Is there a way to delete the mail program or cancel so it doesn't open automatically

The Apple mail program pops up in the dock and opens automatically.  As I use other mail programs this pop up  is annoying and there must be a way to eliminate or cancel soot doesnot continually pop up?
I've tried to hide it but it comes back after awhile.  It also is open in background as it always seems to stop shutdowns and restarts.

You may have Mail.app as one of your log-in items - check Users & Groups and your user name to see if it is a log-in item.
The only other reason that the app would automatically launch is that you have it open when you restart or shutdown and have 'reopen windows..." ticked when you shutdown or restart.

    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 delete the Apple ID on one device (IPhone 5) and replace the ID on that device with an existing ID used on three other devices?

    Is there a way to delete the Apple ID used on one device (IPhone5) and replace it with another ID that is being used on three other devices?

    If you have turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My you will have to start by turning that off - requires entering the Apple ID password.  Then remove the Apple ID from all places it is used, i.e., Messages, FaceTime, and so on.  Go to the App Store and then Sign Out.  Now you can enter the desired Apple ID and password in all of those places.

  • Is there a way to stop the mail icon from bouncing

    Hi all.  Is there a way to stop the mail icon from bouncing on the dock when a new message is received?  It's irritating.  I'm running Lion.  Thanks.

    Thank you Linc.  I knew that I did something in system preferences to cause it to bounce, but couldn't remember what I did.  I appreciate your help!  Kelly

  • I duplicated all the pictures in my library. Is there any way to delete the duplicates at one time without going and deleting them one by one

    I duplicated all my pictures. Is there any way to delete the duplicates without deleting them one at a time. I now have 44,000 pictures and have 22,000 duplicates

    Easiest solution: restore from your back up.
    Other than that: For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator or Decloner

  • Is there a way to DELETE the local mac library after iCloud upload?

    I've uploaded 75GB of photos to iCloud, and would now LOVE to reclaim that space in my meagre 250 GB Mac Book Pro.
    Now that I've paid my iClouds photo subscription, is there a way to delete the local Photos library and reclaim that space?
    FYI the "optimized" version is 72 GB.
    Thanks,

    Just for clarity, I am not referring to the iPhotos library. I am referring to the newly created Photos library. Since I plan not to use iPhoto and Aperture anymore, I am moving the iPhotos old library to an external HD. My question is whether I can delete the newly created Photos library from my hard drive since I'm paying for online storage and have successfully imported 75 GB of photos to iCloud.

  • Is there a way to delete the Library Slide Show?

    Is there a way to delete the Library Slide Show? It references a lot of old images that are no longer on my hard drive, and it looks like it will take ages to click on Cancel for every no-longer-existant image. Can I delete the whole slide show somehow? (It won't let me do it from within the program as far as I can see).
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Then try deleting the library again.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HT1451 i have and can find all duplicates in my library - after i find them is there a way to delete the other than one at a time

    i have and can find all duplicates in my library - after i find them is there a way to delete them (in mass) other than deleting one at a time?

    The only way they would all come over is if your wife had automatic downloads turned on in her store settings on the phone before she downloaded the apps. A popup for this option also comes up when you first sign into an apple id on the phone in the app store. If she didn't have that setting turned on, she'll have to download them one by one.
    She could also try to sync them over from a computer that has itunes on it

  • HT4897 Is there a way to delete the first alias created that's labeled imap?

    I created an icloud email address I no longer want to use. I see ways of creating a new alias but no way of deleting the first one that's labeled imap. Help!

    No, your iTunes account is completely separate and does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud (or other services).
    To create a new account and migrate your data to the new account, first save any photo stream photos that you want to keep that aren't already backed up by opening your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Also save any iWork documents you may be syncing with iCloud.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, and when prompted, choose Keep on My [iDevice].  Then sign in with a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom, which will require a separate non-Apple email that must be verified).  Next, turn you iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.  When you turn Mail to On, you will be prompted to choose your @icloud.com email address, which must be different than your old one.
    Note: you can only create a limited number of iCloud accounts on a single iOS device, so you can only do this a limited number of times.  (While this number isn't documented, I believe it's three.)

  • Is there any way to delete the favorites folder from the mac mail sidebar?

    I recently made the mistake of flagging two email messages. Immediately I now see a "Flagged" icon in my Mac Mail sidebar, right under the Inbox. I the "unflagged" the messages. They went away but the Flagged icon won't. It now seems to be a permanent fixture of my mail sidebar. Is there any way to move, relocate or delete a mailbox icon you don't use and don't want to see?

    There's no "downgrade" from OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard Server to client.
    Acquire the current OS X client software, boot the DVD and use Disk Utility to erase the target disk, and reinstall the software.
    Leaving the box with the server software running, with the services stopped, adds negligible performance overhead.  If any.

  • IS THERE A WAY TO DELETE E-MAILS LIKE ON BLACKBERRY

    I am a new iphone 4s user, that just switched from Blackberry.  So far, love the phone with two exceptions.  One can't be fixed, other than me learning to use this touchscreen keyboard.  The other I'm hoping you users will help me with.  On my blackberry i could choose to delete the e-mail from the phone and leave it on my computer or choose to delete it from the computer as well.  Is there a way to do this?  Also, is there a way that i can totally clear out all my emails on the phone so only new ones show up, not 50 old ones? 
    Again, love the phone so I'm not bashing, just want to figure out how to get it more like what i was used to.  Thanks
    Fin

    No.
    Different from a Blackberry, the iPhone's Mail app communicates direct with the incoming mail server for an email account no different from accessing an email account with an email client on your computer. Email accounts accessed with a Blackberry are routed through RIM's dedicated email delivery service for the Blackberry that provides options not otherwise avaialble with an email client that communicates direct with the incoming mail server for each email account that is accessed with the iPhone's Mail app.

  • HT4528 Is there a way of deleting the 16,000 verizon technician allow on my i phone when he set up the new verizon settings.  Like loading to the computer and then erasing all, which you cannot do on the phone

    Is there any way of getting rid of the 16,000 e mail on my 4s by load onto the computer and then deleting all.  The  phone only allows you to delete one at a time.

    Delete the account and all the emails will go with it.

  • Help! Is there a way to rebuild the mail archive? all mail scrambled...

    All my archive is scrambled... The emails are connected to the incorrect "from", "subject" etc. in the finder. I'll highlight, for example, an email from "susan x." in the mail finder and the email attached to that will be a totally unrelated email from a different person or company or something. It is a complete mess.
    Is there any way to fix this?

  • I have "doubles" of all my songs in my library.  Is there a way to delete the "extra" without doing it one at a time?

    I have "doubles" of all songs in my library due to my ignorance about transferring from old computer to new.  Is there a way to delte all of the extras without doijng it one-by-one?

    I have tried rebooting, but everything was still frozen afterward.  I've considered doing a restore on the computer, but that would probably wipe all of my saved information out as it's never been connected with the computer before. Also, during a restore, it asks you to confirm information on your iphone screen, which is impossible to do with it being frozen.
