How do I change incoming mail settings in Snow Leopard Mail?

When I try to change the settings for my Mail app, in Snow Leopard, the incoming mail settings are greyed out.  What do I do to be able to change these?
(I had a problem, with my Mail account, which a consultant fixed for me on my laptop.  But I cannot remember what he did to access the incoming mail server preferences, and make the changes, because on my desktop these are still greyed out.)

use the mail setup wizard, head over to Mail Community, mobileme ended.

  • How to turn off hyperlinking of hostnames in Snow Leopard Mail

    I think this started after the 10.6.1 upgrade, but Mail is now transforming anything that looks like a hostname into a blue hyperlink. I realize this is probably a problem for very few people, but for me, who receives a lot of email containing syslog output, it's highly irritating. The hyperlinks are extremely distracting when trying to quickly scan through a bunch of syslogs.
    I don't know if this is due to a change in Mail, or in the URL handling framework. Does anyone know of a way to turn this off?

  • Iphoto 11 , How to save changes to photos, not saving -/ snow leopard

    Hi , after much ado then discovering the recent "fix" for Iphoto 11 I started using it today. I uploaded new photos , edited them and quickly discovered that Iphoto was NOT saving any of the changes I had made.There  is no longer a  "Done" button so I went back to again check the few  photos I had adjusted , Iphoto only saved changes for one out of 10 of  the photos I had adjusted.
    Is there a "save changes"  function I am missing here? Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    How are you exporting? If you select the photo and export (file menu ==> export) with kind = JPEG or current the edited version will be exported
    if that is not happening try renewing your preference file -
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Mail 4.2, snow leopard, mail without message content

    New MacBookPro owner running Mac OS 10.6.2. Migrated everything from older Powerbook Titanium without thinking that through. All of migrated mail AND even new mail comes in with headers but without the message content unless I elect to "rebuild" the mail box each time. Is this a setting issue or what am I doing wrong? I have numerous mail addresses all being managed by mail. No problem on Powerbook but irritating with Mac Book Pro. Help?

    rebuild your whole mail index. quit Mail and delete the file home directory/library/mail/envelope index. start mail and say yes when it asks to import your messages.

    To change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the top right and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • How do I change the DNS settings to BC but keep the MX setting for emails?

    How do I change the DNS settings to Business Catalyst but keep the MX settings for emails?
    I'm basically created anew site using Muse and want to host it on BC and upgraded to the Web basics + to allow for hosting of downloadable pdf's etc.
    There are up to 50+ emails address set up on the current set up and I want to just change the NDS settings for the domain to ponit to the new site/hosting an not have to worry about them chaning all the meail settings etc.
    Records do I need to change in BC?
    Thanks
    Iain

    Hi,
    You shouldn't need to do anything as long as you do not state hosting email with BC.  Just ensure to check you DNS in a lookup tool that it's still referencing your external email service.
    Otherwise you can set up external email set-up if the option is present.

    How do I change my flash settings? I said I wanted to be prompted about flash wanting to store things on my computer but the prompts are too frequent and annoying!

    New versions of Flash have a panel installed on your system for control of settings.
    In Windows XP, Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Flash Player, click on each tab and change the "Ask..." setting. Most likely your prompts are coming from the "Storage" tab. Using any of the "Block..." settings may make Flash inoperative on some sites.

  • How do i change my itunes settings from Australian to NZ ?

    How do i change my itunes settings from Australian to NZ ?

    If you are getting an 'account not in this country' message then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPhone and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select New Zealand.
    If you have moved to New Zealand and want to update your details then you might be able to update your billing address by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, or you can do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes. If you have a credit card on your account then it will need to have been issued by a New Zealand bank and be registered to your address there.
