How to Resume "Normal" Style in Mail?

I frequently (i.e., always) encounter a very annoying feature in mail from which I'm unable to figure out how to extricate myself once the "trigger" is in place!
Whenever I copy and paste an item into a mail composition, I find that the style, shading, and line spacing of all subsequent text that I add mimics that of the pasted item.
I cannot figure out how to re-establish normal text following the "paste."
Advice?

But I'm wondering if this forces the pasted item to match the preceding style, or does it allow the style that existed before pasting to resume after pasting?
I'm not sure, since I never have to do that. But you could also add 3-4 Returns, then move your cursor up two lines and paste, thus preserving the default style after that pasted text. Alternately, you can just wait until you're done with the entire message, Select All, then go to Format>Show Fonts and pick the font you use normally for Mail messages and it will change all of it to that.
I highlighted the text (following the pasting) and then clicked on Format | Styles | Default... Nothing happened.
Did you click on Apply, and then Done, or did you just select the Default style and click Done? It's possible it will have no effect, but it should, since it's there for a reason, but unexplained in any documentation I've seen from Apple.

Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

How do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders

Hi everybody on this line...
I am using a Powerbook + a Mini mac and I would very much like to read/delete/save all my incoming e-mail on both machines without doing the work twice (on each machine). So how do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders (when I delete on e-mail on one of the mac it will also be deleted on the other machine or if I move an e-mail to a folder, it would also me moved to the same folder on the other machine).
I am award of the possibilities that .mac give me but as far as I know I can only use .mac for my mac e-mail account ([email protected]) and not for my other accounts that I have from my internet provider ([email protected]) which is a pop account.
I hope you understand my question.
Thanks in advance

You're welcome.
Could you please make a totally run down (step by step) of
how to synchronize one mail account between to machines.
There is nothing else to say, really. Locally stored mailboxes cannot be synchronized, period. Mailboxes stored on the server are synchronized automatically without you having to do anything else. If there is something you don't understand, you'll have to ask specific questions.
The only way to have an exact copy of all your mail in both computers for locally stored mailboxes is to copy the entire ~/Library/Mail folder between them every time. Mail shouldn't be running on either computer while you do this, and it would be a good idea to copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist as well.
right now the inbox of my Imap account is showed
together with my other e-mail accounts inboxex
As it should be. Mail organizes the standard mailboxes by type instead of by account, so that you can look at them both individually and combined as if you had just one of each type.
ut it is also showed futher down in my "menu" wtihin
the mail program, with a logo as a black ball,
together with two folders that I have made (Prut
mappe) and (choir OF young believers).
This is also normal. I assume the "menu" you're talking about is the mailboxes list. Since Mail organizes standard mailboxes by type, the rest of mailboxes must be shown separately. In Mail 2.x, local custom "On My Mac" mailboxes are shown ungrouped at the root level of the mailboxes list, and an account group is displayed for each IMAP account to organize custom mailboxes stored on the server.

If the Inbox for this account only is revealed, is there any triangle beside it?
Ah, yes, I see! Silly me to be looking for Sent mail under "Sent"! Indeed, there's a disclosure triangle next to the account name under "Inbox", and wen you open it, it shows Drafts, Sent, spam, and Trash. The sent items are indeed there.
Mind you, my Dot Mac accounts show up normally, i.e., their sent mail goes under "Sent". Wish all IMAP accounts did that. It sure isn't logical to show sent mail inside an inbox...
But to answer your question: In addition to having the "Sent" folder for the account under "Inbox", I also have a folder for the account under "Sent". This folder disappears when I check the box to store messages on the server. There were emails in it (the ones I placed there myself). I have now moved those emails to the sent sub-folder under the account under "Inbox". Even with the "store on server" option UNchecked, the emails were instantly duplicated to the server, so that they were present both locally and remotely. I then checked the "store on server box"; this made the mailbox for the account under "Sent" vanish.
To summarize: things appear to work normally now, except that I find it very inconvenient to have to look in two separate "Sent" folders to find emails I've written.

Styles in mail Suck

Is there a way to get the styles in mail to not suck?
I consistently use 3 paragraph/type styles in my emails, but the style setup in mail is horrible.
Apple please update this to be consistent with iWork's styles. (hightlight, title, blockquote are the 3 styles excluding normal)
Also, why can't I assign a color to the normal type in mail?
Sometimes I'm glad for this because I hate getting morons who use "pink" as a default color.
but as a designer I like to have control. I often use an 80% black as my default for a softer impact, in mail I have to change each message if I want this. That is gay.
I would also love the same text formatting from the info window of pages so I don't have to go through all the menus to get rid of the jacked up formatting that I got from copy and pasting text in mail.
If there are ways to do any of this stuff I would love to know about it.
Thanks

There used to be no videos on the web either, but times have changed and the internet is faster.
should we still be using animated gif's too because they are cute? Should we not use css because we used to just use html tables? That is just bad logic.
I agree with you that overdoing styles in email bad, and for 90% of emails I don't need styles.
But suggesting plain text, thats crazy!
that means no bold or italics, or anything just a monospaced type.
+you don't send plain text emails+, and if you put much info in a plain text email nobody finds what is important in it.
*I write my emails so that you can skim it and find the important info instantly*
I don't want to add images (I can create stationary) I just want the message I want to communicate to comes across clear. So the style would save the type size, color, font, and the emphasis (bold, italics) as well as the indent level and paragraph styling. *I want styles just for the text.*
This is what designers use styles for. Its used in every magazine, book and web page, it is built into the first version of html (h1, h2), they have been used since the beginning of the web. Everything you read already uses styles for its typography. Most programs have a way to save styles, mail does, but it is horrible.
All that I want is a simple way to store the typography I'm already using and recall it.

