Hide user picture in iPad mail client

Hi all,
I apologize in advance if this is a really simple question, but it's been getting on my nerves a whole lot lately. I must have configured my email ages ago to come with a user picture, and now I'd love to find a way to remove it. I just find the idea of sending my picture to anyone who accesses their email via iPad rather creepy. Here's a screenshot attachment so you can see what I am talking about.
Hope someone has the answer to this mystery!

By Hypertext you mean a hyperlink that is using text with the hyperlink underline rather than the http:// address itself? I don't think you can in mail, there might be a third party mail application that would allow you though.

How do I edit the email address that's set-up in my iPad Mail client? It's at iOS7

How do I edit the email address that's set-up in my iPad Mail Client Account? It's at iOS7 and the email address was entered incorrectly; this means the email doesn't work. There's an Edit button, which causes 3 horizontal lines to apperar at the end of the field, but does not seem to allow me to place the cursor in the field and correct the error. Unless I can correct this I'll have delete the account and start again so if anyone's able to tell me how to edit that address that would be briliant? Here's hoping................

Thanks mabaeyens; it IS the address entered in the email account, on the iPad, but sadly, as explained above, once you get to the Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account > tap in the wrong account > Email and then hit edit, the 3 horizontal lines appear at the end of the field but touching the screen within the text of the incorrect address doesn't make the cursor appear, so I can't edit! Very frustrating obviously. In the edit mode you can drag the field up and down the page but that's all............

Problem with iPad Mail Client

Most people have a normal mail server, meaning that when you login with your mail client, it starts up IMAP processes on your mail server to give you the email.
So ... I use my desktop, to login to read mail mostly. I use Thunderbird because it lets you control somethings that the Mail app on the Mac does not ... like the number of cached connections. In an enterprise context, both Apple's and Microsoft's mail clients are total pigs. They start up these IMAP connections and they never drop them, putting a huge load and creating tons of connections so that email users can check their email ever few minutes. This is a very poor design.
Thunderbird allows you to take the client offline so that those connections are cleared and the resources on the server are not monopolized, but Outlook Express and Mail do not ... at least as far as I can tell.
So ... when you check your mail you create these connections, and then when you check your mail from the your iPad, your double what you just probably have running from your desktop, or laptop, or whatever computer you normally use and are not at because you are using your iPad.
When you switch from the iPad Mail app to another app, it does not clear those connections, and it maintains the connection even if you are not using it.
Is there some way to configure this OFF, so that your mail is not maintaining these connections?
And ... don't tell me to go into
Settings
-> Mail/Contacts/Calendars
-> Fetch New Data (turn push off) (switch schedule to manual)
-> Advanced
-> <individual account>
->(switch to manual)
Which is by the way a very complex thing to do, remember, and configure ... but it does not work as far as I can tell.
Companies, at least many of them in an enterprise context need these things to not waste cycles and resources on their servers ... not to mention ISP's and websites don't like it either.
Why is it that a free mail client like Thunderbird can do better than both Apple and Microsoft at solving this problem ... though it is not completely solved by either?

Because most users have no idea what cached connections are. They just want it to work.
Perhaps you should submit a bug report to Apple

How to create a hyperlink in iPad mail client?

I've been searching for ways to add hyperlinks to my e-mail messages, but can't seem to find any help. Anyone know how to do this?

IPad mail client is sending draft emails without permission

On several occasions, my iPad has sent emails drafted on my gmail account when I never actually sent it. You can imagine how much this can suck if you've saved a sensitive email to work on later, only to find that it was already sent. Not only that, the app frequently mismatches recipient addresses with the wrong message in the draft folder in a random fashion. Another catastrophic disaster waiting to happen. If any of you know what is happening, I'd appreciate being enlightened. If this is a systemic issue, I'd say this qualifies as a major bug.
I believe this happens most when a message is saved more than once in the draft folder. There something unreliable in ehte way the app keeps track of emails.

Did you ever get this figured out? We are seeing a very similar issue using Outlook 2011 for Mac connected up to Exchange 2010. Sometimes emails get merged together on send where you end up with something like the subject and body of one email, but the To/CC line of another email. In each instance both emails that get merged together were originally saved as drafts and oftentimes drafts that have been created and modified a couple of times while going offline and then back online again before being sent.
We have not been able to reliably reproduce the issue or figure out exactly what was causing it. Posted something similar under the Outlook for Mac forum, but didn't get any hits.
Anyone able to figure out what was causing this or a fix?

Why use mail client over web site mail inteface?

