How can I get Mail later than Mail 3.6?
I use Snow Leopard. When I check Mail i get an error message: You can't use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mail 3.6. I installed Snow Leopard and thought that would include later versions of Mail. How do I get updte versions of Mail?
Open it directly from the Applications folder. If you already are, use Pacifist to extract it from the Mac OS X 10.6 install disk.

How can I get Mail to capitalise the first letter of a sentence?
Hello all,
this is my first time using apple Support Community. i am a new apple user and have just got my first MacBookPro (its wonderful). however, i am having some difficulties.
How can i get Mail to capitalize the first letter of a sentence and also capitalize 'i' as 'I' automatically?
Also, how can i get apps like Pages to do the same? and for that matter typing into internet sites like this one? look at the lack of automatic punctuation!!
Thank you all for any advice and tips you may have.
Paul.I don't think whether it's easier or not is really an issue. The problem is that all of these wonderful technologies are taking away our understanding of how to communicate in writing. It's not a matter of being lazy and not "wanting" to do it, but rather getting to a point where many people "can't" do it.
I certainly wasn't pointing any fingers. I use a calculator (or computer if I happen to be on one at the time) to do the most basic math calculations. I can be out to lunch with co-workers and we have to pull out a calculator to split a bill 4 ways. I went through school at a time when calculators were not permitted. So, at one time, I could have easily done all of that stuff in my head. So far as math goes, my mind has turned to mush a long time ago. I doubt I could work my way through a long division problem at this point... even if I sat there and really tried.
Computers were not generally consumer items when I was growing up. So I didn't grow up in a world with spell checking. I have certainly grown to use it though and I'm sure my ability to spell properly has diminished somewhat because of it. I tend to be less careful when typing something out. If I'm not sure of the spelling on something, I just let my computer either fix it or give me a suggestion for the corrected spelling. Fortunately, I grew up having to rely on my own ability to spell, so with that foundation, I tend to do fairly well when it comes to spelling.
We're at a point now where systems can correct grammar and sentence structure. I think all of these are great tools to help us out, but they shouldn't be used to take the place of actually knowing how to do things. Having said that, I'm fairly sure that is exactly what will happen. Just as today, I rely almost entirely on some form of electronics for everyday math, I'm sure people growing up today with expert systems able to correct everything will rely on those equally. -
How can I get mail to address addressees by their first name, first?
I like it that Mail is integrated with Contacts. But when I type a name in the To: section, it is always shown as last name, first name. How can I get Mail to address my friends as Gary Smith, not Smith Gary??

How can I get Mail to 'forget' old email addresses?
Several work contacts have recently changed their email addresses, but when I type their names in the To: box in Mail, it brings up both the new and old addresses.
None of these email addresses are in my Address Book, Mail is obviously just picking them up from previous emails I have sent and received to/from these people.
How can I get Mail to 'forget' these old email addresses and just bring up the current ones?
(I have already accidentally sent emails to the old addresses because they are coming up in the drop-down menu. I would much prefer it to be idiot-proof and not bring the out of date addresses up at all) -

How can I get Mail for Exchange on my 6720 classic...
The manual says that Mail for Exchange is pre-installed. Yet, I cannot find it where the manual tells it's supposed to be. I updated to the latest fimware version a couple of months ago. So I cannot remember whether Mail for Exchange has been pre-installed before. At the OVi Store Mail for Exchange is not available for the 6720c.
How the heck can I get Mail for Exchange on my phone?The iWork apps for a Mac and for iOS devices are different, they are different operating systems.
If your iPad was activated after 1st September 2013 (and you are using the same account that was used to activate the iPad) then you should be able to download the apps for free in its App Store app. If it was activate before that date (or you are not using the same account) then you will need to pay to download the apps. -
How can I get mail not to save sent mail on iphone?
I use yahoo mail for my mail acct. In yahoo mail I have the sent mail folder turned off. I do not want to save my sent messages. This used to work on my Itouch but now with my new Iphone it is saving the sent messages. How can I get this to stop? I have been through all the settings and can't figure it out. You may email me at [email protected] Thanks for your help!
Not sure how this used to work on your iPod Touch since there is no setting for an email account preferences to not save sent messages. With an IMAP account, there is an option to store sent messages on the server, or locally on the iPhone. There is no do not save sent messages setting, and the same for the email account preferences with a POP account.

