Closing mail massages from background in "mail"

hello,
qus for ipad2:
Is it possible to close an email message after opened and read?
what i mean is that i always have an open mail in the background.
there must be a way to see only the list in the inbox, with no old massage open at all times..
tnx,
shelly

I have never found a way to see the list of emails and not have an email open in the window on the right. If it's possible, I can't figure it out. The only way I can see to keep a blank window on the right is to click on an empty folder in one of your email accounts to see the "no message selected" window.

HT2500 How do I copy multiple e-mail addresses from an e-mail to a new e-mail?

How do I copy multiple e-mail addresses from an e-mail to a new e-mail in the Mail program on MacBook Pro. Received an e-mail with multiple recipients, and need to send a new e-mail to the list.

You could select Reply All from the icons above the email.
If Reply All is not shown, go to Mail / View / Customize Toolbar, and add that icon.

Mailing photos from iphoto through mail

When I mail photos from iphoto through mail, it sends the picture at very low resolution regardless of the setting I choose (small, medium, large, actual). How can I send photos to others at viewing or even printing quality? Can I resize the pictures to my specifications as I used to be able to do on my PC? Through ACDSee I could resize to 50% which would be small enough to send quickly but still high enough quality for the recipients to view and even print. Thanks!

After iPhoto has created a new Mail message have a look at the bottom right hand corner of the Mail Message window - there's another control there for sizing the pics... try play with that one to find the size you require.
You can access your photos for sending in Mail too. In the New Mail Message Window there's an icon on the toolbar that will show you your iPhoto library.

No problems with iPhoto 11,UNTIL I downloaded Lion. Now,I cannot e-mail from iPhoto. The "do not recognize user/password"message.I like to -mail directly from iPhoto,not Mail. Anyone having this problem? Thanks for the assistance

My iPhoto e-mail has been working great;UNTIL I upgraded to Lion. Now,I cannot e-mail directly from iPhoto. I prefer to e-mail photos from iPhoto,not Mail. I sure appreciate anyone's help. Thanks

1 - unless you tell us more then anything would be a wild guess - what happens? what error messages do you get?
and why would you use iPhoto rather than Mail anyway - mail has more templates, has a sent mail box, uses you address book lists and lets you control the message format so PC users can receive photos - and works for everyone

How do I return my mail going from the MAC mail back to my AOL

How can I return my mail from the MAC mail to my AOL

Are you viewing it in Artist view or Album view? In Album view, it should still list albums by artist name, then album name. If you're in Album view, you might be looking for Artist view.

Removing Mail accounts from Server Admin Mail:Maintenance:Accounts list

I have removed users from WGM and they are still showing up in Server Admin. I've seen posts that said to use SirAdmin or cyradm from the command line to remove them, but when I use those, the users aren't listed. Only in SA are these users still listed. Any ideas?
I've moved this mail server from a 10.3 machine to a 10.4 machine so this may be legacy issues. It seems that any users I've deleted since being on 10.4 have been removed from the list. It's just users who I had deleted while it was on 10.3 that are still showing up.

Yes I did. I added a user to the admin line of imapd.conf and logged in as that user. When I try logging in to SirAdmin as another user I get an error and it won't even open a connection.

Import mail boxes from Thunderbird crashes mail!

Is there a file size limit or is Mail for Mac just flakey?

Could you please explain the whole process of exporting mail from Snow to Lion. I have been trying for weeks on two diffrent computers and I can not get it to work.
I have moved the library, not sure to delete the envelopes. How do you export the mbox-files ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Mail suddenly started retrieving e-mails starting from 1st e-mail on Server

L.S.,
I'm using the mail.app version 4.2 with POP and have been downloading my mails without problems.
I do keep the mail on the server and was at about 8000 mails on the server.
Suddenly when trying to download, the mails started downloading from the first mail.
I've stopped the downloading and am having issues, as I'm using a web-interface to read the mails and responding in mail.
I deleted the extra mails that were downloaded and from the mailbox which were the last ones to be downloaded and are duplicates and then die a Rebuild.
This took care of removing the duplicate mails and also re-indexing my mailbox.
However when trying to download again it keeps on starting from the first e-mail.
Is there a way to get it start from where the latest not download e-mails start?
Thnxs for your help.
Alecio

