Can't manage the mail accounts in Mail App

The Windows 8.1 has a build-in mail app-Windows Live Mail. I set up my email accounts at the first time I run it without any issues. However, I can't find any way to manage these accounts. The interface doesn't look like the traditional mail app in Windows 7 which has a ribbon on the top. There is no ribbon, no function key for the account management. The windows 8.1 manual instructs to use the function key in the ribbon. How can I bring the ribbon show up or any way to manage the email accounts?
Thanks.

  • Can I open the Mail app without configuration an email address?

    I'm trying to open a .eml file, which seems possible in the Mail app.  However, I can't open the Mail app without configuration an email account.  I don't have an email account to configure; just want to open the file.  Or, let's suppose, I just wanted to browse the interface?  How to avoid the account setup part?

    Just enter anything short & plausible in as few fields as you can get away with : '[email protected]' works here, you'll get a brief 'not responding' or such at each stage, but it does allow you to use Mail.

  • Can't Connect the Mail app to my Gmail Account

    Hey everyone,
    Recently my gmai account stopped working with the Mail app on my 13" Macbook Pro Retina, running mountain lion. I have deleted the mail account and readded it, but it keeps saying the server isn't responding. This is becoming quite a problem as it is important that I reply to my emails as soon as possible, and without push notification on my mac it's proving difficult.
    Anyone got any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    J

    ...never mind...the problem somehow fixed itself...

  • I can't use the Mail app after updating to 8.0.2

    I can add my Gmail account to my phone just fine.  It adds my calendar, my contacts and my notes with no problem.  But when I open the Mail app, I get a blank screen.  It stays blank for about 15-20 seconds and then closes automatically.
    Also, there is no longer an option when setting up an email account to only sync a week or a month or whatever.  The calendar has an option to sync events in a certain time frame, but the option that was in mail is gone.  So it's trying to sync my entire gmail account.  Perhaps the size is the problem, IDK.
    I need to be able to check email.  What is the problem?

    I turned gmail off and turned on iCloud email.  It won't load either. 

  • Mail app on iPad2 crashed after trying to send doc from goodnotes. How can i restore the mail app?

    Hi,  I have a problem with my mail app: after exporting a rather big pdf (10mb) from GoodNotes to email (which tried to open an email in the built-in mail app, the mail app crased and only shows a white screenwhen opening it. Settings for the mail app does not respond either and every app that tries to open an email (e.g. Goodnotes, or browser opening  a mailTo link, freezes when trying to open a mail. As mail is a built in app, i can also not delete it ... Anybody has a hint for me? Many thanks for your help!!  Greets Sven

    First of all quit the mail app and all of the apps that have frozen. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Close the other apps the same way. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    What I would try next is to delete the email on the server in your web mail account using Safari or another browser. Then when you go back to the mail app - if it opens ok - and the if mesaage is still there in the inbox - swipe on the mesaage - left to right - in the list on the left side - and hopefully the red delete button will pop up. Hit delete to remove it from the inbox. Do the same thing when you go to your trash folder in that email account - swipe the message to delete it.

  • How can I disable the Mail app completely?

    Hi, I have an iMac running OS X v. 10.5.6 and do not want to go through the Mail app for my e-mail. I never opened the program on my own, but the app keeps opening on its own and asking for me to set it up. I tried to set it to manual opening, but it would still pop up on a daily basis.
    At one point, I logged in using an old Yahoo account, thinking that this would solve the problem, but it still opened up on its own daily.
    I've done everything in Preferences I can think of. I even tried removing the app completely, but I would get a pop-up asking where the Mail app went. When I brought it back, the same issues came up.
    I have Mail v. 3.5. Help!

    There are many good email applications available as alternatives to Apple's Mail.
    My own preference is Eudora but Thunderbird looks pretty good too.
    There is no obligation to use Apple's Mail.
    I don't get any warnings telling me I have to do anything with it. I can't understand what these warnings would be.
    Try opening the Mail application ---> preferences - and set the application to check for mail "manually" i.e. only when you tell it to. Which could be never.

  • Can't open the mail app

    hello
    The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when  I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    after some efforts I realized that it is possible to open mail application thru View category heading down to full screen exposure but still this is problematic and I am not able to open it directly by clicking on the mail icon. When mail app is opened in full screen size I only have red and green lights highlighted and yellow is disabled.

  • Can I reinstall the mail app ?

    I deleted my mail app a while back, thinking that I would not need it, but now I do.
    Is it possible to download and reinstall the mail app without reinstalling the entire os?
    Thanks for any help.

    Mail is included in Mac OS X, so the only method to install the application is by reinstalling Mac OS X.
    Hold Command and R keys while your MacBook Air is starting to start into Recovery, and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything but you should make a backup before reinstalling Mac OS X

  • How can I stop the mail app from downloading old messages and marking them as new.... repetedly

    I have just bought myself my first ever mac, and i've been having a little trouble with the mail function that comes with it. The first time i connected my mail app to my hotmail adress, all my old mails started coming in and they were all marked as unread. i had like 7000 og them, so it took a while for them all to load. after this i marked them all as read, and it was fine for a couple of days.
    I am not sure what makes all my e-mails load as "new" again and again, but it happens every so often. This is very annoying because i get a little notification at the top of my screen for every "new" e-mail.
    In the beginning i didn't think that much of it, but now it is really starting to annoy me, bacause it has happened so many times, so my question is:
    Have any of you experienced this? And how did you fix it?
    And i am running the OS X version 10.8.2, if that is relevant

    Is it an IMAP or POP account?
    For POP accounts, you can select remove from server under the advanced tab of the account.

