Emails automatically opens when mail client is launched

When my wife launches her mail client, the emails in her inbox are opened automatically one after another. The only to stop it is to do a force quit. It does not happen on my mail client in my profile on the same computer.
Tried rebooting the iMac but it doesnt help.
Would appreciate any help I can get. thanks,
Venu

I temporarily fixed the problem by using a simple applescript that plays the notification sound if there are unread mails:
tell application "Mail" to if (count of (every message of inbox whose read status is false)) is greater than 0 then do shell script "afplay '/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/New Mail.aiff'"
but I hope that in the next update they will fix this strange bug.

This is probabaly caused by the resume feature. When you log out, uncheck the box that appears.

Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

How do you have a file automatically open in mail, like a Constant Contact email?

How do you have a file automatically open in mail, like a Constant Contact email?
Thanks,

If there is a way to automatically open an attached file in a Mail item, it is not one that I would use, because I want to stay in control of my Mac! Who is it from, whats in it and so on... To me bad idea but then the choice is yours.

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
Thanks!

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

Forms 6i, open default mail client and add attachment to message

Hi,
I would like to use some functionality in my forms application. I want call some action, that opens default mail client in windows platform and add some attachment to message. I want to do this for my reports. I am exporting reports to PDF files. I am using oracle forms / reports 6.0.8.12.1 version. And I cant use build-in PDF export functionality, because exported PDF files are in old PDF version and I have problem with Czech charakters. So I am using my own virtual PDF printer for printing reports. A now I would like to send report as mail attachment. I know that there is this functionality in report preview. When I click button with letter image (showed on screenshot at http://img20.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00067_screen_122_899lo.JPG) the default mail client is opened in this is created new messages with report (eps) in attachment.
That is what i need. Only open default mail client and add own attachment to message.
I found only one solution for Outlook, but I need open default mail client (for example Mozilla Thunderbird etc.)
Can You help me? Or send some solution how it is solved in report previewer?
Thank you.

Hi,
metalink Note 47498.1 "Programmatically Sending a Fax/Email via Microsoft Exchange" may be a good documentation for you. Have a look in there.

HT201342 Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?

Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?
You know , I am an OCD . I alway's close my Mail app and miss many important new emails .

What I do is open the Mail.app, then click the red traffic light (upper left corner of the main Mail.app window) to close that window. The app itself will remain running and you will get updates - this helps keep the desktop tidy while while the mail app remains running. When an update is received, simply click the either the mail icon in your dock or go to the Mail.app menu and click Window > Message Viewer.

How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

Hi, well as the title states:
How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
It's getting on my nerves...
Thanks.

This might also be helpful:
I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

Is there a way to have the thumbnail pane automatically open when opening a pdf file?

I'm using Adobe Reader X and I would like to have the thumbnail preview automatically open when opning a pdf file. I know there is a setting to remember view layouts but this is set for the currently open document and not in general. Thanks in advance,
Regards
Robert

A particular file can have this setting, so each time you open it you see the thumbnails. The bad news is:
- this would have to be changed per file
- this requires the Acrobat product, not just the free Reader.

IChat automatically opens when anyone sends me a message

iChat automatically opens when anyone sends me a message, even after I have quit out of iChat. How do I turn this off? I can't find any settings anywhere related to this.

Hi,
This is somewhat the default.
I take it that this is an AIM name (Or one that logs in to the AIM Servers) ?
The AIM Service includes Off-Line IMs
By default it is On in iChat.
If the AIM Server is not sure it has your Settings it will ask if you want to receive Off Line Messages in an alongside IM from AIMSysMessage that pops up at the same time.
If you say No your account at AIM has that setting made.
If you do say No and want to change it later you have to Sign In on the aIM Web Site and go to Your Account Settings and change it.
Same if you are not getting Prompted or said Yes and now don't want them.

I don't want Firefox to be my main browser or automatically open when I click on a link from my emails, how do I disable this?

When I click on a link from my emails it opens automatically through firefox. I want to disable this feature as I would like to go back to Chrome. I don't want to uninstall Firefox all together but I don't want it to be my main browser either.
Thank you

The only way to have such links not open Firefox is to set another browser the default browser.
That MozillaZine Knowledge Base article shows how to set another browser like IE as the default browser.
