Home key in mail.app

this is really frustrating
I can't figure out what key command to use to get a mailbox to the 'top'
the 'home' and 'end' keys don't work

If you are referring to the sub accts such as Jim, Joe, Jane within the Inbox, just drag and drop them within the Inbox. I don't believe you can change the order of the boxes themselves.

On my iPad home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new emails I had with a number in a red circle. This has vanished since I upgraded. Does anyone know why, and how to restore this?

On my IPad 2 home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new messages with a number in a red circle, next to the app. This has vanished, I think about the same time as when I upgraded to the new OS. Does anyone know why and how to restore this feature?

Thanks. While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
it out. Appreciate the quick response!

My Mail app sends me to home screen when I open it

Let me tell you what I have done after reading all of the threads on this forum about this issue.
• Closed the app mail and restarted it #RollEyes #duh
• Turning phone off and turning it back on
• Resetting Phone
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the Settings app), then re adding
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the settings app), then shutting down phone, then re adding
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the settings app), then resetting phone, then re adding
• Deleting all of my mail from the mail servers (using my computer) for the last two days, then "delete forever" all of that mail that I moved to the trash (my mail app stopped working today - so two days should cover it)
• Putting the phone in airplane mode
• Setting the phone to "data off"
I still get a mail app that "opens" then immediatly goes back to the home screen (the mail app is still "running" as I can see it when I double tap my home button to see the "running" apps)
I've been using apple products since I was 5 years old, family of electrical engineers, and I'm stumped. I love apple and the reason I've used their products is to avoid software malfunctions etc. . . I'm not gonna lie, it's gotten worse over the last few years with Apple's growing popularity. . .
Gonna need a solution as I use my mail for work on a daily basis
using iPhone 5S Champagne with latest software 7.0.4

Restore as new, THEN restore from the backup. It seems as if the Mail App is corrupted. Last Sunday this happened to me on my iPad (Mail app quitting, just like in your case). I restored as new, then reinstalled the backup. Luckily I had a backup (from the day before) which was backed up BEFORE the mail problem appeared.
If the above does not solve your problem, I suggest restoring as new and redownloading each app individually, and then transferring your photos from iPhoto on the Mac (or whataever photo app on Windows) and content independently.
If that does not solve your prblem, there might be a hardware problem.

Mail app is blank. I can not see any thing but a blank page with blue lined format. It does not shut down either. It just blinks out after a few seconds and the icon is there alone on my home screen then everything goes black and my home screen comes

MY Mail app does not respond in anyway to anything. The icon shows I have over 300 emails but I have no access to them. When I tap on the Mail icon a blank white page comes up with the blue format lines. No emails, no inbox, nothing, not a single letter of the alphabet is there. Within a few seconds it blinks out and I see the icon and my home screen. Soon it just blinks out to black. I am left with the icon at the bottom center of the screen. I have no way to shut it down. I have no access to the emails (300) in my inbox. All that is happening is my memory is getting filled up with emails. I would appreciate any solution to this problem barring deleting my email set up in settings.
if I have to resort to that I will, in the meantime I am hoping for a different resolution. Thanks everyone, you are all amazing and greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Diane.

Hey There Diane,
If I'm understanding your situation, you've got an iPad running iOS 6.1.3 and the Mail app is not working. I understand you don't want to remove and re-add your email account.
The first thing I would suggest is to make sure your iPad is backed up to iCloud or iTunes.
Do you have an iMAP or a POP email account? When you go online to your email service provider's website, are you able to access the 300 emails in your inbox?
Since the Mail app is part of your iOS operating system, upgrading that software to the latest version, which is 8.1.3 may resolve this issue.

How to use single key to color a message in Mail.app?

I would like to be able to color code a message's line in the main message summary window by pressing only a single key. In thunderbird, this is accomplished by pressing 1 to 5, each corresponding to a different color.
Mail.app allows coloring a message, to my knowledge, only by bringing up colors chooser and then selecting a color (by default in a inprecise color wheel).
How do a make "hot keys" for specific colors?
thanks

To answer my own question: Leopard and Mail.app don't suport this directly.
What works is using Fastscripts Lite to bind application-specific hot keys to some simple applescripts.
Here is one such script, modeled on an Apple sample script:
using terms from application "Mail"
tell application "Mail"
set selectedMessages to selection
set selectionCount to (count of selectedMessages)
repeat with messageNumber from 1 to selectionCount
set theMessage to item messageNumber of selectedMessages
set background color of theMessage to green
end repeat
end tell
end using terms from

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success. Can you help? Thanks.

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success. Can you help? Thanks

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

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.

How can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear

how can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear?

Hi-
This worked!. After updating to 7.0.6 a few days ago I was unable to delete apps. Called Apple support for help without success. I have NEVER entered a passcode to get in to restrictions so I know I didn't make this change (so I'm assuming that 7.0.6 did it for me). Apple wanted me to restore my iphone but thought I'd do more research first. Your advice solved the problem. THANKS!

If you are talking about multitasking, double tap the home button and swipe up on the app you want to remove. They look like pages now.

How do I close apps, before I tapped the home key, then deleted open apps, can't seem to do that with IOS 7

Mail.app and Airport home network

I have DSL connected from modem to Ethernet on my iMac desktop, and I share its Internet connection using the built-in Airport with Personal Web Sharing activated. I can use the Internet connection flawlessly by connecting my MacBook to the iMac home network. However, I can't receive or send e-mail with the Mac OS X Mail.app using the network connection. If I plug in the Ethernet cable from the modem directly to the MacBook, I have no problem with e-mail.
Is this situation normal? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I believe you must go to System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall on the computer that shares its Internet connection and enable the ports needed by Mail by clicking on the New button, choosing Other from the Port Name popup menu (so that you can name that setting however you wish), and specifying the port number(s) there.
Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list on each computer.

Home/End Keys in Mail

Hi,
why are the home and end keys in mail dont work?
They dont bring me to the beginning/end of a line.

Do you mean when writing an email? Try holding down the command key while pressing home or end.

Just noticed that when I close my mail app by double clicking the home button and swiping up it dies something weird. After doing this when I open my mail, instead of showing all my mailboxes it automatically opens one of them instead. Anyone know why?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

Hello queenbea4,
You may need to place a tick mark for "Include when automatically checking for new messages" under the Advanced pane of your iCloud account's settings in Mail's Preferences. This can be found by going to the Mail menu, then to Preferences. Under the Accounts tab, choose your iCloud account, then the Advanced tab to the right.
