How can I prevent Mail from Getting Messages Automatically?
I want to stop Apple Mail from getting new messages until I click on the "Get Mail" button.
This is proving hard to achieve.
In Mail Preferences, I have set Check for New Messages to "Manually."
This does nothing.
Additionally, I went to each account, went into the Advanced tab and unchecked "Include when automatically checking for new messages."
This also changed nothing.
This should be fairly easy to achieve, and yet it is not. Any thoughts on how I can set this up? I have one iCloud account, one Google Apps via IMAP account and one generic IMAP account. They all seem to ignore the settings for message fetching.
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Apple Mail version 8.2 (2070.6).
Mid-2011 iMac 21.5", 16GB Ram, 2.5 GHz Quad-Core i5.
Same issue since Mavericks.

How do I prevent Mail from downloading messages from IMAP?
I just set up Mail to use two of my email accounts for a very limited purpose that requires IMAP. As soon as it got the Gmail one created, Mail started downloading all 3,700 Gmail messages in my folders AND ARCHIVE. The x button did not stop the process. I don't want mail on my laptop hard drive. I set Preferences to "get mail ... manually" on both accounts. When I restarted Mail, it started downloading the rest of the 3,700 plus new stuff in the other account. How do I prevent Mail from ever downloading unless I tell it to? Email replies preferred because I am not in the habit of looking at discussions I've never seen before and hope never to see again. --John
<Email Edited By Host>This is what syncing is all about. It sounds like you deleted some mail while logged in on your phone. This deletes it from the server. When your Mac synced up with the server, it deleted the mail it had previously downloaded so it would be in sync with what was on the server. In the old days, assuming you really wanted that mail deleted, you would have had to manually delete it from every device. Now it does it automatically for you. Similarly, mail you send from your phone will also appear in the sent mail folder on your Mac; you don't have to check all your devices to find that message you sent last month.
If you haven't already emptied the email trash, you should be able to get those messages back. -
How can i prevent mail from downloading the same messages over and over again?
is there any way to prevent Mail from downloading the same messages over and over again? Mail has a minimum of "50 recent messages" to download, but i hate having to delete them every time i check for new mail! why doesn't the program remember if you have already downloaded a message, and suppress any subsequent downloads???
Same issue since Mavericks.

How can I prevent filter from getting applies to .html page?
Hi,
I have a MyFaces filter that I don't want applied to pages ending in ".html". However, upon visiting the "/myapp/index.html" page of my application, I get an internal server error, and the stack trace indicates that the filter is being invoked. How can I prevent such a filter from being applied to ".html" pages? The stack trace and the web.xml file are below.
Thanks, - Dave

Regarding,
At any way, you should map the ExtensionsFilter on the FacesServlet rather than on any url-pattern. Could you elaborate on what you mean? Maybe with an example?
Thanks, - Dave -
I use Mail to check multiple accounts. When I receive the same e-mail in multiple accounts, actions applied to an e-mail in one account often (though not always) affect duplicate messages in other accounts.
Example 1
Someone sends an e-mail to both me and my wife. Mail is set up to check both accounts. If I open the message in my Inbox, it marks it as read in my Inbox as well as in my wife's Inbox.
Example 2
For historical reasons, I have chosen to have all my e-mail forwarded (by the server) to a second account, to be used essentially as an un-touched archive of all incoming mail. If I manually move a message from my main account Inbox to another mailbox, the destination mailbox will end up with 2 copies, one from my main account Inbox and the other from the "un-touched archive" Inbox (which has obviously now been altered unintentionally).
Does anyone know of a way to prevent this behavior. I can manage my own duplicates. I don't want Mail to do it for me.
(Btw, I already have the "AlwaysShowDuplicates" option set using "defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates")There are certainly many ways of organizing things so that Mail never has to deal with multiple accounts and duplicate messages (separate user accounts, separate computers, separate mail clients, etc., etc). That's just not what I was asking. I'd like to know how to fix Mail's behavior when it does have to deal with multiple accounts and duplicate messages.
I was hoping there might be another hidden preference or something (and by the way my original post should have said "defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true", instead of the "defaults delete ...") -
How can I delete mail from my iPad
How can I prevent 'mail' from my MacPro Mail program from being exported to, and imported by my iPad?
Huh?? The mail application on your iPad is a mirror image of the mail server on your Mac. If you don't open a message on your Mac, it will be on your iPad unopened. If you open it on your Mac, it will appear as opened on you iPad and vice-ersa. If you delete it on your Mac, it will delete from your iPad and vice-versa. If this is not how you want your mail to work, I would recommend removing the mailbox from your iPad. Maybe I'm missing what you're trying to accomplish?

