Current email composition blocks access to mail program

When i am composing a new email - the mail program is in the back ground - but not accessible. Often i need to refer to a mail folder to compose my current email. I would like to be able to toggle between current email and the mail program.

Yea, so do it....what's the problem. If you click on the background window, it comes to the foreground.

Specific domain blocked for both mail programs

Hi all. Need some help... One specific domain name's email addresses has been blocked by my mac for outgoing email from both 'mail' and entourage programs. I don't get any error messages but the emails never get delivered. However emails from the domain name get delivered to me just fine.
It is isolated to my mac as I can send/receive using a different computer on the same internet connection to the domain name addresses.
I think it results from a moment last week when I accidentally clicked on 'junk' instead of delete for an email from the domain name thats causing the trouble. I immediately clicked 'this is not junk', and thought nothing more of it. it appears that somehow the computer will now not deliver email to the domain name address in question. Its like a very specific block, but effects both mail programs. Apple Support suggested posting to this disscussion board or an 'archive and install'. Hope someone can help. thanks.

Open one of these messages in the Sent mailbox, and then click on View in the Menubar of the Mail window, place the cursor on Message, and choose Long Headers from the resulting menu. In the Long Headers, is there on named Message ID#? If so, then the message was sent from this Mac, as the ID# must be reported back from the SMTP.
Are you using Rich Text Format, when composing and sending on this Mac? Do these messages have any attachments, or images such as might be in a Signature? If this is the situation, then the RTF may be getting converted to HTML, and a SPAM filter in front of the recipient may be blocking the receipt of messages from this Mac.
Try resending one of these message, after first changing to Plain Text, as a test. Open the message in the Sent mailbox, click on Message in the Menubar, and choose Send Again. Next click on Format in the Menubar, and choose Make Plain Text, and send.
Keep us posted.

Email will not download to Mail program from webmail

I am unable to download my email from the webmail server. Ever since our ISP changed from one webmail domain name to another, I have not been able to receive mail to my computer——I have to check it on the webmail. I am able to send mail without a problem from the Mail program. I have compared my incoming settings with others in the office and everything checks out. No one else has a problem.
Any thoughts?

Verizon Blocking Access to Mail Servers outside the United States

I spent almost two hours with Verizon representatives yesterday after having spent 10 days in Canada without ever being able to access the pop.verizon.net email server. Although the information does not seem to be well known throughout Verizon, several officials confirmed that as of September 14, Verizon has made the decision to block all IP addresses outside the United States trying to communicate with Verizon's email servers.
Parenthetically, Verizon Wireless was also unaware of this change in policy but was most interested to learn about it given the impact it would have. It would also help explain why there were many customers who suddenly found their smartphones to be significantly less useful when traveling internationally.
I asked repeatedly whether the Verizon community had been made aware of this change in policy and several individuals within Verizon confirmed that no such corporate communication was ever made, despite the fact that this change has a dramatic impact on those who travel outside the United States. They conceded that this should have been done, but of course no one seems to know where the decision within the corporation was made about this policy and who might be "empowered" to actually consider the impact on the Verizon user community and communicate with it in a transparent manner.
I find this behavior on Verizon's part to be appalling. Even if security concerns drove this decision, I can't but help feel that it is Verizon's arrogance that led them to believe that this change in policy should not be communicated to the Verizon community.
I have made my view known to some individuals--would suggest that others do so as well--although I am skeptical that anyone within the Verizon heirarchy cares. Hopefully I'm wrong.

The response highlights the problems of dealing with Verizon. It's totally non-responsive to the issue.
In point of fact, I am not locked out of my individual account, nor do I have any difficulty in downloading emails from the pop.verizon.net email server when I am accessing it from a US-based IP address. The problem is that IP addresses outside the US are being rejected. Thus while traveling internationally and trying to access my account from a hotel, coffee shop, etc. the server is now programmed by Verizon not to respond.
Thank you.

We have asked them to clarify the message and they finally have, but not necessarily what you want to hear.
"Additionally, we have implemented measures to prevent future unauthorized access attempts which may affect your ability to access your Verizon.net email from locations outside the U.S. If you experience difficulty reaching your Verizon.net email account, you can always access it online at mail.verizon.com or through the Verizon My FiOS app for mobile devices. For further information see the Verizon Webmail FAQs. "
I think they are also still accepting whitelist requests for Foreign ISP's.

I have a draft email that keeps crashing the Mail program. How do I delete the draft before the program locks up?

I have a draft email that has an attachment that keeps crashing Mail. How do I delete the draft before it locks up the program with the spinning color wheel?

