How do you get Hyperlinks to work in MAIL signature?

Hi,
I need help.....How does one get Hyperlinks to work in MAIL signature?..when I do this is turns blue and IS underlined (as usual) but the link doe not work ..any thoughts???..
also any one have ideas on how to select and group email from the same source in MAIL (like EUDORA does)...???
thanks in advance
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

sonic,
There is a known bug in Mail 2.1 associated not only with the inclusion of hyperlinks in sigs., but also the association of sigs with accounts.

Firefox opens when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in my Outlook 2003 program, but does not go to the URL in the link. It used to work before I re-installed my MS XP Pro 64 bit OS. Help!

At first, after I re-installed the OS, nothing would happen when I clicked on an e-mail hyperlink. So I went to Folder Options in Control Panel and associated Firefox with the E-mail file type. Firefox then opened when I clicked on a hyperlink in an e-mail, but just opens to the Firefox start page ("Blank page"). Firefox does not open the URL in the hyperlink. I need guidance as to how to restore this function which worked perfectly before I had to re-install the OS due to a corrupted program installer. I have run the MS Office Detect and Repair function twice--both times indicating that everything is fine--but it does not make a difference in fixing the Firefox function.
NEW: An attempt to click on the link in Security Center to go to Microsoft Update brings up an error message that reads: "The requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context." I have no idea what this means, but I suspect it is related to the lack of ability to open Firefox to a link URL.
See the uploaded screen print(JPEG) below.
UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED!! Searched on error message on line, solution fixed problem. THANKS ANYWAY

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

Yahoo Mail Bug

I recently read the Macworld article on fixing the Yahoo Mail Bug when sending email with Mac Mail. I have a question since I have the exact problem he writes about.
I changed the settings like Yahoo asked me to do.
I double checked them after reading the article. I was able to easily find how to "enable SSL for my POP server and override the default POP port with port 465"
But I am not sure how to:
"Enable SSL for your SMTP server and select to override the default SMTP port with port 465."
Where do I find the SSL for the SMTP? I have already looked into the Mail > Preferences. There I find the POP server settings, but no SMTP. ???
I get my mail from att / yahoo....just can't send via my Mail app.
THANK you for any help.
Margie

Thank you very much for your quick and kind response. I appreciate it and have fixed the problem. I didn't see the Advanced options prior to your email for the SMTP ~ and you've helped me considerably. Thanks

Why when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail does Firefox open the website twice?

Firefox i my default browser. When I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail two Firefox windows open at once, not one.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.<br />
You can try to disable all extension to see if it still happens.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If it works in Safe mode or with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
You can also check for issues caused by DDE.

When I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail Firefox will not start

If Firefox is already running, clicking a hyperlink in an e-mail, takes me right there.
BUT if Firefox is NOT already running, clicking on a link does NOTHING!

Yosemite outgoing mail bugs

I've had a host of brand new outgoing mail bugs again. I've truned off the auto-detect options in mail pref MANY times and somehow they just keep coming back. Yahoo is especially affected. I'm stuck in the hospital trying to get paper-work to lawyers and accountants to try and wrap up affairs and this issues is making it difficult to even know what's going out and when. I paid for the dependability/ reliability of an Apple product, and feel cheated. It shouldn't take decades for Apple to be able to include a reliable mail client in it's OS. Seems like the new crop of outgoing errors started up again around new years and hasn't abated yet. Tried reinstalling the OS from recovery window hoping mail would come along for the ride -- and got a message that the servers weren't available -- to try again later. Well I've tried over the course of several days -- al with the same result. MBP is about to become "spare parts" and I'm looking at a chrome system for my home with a good NAS server for my needs. Brand loyalty can be lost over time.
Me- two MBP - 2011. Shopping now for new dev machine.
Household - one 1Phone 6 for partner, 1 iPhone 3gs for me
Household - 3 2nd gen iPads- wifi only
Household -1 airport extreme
Household - 2 time capsuls - one is new, the other a couple of years old
Household - 1 Apple TV
Household - 3 airport express units to play music around the house
ME - developer with more than 5 apps in App Store.

Easy fix that worked for me instantly: Click Connection Doctor when the dialogue box opens. Double click the text in details. Click Advanced tab. Change username from "johndoe @ gmail.com" to simply "johndoe". And to be extra cautious, re-enter your password.
This can also be achieved by going to Mail-->Settings-->Accounts.
If that doesn't work, perhaps go back to Mountain Lion and wait this issue (and a few others) out for a couple months. Please let me know if this works for you.

ZipEntry with umlaut

Following code is crashing if zip file contain file with umlaut character in it's name.
ZipEntry zipEntry = (ZipEntry) enum.nextElement();
InputStream instrm = zipFile.getInputStream(zipEntry);
File unzippedFile = new File(file.getParent(), zipEntry.getName());//.getName() returns "?" on umlaut place
FileOutputStream outstrm = new FileOutputStream(unzippedFile);
int bytesRead = instrm.read(buf, 0, 1024);//Null pointer exception...
Does somebody have an idea how to avoid this happens?
The problem take place only with ZipEntry. Normally I can work with files which contain umlauts in the name.
Thanks!!!