  • I can't find the Mail app on my iPhone.

  • MSN account on the Mail App.

    I have a MSN/Hotmail email account and that is my main e-mail. When i tried to add in on my mail app it says secure connection failed and that my e-mail may not be valid (when it is). from there i click continue, and a window says that it can not get mail "user name or password for "pop3.live.com" is incorrect. i click OK. i click save under the POP setting and another window comes up that says this account may not be able to send or receive emails are you sure you want to save. I clicked no. and chose the IMAP. it thinks for a while then says IMAP account verification failed. The IMAP server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. check your network connection and that you are entered the correct information in the "incoming mail server" field. When my connection is fine and the correct info is entered.
    HOW CAN I GET MY MSN/HOTMAIL ACCOUNT GOING ON THE MAIL APP??!!

    The free version of Hotmail does not support POP or IMAP access, so you can't use the Mail app.
    If you have a paid version that does support POP (I'm not sure if such a plan even exists), then I would recommend contacting MS's support people for your plan.

  • HT5361 I am having trouble with closing the mail app so that I can shut off my laptop. the menu bar under file doesn't give me the option to quit.  that option is lister, but it is faded.  command Q will not close mail either.

    I am unable to shut off my laptop because I can not close the mail app.  Command Q doesn't work. While "quit mail" shows up under FILE on the menu bar, it is faded and not a working option.  Mail appears to be frozen.  I also can not pull up the mail page despite the app being open. Clicking on the mail icon does nothing and there are no available options under the menu bar.  Help, please!  Thanks!

    Try force-quitting (command-option-esc).

  • How do you get notified of Gmail archived labels that skip the inbox with the mail app on iOS devices?

    If you are fimiliar with Gmail you know that you are able to set up labels/filters. Well i have my filters set up so when a certain person/company emails me the email gets archived into a certain folder and skips the inbox. This works great for me. This orgnazation method to keep an amazing clean/empty inbox works great. It's just like having a Filing cabinant and inside the filing cabinant you have a folder(label) for each file(email). Below is a sample Gmail that has Archived Labels that have content in each Archived Label that as you can see.. skip the inbox completely regeardless if the message was read or not.
    If the Archived Label has a new message in it it will have (1) next to it.
    Ex.
    Client One Folder (23)
    Client Two Folder
    Client Three (2)
    Client Four (5)
    Understand how that works? It works great for orginaziaonl reasons..
    Here is a photo of what it really looks like. (Info Blurred for security reasons)
    On the Gmail end of things this works great if you ask me...only flaw to this is my iOS device won't notify me that i have a new email in my ClientArchived Folder due to the fact that the Mail app preinstalled on the device only checks the inbox for new mail and does NOT check for new mail sent to Archived folders where majority of my mail is set up for orginazional reasons.
    I am aware that if i am using my iOS device that i can go to the Mail App and scroll down to account > Gmail > Scroll down and my archived folders for each client are their & shows how many emails are from each client..
    but why doesn't it notifty me about this emails that get sent to these organized archived folders in notifcation center?
    See the Mail App icon below? Well above it says i have 16 unread emails throughout my Gmail folders/labels.. Why doesn't it give me a red bubble via NC(noticication Center) on the app saying i have 16 unread messages?
    My problem isn't that i can't get the emails on the phone.. it's just if i am not expecting an email and someone emails me.. i won't get it until i go and pysically check in the mail account > gmail > archived folder. It's very frustrating seeing as if i like to be quick to respond to emails. Well it's hard to be quick to respond if my phone doesn't notify me about the emails.
    Why won't the App notify me when i have emails in folders other than "Inbox"?
    Called Apple and talked to a Technician.. He was clueless of a solution.
    Does anyone have a fix for this or a work around?
    Any help/input is apperciated!
    -Thanks

    my problem exactly. Did you ever figure it out? I had to resort to turning off labels in the web interface for Gmail. Not ideal

  • Make the Mail app go away

    I am at my wits end..
    How can I get the mail app to stop prompting me to set it up when I log in.
    I have no interest in using the Mail app, and if I could I would delete it (alas it is a required application and I cannot do that).
    I use google mail and outlook as a client, and I would really just like the Mail app to leave me alone.
    I have changed all the file associations, and I have checked that mail is not one of the "start on login" apps under my profile.
    Why won't it leave me alone?

    u cant delete that mail but can delete the email you use in that..n if it comes when you log in you can stop it in System Prefrences..
    To Stop :-
    system prefrences> User and Groups> click on Login Items in top right> click mail then click "-" sign down below n your work is done!!
    To Delete user Acc. From Mail:-
    Open Finder
    Click Go on the top..
    Click alt/option key on keyboard
    another option library will be shown there
    click on that and a folder will pop up
    Search mail in that folder n move it to trash..
    IT WONT DELETE THE MAIL APP..BUT WILL DELETE THE ACCOUNT IN MAIL..You CAN AGAIN SING IN TO THAT MAIL IN FUTURE BY OPENING THE APP...
