Can't Get Form to E-Mail

Hi again, everyone.
I've been trying to set up a registration form with a
"mailto:" Submit so that I can have the registration information
sent to me. I've checked several books and followed the
instructions on three or four Web sites, and still can't get it to
work.
I've set up the "mailto:" option in the form code, and
clicking on the Submit button opens a new message with the "To:"
and "Subject:" fields filled in properly, but the form is not
attached and an empty message gets sent.
I don't know if it matters, but I'm using Firefox for mail.
Thanks in advance for your help!

There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on
their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2 is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
problems of method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with
server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
your needs,
but if it's Method 2, then start by asking your host what
they provide for
form
processing.

When initiating an e mail to someone with several addresses used in the past the one I use most often does not come up in the first position. How can I get these multiple e mails prioritized?

When initiating an e mail to someone with several addresses used in the past the one I use most often does not come up in the first position. How can I get these multiple e mails prioritized?

We are talking about the Mail app, right? In the Mail menubar, click on Window and then Previous Recipients:
That eliminates the previous recipients. If you are talking about the suggestions because there are 10 people with the name 'Steve' in your Contacts, then I do not know how to eliminate those unless you change the name slightly or wait until you type the last name or some other differentiator.

HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

I can't get my second e-mail to verify

Question - I can't get my second e-mail to verify.

Check the sync settings for the email; see if it is set to sync at all, or what the interval is set at. I set mine to every 15 minutes for 30 minutes .... Go to settings > Accounts > Email > Choose the email account and it should have Sync settings where you can set up the schedule.
You also should be able to open the email account, and sync within it manually, regardless of the sync settings.

On my iPad and iPhone I am getting errors that it can't get the Yahoo! mail to go through, it won't verify the data.

I can't get mai on the iPad or iphone (and maybe the macbook pro) from Yahoo!. It won't verify the info and has me to authenticate using safari. I hav a PLUS account, have deleted and restarted a new account, but no verif. It used to work, but has quit. Especially worse since running iOS 5. Apple is scheduled for expresslane for 4 - 5 days out. I don't have a current phone number for Yahoo! or I'd be bugging them. It just won't verify even after changing passwords. GMail and iCloud work fin. Any ideas ?

Bwilbraham-
Is your iPad able to access the internet using Safari? If not, I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network at Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.
If you are able to access the internet, then there may be a glitch in your iPad Mail setup you are overlooking. It could be something like the letter O where a zero should be, a space where none is allowed or a backward slash (\) where a forward slash (/) is required.
One other thing you can try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Can't get past "Welcome to Mail" screen

I have been trying to set up my Apple Mail account to access my Gmail account but find I can't get past the initial "Welcome to Mail" screen. When I click on the Mail Icon the screen that tells me I have no e-mail account and asks for the basic e-mail account info including the POP and SMTP address. The problem though is all the set up instructions I have require me to go through the "Preferences" from the Mail's pull down menu, but it, along with almost every other command, is greyed out when the "Welcome to Mail" screen is in the forefront.
I've tried filling in the info requested on the "Welcome to Mail" screen with my Gmail account info (and yes, I've set my Gmail account for POP mail) but Apple Mail can't connect to Gmail with the limited info provided.
So the question is how does one get past the "Welcome to Mail" screen to access the Preferences in the Mail program so I can fill in all the necessary information to get the Apple Mail to work?

The Account Setup “Assistant” is a pain, indeed. It’s unbelievable how lame that “feature” is. After setting up the first mail account, you can bypass it by holding the Option (Alt) key down when clicking the [+] button in Preferences > Accounts, but it appears to be unavoidable when setting up Mail for the first time. There are two things you can do about it, though:
(1) Let it time-out. It may take a few minutes, but you can do other things with the computer in the meanwhile.
(2) Shut down the Internet connection so that Mail times-out immediately, and go online again when done.

