Sick of email updates changed mail preferences

I'm constantly getting update emails whenever anyone responds to any thread I've participated in I've tried changing all settings to 'no' under e-mail preferences how do you stop emails except marking them as spam in my client?

To stop your emails you need to do two things.  First, go to Your Stuff - Profile- Manage Email Notifications (in the upper right hand Actions box) - either check individual threads to remove or click in the top box which will check all the threads and then click on Remove Email Notifications.
Second, also in Your Stuff but go to Preferences this time and then Email Notification Preferences.  Check no for each of the notifications you want stopped.
That should stop all the emails from ASC.
You might also make sure that you haven't subscribed to one of the communities by mistake.  To do that you have to go to the actions box in the top right corner of the sidebar and turn off those notifications as well.  That is the one that is most missed by people.

  • Error message when changing Mail preferences

    Whenever I change anything in the Preferences of Mail 2.0.8 even just opening the preferences and then closing them, I get an error message that says "Error Saving Preferences" " Writing your preferences to disk has failed. Your preferences may not have been saved. The permissions on ~/Library/Preferences may be wrong or your disk may be full." However, the change seems to have been made anyway as the expected new behavior occurs. The disk isn't full (haven't had it long enough!) and I don't know what to do about the preferences.
    Is there anything I can do to find out what might be wrong BEFORE something horrible happens? Tomorrow is back up day. Should I change anything before I do it?

    This particular issue is still a mystery to me. In the rare cases when I've seen it reported, none of the suggestions that one would expect should work did.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and type the following commands -- you can copy them here, one at a time, and paste them in Terminal to avoid having to manually type them:
    ls -ld ~/Library/Preferences
    ls -l ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    What do they say?
    If you want to try re-creating the preferences file, be sure to do it properly, i.e.:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate the com.apple.mail.plist file and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    You'll have to set up your non-Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it's enabled.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • Unable to edit email accounts mac mail preferences

    I make changes - like deleting an account and adding a new one - in Mac Mail preferences, but I don't get the pop up asking if I want to save the changes. So after I turn off Mail and turn it back on, the changes have disappeared. Any way to fix this so I can get rid of my old account and add my new one?
    Thanks!

    I went to the local Apple store earlier this week and asked on of the folks at the Genius Bar if he knew how to set the outgoing mail address. He showed me that I could enable the "reply to" field and then put my mail forwarding address into that field. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to pre-populate that field so that it always has my mail forwarding account address.

  • Why do I get Invalid Incoming Mail Server when changing mail preferences?

    I unclicked the "show notes in inbox" option and when I tried to save the changes I received a pop up box with the following message: Invalid Incoming Mail Server - The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty.
    I don't know what this means...

    Hmmm, is this an iCloud account or other account?

  • Mail preferences not sticking and sometimes change on their own.

    Maybe somebody else has seen this odd behavior. Here's the scoop:
    I clean installed 10.5.1 yesterday on my Mac Mini(1.42GHz G4, 1GB RAM)and after setting up my admin account, I immediately grabbed the 10.5.2 through Software Update. This is my first taste of Leopard and so far so good.
    Now that everything is updated, I started to configure Mail. I set up two IMAP accounts in Mail and specified certain preferences under Mailbox Behaviors. I unchecked all the boxes that had to do with storing things on the servers. Since my IMAP account quotas are fairly small, ~150MB, I don't want Mail storing anything on my company's servers. Saved the changes and started logging in to my accounts. Tested it out by sending a few messages and noticed my sent messages and deleted messages were being saved on the server. Back in to Mail preferences I go and I noticed that some of the check boxes under Mailbox Behaviors had checkmarks back in them. What gives? I didn't leave those boxes checked. Why had several of the checkmarks reappeared?
    Anyways, I've toyed with this thing for hours. It's seems to be a random problem and I don't have any clue why it happens. I've even deleted my own com.apple.mail.plst file and Mail folder multiple times to start over from scratch. I always uncheck the "store xxx on the server" boxes, but occasionally Mail turns them back on. It's happened multiple times now, so I'm getting a little paranoid about it. The last time it happened, I found the "Store draft messages on the server" re-checked under one of the IMAP accounts.
    Seems like Mail.app has a mind of its own. Any idea how to put a stop to it?

    I've done some more testing and found out several things.
    1. It doesn't matter which of my IMAP accounts I configure Mail to access. I can reset Mail (by deleting my ~/Library/Mail folder and com.apple.mail.plist file) and then reconfigure my preferences for each IMAP sever. The problem still persists.
    2. It definitely is a 10.5.2 problem. I erased the HD and reinstalled 10.5.1 from DVD onto my PowerBook G4 and then ran Mail. Configured it to access my IMAP accounts and had not problems with it. It didn't reset my "Mailbox Behaviors" preferences at all. In fact, it worked the way it's supposed to. On to step 3.
    3. I then installed the 10.5.2 combo updater(dl'ed from Apple's support website) and ran Mail. With the previous accounts still configured, it didn't mess with my "Mailbox Behaviors" at all, but when I reset Mail (by dumping my Mail folder and prefs into the trash) and reconfigured it for my IMAP accounts, the problem came back.
    4. With a fresh reset of my Mail preferences in 10.5.2, the very first email I send cannot be found in any folder until I quit out of Mail and then come back in. Checking my "Mailbox Behavior" prefs, I see that Mail has decided to put the check mark back in the "Store Sent Messages on the Server". That's not the way I set it up in the begining. This weird behviors repeats itself on the first draft message I save and the first email message I delete out of my Inbox. Mail always causes the first draft and deleted message to disappear until I quit and come back in. The "Mailbox Bevaior" prefs also get reset for storing drafts and deleted messages on the server.
    So there we have it. Many hours spent on this thing. If others want to try it out in 10.5.2, just move your Mail folder and plst file out of your home folder temporarily and re-run Mail. Put your settings in, uncheck a few boxes under "Mailbox Behaviors" and see if Mail starts messing up.
    I guess I'll be waiting for this problem to be resolved in 10.5.3. Until then, its back to 10.5.1 for me.

