How to get my mail through without opening the mail app...

Hi
I have a tendancy to when ive finished using with my apps on my Mac I always go to top left and press quit itunes or quit mail etc
if i do that to mail, obviously when a email comes through i dont get it straight through unless the mail program is open (like on my iphone, if an email comes it just comes straight through)
what im asking is, is there a way for me to get my mail through straight away whilst the mail program is open? - thing is I like things tidy and dont like all these programs left open
also what is the point of the red X in the top left corner?, if im on a website on safari and I press the X, safari is still open isnt it, but if i click back onto safari to re open the app it just goes to the homepage
so really what is pressing the red X on the top left and quitting the app altogether, what is the difference?

Mail has to be open to receive the new mail notification.
Clicking the red x button just closes the window, does not quit the application.
To quit the application, you have to select "Quit......" from the application menu.
When an application is open, a white light indicator will be shown under the application icon in the Dock.

How to view contents of file without opening the file?

Does anyone know of a utility that will allow you to quickly view the contents - or a part thereof - of a file (particularly Word files) without having to open the file? I have thousands of files restored after a disk failure, but their filenames have been lost and replaced with sequential numbers. The only way of knowing the contents is to open the file, a tedious process for so many. I seem to recall seeing a shareware app that allowed this. Thanks for any help.
MacBook Pro 17 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_num from 1 to 5
set the_item to item this_num of window 1
set the_name to name of the_item
set the_text to (read (the_item as alias) from 1 to 15)
tell application "TextEdit"
set text of document 1 to (text of document 1) & the_name & return & the_text & return & return
end tell
end repeat
end tell
Before running the script, place the folder containing the files in the frontmost Finder window; you may want to split the files between several different folders and process each folder before heading on to the next one. The numbers in blue can be customized as needed; the first one controls how many files the script will search on each run, and the other two define what part of the file will be searched. The output from a file which is in a format other than plain text may contain document formatting and other content which will look like random characters.

HT1444 How to install a new OS without using the Mac App Store

I am running OS 10.5.8 on a refurbished Macbook Pro. I am not running an OS early enough to be able to use the Mac App Store. Everytime I go under Software Update it says everything is up to date. I would like to put the latest OS on this computer, but must install 10.6 first (apparently)?? My only question is how?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To have the App Store, you need Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and you can't get it from Software Update because it's a paid upgrade. Buy it from the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner, insert the DVD and follow the steps to upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update to install 10.6.8, so you will get the App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, just open the App Store and purchase it. Check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When it finishes downloading, just follow the steps to upgrade to Mountain Lion. You can check the OS X Mountain Lion requirements > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs

How do I launch mini player without opening the full iTunes?

When I just want to listen to my music it's annoying to fumble with the full iTunes interface just to turn on MiniPlayer. I would like to do this in Mac OSX 10.10 and Win7/8/8.1 just make a direct link directly to the MiniPlayer or allow me to launch iTunes with a switch like -MiniPlayer to go directly into it.

How I delete a smart group without opening the app?

I created a too large smart group (not that smart after all) and now address book crashes all the time when I try to start it.

Thanks a lot. I have iCloud and the suggestion of unchecking and having iOS reconstituting the address book from iCloud worked perfectly! Great suggestion

I get an error message when opening the Imessage app. referring to "activation error". My e-maill address is correct for Apple I.D., but cannot authenticate for Imessage.

I cannot send text message from the message icon. When I click on the app, it asks me to sign up for Imessages. When I do that, it tells me that my existing e-mail address is already associated as an Apple I.D. Can anyone offer any suggestions on what to do next? Thanks !!

I can't open the application App Store on my iMac. How can I fix this?

Here is the error message I keep getting.
You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Simone ...
You can reinstall the App Store by downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, then try the App Store.

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

How do i download and e-mail from a zip drive without opening the file

How do I download and e-mail data from a zip drive without opening the file?

Hi.
If you have a Zip drive, you can handle the file as you would any other file. Copy and paste. Drag and drop. Select and attach as an email attachment.
Zip drive data discs came in two capacities, 100MB and 250MB. So the largest files would not exceed those capacities, depending on the media from which they are pulled.
The trick, I should think, would be finding a working drive that can read the media... and hope that media is not corrupted. Zip media was notorious for failing.
I hope this helps.

How can I empty the Junk mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

How to send mail from adobe interactive form without opening the outlook

Hello all,
When the end user press the submit button i want it to send the XML data without opening the outlook or other mail application.
Is there a way to do this?
I tried javascript codes to send mail with UI = false but it did not work.
Thank you all in advance,
Eran

mailForm
Parameters: bUI, cTo, [cCc], [cBcc], [cSubject], [cMsgBody]
Returns: nothing
This method exports the form data and mails the resulting FDF file as an attachment to all recipients,
with or without user interaction depending on the value of bUI.
If it is set to true then the rest of the parameters are used to seed the compose new message window that is displayed to the user.
If bUI is set to false, the cTo parameter is required and all others are optional.
You must use a semicolon u201C;u201D to separate multiple recipients in cTo, cCc, cBcc parameters.
The length limit for cSubject and cMsgBody is 64k bytes.
Example:
/* This will pop up the compose new message window */
this.mailForm(true);
/* This will send out the mail with the attached FDF file to fun1 @ fun . com and fun2 @ fun . com */
this.mailForm(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail.");
Note:
This is a Windows-only feature. In addition, the client machine must have its
default mail program configured to be MAPI enabled in order to use this method.
I had to change the code:
instead of this.mailDoc :
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.mailDoc(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail." );
But the outlook new message window still opens...
Any Idea's?

How do I reinstall mail.app on OS 10.6.8 without an install disk

Software update recently updated my software automatically to 10.6.8 on my MacBook 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo. Apparently because i organize my applications into folders inside the root Applications folder, the mail app was not updated properly. I put the mail.app back in the root application folder and downloaded MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8. After running the update I still have the same problem I get the notice "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button." I don't have original install disk available to me. I don't know what I can do to get my Mail.app to work it is very important because it sorts out all the junk mail. Is there any way to reinstall mail without the original system disk?
Please Allen Eckhart, don't want your help. Can someone else help me?

Seems Apple is making things more difficult with every OS update. Back in the day you used to be able to organize your applications instead of having them all in one folder. You used to have a lot more freedom. More and more it is just easier to use a third party app. So I'm gonna install Thunderbird until Apple comes up with an easy way to fix the mail app. it seems that eveything in help says you just gotta reinstall the system from scratch. I would rather just use an open source product that I can put into any forlder I want without having to worry about it screwing itself up. Had similar experience with Safari now it seems like it is time to get rid of Mail.

How to view source of email message without opening the message?

In addition to Verizon Email, I use Windows Live Mail. With Windows Live Mail I can view the source of a message without opening the message. This way I can find out if the message is legitimate or spam before potentially getting hit with malware from a bogus message by opening it. I can then set up a blocking rule so a bogus message from either the sender or the domain never appears in my Inbox. I have not found a way to do this in Verizon EMail.
Is there a way to view the source of a message without opening the message in Verizon EMail? Right clicking just opens the message which I do not want to do.

computerbug,
You can get a preview of your email. Log into the Verizon account and go to email > in the top you will see
Conversations
Contacts
Calendars
Settings
Click on settings < General settings > Display and you will see 2 options for email view.
(Preview is not available, if the resolution is less than 1024 by 768 pixels)
Thanks,
