Does apple mail need to be re-configured?

Suddenly my mail program on my macbook pro won't work with my time-warner Time warner says I have to change my preferences in mail

I am desiring this same type of solution. I just want to be able to stream photos or video from my laptop directly to an Apple TV connected to an HDTV or LCD projector. It seems like it should be possible to create an AdHoc network on the laptop that the AppleTV could connect to but that doesn't seem to be the case.
When I create the network on my MacBook pro, the AppleTV cannot see it thus cannot connect to it.
Very limiting and I wish I could find an alternative that would work.

You have to do it on the Apple TV itself while it's plugged into a TV so that you can see its screen.

How does Apple Mail handle a full IMAP server?

I am using IMAP on my serverr with the Apple Mail application. I would like to know what happens when the mail server gets full. Am I supposed to monitor the amount of room, or does Apple Mail automatically archive the mail entries on my computer?
Also, if the server loses its mail, will Apple Mail retain the mail locally or should I create a archive folder to handle any server problems?
I was using a POP server before and never worried about this because the mail was always on my computer and if the POP server got full or lost mail, I would not lose anything I already received since it was stored locally.

The state of your server is your issue, if it fills up you won't be able to receive mail. Make a local folder (On Your Mac) and move old mail there.

Why does apple mail keep running on my system, i never use it

My macbook pro runs Lion, the latest version.
For some reason, apple mail program starts up, and it is a program I have never used, nor do I plan to.
I made a trip into the store and they did a quit, but of course, that doesn't solve the problem.   No real
answer for why its starting, who/what starts it, and how to prevent it.
Each time its running I have to click 2-3 dialogue boxes before it will let me quit, and it prevents the machine
from going to sleep if its running and I'm not aware of it.
Apple told me they were using the mail program to synch between the iphone and the machine.   Although I did
install cloud, I do not use it. My machine has so many problems, ever since I bought it, and I have had so many
trips to the apple store, without real explanations or solutions.   What has happened to the great produce we
knew and loved?    Complexity and the post-modern era are upon us.
I have logged 71 hours of tech support time on the iphone, so I no longer work on trying to solve that problem.
I actually work for a living and have no time for this.   The sad thing is I am in a position to recommend products
for my employer and some major new budgets in the health sector. I loved my mac for years and years.. always
buying a mac, making arguments for macs when all around me had pc's, etc.    Now I am starting to doubt the mac.
I hope that by participating in the mac community there will be some simple answers, and I don't have to spend HOURS
of frustration for things that should not be a problem in the first place.    We bought apple one-one, but the website never
works, and although they told me to call to make the appointment, it is just the general number and there is 45 minutes
of scratchy music with someone who does not know how to make one-one appointments....
Sorry to ***** and moan here....       I'm sure I'm not the only one having these frustrations.

etresoft, I think you are being unnecessarily harsh to gloriastitz. She is frustrated and doesn't understand computers at the level you do. What she is experiencing is frustrating, so she is frustrated. I have been a help-desk professional for over 15 years now, and emotions are part of the business.
I know it has been over 6 months since gloriastitz posted her reply. I hope she got a useful answer, but I fear we have satisfactorily scared her away from seeking help.
So, the first best response to tell someone is that the problem they are experience is almost certainly fixable, but may require more information to solve. You tell them you understand their frustration (even if you personally don't experience frustration or don't understand why people my express frustration publicly about a problem that frustrates them). It's just good protocol.
Then you work with the person to break down the problem into steps. If you don't have a ready answer and don't think you might even know the answer with sufficient data, then back out and leave it to others to tackle.
I've been having a similar problem with my Mail program. The cause is still unclear to me after vieweing the logs and changing settings where I know them to be. There appears to be a setting that is not clearly placed in any of the typical UI locations for initiating the desired action for either a feed: or mailto: call.

I think you are. This is not a place to rant and complain. It will just encourage people to give you unhelpful responses. If you want to complain, go elsewhere. If you want help, ask for it.
For example, can you explain what those dialog boxes actually say? Regardless of who is starting Mail, it will not prevent your machine from sleeping.

Apple mails needs ages to send mails

Hi,
I am using apple mail as a pop3 client for my yahoo mails. I was wondering why my mails were received by the recipients hours later or not at all.
I made a test and set up a mailaccount at googlemail.com and I found out:
a mail from yahoo.de directly at yahoomail was sent immediately to google mail.
a mail from the yahoo-account in applemail did not found its way yet.
Does anybody know if this is a general problem, or if the settings in applemail are wrong?
Thanks.

How often is Mail set to check for new messages?

Why does Apple Mail preview pane display only sender's first name?

Some, but not all, of the mail I receive shows only the sender's first name in the preview pane. I've checked the three areas others have mentioned as possible sources of the problem: 1.) Both first and last names appear for these senders in my Contacts. 2.) None of these senders appear with only first names in my Previous Recipients list. 3.) The full headers don't show first name only.
When I used Entourage, emails from the same senders never showed only first names in the preview pane.
Is this a bug in Apple Mail? Is there a workaround?

