I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application

I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application. Is there a way to stop that? I can't find it in preferences. I have Check for new messages: Manually.
Also, don't want Mail to automatically download on my iPhone 4S and iPad 3.
Thanks

Hi ctconnor;
Since there are no virus for OS X, I seriously doubt that is what is causing your problem here.
My suggestion open System Preferences then Accounts followed by Login Items. Once there deselect Microsnot Word.

AppMarket-10.22.5.510 by Conduit Ltd wants me to download as an add-on. I don't want it but it keeps popping up when I open my computer.

When I start my computer AppMarket asks me to install this add-on. It reads:

I do not want this and I do not want it to pop up every time I turn my computer on.

hello AngelaEgen, you have various malicious addons present. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this wil keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

I don't want "most visited" pages to show up when I open a new tab

Is there a setting that allows me to disable having all my most recent pages visited showing up when I open a new tab?

This is what I did, hope this helps you:
# type about:config into the address bar
# Agree to not break anything at the prompt!
# Type "tab" in the search field at the top of the list
# Find the line that reads: browser.newtab.url
# Change the value to "about:blank"
# Close the config!

Default mail client does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb

Hi @ll,
default mail client on Ipad does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb
Do you know if is possible to change this setting?

We have this problem as well. Unfortunately after years of only supporting IE and finally rewriting our site to be standards compliant we are going to have to force users back to IE because of this issue. It's not feasible for us to walk users through changing the default viewer. The default should stay Adobe (if installed) until a more robust native version is available. I understand you want to promote free and open tools but if they don't work, it's just not good enough.

I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for mozilla to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer

None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? i understand that you don't want to see the music status come up on your lock screen, but what are you trying to do by clicking your home button at all?

When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted.

When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted. Any way for both the received and sent mail that resides there to be deleted?
I create a lot of project folders where i keep all my conversations regarding the project. Once the project is finished i would like to just delete the folder and get rid of all the emails associated with it but when i delete the folder i've noticed that only received messages are deleted. Now I am stuck trying to sort through my sent folder for messages that were returned there after the conversations was supposedly deleted.

Mail/Preferences/Viewing - un-check include related messages, delete the folder, then go back and reset yo include.

Can I STOP my powerbook from automatically waking up when I open my display

Hey all,
Have spent literally hours trying to find this, but I'm at a loss. Perhaps somebody knows.
The latch on my powerbook 12" 867mhz PowerBook broke off. Now the display regularly opens a little bit, even though it's in a protective case.
Does anybody know of a way that I can disable it automatically waking up when I open the display?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Antonie!
Not knowing where you found that info, I don't know if that is a correct command.
And I would guess that it is referring to entering the Command sudo pmset lidwake 0, in Terminal, which can be started from the Utilities folder.
But, because of the fact that the procedure was poorly written, I would hesiate to follow the advice, unless another poster, with more knowledge than I, of Terminal commands, confirms it is valid.
"When I open System Profiler -> Hardware -> Power -> System Power Settings it says that for both AC and Battery use "Wake on clamshell open: yes". I'd love for it say "no". How do I do that?"
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver: Are there any setting in there that can be adjusted.
EDIT: I found a site that Better explains the Terminal Command, and how to execute it.

HT1338 Problem with MAIL, when select names that start with "E" the mail freeze. Can't fix it.

Problem with MAIL, when select names that start with "E" the mail freeze. Can't fix it.

Now I checked the materials that I got from AT&T Yahoo and
port 25 is used as the outgoing mail port, 110 for incoming.
This is for the POP type account provided by AT&T, not necessarily for an email account and SMTP server not provided by AT&T.
Sounds like AT&T blocks using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by AT&T on Port 25.
Try the following first.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, we will go to plan B.

I have a 10.6.8 OS and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but when I try the applications tells me my computer can't support it

I have a 10.6.8 OS and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but when I try the applications tells me my computer can't support it. What does that mean. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and was told (by Mac Store) that after that I would be able to update to Mountain Lion.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You need 10.6.8 to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but it doesn't mean that your computer is compatible. Mountain Lion is compatible with Late 2008 Aluminum or Early 2009 MacBooks. If you have an older one, you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
If you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, open  > About this Mac, and tell me what processor and memory you have got. If you have a Intel Core 2 Duo or newer processor, you can upgrade to Lion. Call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Make a backup of your files before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

Mail notification without opening the application

Is there a way to have Mail notify that you have mail without actually opening the application. I noticed if I have the Mail application open, (but minimized) that within the Mail icon I will see a number of unopened emails identified.

There are a couple of Widgets that will do that for you. Fairly light apps.
Have a search here and see if there is something there that you like.