Hello.
I had question to all emial client user's:
Why use mail client over web site mail inteface?
And I have one more question.
Is there any option to backup/compress your mail in mutt or thunderbird?

Do you use header caching? It can accelerate remote imap access, but is disabled by default. Also playing with imap_idle (yes, if server supports), imap_keepalive (low) and timeout (high) may produce nice results.
i've tried everything (always caching, and setting various imap_* options). trust me. it's funny, it wasn't bad at first, then one day i'd hit j/k and 3 seconds later the indicator would move... that's when i set up offlineimap.
I'm very happy with this maildir setup now . thanks anyway tho.
OMG, mutt is flying right now! Even with header and message cache is mutt + imap not the fastest. I reccomend offlineimap for everyone.

POP users cant see new mail on OSX 10.5 Server

Hi All,
I have just upgraded my 10.4 server to 10.5. I had to do a clean install due to some problems with the upgrade. My problem is, most of my POP3 users can not see any mail. The mail is being collected and can be accessed with the users login details via web mail. When the user login in using Outlook, it checks and finishes as if there is no new mail.
If the user reconfigures their mail client to IMAP is work just fine, but IMAP is not good for some of my users needs.
I found that there are no error messages at the user end, or on the server logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Hamish,
I have exactly the same problem with some POP3 users that use as mail client Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007. Up to now I don't have problem with Apple and Linux clients. I found out that users in which the alias differ from the shortname in the Open Directory record (which is the first shortname and mailbox identity) can't see the incoming Mail. For example, if the first shortname is user0001 and the alias is tony, I set [email protected] as the email address and user0001 as the User Name in the login information of Microsoft Outlook Configuration.
Thank you,
Tony Mendoza-Rosa

IPad Mail Creating Multiple Connections with Server

I am trying to connect with my iPad Mail Client via POP3 to an externally hosted e-mail server. My problem is that the iPad apparently is trying to enable multiple connections to the e-mail server and the protection on the server then bans my IP as a suspected DOS attack. How can the iPad client be adjusted to disable it from making multiple connections?
And, is anyone else having this problem?

I found the solution. Fetch is set automatically and that is my problem. Need to change it to manual

AOL Mail Client can't download pictures from Apple Mail?

Hey gang-
My sister and her family use the current Windows AOL email client to send and receive email. I sent them some JPEGs using Apple Mail, and I selected "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" before composing the message. Anyhow, they can see the pictures in the AOL mail client, but they don't seem to be able to download the JPEGs to disk. They say they've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's an issue with how Apple Mail sends the JPEGs?
I have no idea how the Windows AOL mail client works, but does anyone know of any general guidance I can give them?
Thanks!
Dave

Dave,
Travis has captured all the facets of the problem. I will only add that the surest way to send to AOL is to use Plain Text. This has always been the advice with Mail (i.e., not use RTF to AOL recipients) but additional factors have been added by Mail 2.0. Whenever RTF is used, along with attachments, and there is furthermore a mixture of fonts utilized, Mail converts to use HTML, and changes the status of files attached, even for users other than AOL. The most common sources of mixed font usage are from a Signature, or from text included in replying, or forwarding.
When sending to AOL users, continue to use Windows Friendly, but also use Plain Text. If you do not wish to set Plain Text as the default in Compose, then on these messages, click on Format in the Menu Bar, and choose Make Plain Text on an individual message.
Let us know if problems persist, despite this method.

TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

Read thier own support document on the subject then
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
That's how it works, and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again.. I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

If I install the Mail server on a Mac Mini as a server, can my users utilize Outlook as their mail client and how will it be different for them?

Your users can utilize Outlook no matter where your email is hosted at.
how will it be different for them
different from what?

I receive e-mail attachments " win mail.dat" from iPhones and iPads.All I can find is that Outlook users send these e-mails. I found "letter opener" and it helps but I'd rather receive jpeg in stead from my Apple friends

Last week I suddenly started receiving all e-mails with photo attachments from other iPad and iPhone users (on my iMac, iPhone as well as iPad!) as " winmail.dat" files. It says everywhere that that is caused by Outlook users sending RTF e-mails. Obviousely that is not the case here. I found an app to open the attachments, but of course that is no real solution. I asked Android and MS Outlook users to send me e-mails with JPEG attachments and the arrive aas they should.
Does anyone know the answer to this?

By the way, some non-delivery receipts (NDRs) are themselves spam messages with malicious attachments designed to infect your computer, so be cautious about opening any of those.
