Disabling hyperlinks in Mail

I have set up managed accounts for the kids in which I would like them to have e-mail access but not Safari or IE access. Although the applications priveledges works, there is a loop hole. If somebody sends a hyperlink in an e-mail, the browser will open even though it is not allowed for that account. Once the browser is open, the user can navigate to any other site. Is there any way I can close this hole by either not linking to a browser or rejecting e-mails that have a hyperlink?

Try to log onto your mail account via the browser. I cannot make any sense out of what your provider stated. Should you have login problems via the browser, chances are they have changed your password and not passed on the information.  Try calling your provider again and request a new password. You can apply the new password in the account preference within mail.
     Csound1 is right about mail not having password protection. Its security, is the security provided by SL. The only reason for passwords in mail is for connection to another system. If this is truly the response they gave you, it was a nice "song and dance". Disabling your password would absolutely deny you access to your mail, so how could you download your mail if you cannot get access to your account? Call back up and hopefully you will get someone who has knowledge.

  • Disable hyperlink trigger of Mac Mail

    I think I may wish to disable Mac Mail. The problem is that when I click on a hyperlink in a document cell in a pread sheet that contains a hyperlink (e-mail address) my Mac automatically starts Mac Mail and presents a new mail message that is already addressed. I do not want Mac Mail to automatically open. How can I prevent this from happening or am I just stuck with this feature? Should I remove Mac Mail from my applications if I do not use it?

    Hi Shirley,
    Should I remove Mac Mail from my applications if I do not use it?
    That'd be the easiest thing.

  • Hyperlinks from mail slow to open

    Whenever a hyperlink in mail is selected mail goes into a 'Not responding' mode for 45 to 50 seconds before opening. Mail will then continue to work normally until another hyperlink is selected.

    I'm not sure how to tell what the size of my largest Mailbox is, but it has about 130 messages.
    Unless some cron script or other utility rebuilds mailboxes, never. I just rebuilt them and will keep you up to date.
    Again,

  • I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

    I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

    The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
    The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

  • How do I disable hyperlinks in Pages 5.0?

    I'm creating a document and i have a number of email addresses to work with, cutting and pasting, so I don't want the hyperlinks to be active. It was a simple matter to turn them off in the old Inspector.  But I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it in the current version.  Please advise.

    Hello sudirende,
    Thank you for the question.  You can disable hyperlinks by verifying that Edit>Substitutions>Smart Links is unchecked before you enter the links or email address in the document:
    Turn off automatic formatting for links
    If you don’t want Pages to automatically format links as clickable text, you can turn off automatic formatting.
    Choose Edit > Substitutions > Show Substitutions (the Edit menu is at the top of your computer screen).
    Select the Smart Links checkbox.
    Click a button to replace all occurrences of formatted links in the document, or just in the selected text.
    When Smart Links is turned on for the document, a checkmark appears next to Smart Links in the Substitutions menu. You can deselect it to turn it off, but existing links won’t change unless you select the text that contains them, then follow the steps above.
    You can find more information here:

  • Hyperlinks in mail not working

    Bit of an odd problem. If I click on a hyperlink in mail with Safari closed it does nothing. Again if I right and select the open option from there it does nothing. If Safari is open, irrespective of what page it's on, Safari opens in front of mail, but doesn't take me to the page it just stays on the page it opened at.. It seems to stem from my installing Chrome, which I have now uninstalled using 'CLEAN MY MAC'. When I go into Safari preferences I now expect to only see one default web browser, but the Chrome option still appears. I have tried resetting Safari. Can I delete and re install Safari or is there a plist or something that is corrupt.
    Ken

    "CleanMyMac" is a scam and a common cause of instability and poor performance. The developer's instructions don't completely remove it. Follow those instructions, then do as below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Never again install "CleanMyMac" or anything like it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Hyperlinks in Mail?

    I am a writer and send out links to my Internet articles to a mailing list. I assumed all received links were hyper links. A friend with a Mac was not receiving them as hyperlinks when I was sending them from my old G3 in Outlook Express. I am still sending to that list from my G3. I address them to myself with the mailing list in the bcc field.
    Now, I saw one of them on my G5 and the link was not hyperlinked in Mail. Why is this? I do get hyperlinks in Mail from other sources. I find Mail kind of buggy.
    For example, I still send from the G3 using OE because the mailing list groups did not import to mail as group lists. The group lists were lost. I did not want to rebuild those lists of over 500 addresses manually.
    Can the groups be imported??
    Thanks

    edit>link is all that I am aware of, though when I use it, I copy and paste the web address in lieu of typing it in. Hopes this helps some.

  • Remove underline from hyperlink in Mail.

    How can I remove the underline from hyperlinks in Mail?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Roam.
    I actually used to be able to do this, six months ago at least. Now I cannot. It is odd.  I see my older signatures and they are without the underline and I do remember being able to remove them. The simple text edit no longer works for links now....
    Apple, please fix this!
    Thanks again.

  • Mail on MacBook won't open hyperlinks behind mail.

