Or respond with another intelligent answer of your own.
Who do you think you are? I am sure that you need no advice on where to put your attitude ... let's wait until you come up with anything other than insult you pointless addition to the thread.

Mail Spell Check started underlining all words as incorrect

Hi Folks.
This is my first post/question. I have searched for the answer on these forums and elsewhere but can't locate any suggestions. Forgive me if I have overlooked anything useful already posted.
My question relates to Spell Check in Mail.
For some reason, my spell check has started underlining all words with red squiggles with the exception of a few common words (eg 'the' 'and')
I'm not the best speller - but I'm not getting 98% of my word wrong. But Mail spell check thinks I am.
Does anyone know why this has started to happen and how it can be fixed?
Thanks

Thanks Tom. That solved the problem.
How strange that the dictionary switched to Spanish overnight.
Thanks again.

After downloading Firefox, my e-mail spell check doesn't work

for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
* You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

Mail Spell Check Needs a LOT of Work

How do we get Apple to make major improvements to their MAIL Program? I love the program and it's ease of use, but the SPELL CHECK adn GRAMMAR CHECK leaves a lot to be disired. I will NEVER say that Outlook is a better mail program BUT it does a superior job in handling these two functions.
This has cause me infinite problems as I always do NOT have time to go back and FIX what Apple has changed.
Presently I use my MacBookPro and my Mac Pro, and both have the problem. I just upgradedto Mountain Lion on my Notebook and it is no better.

Non - American English Language Mail Spell Check?

I am curious, is there a way to set up spell check in Mail so that it corrects for Canadian English instead of US English? Pages, does this - and in fact for numerous languages - nicely, but I haven't seen where one can do this in the Mail app. You know, odd items like "travelling" vs "traveling" or "colour" vs. "color". That sort of thing. Our British friends must have encountered similar issues, come to think of it. What do you all do?
Thanks,
john

Spot on, Tom! Good that you mentioned the 2 parts to the solution, because when I only changed the spelling in Prefs/Language, etc. nothing took place. I needed to also go to Edit/Spelling etc. as you point out. Also, I shut down and re-booted to enable everything.
Thanks kindly,
john

Mail spell check

When I am spell checking an email prior to sending, if I want to go back to modify the text, the document is sent if I press return. How do I modify the body of a document once in spell check? Related to this, how do I cancel out of spell check once in it so that I can make changes or additions to an email. Unlike Outlook and Entourage, Mail does not allow this.

Hi beneva, and a warm welcome to the forums!
You might well get an answer here, but this is Mail in 10.4.x, two revisions older than 10.6.x's Mail, you might get a better answer over here...

Mail Spell Check Issues

I'm having an issue with Mail in Leopard - when I first open Mail and start to compose a new email the spell checker (usually) works. However, after Mail has been open for a while, the spell checker stops working - without any error displayed.
I have the check spelling while typing option checked.
The spell checker does not flag miss-spelled words while I type and it does not recognize miss-spelled words if I try to spell check with Edit - Spelling and Grammar - Check Document Now.
I can typically get the spell checker to function again by quitting and restarting Mail.
Anyone else run into this?

Something similar just happen on my computer. Not only will Spell checker not show up at all, in any way, for Mail but also doesn't show up in Text Ed.

Mail spell check quit working

Spell checking in Mail on my iMac has recently quit working. All the settings are enabled the same as they always have been to check the spelling as I type, including that setting in Mail Preferences. I am using the most current OS and Mail version 4.3.
No matter what word I type misspelled, even the most obvious misspellings, it WILL underline it in red but when you click on it, it says No Guesses Found. Meanwhile, spell checking works just as it should on my MacBook.
Any ideas anyone?

Yes, that seemed to work. Thank you!
Sorry--in my first post, I said "I have it set to check mail as I type. " and I meant "check spelling as I type."
Thanks again.

Mail spell check goes through the ENTIRE email looking for misspellings

Is there anyway when you use spell check in mail that it won't go through the ENTIRE message and just use the part that you have typed. Example: When you respond to an email from someone it spell checks their email as well. Any suggestions?

Hi,
In Preferences under "Composing" you could check "Check Spelling as I type". that will hold it in your reply only. You can either correct it right away (it gets underlined), or wait till later and do them all at the same time by going to Edit> Spelling> Check Spelling ( or the Command-semi-colon keys hit together) they will come up one-by-one for correction.
This is about the easiest way to do it.
Enjoy

Mail spell check hangs on last misspelled word

Hi everybody,
I have a bit of a dilemma that is quite annoying, and I would love it not to be. My spell checker in Mail (OSX 10.4.10) hangs on the last word when spell checking a message. I am able to check my spelling and choose Ignore/Guess/Correct etc. but when it reaches the end of my email it stops. Spell check will identify the misspelled word, but will not allow me to make corrections or ignore the word like it used to. The familiar tone and empty spell check box is no longer to be found.
But this does work in textedit! No problems what so ever. I have tried to scour these forums and tried a few things, but still nothing. I have also noticed this problem occurs in another user account.
I have checked the Ownership and Permissions of the spell checker file, deleted preference files, re-installed Mail by itself, performed an archive and install, completely reinstalled OSX and still nothing.
So now if any of you have an idea please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

You're welcome.
I do not have that checked
Well, you should. Leaving messages on the server indefinitely may end up clogging up your mail account there and cause this kind of problems. Just specify After one week or After one month if you don't want messages to be removed from the server immediately.

Mail - spell checking dilemma

I recently turned off the function for spell check to underline words it feels are misspelled. Instead I opted to have the email spell checked after I press send and correct from there. I figured a few "changes" and a few "ignores", and off it goes.
Unfortunately I find that the spell check proceeds to correct my email and the email I am replying to. This prolongs the spell check beyond what I had hoped to do: correct my mistakes and my mistakes only.
I know my aging parents don't spell very well, but is there a way to tell the spell check function to only correct my reply? I don't need to correct the email I am replying to as well.

Thanks--I found it interesting! Especially when Spell Check quit working for me, too.
Very weird.
I went back and selected 'Correct Spelling Automatically' in Text Edit-- that works, but I don't like it either. Whoops, only intermittently. I just looked again and that's not working now. Wow, no restart of computer and I hadn't closed Text Edit-yet it stopped working.
Spell checking seems to be behaving badly. It will not underline in mail--until I change a misspelled word....and then only sometimes. At the best it's intermittent.
I hope someone found it interesting enough to fix w/the next system update...

Can iCloud mail be checked on snow leopard too?

If I migrate my MobileMe email to iCloud on my MacBook air and iPhone 4 but my office iMac is on snow leopard, will this be a problem?

You should still be able to set up IMAP mail in your Mail app, though you'll need to use the server information for iCloud specifically. Just don't expect Apple to help you get this set up.

Mail Spell Check not working

I've tried resetting the PRAM (option + command + p + r, waiting for 2nd chime when restarting) but it's still not working.
I have it set to check mail as I type.

Yes, that seemed to work. Thank you!

Spell check in iOS Mac mail

I don't know if I'm in the correct area? I have the basic iMac Desktop. If I'm the wrong
area maybe you could show me where I'm supposed to be?
My q is re: Mail/Spell Check? I feel I'm not doing it correctly bec the corrections(if any?)
are not very good. I recently switched from Microsoft to Mac. The Microsoft was very
good but I can't believe Microsoft is better?
