Don't want incoming mail

I have mail coming from a server without POP. I have it auto forwarding to another account that does have POP and I get it into Mail through that account. BUT, when I reply, I want it's FROM address to be the original account. Thus, I need to create an account in Mail with the original email address. However, since I'm already getting the email from the 2nd account I don't want to set up any incoming server info on the 1st account. Mail won't let me leave it blank. And if I fill in anything, it continually gives me errors since there's no POP account to log into. Does anyone have an idea on how to set up an account to be used ONLY for outgoing mail?

I really want an autofill, where when I hit REPLY, the FROM address gets filled in automatically with the original address.
Yep, I figured that out by interpreting your original question. The question really had nothing to do with incoming mail or a desire to not get it. The method you tried to use to control your return address is not the most common used. Some programs allow you to specify a reply-to address but I don't think Apple Mail has ever done so.
In the meantime, you can always voice your opinion or ask for a new feature by communicating with Apple directly:

I looked around a bit, but don't see any hacks for Mail 3 that will work.

I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application

I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application. Is there a way to stop that? I can't find it in preferences. I have Check for new messages: Manually.
Also, don't want Mail to automatically download on my iPhone 4S and iPad 3.
Thanks

Hi ctconnor;
Since there are no virus for OS X, I seriously doubt that is what is causing your problem here.
My suggestion open System Preferences then Accounts followed by Login Items. Once there deselect Microsnot Word.

Don`t want E-Mails

Hi,
i don`t want to get an e-mail when somehting happens in my watches threads.
Is there a possiblitly to stop that ?
Regards,
Robin

Mike I beg to differ some...
Getting one notification per forum/thread watched is what I would expect.
This should be enough untill I go back to the forum. This action could then reset the flag...
What I don't need is a notification per posting. In view of the mutliple postings and their frequency this is more of a nuisance than a help.
Please get us the possibility to either receive a single email at the first new posting, or allow us to set email notification off.
The colorscheme will tell us then what the new postings are...
Thanks

Preview Pane: I don't want e-mail marked "Read"

I love preview pane in Mail, but don't want it to automatically mark my e-mail as "read". Any way to do this?

No. If you look at the contents of a message, it's automatically marked as read, and there is nothing you can do about it other than manually marking it as unread.

Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and use the minus sign "-" at the bottom to remove any and all accounts that you don't want in Mail.

Filtering my incoming mail using alias

Hello,
I've just set up an alias on my mail account so I can use a different address for online shopping etc. I've set up a smart mailbox for these messages to go into but they still appear in my main mail box. How can I filter them so they only appear in a separate mail box? I don't want the mails for my alias and those for my main address all mixed up together...

Greetings and welcome,
The problem you are having is with using smart mailboxes. The smart mailbox only has links in it. What you need to do is set up rules that actually move your mail into regular mailboxes. Set up a standard mailbox rather than a smart one, and then have the rule move the mail into that mailbox.

HT201320 I don't want a password for my email acc't but the screen for incoming mail server says a password is required???

can I avoid having a password for using email, etc. on an IPhone 5???

No, or don't use e-mail.

I don't want attachments appearing in the body of the e-mail

How do I not have this happen?
I'm sending art samples. I want to attach a full 8.5x11" page(s) that I want to be downloaded by the recipient, and then viewed in the proper way.
But Mail is putting it in the body of the e-mail so the images are not seen in their entirety at once.
How can I fix this? I couldn't find anything in preferences, though I am not entirely adept at Mail yet.
Thanks.

Well, I CC myself on all my mail and MY viewer puts it all inline.
Because you are using the Mail.app and the Mail.app displays all graphic/image type attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default (sending and receiving) which cannot be turned off.
And I ought to have control over it on both ends.
Well you don't and can't have control over this at the recipient's end regardless the email client used to send a message with graphic/image attachments.
You can compress such attachments but many virus scans at the recipient's incoming mail server and/or at the recipient's computer regard such attachments as very likely containing a virus.
Another control issue: I'd always heard that one should not open
certain questionable e-mail, so if it automatically opens, it's asking
for trouble, right?
Don't confuse automatically rendering HTML with graphic/image attachments shown inline or viewed in place within the body of a message which are different things.

How do I set up Mail only for sending? (Don't want to receive messages)

Maybe answer is somewhere on the board but I can't seem to find it...
I think in the past, on older version of Mail, I was able to set up a personal account on my work computer so that I could send from the personal account in Mail. Thing is, I don't want to see or store incoming personal messages (too much distraction at the office!).
Can Mail be set up this way?
If I uncheck "enable account," then I don't see option to send from that account. But if I check it, it shows me incoming mail from the account.
Thanks in advance.

How about Mail -> Preferences -> General: Check for New Messages and select "Manually" from the drop down.
Now Mail won't look for incoming mail unless you tell it to.

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

There are two ways that should work. When you are in the trash folder, you can swipe on the email in the list - left to right - and a red Delete button should pop up. Or you can select - Edit - at the top of the list of messages and then select the message and tap delete.
Not sure exactly how this works - but if you have restrictions enabled - especially since you let your grandchild use the device - that may be restricting what you can do in the mail app. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. If you have it set to on - turn it off or see if you have mail restricted.

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again.. I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.

There is no option to reject an incoming call in locked screen, there must be an icon on the screen for one who don't want to use lock button several times, i did'nt face this problem in last ios 6.1.3.

A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

Is it possible to manage multiple apple ID's from 1 e-mail account? I don't want users of an ihone to mess about with the apple store

I am the telecom manager of a small company and I want to manage the iPhones in the company myself ( 7 pieces ) so that a user can not mess about with the phohe and the app store. I already found out how to block some of the functionality of the phone. I don't want to setup appleID's per users e-mail address because the confirmation of the apple ID will always be sent to the users of the phone.
Is this possible?
Johan

Nope. You can only have one credit card attached to an account at a time. Its not that big of a deal to use two accounts, users do this all the time. Create the second account(UK Account) in iTunes on your computer...sign out of your Italian account first. Then authorize your computer for this new account: Store>Authorize this computer. Then sync your phone. Now, to switch accounts on your phone: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

I have imported three gmail accounts into mac's mail client. can i do anything to distinguish between them? e.g., can i have each one appear in the mail list in a different color? I don't want to do it by sender, but by email account.
