Hi, Mail is driving me crazy by grouping received messages together by subject. I want each message, irrespective of subject, to appear stand-alone on a line of my mailbox. My old Mail did this automatically. How do I get back to old ways! Thanks...Rick

The new Mail is driving me crazy by grouping messages together according to subject. My old Mail, under OSX 10.5, listed each message independently in my Mailbox by date received. One line in my Mailbox for each message. How do I get this way of posting messages back again? Thanks.

So nice of you be so responsive. Thank you. Unfortunately, something is just not right even though I pretty much always keep my Macs in good health. When I move that folder (~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail) and let it create a new one, Mail stops remembering ANY preferences. I can move and resize my windows and change my Prefs, but when I quit and relaunch Mail it goes back to some default state with none of my changes honored. Furthermore, when I search for the string "DisplayInThreadedMode" with BBEdit within that folder and all its subfolders, nothing is found.
Maybe it has to do with how many things I disable on the recent OS X versions. I routinely disable Spotlight, Notification Center, Dashboard, Auto-Save & Versions, Gatekeeper, Automatic App Termination.... you know, all that stuff that I never asked for and don't need/want ;-)
Maybe I could try re-enabling Auto-Save or something. Still, no other apps ever seem to behave strangely when I set all these "hidden preferences" to disable these unwanted OS features. Who knows, maybe the Mail team (programmers) just started assuming something was available which they didn't used to assume in 10.8.

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

I used to have this and now I don't have this anymore: whenever I used to type in subject lines in my emails, it would auto complete the subject of the email based on prior emails sent out. It no longer does this. How can I get this feature back?

I have tried to find out how to change this in internet settings and by going to the tool menu and can find nothing.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I tries to upgrade from 3.6.10 to 4.0 and a message appears stating that it can be opened on this server how do I get back to 3.6.10 your web site says I am running 3.6.10 but I don't know where to find that Icon

How do I find 3.6.10 in my computer with all my favorites etc

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xuab2q88.default is the location of the cache folder for your default profile. If the updates folder isn't there then it looks that Firefox hasn't downloaded an update.
You can download the full version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Delete the Firefox program folder: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
That will remove all Firefox program files in case some are locked or protected by security software. 
That should allow you to install a full version of Firefox 3.6.10
Your Firefox profile data is stored elsewhere and won't be affected.

Now that I've upgraded to Lion, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse it acts as if I've right clicked. How do I get back to the way it was?!

I am working on two macbooks and an imac. I upgraded all the software last weekend and am now running all three computers on Lion. Over the last week, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse (whether it be the "pad" mouse on the macbooks or the standard mouse on my imac) it acts as thought I've right-clicked. How do I stop this insanity?! I want my old no-right-click mouses back!
Thank you for any guidance!

Try this,
Go to to the Trackpad System Preference and look at the Point and Click tab.
Uncheck the box that says "Tap to Click"
I found my track pad to be way too sensitive and I was finding myself in web pages I did not choose to go to. Unchecking that box will make it so you have to press the track pad to make it click something as opposed to just tapping it. It is more effort but also less sensitive to random taps.

Select any package that you want to install in the Finder and select "File > Get Info" from the main menu bar.
Then disclose the "Open with" brick and set it to "Installer.app".
Press the "Change all" button, to open all installer packages with the Installer.app.
You may need to unlock the padlock in the lower right corner of the "Get Info" panel and to enter your admin password to do that.

After I open and read an email how do I get back to email. I am closing the open email then having to go back to the home screen and then reopen the mail app. There has to be a better way.

After I open and read an email using my mail app, how do I get back to the email app to open an read others. I am closing the email open, going back to the home screen and reopening the mail app every time. There's got to be a better way to do this.

If you are using the iPad in portrait mode, swipe from left to right in order to bring up the preview window of your emails again.

I used to be able to use a close tab feature to go back to my original e-mail. I can't do that now. How do I get back?

If I open an e-mail that goes to another site, (Like You Tube), how do I get back to my original e-mail. I seem to have to go back to the opening of my entire e-mail site & that sucks. I definitely do not like Forefox 4. Having problems with crashing also. Hope you get this figured out.

I just bought a new iMac and when transferring the contents of my previous mac the mail folders were all empty. How do I get back my saved emails?

I just bought a new iMac with OS X Mavericks, and when I transferred my data from my old iMac with Snow Leopard, all my mailboxes appeared, but they were empty. How can I get back my saved emails?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

E mail has stopped working, how do I get e mail again

My e mail has stopped working, how do I get it working again

Well, the most obvious possibility is that the email server is down. Or that they changed the server address. You should check with your ISP. After that review the email settings. Have you upgraded the phone recently?
Does this occur on both cellular data and WiFi? On WiFi, does it work on your home network (assuming you have one)? What about other WiFi networks?

When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.
