Can I use Thunderbird instead of Apple Mail application

Hi,
I like Apple's Mail application but it is slow in communicating with AOL. Thunderbird does pretty well and
will both read and send emails via AOL.
But when I use iPhoto or another application and want to share
a picture via email it opens the Apple Mail application by default. Then I must wait for it to talk to AOL, forever.
Can't I somehow make Thunderbird the default outgoing mail app?

I think the problem is that iPhoto won't let me select Thunderbird as the email application for sending photos. Apparently it only will use Eudora, the AOL reader, Mail, and i think one other program but not Thunderbird.

  • I can´t open multiple windows in apple mail application.

    When redacting a new mail, I have to close the new window and save the message if I have to look for information in the inbox. Before upgrading to Yosemite, I used to change windows simply by selecting the window that i needed in the "window" menu. Now when I try to do that nothing happens.

    Yes, this works tks. However, it shows as if i have opened 3 windows if i do this: 1) the original window with the inbox -that i cannot use- 2) the window where I am writing the new message and 3) the new viewer window with the inbox. If I try to write a new additional message I have even more windows. Any suggestion just to get as it used to work with previous OS versions? 

  • Can I use Thunderbird for emailing photos from iPhoto?

    Under +Preferences>General>Email photos using+: gives me two options. One Mail and another Entourage. Now I am using Thunderbird for my mailing needs. How can I make iPhoto to use Thunderbird instead of Mail? Thanks!

    In the Preferences to Mail there's an option to "Check for New Messages" and if you select "Manually" I think that will do what you want. However, as it's more a Mail query than an iPhoto one I would pop it on the Mail forum for your version of the OS.
    Of course there are other ways to get photos to an email client. Does Thunderbird have a Media browser? You can access your Library from one - or make one in Automator which takes a couple of seconds. Or you can access your Library from every Open... or Attach... dialogue in the OS.

  • I can no longer send from my apple mail since icloud.

    I have made a mess of things. I can no longer send from my apple mail since icloud.  My outgoing mail remains offline no matter how I reconfigure it.
    How do you check your tls certificate?  Is is me.com or mac.com?
    I am so frustrated.

  • I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

    I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
    Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process,  compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
    Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer.
    What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
    generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
    another one I have.
    When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
    Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
    ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
    introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
    the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
    outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
    So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
    default from Acrobat or any other software ?
    Thank you for your next message.

  • Can i use exchange 2010 in the mail(4.5)?

    Can i use exchange 2010 in the mail（4.5）？
    i can't use exchange 2010 in the mail （4.5），but i can use normally in the mail （3.6）。why？

    Of course you can use your iPhone in the rain but since devices are not waterproof, nobody in their right mind would recommend it. The risk is yours and an out-of-warranty repair might cost more than a few bucks.
    I highly recommend you read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3302
    And some kind of a protective casing if you insist on using the device in the rain.
    Live long and prosper!

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

    How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
    Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
    I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE  MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
    Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
    Thanks

    There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

  • HT5132 can i use iCloud instead of MobileMe?

    can i use iCloud instead of MobileMe?

    iCloud can be used to sync your documents between iCloud-ready applications to your mobile devices, but you cannot use it to host web galleries. For this you will need to find a different host, for example the ftp-site of your internet provider. Export your web galleries to your hard drive and upload them to your new web host using ftp (I use Cyber Duck for this).
    See Roger Wilmut's page (the last line on the page addresses links to photo galleries):
    Migrating from Mobile Me:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/migrate/frommobileme3.html
    And if you need a replacement for your iDisk, see this user tip by Winston Churchill:
    Winston Churchill: Using iCloud as an iDisk:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2711
    If you create your web pages with iWeb, you can still use the iWeb application, but you need to patch it a little, because iWeb references icons (arrows) on MobileMe, that may not longer exist: See this guide by Old Toad and Roddy, on how to do this:
    Modify the iWeb Application: http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html

  • I know this may be a lame question, but can I use Thunderbird with my Chrome browser and gmail account?

    I don't presently have firefox browser and have been very comfortable with Chrome for years now; can I use Thunderbird with my Chrome browser? I want to manage a large mailing list for a non-profit group that wants me to use Thunderbird.
    thank you,
    Reuben

    If you got someone else email than that's a BIG error and it has nothing to do with whatever client you are using. You send your credentials to gmail and they connected to another account, not even Google would like to do that.
    Either you send the wrong credentials and then you happend to have the same password as this other account. Try using webmail on that account.
    Change your password!!! If you can access that account he/she can access yours.

  • Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
    If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
    So it is possible, but it can also be a pain.
