How do I get mail on two computers using OSX 10.5

how do I get my Mail on both my computers. MacBook and iMac

You can choose to leave mail on your ISP's servers. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228
That way if you get mail on you MacBook, it's still available to get the same messages on your iMac.

  • How do i share files between two computers using the ethernet?

    i have bought a cord that is ethernet to ethernet. i do not understand how or where to go after the two computers are seemingly connected. i have a bunch of photos on iphoto id like to transfer. thank you.

    Out of curiosity do you already have a home network? If so do both computers connect to the network? In this case just use File Sharing which is enabled in the Sharing preferences.

  • How can I get Mail to capitalise the first letter of a sentence?

    Hello all,
    this is my first time using apple Support Community.  i am a new apple user and have just got my first MacBookPro (its wonderful).  however, i am having some difficulties. 
    How can i get Mail to capitalize the first letter of a sentence and also capitalize 'i' as 'I' automatically?
    Also, how can i get apps like Pages to do the same? and for that matter typing into internet sites like this one? look at the lack of automatic punctuation!!
    Thank you all for any advice and tips you may have. 
    Paul.

    I don't think whether it's easier or not is really an issue.  The problem is that all of these wonderful technologies are taking away our understanding of how to communicate in writing.  It's not a matter of being lazy and not "wanting" to do it, but rather getting to a point where many people "can't" do it.
    I certainly wasn't pointing any fingers.  I use a calculator (or computer if I happen to be on one at the time) to do the most basic math calculations.  I can be out to lunch with co-workers and we have to pull out a calculator to split a bill 4 ways.  I went through school at a time when calculators were not permitted.  So, at one time, I could have easily done all of that stuff in my head.  So far as math goes, my mind has turned to mush a long time ago.  I doubt I could work my way through a long division problem at this point... even if I sat there and really tried.
    Computers were not generally consumer items when I was growing up.  So I didn't grow up in a world with spell checking.  I have certainly grown to use it though and I'm sure my ability to spell properly has diminished somewhat because of it.  I tend to be less careful when typing something out.  If I'm not sure of the spelling on something, I just let my computer either fix it or give me a suggestion for the corrected spelling.  Fortunately, I grew up having to rely on my own ability to spell, so with that foundation, I tend to do fairly well when it comes to spelling.
    We're at a point now where systems can correct grammar and sentence structure.  I think all of these are great tools to help us out, but they shouldn't be used to take the place of actually knowing how to do things.  Having said that, I'm fairly sure that is exactly what will happen.  Just as today, I rely almost entirely on some form of electronics for everyday math, I'm sure people growing up today with expert systems able to correct everything will rely on those equally.

  • How can I get mail to address addressees by their first name, first?

    I like it that Mail is integrated with Contacts. But when I type a name in the To: section, it is always shown as last name, first name. How can I get Mail to address my friends as Gary Smith, not Smith Gary??

  • Problem syncing Mail between two computers

    I know this is a well worn topic and I've read the posts on syncing mail between two computers. Overall, I've gotten it to work pretty well. Whenever I move from one computer to another, I copy my ~/Library/Mail folder to my thumbdrive and sync it w/ the same folder on my other computer before I fire up Mail on it.
    But here's the problem: I rebuilt the "sent" mailbox on one of my computers (let's call it computer A). This apparently gives new message numbers to the messages. Things worked great on computer A after that.
    Then I synced the mailbox with my other computer, computer B. On computer B, the change in mailbox numbers apparently was not recognized. Every message in the "sent" folder gave me the message that I needed to go online and download the message. So I rebuilt the "sent" mailbox on computer B. Things then worked great.
    Then I synced back with computer A and the same thing happened. Every message in the sent folder gave me the "download from server message."
    It seems that I'm in some sort of infinite loop. The rebuild on one computer is not recognized by the other computer. Clearly, there is some file somewhere that contains info that's not being conveyed when I sync the ~/Library/Mail folder.
    Any suggestions??

