Dragging attachment on to Mail icon in the Dock

Dragging an attachment on to the Mail icon in the Dock opens up 2 Mail windows instead of one, is anyone else having this problem?

As the developer of MailTags I will confirm it is a bug in the initial public beta of MailTags for Leopard. I am looking into it but it probably will not be fixed in the next public beta due out in a couple of days, unless something comes up that this is more than inconvenience bug.

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

  • Problem with the Mail icon in the dock

  • How do I remove the superscript number from the Mail icon on the Dock?

    I have unsuccessfully  searched all folders and topics on the left side of the Mail page to find one supposed incoming email, as the Mail icon indicates with a numeral One on the Mail Icon in the dock to no avail.  How can I either find this unread email via a shortcut, or remove the superscript "1" from the Mail icon on the Dock? Thanks!

    Hmm, this seems kind of too obvious, but when I look at Mail, in the MAILBOXES sidebar on the left, every mailbox and folder has an oval to the right of its name listing how many unread messages it has.  (Sadly, I have a lot of ovals with big numbers in them!)
    Doesn't one of your ovals have a "1" in it?
    Hope that helps...

  • Jumping Mail icon in the Dock difficult to click

    I have set up some mailboxes to make the icon jump in the dock on new mail - and it happens frequently that I need multiple clicks on that icon to get Mail to front. If it's just in the upper position, the area below the icon seems to be a void room where clicking doesn't work.
    Sometimes I feel I should exercise with a fast paced shooter game ... or am I just getting old?

    Hi Marsias,
    Sometimes I feel I should exercise with a fast paced shooter game ... or am I just getting old?
    Yes, you are to slow ...
    Just go with the mouse pointer to the Mail icon in the Dock, at the moment that it starts to jump ... don't follow it UP & DOWN. Just wait until it is back down in the Dock and click on it.
    Or, shut down the Mail notification that it jumps ... it will only have a red sign with amount of incoming mails in ti ... like 1 - 2 - 3- etc ...
    Also you can hear when you have new mail by the sound you set for incoming NEW MAIL.

  • Can I create two mail icons in the dock for two separate accounts?

    I'm trying to set up two mail icons in the dock - one for my wife's e-mail, one for me - all under the administrator iMac log in. I'm trying to do this without her having to have a separate mac log in. Is this possible? If so, how do I duplicate the postage stamp mail icon and capability?

    If there are two users on one Mac, the best approach is to have two user accounts, one for you and one for your wife.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    The new user account will appear to be a whole different Mac, and she can set it up to her liking (different mouse settings, desktop background, Dock appearance, etc.) without affecting anything in your user account. If you enable Fast User Switching, both users can be logged in at the same time, and switch using the right corner of the Menu Bar.
    With separate accounts, each persons instance of Mail will be their own and go to their email account.

  • I use AOL for my sins and I have to open Mail Inbox for the red alert to appear on the Mail icon in the Dock. How do I get the red alert to appear first? I have obviously tweaked something, because it used to do that. I'm new here, my MacBook just 5 days.

    LOL.....I'm new here and I thought I had to type all my question in the Title Box.....LOL
    Anyhow, I think you get the gist of it.

  • Can't open my mail from the icon on the dock

    I am unable to open my mail from the "mail Icon on the dock" what is going on?

    Restart your computer.  Make sure you move the icon out of the dock far enough.  If you have to, drag it to the top of your desktop then let go. 

  • Why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock?

    Hi all,
    As I'm endeavoring to further my knowledge on the Mac, I'm curious as to know if I'm losing out on not using the mail icon on my dock.
    Any particular reason I should use it? I currently use yahoo and gmail. I think they're considered IMAP technology and I can access it anywhere any anyhow as long as I have access to the web. I also use my iphone to access it.
    So... why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock? Are the reasons going to be for the characteristics for POP? I.E, can off load mail to my Mac and read later without having live access to web?
    BTW, if I did want to setup mail on the dock. What is the incoming and outgoing mail server for yahoo? Sorry, could locate that info. in yahoo mail.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think you are asking why you should use the Mail application versus using "web mail" through a web browser, and not just about the Mail icon on the Dock, is that correct?
    You should use whatever is more convenient.
    Mail is a standalone application designed for email access, so it is more responsive and has more features. Web-based apps are getting much better, but you can still tell you are in a web browser. You can work off-line, even if you use an IMAP service (such as MobileMe). You can save emails locally, even if most emails are on the server, and if it's POP, all your messages are downloaded to a local database (that may or may not be an advantage to you).
    Mail is integrated with Address Book and iCal (and other Apple apps). You can use Time Machine to recover individual deleted emails, just like you would recover deleted files or folders (using the +flying through space+ interface).

  • I have   ?  On my mail aplication on the dock

    I have a question mark sign on mi mail icon on the dock  .. is imposible to open my mail

    {quote:title=Dillie wrote:}
    my Applications' folder now has a little arrow on the bottom left-hand side and the icons are different in this folder and it has an info screen at the left-hand side when it opens up.
    Sounds like you created an alias. That's what the little arrow icon is.
    I double-clicked applications in my hard drive and put it on the dock.
    Don't double-click. Just go to your Application Folder in Finder (not from the sidebar) and drag the Application Folder to the right hand side of the Dock.
    To get your Sidebar prefs back in Finder menu go to Preferences > Sidebar

  • Replacing the Applications Icon in the Dock, not just with an Applications alias--two different things

    There is at least one answer to my question posted here, except it's not quite accurate. I too accidentally yanked my Applications folder from the Dock (which, by the way, is very easy to do, so in the way is the Dock. It's just very easy to drag it or any other icon in the dock out accidentally while working in a another programs, most particularly perhaps while working furiously back and forth across the screen in a grahics program. And hiding the Dock doesn't help because one is constantly bumping the sides of the screen with the mouse. In fact, choosing to hide the Dock might make matters worse because one forgets it's there. That's what happened--I accidentally grabbed it and pulled it out.
    I thought to put back an alias out of Finder and it works okay, but not like before. The old Applications icon wasn't just an alias (and I don't recall there being a shortcut symbol attached to the old Applications Icon). Now when I click on it I don't get the balloon that used to pop up dislaying all of my program as large icons. Instead I just get a Finder-style list of my applications such that it's harder to locate the program I want to use.
    What I really want back is the old Icon that worked as it used to work and that installs with the orginal installation of Snow Leopard. Does anyone know how to get that one back? Thanks,

    FYI - All Dock icons are aliases, however they don't show the curly arrow.
    To view your folder contents as you wish, right-click on the icon and choose the view options -
    "display as" 'folder' will just show the folder, 'Stack' will show the first application in the folder (usually Adress Book).
    View contenta as - list or grid - no fan option when the Dock's at the side (as it sounds like yours is).
    EDIT
    Incidentally, if you've dragged an alias to the Dock instead of the actual folder from Finder, you now have an alias pointing to another alias pointing to the Applications folder.
    Bit unnecesary.

  • Can I swop an icon in the Dock?

    Okay, a bit unlikely, but a good icon is a pleasing thing.
    For ages I've used a third party app with a great icon but now I've changed to a new equivalent — it does a better job but has a really bad icon.
    Can I swop icons with Terminal or otherwise modify one?

    Great, baltwo! I'd really like to do this but need a little more help, please.
    For starters, I took a screenshot of the old Dock icon that I want to re-use with Snapz Pro X and got a 70 KB 63 x 65 RGB .tiff image. Then I do as you say, "Select the app, CMD+I, click on the icon," but find I can't paste in the new image.
    Maybe it's this particular app -- the icon I want to replace is for Snapheal and to start it up, one drags an image onto its icon in the dock. So when I try to paste in the new image, the app starts up.
    Thanks . . . fortes

  • IPad- on Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email.  When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing.  All the folders are emptied. All mail is either read, trash, or deleted.

    iPad- on all Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email.  When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing.  All the folders are emptied. All my mail is either read, trash, or deleted. Also, when I tap on the mail app on iPad home page, gmail is no problem but for yahoo I get error: no password for yahoo. Go to Mail Account Settings and enter password.  I'm stuck. Suggestions?  Thank you.

    Ask and you shell receive.....lol
    Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
    Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
    Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
    The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
    The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
    Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
    Go look at pop download
    There you'll find 3 numbered lines
    Go to 1. Status
    And select enable pop for all mail
    Then save the settings
    Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
    Let me know how it works out.
    I just did it and it sync within minutes.
