Cursor movement in the mail view pane

Hi all,
Is there a way to configure/change the default movement (upward) of the cursor in the mail view pane?
when deleting an item (email) it moves to the upper one and this is particularly annoying
Thanks,
Davide

If apple is listening, this is a foolish default setting... at least there should be an option... APPLE? Hope you got it right for Leopard.

TS4083 My mailboxes do not appear in alphabetical order in the mailbox view pane in Mac Mail??

My mailbox list in the mailbox view pane does not appear in alphabetical order. (Mac Mail iCloud account). This is on my iMac running Lion 10.7.4. Interesting though, the mailboxes are alphabetically sorted in my laptop and iPhone which are both also synced to my apple account. I'm baffled???

Hi Graham,
Getting the alphabetical sort of your songs is easy. If you upgraded to the new iTunes all you would do is view your music and go to the List view. That option is on the right hand side underneath the search bar. Once you have change to that view, just click on the Name view to organize by name.

A small but very irritating bug in Mail: after pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word such as "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.

When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
Any ideas?

I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
Other combinations FAIL
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
Thanks.

How do I change the mail reading pane from horizontal to vertical ?

How do I change the mail reading pane from horizontal to vertical ? Help !!

Mail > Preferences > Viewing
Select or deselect: Use classic layout

Mail Viewing pane requires much horizontal scrolling

I just upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion. Only a few problems but, they are major!
For instance, why is my read/sent mail viewing pane so wide? I have to scroll maybe 4 x the width of my entire screen to get to the end of every sentence.
Using Classic Layout because I can't get the New Layout to work efficiently for my purposes.
Is there some way I can change this?
Thanks!

Well, you asked the wrong question. The Viewing pane isn't too wide, the text is not wrapping as it should.
That happens with the occasional malformed email, but shouldn't happen with all.
You might search here for Mail Word Wrap. This was the closest I found: How to configure OSX Mavericks 10.9 Mail to Text Wrap / Word Wrap

What is the point of the Mail Activity pane (vs. Window Activity)?

I was happy to see this new little pane in the lower left corner, but I have yet to actually see it display anything. The old, separate Activity Window still shows everything in great detail, but I'd prefer the more compact version... if that's what it's for.

Yes it looks like like yet another half hearted band-aid solution. The difference appears to be that the small activity window built into the interface only shows mail being retrieved or sent. Whereas the normal activity window, which you need to manually display with a key command, shows status of all the activity - ie contacting the server etc.
I wonder if any clever folks out there know of a way to tweak the code in mail so that the small activity window can display the full status information?
Those who used Mail previous to Tiger will recall that the Mail program used to always display the status when you checking/sending mail. Why on earth did Apple remove it?? Now you sit and wait and wonder without any user feedback beyond an obscure spinning wheel.

In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

When I click on Backspace in Contact name the cursor moves to the next tab

While editing a contact first name, when I click on 'Backspace' in First Name the last character of the name is deleted and the cursor automatically moves to the next tab which is the Middle Name.

If you are talking about searches from - http://www.google.com/ - are you logged into a Google account all the time? If so, check your "Search Settings" from the "gear" in the upper-right corner of that Google search page and see if you have '''Open search results in a new browser window.''' check-marked, at the bottom of that preferences page. When that is check-marked and you have Tab options in Firefox set to '''Open new windows in a new tab instead''', you will get search results always opening in a new tab instead of the same tab. As to why that works different for "sponsored links" I don't know, I haven't seen the "sponsored links" for years now, I have a GM script that blocks those advertisements.

When I try to type in pop-up window while using webbased templates, the cursor moves to the location/address bar

I use web-based templates for formulating replies to email queries of customers. When I click on a template, pop-up windows open for entering all non-general/specific details in the template. With the installation of the new version of Firefox, what happens is that when I try to type in the pop-up window, the cursor automatically moves to the address/location bar ! This was not the case with the old firefox. How do I prevent my cursor to move automatically to the address bar ?

Hi jaideepdesai,
Do you have the accessibility type in page option turned on?
I think it is [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Inline_autocomplete]
I it is definitely one of these: browser. urlbar.
See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries About:config entries]
By default a new window should open the cursor in the search field on the page. Resetting Firefox will get you back to the default on about:support page.

I have 2 iMacs with Maverick. One shows DVD's requiring Adobe Flash fine the other plays for a while then I get parts of the DVD presentation that freezes cursor movement but the video

I have two iMacs both with Maverick. When working with Training DVD's requiring Adobe Flash there is no trouble with one iMac but the other will have problems. The DVD will run fine and then there will be a break (5-10 seconds) in the audio but not the video. When the audio comes back on the presentors movement of the curson will be frozen. Have I disabled something on the one computers but not the other to cause this problem?

I have a regular usb mouse and it isn't working. It sometimes clicks, but it can't make the cursor move. The red light will not turn on.

I have been using a mouse with my MacBook Pro for a very very long time now:
Optical USB Mouse:
Product ID:    0xc016
Vendor ID:    0x046d (Logitech Inc.)
Version:     3.40
Speed:    Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Manufacturer:    Logitech
Location ID:    0x06200000 / 3
Current Available (mA):    500
Current Required (mA):    100
I'm running OS 10.6.8 on a MacBookPro that is fairly old.
The mouse is detected on the USB port, either one, but the red light won't light anymore so I can't use it to move the cursor. I've tried rebooting, I've tried the cammand-option.P.R thing. Still no red light.
Help?

Mouse Gas?
I took both of them to work and both worked fine in a different Mac laptop. I brought home two other mice and they both work here in my home computer. That works, but I wish I knew why the first two don't work at home because the logitec mouse I bought for home has very light action and the center wheel needs only a very light touch. I really really liked it and can't find one like it to replace it with.

My mailboxes are not showing up in the viewing area. When I create a new mailbox they are listed. How do I restore them in the mail view?

My mailboxes are not visible. When I go to add a new mailbox they are visible when asked where to put the new mailbox. If I lost them how do I get them back if possible. I have played around with everything that I can think of but with no luck.

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

In the mail list pane, 'From' column shows the first sender in a conversation? How to make that the sender of the last mail in the conversation (by time)?

The first sender in a conversation can be irrelevant after a conversation grows long and I'm more interested in who's active more recently than whoever started the conversation/thread.

@duggabe, Not actually. That would just sort "threads/conversations" by date. The From column would continue to show the first sender for each thread/conversation.

How do I see my most looked at websites in the main viewing pane when I open a new tab?

This used to be what I saw on the main area in front of me, but now I have a thing with MySearchDial in front and I can't change back. I have deleted My Search Dial from the programs.
Thanks for your help.

hello, please install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
