Display preferences for Mail 5.0

After deleting an email from the inbox in mail 5.0, is it possible for the reading pane to show the 'no message selected' screen that you see when you click on a sub folder instead of displaying the adjacent message? Currently, this causes me to have to mark the adjacent email as unread if I don't intend to action it at that time.

Not that I know of in full screen 3 column view-
You can drag the divider all the way to the right side, so basically it is two columns. Then each mail open individually with out opening the next when you delete.
Not a perfect work around, granted.
The other option would be to open in classic.

My Acount Settings & Preferences for Mail keep verting to previous settings

The references to my "Account Directory" show my previous e-mail settings-
/User/my name/Library/Mail/POP- old email address. When I try to change these settings to my new e-mail address it immediate activates an email but without a recipients name. When I deleted the reference to my previous
e-mail address settings it keeps returning the previous settings in the Library section. I have removed all references to my previous dial-up settings in the System Preferences-Network because I am now on broadband and have been for 2 years. When I deleted the POP references to my previous e-mail address I lost ALL my inbox and outbox e-mails that I had for the last two years. I am about to upgrade from Panther to Tiger shortly which means I will have new "Mail" software. Currently I have Mail 1.3.11
Is it better to remove this e-mail settings problem as above, first or hope the upgrade to Tiger will do it for me? I prefer to get rid of my previous e-mail settings first before upgrading to Tiger. Can somone help please?

As referenced when creating an account with Mail, an account named folder is created within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail that is named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account. The accounts' mailboxes are located within the account named folder which represent the account named mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
When changing the account settings for an existing account - the account's incoming mail server or email address, the name of the account named folder within the Mail folder does not change which has or should not have any adverse effect.
Deleting an email account with Mail also deletes the account named folder and the accounts' mailboxes within and an error message is provided before doing so that indicates this.
> When I try to change these settings to my new e-mail address it immediate activates an email but without a recipients name.
I haven't experienced the same or heard of this but you can't enter any recipients or cancel this new message that is created automatically?
> When I deleted the reference to my previous e-mail address settings it keeps returning the previous settings in the Library section.
This was before deleting the old account associated with the dial-up internet provider or did this also occur after deleting the dial-up account and recreating the account associated with the broadband provider?
> Is it better to remove this e-mail settings problem as above, first or hope the upgrade to Tiger will do it for me? I prefer to get rid of my previous e-mail settings first before upgrading to Tiger.
Upgrading to Tiger will not do this automatically but besides the name of the account named folder within the Mail folder, are there any problems associated with this?

I can't find the preferences for Mail 2.1.3

When I choose Preferences from under the Mail menu, all I get is the Junk mail info. I need to edit and/or delete an account.

Good news!
I had no idea what it was either until I went there and experimented a bunch!

View display preference for search or spotlight window

Is there a setting that will allow a search window to display column view? Is there a setting that will keep the view that is chosen or last used?

No, not as far as I can tell. See http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html for starters.

HT4864 How do I construct the preferences in mail for the incoming mail server?

I need help in setting up the preferences for mail, especially for the servers. I followed setting up an account and
when I encountered the incoming mail server box, it didn't allow keying anything into it. It is blocked; and with the outgoing server, the choices aren't
clear.
Then when I try using mail, it won't let me send or receive mail saying I can't leave the incoming box empty or that it can't contactr the outgoing server`so I should see iCloud preferences.

Not unless you know which file in the app sets the choices. I've been through it pretty thoroughly and can't find the one.

Rotate display is gone from Display-Preferences

I've had my new MacBook for a week connected to a DVI Samsung 17" LCD monitor. A couple of days ago I lost the portrait mode on the Samsung and checked the Diplay control in System Preferences. The Rotate tool is gone and only "show display in menu bar" is there.
In doing all the Software Updates is it likely that 10.4.10 knocked out this capability on the MacBook? Has anyone else lost the potrait view on their second desktop? Pity, if so; it's one of the reasons I bought the MacBook over the Pro.

I use a samsung DVI 19" LCD external display. On my display preferences the show display in menu bar is on the display control for the MacBook. It is not on the display preferences for the external display. In that window is where my rotate is. I also am running 10.4.10 and mine still works perfectly.

Remove or Delete monitor display preferences as defined by the User -

The clarity and resolution of my display seems to have disappeared. It is currently set at 1440 x 900 which is usually fine except when I start-up, my screen loads what must initially be the default settings - which are perfect - then after a couple of seconds changes to a dark/grainy image.
When I log in to another user account, the image is fine which indicates that it is must be display preferences for the user which has changed (although I don't recall ever doing this). Does anyone know how to reset defaults or remove delete user defined profile?
Thank you.

DearJane
As Limnos points out my suggestion takes a rather blanket approach which may not suit you? However it's also fair to say that problems potentially caused due to damaged and/or corrupted .plists are not exclusive to a single .plist. Occasionally its a combination of 2, 3 or 4 or possibly more that causes the problem.
Hence my suggestion to create a folder on the desktop first. That way if the problem goes away you can introduce desired .plist files later on once you test everything else. It's also my experience that most mac users can benefit from having a major clearout. Couple this with clearing out the contents of /Users/Home/Library/Caches and overall performance can seem quite marked.
A lot does depend on how many 3rd-Party applications/utilities you've added. I have lots of added extras and it does not cause me any problems whenever I clear them all out.
The choice is yours.
HTH?

