Mail Client Requires Some Discipline

This is a 2 part question regarding the native mail client within Snow Leopard:
Question 1. When I use Chrome within windows and I click on an email link a window opens up with my gmail account "compose" page with the email link already populated so I can compose and send my email.
When I do the same thing on my mac from within Safari it opens my apple email client which is what I DO NOT want it to do, I want it to act the same way it does under windows (opens up my gmail account).
How (if possible) can I accomplish this?
Question 2. When I open the apple email client it immediately goes out to the servers to retrieve email, which I DO NOT want it to do, what I want is for the client to open and do nothing until either I configure it to do something or sit there until I manually tell it to poll the mail servers.
How (if possible) can I accomplish this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

You can't, in Safari. Maybe you can in the Mac version of Chrome, I wouldn't know.

Sending mail with mail client failure problem

My installation config :
Solaris 10
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
single host installation
since past few days , I encounter a new problem with SJMS after finish installation . When using mail client Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 , sending mail message to outside email providers / non-local (e.g correctly typed yahoo/gmail) domain always failed whenever I use from outside networks/Internet ( smtp setting in mail client require username and password authentication ) . however,users between the same local domain is OK .
The thunderbird always prompt :
" The mail server responded: Recipient address rejected: User unknown. Please check the message recipients and try again "
The problem does not occured when I was using inside LAN and connected locally with the server host .
but, I am able and succesful to telnet to port 25 using command via outside the network, indicating the port and server not being blocked by firewall :
telnet smtp.abcxyz.com 25

any help is welcome.
Thanks

I would be good to have the full output from the "imsimta version" command. That gives OS information too, which may not be pertinent to this specific problem, but it is better to give all the info than for us to wish we had it.
Also, what is the full, exact error message you get when you try this with telnet to port 25 and it fails? It may be significant to see the exact text because it could be coming from some intermediate device rather than the Messaging Server itself.
If you are getting connected to the Messaging Server's MTA, you should find some indication of this in the mail.log_current file. If not, I would say to make sure the "logging" keyword is on the "defaults" channel and add LOG_CONNECTION=3 LOG_PROCESS=1 LOG_USERNAME=1 to option.dat and do imsimta cnbuild; and imsimta restart dispatcher. Then repeat the test. If you still get nothing in mail.log_current about that test, then I would conclude the connection is not getting to the Messaging Server's MTA but rather the failure is coming from a firewall or some other intermediate device.
If your mail client authenticates to the MTA when trying to send mail from outside your network, this should result in the message submission being switched to the tcp_auth channel instead of tcp_local and that should allow the message to go thru. If the connect is making it to the MTA and being rejected there, it will be interesting to see which channel is involved. The mail.log_current records should show that.

TS3276 Hello all, I am getting the following message with some emails I receive:- HTML enabled email client required to read this email. I don't really understand this and don't know what to do to allow me to open the email. Any help? Thanks, Alex

Hello all, I am getting the following message with some emails I receive:- HTML enabled email client required to read this email. I really don't understand this message, am non techy, would anyone know how I can open and read the email? Thanks very much for any help, Alex

In Mail I suggest you try 'View->Message->Plain text alternative'.
Why? In multipart/alternative messages, such as this, the text/plain version should precede the text/html version, but Toyota have swapped them around. By default mail clients display the second version, assuming it to be HTML.
Very strange.

Hi - for some reason, my IPAD3 mail client has decided it can no longer connect to my Exchange server.

Hi - for some reason, my IPAD3 mail client has decided it can no longer connect to my Exchange server. It's worked like a charm for weeks. Any thoughts?
For the record, I've got a POP mail account that is working fine on the machine and the WIFI is up and running (Safari is loading fine).
Thanks

Hi Jim,
Your issue is the most FAQ in the forums, it is an ongoing problem with Tiger waiting to be fixed by Apple. Till then, forget your aliases and use either Command-K or from the Finder Go-->Connect to Server and enter the remote Mac's IP address to connect.
Also, Open Utilities-->Terminal and type lookupd -flushcache (Press Return) and reboot. Do this for both macs.

This is regarding CBMA in SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.

This is regarding CBMA in single stack SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the alert mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.
So I need to set up PI to redirect mails to ECC Business workplace user inbox (sbwp). From here rules are set up & routed per distribution list.
Please guide me how I can achieve this requirement.

