Is there a way to configure Mac Mail ...?

I have an IMac desktop, a MacBook & a 4th generation IPod Touch.  As it now stands whenever I receive email it goes to all 3 devices necessitating the need to physically read and/or delete the messages from all 3 devices.  Is there some way to configure Mac Mail to eliminate these steps or do I just have to keep manually removing mail messages as I'm now doing?
Thanks for any help you may have.

Create your accounts for IMAP instead of POP.
Here's a little youtube explaining the difference (ignore the sales pitch).
imap vs pop - what do they do?
In Apple Mail preferences, Accounts, when you go to set up a new mail account you click the plus in the lower left as usual.  When the Add account sheet is displayed if you press the option key while clicking the Continue button you will be given a window to define the account as POP or IMAP.
Alternatively if you enter an invalid email address into the Add Account window and juct click Continue (no option key) you will again be given the IMAP/POP choice.  This technique I think will work in the other itoys as well.

  • My macbook pro mail client freezes on launch...is there any way to reinstall mac mail?

    Until a few days ago my mac mail worked just fine but now every time I try to start the mail client it freezes (rainbow rotating symbol). I have tried disk utility to try and repair the disk and it shows everything is fine. If there was a way to uninstall mac mail and then re-install it it might work but I don't know how to go about doing that. Would appreciate guidance on this.

    You would need to have enabled iCloud on your MBP. Your question indicated you did not.
    Its serial number is useful for establishing ownership should the MBP be recovered. File a police report.

    Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

    Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
    If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

  • Is there a way to use Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar with a Microsoft Exchange Server that requires a client certificate ?

    I have an Exchange server configured to require a client certificate. Is there a way to configure a certificate for Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar ? There seems to be no option in the account settings to do that (in contrast to for example the IMAP settings).
    Any help highly appreciated !

    I don't know. Try downloading the certificate and installing it in your keychain. See what happens.

  • Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS

    Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS. This unit should be joining a Windows Server 2008 R2 network and needs to be shared with all users. This unit will replace a File server running Win 2003 SP2.
    Message was edited by: Hermann Koster
    Thank you very much for your reply. The idea is to decommission the Windows file server which is running Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system but is not running as a DC but just a member server. All this server is doing is providing file server services so my idea is to replace it with the NSS 324 box. My only concern is that when my NSS joins the domain all my users would be able to see and access network shares transparently, the same way they saw the former W2003 file server. After I transferred the data from File server I will use the same for NSS that was used for file server as well as same IP address and folders path as before.
    Any suggestions or advice?
    Once again thank you very much for your reply.
    Cheers,

    The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS.  This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
    You can connect to an external HDD via a  USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
    You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
    Hope that helps!!

  • Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts

    Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file

    Hi everyone!
    Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities: 
    "The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
    Let's keep looking guys... 

  • Is there a way to disable push mail from Yahoo? It's draining my battery

    I'm on the prepaid plan and every 10-15 minutes my iphone turns on with a "The last transaction cost $0.00" message. I don't mind the message (although it is a bit annoying) but my problem is that this turns the LCD on for about 2 minutes at a time.
    I charged my battery to 100% last night, haven't used it at all today and after just turning it on a few minutes ago I had the "Your battery life is at 10%" message followed by a 5% remaining message a few minutes later.
    I've heard that it's the yahoo push mail service thats causing the phone to give the message (since it connects to the internet). My Yahoo account is my main one and I'd hate to have to login to yahoo's site each time to check it (the email functionality was a big selling point for me with the iphone). ATT/Apple don't seem to want to disable this message/"Feature", so I'm guessing I would need to step in and do something on my end.
    Is there any way to disable yahoo mail from "pushing" messages to my phone? I can hit the Check Mail button if I have to.

    Hi Everyone,
    To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
    Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
    I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
    I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
    I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail

    None that I'm aware of but with the iPhone SDK - software developers kit being released at the end of next month, a 3rd party software developer may provide an avenue for this function and you can leave Apple feedback about this here.

  • Is there a way to recover deleted mail from my iPad and recover deleted messages from my onw iPhone?

    Is there a way to recover deleted mails sent from iPad and/or recover deleted messages from my iPhone?
    A software or even open it? It is very important for me get back the messages sent on December. I did not have a back up at that time, at least that I know, but I change my iPhone and had as I got a micro chip, I could take my contacts from iTunes.
    Does it means a back up was done at the Note book I used that time or the messages are lost?
    And my mails? From my server, I can recover only from 5 last days!
    Thank you for any help!!

    Thanks for replying - no, I had not done a backup since the shots were taken and then attemped to put them in an album as I did not want to change the enviornment of the phone from when I had inadvertently delted them.   Unfortunatlely, when asked "Do you want to delete these photos from all locations," I hit yes and they were also deleted from my Photostream.

  • HT2500 Why is there no way to assign Junk Mail to a Spam file in my Yahoo?

    Why is there no way to assign Junk Mail to a Spam file in my OSX Mail App - Yahoo account. I can do it online at Yahoo, but not thru OSX Mail App? And why is there no 'NOT JUNK' button to restore items mistakenly sent to Junk Mail? There is in the G-mail file on the App (I think!).

    There normally is a thumbs up button in the top of the e-mail which allows you to mark it as not junk. The screen shot shows a thumbs down, but replace that with a thumbs up.

  • Is there a way to Configure "Silent Monitoring" in CUCM with the following conditions: ?

    Is there a way to Configure "Silent Monitoring" in CUCM with the following conditions: ?
    -no UCCX platform
    -cisco phone is CP-6941.
    I have read some cisco docs pertaining to Barge and cBarge, however i see that as one-to-one arrangement.
    Is there a way to configure in cucm, something like an ad-hoc conference wherein the Observer will
    just call the extension number to be observed?
    or something like "service observed" feature in Avaya wherein the Observer will dial a particular
    passcode followed by the extension # of the agent, then he is able to observe the on-going call.

    You can do continous recording using SPAN ports or DMS with 3rd party products like Verint Impact 360.
    not sure about the legalities around that though.

  • Is there any way to configure storage queue message encoding for Web Job's QueueTrigger?

    We have a web job that listens to Azure storage queue via QueueTrigger. The queue messages are not encoded when they are added to the queue:
    CloudStorageAccount account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("...");
    CloudQueueClient client = account.CreateCloudQueueClient();
    CloudQueue queue = client.GetQueueReference("test1");
    queue.EncodeMessage = false;
    queue.AddMessage(new CloudQueueMessage("hello world"));
    And in the web job, we use the below method to listen to the queue.
    public static Task ProcessQueueMessageAsync([QueueTrigger("test1")]string message)
    And the web job crashes when it gets a message, with the below output. Unfortunately we cannot control the encode setting of the coming messages. So, our question is, is there any way to configure queue message encoding for Web Job's QueueTrigger?
    Thank you for any help and/or suggestion.

    Hi,

    I am not too sure if the storage queue messages can be encoded before the webjob listens to it.
    I am currently researching to gather more information with regards to your request.
    I shall revert back to you with an update at the earliest.
    Sincerely appreciate your patience.
