Hyperlinks from mail slow to open

Whenever a hyperlink in mail is selected mail goes into a 'Not responding' mode for 45 to 50 seconds before opening. Mail will then continue to work normally until another hyperlink is selected.

I'm not sure how to tell what the size of my largest Mailbox is, but it has about 130 messages.
Unless some cron script or other utility rebuilds mailboxes, never. I just rebuilt them and will keep you up to date.
Again,
Thanks ... G

I am using Firefox 32 and OSX 10.7.5 Suddenly hyperlinks in Mail will not open in Firefox - it jumps to Firefox but nothing opens.

I'm pretty sure I have used hyperlinks from the Mac Mail program since I upgraded to Firefox 32. A couple days ago, when I clicked on a link in an email, it jumps to Firefox but no new tab with web page opens. If I close Firefox, then clink on the link in mail, Firefox opens with the desired web page. I have verified that Firefox is my default browser. I have opened in Safe mode. I have reset Firefox to default. I have tried links from multiple emails. Nothing changes this problem. I have not downloaded any additional software since upgrading to Firefox 32. I am perplexed.

In about:config, browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external is set at -1.
Yes, Firefox is already open when I click on the link embedded into an email message. If I copy and paste the link, it opens the web page with no problem. Also, if I right-click on the link in the email (usually embedded behind a button) and select "Open Link Behind Mail," it will also open the web page, however it does not jump to a Firefox window, I need to go there manually.
If Firefox is closed when I click on the link in the email message, the browser will open with the linked web page.
Here are all my browser.link.open settings:
browser.link.open_newwindow;3
browser.link.open_newwindow.disabled_in_fullscreen;true
browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external;-1
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction;2

Safari 8.0.2 updated on the 20Jan2015 and Link from Mail do not open | Advertisement pages opens | Blank page do not open on new window click, etc

Hi!
Safari 8.0.2 was last updated on the 20Jan2015 and is my default browser.
Below listed are issues with Safari after last two updates.
When I click web link from mail, Safari does not open that link. I changed to Chrome browsing & it works.
When I click to open new window from the dock, I get last browsing page of the previous opened window web page, where by my setting is for a bank page for a new safari window. .
Every time I click on the link to open in the same browsing web page, a new tab opens with advertisement web page. How can I stop advertisement pages to open automatically.
Safari does not open first time by one finger single click on the safari icon from dock, need two finger click and then select the preferences.
Thanks, will await your assistance & if required updated version at the soonest.

Mail slow to open messages

I'm running a Core Duo MacBook Pro, 2GB RAM, OS X 10.5.5.
Recently (and I'm not sure if this followed an update or not), I've been having serious lack-of-speed issues with Mail. When I open a message, the window pops up immediately, followed quickly (sometimes a slight delay but usually not a perceptible one) by the headers. It then takes about 40-45 seconds (counting to 40-one-thousand, haven't used a stopwatch) for the message body to come up.
This happens with emails from both POP and IMAP accounts, in both my inbox as well as "normal" folders on my Mac. I do have a decent number of accounts (some POP, some IMAP) and a whole lot of mail saved on my Mac, but that's been true since before I started having this problem.
I've tried rebuilding a mailbox, and it didn't ameliorate the problem.
Any other thoughts appreciated.

I am a heavy email user - 100 to 200 emails a day sometimes. My Apple Mail was so slow that I got in the habit of clicking on an email and then going to another application to keep working and check back from time to time to see the email opened. I'd then read it, click on another and repeat the process. a serious drag on productivity. I came across this tip on another site and it worked very well for me. Not sure how long it will last.
Here is the link:

Here is the meat of the post:
+You can check your current 'envelope archive' size by entering this in the terminal:+
+ls -lah ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index+
+Then to optimise it (cleans out stuff that has been marked for deletion but not actually deleted, defragments the structure, etc):+
+sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum;+
+Then check your envelope archive size again to see the results…+
+ls -lah ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index+
+It compacted my envelope archive down from 55MB to 50MB — not a huge increase, but the speed difference was dramatic.+

Firefox 32.0.1 installed on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and links from Mail no longer open. Click a link and Firefox opens, but the link doesn't appear or activate.

Some users have a similar problem to this, but if FireFox is already open the link from their mail client will activate in FireFox. For me, once I click a link in an email, FireFox immediately becomes the active application, but nothing further happens. FireFox has been the default browser for ages, but I stopped that, and set Safari as the default. Then quitting and re-opening FireFox I re-established it as the default browser, but the problem persists.

It amuses me that the email that was sent to confirm the posting of this question had a clickable link. Naturally that link did not work. Cutting and pasting it into FireFox allowed me to complete the posting process. Annoying.

Default page size settings in TEXT FILES SAVED FROM MAIL

I regularly save emails as rtf files (either with or without attachments) and sometimes return to print them with TextEdit.
I'm in Ireland, where our standard paper size is as most European countries, i.e. A4.
My 'Default Paper Size in Page Setup' is set in the Print & Fax pane in *System Preferences* as A4.
If I select 'Page Setup...' in Mail to print direct from the Application, it defaults as you'd expect to A4.
If I make a fresh text file with TextEdit, it also defaults to A4.
But if I 'Save As...' from Mail and then open the resulting file in TextEdit (or Word, for example) I find it has been saved with a US Letter Page Setup. Can I change this setting? If so, where?

