Force Mail to send with Maildrop?

Hi guys,
I am using Mail to send messages with attachments. Once those are really large (>100 Mbyte), Mail automatically uses MailDrop to upload those to iCloud, so that the recipient can easily download it independent from its mailserver limits.
Is there a way to force Mail to use MailDrop also for small attachments (e.g. 5, 10 Mbyte)? Because there are still many mail servers who have really small file size limits.
Thanks in advance!

First thing to try: go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck 'Mail' in the list there. Then re-check it. Give it time to settle in. Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts (not 'Accounts' in the 'Mail' menu) and select your iCloud account. You should see this:
'Email address' (greyed out) is your login - this should be your @me.com address. The 'Alias' drop-down menu should both versions of your address - @me.com and @icloud.com/ - plus any aliases you have set up.
(the image is from Mavericks, I would expect Yosemite to be much the same).
If this hasn't worked, try clicking the Sign Out button in System Preferences>iCloud. It wouldn't hurt to reboot; then sign back in again. Your iCloud synced data will disappear when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in (give it time).

How can I force Mail to send email requesting a server DSN?

I would like mail to send every message with a server DSN request (the RFC1891 type). I found "tech savvy" info on this archived thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1965944?start=0&tstart=0
But, I am not a technical person, so, how can I get mail to do this in practise? Or would there be a utility/add-on/plug-in that allows for this?

How can I get my e-mail to send with EDGE?

My iPhone works great at sending and receiving e-mails when I am connected to wi-fi. But as soon as I switch over to EDGE, all that I am able to do is receive the e-mails (VERY slowly, I might add...) I am completely unable to send an e-mail until I am able to re-connect to a wi-fi network.
I had a sidekick 3 before switching to the iPhone and it always worked beautifully, so I'm not quite sure why I'm having problems with this phone.
I might also add that I have a Comcast POP3 address. I imported all of the settings directly from my computer when I first synced the phone. Thanks for any help!

gjortega,
Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
This article discusses the issue in more detail:

Apple Mail not sending with the selected from address

I have Apple Mail 6.2 on a MacBook Pro with ML 10.8.2.
I have sever email accounts set up.
I cannot get Apple Mail to properly use a given accout in the from.
No matter what from account I what Apple mail to be from, the received email shows one of the other not selected accounts.
So this means that the reciever replies to the wron & not intentded address.
Example:
I do an email in the [email protected] account & select [email protected] as the from address.
The reciever will see the email from another address in Apple mail like [email protected] that I did not select.
How do I get the Apple mail from email address to be the one I want the reciever to reply to?

By associating each account with the correct smtp server.
You have 2 gmail accounts, so 2 gmail smtp connectors, set them correctly.

How can I force Mail to ask me to choose outgoing server each time I send an email?

I work for 3 different companies and I have 3 different mail accounts in my Mail for each of them. It happens to me very often that my email is sent from the wrong account, causing me a lot of trouble. This is of course my human mistake, but I want to limit this and would like to know if there is an option to force Mail to ask me for mail server each time I send an email?

Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Account/Account Information - try checking use only this server.
If that doesn't work properly, select the server, click Edit SMTP Server List and set up the server with your e-mail address so each one is named differently. Test.

I have a iMac destop 10.6.2 and use the AOL Mail web site with your Firefox Browser. It has worked great for years. I update the firefox to 6.1 and now I cannot send images using the Firefox browser. With Safari browser it works fine.

I use AOL mail - http://www.aol.com/ with my Firefox 6.1 browser. Before updating aol mail worked great with firefox for years. Now when I try to send ( upload) messages with a file or images I always get the reading " there was a technical problem and I should try again". Messages with NO files or images go through just fine. I have cleared the Firefox history, the cache and cookies and the problem remained the same. The question is does this problem have something to do with the latest update ? AOL are still only familar with the 3.6 Firefox versions. Thanks

Well I guess I was too optimistic. Since last posting I have had three hang events, one during reboot. When the login dialog box came up I clicked on it and it hung.
However I do have a new data point. I have enabled the remote login (sshd). I have discovered that when the system hangs like I described above, I can still log in via SSH from my Windows system. The shell appears normal, but when I tried a "killall Safari" command the OS crashed hard. After a hard reset, the system hung during the login process. Again I could login remotely, and that time I executed a "sudo reboot" via the remote session. That cleared the display to all-blue but did not successfully reboot.
Can anyone suggest what to try via the remote login to help diagnose what is happening? I am familiar with typical Linux architecture but the differences in Mac OS X are leaving me a bit disoriented.

For FaceTime, can you add an additional e-mail that is not your Apple ID e-mail? Everytime I try to do this on my iPad it sends me a verification e-mail saying I am trying to change the e-mail address associated with my apple ID and wants me to verify.

