How to disable Apple Mail Copy message

After an unsuccessful search for an Apple Mail forum, I will post this here (I miss the old forums--so easy to use):
I am almost always accidently using "Copy Message" when trying to move a message from my Inbox to a folder. This function is completely useless to me. Is there a way to disable it or remove it from the Message menu?

No.
Why don't you simply drag the message to the folder?

How to Disable Apple Mail?

I do not want to use or set up Apple Mail, but it continues to pop up asking me to set it up. I have no intentions of doing that. How can I disable it? I have tried the following:
1. Setting it up and disabling it --> it screwed up my system
2. I tried to remove only the mail ---> It messed up my system and asks where the mail is in pop ups.
3. I've tried Google notifier and setting that as my default --> Doesn't work
4. I've checked the preferences, accounts, login items ----> Mail is not listed
HELP!
<Edited by Host>

I finally figured out why the mail kep't on popping up. The mail does not normally behave this way. However, my calendar was inheriting from my Google calendar and they had alerts. These alerts kept pushing their messages to Apple Mail and thus it kept popping up. After I disabled that it has stopped annoying me. I tried every other imaginable thing. I hope this helps those who have a similar malady with their Apple Mail.

[SOLVED] How to disable "No mail." message upon login?

This one's really stumping me. I disable the mail message a few months ago by creating a .hushlogin file in my home directory. That did the trick. Now, I am seeing the message again, and I don't know why. .hushlogin still exists in my home directory. Here's my /etc/login.defs:

Thank you. I fixed it by changing a line in /etc/pam.d/system-login. Specifically, I changed

to

How to disable Apple Mail 2 cache forever?

Hello,
I really need to disable cache for Apple Mail 2 application without program restarting. Our designers make a greeting cards and they need to test it with Apple Mail application. The cards have remote pictures inside body and those pictures is different every time. It works fine with Apple Mail 3 under leopard and with Apple Mail 2 of latest minor version.
I got no any response with suggestion from Apple Support.
Can somebody help me with my problem?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Victor.

Hello,
I had tried the method with permission setup for Apple Mail Cache folder (I made it as 700) and I got a result. The Apple Mail 2 doesn't display the images from cache, but I've got another problem. Some images in specific HTML message body still appear. I don't know why. The message body does have a header, central content image and footer. The central image doesn't appear but images in header and footer always appears despite the fact that Apple Mail option Show Remote Images is disable and message is Junk.
Odd!
Could somebody tell me whats wrong?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Victor.

How to fix Apple Mail full message index in Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)?

I've tried all the solutions proposed in the past five years for this recurring failure of Apple Mail.
Many of those no longer apply because the OS X has evolved.
In April 2013 is their an effective fix or am I forced to migrate to Thunderbird?
Surprising that Apple has allowed this problem to continue for soooooo long.
Or is there an APP that can find messages in mail for me? EasyFind doesn't seem to work.
Thank you for suggestions.