Hi,
yes, it is a little bit different. This is the issue.....
But I am not sure if your links will help:
1) /people/william.li/blog/2008/02/13/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-using-graphical-variable
is about a different solution. I do not need to count the number of lines of the source message.
And the second variable is about concat line by line from unbound node to unbound node.
My issue is:
Souce:
Message line (0...unbound) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
.    ResultLine   (1..1)
Mapping:
=>   ResultLine1
       ResultLine2
       ResultLine........          => into UDF to an element (1..1) in one mapping operation.
So that all "ResultLine"s are included.
The result is explained in the given link for Mail attachment with UDF.
So I am not sure how to use this thread for my issue.
In the comments of that blog Christoph Gerber writes that the new variable feature can only handle single values.
So it is not suitable for my purposes as I have a list of values here that needs to be moved into the target message field.
2) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Java/UsingEditJavaSectioninMessageMapping
shows where to find the button "Java section" which is not available here in 7.1
3) /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/10/01/xi-new-features-in-sp14
too is about the nice little button for Java Section that is no longer existing on PI 7.1 screen for mappings.
So my issue is: How to replace the Java section function with global variables in PI 7.1?
Best regards
Dirk

Outlook (former Hotmail) Forum says I need to get a "Mail Client" that works with 10.4.11

Hello Apple Friends:
I have a PowerBook G4 still running Tiger 10.4.11.
Unfortunately, due to virus concerns and spam at work, I have had to use non-apple mail such as Hotmail for well over a decade now. Not a problem! Mac works fine. But the folks over in the "Microsoft" (delete that word after reading it) group felt their Hotmail was too old fashioned and jazzed it up and are calling it Outlook now.
And Hotmail/new Outlook no longer works like it did before on the Tiger OSX of course!
After over a month and reading dozens of Emails (about 20 which I sent myself) to various Forums and help groups, the latest "advice" is that I go searching for an "old style" "Mail client" whatever that is.... that will work with Tiger 10.4.11. And install and transfer it somehow, hopefully without losing or deleting 17 years of contacts and Email, transfer over to using it for my Outlook (I looked at some others who have the great modern Mountain Lion etc OSX systems and read their posts about this and they had significant problems using the new Outlook too.
Problem is, I deal with many very stubborn people who are just not going to spend the time and effort needed to "convert" my "hotmail" address into anything new to replace it, not even counting how many weeks of effort, missed emails messed up communications this will entail and last far into 2014 I'm sure.
The best hope is that someone knows of a "Legacy" site with older mail clients on it (or even older browsers than my Safari 4.1.3 in case someone thinks that is the problem (I also tried it with Firefox, but only can have up to 3.6.28 and TenFoxFour is not highly recommended as it creates unstable computers occassionally)
So I'm caught in the middle trying to upgrade older Mac and without the funds needed to purchase one that has Intel Chip in it for use with something higher than Leopard so I can use the Hotmail/Outlook again.
Sorry for long message, but I wanted to cover all the bases in case someone is searching the data base of the Forum in later months, and hopefully someone else here has has similiar total frustration with trying to continue using the "M--------" free Email product.
While I'm on the topic, I wondered if the .Mac was an Email client?   I had it once but long ago subscrption elapsed and got notice that it became "mobile me" or something like that....just covering all the bases since Apple has so many more choices.
Thanks for reading all of this complicated (you should only see the other Emails!) question. (sorry products and username are wrong for this message can't get the hang of editing them "before" I think of writing the message!).

Hi BDAqua:
Just catching up to your earlier suggestions so hope this is not taken as anything less than the excellent advice and fantastic support you have given me here..
I cannot use the current edition of Sea Monkey 2.17.1 as System Requirements are : 10.6 Minimum, and I have Tiger 10.4.11 max in "non-Intel" G4
Note also that reading details (I always do) I cannot just jump to that one if I could or wanted to as too old a Sea Monkey at 1.1.19. They say to upgrade to 2.0 first, then reset the "profile" page (does anyone remember my password or even what Email I used back in 2004??) before moving on to upgrade (use it at least once in new profile of course!)
So I copied them first here for anyone else's information:
System Requirements, Installation and Uninstallation
Before installing, make sure your computer meets the system requirements. SeaMonkey 2.17.1 will no longer offer to migrate your data from SeaMonkey 1.x or Mozilla 1.x at the first start after installation (bug 689437). In order to upgrade from such an old version, install the last SeaMonkey 2.0 release first, do the one-time profile upgrade, uninstall SeaMonkey 2.0 and then install your target release (e.g. this one).
You can find more details about installation, profile data and uninstallation in our install and uninstall document.
Here are the specifics of Minimum Requirements of Sea Monkey 2.17.1 version:
Mac
Operating Systems
Mac OS X 10.6 or higher
Minimum Hardware
Macintosh computer with an Intel processor
200 MB of free hard drive space
Older System Sea monkey 2.0 requirements are ::
Mac
Operating Systems
Mac OS X "Tiger" (10.4)
Mac OS X "Leopard" (10.5)
Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" (10.6)
Minimum Hardware
Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 or PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
256 MB RAM
200 MB of free hard drive space
But..... Caution signs are EVERYWHERE not to download or use this anymore.....
(I know my 1.1.19 is really old but so old no one bothers with it anymore?? but newer ones may have huge security loophole for viruses etc....
Sea Monkey 2.0.14 Warns:
Released April 28, 2011
WARNING! The SeaMonkey version available for download from this page is outdated and suffers from known security vulnerabilities. This page is only available for historic reference.
We strongly advise you to download the current release instead.
So I'm sorry if I could not follow your instructions and get a better Sea Monkey Experience as well..... I'm just using existing one as another browser in addition to the newer ones provided as I use them for different purposes, i.e. Sea Monkey can be great for just interrupted "look ups" on google, etc of a quick definition and then closing it, so nothing complicated, no Java/Adobe Flash ads requirements, etc in and out that's all.
Then I can leave my major browsing and using Email Hotmail/Outllook which prompted this whole exploration of solutions for the two brand new browsers TenFourFox and OmniWeb..
Thanks again to everyone! I replied to everyone below in addition to this reply above to BDAqua....