I think I see where the confusion is.
I'm not talking about file attachments (the 'Save Attachments...' function in the File menu). What I'm talking about is the saving of the email as an rtf file (the 'Save As...' function). When you select 'Save As...' there's a further pull-down menu for format that allows you to save it as one of 3 options: Rich Text Format, Plain Text OR Raw Message Source. I want to save it as Rich Text which preserves fonts, bold type etc.
Mail clearly can create such files (I have several GB of saved emails that says so!) - what I want to figure out is if there's a way to control the way it sets the page size in those files as it does so.

Mail hyperlinks open in safari, but screen is not automatically moving from mail to safari, only manually

Hello,
i'm facing already for some time an issue that i can get solved unfortunately.
After OS update towards mountian lion (i believe, but not sure), a hyperlink in an email is opened in Safari, but my screen is not automatically swapping towards safari from mail. Not if i'm working on the desktop, nor working in full screen mode. I need to move manually to the other screen, to see the webpage opening.
In the past it was working, but I can't find the settings to get this solved. Today I've update to Yosemite, and it didn't solve this for me.
Who can help me? It is really appreciated
thanks
Ruighe

IPad Air too much time to open a link from Mail

SInce the last update to iOS 8.02 my iPad Air takes too much time to open a web link from the Mail App, Safari open itself with a long delay.
furthermore The attachments into email are often not readable, have to reload the message to be able to open the attachment.
LAst but not least, I have too many messages not downloaded from the iMap server and I can read just the title of it.

There's a large thread around about this Dolphin problem.
Disabling Nepomuk in System Settings has proved to be the
cure in many cases.

Is a Windows registry error responsible for Firefox opening two browser windows whenever I use a hyperlink from a Word file?

Whenever I use a hyperlink from an MS Word document, Firefox opens two windows instead of one. The first window is the one I need. The second contains a message that the page could not be found and the address bar contains the URL appended with "Firefoxhtml/shell/open/command".
This problem is similar but NOT identical to one in MozillaZine headed "Windows error opening internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox". But none of the solutions in that article work for my problem: I've disabled all extensions but that hasn't helped. I've tried editing file types so that the DDE is removed (I'm not a teccie so have no idea what that means), but after following the instructions to the letter it doesn't seem to remove the DDE. Also I read that removing the DDE is not a good idea for people like me who need to open numerous firefox browser windows at one time. Furthermore, the MozzilaZine article refers only to problems opening a URL link in a MS Outlook email when Firefox is NOT running. My problem concerns the opening of URL links in MS Word when Firefox IS running!
I've run countless different virus programmes, rootkit checkers etc but they all come up blank. However, I did come across guidance on this website: http://antivirus.about.com/od/windowsbasics/a/shellopen.htm which suggests that something may have altered the shell open command for two registry keys used by Firefox.
# HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\open\command
# HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htfile\shell\open\command
The default value for each of these should be "%1" %*. But on my user, the default value reads:
(for htafile) c:\windows\system32\mshta.exe "%1"%*
(for htfile) c:\programfiles\windowsNT\hypertrm.exe"%1
What should the value be for these two files?
Can anyone sort this for me please? Bear in mind I'm not a teccie!

Why can't I open word docs from mail anymore?

Am on 10.8.2 on Macbook Air and doc and docx attachments tell me to choose application to open the doc with and won't open when I choose "Word"
These used to be opened automatically by Word, not I have to manually choose Pages as the only option
Am I missing something?

Don't see how I can choose the file from within Word as it's not saved anywhere?
I have now discovered if I drag the file from mail on to the WORD icon in the doc it will open....seems much clumsier than the old option of clicking on the file to open it
Opening attached pics seems to require the same action as well using iphoto.
A bit of a step back in my opinion....
Save the word file from the email to your Mac (have you never saved an attachment before)?
Post back when you can do as I asked you to.
And remember that we are trying to find out what is wrong, don't be so snappy!
haha...point taken. Wasn't feeling 'snappy' when I typed it, not intended as such...!
If I save it somewhere as you suggested I can then open it
also, as I mentioned if I drag the doc onto WORD in the dock it opens that way as well

Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open. Help please.

You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

Links from Mail and other apps don't go to open copy of Firefox but attempt to open a second copy, so I get "A copy of Firefox is already open," FF 22, OS10.8.4

Links from within Firefox windows open new tab, but links within Mail, MSWord, and other apps attempt to open another copy of Firefox, and I get the "Close Firefox: A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." This just started happening less than a week ago. I don't know when FF updated to version 22.0.

My problem seems to be fixed--I cannot reproduce it now, though it had been consistently happening for the past 3-4 days. The suggestions above do not seem to apply in any case: I do not want to open another instance of Firefox but simply to connect with the one that is already running; and I do not seem to have a .parentlock file.
If the problem returns, I'll be back. Meanwhile, thanks for the suggestions.