I went back to the vendor of the mailserver software to check your suggestion.
Their answer was as follows:
+There is no POP information stored on the server in regards to what e-mails have been downloaded or not, this is handled by the e-mail client. The client stores this information and could have become corrupt.+
Possible reasons for this to happens according to the vendor's support were:
+Have you made any changes to your connection within Apple Mail ?+
I don't recall making changes to the connection with my Apple Mail.
While abroad I recall that using one of the hotels providers, I was unable to send mail but that has to do with SMTP and shouldn't have any impact on the POP.
I needed to use their mailserver to be able to send as I was getting relaying problems and maybe there is where something might have gone wrong.
+Has the IP address of the server you connect to changed at all ?+
The IP address of the mailserver never changed.
I asked for an indication on where this info could be for Mail.app where I received the following answer.
+I am not sure of the file in which this stores in AppleMail. In outlook it is stored in a database file called Pop3uidl.dbx - There may be something similar to that in your file structure.+
After this answer I went to investigate further what could be done.
I went into the directory ~/Library/Mail and found amongst others the file MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Googling this I got more confused as unfortunately when the early adopters upgraded to Snow Leopard, mail had a mishap and this was part of what was being reflected in the postings and also the suggestion to move from POP3 to IMAP to circumvent this issue.
I'm on Snow Leopard and waited until the patch was released that took care of the mail issue, to upgrade. So that is one issue less to take into consideration.
Going to IMAP is not an option either, as all of my POP mail is local and all the mail I have would not be together. Furthermore I did finally decide to integrate my gmail account into mail and this has caused my mailing to become unbearably slow (2nd issue).
Not having an option according to the write-ups, I decided to check what could be done with sqlite as MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 is a sqlite DB.
Didn't get anything when trying to load the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
As the last resort I have to delete MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 and I will get all the files back which are on the mailserver according to the write-ups.
This means that I have to get rid of the already existing files that will be downloaded.
So I decided to start doing that. Then I saw that for INBOX.mbox and Sent Messages.mbox apart from the Messages directory, an Attachments directory also exists and I saw that the messages that have attachments, these attachments are kept in a directory of the name equal to the name of the .elmx, that no other mailbox seems to have these attachment directories and that for Sent Messages.mbox the attachments are incidentally copied into its Attachment directory.
Fortunately I don't have to take care of that as only my INBOX counts for the messages I have to retrieve.
I suspect that there are inconsistencies in the application as I couldn't find a correlation on the reason for having only a small portion of the sent attachment in the Attachment Directory for Sent Messages.mbox and not all.
I have not started retrieving the mails from the mailserver yet.
Is there something else I need to take into consideration before taking the jump? As I see files like DefaultCounts etc.
Do I need to take care of other files?
Something else that bugs me is that even though I deleted all the .elmx files in the INBOX.mbox of which I have a copy on the mailserver, I still keep seeing the e-mails.
Scanning the system for the elmx's that may exist for those e-mails I don't find anything. Who can explain this to me?
*Resuming I have the following issues:*
*- Is what I have done by eliminating the already downloaded e-mails including attachments “if they exist” of which I have a copy on the Mailserver enough?*
*- What could have caused my mail to become slower when implementing IMAP (gmail account) in combination with POP3?*
*- Is the inconsistency with attachments legit?*
*- A small explanation of why I have the deleted e-mails still at my disposition, while they were physically deleted (.elmx) ?*
Thanks for your reaction

E-mail sends from wrong e-mail address

I'm having problems sending an e-mail from a specific e-mail account. I've bee using one account mainly, but I received an e-mail in another account. I hit reply, and typed in my response, hit send. However, the e-mail got sent by my main account (the one I also set to be my default account in the mail settings, however, I thought that was for times like sending a link from safari). So, I'm a bit confused, how do I choose which e-mail to send from, I thought you select the e-mail account and hit the button, but if I hit reply from one e-mail account, why did it send with the other?
Alex
Edit: If it matters, the the e-mail account that got the message I was responding was an att yahoo account, I heard people have had issues with push so I'm not sure if that's the problem, and my main e-mail is a gmail account. Though it did send, just from the wrong e-mail.
Message was edited by: axxl

Quick Update:
When I send an e-mail from a different e-mail account (my other gmail account), it sends it from its own server. However, it still doesn't work with the att.net account. My yahoo account just doesn't send anything from anywhere, no traces.