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Help with OSX server mail setup

Please if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful. I have a company with an externaly hosted website and an an internally hosted email (OSX server). I have everything kind of working, but some things don't seem quite right. I'll explain below:
I have a purchased domain: mycompany.com hosted by godaddy.
I am using Godaddy name servers: ns65.domaincontrol.com and ns66.domaincontrol.com
The external godaddy DNS has an a name entry for my mail server: mail pointing to 123.123.123.123 (which is my companies external static IP address).
There is also a null (@) a name record for my website hosting service (squarespace) pointing to 456.456.456.456
There is a cName record www pointing to the squarespace domain "www.squarespace6.com" (know this is unusual, but it is how squarespace asks this to be set up and does not work otherwise)
There is an MX record with priority 10 and host name @ pointing to mail.mycompany.com
I have a airport extreme router with the appropriate ports forwarded to the OSX server.
The DNS servers on the router are pointed to the internal IP address of the OSX server
I did not change the domain name on the router (mistake?) it is currently san.rr.com
On the OSX server I have set up host name to be mycompany.comDNS is set up with primary zone being mycompany.com
Primary Zone entries include
nameserver = mycompany.com
machine record host name is mycompany.com and the IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server
another machine record with host name "mail" and IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server.
Finally, there is a mail exchanger record with mail server "mail.mycompany.com" and priority 10
There are 2 entries autocreated in the Reverse zone
Mail is setup and running on the OSX server providing mail for "mail.mycompany.com"
Users are setup with email address: [email protected] (note: without the mail subdomain - I think this is OK?)
I am using self signed certificate.
In my clients (windows Thunderbird, Mac Mail, iOS mail), the settings are for the incoming mail server host name to be "mail.mycompany.com" and the outgoing also to be "mail.mycompany.com"
I woud have expected this to be imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com respectively, but it doesn't work when I input these values and works with the former. Have I set this up wrong?? imap seems to require SSL on port 993 and SMTP seems to require TLS on port 587.Outlook on PC gives me an error that after googling appears to be a problem with not recognizing a fuly qualified hostname form the SMTP client. I see the fix, but wanted to know if that meant that my server didn't have a fully qualified host name and whether I should change that rather than just remove that restriction???
The final problem is that my outgoing emails seem to be getting caught up in other people's spam filters too frequently. What is the main reason for this? Is it because I have set something up wrong and it brings up flags or is it simply because I am not a huge hosting company, or somethign else althogether?
If you've gotten this far, big thanks! If you can help me, even more thanks!

Well, actually they are both getting caught up in spam filters and bounced back. I actually realized that part of the problem is that I have a dynamic IP address, but it doesn't change. Regardless, on the bounce back it looks like hotmail and other domains are rejecting email from my IP and recognize it as dynamic. This was a test server that i would by physically taking to my business where there is a static business IP address (Cox).
Sorry for the very long original message, but it seems that most people don't post enough information for the problem to be solved in their original posts and I was hoping to provide as much detail as possible.
The other is the question of "are things set up right?" It seems strange to me that both my outgoing and incoming servers are "mail.mycompany.com" and not imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com and I wonder if this is going to cause me to have problems?
Is it a problem that my email addresses are [email protected] and not [email protected]?
Was I supposed to change the domain name on the router?
Also is it going to be a problem that I am using a self signed certificate?

Since switching to Firefox this week, when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in Outlook, I get this message, "General failure. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." It doesn't open a new window or do anything.

Compatible issues firefox v37.0.2 with att yahoo mail

Compatible issues firefox v37.0.2 with att yahoo mail
Hello: this is my first post,hope I am doing it properly.
I am using W7pro OS and ATT DSL 3.0Mbps dl
I noticed this week that I was unable to save attachments from my ATT Yahoo mail I could view them but no choice as to ware to save them--only choice (save to my comp.)But no ware to be found.
I reinstalled v 36.0.4-preventing auto upgrade-But still had same problem.
At this point contacted ATT support supervisor-we spent about 4hr working on problem--He was using your v 31.5.0--and had no problem accessing and saving attachments using remolt access on my comp.
We also found using my comp.FF v 36.0.4 & v 37.0.2 browser,that we could without any problems access an save attachments--AOL mail-- & mail2web.--& IE--Even when forwarding inaccessible mail to above sites.
He informed me that (ATT mail Yahoo)only uses resources to make them compatible with--Google IE & Chrome &Apple? (basically he was saying,that they would NOT commit resources to FF--any version)BUT he was not allowed to commit.
PS: The last time I know it worked ok was 3-18-15 I have 3 comp.2 wxp pro 1 w7 pro the same problem on all 3--so feel confident not OS related-but compatible problems with FF & yahoo mail.
The ATT support supervisor-was unable to determined the date they may have made changes on their site.without extensive research-which we decided wasn't worth the effort as they wouldn't look in to it.
I hope someone or FF will be able find a workaround-as I do not want to use the browsers they suggest. I LOVE FF.
Thank You Gary

I have no idea what you are asking me to do ??--can you explain at a dummy
level--I wont be offended.

How can i use Mail on 2 macs with the same mail address?

Hi,
I have two Macs, connected through WLAN. From each Mac I can use Mail (sending and receiving) with the same mail address. This worked well; on each Mac I have separate files storing the mails (input, sent, trash, …).
Some days ago I had to change the provider. (Perhaps this may be the reason for my problem?) Now both mail systems are connected - in the way that if I put on Mac *1 a mail into the trash it is automatically thrown into the trash on Mac *2.
What is to be done to separate the two systems (i. e. make them independent of each other)?
Hans

It looks like you are using a IMAP mail account, a protocol used by most email providers nowadays. Read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol
The main feature of IMAP is the sync of all the changes you do on your mail account. If you want to keep your mails on one Mac, have a look at this site -> http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3908294

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.
