How to switch focus in Mail.app?

Hello!
I am trying to use Mail.app only with the keyboard.
However one last thing keeps me using the MagicTrackpad: I was not able to discover how to switch the focus from one folder of the folder list on the left side to the mails within this folder (in the middle panel - using the 3-panel-view).
Do you have an idea how to do this?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Vlad

Hi, Jeffrey!
Thanks for your reply!
In the linked article you can find:
"You can use the tab key to switch between the three areas of Mail.app’s interface — (1) the Mailbox Viewer, (2) The Message List Viewer, the (3) Preview Pane and the search field in the Toolbar:"
This is no longer true for me (not even in the classic design!), running Version 6.2 (1499) from Mail.app with 10.8.2: I can not switch between this areas using the tab key!
Do you?
Kind regards,
Vlad

How can I get my mail app to sync from my mac to iPhone, I don't have the 'info' option in iTunes?

How can i get my mail app to sync from my mac to iphone? i dont have the 'info' option in itunes!
I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

How do I get my Mail app to sync with my other devices?

Please, I'm trying to get my Mail app to work properly. I view or delete a message on it and it doesn't mark it as viewed or deleted on my iPad or phone. Help?

How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
Thanks in advanced

Hello,
I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
Any help would be appreciated

How to troubleshoot Windows 8 Mail app connectivity issues with Google Business Apps?

My company went to Google Apps last year. I am unable to connect Mail App on Windows 8 to my corporate Google account. I am using m.google.com for server with SSL enabled, but no luck. I also enabled bit locker as my company policy requires device encryption.
Mail App does not give a clear error message. It simple states that this PC does not meet security policies enforced by Google. Please advice. I already made peace when my Nokia Lumia 920 running windows phone 8 does not connect to Google
apps because of a bug that would not turn on device encryption unless requested by Active Sync and it would not turn on with Google sync.
These are annoying issues that Microsoft must fix to gain enterprise support. Here are the settings from my mobile settings page:

Answer is of no use. I tried all the forums and websites. I am not able to connect to corporate google apps because it requires SD card encryption. How do I enable this on windows 8.
Please discuss this with your boss and other peers before answering. This is an advanced question. I am going to paint this a little bit more..
Today's enterprise requires that most devices support device encryption and Windows Phone does support device encryption but here is the problem- there is no support for SD card encryption. Even for phones like Lumia 920 that does not have an SD card cannot
connect to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync due to a bug in the implementation.
When the policy parameter Require Encryption on Storage Card is enabled, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices misreport the presence of an SD card, even if the device has no SD card slot. The policy enforcement occurs, provisioning fails, and the device
cannot be synchronized. You can read more on their support site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464593
This long thread on the Microsoft community is a testament to this problem:
http://answers.microsoft.com/e...3ce3-49e4-8069-ecdccd55a5f9
This is also a problem for those enterprises that are using google apps and running Microsoft exchange activesync. Take a look at this request and policy that will throw the 85010013 error on your windows phone.

Overall, I hope Microsoft fixes this issue soon

How can I stop the mail app from downloading old messages and marking them as new.... repetedly

I have just bought myself my first ever mac, and i've been having a little trouble with the mail function that comes with it. The first time i connected my mail app to my hotmail adress, all my old mails started coming in and they were all marked as unread. i had like 7000 og them, so it took a while for them all to load. after this i marked them all as read, and it was fine for a couple of days.
I am not sure what makes all my e-mails load as "new" again and again, but it happens every so often. This is very annoying because i get a little notification at the top of my screen for every "new" e-mail.
In the beginning i didn't think that much of it, but now it is really starting to annoy me, bacause it has happened so many times, so my question is:
Have any of you experienced this? And how did you fix it?
And i am running the OS X version 10.8.2, if that is relevant

Is it an IMAP or POP account?
For POP accounts, you can select remove from server under the advanced tab of the account.

How do I remove Apple Mail app from the dock on my Macbook Air, Maverick version?!?

I am using OS X version 10.9.2 (Maverick). The Apple Mail app is frozen and stuck on my dock. How do I remove it?!? The icon is active (light below) but I have quit the application. Also, I cannot open the application anymore either (I click to open, but nothing happens). Help!

I just tried trashing everything in the Mail package contents and restarting my Air. However, it says that Mail has cancelled restart and that I should try quitting Mail (which I have done, multiple times)..... Please help!