How to download the "Sent Mail" folder from Gmail to Mail 4.1?

Since updating to Snow Leopard I no longer have any mail in my Sent Mail folder
when using IMAP in Mail 4.1. In fact just a few (258) of all my sent messages (3732)
were properly downloaded.
I noticed that after configuring my Gmail to work with Mail/IMAP some new folders were
created. They are: [Gmail]/Sent Mail/Sent, [Imap]/Drafts, Sent messages, and Deleted Messages. Apart
from those, my Gmail account has always had standard folders such as Inbox, Sent Mail (the majority of my sent messages are in here), Drafts, Spam, and Trash. Apparently Mail is only downloading the messages from the new "Sent messages" folder and not the standard "Sent Mail", wherein all my sent messages actually are.
Another issue it that the spinning gear next to the Gmail Inbox in Mail 4.1 keeps spinning incessantly as if checking for new messages all the time even though it is set to check for new messages every 5 minutes and all messages has been downloaded. I have another IMAP account for my university's email which is working perfectly (neither problems with Sent Mail folder nor spinning gear). I will post the spinning gear problem in a separate question.
In my old MacBook I didn't have this problem when using Gmail with POP. This is the first time I'm using IMAP.
Is anybody having the same problems?
I appreciate your help in advance.

you can change Your Sent mailbox to "Sent Mail". select Sent Mail mailbox, go to mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->sent.

How does one create a GROUP mailing list from an e-mail message ? ?

I am having no end of frustration trying to figure out - using the latest versions of Apple Mail and Apple Address book in side-by-side windows, t he following:
How to select; then 'drag & drop' a list of email addresses from an incoming email message I am reading, so that I can create in my own address book a duplicate "Group" list bearing all the addresses that got the message.
I am sure I have been able in the past to use simple drag-n-drop technique between the mail window and the newly created "Group" window in Address Book, but it won't work this time .
Is there a script or a third party app somewhere that will lift addresses out of the "TO" and "c.c." fields in an Apple Mail message and import them into a designated (new) 'Group' list in Address Book.
Or is there a way to create a CSV file from an email message - if that will do the trick ?

Mailscript's Add Addresses script should open a window with all the addresses in the email listed. You can select the ones you want to import, you can choose the group or create a new one, and you can pick the label for the email address. It will stay open so that you can add different emails to different groups.
Your description doesn't sound anything like Mail Scripts.

Extracting e-mail addresses from all received mail

Hello,
We recently ran a competition on our web page and received approaching 5,000 submissions.
We need a way to collate a list of all the mail addresses of the people who replied.
The option in Window/Previous Recipients only applies to mail you have sent and not mail you have received.
Is there a way to export a list of received mail addresses?
Many thanks,
Ben

I wouldn't say there is no way...
Select all the messages;
Choose "Save As...";
Choose "Raw message source";
This saves a text file archiving all the selected messages. You can get the addresses from this file. One way is:
In Terminal, type
grep "^From " nameof_archived_messagesfile > ~/Desktop/listofsenders
(Ignore the colors in that text.) You can fill in the nameof_archived_messagesfile by dragging the file from the Finder and dropping it into the Terminal window. A text file named listofsenders should appear on your Desktop. It will contain a list of senders (along with some other junk). There are ways to refine this procedure, but I hope this will get you started.

Hi walkkenn, and a warm welcome to the forums!
And we never did hear back if it worked for Abstractman23 !
Is this a POP or IMAP account?
In the Webmail Interface is there a Trash folder or just a deleted messages folder?

How do I set up a mail archive from my Apple Mail app??

Hi All,
I am new to my Mac (Mavericks OS) and need to set up e-mail archiving. I understand there are some issues with Gmail but I am not using a Gmail account. My e-mail is on a UK2.net server.
Thanks in advance
Gary

Unfortunately there's no way to do it directly on the ipad using Contacts. If you sync contacts with a computer, create the group there and re-sync. Or, sync with iCloud and set up the group on iCloud.com.
