can contact Tech Support if you need help setting things up and/or verifying the status of your account. I was able to find this via Google, hopefully it will help you:
http://www.frontierhelp.com/faq.cfm?qstid=1
Basically it says your SMTP server should be smtp.frontier.com, but there's also a link-off that appears to provide walk-throughs for configuring your client.
Hope this helps!

Cannot get or send mail using Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad

Everyone in my household cannot get or send mail on their Apple Mail for iPad and iPhone. We all get the same message: "The user name or password for [account] is incorrect." This just started happening yesterday afternoon. No problems before that. I called my hosting company and Apple, and both blamed the other. My Apple system is always updated, so I have the latest version of Maverick. Had no problems with it up until now.
However, I awoke this morning to find downloaded emails in the same program, but when I go to "get mail," it says the same thing, and still won't allow me to send or receive.
Here's the kicker. I also use Gmail with the exact same accounts (yes, I need both since Apple Mail does things that Gmail doesn't, and vice versa). No problem! I get all my emails and can send with no problem. So, my hosting company claims it can't be them (makes sense). It only happens using Apple Mail, and I have several email addresses. None of them work (other than the strange phenomena of suddenly getting some of them downloaded for no apparent reason).
What do I do from here? I've changed passwords, deleted and tried to set up my emails, only to get the message that they probably will not work. And they don't. I have shut down and restarted my iPad and iPhone, to no avail.
Thank god for my Gmail account, or my business would be closed.
Again, this is happening on four devices in my home: 2 iPads and 2 iPhones.

I have a comcast account I use on my phone and use it for receiving and sending mail. When you look at the account in settings, you need to check each of these
incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
username: the part of your email address before the @
password: your password
outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
Under Advanced
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 995
If you cannot make it work from changing settings in the account, delete the account and start over. Use the "Other" setting when starting the account. It is a POP3 account and make the entries I gave you. Once you do that, it should check the entries and validate the account. You shouldn't have any trouble from there. Those settings will work from either the iPhone on cell, or wireless. Mine will even work when I'm at home on my wireless there, which is on the Comcast network.
Hope that helps you.

More details on the particular "adjustments", please?
AFAIK, there's no documented to insinuate a change into an outbound SMTP message (if that's what you're up to here) within Apple Mail.
Most commonly, these sorts of header adjustments arise at an intermediate mail server. Usually spam filters have something similar.
If these particular "adjustments" are possible within Mail, then it's likely via the undocumented plugins API underneath Apple Mail. And, well, that API is not documented. And the plugins API has changed at various Apple Mail updates, too; it's clearly not a stable API.

I seem to have multiple problems related or unrelated. I cannot use Apple Mail for blueyonder and mostly for gmail as both show that the server is off line. My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with pop up windows on nearly every command

Firstly I am unable to use Apple mail except for hotmail, for blueyonder, gmail or Sky as the server shows as (off line) and I have no idea how to get them on line even though I tell them to go there.
My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with advertising windows virtually on ever command I make, one seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from.
When I am in an email with a web link the web link doesn't work and I get a window saying that I must have a pop up blocker, but if I switch it off it is no different, what does work is switching the "enable Java script off", then when I get to the web site I can't use it until I switch the java script back on.
I can't do a screen shot either full or partial, when I try it changes the web site that is on screen to another.
So what have I done that might have caused problems, downloading Yosemite seemed to be the start of the problems. Since then I have started to install Mackeeper, after checking with a family members who should know, that MacPaw is safe. I decided that I didn't want to pay the subscription, so went through the uninstall instructions but it comes up as a pop up with considerable regularity.
My stress levels have gone through the roof with pop ups happening so regularly and not being able to use Apple mail.o can anyone help please?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.

We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.
