ICloud alias pop-up menu in Apple Mail – how to limit choices?

Now that Apple has added @icloud to the options for .mac/.me e-mail addresses, my menu of aliases has become too cluttered. See pic below for what I have to scroll through to pick everytime I create a new message.
There's got to be some way to remove all the @icloud aliases from the menu, isn't there?
Help?

U-verse may use Yahoo servers -- meaning that Yahoo owns and manages them for AT&T, or vice versa -- but at least in my case, not the same physical servers. My U-verse servers are inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net.
I've had my bellsouth.net account for years and it did use a something.yahoo.something, and I accessed it via my Charter Cable provider. But when I swiched to U-verse last month, it didn't work and I had to change my server settings to att.net using POP3.
My specific Yahoo account was one I accessed only rarely, and I used the web; I never bothered to set it up in Apple Mail. Indications at Yahoo.com mail help pages are that you do indeed need the paid-for POP access. They refer to it as POP forwarding, but there seems to be no way to get past it and tell them that I don't want to "forward" -- I just want to access.

How to edit drop-down contacts menu in apple mail?

I would appreciate if someone could tell me where I can edit the drop-down contacts menu in apple mail? I'm talking about which email address suggestions appear when you start to type a name of a contact. I've done it in the past but have unfortunately forgotten where to access this list.

If you are asking about addresses that are not in your Address Book, they are listed in Windows > Previous Recipients.

My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this

my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.

Apple Mail: How can I automatically set a signature, depending on the sender, NOT on the account?

Apple Mail: How can I automatically set a signature, depending on the sender (have several for one account), NOT on the account?
I have some comma-separated senders in my Apple Mail accounts, some for business, some for private (using the same account). When I'm sending a business mail, I would like to append my business signature, when I send a private one, either nothing, or a fun signature.
Best,

karenbee,
Here's the solution for PCs: Tools>Options, then click Sync in the Options window. Good luck.

Mountain Lion: on the Notification Center notification and Mail: how to limit notifications to an email account?

Mountain Lion: on the Notification Center notification and Mail:
how to limit notifications to an email account?
At least, is it possible to choose what email account, the arrival of a message launch a notification.
When running more than a dozen e-mail accounts, it may be appropriate to display only the notifications of one or two major accounts.

Which os are you using? Which Mail version are you using?

Image size pop up menu missing in mail window

Tonight I was about to resize an attachment (a photo) in the Mail message window, but discovered that the image size pop up menu that used to appear at the bottom of the mail window is no longer there! I tried quitting Mail and launching it again, restarted the computer (a 2003 iMac G4 running Tiger), and repaired permissions. Any ideas on how I might get the image size pop up menu back again? Thanks.

Seems there must be something messed up on the HD.
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
The important part is to Repair the Disk before Repairing Permissions.

Pop gmail issues with apple mail

I have one pop gmail account for two macs and two iphones. Normally we can retrieve email from each device. however, when my wife's macbook pro retrieves the messages using apple mail, the messages remain on the server but none of the other devices can retreive the same mail. My gmail is set up for pop. So the messages stay on the server until i personally remove them.
why can't our other apple devices retrieve the email that is still on the server after my wife's macbook pro accesses the server and retrieves the email?
thanks for your help.
hnhelton

I have each device to leave message on the server. We have it set up this way so that my wife and I can see all the mail that comes into our own devices. Then we can delete off each device as desired. I go in to the server once a month and delete old mail.
So to recap: My wife's macpro uses apple mail. it retrieves the mail from the server; but leaves it on the server. However, though the email is still on the server, the other devices cannot retrieve the email. it is like the email is old email that your device has already uploaded; but it hasn't uploaded to the other devices because my wife's mac opens the inbox on server first.
I know that this sounds confusing. it did not always work this way. for a long time any of our devices could open the inbox on the server, retrieve the messages and leave the email on the server inbox for the other devices. this issue is new.

When I loaded the security update my iCloud email stopped getting sent to Apple mail...only to iCloud on the web. What to do?

When I installed the security update my iMac sent all my iCloud emails to iCloud mail on the web and not to Apple Mail where my main email address is and where I like to work. What to do?

Quit Mail, the run Repair Disk Permissions at least 2x in Disk Utility. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. Then restart normally and test, if the problem persists please post back.

HT201342 In Apple Mail, how do I change the default outgoing address for mailboxes that I've set up?

