How can I make Mail stop trying to open?

Please, please, please somebody help find a way to stop Mac Mail from trying to open even few minutes and when I log into my account. I spend more time trying to quit Mail (which isn't easy, btw) than doing anything else on my Mac!!!! I already started Mail and set the default Mail reader to something else. But it still doesn't help! Mail keep starting and popping up windows at me constantly all day long! Is it safe to trash the application? Or will that cause problems with the OS?
Thanks.

Sounds like the Resume feature...
On your Finder Go menu > go to folder and copy and paste
~/Library/Saved Application State/
Then find com.apple.mail.savedState and delete that file. This file may show as an alias, if it does then right click to "show original" and delete.
(note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
Let us know if that helps.

  • How can I make mail stop putting an address into spam mail

    Hi---There's one particular email address which keeps beig put into the spam folder of my inbox. Ive tried "adding address to book", resending the email, but still, every time I get an email from this particular address (who by the way is a friend!) it goes to spam. How can I tell mail not to consider this address spam? Thanks!

    Have you also done the obvious by marking the received message(s) as Not Junk and then moving the message(s) from the account's Junk mailbox to the account's Inbox mailbox?
    You should also consider using the Junk Mail reset feature and you can leave Junk Mail set to automatic when doing so.

  • On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automaticall crops off part of each end of the image.  How can I make it stop?

    On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automatically crops off part of each end of the image.  the thumbnail has a jagged, serrated edge at both ends.  How can I make it stop?

    Then I do not get your problem - you can import the photo - you can find the photo and you can edit and save the photo - what more do you want?
    By defination thumbnails are small images to help you find the large image - the large image is fine and you can find it fine - and you know it is only showing part of the image because of the "jagged ends"
    If you think think that iPhoto should display long thumbnails suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto Feedback
    as to your digital photoframe - contact them - in general gital photos frames display one and only one aspect ratio and any photo that is not in that aspect ratio will be modified to display - either cropped to the proper size for the frame or have 'White" space added to fill the frame - that function is totally controled by the Digital Photo frame and any otptions you have will be in the manual or on the support web site for the frame - to put it in old film terms - you can not put an 8x10 print in a 5x7 frame unless you cut the photo down (or a 8x15 photo in an 8x10 frame either)

  • When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
    Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

  • Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

    Just restored my iPhone 5  from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?  We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings.  I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

    Hi Big Slick,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Whenever I open the browser, the check plugins page always opens in a second tab. How can I make this stop?

    Whenever I open my browser, the check plugins page keeps opening, even after I have updated all of my plugins.
    How can I make this stop?

    That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed.<br />
    You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
    That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

  • Since updating to ios7 i can no longer partially download emails and this is using up all my data plan. How can I make Mail only be partially downloaded again?

    Since updating to ios7 i can no longer partially download emails and this is using up all my data plan. How can I make Mail only be partially downloaded again?

    YEA!  My jurryrig worked!  To all with this problem:
    You CAN have podcasts in a regular playlist IF you convert them to a standard MP3 first.  So, yes, a lot of manual labor
    The good news: if, like me, it is a track that you listen to frequently (in my case meditations for sleep and relaxation) then the time is worth it.  I will mess with automator later to see if there is anyway to script this!  Then, less work for me and more for my mac.
    Here are the steps:
    Select the file from your Podcast folder.
    Change all data you need -- "artist," "album" etc...
    Make a copy of the cover art for this file by dragging it to the desktop.
    Select the Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags menu item.
    Check ID3 tag version, and select "v1.0" from the drop-down menu.
    Drag the file to the desktop (this will make a copy of the MP3 on the desktop)
    Delete the file from the iTunes list.
    Drag the copy of the file you have on the Desktop back into iTunes.
    Search for the file in the Library, and add the cover art again to the file.
    Now the file is out of the Podcasts folder and works like a regular MP3 file inside iTunes. You can re-add it back to playlists!

  • How can I make mail retry sending messages in the Outbox?

    Howdy all,
    As the title says how can a force Mail to try to resend the messages in the outbox? I use my MacBook Pro in a number of different environments and when I am on one flakey access point in particular or when I have forgotten to open Safari to reauthorize recently on another network Mail will fail to contact the SMTP server. When this happens my message gets stuck in the outbox to be sent later. My problem is that I do not know how to get it out of there effectively.
    Once I have fixed the transitive error in the network (or or the problem fixes itself) how do I get the messages out of the inbox? At this point I can send more messages with no problem and they will happily go out but those in the queue just sit there.
    Now, I have tried a number of things like quitting and restarting Mail, bringing the various network interfaces back up and down, and other things to try to trick Mail into sending the queued messages but that has been haphazard at best. I can't help thinking that there is something obvious I am missing.
    Thanks for any help!

    Highlight the message in the inbox, double-click on it, and click on the "send" icon
    You may even consider BCCing yourself to see whether the message actually goes or not, and you just have an artifact copy stuck in your outbox that you could then just delete.
    Otherwise, copy&paste the stuck message body into a new message, and delete the stuck one out of the outbox before attempting to send the new one
