How to disable Mail as default mail reader?

How can I stop Safari from trying to open Mail when I click on email links? I got a new backup laptop, but do not want it to download messages from my POP servers, and just use my email accounts through Safari itself.
Thanks!

Hey ala and david,
I guess to be clear, I was looking for a solution along the lines of what the Webmailer preference pane does: when I click on a 'mailto' link in Safari that it will open up my gmail account instead of opening up apple mail. Basically, I want my backup ibook to behave a bit more like (gasp!) a PC in that respect, as I want to keep my apple mail downloads on my main computer.
I'll try both the creativetechs and webmailer utilities after work and see how they go. thanks for the tips.

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

How to disable mail inline attachments yosemite

Since installing Yosemite I have customers unable to download pdf attachments sent to them with Mac Mail. I purchased Attachment Tamer some time ago but it isn't yet supported for Yosemite and given the time taken I suspect it may not be updated. I believe the problem comes from the handling of attachments as "inline". Has Apple or any one else got a solution for this problem?

I need to disable mail forwarding for few users. TO achieve this I implemented a script which deletes "mailForwardingAddress" and "mailDeliveryOption: forward" for those users periodically. Though these delete operations run successfully, the forwarding still works.What do you mean by "the forwarding still works"? Remember that Messaging Server MTA processes have an LDAP cache which can take 10-15 minutes to expire. So changing the forwarding setting may not be immediately reflected.
What output do you get for the command:
./imsimta test -rewrite <users email address>
I read somewhere that an ACI on the LDAP attribute for forwarding would work. But I'm not sure how to do this.If you don't know how to create/edit/maintain LDAP ACI's then you shouldn't be going down this path. A small mistake can result in large problems.

How do I change my default file reader from Preview to Adobe in Firefox 3.6.28

I have always used Preview as my default download reader, however now some documents such as utility bills can only be opened using Adobe 9 reader. My question is this, how do I change my default reader to Adobe 9 in Firefox 3.6.28, Mac OSX 10.4

Unrelated to your issue, it looks like you're using a very old version of Firefox. You should upgrade to the latest version, Firefox 11 -- just go to the Help menu and click Check for Updates. This link walks you through the process: [[Updating Firefox]]

How do I change the default PDF reader from Acrobat Pro to Preview?

Right now Acrobat Pro is set as the default PDF reader in my Safari 3. It's slow and wonky, which I think might be a 10.5 issue. Anyway I'd like to make Preview my default PDF reader for Safari but I can't find where to make this change.

Hi Harry
You may also have to remove the Adobe PDF plug-in(s) from your Internet Plug-ins folder. If so, create a new folder in the Library where the Internet Plug-ins folder is located, calling it Internet Plug-ins - disabled. Move the file(s) to there. This way, if you need to use Adobe again, it's as simple as moving the file back, then reselecting the option in the Adobe app.
After so, restart Safari and try a PDF.

How do you make pages default document reader

Hi
I have just started using pages and i cant seem to work out how to make it the default application to open up the many documents i have.
Every time i open a document it opens in textedit, i know that you can choose in properties with which program to open it with, but i am getting really fed up of doing this.
is there any way to make pages the default instead of textedit program.
Ta
Karl
p.s I used to use MS office but i cant be bothered to reinstall it and most of my docs are .doc (office format)

kb,
You can set .doc files to open in Pages, and its surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any .doc file, then type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it's not in the menu). To make all .doc files open in Pages, click on the Change All button.
You can do the same thing with other types of files, like RTF or plain text.

How to disable mail forwarding to external email address

We had a serious security issue with people who had forwarded automatically using Apple Mail filters messages to an external email address.
We want to avoid in the future that a user in the Apple Mail program can create filters.
It should not be possible that the incoming mail is automatically forwarded by a user.

Sorry, but unless you prohibit any access to Mail, what you're seeking isn't possible. As long as a user can send mail, they can forward it to whomever they like, even if they don't use any Rules.

How to disable overprint feature in Adobe Reader 9 or 10 when printing?

Hi,
I have a PDF document with overlapping objects (black text on top of pink text). When I print from Adobe Reader 9 or 10 using any PCL color print driver (Windows 7 32-bit/64-bit), the pink text shows through, regardless of "Use Overprint Preview" setting in Adobe Reader Preferences. Is there a way to turn this off for printing using any setting in Adobe Reader 9 or 10? I don't want the pink text to show through, which is what is displayed on screen when I set "User Overprint Preview" to Never. Print As Image didn't help either.
Thanks!

You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.
If you are a big enterprise with sensitive information consider DRM solutions ($$$$+).
