How to deselect "automatically set up account" in Mail?

I have a new Mac book Pro OS X v. 10.6.7 and I don't have the option to deselect "automatically set up account" when I set up a new account in Mail. I have therefore not the option to say which type of account I want: IMAP, POP, etc. On my old MacBook this option was available.
Does anyone have an idea how I can still deselect this option so I can choose the type of account I really wish to have?
Thank you for any tip

hello,
Changing from PC to Mac is a tough cookie! ...pfft...
Anyhow, I also have the same issue as described above, only that the so called "option" button does not appear on my screen. Result: i don't seem to be able to select this IMAP.
Any advice would be welcome (...have googled for some time, but also there: no clear indication on how to get around this issue)
best regards,
The Option Key
Is right .............here, in between control and command

Apple Mail: How can I automatically set a signature, depending on the sender (have several for one account), NOT on the account?
I have some comma-separated senders in my Apple Mail accounts, some for business, some for private (using the same account). When I'm sending a business mail, I would like to append my business signature, when I send a private one, either nothing, or a fun signature.

karenbee,
Here's the solution for PCs: Tools>Options, then click Sync in the Options window. Good luck.

How to deactivate automatic setting of final issue indicator in reservation

Our client has a requirement to deactivate the automatic setting of the final issue indicator after the reserved quantity on a reservation has been fulfilled.
The requirement comes from an overnight shift that does not have access to the SAP system, so the final issue indicator that is automatically set after the reserved quantity is fulfilled cannot be reset manually when the material is needed during the overnight shift.
I do not believe backflushing is an option because the material is issued to a cost center (orders are managed outside SAP) and thus there is no confirmation.
Is there a standard method for deactivating the automatic setting of the final issue indicator when the reserved quantity is reacched?
Thanks.

Please see my earlier comment that the overnight shift does not have access to SAP and therefore cannot manually reset the final issue indicator until the next day when someone with SAP access is present.
Obviously the goods issue could wait until the next day, but the client is not satisfied with waiting until the next day to post-process the goods issue.

How to add an additional email account in Mail?

Hi,
I set up my main 'Hotmail' email address in 'Mail' about a year ago but have never used the Mail App since. I now have a 2nd email address (university) and it is hosted through 'Exchange Labs' which is basically Hotmail/MSN I think. I cannot check my emails in each one without logging out and logging in whilst openinging and closing several web pages which is a nuisance.
I was told I could link these 2 accounts in Mail and would make life easier. However, I went to add an additional account and it's asking me for the server info - (mail.server.com) which I have no idea what Exchange Labs use. I looked at my settings for my Hotmail address and when I was setting it up I used my 'izymail' subscription to make it work. However when I go into Mail, it shows no new emails, or any of my old ones. I think i'll have to play around with it for a few hours before I figure out what's wrong but can anyone offer any advice?
How to link an 'Exchange Lab' email account or make sure my existing hotmail account is still linked properly?
Thanks in advance!

Unless Hotmail is required under EU law to provide their full service free of charge, you'd have to have a paid Hotmail account to be able to send and receive email with Mail.
As for the Exchange Labs, that's something your university is doing, so you'd need to call their student computing helpdesk for the settings to enter in Mail to setup your account for that. You can't link these two accounts, but you can have Mail send and receive messages through both accounts individually, assuming you meet the requirements and have them setup properly. It's not hard, you just need to get the necessary info from your university IT department, as well as have POP access to your Hotmail account, which they do charge for in the U.S.

Setting up accounts in Mail?

Has anyone set up their gmail account in mail? If so what should go in the incoming mail server field and outgoing mail server (STMP) field?

You use the appropriate domain names of your ISP's mail servers. For a .Mac account the incoming server is mail.mac.com and the outgoing server is smtp.mac.com. However, if you set up a .Mac account normally these are provided automatically by Mail.
If you don't know your ISP's mail servers and are unable to locate them on their web site, then call their tech support for assistance.

How do I add 2003 Exchange account to Mail using Snow Leopard

I have my Exchange 2003 account working on my iPhone perfectly. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and would like to add the account to Mail. When I go through the set-up it asks me different info than the iPhone did. I've tried several possibilities without success. Is Exchange 2003 functional with SL in Mail?

I believe Mail requires 2007, the same as the EWS version of Entourage.
Microsoft Exchange Server: Connectivity to Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (KB952580) or later version.
Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (KB952580) must be applied to both the Mailbox server and the Client Access server roles.

Unable to set up account in Mail

I have a problem with setting up a POP account in Mail. During the account setup Mail states there is a problem with the user name or password and refuses to work however I know both are correct.
The same account works fine on 2 other Macs running Mail with exactly the same settings.
And on the machine where Mail doesn't work I can telnet to port 110 and login into the POP account no problem. I can also set up Entrourage to work with the same account on the same machine.
And final point is that the email account is for a client and I run the POP server and there are no messages in the log files on the server about failed or attempted logins from this user. I know Mail is connecting to the server since if I put an incorrect user name or password during the setup I get an error on the server.
Please some ideas would be great.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Ernie,
One other point that is relevant is that this problem is occuring on two Macs.
In answer to your questions:
1. Yes there are other .Mac accounts
2. Not sure about this one but I doubt it since the client doesn't usually muck around with the fonts but they do move some Applications to a separate folder.
3. It is the version distributed with 10.4 and all updates to 10.4.6 have been applied. I will get the client to confirm the Apple Mail version.
4. No that is something I haven't tried. I will ask the client to try this.
Thanks for your reply.
Also I've jsut tried to set the account up on a Mac with Mail version 2.1 (752/752.2) and again it failed with the same error message. This Mac has nothing to do with the affected client, and I've tried this one to eliminate any problems with moved Applications or font problems. On this same machine I set the account up in Entourage and it worked no problem. The mail server is OS X Server with 10.4.

Do I need more info other than my email address and password?
Thanks!

How can I automatically set iCal delegates?

I have everyone in my office set up as a Open Directory user. I'd like everyone to be able to see each other's calendars that are on the iCal server. Is there a way to have everyone in the same group be able to read each others calendar without having to manually add everyone as a delegate? Thanks in advance.

You'd have to devise a script to do this.
Server-side delegation is handled via calendarserver_manage_principals
On the server (or logged in via ssh):
man calendarserver_manage_principals

How can I automatically sync my IMAP (AOL) Mail to the Mail App

I have an AOL mail account and I use the Mail App on my Mac to check my mail and so on.
My question is how do I keep all the Mail (including messages and attachemtns) on the AOL Server as a copy on my Mac Hard Drive.
For examples, I have 20 Sub-Folders on the AOL Server, can they automatically since to duplicate folders on my Mac? Or is there an easy way to do it.
Currently, I am manually moving my messages to the folders I created in the "On My Mac".
There must be an easier and automatic way to do this that I am missing right? We are in 2014!
Please Help!
