How do I stop maverick mail from indenting when I forward

I love my Mac. However, I am having learning curve issues converting from MS Outlook to Mac Mail. When I forward mails older emails in the chain become indented and are identified by a colored line in the left margin. I am not a fan. How to I stop this so that all mail going to the left margin with no colored lines?

Hi jackattack2003,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can change this behavior by going to Preferences in the main Mail menu (to the right of the Apple icon.)
From there, choose "Composing" and un-check the setting for "Increase quote level":
Increase quote level
Indent the text of the original message that is included when you reply to or forward a message.
See this article for an explanation of the other settings in this panel:

  • How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

    How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails?  Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink.  Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

    There is no such option/setting on an iPhone to determine this. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.

    Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

    One thing to check:  when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

  • How can I stop apple mail from autosaving drafts?

    Hello all,
    I have finally got myself a new computer and been immersed in the "new" way- my old mac was a bit like a volkswagen beetle, old and cranky but very efficient.
    This new interlaced madness is proving to be very confusing on many levels but here I will state one problem I am seeking a solution to:
    Apple mail autosaves  a copy of my email reply drafts every 30 seconds in my apple mail draft folder. - This means many copies are saved!!!
    How do I stop this?
    The reason I ask this is for the following reasons:
    1- If I don't send my reply after 30 seconds I have to manually delete the drafts.- I didn't know this until I was doing a little organising and have realised that I have quite a few drafts of the same message lying around in my google on mac (imap) "all mail" folder and these end up taking alot of space.
    2- These then get transfered to my google mail "all mail" folder and end up taking up more space.
    3- Manually deleting things from my google on mac "all mail" account is a pain in the *** because I need to delete it into the googletrash on mac and not any other deleting area. (unless I do it directly from gmail) I didn't know this until I had a read through google- the "all mail" archive is another pain in the ***.
    I was deleting these messages from my mac "all mail" mailbox and they just magically reappeared into the same "all mail" mailbox, meaning they are downloaded from the server continually- I hate to think how much more that adds to data roaming.
    Possible solutions I have tried out:
    1- uncheck the "save draft on server" box in mail;preferences;mailbox behaviour (and saving it) - I did this and tried to write a message and there it appeared as each 30 seconds passed
    2- change the mac mailbox behaviour settings to gmail Imap settings for apple mail and save these- as above, I wrote a message and it still appeared in my drafts folder, new, message appearing every 30 seconds.
    3- uncheck the "use idle command if server suppors it"  box in mail;preferences; accounts;advanced (as someone mentions in another forum) and the message still autosaves.
    HELP!
    1. This seems to be common with most people
    2. I am using gmail and IMAP on mac book pro 2012 10.7.4, lion
    3. This never happened with my volkswagen which was also a mac but from 2006
    4. Some people say this is Imap related. I have only noticed it with this apple mail and have read it has been happening to people since 2008.
    5. Look forward to new solutions

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

  • How to to stop iPad mail from deleting email from server?

    iPad 64 / Custom mail
    When I delete a mail from my iPad inbox, it is also deleted from my server. How do I configure
    To stop this?
    In other words, I like previewing my incoming email on my iPod, and I want to be able to keep my iPad email in box tidy by deleting from my inbox without deleting from my server?
    Thanks for your hep, IM

    Then you are both talking rubbish. IMAP is designed for multiple client access to the same inbox, and requires either POP3 collection, or explicit deletion from the server, to remove an email.
    IMAP deletion should NEVER delete from the server, if you choose not to do so. I have a netbook and a desktop PC using the same inbox. The Netbook uses IMAP, the desktop PC uses POP3. I can delete a message from the Netbook, and it leaves the email on the server, for the desktop PC to collect via POP3.
    From Wikipedia "E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them."
    The way the iPad is handling it, is wrong... but then again, this is Apple we're talking about. They will no doubt patent this incorrect behaviour, and market it as a "new invention".

  • How do I stop e-mails from the photoshop lightroom forum?

    How do I stop receiving e-mails from the photoshop lightroom forum?

    You can turn on and off email notifications for a given thread, in the right-hand column, when viewing that thread (while logged in).
    If you view your profile page (while logged in) there's a "Manage email notifications" link at the top right, which takes you to a list of all threads you are "watching" one way or another. There's a column of checkboxes at the end - and a header checkbox which fills or clears the checkboxes against all entries. At the bottom of the list is a button to remove email notifications across all the current highlighted items.
    There are also settings for general (auto) email notification, in the user profile / edit preferences / Email notification preferences. For example, you can choose whether or not to auto-subscribe for notification, with future threads you may start.

    When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

    It looks like your password is stored in the password manager.
