HUGE e-mail downloading, how can I stop it?
Every time I load Mail and check my emails I get the download icon rotating endlessly - this only started two nights ago but no matter how long I wait one email doesn't finish downloading, and believe it or not I've left the Mac running for over eight hours! Smaller emails load ok but this huge file seems to be taking forever even on 512k broadband. I have to force-quit Mail to stop the download but everytime I restart, there it is again. How on earth can I get rid of this file, or check what it is? I'm not expecting anything and it's really annoying!!
Hi Folks - thanks for your replies so far!
To clarify - this message has been wiped from my server by webmail access and my inbox there is now empty (pop3 account); however the message in my inbox (and all 11 copies) is quite strange in that firstly there is no visible content until I click on the header - when it appears as an undeliverable mail message - and secondly it is marked as junk (Mail thinks this message is junk) but does not moved automatically to the junk folder and I have to do so manually, whereupon they all disappear from the inbox. Once I close and return to the inbox, there they are again. They don't appear in the junk even when I try to manually move them. This is off-line. I cannot find them and cannot delete them, but everytime I return to the inbox after trying to wipe them, there they are again - plus one more! It's very very annoying!

My iPhone 4s keeps undeleting emails that I have already read and sent to the trash. I even empty the trash and it will redeliver the emails as new emails a few mi utes later. How do I stop this? Thanks!
Are you syncing your phone with iTunes and then with iCloud? This can cause duplicates. Sync with one or the other, but not both.

How can I stop auto download of attachments without tapping on them? Once I open a mail, the attachment automatically starts downloading, though it is written as "tap to download". Please help..
To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.

Why is mail downloading all my old hotmail emails and how can i stop it?
I just got a new macbook pro retina and set up my mail accounts including my @hotmail.com address. (i did this on the standard mail app)
Now it's downloading ALL my hotmail emails on my macbook and marking them as unread.
I don't want this, how can I stop it from downloading thousands more old mails?Do you have an app that is trying to download? If you have one it will constantly ask for your password until it is finished. (assuming you lost connection and it has to reconnect.)

How can I stop my e-mails to come in automaticaly, i want to do it on my own.
I beleive that my usage it gets depleted by the automatic download of junk e-mail, how can i stop it and only receive e-mails manually.
thanksChange your mail settings for each email account you are using on the iPhone. If you have them set to Push then turn Push off. If you have it set to Fetch then make sure you have the fetch frequency changed to manually so that it will only check for emails when you enter the mail app. Otherwise, it will check based on the time interval you have it set to.

I uploaded to Maverick and now my mail always cc's me on every email I send out. I have checked Preferences and the Composing Automatically CC button is unclicked. How can I stop this?
Sounds like your phone has the jitters.
This is sometimes caused when a DLL fle is missing when you restore, so the ipsw pacakge wasn't installed corectly.
You could back up and restore, but if it doesn't help go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and then download the same firmware your on.
Open up iTunes and hold Shift+Restore and select that firmware, you can't use anoy ther firmwares though.
Hope this helped -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?
How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step. I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.Hi furiousbalancing,
With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

How can I stop mail from opening single page attachments.
I open some mail attachments in Notetaker app to make adjustments to some pages before sending on but when an attachment is only a single page it opens in the email message itself and then I can't open it. How can I stop this happening?
Hopefully thanks in advance
JohnHi Dave! This may help if you should want to save your emails to your computer which AM can do.
--Open Mail
--From Application Toolbar choose MAIL
--Choose ACCOUNTS from Mail tool bar
--Choose "Account Information"
--In the bottom right hand box -- Choose the "drop down box" (blue arrows) and Choose the mail box you want to send mail from
--Check "Use only this server". (Safari has a drop down on their tool bar that allows you to choose which box you want to send from.)
Go to Safari or a Web Page and send an email message. See if this works.
Of course, I'm assuming you have filled in the Account information for all your mailboxes. If not, that's a whole different procedure but well worth the effort, all your mailboxes are at your fingertips and you can save all your mail to your computer, back it up and never loose a word. :-)
Another caveat: I am using OS X 10.6.8 and the later versions of OS X may have dropped or modified Mail. Perhaps someone using one of the newer versions can add their knowledge here.
AM has many useful perks, it just takes time to find them but they really are worth the effort.
