Is there a way to receive emails without keeping the Mail app running?

I tried looking under a few places to change the notification options, but I can't seem to figure it out help!

You're not alone. It seems that there is a bug with push and Apple is not addressing the problem verbally.
There are a few options people are trying, but they only provide a temporary fix that will not last more than a few hours.
e.g. Reset network, delete account/hard reset, turn push off/on in a specific order.
All we can do is report and wait, sorry.
Cheers

Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?
You know , I am an OCD . I alway's close my Mail app and miss many important new emails .

What I do is open the Mail.app, then click the red traffic light (upper left corner of the main Mail.app window) to close that window. The app itself will remain running and you will get updates - this helps keep the desktop tidy while while the mail app remains running. When an update is received, simply click the either the mail icon in your dock or go to the Mail.app menu and click Window > Message Viewer.

HT1414 I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. It will randomly open applications, send emails suddenly before I am finished writing them, and much more. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

Hi, jbgatch.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Our iOS devices use a capacitive touch screen and with it being winter in most places, a buildup of static electricity can cause the touch screen to act erratic. Start with closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device. If using a screen protector, remove it and test without it installed. Some cases that include a screen protector can cause this issue as well. Try the remainder of the steps in the attached article below. If the issue persists, a restore as new may been needed. Make sure to backup your data prior to a restore.

I want to download an app, but i can't because i have forgotten my security questions. Is there a way to change them without needing the old ones?

I want to download an app, but i can't because i have forgotten my security questions. Is there a way to change them without needing the old ones?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Is there any way to use flash without all the bloated code?

I want to put a flash player on my site, however with dreamweaver the "insert movie" option puts a ton code in my markup to the point where i cant even tell what im looking at. Is there any way to use flash without all the bloat?

Yes and no. Some bloat as you call it is necessary to support all browsers. That said, this on-line tool takes your Flash code and converts it to valid XHTML Strict standards. In the process, the code is minimized a bit. Be sure to test in an XHTML Strict doc type page.

Is there a way to import tracks without using the mouse in Logic Pro?

From the user manual:
You can import existing audio recordings by simply dragging them from the Media area, shown at the right of the Arrange window.
My question is: is there a way to do this without dragging it with a mouse? I'd like to use a shortcut to open a browse folder and select a file. The reason for this is that I am nearly blind and I can't use my mouse for dragging because I can't see it.
Thanks in advance.

Can't see the mouse pointer.. even if you increase it's size using the Accessibilites features in OS X's System preferences...?

I'm having trouble setting up my Google Apps for Education email address in the mail app

I have tried several times and different ways to add my .edu email account to the iOs system through the mail app on both my mac and my iphone. It is run through Google apps for education, so it uses gmail as a platform but is addressed as my school's title. On a few occasions it wouldn't accept it to add, on others it connected but wouldn't access the email account once it was added.

The approaches available may differ depending upon which operating system you have. I am running OS 10.8.4 and on my computer, the following works:
Go to System Preferences and select Mail, Contacts, & Calendars.
From the right, choose Gmail; this should open an dialogue box, where you should enter:
Your name (as you wish it to appear)
Email address (should include the @whatever.edu, where whatever is the appropriate university extension--it should be .edu, not gmail.com)
The password on the account.
Choose the applications you want to sync with your computer and click Add Account. You will probably get an error about Mail Server Discovery, but click Continue anyway.
Launch your Mail application and it should have you setup your account. Choose/enter the following:
Account type: IMAP
Title Description: (put whatever you want the account titled, it's up to you)
Incoming Mail Server: type in imap.gmail.com
User Name: put your full email username, including the @whatever.edu
Password: put your email password again
Configure the outgoing mail server with:
Description: whatever you want it called
Outgoing Mail server: type in smtp.gmail.com
Check the option Use Authentication
Username: type your full username, including the @whatever.edu
Enter your password and click Continue and then Create.
That should be it.

How to limit the number of emails synced through the Mail app?

The Mail app is syncing all of my emails... even those that are like from than a year ago and older... I don't need them, I'd rather get rid of them and free up some storage space if possible.. The Mail app is currently taking around 5GB of my storage space!!! please help?!

You can't limit it to the last 50 messages, but you can limit it to the last 1000 messages in each "folder" (label).
Go to the Gmail website and click on the gear icon to the top-right side.
Click on Settings.
Click on the "Forwarding and IMAP/POP" tab across the top of the Settings area.
Towards the bottom of the IMAP section, change the "Folder Size Limit" setting to "Limit IMAP folders to contain no more than this many messages". By default 1000 is selected, though you can also choose 2000, 5000, or 10000.
Click Save Changes at the bottom.