Changing Page Display Preferences

Is there a way to change the page display preferences for all PDFs using the registry or something that can be scripted on install.
I want to hide the navigation panel buttons on the left and untick the "Create Links from Urls" checkbox..
Any help is most appriciated.
Thanks
DevStu

I think I've figured out how to solve this pixelation problem. Apparently the problem is not specific to Acrobat, but can arise with some older programs that weren't designed for Windows 8 (see more here). The solution is to follow the steps outlined in that link: pin Acrobat to the task bar, right click and select Properties and then the Compatibility tab, then make sure the box next to "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" is checked. Voila, now the Acrobat 10 interface appears in beautiful high resolution.
I hope this helps anyone who might have this problem down the road!

How to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer

I would like to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer, one copy for each person in the organization. I want everybody to log in as the same user. Is this possible?
Thanks,
John Link
Cube, 450 MHz, 640 MB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Since the Mail.app preference file (along with all other application preference files for a user account) is stored in that user's Home folder/directory, I don't believe this is possible.

In August installed PE12 on Windows Vista with incorrect Sharing Preference for Email Client. Shows default Adobe Email Service How do I change it to Windows Mail?

Had PE6 previously to installing PE12 on Windows Vista. PE 12 installation went OK except for the Sharing Preference for the Email Client. Existing PE12 client is the default Adobe email service not the correct Windows Mail for Vista. How do I make this change..

Hi,
I think that for PSE 12, you may need to switch to Windows Live Mail
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29224
You may find that you then also need the following fix.
Freeze or error “There is no email program” | Share via email | Elements Organizer | Windows 7
I think that the problem is that the new versions of PSE do not know where to look for the mail client.

Hi..
For Mail, from your Mail menu bar (top of your screen) click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Click the pop up menu to the right of New messages sound to make a selection.

Setting preferences for hyperlink display properties

I want all new hyperlinks created by InDesign and InCopy users at my site to have a certain set of properties. I want them to be sort of orange, with a thin dotted line around them. This is not so that they can be exported to pdf with buttons, but just so that we can preserve links in text for a print paper which is later going to be exported to the web, and I have a script that expands them into html at that point.
But I can't seem to find any preference that I can set that will allow me to set default display options for all hyperlinks newly created by users. Hyperlinks used to show up automatically as black rectangles for us, and now they show up invisible. So because I have personally witnessed some change in the default behavior, I feel sure there must be a preference I can set somewhere. But it's possible that was just the switchover from standard behavior in CS4 to standard behavior in CS5.
Any ideas?

Sorry but no. There are no viewing preferences for the iTunes Store.

After installing Mt. Lion, Mail no longer asks for a password, even though I set preference for using a password.

After installing Mt. Lion 10.8.2, Mail no longer asks for a password before opening messages, even though I tried to set preferences for using the password. Help!

In Mail Preferences, Accounts item: I tried to delete the password (but that did not save). I got this idea from some Mail Help item that I cannot seem to find again. I cannot recall how I did it in Snow Leopard, but I had it set to ask for a password that was used solely for Mail. It would not download anything until I entered that password. Note: I am not on a network; just the single user of the MacPro. Thank you for any guidance you might be able to offer.

Optimum server for mail apparently played havoc with my iMac mail app, kicking my Opt mail offline . Three hours on phone with both. Appears to be Optimum service issue. Had to restore all my mail preferences in Apple app to set that right. Working today

Last night, my Mac Mail app showed Optimum and gmail as offline and first I couldn't send any mail, then stopped receiving. Could sign in at Optimum server, but then that stopped responding. Was on the phone 4 hours, twice with Apple, twice with Optimum. Optimum maintained it was an Apple problem, but had me change my setup for mail in Mail App preferences on my Mac. Got it working and few mintues later out again. I called Apple again. We reset the preferences in mail app and agreed it was the Optimum Server causing problems.
This morning, I couldn't sign in to optimum webmail. Just testing it out, yet I could send mail from my mail apps, mobile and Mac. I didn't get mail that was sent to me last night but seems now it is working again and my preferences in Apple app, are as Apple set or reset them to work with Optimum.
Anyone else have this problem.

Oh yes. Optimum ended by saying. Apple will have to create an App update to Mail to have things work right between them. I don't think so. Optimum's server wouldn't let me sign in this morning at all...even though I mostly use app not the server. Kept redirecting me to Sign-in page . Then an hour later, I could sign in with no problems.
Just be careful about having Optimum change too much over the phone in your Apple mail app preferences. I know Apple and I made a few with ports..and password dropdown. Optimum told me to set it to NONE for password, and that worked for a few minutes, then stopped. This is n Optimum issue , IMHO.
I trust Apple Express support more than I trust Optimum support. The second person I spoke to at Optimum said these complaints about Macs and Optimum and Mac mail app have just been coming in this week. They are aware of it, but I see this isn't the first time this has happened.
Also, since Optimum is still a POP3 server, my e-mails that I delete keep coming back for a few days, on my mobile devices.