  • Can your Mail Preferences change without your knowledge?

    Recently I noticed that my sent messages were gone, all but about 4 weeks or so.  I checked account preferences on my MacBook Pro (fully updated to Mavericks) and it had "Delete Sent Messages From Server" set to "Never".  My other iMac also set to the same setting.  2 iOS devices syncing to the account.
    It continued to happen.  I called Apple.  They remotely rebuilt my email.  Still did not repopulate Sent folder but did repopulat Inbox.
    I called a week later (today) and went back to look at MacBook Pro mail preference settings on the accont and it had been changed from "Never" to "After One Month" (??!!??)
    I didn't make this change, nor anyone in my house.  Could this have changed in some way without my knowledge? I can't get my emails back (thanks Apple!!) but I don't want it to randomly happen again.  They insist I am crazy and the only way it would have changed is if I, after a decade with the same preferences, went in specifically to change it.
    Is this possible?  Or am I truly losing my mind???
    anyone?
    Thanks Caroline

        Ken2024,
    I can understand your concern. I want to make sure that everything is okay with the account. To get the unlimited removed from the account normally a person would have to request a plan change, upgrade a device on the account, or if you had to activate a basic phone on the line for a period of time. I can always review the account for you in full detail if you would like. I have sent you a Direct Message. Please respond back to that direct message and we can get account specifics. I hope to hear from you soon.

  • PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

    PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox.  Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
    When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions.  It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app.  But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone.  And not in the Deleted box.  Just gone.  Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up.  Please help.
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
    Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
    At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
    Next...
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
    At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
    Select All = command A

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • How do I change old out of date email addresses in Mail

    How do I change old out of date email addresses in Mail

    Mail/Preferences/Accounts - select the account using the - sign at the bottom. You also might want to go to a good account, select Outgoing mail sever (SMPT), click on the dropdown menu, select Edit SMPT server and make sure there are no servers left associated with the old e-mail addresses.

  • Changing email address in Mail

    I have to change my @virgin.net email address which I've been using for ages to a @gmail.com one. I'm unsure what will happen if I use the new Mail setup assistant on my iMac - will I then have access in Mail to the two accounts prior to me closing the old one? That would be great.
    I also have mail set up on a MacBook which I use when travelling.  Do I just do the same on that?
    Any other tips gratefully received but please note I'm not great at this - no jargon please.

    You can have more than one email address at the same time.
    In Mail Preferences > Accounts, click the + sign and add a new account.
    You old one will still exist, even if it does not get much use.

  • Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed.

    Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed.  There is now only a short three item menu:
    Previously there was a longer menu (like the one when right clicking an item on a Safari page):
    I've looked in Preferences and at all the Mail dropdown items but can't find any way to get the old menu back (or why it changed).  In particular, I miss the "copy image" item which allowed me to copy an item image into a new email for forwarding.  I've got two email accounts, an IMAP and a POP.  The behavior is the same with both.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Your screen shots are not visible to me.  But I think I understand your question.
    Several thoughts come to mind:

    You can still, of course, simply forward the entire email message containing the image.
    You could also use the "Save Attachment ..." feature available when you right click and copy and paste from there once the image is saved.
    Less likely, you could also use the "Share" feature available when you right click, though I suspect it may not offer sharing options that you would like.

  • Mail Preferences, iCloud.  Incoming Server (IS) info is gray.  Password can't be changed until IS info is input!  How to change?

    I am in the process of changing my iCloud password.  I cannot do this in Mail.  And until I do this in Mail, I can't receive any mail in iCloud.
    Under Mail Preferences/iCloud/Incoming Server.  Info is there, except it is gray.  I can't change it, or make it appear in black no matter what I do.  Nor is the info showing up in the Server information.  Mail Preferences for iCloud will not allow me to change my password until I input Incoming Server info !!  What do I do?
    ICloud under Apple Support allowed me to change the password. But I'm in a rut until this is straightened out.  What to do?

    Hi mate, thanks for the info, the original Server p09- etc remains in the box in Mail Preferences, but I went into
    System Preferences Mail section and entered your suggestion in the imap box.
    I ran a test email, IT WORKS!
    You certainly deserve to double your status of Level 2 (12,355 points).
    All my best wishes.
    Incidentally, I'm a retired electrician, so if anybody in the community needs a question answered, let me know.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design.

    When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.
