Mail Autosaves Drefts of Emails - Can I stop it?

I am using IMAP Gmail and when I'm writing an email, several times it ends up saving emails about every 20 seconds. is it possible to stop it from doing that? I looked in preferences, and saw nothing. any help would be appreciated.

Hello Sarah.
Be patient and allow the synchronization process with the server complete.
Afterwards, open "In" in the mailboxes drawer to reveal your AOL account's Inbox mailbox.
Select the mailbox in the drawer and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox and select Rebuild.
The account's Inbox mailbox will be re-synchronized with the server and hopefully this will resolve the problem.

Mail reduces pictures size - How can I stop this?

Hello,
Recently whenever I want to send a picture with a good resolution (for ex 2MB), Mail reduces it automatically down to 100 or 200 kb.... Ok I know it's better to send smaller attachement, but sometimes I want/need to send full resolution pictures. How can I stop mail from doing that? I looked in the preferences, I looked at the attachement window... can't find it. Please help because this is annoying.
Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

William you're my hero And as I suspected all along it was right under my nose the hole time but I had looked everywhere except below the message window
Thanks a lot

Mail is duplicating all emails-Can't delete or open

When I open Mail, the little wheel keeps spinning and spinning and every time I open it, I get a duplicate copy of every email I've received since Sept. 4. It won't let me delete or open mail. I've already called my service provider and it's set up right. Help!

Have a look at Mail menu, Prefs, Accounts, Advanced.
Is there a tick by > Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: (Is it set to One Month?)
After backing up your Mail folder, it may be worth trying Mailbox menu, Rebuild.

BB seems to pull mail from Gmail Spam folder - can I stop this?

Hi,
I just setup my BB for Gmail access (I have no BlackBerry email address, only Gmail), and at least a few spam emails managed to slip through.
Is it possible that the BB service pulls emails out of the Spam folder? If yes, can I prevent this?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ah, never mind - I just received another such spam email - and guess what:
Gmail did not recognize it as spam, so it went into the Inbox - that's why I got it!
The Spam folder does NOT get pushed to the BB, so I'm good :-)
Sorry about this.
But at least now this post may be useful for others who might make the same mistake I did...
Thanks for the answer, though!

How can I stop apple mail from autosaving drafts?

Hello all,
I have finally got myself a new computer and been immersed in the "new" way- my old mac was a bit like a volkswagen beetle, old and cranky but very efficient.
This new interlaced madness is proving to be very confusing on many levels but here I will state one problem I am seeking a solution to:
Apple mail autosaves a copy of my email reply drafts every 30 seconds in my apple mail draft folder. - This means many copies are saved!!!
How do I stop this?
The reason I ask this is for the following reasons:
1- If I don't send my reply after 30 seconds I have to manually delete the drafts.- I didn't know this until I was doing a little organising and have realised that I have quite a few drafts of the same message lying around in my google on mac (imap) "all mail" folder and these end up taking alot of space.
2- These then get transfered to my google mail "all mail" folder and end up taking up more space.
3- Manually deleting things from my google on mac "all mail" account is a pain in the *** because I need to delete it into the googletrash on mac and not any other deleting area. (unless I do it directly from gmail) I didn't know this until I had a read through google- the "all mail" archive is another pain in the ***.
I was deleting these messages from my mac "all mail" mailbox and they just magically reappeared into the same "all mail" mailbox, meaning they are downloaded from the server continually- I hate to think how much more that adds to data roaming.
Possible solutions I have tried out:
1- uncheck the "save draft on server" box in mail;preferences;mailbox behaviour (and saving it) - I did this and tried to write a message and there it appeared as each 30 seconds passed
2- change the mac mailbox behaviour settings to gmail Imap settings for apple mail and save these- as above, I wrote a message and it still appeared in my drafts folder, new, message appearing every 30 seconds.
3- uncheck the "use idle command if server suppors it" box in mail;preferences; accounts;advanced (as someone mentions in another forum) and the message still autosaves.
HELP!
1. This seems to be common with most people
2. I am using gmail and IMAP on mac book pro 2012 10.7.4, lion
3. This never happened with my volkswagen which was also a mac but from 2006
4. Some people say this is Imap related. I have only noticed it with this apple mail and have read it has been happening to people since 2008.
5. Look forward to new solutions

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step. I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

Hi furiousbalancing,
With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

I uploaded to Maverick and now my mail always cc's me on every email I send out. I have checked Preferences and the Composing Automatically CC button is unclicked. How can I stop this?