How can i cancel a strange mail?

How can i cancel a strange mail that arrived to me? It is empty without object. The mail program doesn't permit mebto cancel and to move it.

Just in case the email is bona fide but there has been a malfunction it is worth doing a Reset first. [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
If there is no change then just try to delete it. The reset should enable this to be done.

How to Merge Eudora into Apple Mail?

Mac OS 10.5.8 is now obsolete. So I'm planning to upgrade to Lion 10.7.x.
Since Lion does not support Eudora, I must switch to some other email client. After many hours of research I have decided to switch to Apple Mail.
Unfortunately, the two popular conversion applications (Emailchemy and Eudora Mailbox Cleaner) appear no longer in existence.
Any good tips on how to merge Eudora into Apple Mail on OS 10.5.8 (so I can upgrade to Lion 10.7.x)?
Thank you.
Scott "pulling his hair out" in Saint Louis

Hi folks,
I just helped someone move 350k messages from a series of Eudora archives to Apple Mail. Anyone who says they had great luck with Apple Mail directly importing their Eudora messages is either a liar or didn't notice (or care) that their dates were all messed up. So here are some notes.
First, Eudora Mailbox Cleaner only runs under 10.6 since it's PPC and requires Rosetta. So you're gonna need a 10.6 or earlier mac (or virtual machine).
Second, After running Eudora Mailbox Cleaner, you need to poke Apple Mail into rebuilding all those mailboxes. You can go Mailbox->Rebuild for each one if you only have a handful, but an alternative is to intentionally break (aka delete) Apple Mail's mailbox cache. You can do this by deleting/renaming the file called 'Mailboxes' (IIRC, I don't have a 10.6 mac in front of me to double check). Next time you open Apple Mail it will rebuild all your local mailboxes.
Third, Eudora Mailbox Cleaner will terminate if you throw it a particularly complex (or large group of mailboxes). I assume it has something to do with the way it walks mailboxes. You're going to want to break up any mail folder that has a number of large subfolders into multiple folders or imports. So for example, if you had the following structure:
folder/
folder/a (big)
folder/b (big)
folder/c (big)
Eudora mailbox cleaner will likely crash. If you reparent your folder structure so it's something like this:
folder/part1/a
folder/part2/b
folder/part3/c
This way no individual sub folder contains folders that exceed some magical threshold. I never figured out exactly how/why this happens, but if you put your big mailboxes each in their own folder, the import will usually just work. You might also have to break up your import into smaller chunks.
A couple other things to note, Eudora allows pretty much anything in mailbox names including ~><*%$@&/\|` etc. While most of these will continue to work fine in Apple Mail, it's in your best interest to rename them to something more normalized to steer clear of trouble.
As for Lion, I never successfully got Lion Mail to import mailboxes created by Eudora Mailbox Cleaner properly. Either they wouldn't show up at all or they would show up nested with two copies of the mailbox, for example MailboxQQ had messages in it as well as subfolder MailboxQQ/Messages with a duplicate copy of the mail.
So for me, going from Eudora to Lion Apple Mail I had to do the following:
Eudora->Eudora Mailbox Cleaner->Apple Mail (on 10.6) then copy the files over to the Lion machine and let Apple Mail (on 10.7) import the 10.6 Apple Mail Mailboxes into it's new 'V2' mailbox format.
So good luck. A perfect migration is possible, it just takes some work.

You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account

How was someone using my e-mail address as their Apple ID?

First time posting, so I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum.
1) I have a primary e-mail adress that is not linked to my iTunes. The only time this e-mail address was used in conjunction with anything Apple was when I purchased Quicktime Pro in 2006 and registered my iPod in 2007. I do have an iTunes account with a seconday e-mail address, and log in occasionaly to listen to free podcasts (never purchasing anything)
2) Today on my primary e-mail address, I recieved a warning that an app was downloaded, with this e-mail as the Apple ID. This was the first e-mail I've recieved from Apple on this address since registering my iPod in 2007.
I live alone, and don't share my electronics with anyone, so I know it's not that. so I'm left wondering - how did someone use my e-mail address as an Apple ID? Wouldn't I have recieved an e-mail during the initial registration this person tried to use?
Thankfully I have no credit card associated with Apple, so I wasn't overcharged, but this seems like a big security hole.

The content was this:
Your Apple ID, [my primary e-mail address] , was just used to download -KingdomConquest- from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple
There is the possibility that I did change my iTunes account to my primary and just forgot, but that's doubtful considering a) today was my first e-mail from Apple since 2007 on this address and b) I'm still recieving iTunes updates on my secondary e-mail that I registered years ago.
Also, I don't own any devices capable of running Kingdom Conquest. Thankfully, it's a free app. It would be interesting to see a list of other apps downloaded with this ID, if any. Is there a way to do that?
Maybe someone mistyped their email address when creating their account and it just happened to be yours?
I thought that, too, but my e-mail address is [email protected] My first name is somewhat common, my last name is definitely not. And back to what I said earlier, I never recieved a registration e-mail from Apple, just the one above.

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now. Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.