How can I get Mail to double-space text?
I've tried everything I can think of to get Mail to display text with double-spaced lines, ie, with blank lines between every line. (I need to do this to meet submission requirements for my work). BTW, I'm talking about a string of up to 60,000 characters including spaces, so some form of copy and paste is the only way I can see to go. I've tried: (1) pasting duble-spaced text created by Word in a .doc file into mail messages, (2) ditto by TextEdit in an .rtf file that displays and prints doble-spaced, but shows up in Mail single-spaced with things like centering misssing, too, (3) ditto by TextEdit in a .txt file that displays sngle-sapced. Everything shows up in Mail single-spaced, and I've never been able to find a way within Mail itself to format single-spaced text with space between the lines. Is this an intrinsic omission?
Why not just use a white fill for fields completed on a computer?

i recently bought the new iphone 5s and cannot use it becacuse i need to connect it too itunes version 11.1, However it wont let me download it because it says i have to download version 10.8.6 first but wont let me download that either so i have a brand new iphone that is useless because i cant download itunes on my macbook. how can i fix this?
10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) is an upgrade from Leopard, which you apparently have (10.5.8).
iTunes 11 requires 10.6.8 (not 10.8.6 as you have typed). If your Mac is an Intel one with at least 1Gb of RAM then you can buy Snow Leopard in the online Apple Store (type 'Snow Leopard' in the search box rather than browsing for it).
Once installed, download the combo updater to bring it up to 10.6.8:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
You will then be able to install iTunes 11. However if your Mac has a PPC processor you cannot install Snow Leopard and will be unable to proceed. To check this, choose 'About This Mac' from the Apple menu and look where it says 'Processor' - it needs to say 'Intel' for you to be able to upgrade. -
How can I get Mail to sync properly with Gmail?
I'm finally getting around to setting up my Mail account. I had used it waaaay back in '08, since then I have gotten thousands upon thousands of emails, when Mail opens up it thinks these are all messages I have not read and I have literally something like 3K unread messages (and counting) is there a way I can set it up to read my Gmail account the way it is so I don't have to go through deleting all of these?
One other question: I'd like to set up my work email as well, since right now its Outlook online and God how I hate Outlook Online any special settings to make this work?
Thanks!You have not clarified if you are using the POP method or IMAP. From what I can figure, you may be using POP method.
If you want mail synced across your devices, you need to set up all accounts as IMAP.
There are excellent blogs and articles out there, just type 'setting up IMAP on mac' or something similar in search engine. here is a good one http://oreilly.com/pub/a/mac/2002/05/21/imap.html
There will still be a one time sync process but the status of the messages will not be 'unread' by default as you say. -

How can I get Mail to show the correct cc: address?
Generally, I always set Apple Mail to cc: a copy of any message I send out to me in my regular user name. For some strange reason, since I upgraded to Mavericks last year, instead of migrating my name to the cc: line in any message I send, on one of my computers some other version of my name with my college graduating class at the end of it and many spaces between my first and last name appears in the cc: line instead. What has gone wrong in this particular computer, and where is it in the preferences or other low-level files that I can fix it? I try to remove the faulty address from my list, but it keeps coming back to haunt me when next I boot up my computer. I find the file in Contacts on that computer, but for some reason I cannot delete it. Any suggestions about how to fix this problem?
HI,
As far as I am aware Messages marks or time stamps an iMessage at the time of receipt rather then the time you got around to reading it.
I will admit that in most cases reading and receiving as the app opens will be near enough the same time in some conversations.
Adding Time Stamps to Chat is what iChat has always done particularly with AIM based Chats.
The "Sync" in Messages is "display on all devices" and after that each iMessages is dealth with separately on each device.
There is no syncing of deleting/dimssing an iMessages or having read it on another device.

How can I get Mail to delete emails?
My mail will not delete. How do I fix this? It just started tonight and I have no idea why or what to do about it. Thanks.
Are you getting an error message when you try to delete?
As a temporary measure, try holding down the Option key when you click on the trash bin.
Also, in the mail menu bar, go to Message, then Move to, then Trash. See if that works. -
How can I get Mail 2.1.3 to receive email from gmail?
I am not receiving any emails in Mail from anyone sending from a gmail account. They do show up on my Bellsouth server, but don't make it to my mailbox. Is there some setting or filter that I can activate to receive these messages in Mail, in Tiger? Thanks.
You will need to have a gmail account in Mail. Open Mail, open Preferences, click Accounts and check to see if you have already built a gmail account there. If not, do it. If it is already there, click Account Information, Mailbox Behaviors, and Advanced to make sure all is as it should be. Check especially Advanced, the three check boxes at the top.
