How do I stop mail from automatically opening?

Just bought an iPad.  When I open mail, a message is already open.  I just want to see my inbox, no open mail.  Can I do this?

You can't.
You can delete mails from the reading list without seeing them beyond the preview....say you open your mail app and you have 20 new mails. The top one or maybe #21 will be open and displayed. In the list you can swipe across the mail, right to left, and delete it without opening it, but there'll always be one mail open. That's just how it works.

  • How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

    How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
    When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

  • How do I stop Safari from automatically opening when I start iTunes?

    A couple months ago, something very strange started happening.
    Every time I open iTunes, Safari starts up opened to this page:
    file:///Applications/OmniGraffle.app/Contents/Resources/ja.lproj/OmniGraffle%20H elp/index_Customizing.html
    It is an HTML page for "OmniGraffle Help," even though I have never installed OmniGraffle.
    Anyone know how this came to be and how I can prevent this from happening anymore? Thanks for any help.

  • How do I stop iMessage from automatically opening my conversation with a person when they message me?

    iMessage problem on my ipod. Whenever someone messages me on imessage and my ipod is locked it'll come up on my lock screen and even if I don't swipe the message, imessage automatically pops up and opens the conversation. How do I stop this?

    What do you mean it opens automatically? Do you have a passcode on your device?
    So if the phone is locked and you watch the screen as a message comes in, does it automatically (without any interaction) open the conversation or what?  Do you see the alert then it automatically opens without touching it?

  • How can I stop Mail from automatically archiving every incoming and outgoing email?

    Mail is automatically archiving every incoming and outgoing message, and then synch'ing that with my iPhone -- thus sucking up all available memory.  I have never asked it to automatically archive everything, and can't figure out how to stop it.  Any ideas?

    Launch Mail.
    Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced
    Uncheck the box beside "Include when automatically checking for new messages".
    Do it for all accounts if you want.
    Best.

  • How do i stop firefox from automatically opening a new tab when i type an address into the address bar?

    when i type a new address into the address bar and press enter, firefox automatically opens the site in a new tab. i want it to just open in the same tab.

    Every time Firefox opened

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically opening .wav files

    I recently arranged to have voicemails to a business number sent to me in the form of .wav files that I check at the end of the day from my home PC. I was disappointed to learn that when I open the email and double click the .wav file it automatically imports it to my music library in iTunes (also selecting to be synched). I am just trying to get these files to open in Quicktime. Any help?

    Can you tell me how? I am having the same issue, but I think mine is opening automatically whenever I download any new music files.

  • How do I stop Mail from automatically logging onto my email provider

    Prior to Mtn Lion, anytime Mail started it would prompt me for the password to log onto my email provider.  If I didn't want to check for new email I would cancel out.  That's no longer the case.  If I log onto a wi-fi connection, Mail automatically logs into my email provider and downloads new items.  The prompt for a password no longer appears.  I've gone into my Mail account and removed the password but that didn't help;  I've gone into keychain and checked for the existence of items for Mail and found none; and I've gone into Mail preferences to the Advanced tab and removed the check mark on "include when automatically checking for new messages."  I'm still getting new messages.  Once I log into my email provider, I don't mind the automatic send/receive from happening.  However, when I'm on an untrusted system, I would prefer to control the activity.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks for your help.
    Before shifting to manual updates I'd probably prevent Mail app from starting automatically and leave it down until I'm ready for mail activity.  Once I logon I don't mind the periodic updates.  However, I should be able to work offline.  This was the case when Notes and ToDo's were part of the Mail environment.

  • How do I stop Mail from automatically archiving?

    Mavericks Mail is autoarchiving my mail, sometimes marking it as read and archiving it before I even have had a chance to open the email.   I'm also not seeing email in my Mail application until hours after the mail is time stamped as received.

    I was finally able to figure this out on my iPhone (5s)
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > click the account you want to stop archiving > again click on the account itself > Advanced > It'll say MOVE DISCARDED MESSAGES INTO: > select trash instead of archive.
    All Done!
    This frustrated me for over a year, hope it helps others out!!!

  • How do I stop Firefox from automatically opening on startup since last update on Macintosh running Tiger?

    Firefox automatically starts itself on start-up every time. I don't want it to. If I want it on, I'll click on it. I don't go on the internet every single time I start up my computer and don't like having to WAIT for it to start up so I can quit it. I don't know why it does this - never did before - and it is EXTREMELY annoying! HELP! I'm on a Macintosh operating with Tiger OS.

    For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
    1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.