I came here looking for a similar answer. Some of my HTML messages show up just fine in Mail 3.5. Others, I get the plane text alternative or a bunch of raw HTML. With no answer in sight on the Discussion groups, I decided to look at the raw mail message of one of the offending emails.
Under the View menu I found a sub menu called Message then there are 6 choices beneath that:
*Long Headers*
*Raw Source* (which is what I was looking for)
+(and then below a separator I found a surprise!)+
*Plain Text Alternative* (grayed out)
*Previous Alternative* (grayed out)
*Next Alternative* (available)
*Best Alternative* (available)
Only the appropriate ones for the current message display format are available.
So low and behold selecting "next" or "best" changed my message into fully readable HTML format with pictures, formatting, etc.
I am assuming that something in the way that the multipart MIME message is assembled by some senders' systems does not sit well with Mail. I'm not going to bother figuring it out, but I'm sure that close examination of the raw message would give some clues.
Now if only I could figure out how to choose the message format based on the sender, I could eliminate having to change every message that comes in from that sender. Maybe AppleScript and a Mail Rule?

Does Apple Mail have a timer?

I have 1,500 newsletters to send to a homeowners association. My Internet Service Provider limits me to no more than 1,000 messages in an hour. Is it possible to set Apple Mail to regulate the time it takes to send the messages? For example, could I send 300 every hour?

No. Mail does not have such a timer. Maybe a third party email client might but I've not heard of such.
Better solution is to find a third party email service like iCloud or Gmail or Yahoo than to comply with arbitrary limits from your ISP. Who are these people anyway? Are these limits imposed on non-business accounts? Is there a business account option that would allow you to send your newsletters? How about switching ISPs?

Why does Apple Mail window default to wrong monitor?

I have two 30" Apple monitors with a MacPro 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon running Mavericks. In previous systems I would have my Apple Mail open on the second monitor. Since Mavericks nothing I do will let Mail open anywhere but in its default position, which is upper left corner of main monitor. Very frustrating. I must manually move it every time I launch Mail. Any solutions out there?
fyi - iTunes window opens to the same position where I had closed it, which is on my second monitor where I want it.

I have this with Firefox once in a while. To get it back where I want it, I open FF and drag it to the display I want it on & maximize it. Then, I open iTunes on the display I DON'T want FF in, and maximize it. Open a few tabs and close the window. When I reopen it iTunes prevents FF from opening on the other display and it goes back to the secondary.
That may or may not work with Mail

Does Apple TV need Internet bandwidth even if the content is available on LAN?

Hi,
I was wondering whether Apple TV needs Internet connection just to verify user credentials or it actually uses bandwidth to stream media even if the videos are available locally on a storage device.
I am using an Apple TV 2nd Generation connected to a HD TV. I use Air Video Server to stream videos from a laptop connected to the same LAN.
Even though both devices are connected to a LAN I see usage of Internet bandwidth on my Telstra account.
can someone explain to me why ATV needs Internet to stream local videos?
Regards,
Kiran

I noticed the same problem with my ATV2. I have a laptop connected to a router at my cottage and it is not connected to the internet. As soon as i upgraded to 6.0 it took forever to stream movie that were in itunes. I tried both wirelessly and wired. I even bought a different brand of router and that made no difference. It worked fine before the update. When I brought the router home and connected it to the internet, it was instanteneous, but when disconnected it slowed to being unusable. I think that something changed in V 6.0 and it hasn't been corrected yet becuase I just updated to the latest version and it made no difference.

Does apple tv need a phone connection?

Does apple allows to install multiple wifi configuration profile installation in a single device ?

Let know that whether there is an option to install Wi-Fi configuration profiles containing configuration for different SSID's in a single device so that I need not to install a new FileName.mobileconfig file via iPhone Configuration Utility everytime for different SSID's.

My question is does the reduction of throughput of Wifi occurs from the Extended Wi-Fi base station only, or it affects the primary base station as well?
The bandwidth loss would be for the "entire" extended wireless network, not just from the extending base station. To improve the overall bandwidth of the extended network, placement of each base station is an important factor.
I'm wondering would the thorughput be the same if I connect wired or the connection will be worse than 1.5MB/s thereabouts if I bridge wirelessly.
Bandwidth performance-wise, going from best-to-worst: 1) wired-to-wired, 2) wired-to-wireless, 3) wireless-to-wireless (extended network,) & finally 4) wireless-to-wired (aka, wireless Ethernet bridge).

Does apple tv need wifi

Hi I am considering buying an apple TV but i need to know first if you will need a wifi connection in order for to work with airplay or if it will work at all.

SJCCraig95 wrote:

yes, airplay connections are made over your network
also can it be a network connection that was set up from my computer without the internet?
internet is not required, just a local network. both devices need to be connected to the network (iphone and appletv, and they need to be able to see each other).

Does Apple mail app take 1.7 GB even when empty?

I emptied out my trash, my junk, and threw away all incoming …. nothing left. But my usage still says I'm using
1.7GB in my mail app ….. is that as empty as it gets?

Hi BKDubble,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you are having an issue with a mismatch in the reported storage space for Mail in iOS on your iPhone, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data, then try the following troubleshooting steps (the article is aimed at a slightly different issue, but the steps can also be helpful for storage reporting issues):
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Regards,

Does Apple mail have trouble with AOL E-mail addresses?

When I send E-mail to an AOL E-mail address at least 50% of the time I get this annoying “Delivery Notification” failure crap messages back.
I just copy and paste my original message and I keep sending it until I don't get that crappie message back anymore.
Does anyone else have this problem? If so, did you figure out how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

I had a bit of trouble sending to AOL in the past. It seemed most often when my email addy had the word MAC in it.
My ISP is Macace, and they would frequently get returned. If I used my throwaway yahoo account all was fine. I thought it was somehow linked to how mail.app did things so I went in and did a test via webmail. The email still got blocked.
Do AOL not like Macs? Who knows what is going on. They have a Mac version of their software so it shouldn't be.
