    How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
    When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

    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?

    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 Acrobat from automatically opening created PDF?

    This may be a question asked elsewhere, but my search didn't find it.
    How can I stop Acrobat from automatically opening every PDF that I create in Adobe Reader?  I'm using using Acrobat 6.0 Pro.
    Thanks for your help with this major annoyance!
    Cheers.

    Adobe does not recommend Reader and Acrobat both be installed. They have strange interactions and can cause problems. If you do not have problems, you are lucky. Part of the problem is that they leave a part resident to enable quick opening. If it works for you, then fine. If you have some problems, you at least have an idea of what a prime candidate is for the error.

  • 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.

  • How to stop mkinitcpio from making a fallback image [solved]

    I have never needed to boot to my fallback kernel image so I am wondering how to stop mkinitcpio from making one.

    I have never needed my car's airbags, but that doesn't mean I want to remove them.
    If you are determined, you could take a look at /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset.
    (edit) You could probably have figured this out for yourself. I just looked it up in the wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … figuration

  • 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'
    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 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 do I stop apps from automatically downloading every time I connect to the internet?

    When my iPhone connects to the internet, an average of four apps automatically download on my device. What is causing this issue and how can I stop it?

    I've just got a new iPad, got 8 updates available on app store, after like 5 min there were 4 updates. It was when I realised that it was automatically downloading stuff, so i disabled it from iTunes and App Stores settings as you wrote. The problem is that even though I disabled everything, every time I reconnect this iPad to wi-fi it continues to download because from 4 available updates it went down to 2. And somehow it managed to download GarageBand update, that's 600mb off of my monthly 8gb!! Why does it keep downloading from app store?

  • How can I stop Mail from automatically archiving every incoming and outgoing email?

    Mail is automatically archiving every incoming and outgoing message, and then synch'ing that with my iPhone -- thus sucking up all available memory.  I have never asked it to automatically archive everything, and can't figure out how to stop it.  Any ideas?

    Launch Mail.
    Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced
    Uncheck the box beside "Include when automatically checking for new messages".
    Do it for all accounts if you want.
    Best.
