How to stop incoming mail?

Hi!
I would like to stop *incoming mail* on the iBook G4. All I want is send. Is it possible? I read something about +Server Admin+. I don't know what it is and where to find it. I thought of creating rules for all accounts but I don't know if it's the right way to do it. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the mail system through 4 computers.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hmmm, interesting question, only thing I can think of at the moment is in Mail Prefs to wipe out the incoming Mail server and log in, then in Advanced deselect Check this account for incoming mail automatically for this account.
Perhaps just in advanced, unchecking Remove Mail from Server on all but the Main one, they'll all get it still, until the main Mac does.
IMAP if available could solve this also.
EDIT: Took me too long t post, glad you found it though!

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

How to show incoming mails in CRM Interaction Center?

Experts,
how can we show incomming ele. letter for m.-direction of CRM USER in Interaction center.
An example: I am interaction center agent. I am sending a correspondence to my client. In my user (SU01) i have saved my direction.
The client receives my e m a i l with my e m. direction saved in SU01. He answers.
Now, I want this m. to go to my interaction center inbox. What do I have to do?
Hoping for help,
Cristina

hi christina,
If i understand you correctly (plz correct me if i'm wrong)
You want the incoming mails to appear in the agent's inbox.for this you will have to assign either one common e mail id (for eg: heldesk at company.com) which will be shown to the customer in his e mail inbox.
Similarly when he replies back to this e mail the e mail will be visible to all the agents in their Agent inboxes.(Standard practice)
If you are working on CRM 5.0 this can be acheived as follows:
1.Take BASIS help for creating the common e mail ID
2.maintain the settings
IMG>ICWC>Agent Inbox>Settings for Asynchronous Inbound Processing>Define Receiving E-Mail Addresses/Fax Numbers
3Map Item Attributes to Inbox Attributes
follow C-78 SAp best practices to set it up
hope this helps
Regards
Raj

How to stop Apple Mail reverting to new msgs at bottom?

Have been having this problem ever since installing Mavericks. AppleCare keeps telling me they will tell me how to stop this and have my new messages at the top again, but still haven't told me. Every day I have to re-set this because it reverts back. Makes no difference WHERE I re-sent this.
Having many other AppleMail problems: For one thing, am not receiving some important emails which do show up in Web Mail.

I have done that countless times. I have also done it countless times at the small place at the top of the emails where it says "Sort By Date." Neither works at all. However, yesterday I did the major rebuild of Apple Mail and this morning for the first time when I went there it said "Newest Msg at the Top" so hopefully that was it.

How to stop duplicate mail

how to stop duplicating mail

Hi rianmu, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

How to mark incoming mail as "junk"?

How can I mark incoming mail as unwanted? And consequently block the address of the sender?
Thanks

Sorry, but there is no junk mail filtering on the iPad, and no way to block a sender. Your ISP may provide such filtering capability as part of their email hosting service; most do, particularly those that have a web interface to your mail account.

How can the incoming mail section on an iphone5 disappear? I can send messages but cannot receive them. Shouldn't there be an incoming section like the outgoing mail server section?

I Haven't received incoming email for nearly a week now. I have checked the settings and the only thing that isn't there is the INCOMING MAIL SERVER section. The outgoing mail server is there and is correct. How can I get it back so that I can enter the mail server?

Hi Olivier,
Thanks very much for that. it worked on my powerbook(running Tiger). I went to the link and followed the instructions and it worked. Did i mention that my dad who has a iMac running Leopard now has the same problem. I thought i would just do the same but the Preference in Mail for Leopard is of course different. There is no icon called "Server Settings" under Accounts section like there is on mine. Do you have a link for the same kind of instructions for Leopard?
Thanks again,
Bryce

How to block incoming mail with internal domain as sender

Hi all,
Ironport accept incoming mail to internal domains defined in the RAT without verify the sender domain is the same internal domain.
To avoid this I have used a message filter to drop those mails. I can't use the bounce command to avoid to be considered a spammer.
Is there a way to reject those mails with a 5xx error message?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Andrea

Securegroup,
jloehler is absolutely correct, when I configure appliances (personally I use a 1 listener config) I set the Default Mailflow Policy to Use the Exception Table ("On") and insure that all incoming mail policies (anything with the ACCEPT action) is set to "Use Default" for this parameter. Then I double check to insure that the RELAY policy is set to "Off" because you don't want to reject outbound messages due to the Exception Table.
Once I've verified that the RELAY is off and Inbound policies are "On" I then populate my exception table with all the internal domains and specify the reject action. Now a quick take away is that the Exception Table only performs the rejection based on the SMTP MAIL FROM not the "From:" header internal to the message itself.
Now with all that said it never fails that there is some internal group that uses 3rd party marketing which spoofs the internal domains so I usually create a new incoming mail flow policy with the Exception Table turned "Off" and create a Sender Group call DOMAINSPOOFLIST which are IPs and Domain names that I allow to spoof internal e-mail addresses with the new mail policy assigned to it.
And that's it.
Sincerely,
Jay Bivens

In Mac Mail 7.1 How do you stop incoming mail from showing all related mail. The link at the top doesn't do the trick.

When I receive an email every single mail that has the same subject shows up in the inbox as a separate email. It is very confusing when you see a bunch of emails and have to try to figure out the actual order. The point is that I simply do not want to see all the other emails in the same window. All I want to do is read the current email. And if that particular email has any previous emails in the email thats OK but what is happening is you see the related email twice. This was not occurring in the previous version. The botton on the top that says Hide Related Emails does not work continuously. I am using Maverick.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

TS1627 How to Stop Mac Mail from Commandeering My Preferred Email Account

For email, I prefer my Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but when I click an email address online, my Mac's Mail program automatically comes up, as if I want to use it to send my email. It also starts downloading my latest email. I frantically shut it down while trying to memorize the email address I want to send a message to using another of my accounts. I do this because when Mail downloads my email, the same new messages in my other accounts get changed from "unread" to "read." How do I stop Mail from being my default for outgoing mail when clicking on email addresses found on webpages and commandeering my incoming email?

Try, after a back up, deleting the account and re-creating it. You can also try contacting Yahoo, I have Yahoo and have had "weird problems with them". Deleting and re-creating has solved my issue in the past, try it and contact them.
The problem is on their end, in my experience.

How to stop voice mail password pop up on iphone 5

Call your carrier & have them reset your voicemail. Then set such up with a password. Voicemail is a carrier feature, not a phone feature & most carriers require a password for such.

How to stop junk mail entering my email

How do I stop junk email from entering my email?

Apple mail has poor junk mail capabilities. No matter how many time you flag mail as junk it appears in your inbox as junk. I have switched to Thunderbird by mozilla and it has great junk mail filters. It actually remembers what you flag as junk and with the proper rule it removes the mail from your inbox and places it in the junk folder. It works great for me,