How I solved issues with Mail.app and Spotlight

Even though my upgrade from Tiger 10.4.10 to Leopard was painless, the new OS X did have a few issues that had bothered me:
*Mail.app: * Every now and then, the app would behave like on its first startup, saying it needs to import my mail before I can work with it. What's more, at times I've had the phenomen that messages would appear empty on the preview pane and sometimes even when being opened.
*Spotlight: * Even though I let the indexing finish on the first day of working under Leopard, every now and then it seemed to start all over. First, I thought it's the NAS being indexed but it just went on to restart indexing each time I thought I had let it finish.
*Free disk space: * I tried to bring the usage of my homedirectory down so I would have enough free disk space to switch FileVault off and then back on so I could start using TimeMachine. But whatever I did, the free disk space just wouuldn't inrease - it just stayed the same (yes, I did let the system recover space on shutdown).
The *free disk space* issue made me think there was a problem with my disk but repeated runs with the Disk Utility yielded nothing...not for about a month. Yesterday I got some warnings about 'damaged but not repaired' but according to an Apple doc those could be safely ignored.
Somebody suggested to apply the combo update for 10.5.1 as that could solve some issues so I went ahead - after all, the update had already been applied earlier so just re-installing wouldn't hurt much, right?
Wrong.
The install of the combo update went smoothly, FileVault recovered some space on shutdown but upon restart I couldn't log in anymore: My homedirectory was damaged. The friendly OS X Leopard offered to repair it but soon later reported back that it failed doing so.
Now, to cut a long story short - deleting the affected user's account and using a different user on the same machine (without FileVault) solved any issues I've had. Mail now works like a charm (despite 40k+ messages with attachments), spotlight doesn't restart all it's indexing and disk space is shown correctly again. Also the odd corrupt file copy I had experienced occasionally (especially with large files) was gone.
My advise to anyone who didn't de-activate FileVault under Tiger to make the switch to Leopard: Even if you think it worked, switch it off and let Leopard set it up again. You may think things went right...but the above shows that there may be issues with it that you may blame other apps for...but they're probably not guilty at all.
I don't think the combo update actually caused FileVault to turn corrupt, it was just what broke the camel's neck. While it's no fun to lose your homedirectory, I'm glad the underlying issue finally came to light.

Thanks to this thread, it's been solved.

How do I force iPhone Mail app to reply in plain text?

How do I force the iPhone Mail app to reply in plain text?

If I take the above preferences and change them from Arial 14 to Arial 144 I can get the body in about half of my current messages to display in 144 pt font.
It varies by mail client of sender and to which mail box it goes to on my Mac. Haven't found a commonality yet.
Someone here will have a brilliant answer, however.

How to magnify text in Mail App ?

How to magnify the mail text in Mail App ?
it is not problem in Gmail or Yahoo so why not magnify in Mail App ?

You can set a font size in Mail, Preferences, Fonts & Colors.
You can adjust font size on the fly by adding the "smaller-bigger" buttons to the toolbar. Open a message and then use "customize toolbar". You will have that button from then on.

Help, how to export emails from mail app

hi guys: I did not uncheck the box remove emails from the server after ..... so my hotmail on the server are gone. i want to have email copys stores on the server, since i need to check hotmails from any computer, not just on my home computer where the emails backup copys are stored. so i want to export my emails from the mail app in the mac back to hotmail server, how can i do that?? please give me a hand, i will really appreciate

You can do it via Mailbox>Archive Mailbox. And also, based on what you're saying you have Hotmail set up as an POP account in Mail. Don't know if Hotmail offers it, but if you set up the Hotmail account as IMAP in Mail then the behaviour will be different. You will have two copies of the emails on both the server as well as the computer. Go to Hotmail's help section and type in keyboards like "IMAP" and "Apple Mail."

How to make friends Apple Mail.app vs MS Exchange:-)

Hi,
Help me please to resolve my problems with Mail.app via Exchange. I can sent mail no futher than the Exchange local adresses. But I can't receive any mail at all. No SLL, IMAP/SMTP by default, all settings are correct in all layers of my account. It's absolutely true. I have no more ideas how to sync Mail with Exchange. May be I need to configure the Exchange but how? Could you send me Exchange'screenshots to [email protected] with IMAP layer and others you decide they necessary? I will be appreciated for any support. Thanks in advance.

Was an issue with Exchange public folders and IMAP clients (like MacMail)

How to switch country for iTunes/App store on iPad?

I have an iPad 3 and took it on vacation in Europe and the UK. Now that I'm back, if I try to update my apps on the iPad it indicates:
"Account Not in This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the UK store. You must switch to the US store before purchasing."
All well and good, except:
1. I never intentionally switched to the UK store and don't know how that occurred
2. There is no explanation on how to switch to the US store
3. Every menu I've looked at has no options to change the store that I use
Does anyone know how to fix this on my iPad? My iTunes account is fine on all of my other Apple devices, so it's just the iPad that is the problem.
Thanks.

Go to the App Store and tap on the featured tab. Swipe to the bottom and tap on your Apple ID. Next tap View Apple ID. Then enter your password. Go to Country/region in the popup window and change to the U.S. store in there.

How can I PIMP my Mail app? Any cool stuff I can add? Any customizable stuf

Hey Folks.
Just wondering what type of things I can do to my Mail app to PIMP it out! Anything you guys would recommend such as customize some stuff, any cool add ons? Any new visual layouts and stuff like that?
Let me know plz.
Thanks.
-Joey

Thanks Randy. appreciate it.
Orange - well it all depends on what you consider "PIMP" - maybe the world's only 7 star hotel? Or maybe, a camel worth nearly 4 000 000$ (check it out online, a camel was sold for that much)... so depends what your perspective on PIMP really is