I am trying to add another e-mail address to FaceTime, but do not want to change the e-mail address associated with my Apple ID. Everytime I try to add the e-mail address in my FaceTime settings, it send me a verification e-mail asking me to verify that I want to change to this new e-mail address for my apple ID. I do not. I just want to have an additional e-mail address for people to contact me via FaceTime. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can have multiple addresses associated with your apple id. You will have to verify any changes before they can be added and this is done by sending you an email. This is to protect you from someone else makeing changes to your account.
You can make any changes and view all your info here:

Sending mail from servers with non-ASCII names

As part of an effort to internationalize our product we're testing on machines with host names that include non-ASCII characters (accented e's and whatnot). When trying to send mail from these machines we're getting:
javax.mail.MessagingException: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueCommand(SMTPTransport.java:1634)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.helo(SMTPTransport.java:1068)

at msgsendsample.main(msgsendsample.java:86)
Looking at a network trace I see the EHLO command being sent as
EHLO test[0xe9][0xdf]\r\n
where the machine name is testéß. From a Unicode table 0xe9 0xdf = é ß.
I found a reference from RFC 5336 (SMTP Extension for Internationalized Email Addresses) that says the hostname in the EHLO must be in the form of ACE (ASCII-compatible encoding) labels:
3.7.1. The Initial SMTP Exchange
When an SMTP connection is opened, the server normally sends a
"greeting" response consisting of the 220 response code and some
information. The client then sends the EHLO command. Since the
client cannot know whether the server supports UTF8SMTP until after
it receives the response from EHLO, any domain names that appear in
this dialogue, or in responses to EHLO, MUST be in the hostname form,
i.e., internationalized ones MUST be in the form of ACE labels.
ACE encoding for my machine would be: java.net.IDN.toASCII("test4éß") --> "xn--testss-eva".
I'm not sure if this RFC applies in this case - I didn't know anything about the guts of SMTP until yesterday - but it makes sense that you'd need to escape the hostname in the EHLO until you can negotiate capabilities.
Looking at the JavaMail API it seems that if I were to call SMTPTransport.helo(String domain) myself without going through the higher-level Transport class that maybe I could work around the issue, but I haven't looked into it enough to know if that's feasible.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? I'm using JavaMail 1.4.2 on Windows 2003 and Exchange as my SMTP server.
thanks,
Eric

Same problem here (or at least in part). Some .mac folders did no longer show any messages, while they were there and could be seen online and with Thunderbird. After your remark I changed the name of a folder which contained a "´" and now it works. It is really strange because there is another folder with a "¨" in it which does not work (I will test if the name change works with this folder as well in a minute) whilst there is another one with such name which works fine. The update really messed up Mail and in Dutch we just use such characters so Mail without supporting them will be rather useless for me...

Hi, Dipankar:
Thanks for your reply. But I have no idea about how to group parameter from all uploaded file to "Send an E-Mail in Background with Attachment" CO?
For the situation, I write a background CO program to get all uploaded file (from first three block) and grouping this customized CO parameter with "Send an E-Mail in Background with Attachment" CO.

Mail Sending- with Unicode enabled text in the attachment

hi,
i have a specific requirement for JAPAN country. its as follows:
i am retrieving delivery details into my program & i need to send them as in a mail attachment(as CSV file) to particular mail id.
for sending mail, i am using the function module "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1".
here is my problem :
as this program will be used by JAPAN people, some of the delivery details are stored in Japanese (text like Customer name,street address etc..)
.so when i am trying to send it as attachment these japanese text is not appearing correctly in the mail attachment. its appearing as Junk characters.
i observed here the problem is may be because these Texts are not sending with UNICODE format. may be the default format is ASCII, which can not
interpret Japanese text properly.
so pl let me know is there any new function module where we can mention the Encoding format like UNICODE ?? or can i use the
same above mentioned function module with providing this UNICODE value somewhere....
regards
srikanth,Intelligroup.

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.

Mail from no sender with no topic and no message

For the past month or so I have been getting messages from no sender, with no subject line and no content.
Does anyone know what this is and how I can stop it?
Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
It's some problem outside of your control most likely, I've seen a few myself as well as other reports of this. I get a few mails not even addressed to me.
You can make a Rule that if From does not contain @, them move to trash.
Still, if you think it may be an issue on your end, this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
One other possibility... did you show long Headers, is there any info there?

I use the same e-mail account on my PC and ipad. Lately I have been getting an e-mail that says no sender with no content and a date of 1969. It shuts down some of my e-mails and goes away later. this does not occur on my PC

I keep getting on my e-mail a no sender with a date of 1969, wipes out my e-mails temporarily but doesn't happen on my PC?

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the iPad’s multitasking bar (I'm assuming that your iPad is on iOS 7) : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Mail app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
And do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