Assuming you're using some IMAP mail service, disconnect from the internet first and quit Mail
Next, click on Finder, choose 'Go' in the menubar and hold down the 'option' key. Choose 'Library' from the menu.
Navigate to
Mail/V2/Mailboxes
In there you'll see some folders called things like IMAP-{yourEmailAddress.com} for each email address you have. In each one there is a Drafts folder. Locate the correct one and delete the file.
Do NOT restart Mail, but open your internet connection, go to your web-based email through your browser and delete the draft from there too.
Now you can restart Mail. Choose 'Rebuild' from the Mailbox menu in the menubar.

Can't access mail program'

I can't access my mail program on mac book air.
OSX 10.9.5
i deleted 1300 emails at one time. Since then each time I try to enter the mail program, I get kicked out.
I restarted the computer ,after several attempts to access the email program, but still have the problem.
I know my start up disk is almost full.
What can I do now?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

TS3276 What's the maximum size of an email to be sent by Apple's Mail program?

What is the maximum size of an email sent in the Apple Mail program? Is 2.9 MB too large?

susanzimm wrote:
Is 2.9 MB too large?
No, in terms of Mail.app. As WZZZ said, this limit is set by your ISP.
Yes, in terms of netiquette. Google it. Any file > 1MB is, IMHO, too big for e-mail. Nowadays, this rule may be more relaxed, because more people have broadband. You should check with your intended recipient.

Is there a way to block access to programs?

I want to block access to a program called Acquisition, as it's nothing more than a database for ***********. However, I can't seem to find any kind of program that will allow me to block and password protect access to the program.
Does anyone know of any type of program that will allow me to do this or if there is any other way to block it?
Thanks!

Remove it? Use Disk Utility to put it on an encrypted disk image would be one way. Create a new user account and use Fast User Switching and have it only accessible by the new user. And use an encrypted FileVault.

Why am I getting an error message,"windows can not find(my Yahoo mail launch address)"when accessing Yahoo mail site?

Mail program on iMac

Hi, how can I find out why one of my email accounts on my iMac mail program has one of those triangles with the exclamation mark in the middle of it? I looked the the preferences, restarted computer... it says there is a problem with the network or server.... The other accounts are receiving messages fine. I appreciate any suggestions. I unplugged the router and modem for starters too. Thank you for any help.
Julie

If some email accounts are working but one is not, forget about turning the computer on & off or restarting the router. You've not configured that email account properly. Check your spelling - I know, but working in tech it is amazing how many times people assume they entered their account information properly but didn't. Try re-entering your password and make sure caps lock is off - another common mistake. If those two aren't the solution find out exactly how it should be configured. Some mail servers want the full email address [email protected] while others just want the name bob. Also see if that email server uses alternate ports and what kind of authorization is required. Finally, I've found that sometimes everything looks good but the darn server still won't connect - delete that account from the email program and start over.

Mail from Apple wipes out mail program? Possible Virus?

Howdy
This morning, while my wife was reading her email, she received, via the mail program in her Macbook Pro, an popup from Apple, telling her about upgrades in the Apple Mail Program. She clicked on the popup, read the info, decided there was nothing new, clicked out, and all of her email was gone.
I have been looking around her computer-her account info has been deleted, and another account, with her name but a @me tag substituted.
Also, I checked the mail folder in her library, and they are blank.
Any thoughts, help, will be appreciated.
Thanks
rlmslo

Mail under Lion is 5.1
I do not know of any upgrade since Lion.
Please gieve us some more info about the message and your (yours wife sytem).
You can try to look into the basket to see if the content of the Mail folder is there.
Can you enter her Mail server (iCloud or MM or amithing different from Apple) and see if messages are There ?
Probably you find some.
What do you mean by "tag" in @me substituted (surry for my english).

Mail Program - popup message won't let me access my emails

I sure hope someone can help me with this problem!
I received an email to my gmail account, and when I tried to open in up with my Mail program - I got this message box
" To view this page, you must log in to area “WebMail” on secure97.inmotionhosting.com:2096."
It won't let me view any other email. I can't do ANYTHING with my mail program.

Well, somehow, when I tried to re-open my mail, I clicked the other folders in the left-pane (ie. junk, sent, etc) and the message popup went away.
So I guess this isn't an issue anymore.

Mail: new message window blocks the Mail program

Hello,
When you write a new mail, the new nice interface makes the window of the new mail appear as it did on the iPad. However, this does not allow you to use the Mail program for other uses: for instance, I used to open the new mail window, and continuously switch to other received emails to re-read while typing the new one or similar.
This is not permitted anymore and the only way I found is to open a new entire mail window, which is not exactly the best solution...
Does anyone know how to make the popup window of the new email "non-blocking"?
I think this is a nice-looking feature but VERY counterproductive.
Thanks a lot,
Marco

Hi Marco,
You can send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback
As far as I am aware there is currently no way to change the new message overlay in full screen mail.
