Can't highlight text in mail message.

After installing ML, I can't click and drag over text to highlight the text for copy funtion.  When I try to do that, I get a little mail envelope icon which would allow me to drag the whole message to a folder.
Workaround is to double click the message in the message list to open it in a new windows.
Using Apple mail version 6.0 in "Classic View" mode.

I'll say its annoying.. Par for the course.
Why do the developers of this program constantly and consistenly choose to make changes to things that need NO changes?
Between this and the attachment bug its getting almost impossible to use Apple Mail let alone be productive. 
Thanks for yet another tremendous step BACKWARDS again!

  • I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone 5

    I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone. The edit icon at the top of the inbox is there and when pressed I can select messages but can't go further - the icon to delete has disappeared and the message that was selected deselects itself.
    I already tried to restore my iPhone, this didn't help.

    I have iPhone 4S and have had the same problem since I upgraded to iOS 7. I could only send and receive from iPhones.
    I tried everything that was suggested. Nothing worked.
    I called AT&T this morning. Turns out, iOS 7 cancelled my text messaging plan!!!! I was able text to other iPhone users because of iMessage. They turned my texting plan back on and I can now text everyone again!!

  • I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account. I can still send e-mail messages, though. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my account. I have changed my password, but wonder how to start receiving mail again?

    I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
    (And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
    Thanks for all responses.

    The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
    Thx.

  • How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

    How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

    You have to remember that Digital Editions was never designed to have 'text
    editor' capabilities.  BTW: Bluefire and Overdrive also have such
    limitations.  Put in another frame of reference, DE presents you with the
    ebook, as you would be presented with a physical printed book.

    How can I highlight text in a document scanned in a pdf format?

    If it wasn't OCRed in Acrobat then you can only use the non-text commenting tools, like the Square or Polygon. Press Ctrl+E to open the Properties bad and you could make it look like a text highlight annotation.

    How can I highlight text in iPages with a virtual fluorescent marker?

    The text highlight option is the little box on the toolbar with the "a" and a diagonal line through it (That is the default transparent highlight option).

  • How can I highlight text

    How can I highlight text in PDFs on adobe.ccom?

    Hi hervorheben,
    If the file is saved on Acobat.com, you need to download it and open it in Reader (or Acrobat) to use the commenting tools (including the Highlight tool). To download a file, log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, select the file that you want to work on, and click the Download link at the top of the page.

  • Why I can't send any e-mail messages with 6230i?

    Hi mates,
    I have a Nokia 6230i with a Vodafone Italian sim card in it.
    I know for sure that I CAN retrieve messages form my incoming POP3 e-mail server but I can't send any e-mail messages with it.
    Any time I try to do that it prompts me an information balloon saying: message failed. Why??
    I mean, I properly set up my phone with all Vodafone details but it still does not seem to work.
    Any help will be appreciate
    Stefano.
    P.S.
    I can even send and receive MMS and of course SMS too
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    thanks mate for your reply
    When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
    Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
    Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it
    Bye,
    Stefano.

  • I can't move my incoming mail messages into my mailboxes ever since i upgraded to Yosemite. It keeps defaulting to the old arrangement. My email account runs on IMAP.

    I can't move my incoming mail messages on my desktop into my mailboxes ever since i upgraded to Yosemite. It keeps defaulting to the old arrangement. My email account runs on IMAP.

    Hello using the settings from my email provider (Virgin Media), I set up my email account on my Mac. The problem arises trying to move the emails from the Inbox to the various mailboxes I set up. All this is occurring within Apple's Mail  app, not the Desktop.
    Could it be anything to do with the IMAP-enabled synching between my email account on my computer and on Virgin Media's servers where my actions on my computer are not being communicated to the server? I am not an expert and only guessing here! Thanks for pitching in.

  • Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages

    Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages. With previous versions everything worked fine. The only way to read the full text is to answer the mail. Thank you for your help. Regards.

    Close out of the mail app.  Double tap the home button, find the mail app hold down until you see the red minus sign and hit that.   then go back into the mail app and open an email you should now be able to read the full content of the email.

    I am quite new and haven't understand yet all about iCloud but if someone get access of my ID and password can he/she access my mails , messages, everything?

    Yes, so keep it to yourself.
    If someone already has it, change the password at once.

  • How does one highlight Text in Imail messages

    I understand how one uses the "Fonts" of "Colors" Icon on the message dialog box to change the font color of selected text in a message so it stands out, but have NOT FIGURED OUT how one can instead (or in addition) "highlight" the text. By that I mean coloring the background of the selected text (as opposed to changing the background color of the whole document, or changing the color of the letters themselves). Is there a way to do that in imail, and if so, how?

    Is there a way to do that in imail, and if so, how?
    Not in Leopard Mail, as far as I can tell. In Tiger you could color just a selected portion of a text background, but this feature seems to have disappeared for some reason in 10.5. You can ask Apple to put it back via the feedback link:
