E-mail alias drop-down menu in Mail missing?

Ordinarily when I create a new e-mail in Mail, the new e-mail window has a drop-down menu from which I can pick an e-mail alias.  It's disappeared for some reason.  How do I restore it?
I don't know if it's connected, but at the moment, I seem to be unable to send a message from Mail.  I checked the connection, and it said it's fine, but the message won't send.  Was able to send using iCloud.com, though.

That only appears if you have multiple smtp servers. If you are not able to send emails, I would guess one of your smtp servers is not on line.  Check the Connection Doctor to see if there is a problem.

  • Mail can not open, blocked by drop down menu

    Mail will not open. Drop down menu says: To view this page you need to log in to area "www.outlookmail.com" on www.outlookmail.com:443 Then it asks for my name and password.
    I click cancel and the drop down exits and reappears. Do I have a virus? Now what?

    Hi Jo ann,
    I just got that on popping on my email saying the same thing" www.outlookmail.com:443" to sign in.
    what did you do to fix it? what is it -is it? is it a virus?
    can you please let me know what i should do
    I appreciate that, thank you.

  • My mail subfolders are missing from the viewing pane, but available from inbox drop down menu. How do I get them back in the viewpane?

    After a restart, all of my mail subfolders are gone from the side view pane. I can pull them down individually from the 'inbox' drop down menu. How do I get them back into the sidebar so I can sort mail out of the inbox?

    No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
    I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared.

  • How do I get a drop-down menu to choose SMTP when composing an email in Apple Mail?

    Apple Mail used to have a drop-down menu in the Composing Mail window to select the SMTP server to use.  It is no longer there, in Yosemite (10.10.1).  How do I get that back?

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That's exactly what DW offers validation behaviors or Spry Validation for. Select the form element(s) required to validate, apply the behavior, set the options in the dialog. Done.

  • How can I remove a misspelled username or e-mail addy that is saved in the drop down menu without removing all of them?

    When e-mail addresses or usernames are saved in the drop down menu for easy access, is there a way to remove only the misspelled ones without removing all the correct spelled ones?

    When you see one of those mis-spelt items, highlight it and then hit the Delete key (or hit {Ctrl + Delete} on some platforms).

  • All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu

    All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu. Do you know how to fix this?

  • Mailtag hangs Mail if Keyword drop down menu is not closed

    If you set a keyword tag from its drop down menu *+but do not close up the drop down list+* - when you close the message window Mail hangs and has to be Force Quitted. This happens on iMac and MacBook Leopard 10.5.6 and Mailtags 2.2.3
    (This is repeatable)
    Anyone else seen this?

    http://www.dcphonecases.com/test02/wordTest.html
    this is the movie. as you see the because the next part of the movie is a word input test, it becomes so inconvenient when you try to type something into the field and your mouse moves out and the window disappear.  (** update: just tested,  on(press) <> gotoAndStop() method would disable Input-text field as well)
    that is why I wanted to make it a on(press) <> gotoAndStop() method, and when pressed, the drop-down would stay until a close button is pressed.
    but then the 'choose font' onEnterFrame function destroyed if I put stop(); at the frame, I'm not sure what to do now.
    Thanks for reply

  • When in yahoo mail I can't move mail into the drop down folders below HTheeninyaabout the 9th folder I the drop down menu.

    When in yahoo mail I can't move my read mail into the drop down folders below about the 9th folder in the drop down menu.  What am I doing wrong?

    To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

  • In Mail 3.6 how can I delete address from the drop down menu?

    When I update an email address in the Address Book, the drop down menu in a new email is still the old address.

    I think I figured it out. I have to click on the arrow beside the smart address in a new email and delete it there. I tried removing previous recipients but without success. I'm not sure what the name of my software is. Maybe snow leopard. How can I find that?
    Thanks for the suggestion and it probably helped a lot of other users and would have helped me if I knew the software.

  • Missing Alias/account drop down menu when composing?

    This morning, when using MAIL, the drop-down menu to choose which alias to send an email from seems to be gone. My alias's are all still properly set up and the options is there when using webmail.
    I've tried the "customize" section when composing mail (which sets the fleilds shown like "to" "reply to" "BCC", etc) and it's not an option in there either.
    I haven't changed any account settings or prefs in Mail in months, and have tried swapping an older plist file in place in case that had something to do with it.
    Anyone else having a similar problem? Better yet, anyone have a fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi. I've got quite the same problem with regular accounts. I've got an IMAP and a POP account and i'm stuck trying to send an email to google groups with my pop-account because mail automaticly uses my imap-account. the google groups of course denies my post since my imap-account is not allowed to post there. In Thunderbird (i just migrated from linux) it automaticly used the account in which the mail arrived to send from and showed a drop down menu just in case. but mail uses my imap account and i see no way to change that behavior (that option with "send from last used account" (i don't know how exactly it translates from german/don't know how it's called in english mail) is active.)
    hope to get some help soon.

  • TS3276 the images (attachments) are automatically resized (smaller) when I send them to a customer. My email screen does not show a drop down menu box where you can leave as actual size. Is there a setting elsewhere that can be set.

    Any suggestions on problem I have. I receive images, say a file that is 3 mgs through email on Safari mail and when I try to resend it or forward it or any other larger file, when it sends the file is reduced by about 1/3. My screen does not show and drop down menu with a feature to keep actual size or reduce that is suggested when I looked up solutions to the problem.  I can't find a setting anywhere in mail that I can change to make sure my files are kept at actual size. I figure a setting got changed -don't know how - but it happened about a month ago. Caused problems as I work in graphics can't send files to clients as they come out too small. Any suggestions on how to fix.
    Thanks

    What email program are you using? And what do you mean by "Safari mail"?

  • DW CS4 Horizontal Spry drop down menu not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer 8

    Hi,
    I have created a horizontal Spry drop down menu in Dreamweaver CS4 with my own background images. I have done various modifications to the CSS script to accommodate the style and feel needed; including making the main buttons' height twice the size of the sub menu buttons and some alignments. It seems to work different depending which browser is used.
    It works well in Google Chrome.
    It works well in Firefox with the exception that if any of the buttons are clicked, thereafter a thin black line is diplayed horizontally across center of the top main buttons when the mouse rolls over them. I would like to correct this but is not nearly as bad as the problem I'm having in Internet Explorer 8.
    Here is my biggest concern and I would greatly appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this matter.
    Once opened in Internet Explorer 8 the main navigation buttons appear as they should. IE8 prompts me the following: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..". Once I allow IE8 to run scripts or ActiveX controls, the background image disappears and only shows on any menu or submenu button when the mouse rolls over that particular button. Can someone please help.
    The menu can be seen at work by clicking on this link:

    SpryMenuBar.js
    This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar.  You should have no need
    to edit this file.  Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
    used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
    menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
    showing that submenu until the timer fires.

    Hello Nancy,
    I was troubleshooting For the next 8 hours after my post here and eventually I got it right, I uploaded the files to the test server and at the time did not have the chance to post the solution here. This is why, as you saw, it is working correctly now.  Both the CSS and HTML files needed modifications. While working on the code I had to run IE8, Chrome and Firefox simultaneously and refresh all three after every change in the code because what would fix the problem in one would cause a problem for the other.
    In addition to the problems listed in my original post, there were also other graphical issues in IE8, such as; the main menu buttons without sub-menus would only display at half their size vertically. The border around the buttons would not display despite that the background images were rendered in Photoshop as flattened JPEGs with boarders as part of the background image. Being so, I removed all borders from the CSS script.
    By the way.. the IE8 security measure did pop up while working from the server.
    Anyhow for those of you who are experiencing similar problems you can take a look at the working code bellow and compare it to the initial code. I've included detail comments on every line I have changed, modified or added.
    Good luck.. as I know it can become a complicated task when creating custom Spry menus.

  • Form2mail how do I set up the form to sent to a recipient selected from a drop-down menu?

    I am trying to configure dreamweaver form2mail to be able to send the information submitted to individual employees.  I would like the form to be set up where as you choose the recipient form a drop down menu and the only that recipient would receive the information collected on the form.  I can't seem to find any information on this.  I can only find info on sending to multiple recipients at the same time.  I only want the recipient that is selected to receive the form information.
    Alternatively, can anyone recommend a low cost or FREE form to mail system.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    Jim, That is exactly what I need.  I'm using Form2Mail the Dreamweaver extension for Adobe Dreamweaver.  It only gives me the option to send to one email address or cc to multiple not individual sends.
    Here is the html
    <form action="/HDWForm2Mail/Form2Mail.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1" accept-charset="iso-8859-1">
            <p>
              <label for="message"></label>
              <textarea name="message2" id="message" cols="50" rows="5"></textarea>
            </p>
            <table width="429">
              <tr>
                <td><strong>Recipient:</strong></td>
                <td><label for="recipient"></label>
                  <select name="recipient" id="recipient">
                    <option value="[email protected]">Mr. Person 1</option>
                    <option value="[email protected]">Mr. Person 2</option>
                    <option value="[email protected]">Mr. Person 3</option>
                  </select></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td><strong>Your Email Address:</strong></td>
                <td><label for="email"></label>
                  <input type="text" name="email" id="email" /></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>

                </strong></td>

  • Email form script with custom text field and drop-down menu?

    Hey, I'm building a website in iWeb - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19707357/Website/craftpackage.html
    And I was looking for a script that could possibly send an email to me with the info a user chooses from/puts in 1. dropdown menu 2. text field 3. another text field. I'd be awesome if the fields could have a custom background or a transparent background.The drop-down menu could have any background, but it would be awesome if it could be made with custom images !

    Basic question.
    What have you yourself done to find out?
    Nothing?
    Start here :
    http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+mail+form
    http://www.google.com/search?q=dropdown+menu+with+transparent+background
    Unfortunately, it has no dropdown menu :
    http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/01/entry_301.html
    Btw, dropdown menus in forms at select menus. These are not the same.
    http://www.google.com/search?q=select+menu+form
    http://http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp
    So start practicing and once everything works the way it should, display it in a html snippet.
