Closing Apple mail link

My wife has pretty much exclusive use of our iMac using 10.7.5. I originally set it up even though we both have iCloud accounts. She does not use Apple Mail (Gmail instead) so whenever she clicks on a web link to send mail, the Apple Mail program comes up. Is there any way to make Gmail the default mail program when website links provide an opportunity to send mail and shut down the Apple Mail?

There are no publicly-available e-mail addresses for either the Apple Store nor Apple Customer Service. You'll have to call them.

When opening Apple Mail links 2 Firefox Windows Open, The top one is blank and the one behind it contains the web link page???

Whether with previous version of Firefox, or new one (3.6.4), when I open an Apple Mail link, Firefox opens 2 windows. Top window is blank, window behind it contains web page for mail link that I hit. I can't find anything in preferences of mail or Firefox to resolve this issue.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have discovered one solutionto my problem, which is not really convenient and is something I don't have to do with Safari 5 -- If I have Firefox open, but not a window open, then when I click on an Apple Mail link, only 1 window opens. But I don't always want to have my browser open, so this is kinda annoying. I'd rather not use Safari -- Firefox is so much better. Please fix this! Thanks.

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

Apple Mail links will not open in Firefox. The address bar and page are blank.

I have just upgraded Firefox to version 4.0 and when I receive an email with a link in it, the link will not work. Firefox will load but the page is blank and the web address bar will sometimes show the link and sometimes not. If I cut and paste the address from the email it will not work.

In mail.app preferences there is a setting for RSS that lets one choose which program is the default RSS reader. Whichever program is set to be the default RSS reader is used by mail.app to open any urls in mail messages.
I really like my Mac but this is the most un-userfriendly, un-"it just works" thing I've run across in the 23 years I've been using Macintosh...

Help with Apple Mail

Okay, I have my Apple Mail linked to my Yahoo account, and it's been that way since April with no problems until recently.
I moved into my college dorm on Saturday, and last night I realized that I've only been getting emails on my iPhone from Yahoo. What's more is that I can not send emails from my Apple Mail. And when I sent it from the Yahoo website, it took about ten minutes for it to get to my phone, and then it finally showed up on the Yahoo website after being read on my phone.
If anyone can help me with this, I'd be extremely greatful because I appreciate the convenience of the Apple Mail. If it's any help, my Yahoo account won't even access Outlook either.
I tried deactivating it on my iPhone, but it still wasn't popping up on the Apple Mail.
Here's what the side bar looks like (pictured below), and when I click the "!," it says
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Yahoo” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out.
And if I take all accounts online, I get this
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Yahoo” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out.
So if anyone can help me fix this, it'd be a huge relief and I really appreciate it. =)

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Apple Mail not refreshing 'read' message statuses (GMAIL IMAP)

I have the following reproducible bug, when using three different IMAP interfaces to my GMail account: Apple Mail, iPhone Mail, GMail Web
1. Viewing a mail in Apple Mail, causes it to be marked as read in iPhone Mail and GMail Web
2. Viewing a mail in GMail Web, causes it to be marked as read in iPhone Mail, but NOT Apple Mail
3. Viewing a mail in iPhone Mail, causes it to be marked as read in GMail Web, but NOT Apple Mail
In summary, viewing GMail IMAP messages outside of Apple Mail, does not change the message status in Apple Mail.
It seems like the 'read' flag is correctly being set by all apps (or rather by the IMAP protocol on GMail's side) as the process is fine between iPhone Mail and GMail web.
I think that Apple Mail is not refreshing the 'read' flags. This is further proved by closing Apple Mail and relaunching, which causes all 'read' flags to be refreshed and show the correct statuses.
Russell.

Apple Mail and Verisign x.509

I've had problems with x.509 encrypted email that I send to recipients whose x.509 certs were issued by Verisign (the certs show "Issued by: Verisign Class 1 CA Individual Subscriber-Persona Not Validated"). These certs in my keychain have a red x, and show "This certificate was signed by an untrusted issuer".
When I send email to someone whose unexpired Verisign x.509 cert is in my keychain, and attempt to encrypt the mail, I'm unable to do so. The "lock" remains grayed out. If I reply directly to an email signed and encrypted by the recipient, the yellow warning header background shows up in Apple mail, saying that Mail is unable to verify the message signature. When I "Show Details" and then select "OK", I can reply and can encrypt the reply, but when I go to open a new email to send to the recipient, I can encrypt it only if I have not closed Apple mail down in the interim. Once I restart mail, the "Trust the signature in future messages" state is forgotten.
I've tested modifying the trust settings for these recipients.
I've been to Verisign's website, and downloaded and imported all of their root certificates. Before I did this, I noted that in my keychain, there are 3 Class 1 CA Individual Subscriber-Persona Not Validated Intermediate Certificates. They all expire on the same date - May 8 2008. The descriptions within all 3 are the same. However all 3 of them have different MD5 hashes and fingerprints. I've confirmed that these certificates exist on other Macs in our group. And all have these same differences, so its nothing that I did.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this? I've searched the forums but have found nothing.