Sounds like your phone has the jitters.
This is sometimes caused when a DLL fle is missing when you restore, so the ipsw pacakge wasn't installed corectly.
You could back up and restore, but if it doesn't help go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and then download the same firmware your on.
Open up iTunes and hold Shift+Restore and select that firmware, you can't use anoy ther firmwares though.
Hope this helped

TS3899 I am getting 144+ emails a day from mail administrator. I do not recognize these names nor did I send them an email. How can I stop these???

I am getting 144+ emails a day from mail administrator. I do not recognize these names nor did I send them an email. How can I stop these???

We will need more information to be able to assist you.
These message yoy are receiving are probably just a particular type of spam. However it is also possible (unlikely) that your email account is being used to send spam, and that these are the bounce messages.
To tell the difference, you need to look at the email headers. Open the message, then go to the View menu and select Message -> All Headers.
Select the text and post it back here (remembering to obscure your own email address first).

Why is mail downloading all my old hotmail emails and how can i stop it?

I just got a new macbook pro retina and set up my mail accounts including my @hotmail.com address. (i did this on the standard mail app)
Now it's downloading ALL my hotmail emails on my macbook and marking them as unread.
I don't want this, how can I stop it from downloading thousands more old mails?

Do you have an app that is trying to download? If you have one it will constantly ask for your password until it is finished. (assuming you lost connection and it has to reconnect.)

Can I Stop Notification Mailer from Responding to Bad Emails?

Is there any way I can stop the Workflow Notification Mailer from responding to emails that he is unable to process? Sometimes emails may get sent out to email addresses that are no longer valid or no longer exists. Maybe the person left the company, the address was put in wrong, etc. This causes a situation here that is getting the system administrators rather annoyed. What's happening is this:
1. Notification Mailer sends an email to an email address.
2. That email address is invalid or doesn't exist so a return message is sent back to the mailer indicating this.
3. The Mailer doesn't know how to process this so he sends a message back to the UNIX mailer-daemon.
4. Any message to mailer-daemon really goes to root.
5. Any message to root, since this is a production system, gets forwarded to the sysadmins which fills up their mailbox with these emails!
Has anyone else experienced this and do you know of a way around it?
thanks...

Yes, you can use the tag file for the Notification Mailer to specify how your mail system identifies bounced, undeliverable,
or otherwise invalid messages and how you want the Notification Mailer to handle those messages. For example, you can
have the Mailer discard the invalid message and continue waiting for a valid response, or initiate an error process. The tag file
lists strings of text found in unusual messages and the status you want to assign to a message response if it contains any
of those strings. Use the TAGFILE configuration parameter for the Mailer to specify the location of the tag file.

Mail tries to upload 159 emails that I don't have. Can I stop it?

It says that I have 159 emails so it loads and loads and loads. Occacionally it shows me a few, no more than seven (seven that I already deleted from my aol account and maybe one is actually a new one) so I go and try to delete them. It never works, because eventually I get sick of waiting and so I force quit it. Then the next time that I go and try to open it, again it shows me around seven emails some being old ones as it tries to open the 159 non-existant emails. Can I stop it from this and just make it get me the emails that I know I actually have? Please help. Thanks a lot in advance.

I have three email accounts on my iPhone. one account is now constantly downloading old emails as unread. I am know into the thousands. How can I stop that

I have three email accounts on my iphone. one of the accounts is now constantly downloading old emails and marking them as unread. I can I stop this from happening?

iPhone mirrors the content of your accounts. You can turn off that account by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > account > turn off mail. Then access your email account via webmail/website and delete them there. Once you turn on the account again in your iPhone it wont download them all. Otherwise to leave it downloading then mark them all read once downloaded.

How can I stop my e-mails to come in automaticaly, i want to do it on my own.

I beleive that my usage it gets depleted by the automatic download of junk e-mail, how can i stop it and only receive e-mails manually.
thanks

Change your mail settings for each email account you are using on the iPhone. If you have them set to Push then turn Push off. If you have it set to Fetch then make sure you have the fetch frequency changed to manually so that it will only check for emails when you enter the mail app. Otherwise, it will check based on the time interval you have it set to.

How can I stop iPad setting up email account automatically

My email is my domain on Google apps.
When I add it as an imap account, iOS tries to set up automatically and somewhere is finding a really old mail server name from about five years ago before we switched to google apps.
So when it tries to send it is attempting to use this old server putting [email protected]@oldserver.com.
I can't stop it, and it is not listed in the smtp server list in settings, so I can't delete it.
Deeply frustrating as I can't send mail from my iPad. Can anyone help?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