I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks
Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet." -
I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?
If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

How can I prevent Firefox from re-installing test pilot?
I had removed the test pilot extension and its feedback button in Firefox 4.0b9. I let Firefox upgrade itself to 4.0b10 and didn't notice that silently re-installed it.
I was typing in another application when suddenly that window was minimized and the focus shifted to a Firefox "new test pilot study" window that popped up. Even if I had given permission for that software to be installed, that is rude.
I am not willing to trust that if I disable this logging software that it will stay disabled the next time I upgrade. I will remove test pilot again. '''How can I prevent Firefox from re-installing it?'''
One way might be to set extensions.rdf read-only. However, I do not wish to lose the ability to install add-ons, I merely do not want anybody (including Mozilla) to install an add-on without my permission.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519357 doesn't seem to address this problem as test pilot is a known component. Its not a plug-in so I can't modify the plugin scanning settings to prevent it from being loaded. Is there some way I can reliably supplement http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ with a local block list file? If so, would I have to update that whenever a new version of test Pilot is released?
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Add-ons%20blocklistI'm not sure what you mean by "re-directs e-mails." Are the recipient addresses changing between the time you address the message and the time it is sent?
If you could provide more information I think that would help in tracking this down.
When you use Firefox to work with your webmail site, whether Yahoo! or Gmail or another, the mechanics of sending the mail are handled by the site itself. So if there is a problem with how messages are addressed, then you may need to check your Yahoo! mail settings. -

How can I prevent Bridge from altering my photos?
HELP!!!
Within the past few days my Bridge CS4 program has been making my life miserable. I had been utilizing the program to batch photos from my extensive photo library, rename them, sort them (i.e., change sort/ordinal number), and the like without any difficulty and then suddenly, after executing such processes my thumbnails turned completely white and would not open in Bridge, Photoshop CS4 Extended - much less anything else. I tried reopening them as .jpg's, .psd's, .tiff's to no avail. I went into properties on each photo and checked the "open with" tab, and it noted that the photo was not recognized. I had some moderate success opening them with Quicktime Picture Viewer, but converting them back to a Bridge readable format (i.e., their original state) proved impossible. Having noticed that Quicktime had hijacked nearly my entire photo opening process, I uninstalled it in the hope that it would solve the problem. It didn't. I then went into Bridge and Photoshop CS4 preferences to try and modify how photos were opened, and couldn't seem to find anything applicable. I did, however, increase the memory and cache allocated to each program substantially.
Last night I ran into more problems with Bridge. While scanning both photo negatives and prints into Bridge and saving them into various files, I encountered the same problem indicated in paragraph one. I tried scanning several of them a second time and succeeded; however, I had to save them to a different file and give them dissimilar names in .tiff format. In the process I found more than a dozen ways to spell "Mexico," "Tokyo," and "Ukraine"! They would not save as .jpg's or .psd's.
I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, have a Pentium 4 Dual Core (2.8) processor, 4 GB Memory, Nvidia GE Force 7600 video card (yes, the drivers are up to date), and Hewlett Packard Photosmart C7180 and C7280 printers for scanning. All of the photos involved are stored on a Maxtor One Touch 1TB Turbo auxillary hard drive.
Also, could anyone suggest how I can get the SD/MMC card reader on my PC to work?
Thanks to any and all for assisting me with my problem.
Wolfgang Holst
Big Bear Lake, CAThank you curt y for your quick response. I have seen your recommendations on the adobe forums link in the past and many of your solutions
seem to have helped other people with Bridge problems. I took your suggestion and gave it a whirl - all preferences were restored to defaults - and the problem continues. I get the feeling the problems lies with the program's interaction with Windows.
Having tried a few more things, I've found that I can move the photo shell (the inscription underneath the thumbnail states, "Window Shell Common") to my desktop and open it there with Photoshop (i.e., going through the song and dance of "open with" and clicking on the CS4 icon, where it opens up in RAW). I must then move it over to Photoshop CS4 and save it as a .jpg or a .psd. Unfortunately, after all this it still won't open in Bridge. By all appearances, Bridge somehow has become corrupted and I'm probably going to have to do a complete Photoshop CS4 uninstall and reinstall.
I've spent hundreds - if not thousands - of hours scanning into my system some 10,000 photographs of my travels (yes, they are backed up on discs), and Bridge should not be negatively impacting my ability to organize and manipulation them as is happening now. If the uninstall/reinstall does not resolve the problem, I'll be back on this forum for more suggestions.
As for the card reader issue, I'm well aware of the 2GB/over 2GB issue. I typically use a 4GB or more card in my camera. I can download fine through my HP 7180 and 7280 card readers, but my HP 1518n card reader is a different story. I'll work a little more on it, too.
Thanks again.