    That is interesting. To that effect I have thrown together this Applescript:
    (CAUTION... do not run this script, experimental only!
    set flashDrive to "FLASH"
    tell application "System Events" to exists process "Mail.app"
    if the result is true then tell application "Mail" to quit
    -- copy files to mounted disk
    do shell script "rm -r /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/"
    do shell script "cp -r ~/Library/Mail /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/"
    do shell script "cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/"
    --copy files to userfolder
    do shell script "rm -r ~/Library/Mail"
    do shell script "cp -r /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail ~/Library/"
    do shell script "cp /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/com.apple.mail.plist ~/Library/Preferences/"
    Problem is, I don't know how to tell the script which version of mail data is older or newer. If you know of such a way let me know and I'll script it in, otherwise the user is stuck with manually choosing what to copy to where.
    And as we all know, any user choices are error-prone.

  • How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both?  I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

    How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both?  I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

    If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
    There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

  • How to fix the "Two computers using the same IP address" issue on the airport express

    I just bought an airport express and got dsl at my apartment, and I haven't been able to set up the wireless connection. My DSL works just fine but whenever I hook up the AX I get an error message saying that there are two computers using the same IP address on the network, but I only have one computer.
    I know this is probably a simple fix, but I've never had this issue when I set up the Extreme at my parents house and I haven't been able to find a thread on this.
    As of right now I have it set to Factory settings.
    Help please!

    This modem was designed to connect directly to a computer and you are trying to connect it to a router.
    Unfortunately, this is not a simple fix as both the modem and your AirPort Express will need to be configured differently to work together correctly.
    Connect the modem directly to your computer.
    Open up your browser and type the default IP address for the modem into the address bar. Check your documentation on the modem but it is likely 192.168.1.254
    That will bring up the configuration page for the modem.
    You may need to enter the modem access code which is on a label on the back or bottom of the device
    Look for an Advanced tab, then look for a tab labeled something like PPP Location
    Right now, you will see that "PPP is on the modem"
    Chance that to "PPP is on the computer or router"
    Click to save your new settings and the modem will restart
    If you ever need to get the modem back to its original settings, you will need to hold in the reset button on the back of the modem for 5-6 seconds and then enter in the default IP address to be able to access the settings on the modem
    Connect the modem to the AirPort Express with an Ethernet cable
    Open AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Continue to follow the guided setup to "Create a wireless network"
    You may be asked to "switch" networks when you do this. You want to switch
    Select the "Connect Using PPPoe" option when it appears
    Enter your user name and password with your provider. Leave the Service Name area blank. You want to always stay connected if you see that option
    Continue to follow the guided setup and Update to save settings
    Pull the power cord from the modem, wait a moment, then restart the modem
    Log on to the wireless network that you created during the setup and you should have an Internet connection

    How can I get Mail to stop automatically opening on startup of my MacBook Pro? It's not in my startup items folder. But it auto-opens every time I boot up

    In System Preferences / General make sure the Restore Windows ...... is unchecked.
    Also uncheck in the shutdown dialog box

  • How can I get Mail to 'forget' old email addresses?

    Several work contacts have recently changed their email addresses, but when I type their names in the To: box in Mail, it brings up both the new and old addresses.
    None of these email addresses are in my Address Book, Mail is obviously just picking them up from previous emails I have sent and received  to/from these people.
    How can I get Mail to 'forget' these old email addresses and just bring up the current ones?
    (I have already accidentally sent emails to the old addresses because they are coming up in the drop-down menu. I would much prefer it to be idiot-proof and not bring the out of date addresses up at all)

    How can I get back the two arrow icon of isync on my bar? I'm using OS X 10.8.2 . Thanks

    You can't. iSync has been discontinued since Mac OS 10.7 Lion. iSync has no connection with iCloud anyway.

  • When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    Hi!
    Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
    You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

  • How do you get mail out of the Outbox?

    How do you get mail out of the Outbox?  I've taken pictures and am trying to email them.  The emails are stuck in Outbox.

    Thanks Diggie, your response was very close.  I clicked on the email several times.  It came up and gave me the option to Send.  I clicked Send and my recipients received the email.
    I did not have to delete and reinstall my email account.
    Have a good day.