Can't open forms after sendin mail

Hi
I have a problem with sending mail with attachement
I'm using stored package send_mail to to send mail via outlook
Everything is Ok and mail was successful sent on specified mail adress, but after that I can not open any forms from my menu
I'm using 6i forms, 10gDB
Can anybody help, please
Thanks

Hi , UG
Thanks for your answer
First:
Sorry, I made mistake , I'm using OLE2 in forms to send mail, not stored package
Here is code ( package body on forms level )
PACKAGE BODY mail_pkg IS
session_outbox OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
session_outbox_messages OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
message1 OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
msg_recp OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
recipient OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
msg_attch OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
attachment OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
procedure logon( Profile IN varchar2 default NULL )is
Begin
session := ole2.create_obj('mapi.session');
/* create the session object */
args := ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,Profile);/* Specify a valid profile name */
ole2.invoke(session,'Logon',args);
/* to avoid the logon dialog box */
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
End;
procedure logoff is
Begin
ole2.invoke(session,'Logoff');
/* Logoff the session and deallocate the */
/* resources for all the OLE objects */
ole2.release_obj(session);
ole2.release_obj(session_outbox);
ole2.release_obj(session_outbox_messages);
ole2.release_obj(message1);
ole2.release_obj(msg_recp);
ole2.release_obj(recipient);
ole2.release_obj(msg_attch);
ole2.release_obj(attachment);
End;
procedure send( Recp IN varchar2,
Subject IN varchar2,
Text IN varchar2,
Attch IN varchar2
)is
Begin
/* Add a new object message1 to the outbox */
session_outbox := ole2.get_obj_property(session,'outbox');
session_outbox_messages := ole2.get_obj_property(session_outbox,'messages');
message1 := ole2.invoke_obj(session_outbox_messages,'Add');
ole2.set_property(message1,'subject',Subject);
ole2.set_property(message1,'text',Text);
/* Add a recipient object to the message1.Recipients collection */
msg_recp := ole2.get_obj_property(message1,'Recipients');
recipient := ole2.invoke_obj(msg_recp,'add') ;
ole2.set_property(recipient,'name',Recp);
ole2.set_property(recipient,'type',1);
ole2.invoke(recipient,'resolve');
/* Add an attachment object to the message1.Attachments collection */
msg_attch := ole2.get_obj_property(message1,'Attachments');
attachment := ole2.invoke_obj(msg_attch,'add') ;
ole2.set_property(attachment,'name',Attch);
ole2.set_property(attachment,'position',0);
ole2.set_property(attachment,'type',1); /* 1 => MAPI File Data */
ole2.set_property(attachment,'source',Attch);
/* Read the attachment from the file */
args := ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,Attch);
ole2.invoke(attachment,'ReadFromFile',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
args := ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,1); /* 1 => save copy */
ole2.add_arg(args,0); /* 0 => no dialog */
/* Send the message without any dialog box, saving a copy in the Outbox */
ole2.invoke(message1,'Send',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
message('Message successfully sent');
END;
To call this procedure , I have following code ( when-button-pressed trigger)
mail_pkg.logon ('Outlook');
mail_pkg.send(<mail address>,
<subject>,
<body>,
<attach>);
mail_pkg.logoff;
Second:
I have to have enter and execute query in forms. Is it problem ??
thanks in advance

I moved to the cloud and now my iPhone 3g can't get my mobile me mail

I moved my mobile me account to the cloud but now the iPhone 3G cant get my mobile me mail. How do I either revert back to standard mobile me or is there a way to get my mobile me account working on the iphone 3G

To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
You should create new iCloud accounts for the rest of the family so that you can keep your personal data separate, but you must continue to use the account you are using for iTunes in use by all of you, otherwise you will lose access to any content already purchased under that account.

Where can I get plug-ins compatiblewith Mail 4.6?

Can't get rid of outgoing mail

This message actually was sent, so why it is still "loading" is
beyond me. I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, I've control clicked on
the message to delete it and I still can't get rid of it. Any thoughts would
be greatly appreciated.

This is not email. This is Apple Support Communities and you do not have authority to delete your post. For a limited amount of time you can edit it though.

Transferred data from old I-Pad to I-Pad two, can't get online or e-mail

Just transferred data from old I-Pad to I-Pad two, both Wi-fI 3 G. Can't get online with new I-Pad--but can with old one. Suggestions? Will not use 3G with old one, only with new one. Have mobile-me account.

Hi,
Can't get online with new I-Pad
Try syncing with just the default apps, not apps you have downloaded. Then restart the iPad and see if it makes a difference.

I have just d/loaded FF4 and now I can't get into my e mail account.

I am with Sky broadband and since d/loading Fire fox 4 I have not been able to get into my e mail. When I go to log in, it tells me that i have entered the wrong details. This is a real pain as I am in business and I need my e mail.

All email accounts have a password. If you do not know yours I suggest you contact your mail provider and ask them for assistance.

I'm not that familiar with troubleshooting form problems -
Alans' the expert

But I notice that yur registration page seems to be saved in
your Templates

inside that
folder apart from the DW Template (dwt) file.
