How can I get my email messages to open in one click with Mail app?

Hello,
How do I get my email messages to open with just one tap? On my newer Macbook I just click once on the Mail app and my messages open automatically but on the Powerbook it takes two clicks. Can this be fixed to just one click? I've gone into preferences but can't seem to change it.

Carolyn,
Thanks, I was wanting to just click once on a message and have it open right away and then be able to quickly go through my messages. I found the solution from another helpful Mac user. You just move the separator bar that divides your messages from the view pane and move it up and it works like a charm.

  • How can I get my emails back into my hotmail account from the Mail app

    Dear Apple support team
    I started using the Mail app some weeks ago because I apparently needed it, to be able to open an invitation for an iCloud shared photo folder. As soon as I registered my email into the Mail app all my emails from my hotmail account where deleted from the hotmail server. I really hope that this is possible to revert because if not, it'd be a catastrophe for me. I use that account from several devices for work, and I need those old emails in the server to be able to work again!
    I'd really appreciate any advice on this!
    Many thanks,
    Pier

    You can use the iPhoto Export feature to do that. Furthermore, it's the best way if you want to keep the quality of the pictures.
    To put the photos in the Pictures folder, first open iPhoto and then, select Edit menu (on the menu bar) > Select All. Finally, go to File menu > Export, and export your photos to the Pictures folder, so they will appear on all Time Machine backups you create since then

    Move your cursor way over to the right side of the window. There should be a thin bar. when you hover over the left side of the thin bar, the cursor will change to a vertical bar with an arrow sticking out the left. Click and drag to the left.

  • How do I get my emails to appear without having to click the mail button and then refresh it?

    In order to get my emails I have to refresh the page once I click on the mail folder.

    Go to Settings>Mail, Calendars, Contacts, then choose push in the primary window and in each email account's window.

  • How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

    For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
    I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

    You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

  • How can i get my email out of the file box icon?

    How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

    Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
    If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

    "Current browser"? When viewing anything, or just when using an APEX app?
    Ans .. Just when using apex app....even if the apex app is minimised ..The current browser will be the one where I am using apex app...
    What i am looking for some scheduler .. to check ..in the table every 5 minute for change if there is a change..then a popup alert be shown...
    Split it into [at least] 2 components, database and browser. I'd expect someone calling themself a "DBA Architect" to have some ideas about the database side of things, even if not clued up on JavaScript and AJAX?
    I dont think its a database isssue... When i say to check every 5 minutes ..it could be easily done via dbms_scheduler ...I am having issue in getting the popup alert message...
    in apex... Dont know wether there is a plugin like modal window(available from skill builder) which shall help in this scenario,.Or might be have to use java scripting and ajax ..
    and if it is that (Java scripting and Ajax) .....then shall have to be familiar with java scripting and Ajax...and this shall be a bit time consuming..
    Had a feeling this could be accomplished via java scripting and ajax.. ...but still looking for some easy way..

    The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

    I want to email photos on a different email system, gmail. How can I get the email icon of iphoto to put my photo on a gmail email?

    If you have Mail setup a a client for your Gmail account set iPhoto to use Mail.  Then select one of Mail's stationary templates for photos and use it. May not be as good as the iPhoto templates but will be fancier than a plain email window.

    When you've got them reset you will then be able to add a rescue email address for potential future use
