Does Mail need to be open for emails to appear in Notifications?

I love the notifications feature in Mavericks, and in particular, I like that incoming emails pop up like in iOS. My question is, does Mail app need to be open for emails to appear in Notifications?

On the Mac, Mail needs to be open to be notified of incoming Mail. I tend  to leave the app open all the time, just collapsed into the Dock, getting notified by Notification Centre as emails arrive and leaving a red badge on the Mail icon in the Dock if Mail arrived whilst I was away.

  • Does Mail need to be opened to recieve notifications?

    Like the question says, do I need to open Mail to recieve these notifications or is there a way to recieve these even though Mail is closed?

    Yes, unlike in iOS, Mail needs to be open to receive notifications.

  • Does iTunes need to be open for home sharing to work?

    It seems that not only does my mac need to be on (duh) but I must also launch iTunes in order to access content from my iMac. Is this the case?

    James,
    That is correct. iTunes must be started.
    Cheers

  • Mail doesn't always open an email message on first try

    Hello Discussion Board,
    I have an issue where Mac Mail doesn't always open an email message on the first try. This is happening on two of my Macs and I seem to remember this starting with the installation of Mavericks, but I'm not entirely positive about that. It may have been happening before Mavericks.
    This issue does not happen with every message I open, and it seems to happen with random messages at random times, so it's tough to pinpoint exactly what triggers th problem.
    I'm not sure if it's one of these non-default settings that I use:
    1) I keep the message preview window closed so that I only see the list of email messages. (I keep it closed by sliding the edge where the message list and the preview window meet, all to the right).
    2) I keep "Use Classic Layout" checked in my Mail Preferences.
    3) I keep "Organize by Conversation" deselected in the View menu.
    I've tried restoring these defaults and I can't replicate the issue but obviously, having the preview window open eliminates the need to double-click the message to open. However, double-clicking the emails opens them right up. I'm still testing this, however, I just started testing and as I mentioned previously, I prefer to have Mail configured differently.
    Has anyone else come across this issue and discovered the culprit?

    Did you ever solve this problem?  I have the same issue on two different iMacs, one at work and one at home and on my macbook pro.  It's becoming irritating and I wonder why Apple can't be bothered to fix it.

  • My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time -been

    My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time.

    I tried this, but no luck. I went to Previous System>Users. There is nothing inside the "Users" folder, so I hit a dead end.
    I can find my new e-mails -- those that came in since I re-installed the system -- in my NEW system (which I did to see if I was correctly understanding the advice), by going to Users>Home>Library>Mail>POP account name>Inbox.
    Let me add a new question: I am running PhotoShop C3. It opens OK, and I can use it, but when it opens I get this message: "One or more files for Adobe Application Support folder are missing. Please re-run the PhotoShop installer."
    I don't like re-installing working programs if I can avoid it, because it always seems to lead to other issues. Any idea what files are missing, and where it/they might be in the Previous System folder?
    thanks

  • Is there a fix for Mail keeping 4 connections open for one.......?!

    Is there a fix for Mail keeping 4 connections open for one email account setup as IMAP.......?!
    Im just wondering whether this is possible because it means our company website falls over when the processes go over 25! There are a lot of emails.....
    It is a massive pain and ideally we dont want to upgrade our hosting package if we can help it!
    There must be a way round it?! Someone brainy know any tricks?!

    Ernie Stamper wrote:
    Never have encountered this -- more info, please? What are 4 connections, exactly?
    Very simple: Mail opens one connection for each IMAP mailbox on the account. Typically, this means Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, and Trash, but also includes Apple Mail To Do and Junk and any mailboxes/folders the user has created.
    The problem is that Mail is keeping these connections open when it's done checking for new mail, even when *Use IDLE command if server supports it* is not enabled. With 4 email accounts on one server, this causes a "500 Internal Server Error" because there are too many processes running. As soon as I quit Mail, my web server resumes serving pages.

  • I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on 'share' then 'send via mail' then on 'Word' and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
    If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
    Pages
    When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

  • Client need to be opened for what all objects?

