How to stop Mail form downloading automatically

My mail programme preferences are set to download manually. I use scripts to send mails after certain tasks are ready. Sometimes (randomly) mail all of a sudden downloads all mail.
Anybody know what could cause this? How to stop it as I do not want it to download at all.

Thanks haroldo1

It so is!
Just a guess, you could also eliminate the incoming mail server information and eliminate it's ability to download (...I do not want it to download at all...).
If I do that (and no it never needs to download only upload) Mail flips out as it wants the information. I tried this.

How to stop Mail from downloading automatically even it is set not too

My mail programme preferences are set to download manually.
In advanced, the account is not 'included in automatically checking for new mail'

How to stop it as I do not want it to download mail at all as I use an other programme for reading and writing mail.

Hi Mulder
What you're describing doesn't make sense. Mail doesn't download mail if it's set to wait for a manual initiation.
I know however...
But once that is check is initiated, any and all waiting mail will be downloaded.
I know.
I've never heard of this happening before, to anyone. Unless your preferences are corrupted, which there's no indication of at this point, something else is triggering Mail to check for new email.
I never heard either, hence posting
But if you're using some other program for sending and receiving email, why would you have that account setup in Mail, as that would defeat the purpose of supposedly using that other program. If you really want to eliminate the possibility of this happening, you would need to delete that account in Mail, and backup the mail for that account before you delete it.
complex issue, but rather keep both programmes.
Otherwise, we need more details, including which version of Mac OS X you're running, and the other program that you're using for email.
OS 10.5.5
Mail 3.5
other programme Entourage

How to stop Mail from downloading automatically?

I have the preferences for mail set to download manually. however, every time I send a mail or sometimes when I start the programme it downloads the mail. anybody know how to fix this?

In Mail preferences, select the Accounts section. For each account, go to the Advanced tab and make sure that the 'Include when automatically checking for new mail' option is unchecked.
That should do it.

How to stop mail from recovering a too large message

how to stop mail from recovering a too large message

You can't stop Mail from storing sent messages locally. If they're synchronized with the IMAP server, they'll still be present locally. The only way to get the effect you seem to want is to use webmail.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

How to stop Mail from selecting addresses from the list of Previous Recipients?

How to stop Mail from selecting addresses from the list of Previous Recipients?

This is a related question.
I deleted ALL my previous recipients and when I create a new e-mail it STILL is getting addresses that I don't want - they pop up and I don't know how to stop this!
I switched from one ISP to another - I deleted the old e-mail account in MAIL - I DID use the same name on the account - is that why it keeps bringing up the old address?
ARGH!

How to stop iphone 4 from automatically download iOS6 update to your phone?

I would like to know how to stop the automatic update of iOS6 download directly to my iphone 4 without me telling it to go ahead and download it. It's so sneaky, it keeps automatically downoading the update (2+GB) and take up that same amount of space on my iphone once I charge it to full power. And it will stay like that along with me losing 2+GB of space to apple unless I install the update.
However, I refuse to install the update when it doesn't have google map, youtube apps and still having problem with wifi connection and data overusage due to some unknown bug and not the customer using it. I have reseted my iphone 3 times back to the original factory setting so I can reclaim that 2GB storage space and keep my iOS5 already, but everytime I did that, it would just redownloaded the update again without asking for my confirmation after I charge the phone to full power. Is there anyway to stop this insanity? I don't want to do hard reset/activate phone again and again just to rid of this automatic download. It's wasting my time, my storage space and my bandwidth....and I do not have unlimited storage space. Please help!!!

I would disable wifi before plugging it in to charge. Eventually, you will need to update as only the current version of IOS will be supported.

How To Stop An MMS Download

I tried sending myself a picture message a while ago to see if I could recieve them, and I can't. The thing is, I can't get my Centro to stop trying to download it. Whenever I go to the message center, the little envelope with 0% always shows up and it's slowing my phone down. Sometimes I can't even turn the screen off to save power.
Is there any way I can get my centro to stop trying to download this?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

nothing you can do.
either let the downloads finish or send an email to the iTS customer service using this form and ask the folks there to remove the item(s) from your download queue.

How make ERMS mail form avail as a std response 7.0

I have the mail form created in CIC Manager, in the ERMS email response I can find the form in the search and insert it.
I just want mail form to be in the std response so the agent does not have to do a search for it each time.
Is this doable?
I'm not trying to make it default in the email response automatically but just easier for the agent to find it without going to "More" and doing a search each time.

Hi Glenn,
You need to add the mailform ID to a so-called Standard Response Group (transaction CRMC_IC_RESPNGRPX) via IMG menu path: Customer Relationship Management - Interaction Center WebClient - Basic Functions - Communication Channels - Define Standard Response Groups. Its a bit screwy, you you need multiple line entries (with the same Std Response Group ID) for each mail form you want to add to a given profile.
Then you have to add the Standard Response Group profile to your agent-facing Business Role obviously.
Best regards,
John

TS1702 How to stop an app download when hit accidently

How do you stop an app download when you accidentally hit the download button on iPad 3?

I think the question isn't about purchasing but actually downloading. For example if you see that there is an update available and you start to download, lose internet connection, the application will essentially be locked from use until the update finishes.
I ran into this problem on holiday where I tried to update Camera Awesome but the internet was painfully slow (56k or less speeds). The application started to download but was taking literally hours to complete. In the meantime I couldn't access any of the photos within that application or use it for new pictures.
In short, any application that is being downloaded, installed, etc will be unavailable until that process completes.

How to STOP Mail from launching at startup

I hate even posting this question because it seems like I'm missing something easy. I want to stop mail from launching at start-up because I now have entourage.
I can find how to TURN OFF mail and TURN ON entourage at start up.
Mail: 2.1.3
Entourage: 12.2.3

You're overlooking the obvious, as you suspected.
Go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove Mail from that list. If you want Entourage to startup, add that to the list.
However, there's no good reason to use Entourage over Mail, especially because it stores all your mail in a single file, so if that file ever becomes corrupted (it will, at the worst possible time) all your mail is gone; it cannot be recovered.
Secondly, you shouldn't startup applications at launch, since that will slow down your startup time and can easily cause other problems before you even get the chance to do anything with the computer. If you need to use a program, launch it after the Finder has loaded completely.