Subject: How can I prevent Bridge from altering my photos?
Have you tried resetting your preferences by holding down the Ctrl key and starting Bridge? You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.
The only thing I know about card readers is that there are 2 versions. One for cards of 2 gigs or less, and one for HD cards over 2 gigs. Make sure card and reader match.

How do I prevent Mail from automatically sending iCal acceptances?
I am using Apple Mail 4.6 on Snow Leopard. I have multiple email accounts in Mail (personal, work, etc.) When I accept an iCal invitation, Mail automatically sends the email response without allowing me to review the email contents or the "From" address. This can lead to embarrassing situations if the email is sent from my personal account. Very uncool.
The only workaround I have found is to make my work account the "default" account by dragging it to the top of my account list. But this isn't foolproof as Mail apparently uses the address of any currently selected Inbox or message as the From address, so I have to make sure to deselect any messages in Mail before I click "Accept" in iCal. But now if I receive an invitation to my personal calendar, my acceptance will be sent from my work address. Also not cool.
Is there a better, more reliable way to control the "From" address in an iCal acceptance?
Or can I prevent Mail from sending this acceptance email automatically? Ideally, I would like Mail to put an unsent iCal acceptance in Drafts or Outbox so I can review and edit the message before sending. But the Drafts and Outbox mailboxes seem to be just chimera, always disappearing. (In fact, I tried creating and sending a message while offline and it just disappeared. Didn't even go to Drafts. When I went back online, the message went "swoosh" from some unknown location. Not very smart design, Apple.)It looks like the only way to address this problem is by using this 3rd party software:

Does anyone know of an Apple-native solution? -
How do I prevent Mail from opening when I click an email address in Safari?
My wife and I both use Yahoo! Mail. Neither of us uses the Mail app to manage our email. How do I prevent Mail from opening when we click an email address in Safari? Is it possible to direct Safari to open a separate web browser prompting us to log in to our Yahoo! Mail?
Hmm.. probably not.
You want to open Mail. Then go into Preferences > General and you will see something similar to this:
In the area marked Default Mail reader click on the pull down and at the bottom of the list it will say Other. You can see if you can select Safari here and if that will open up Safari.
Good luck. -

My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV. Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it?
How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?Did you try Parental Controls?
Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.