    Hi Experts,
    I need to list all the objects for which clients need to opened for customizing/master data download, for ex. when we are downloading condition records we need client to be in open/modifiable state, So what I need now is suggestions based on your experience wherever you feel that cleint needs to be opened for this activity .
    Thanks for sharing your experience.
    With Regards,
    Mayank Choudhary

    Hi Mayank,
    Even I tried for the list of all cross-client download objects in vain. I figured a work around for this and found it helpful.
    To check wether a particular object is downloading cross-client data:
    1) Determine all the tables involved by executing CRM table SMOFTABLES with the adapter object name. (Ex: DNL_CUST_SHIP downloads data from the following tables: TINC, TINCT, TPRIO, TPRIT, TVSB, TVSBT.)
    2) In order to check wether these tables are cross client or not, execute table DD02L in R/3 system with all the tables determined in step 1.
    Ex: DNL_CUST_SHIP
    Table  : DD02L
    Table name----
    Client-specific
    TINC----
    X
    TINCT----
    X
    TPRIO----
    X
    TPRIT----
    X
    TVSB----
    X
    TVSBT----
    X
    This means that none of the tables invloved in DNL_CUST_SHIP download are cross-client and can be downloaded without opening the client.
    If there are any client independent tables involved then we need to open client and perform download.
    Ex. DNL_CUST_CNDALL
    The below mentioned tables are involved in DNL_CUST_CNDALL object download and are cross-client and hence the client needs to be open while downloading the object.

  • Why does Mail send two copies of my emails?

    Thank you.

    I'm experiencing this issue also. Just one user where I work, Mail in 10.9.3 and Office 365. In-house users only receiving duplicate messages, i.e. the same message twice. Any idea why or how to fix this?

  • Which ports need to be open for messages and facetime to work properly?

    I noticed that Messages no longer works since upgrading to Yosemite on my work network. But it did when i was in Mavericks. Did they change something in Messages in the upgrade that would cause it to no longer work? ports?
    I'm behind my work firewall, which ports need to be open for messages to work properly?

    Just make sure your 9001 port is open.
    Hope this works..

  • Does Bluetooth need to be enabled for cloud to work?

    Does Bluetooth need to be enabled for cloud to work?

    No, the two are unrelated. You need to be connected to either WiFi or 3G to use iCloud (or any online feature). Bluetooth for the iPad only supports keyboards and audio out.

  • What ports need to be opened for Podcasting?

    To all,
    I am a little lost. We have a server which is inside our firewall. What we're trying to do is to use this server as a test bed for podcasting. Our network admin is going to set it up so that it's behind the firewall but we can still access the content from home or anywhere. Now my question. The admin has asked us what ports need to be opened for podcasting. We have no idea. Is this something we need to setup on the server we are using or is there something else.
    FYI - We are using a Windows NT server...I know, I know, I need to upgrade.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Podcasting is not streaming on content, only downloading. It is basically a blog with an attachment in the RSS feed. Only port 80 (normal web port) needs to be able to go through the firewall.

  • HT5627 Does Mail (Mavericks) have any limitations for size, numer of mailboxes, folders, messages, etc.?

    Does Mail (Mavericks) have any limitations for size, numer of mailboxes, folders, messages, etc. ?

    Ah, so you're not considering running OS X Server here, you're running OS X client and asking about the mail client — looks like both the Apple bot that suggested that support article and I were confused.
    Mavericks Mail.app does have a few flakies that I've noticed but does work.  If Mail.app gets confused, restart it and see if it's less confused.  If the accounts get confused and start tossing the password prompt, remove and re-add the accounts.  When re-adding the accounts, don't use the Internet Accounts path, use the Mail > Preferences path.
    Do make a backup or two before the Mavericks upgrade, and most definitely configure and use Time Machine or some other backup tools after the upgrade.
    If you do decide to go to server (which is where I'd thought this question was originally headed), then you can download everything to your own local server — that'll take some add-on software to pull the mail from your ISP, or a set of mail-forwarding rules to push the mail, and some command-line tweaks to relay the mail out (as you're probably on a DHCP dynamic residential IP address), but that'll work, too.

  • What TCP/UDP ports need to be open for VPN Client version 4.8?

  • Does Aperture need to be open to import from photo stream?

    Hi,
    My photostream is linked to Aperture.  Does Aperture need to be open to import from photo stream or will it still import while it's not running?
    Thanks!
    Mavericks 10.9
    Aperture 3.5

    Might seem silly but is there any way to request a daemon be created to handle this magically in the background? Or open and push iPhoto to the background so I don't know its running?