In Apple Mail (Yosemite on a MacBook Pro), the default address for outgoing messages from mailboxes that I've set up that are *not* tied to separate email accounts has suddenly become my iCloud address (which I almost never use). I've got my default set to use whatever address is the default for the mailbox I'm in. This works fine for mailboxes associated with different mail accounts, and until recently it worked fine for mailboxes that I had set up for convenience, using my default email address (which is an Earthlink address I've had for many years). Somewhere within the last year, perhaps with an upgrade to the OS, I've found that outgoing mail from one of those mailboxes (but not from the general Inbox) defaults to my iCloud address. I have to manually choose a different address each time (which is hard to remember to do). This is new behavior, and very unwelcome. But I can see no way to change the default email address associated with each mailbox.
How do I undo this unwanted connection?

Hi everyone
Sorry however I'm experiencing a similiar issue, in that I have 10 differing email accounts.
However in the default email accounts, for some bizarre reason, only 4 show, being icloud, one of my older yahoo email accounts, my work email and then "From My PC".
I run two other businesses of which I have a proper Google Mail Business Accountsfor each, but non of my google email address show in the default list.
Is there any reason why?
I actually want one of those to show.
I have put my google mail to the top of the inbox, however it still doesn't show?
I've also put the default calendar as my google business account but still the default account doesn't display.
Any ideas?
Jonathan

In Apple Mail, how can I maintaining Mailbox links when migrating hosting?

First, I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered. If so, please kindly point me to the appropriate discussion.
I'm in the process of changing hosting for one of my (several) websites and email addresses. I have been using Apple Mail succesfully with the site email using IMAP for several years, and have many thousands of messages, many of which that have been moved into different folders in Mac Mail locally (not the IMAP folders). What I'd like to know is if it's possible to maintain all of these links during and after I migrate my website and all server mail to a new hosting company. I'm very paranoid that all of my links (to mail in those boxes, and relationships to sent mail) will be lost, and that all that mail will simply redownload to the primary Inbox.
On a separate note, I'd also like to know if, once the above issue has been addressed and resolved, it's possible to copy my entire Mail application to another computer so that I can keep a mirror copy of two mail applications fucntioning like an exchange server. Meaning, if I download one piece of mail on one computer, it will automatically be downloaded and marked as read on the other *and* if that mail is moved to a local Mail folder, if it will be moved on the other computer in the other Mail application. Basically so that all mail and mail relationships stay in sync across multiple machines.
Hope this question makes sense. I'm happy to elaborate, and am appreciative of any help.

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched. The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server. If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company. This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders? Are there any major advantages to using them?

Apple Mail: How do I add contacts to address book?

In the Apple Mail program, there is an option to add sender to address book. But when I do that, it just adds the sender to my address book, oftentimes without a name associated to the contact. So that contact could easily get lost.
I'd like to be able to add a sender from Apple Mail, then, at a later point, go to the address book and review who I've added, and edit their information.
Is there a way to add the sender to the address book, and have that contact added to a default folder within address book. That way I could later go back and review a bunch of contacts I've added at the same time. Thanks.

Adding an address to Address Book opens Address Book so that you can edit the card before saving it. Is that not happening for you, or is that happening but you want to ignore it until you're ready to go add other information?
If the latter, you could always create a smart group in Address Book with the criteria "Name" "is not set". Then just go in now and then and add names to everything in that group. Of course, the problem with this technique is you may have to go back and find that address in Mail and refresh your memory as to who it belongs to. It would probably be quicker, overall, to just add the name at the time you're adding the contact.

Apple Mail database size limit?

I recently screwed up my Entourage database by allowing it to get too big and lost a lot of info. I switched to Apple mail, which works fine, but am worried about same thing happening coz its getting big.
1. Is there a limit to the size of this database.
2. Is there any maintenance that needs to be done, like Entourage?

Douglas,
Back in October, Allan Sampson responded to a similar question you poised, and included a link -- that discussion can still be found at:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=718074#718074
An article, to which Allan linked, suggested that individual mailboxes should be kept below 2 GB -- the totality of the database (all mailboxes) has no limit other than disk space on the computer.
Mail has the command to remove attachments, but leave the text of messages, as well. Hope this helps.
Erasure of deleted messages is a good idea, and as Allan mentioned, a command to Rebuild a mailbox is available -- Rebuild causes Mail to redo its table of contents info, and is probably a good idea to use on occasion.
Ernie
