Can't access fonts in when composing a new email

When I start a new message in mail, if I want to change the font I can't access the font tool either by selecting the font button in the outgoing message tool bar or by the drop down format menu ( or by "command T"). I can, however, go into preferences and change fonts universally. Basically if I cut and paste a sentence from another message or word doc into an outgoing mail message that is a different size or font and I want to make all the fonts the same, mail won't let me.

The mystery, however, is I have no problem with my email and contacts when I log into Safari..... Using the same Yahoo provider !

I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem.

How to remove a from email address when composing a new email?

when I compose a new email in the from drop down list there are three emails that are mines that i can use. there is an @icloud.com email there that i did not create. how do i remove it?

Hi, AC360.
First, ***** won't help you here. People here are users just like you and I, and as both of us, they like to be treated with respect. So, adding bad-word-like characters won't get you any faster or closer to your solution. And even if you don't want it, you got it. iCloud is here to stay and until Apple decides to change its cloud-based service name, we'll all have icloud.com e-mail addresses.
But as stated before, you didn't lose your @me.com address and you're not forced to use your icloud.com one.
Now, focusing on your problem, since you're annoyed because the @icloud.com address is listed in your "from" drop-down, you can simply remove it from there by:
1. Access iCloud web interface at www.icloud.com
2. Click the Mail icon (it's the blue one with an envelope in the middle. You can't miss it. )
3. On the top right corner of the next screen, you'll see a gear-like icon. Click it.
4. Click "Preferences"
5. Click "Composing"
6. In the "Send From" section, uncheck the address [email protected] (where "yourname" is your own iCloud username)
7. Click "Done"
8. You're done.
See? Problem solved. Now you can sleep tight not worrying about what Bad Apple tried to force down your throat.
Hope I have helped.
Be good, stay calm, and respect other children here at the playground, ok?
Cheers,

My browser is Firefox, my email program is Yahoo, when composing a new email, how would you increase the font of size of the characters?

I am using Firefox browser, My email program is Yahoo.com and my Home page is Yahoo. My OS is Windows XP. When composing an email I sometimes want to increase the print size of the text in the email. I do not know the procedure to do this. Is sometimes prints very small.
there some way that I can correct this problem?
Thank you,
Jeanette Gonzales

Hi [email protected],
If you are talking about the font only in your email, then that's a yahoo issue:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/basics/basics-21.html
If you think EVERYTHING is too small, you can try using [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-zoom Zoom]. This will increase/decrease the size of everything on the page. You can try hitting ''CTRL and +'' a few times to try it out. ''CTRL and 0'' will return it to normal size.
If that isn't what you are looking for you, you might want to look into some of the [[Accessibility]] options. There is lots of good information in that article.
Hopefully this helps!

When composing a new email, my Contact list says I have none... I have over 100 !

The TO box used to auto fill when I started typing if an address was in my Contact list. The + at the end of the area for an email address says I have no Contacts

The mystery, however, is I have no problem with my email and contacts when I log into Safari..... Using the same Yahoo provider !

No font options in the toolbar when composing a new message? Why not?

Don't get me wrong my fellow Mac-brothers - I love the Mail.app especially in Leopard. But I'm curious about something and I'm tired of scratching my head because I have no hair left and my head is starting to hurt, hehe.
When composing a new email, everything that is common and practical is displayed (or can be displayed) on the customizable toolbar but to me it seems counterintuitive to exclude the a font options button. I also think it's weird to not have a simple line for font options (ie. typeface menu, font size menu, color, bold/italic/underline, justification, etc.) below the subject line and/or account and signature line as opposed to (or in addition to) the current, detatched-window method which I find odd.
I'm honestly very surprised the Mail.app is not designed that way. Outlook for Windows has a font option line when composing a new message and I guess it would just seem logical for Apple to maybe implement something similar. I think a dedicated line in the message window would be a more simplistic solution.
What is your take on this idea? =)
Either way, Mac's rule.

You can tell Apple how you want Mail changed, just go here:

If you want a mail program designed for people who like Outlook, you can get MS Entourage.

How do you add pictograph favorites to font selection when composing mail messages?

I located the desired symbols from the "Characters" selection when I chose the Format menu and opened the gear symbol on the bottom lefthand of the pulldown menu. Now I do not understand how to place these "Favorite" symbols I identified placed into my Font selection for easy access or use when composing mail messages.

Hi skrug1967!

I have a lot of books on my Kindle/Amazon account. I have downloaded the Kindle app onto my IPAD mini by can only access my books when connected to WIFI, how can I read them off-line?

Yes, you've missed the download step.
Open the Kindle app and navigate to your Library. There is a tab at the bottom that says Cloud | Device. Tap the Cloud tab and tap the books you want to download to the device. You will see a progress indicator during the download. Once it's done, read away!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

When composing a new message in mail on OS X 10.9.2, is there a way to change the "sending" account on a per-message basis?

I just got a new MacBook Pro and when composing a new message, I can no longer choose which e-mail account I want to use for the new message. It also does not show which account I'm using in the e-mail composition panel. Is there a way to fix this?

Click on the pull down window next to From: and you should be able to select the individual account you want to send from. The account that you want to send from must be an Enabled account in the Account Preferences of Mail.

Can't access my backup to store on new phone. i see that it was backed up yesterday at 1:39 got the new iPhone 6 my contacts came over but none of my pictures

What photos are you referring to? Are these photos that are in the Camera Roll and Photo Stream albums on the device you backed up, or are they in different albums? Are you signed onto the new phone with the same iCloud ID? Are the Photo Stream photos ones that have been taken in the past 30 days?
When you set up the new phone did you set it up using that backup?