Is there a way to send email without opening Mail.app?

Hello,
I would like to be able to send email using either an Applescript or a shell script that would send email without opening Mail.app. The ideal solution would be using an account and settings (such SSL encryption of my password) that are stored in mail.app. However, if that is not possible, I could set up another email account to be used just for the purpose I have in mind so I don't have to worry about my password being exposed in clear text.
I've seen Applescripts that open Mail.app and then hide it in the background but the key requirement for my particular need is that Mail.app never open during the send process. I synchronize my email between my iMac and my Powerbook using Chronosync so it is critical that none of the files that store or index the actual mail in Mail.app be opened so as not to alter their modification dates.
Thank you,
James

If you upgrade to 10.4 there is a widget that will let you compose and send mail without opening Mail.
Here's two other options.
1. Does your isp have a web based email?
2. Download a program like thunderbird for email. When you configure it end phony information for incoming mail and only fill in the correct infor for outgoing mail.

Is there a way to erase data without reinstalling the system?

Hi
I have an old PowerMac G5 that I want to sell. I want to erase the hard drive, but I no longer have the system disks. Is there any way to erase the data without reinstalling the system?

Hi-
You could set up a new user (Administration) account, and then delete the old user account that has data related to it.
Once that is done, if you want a more secure elimination of the data (so it cannot be scavenged) clone the drive to a second drive, and then you can erase and write zeros to the first drive.
Reclone the cloned version back, and you should have a very clean, "fresh" system drive.
Use SuperDuper! for the cloning.
Mind you, I haven't tried that process, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Keep a copy of the system drive (backup), just in case......

Someone deleted my Messages.app from my mac. Is there a way to reinstall it without resinstalling the whole OS?

I work at a company and I inherited a newish macbook pro from a former employee. When I got it Messages.app and Calendar.app were missing. I copied Calendar from a coworker's computer and it works fine but when I tried it with messages the app is totally broken. Is there a place where I can install the application from?
Thanks in advance!

HI,
As you may know an app's icon can be removed from the DOCK by simply clicking and dragging it off the DOCK and then letting go.
You may also know that this does not delete the app and that it remains in Applications.
At this point you don't know if the previous user was used to sticking similar app in folders of their own making.
For instance creating a Messaging App Folder and sticking in MSN, Yahoo for Mac and Messages and even FaceTime.
For Apple Apps and Updates this can be a problem as the apps such as Messages are not found as they as in the "wrong" place.
At this point it is possible to have such a Folder and have iChat in it (which still will not work as all the ancillary apps and Frameworks will not match) and this will not have been upgraded at the Lion to Mountain Lion Upgrade.
Only a Restore will sort this.
If however the computer has only had Mountain Lion then moving the Messages app out of any containing folder in to the Applications Folder an then running the Combo version of OS X 10.8.4 may restore it's full function.
This is a long shot as Messages was actually updated to version 7.0.1 in the OS X 10.8.2 update but there were behind the scenes changes at OS X 10.8.4 that were supposed to address the Out of Order iMessages Issue.
Realistically a Restore is much more likely to sort this.

How can I edit received emails in Apple's Mail app? Also, delayed sending of replies?

I finally switched to Apple's Mail app 4 months ago after 12 years of using Eudora (because of the inevitable - that Lion or Mountain Lion, when I upgrade, will not support the foundation architecture that Eudora is built on).
There are (AT LEAST) two functions available in Eudora that I very much want to do with Mail and currently cannot figure out how to do. I'm hoping that someone knows of a plugin that will do these functions, or will write such a plugin, or will tell me how to make this suggestion to Apple to include in a future update.
1) I want the freedom to EDIT a received message - to correct a subject line, or make it more relevant for my reference, or add a key word/prefix to the subject for future searching and archiving, along with being able to edit the message itself, so that it is the equivalent in a book (or an eBook) of adding comments/marginalia for future reference. (In my opinion, once I receive an email message, it is MINE - so I should be able to do what I want with it (which includes the responsibility of not rewriting a message to resend to appear as deceptive or fraudulent).
2) Write up a draft email, that would reside in the "Send" folder of Eudora, and for which I could select a time in the future that it should be mailed (dependent on the fact that Eudora would be running at that time, else it would send the next time Eudora was opened. I would LOVE to be able to do that in Apple Mail. Rationale: Often, when I receive an actionable email, I want to respond at that moment while the subject is fresh, but due to priorities or scheduling reasons, I don't want the response to go out just then. Maybe I want the response to go out after an event three days from now, but I want to process the message right now, and I don't want to have to remember to make a ToDo item to remind me in 3 days.

Thanks, a brody.
That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....
