Can I uninstall the Mail application?

Hi,
I would like to disable the Mail application. I've disabled my email account, within Mail. However, if I right click on a "pic" that I want to email, the system will still only select the Mail application to send it. I would prefer to be able to select "Outlook" to send the pic. Is this possible? Thank You.

Not sure if there is a way to delete or disable Mail?
What I do is, export the image(s) from iPhoto to my desktop and then Attach the image(s) to my AT&T Yahoo mail.

I can't find the mail application

Hi, I just bought a second-hand macbook air (model 2009, os x leopard) and I can't find the mail application. Maybe the previous owner deleted it or something? If so, how can I get it back? (sorry for bad English)

This is a photo of what i see. It's completely different! The text on the DVD says: Applications Install DVD. it must be it
This is not correct.
I have never seen an Applications Install DVD.
I said to use the OS install DVD. It should be in:

Can't open the mail application since updating to 10.6.6

Hi,
Since I updated to 10.6.6 I can no longer open my mail application. I get a message stating that "You have version 4.3 (1081/1082) of mail. It can not be used with the Mac OS X Version 10.6.6."
When I was updating my mail was not in the application folder but within a separate folder in the app folder, so it may not have been updated.
Now my question is how do I solve this, I can't work properly without the mail application!
Thank you!
Svanton

Hi Svanton,
One suggestion would be to take the Mail App out of the folder you put it in and then download and install the 10 6 6 Combo Update…
Available Here...

I would also recommend doing a Permissions Repair both Before and After running the Update…
Hope this Helps,
Cheers

Can't find the mail application

Hello everyone:
How can I get my mail application back. I only got the icon with the "?" on it on the dock.
Someone probably trashed the app without knowing. Any help please...thanks

check in the Applications folder at the root level of your hard drive using finder.
If it's there drag it to the dock and drag teh question mark off the dock. If it's not there insert leopard install DVD, open "optional installs" folder, double-click on optional installs.pkg and follow the instructions to install Mail. when done reinstall 10.5.5 combo update to bring Mail up to date.

HT1146 I can not open the mail application. I receive the following message: Esta version de mail no puede usarse con esta version de Mac OSX

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

I can't open the mail application

it shows me a message of Reopen and then it close. it doesn't allow me to open my mail. And before it was working perefectly.

Have you at any time moved Mail from its normal home in the /Appications folder?
If so, it's likely the old version would have been left around and the proper version is likely in the /Applications folder.

How can I set up hotmail in the mail application

Hi
How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
Thanks

Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

I would like to have an email account that is password-protected that I can access on my Mac, Iphone and Ipad, separate from the Mail application, with an alert button that indicates unread messages

Try a search... I'm sure if you put forth a little effort you can find a solution that will work for you.

Cannot now open the mail application - any clues as to how i can fix this ?

Just downloaded Yosemite and cannot now open the mail application - how can i get this back ?
thanks

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all mail, whether sent or received, as 5th (of whatever month it is). The computer clock is working, so it's not that. And the time seems to be right. I have no problem with my MacBook. Can anyone help, please?

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all emails, in or out, as 5th (of whatever month it is). It seems to get the time right.
The computer clock is fine. I have no problem with my MacBook - just with the I-Mac. Any ideas, please?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Can the Mail applications on Mac and iPhone talk to each other?

I have synced my Gmail account to the Mail application on my MacBook Pro. During the day, I am out and about receiving, reading, and deleting emails on my iPhone, and when I get home and turn on the computer, I see all of those messages still there in my inbox, unread. Is there a way for the mac Mail app and the iPhone mail app to talk so that messages that are read in one place show up as read in the other place?

I could have this thread moved to the iPhone forum. The iPhone gurus hang out there... let me know if you want to switch and I will ask a moderator to transfer the thread. I don't want to give you the wrong information.
You could try searching this forum also. http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1144