The "issue" is the need to spend my time answering inquiries smoothly, efficiently, effectively with no headaches, no hassles, no downtime. THAT's why I dumped my Windows machines and re-invested in my Macs after a long stint in Windows World.
Fixing Apple Mail is NOT my job and certainly not "my" issue. Getting work done is my issue.
Happy users don't try alternative software.
Obviously the shortcoming of Apple Mail prompted you to get Postbox and "try it very briefly".
Calling Postbox rubbish is utter nonsense. Apple Mail is not "my own" and Postbox is not "my own".
Hardware and software are just tools to do a job and achieve an end and reach a goal.
Plenty of torrents offer Postbox for free.
But I was so impressed with its ease of use and comprehensive indexing that the company certainly deserves compensation for their efforts and I paid for it on the first day of a 30-day free trial.
Religiously supporting Apple regardless of extensive and widespread reporting of Apple Mail's multiple indexing problems, aside from all of Spotlight's widely reported indexing problems and CPU power consumption, but offering NO ACTUAL help, only stating the obvious -- "You have a problem." -- is not the purpose of Apple Support Communities. That is not support.
You offered no "steps to troubleshoot it now". You suggested no "simple but effective measures." You suggested no "maintenace tools".
THAT'S what I needed. THAT'S what lot's of other Apple Users need. That's what you should post here and lots of people would give you plenty many points.
All of the MANY fixes I tried were specific suggestions from the Support Community here and elsewhere trying to offer solutions that worked for them in the past -- support. Unfortunately, most of those suggestions were dated and didn't solve the problem. None of them solved the problem.
But they did offer well-intentioned, specific "simple but effective measures" and "steps to "troubleshoot" the problem. That's what people are looking for here, not just commentary.
In this case, best solution for me that got work (helping people) back on track was effortlessly slide into a great app that does the job with no problems whatsoever (so far).
The APP cost LESS than a drive to the Apple Store.
The REAL issue is solved. The REAL issue is fixed.
And I hope this one more additional option helps other Apple users get on with USING their machine, not trying to find fixes for buggy Apple apps.
Apple does not do all things the best.
Apple Mail worked OK until the last quarter's multiple software updates which I accepted believing they were fixes and improvements. The Apple experience degraded.
Any Apple Mail users experiencing problems with it should DEFINITELY consider moving to Postbox. It's great. And it's FREE for 30 days.
It is NOT HERESY to suggest Postbox works much better than Apple Mail. It's the truth.
Apple Mail working properly is still not as good as Postbox IN MY OPINION based on my personal experience.
I don't sell Postbox. I don't sell apps. I'm just posting a solution for other users to consider because it was such a relief to be able to "just use" my Mac again.

How to repair Apple Mail's frozen 'send' button?

how to repair Apple Mail's frozen 'send' button?

More details on the particular "adjustments", please?
AFAIK, there's no documented to insinuate a change into an outbound SMTP message (if that's what you're up to here) within Apple Mail.
Most commonly, these sorts of header adjustments arise at an intermediate mail server. Usually spam filters have something similar.
If these particular "adjustments" are possible within Mail, then it's likely via the undocumented plugins API underneath Apple Mail. And, well, that API is not documented. And the plugins API has changed at various Apple Mail updates, too; it's clearly not a stable API.

Apple Mail opens messages before log in

When I launch Apple Mail, several message windows open with message contents displayed; this is before I log in to the mail server. How can I make sure Mail waits for me to log in before it opens any message windows?
Thanks!

I think you mentioned some widget you downloaded that introduced a NEW button ?? That's what makes it normal for you, I fear.
Try this workaround:
select the first message in your Inbox list
Employ whatever means to mark it UNread with your preferred method,
THEN ⇧ Shift + Down arrow key to just above the Subject title you wish to read
THEN, Down arrow key or click the next in the list ("Locator for authorized repair/ ..." in my example)
VOILA!!
Repeat as necessary

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.

We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

My apple mail flagged messages are not showing up in the flagged folder.

my apple mail flagged messages not showing up in the flagged folder ?

All messages finally appeared in "Sent" in Mail.app. But it sure took some time.
Guess there is a severe lag time between .Mac and Mail.app?

Apple Mail delets messages on the Server POP3

Apple Mail delets messages on the Server Method: POP3. I use the preference to delete message if they where transfered out of the incoming box.
Since 10.6 this seems not longer to work, what is going wrong?
System: 10.6.4

Hi there. This feature should work, as I have 10.6.4 and use it personally. Note that once a message is deleted from POP mail cannot put it back, so this setting once checked only applies to new messages.
Make sure you look at the options about removing the message from the server when it's removed from the trash or after xx days.
If these are set correctly, you may find luck in unchecking the box for leaving the messages on the server and then rechecking it.
Lastly, you could try deleting the mail account and recreating it.

How to Forward Apple Mail

Can you tell me how to forward apple mail? I need a more powerful junk/spam screener that Yahoo.com provides....
<E-mail Edited by Host>

Not sure I understand correctly:
Apple Mail is a desktop email client; Yahoo is an online email service.
Is your problem that Apple Mail does not filter junk mail well enough? And you want to open your Apple Mail in Yahoo Mail?
Or are you currently getting your Yahoo mail forwarded to Apple Mail and opening it on Apple Mail?