It's a known issue... Unfortunately appart from using another mail client you won't be able to fix it before Apple actually provides an update.

In Apple Mail, how can I maintaining Mailbox links when migrating hosting?

First, I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered. If so, please kindly point me to the appropriate discussion.
I'm in the process of changing hosting for one of my (several) websites and email addresses. I have been using Apple Mail succesfully with the site email using IMAP for several years, and have many thousands of messages, many of which that have been moved into different folders in Mac Mail locally (not the IMAP folders). What I'd like to know is if it's possible to maintain all of these links during and after I migrate my website and all server mail to a new hosting company. I'm very paranoid that all of my links (to mail in those boxes, and relationships to sent mail) will be lost, and that all that mail will simply redownload to the primary Inbox.
On a separate note, I'd also like to know if, once the above issue has been addressed and resolved, it's possible to copy my entire Mail application to another computer so that I can keep a mirror copy of two mail applications fucntioning like an exchange server. Meaning, if I download one piece of mail on one computer, it will automatically be downloaded and marked as read on the other *and* if that mail is moved to a local Mail folder, if it will be moved on the other computer in the other Mail application. Basically so that all mail and mail relationships stay in sync across multiple machines.
Hope this question makes sense. I'm happy to elaborate, and am appreciative of any help.

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched. The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server. If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company. This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders? Are there any major advantages to using them?

How do I add a desktop link to gmail? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link to two other email accounts.

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

How to maintain PDF links when viewed in Apple Mail

Hi All
I've created a single page promo flyer in InDesign which has an email and a web link at the foot of the page. The flyer is to be distributed to clients as a PDF attachment via Apple Mail. The PDF has been created from the InDesign doc and the links display and behave as they are intended to. When I attach the PDF to a mail it displays just fine. I want recipients to be able to click on and follow the links directly from the Mail view in a single action without having to download the PDF and then click on the links. However when you try to click the links the whole PDF highlights blue and no link is activated. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this?
I'm using Apple Mail v7.3 on an iMac running OSX v10.9.5.
Thanks in anticipation!

If you are asking about addresses that are not in your Address Book, they are listed in Windows > Previous Recipients.

HT2500 links no longer work in apple mail.

links no longer work in apple mail, even though they do work on other mail services?

This is typically an issue of setting the web preference in the WINDOWS preferred programs. In Win7 this is accessed from Control Panel>Default Programs>Set Program Access...>Custom. Maybe these options will give you an idea of the problem.

Linked image in Apple Mail highlighting instead of linking

I'm trying to send an email from Apple Mail with an image that links to a web page.
I made the email by uploading a small html page with the image+ link, then using Safari's Share>Email This Page. I've also tried attaching the image and using File>Add link.
When testing the mail on my working machines (iMac and macBook Pro, OSX 10.10.1, mail verson 8.1) the image highlights with a blue background instead of linking through. If I double-click it opens the image in Preview. Hovering over the image will show the URL in a tooltip, but clicking it only highlights.
The image link works fine on my iPhone, iPad, and older Macbook 4,1 (OSX 10.6.8, mail 4.6), and it works fine on a friend's macbook (OSX 10.9.5, mail 7.3), but not for another friend with the same OS/Mail versions as mine.
Haven't seen any mention of this problem anywhere else and would love to get some guesses as to what might be going on.
many thanks!

I just upgraded to Yosemite and thought I would try Mail again. My first big objection is I want absolute dates instead of relative dates (today, yesterday etc.).
Does anyone know how to change this in Mail?

Links in Apple Mail not opening in Firefox 15

Links in messages in Apple Mail have recently stopped opening Firefox tabs and windows. The Mail window fades, as if a new window or application were being accessed, but nothing happens. I have reset my default browser (according to Mozilla instructions) in both Firefox and Safari. I have also checked all add-ons to see if they might be causing the problem and nothing changes when all are disabled. If I set Safari as default browser, it works fine.
Any thoughts? (FYI, while not totally incompetent or technically illiterate, I am also not all that schooled in the details of computer know-how and haven't gotten much beyond the options available on the toolbar and the limited information found through a quick Google search. It seems others have had this issue in the past, but I haven't found a fix that works for me yet.)
Thanks.

Hi!
Is Mail the only external app that has that problem?
I remember having a similar issue and that was caused by an add-on who was messing up with the Firefox behavior.
If this is the case, you should see the same behavior when opening links from other apps.
To resolved, you have 2 options. Either use Firefox Reset ([[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] ) or try to use Safe Mode ([[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] ).
Firefox Reset will reset the majority of your Firefox settings (including the add-ons) while keeping the most important information safe (Bookmarks, etc). In the other hand Safe Mode will allow you to test Firefox with a clean profile and then it will allow you to disable all the Add-ons. If that solves the issue, you should activate the add-ons one by one until you find the one it's causing the problem.
I hope this helps you.

When I click a link in email client (apple mail), it does not open in firefox. I have checked both Firefox and Safari and Firefox is the default browser.

When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.

Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.
See:
* [[How to make Firefox the default browser]]
* [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
