Can I stop email from being sent?

I have a number of email accounts configured in outlook 2010.
I want to prevent email from being sent via one of the accounts.
CAN I do this?
If so How?
I have tried to change the SMTP address to be invalid.
It does not send, and does not give me an error.
When I close outlook it tells me emails have not been sent. I have no idea where these emails r.
When I restart it, it resets the smtp address and sends the email.

thx for the reply
The problem I am trying to work around is ppl using outlook try to send/reply/fwd emails using those old addresses. Outlook must be configured to rcv mail from clients using those addresses. So if the old email address is set as FROM I want to stop it from
being sent.
if i set the smtp address to an invalid the test never completes and I can never get to the end of that wizard.
If I go back and look at it it is still the invalid address after I cancel the wizard.
If i try to send mail it appears to do it after a long pause and i can't find the email anyplace -but it is not sent.
If i shut down and restart outlook it is back to the valid address and the mail gets sent.
I have it set only rcv, not send, that address in the group but that doesn't work.

How can I stop email from being deleted on computer?

I upgraded from a 3gs to a 4s today. Everything is working fine except my email. On my 3gs I had my email set up to never delete from the server that way I could delete the mail on my phone but not on my computer. With the new 4s I can't find the never delete from server option. Can anyone help me? It's a hotmail address that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!

Look in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>tap your hotmail account>Look through the settings (usually under Advanced)

How do I prevent my emails from being sent without my hitting the send key. Many of my emails are just "taking off" and sending while I am in the middle of typing. If this is a keyboard shortcut, I must disable it, so how do I do that

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Outlook is a Microsoft product, I'd suggest posting on the Office for Mac Product Forums.

How to stop an email from being sent after I hit send?

How can I immediately stop an email from being sent after clicking "send"?
I can't seem to find any info on this. I am assuming that it is impossible. Correct?

When sending the emails with larger attachments that take a little time to actually upload and get out, you can open the activity viewer by pressing command-0 (or is it command-o?--)--it may also be under the window menu at the top--I'm not at my Mac right now to check. The activity viewer has a stop button on it. After you stop it, you should be able to either delete the email from the outgoing mail folder or drag that email to another folder, such as the drafts folder. I've done this a few times without a problem.

SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing!

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

Suddenly I am unable to send emails, which are being blocked due to "suspicious activity." Yahoo help notes it is probably my ISP that is preventing my emails from being sent. How can I unblock this?

On Friday afternoon, I attempted to reply to emails in my Yahoo Inbox, but I received a pop-up message preventing me from sending the emails. It said that my emails cannot be sent due to suspected "suspicious activity" on my email account and cannot send it in order to protect me and those I am attempting to send the messages to. I looked up Yahoo Help and the online suggestion was that my ISP might be blocking the email and I might have to change my ISP address. My antivirus software carrier's server went down briefly a couple of weeks ago and I could not upload the updates until they were up and running again. I had some suspicious emails generated from my account during that time, without my knowledge. I changed my password immediately and updated my Email Protection through my antivirus software program. But now I can't send emails. Any suggestions? Thank you!

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

Can't stop emails from PC showing up on Pearl

A minor issue, but somewhat annoying.
I would like to stop receiving emails on my Pearl, that have been sent from my PC ( I don't mind it the other way around as it keeps a nice record of all traffic on my PC).
I have read the user manual, and various forum posts, but they all seem to be relating to Enterpise Software which, as I understand it, is mainly for businesses. The user manual quite 'cheekily' gives the option to
'Stop storing messages sent from your computer on your device'
... and then gives the following instructions;
1. In a message list, press the Menu key.
2. Click Options.
3. Click Email Settings.
4. Press the Menu key.
5. Click Folder Redirection.
6. Clear the check box beside the Sent Items folder.
           Note: I have no 'Sent Items folder at this point… not sure if it needs a software update, or what
7. Press the Menu key.
8. Click Save
It is at Step 6 that I get left in the dust - no 'Sent Items' to select.
I'm just a lowly single-user, but I've got to believe that there is a way to stop this traffic.
Thanks in advance.

Much simpler than the above steps you posted....

JSlider - can limit / stop knob from being dragged?

Hi all,
Is there any way to disable the knob on a JSlider to stop the user dragging it past a certain point? Am using state changed event to reset the value to stop it being clicked past a point, but it can still be dragged. Help!
Thanks

That's not what it's meant for, but you can tweak setExtent (...) to prevent the slider being dragged beyond (max - extent).
A caveat: calling setExtent with an argument greater than (max - value) will result in the extent being set to (max - value).

How can I stop conversations from being linked together in Mail? I don't like that feature.

I don't like that conversations are linked together in mail. It always scares me that I sent something to someone who it wasn't intended for. Sometimes the conversations are relevant but most of the time one email has absolutely nothing to do with another email so I don't see why they are linked together. I have looked all through the mail preferences but I don't see any options to change it.
Does anyone has the same thoughts and any solution?

Yes this worked! Thank you! Also sometimes my mail completely disappears and then it comes back but I'm not sure why it does that and sometimes the search feature works and sometimes it doesn't.

Can I stop emails from pushing to my iphone/ipad when I've read them on my Mac first?

I'm currently deleting the same email 3x.
Alternatively, if I delete an email on my Mac can it be set to automatically delete the same email on my devices?

You will have to delete the emails on every device for the POP account.
Check your Yahoo account and change to IMAP if needed.

How can I stop text from being show when I print it?

You can see the webpage I am working on here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
I created a staylesheet called "print.css" and added the following lines to my Resume.html file:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
In my Resume.html file I have a link that will print a PDF of my resumé. However, if you print the resumé then I do not want the link to print the resumé to be shown.
In the print.css I created the following class:
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
I applied the class to the 'offending' text, thus:
<a href="PDFs/Peter A. Forkes - Resume.pdf">Resume.pdf</a>
however, it does not seem to have any effect. I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
If you can suggest either how to make my method work (or suggest a better method) that that should mean that I have finished everything I want to do with my webpage.
Thanks,
Peter

I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
The problem with the CSS is that you've targeted the tag with the rule, not the <a> tag so it has no effect. Normal text in that paragraph will print in white but links will display in #333 because of your rule on a:link and a:visited
Nevertheless, I would avoid those tricks in case you incur the displeasure of the search engines. They're widely used by spammers and are punished accordingly (even though I know we're talking about a print stylesheet and your intentions are honourable :-).
In your print stylesheet, change
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
to
.doNotPrint {
display:none;

Aside from force-quitting the Finder, I've never seen anything that allows for getting rid of the delay.