    After updating to Yosemite 10.10.2 I no longer can open hyperlinks behind Mail. I can open them by clicking on them which takes me directly to the web page, however, some emails have multiple links which I wish to open without leaving Mail first. Prior to the OS upgrade this problem would occur with a few emails but now it happens with all emails.

    LadyC,
    Quit/Force Quit Calendar, then paste this text ~/Library into the Finder>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
    Next open the Calendars and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
    Also open the Preferences Folder in the same Library, and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
    Log out/in or restart, and open Calendar.

  • Breaking Hyperlinks in mail

    When I place a long hyperlink in an e-mail message it "breaks" when received by the recipient thought it looks perfect when I send it. For instance:
    It looks like this when I place a hyperlink in an e-mail message:
    http://discussions.apple.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=960
    When received by the recipient it looks like this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/post!
    default.jspa?forumID=960
    Only the first line is a "blue hyperlink" so the result is that by clicking on the link the don't get anywhere. This happens ALL THE TIME no matter who the recipient is and it only happens with longer links.
    The frustration is I have to put a disclaimer explaining that this can happen and to "please copy and past the whole link in your browser, ..."
    I received a reply as follows from .mac help:
    Quote -I understand that when you include a web address in messages that you send, the link is often broken when it is received by the recipient.
    The reason this is happening is because most email clients see a web address as one long word and break the URL into a second line. Because of this, only part of the address appears as a link which may be clicked on. - end Quote
    They suggested I call Apple Care, which I did. Apple Care basically explained that this is a glitch and that MAIL will always automatically break long links/words after around 60 or so characters.
    So the answer from Apple is there is nothing to be done about it. The guy I spoke with said this was the first he has heard of the problem so I am questioning his (lack of ) answer and seeking a second opinion, YOU!
    Am I the only one who is having this problem?
    I tried the option of turning a couple words (like "click here") into the hyperlink (open mail, then "new message", "Edit", "Add Hyperlink". etc and the hyperlink looks perfect to me but again, after being received there is no hyperlink, just two black words "click here" that don't take you anywhere.
    Any ideas?

    It's all non-MAC using recipients, using every type of email viewer.
    Your comment "If the receiver is seeing messages in plain text, that's probably the way it works...." Brings up the point that I'm SENDING in plain text (at the suggestion of Apple Care).
    I did a couple of tests just now to my friend, a PC user. Sent long links in plain and rich text and guess what? They break in plain text but are intact in rich text. Same goes for the second part of my question regarding turning words like "click here" into a hyperlink. Does not work in plain text but it works just fine in rich text.
    Genius Kenichi Watanabe!
    I brought up the topic of plain vs rich text with the Apple Care guy when addressing this issue. He knew I was using Plain text, I even asked if that had anything to do with it!?!?! Frustrating!
    Still a bit confused about Plain vs Rich. This article helped a bit:

    Thanks again! Glad you spent the time to read and answer my question.

  • Disabling hyperlinks

    Is there a way to disable the feature in Mac Mail that automatically turns email addresses into hyperlinks within the body of a message?
    Thanks

    Yes. Change your message formatting to Text rather than RTF. Open Mail preferences, click on the Composing icon in the toolbar. The message formatting options are in the topmost drop down menu.

  • Temporarily disable hyperlinks when zoomed in? (OS 3.0.1)

    Hi all,
    Is there a way in Mail or Safari on the iPhone to temporarily disable all hyperlinks when zoomed in? I am visually impaired and zoom in quit a lot on HTML email messages and in Safari. I can't count the number of times I've accidentally activated a hyperlink when panning around the page while zoomed in. This is very annoying! I can hardly read an entire article while zoomed in without activating some link on that page.
    I don't think there is a way but I wanted to at least ask the forum before submitting feedback to Apple. Any other suggestions on how to avoid this annoyance will be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Steven

    Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to do that. I feel your pain; I have an eye problem as well and it's kind of frustrating, but it helps if you just try to avoid pressing the links while zooming.

  • How can I disable hyperlinks in a pdf

    Sorry if i'm not posting this question in the most
    appropriate category.
    I'm trialing Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional and I'm looking for
    a way to disable the hyperlinks within a pdf.
    Basically in my workplace we provide an information directory
    using a touch screen monitor for members of the public to use to
    research health conditions. I want the members of the public to be
    able to access certain pdf files but not to be able to escape from
    that pdf file. Currently if they click on a hyperlink (whether it
    be an email address or even a linked picture) then they are able to
    escape from what they are supposed to be reading.
    From the 'preferences' - 'general' menu I have unchecked
    'create links from URLs' which now brings up a security message
    asking whether to allow or block the URL but this isn't the
    solution I was looking for.
    I have read about putting a space part way through the URL to
    fool Adobe so that it doesn't recognise the link as a URL but that
    solution just isnt feasible in this case as there are potetially
    hundreds of hyperlinks i would have to find and then edit (also
    this wouldn't work if there are any pictures which are
    hyperlinked).
    I'd be extremely grateful for any help with this problem.
    Perhaps this isn't a feature available in Adobe 9 Professional and
    someone might know which version I should be using.
    Thanks in advance
    Charlotte
