How can I turn off Mail, it interrupts operation.

Every time i start a progrm or enter the web, Mail comes on and interrupts operation.  I am tired of always having to turn it off and would rather eliminate the program, but I have had no success.  How can I turn it off or better yet how can I eliminate the program?

If your referring to the Mail.app then you just dont have to have it running unless you want to check mail.   What do you mean by it interupts things?   I am using the mail app and when I get new mail the only thing is it puts a 1 in the dock icon.

  • How can I turn off Mail's Compose and Reply animations in fullscreen?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the animated opening of a "compose new mail" window when in fullscreen mode?
    I'm using Mail 6.5 under Mountain Lion.  When I'm in fullscreen mode and I either compose a new email, or reply to an email, the new mail window springs up from the bottom of the screen in an animated way.  I would prefer it to just appear.
    I was able to disable this animation when not in fullscreen mode by typing from a Terminal prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool TRUE
    However, I cannot find a way to disable it while I'm in fullscreen mode.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The only gesture that is stand is the two finger tap the goes to mission control.  You can turn that off in System Preferences > mouse.
    Also check the second column in System Preferences > Mission control > Show Desktop:
    Set to "-" as a secondary click here could cause the issue.

  • How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

    how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
    This is really driving me nuts.....
    Thanks

    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General. 
    Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
    2.     Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.”  You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
    From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I turn off the autocomplete/autofill function in Mail?

    How can I turn off the autocomplete / autofill function in Mail (Mail 7.2)? I know how to remove email addresses from the 'Previous recipient' list, but I simply want to deactivate the autocomplete function for email addresses entirely.
    You used to be able to do this via Mail - Preferences - Composing, but I upgraded to Mavericks today, and the option to deactivate the autocomplete funtion for email addresses is no longer there.
    Does anyone know where to find it?
    Thanks in advance for your feedback,
    Tine

    This is rather surprising.
    What you are describing is a feature called "word completion", provided by the Cocoa text engine, and hence used by apps which rely on it, including iWork, TextEdit, and others. When you are typing, or the insertion point is in a suitable position, pressing ⎋, or ⌥⎋, or F5 brings up the word completion list. Of course, it only works if there are suitable words in the list. For instance, if you type "Schad", intending to write "Schadenfreude", you can press ⎋ as much as you wish and nothing will come up. But type "Zeit" and then ⎋, and you'll get "Zeitgeist" sure enough.
    What is surprising is that you describe it as if you had just came across it, whereas it has been available for years (although I believe that originally it was activated only by ⌥⎋). iWork (including Keynote) is a little different, because, in addition to ⎋, ⌥⎋, and F5, word completion is also activated by ⌘⎋.
    I don't know how to turn off this feature, if indeed it can be turned off.
    Usually Escape would make me exit the text box
    Is there any chance you mis-remember? The Keynote shortcut for exiting text editing and selecting the text box is ⌘↩ (command-return).

    That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

  • How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?  - It's making me sick!

    How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?
    Can I do this through the terminal somehow?
    I have three monitors and the transition effect is giving me motion sickness.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid there does not appear to be anyway of turning off the sliding transition in spaces. There's no option to turn it off or to change it to another effect.
    I use spaces all the time as I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it's incredibly useful to have a screen dedicated to e-mail and IM and another for Safari and two other screens for applications. There's just not enough screen real estate for all those windows. I think Spaces is one of the most useful user features of Mac OS X.
    Maybe we should send in a feature request to Apple? I used to use some third party software to do the same before Spaces was released and it had a selection of transitions or none at all.
    Personally, I'm now used to the transitions but as I don't have multiple monitors perhaps I'm being spared the motion sickness!
    Good luck.

  • How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

    Dear Colleagues,
    I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
    My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
    The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
    Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
    Now we need to develop our own security module.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
    2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
    At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

    hi,
    1.You can write your own realm in 61 which can plugged for your security
    calls.
    2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic

    thanks

    There is no power switch. You cannot turn off your Apple TV. You can only put it in standby (sleep) mode. To power the unit off your only option is to pull the plug.

  • How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

    Howdy,
    I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
    See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference.  Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.
