Cannot delete e-Mail message in lion without opening the message

To avoid span or just not bother opening an e-mal "BEFORE LION" all that had to be done was to hightlight the email and hit the delete button.
Now with LION when you hightlight the email message it immedately opens the message in the right side box.
There must be a way of avoiding that, I checked Preferences, mailbox and edit but could not see anything that would delete without opening the email message.
I hope they did not do away with this feature, it would be insane,
Greg

Thanks, that works, lets hope they do not do away with it.
While I hope you are right about it not opening in the preview in the new format until we get assurances from Apple I will leave it in the classic format.
Thanks again.
Also my wife hated the new format.
Did you notice the changed the Adress book format ?

How can I empty the Junk mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

How to view source of email message without opening the message?

In addition to Verizon Email, I use Windows Live Mail. With Windows Live Mail I can view the source of a message without opening the message. This way I can find out if the message is legitimate or spam before potentially getting hit with malware from a bogus message by opening it. I can then set up a blocking rule so a bogus message from either the sender or the domain never appears in my Inbox. I have not found a way to do this in Verizon EMail.
Is there a way to view the source of a message without opening the message in Verizon EMail? Right clicking just opens the message which I do not want to do.

computerbug,
You can get a preview of your email. Log into the Verizon account and go to email > in the top you will see
Conversations
Contacts
Calendars
Settings
Click on settings < General settings > Display and you will see 2 options for email view.
(Preview is not available, if the resolution is less than 1024 by 768 pixels)
Thanks,

I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone. How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them. You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up und one account.

I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone. How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them. You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up under one account.

You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

What do you do when you icloud is hacked and you cannot delete if from yoru ios device without knowing the password?

Does anyone know of a good way to just cancel the offending account?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.

Cannot delete e-mail message

Problem, there are 4 messages that cannot be deleted. When the messages are selected and the delete button clicked. The messages disappear from the inbox. When you click on the trash it is empty and returning to the inbox the messages are still there.
I tried manually deleting the messages from the User -> Library -> Mail -> Inbox. But on restarting mail the messages are still there.
Other messages can be deleted. But, if any of the 4 that can't be delete are hightlighted now other messages cannot be deleted.
The computer that is having these issues is a MacBook Pro, running 10.5.2 and Mail version 3.1.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Deleting the messages manually from the User -> Library -> Mail -> Inbox and then restarting Mail and in Mail Rebuilding the Inbox solved the problem.

Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad

Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad. Looks corrupted.

You could try deleting it by logging into your account on a browser. Otherwise try turning the account off and on and see if you can then delete it : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely and try again when you re-open Mail : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

TS4002 I received an e mail from someone which included an e mail address. when i clicked on the message, the e mail ddress ent to me attached (copied) itself to my own iPad e mail and i cannot delete it or separate them.

This is not a virus - it simply means that someone has stolen/hacked into one of your friends' addressbooks and stolen all the email addresses. This is standard practice - unfortunately. They then use a legitimate address like yours to fake their outgoing spam emails and send it to thousands of people. My Yahoo account has been hacked into several times; in fact, I am getting spam emails FROM me TO me....
Not much you can do - change your password, but it really is too late since the door is already open so to speak. If it gets too annoying, you'd need to close the account and open another with an impossible to guess user name and password. Or just put up with it.
I only use my ISP's email address for my close friends to try to avoid such things; I maintain a couple of Yahoo and other web based accounts for anyone else. They are easy to replace if necessary.

How do I delete a suspicious e-mail on my iPad without opening it first?

Who is your mail service provider?
You could delete it going through Safari and logging into your mail via whoever your service is through (Comcast, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) or if it's via iCloud, log into that service and delete it there.

Close the mail app. Then double tap on the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Swipe upwards on the mail app. Reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the phone reboots, try opening mail and see if this returns.

I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous one from my account???

You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

Could this be a virus?

Hold down the Power button until the computer shuts down.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

How to send mail from adobe interactive form without opening the outlook

Hello all,
When the end user press the submit button i want it to send the XML data without opening the outlook or other mail application.
Is there a way to do this?
I tried javascript codes to send mail with UI = false but it did not work.
Thank you all in advance,
Eran

mailForm
Parameters: bUI, cTo, [cCc], [cBcc], [cSubject], [cMsgBody]
Returns: nothing
This method exports the form data and mails the resulting FDF file as an attachment to all recipients,
with or without user interaction depending on the value of bUI.
If it is set to true then the rest of the parameters are used to seed the compose new message window that is displayed to the user.
If bUI is set to false, the cTo parameter is required and all others are optional.
You must use a semicolon u201C;u201D to separate multiple recipients in cTo, cCc, cBcc parameters.
The length limit for cSubject and cMsgBody is 64k bytes.
Example:
/* This will pop up the compose new message window */
this.mailForm(true);
/* This will send out the mail with the attached FDF file to fun1 @ fun . com and fun2 @ fun . com */
this.mailForm(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail.");
Note:
This is a Windows-only feature. In addition, the client machine must have its
default mail program configured to be MAPI enabled in order to use this method.
I had to change the code:
instead of this.mailDoc :
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.mailDoc(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail." );
But the outlook new message window still opens...
Any Idea's?
Eran
