How to keep original email open when replying?

I bet this is somthing simple, but I just can't figure it out. When I click reply on an email, the original closes. It's no big deal, but I like to have the original open to refer back to. Is there a way to set my mail to keep the original open when replying. Thanks in advance

You're welcome.
I am not getting the other option about keeping
the preview pane visible.
It seems you're not aware that the part of the main window where messages are listed can be split in two parts: the messages list at the top and the preview pane at the bottom. You can do this by either (1) dragging upwards the thin horizontal separator bar that's at the bottom of the window, or (2) just double-clicking on that bar (it has a tiny hole in the middle).
How come when I delete an email in my .mac account,
I have to delete it twice from the trash?
Well, the answer to that question is way more involved than you might think.
The behavior you've observed happens in Mail to any IMAP-type account for which deleted messages are stored locally (i.e. Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store deleted messages on the server has been turned OFF). The "reason" is that storing deleted messages locally for IMAP-type accounts causes Mail to move deleted messages in that account to a Deleted Messages (AccountName).mbox folder located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
Deleting a message already in a Trash mailbox should cause the message to be permanently erased, BUT deleting a message from a mailbox located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ (i.e. an "On My Mac" mailbox) should cause the message to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash. Thus, in the particular case of a Deleted Messages (a Trash) mailbox stored within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, there are two conflicting behaviors, and it seems that Mail takes the latter into consideration first, i.e. deleting a message from the account's Trash under those conditions causes it to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash instead of being permanently erased as would happen if the Deleted Messages folder was located within the account folder.
This could very well be an oversight (a bug) rather than intended behavior, but that's how it works in the current version of Mail. If you're curious, the following somewhat amusing (but also lengthy and confusing) threads would give you an idea of how long it took me to figure out this one:
emails won't delete on first try
IMAP messages need trash deleted twice

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio. DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.

When someone responds to my original email, and I "reply" back, my original email isn't included. I need it. How do I get it to keep my original email?

When someone responds to my original email, and I "reply" back again, sometimes my original email is not included, and I need it to be. How can I correct this? Thanks.

I've had the same problem for more than a year with every Reply or Forward message I've been sending and today I found the solution! And it's really funny.
The message is always there but you can't see it because the font color is white! So white letters on white background = blank message. I think the settings must have defaulted to white during a software update.
The solution is very easy: go to Mail - Preferences - Fonts & Colors. Check the box that says "Color quoted text" and then choose three diferrent colors in the boxes below. Enjoy.
P.S. Make sure to also check the "Include all of the original message text" option under Mail - Preferences - Composing

Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP) and configure
your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
gmail account.

How do I delete emails? When I try to delete a message comes up saying unable to move to trash.

How do I delete emails? When I try to delete a message comes up saying unable to move to trash.

There are a few things that you could try. First try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
And if the above don't work then try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

Original email deleted when respond

I have Outlook 2013. By default when the sender or email recipient responds to an email the original email is deleted. How do you remove this default?

I think this may be the reason why.

Consider the following Example:

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON NUMBER.
IF NUMBER = 10.

Re: Keep your email address when moving house
I was told I could keep my bigpond email account after I moved home to go to the UK. I just needed it whilst I receved bills / and other correspondence for a few weeks.
My BigPond account has been blocked already - and this is very inconvenient - particularly as I won't be able to receive my final Telstra bill.

Receive Original Email Whenever I Reply to an Email Using Microsoft Outlook Exchange Server

This is a problem I've seen other people post about, but I haven't found a solution. Whenever I reply to an email using Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Exchange Server on my computer, I receive a copy of the original email (not the reply, but the original email that I replied to) on my Curve. My BB email is set up with BIS and my carrier is Verizon, but I've seen people post about this with other carriers.
Apparently there is some kind of incompatibility between Microsoft Exchange Server and BIS that is causing this problem.
This is a huge pain, because everytime I reply to an email, I have to delete a copy of the original email on my blackberry.
Does anyone know the solution to this?

Under "tools", "Options" , "applications" on my computer there isn't a "mailto". so these instructions don't work. Any other ideas?

How to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

how to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

If this is a POP mail account:
Settings > Mail.... > Your account > Advanced > Delete from server > Never.
However, this will risk re-downloading as new mail
IMAC accounts mirror what's on the phone in the server, so deleting from the inbox on the phone will either send it to the trans folder on the server or leave it in the inbox but marked as deleted (depending on the server)
Settings > Mail.... > your account > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox > On My iPhone Trash

How can I unlink emails from each other so replies don't appear together?

I'm not clear on what exactly you're asking. If you're wondering how to make Mail stop including a quoted copy of the original message in the reply, go to the Composing tab of Mail's preferences and uncheck "Quote the text of the original message" in the Responding section.
If you're asking how to stop showing your replies mixed in with the messages that you replied to, go to the Viewing tab of Mail's preferences and uncheck "Include related messages" under "View conversations."

How do I select a sender when replying/forwarding email on z10?

Current setup:
I have a Gmail and two other accounts. All mail from two other accounts is forwarded to Gmail.
I set up all three accounts on Z10.
When composing a new email, I can select any of the three accounts as a sender.
When replying to / forwarding a message, the sender is always set as Gmail, regardless of which address the message was sent to.
Question:
Is there any way to select a sender for reply/forwarded message on Z10 from the list of email accounts?
Please do not offer to switch off forwarding; I am not going to check three emails on other computers I use to work with emails.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Currently, you can't change the sender when replying or forwarding. It will use whatever account the mail came from on the device.