A hint if you use multiple mail clients to check one IMAP account

FYI:
Mail.app in leopard turns on an advanced "push" mail feature automatically, called IDLE. This can cause strange problems when you use multiple IMAP clients to access you IMAP server.
For instance, I have a computer in my office and one in my lab. Normally Mail.app is running on them both constantly. After installing Leopard I would sit in my office delete and move messages from my INBOX, and when I went down to the lab I would find those emails still in my INBOX and also in the mailboxes I had moved them to on my office machine. In very short order I ended up with multiple copies of emails in many places and no ability to actually delete mail.
Originally I thought this was a bug with Leopard Mail.app, or a problem with compatibility between Mail.app and the UW IMAP server that I use. I wasted significant time searching on the web for possible solutions.
It turns out that the IDLE feature (that is automatically turned on for you in Leopard) was the cause of my problems. Turning this feature off (in the Advanced pane of the accounts setting) on EACH machine caused me email to return to its previous functional state.
If you only use one IMAP mail client the IDLE feature is nice, it pushes new mail to you as soon as the IMAP server receives the new mail.
(note -- IDLE is also automatically turned on in Thunderbird)

Assuming you're on a NAT'd network, DNS services can cause all sorts of weird errors with the mail server, including spontaneous name changes.
To verify local DNS services, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic message:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, might see a one-time informational message around the usage of sudo, then you'll see some host and network configuration information, and finally an indication that either no changes are required, or that there are local DNS or the network has configuration issues. Also, make sure you're not using .local or .arpa as the top-level domain within the DNS services.
Public DNS for the mail server can also cause communications issues, if that's not configured correctly — that won't cause the issue you're seeing in the logs here, but it will cause inbound mail to not reach your server, and outbound mail from your server to be dropped by the remote server. To verify your public DNS, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the commands discussed in this thread or this thread and confirm that your internal and external MX record and your internal and external forward and reverse DNS settings are all correct.

Mac Mail client doesn't work through DSL

We just started using a Verizon DSL connection for our small business. Most things work great -- surfing the web is fast and I can access secure site via browser. For some reason I cannot connect through DSL to get email when I'm using the Mac Mail version 4.4 client. The connection just hangs. I have one pop account and 3 google gmail accounts that I consolidate within the offline client. I luckily have an alternative wifi connection in this building that I can use to get mail, but I need to switch back to our own nework to use the printer and surf at a higher speed.
Our CTO was able to fix it for a day by setting an exception on port 995 -- which is what the mail client uses to retrieve mail.
I know it's realted to Verizon DSL because the same computer works at home via our Verizon Fios service. It's also not an issue with Wifi -- it still doesn't connect when I use a LAN connection directly to the modem.
Please let me know if there are any fixes or work-arounds.
Thanks.
Rusty

sample settings
Incoming
Your incoming mail server
no ssl
Your email address
your username
your password
outgoing
outgoing.verizon.net
no ssl
my server requires authentication = yes
your verizon username (should be the same thing that you use to sign in at http://webmail.verizon.com, test your password by logging in at that website, if it doesn't work, then reset your password and use the correct information)
your verizon password
should work on 25 since this part is verizon, but if it doesn't work for whatever reason try 587
sometimes third party mail servers don't play nice, and don't use 587 for their alternate port. like go daddy often uses port 80 for ougoing as an example, your mail server may like 995. I wouldn't worry about your outgoing settings, and instead use the sample configuration above and let us know if it works. PREFERABLY you should delete your account settings and start from scratch.

IMAP server with multiple mail account on multiple mail clients

Hello,
I have the following problem that I would like to share with the community in order to find a solution.
On my Mac OS X Maverick (OS X 10.9.3 (Build 13D65)) Server (Server 3.1.2 (Build 13S4517)) I configured dovecot (Ver. 2.2) as IMAP server.
I created 8 email accounts on the server and I started the email traffic on the system.
It works well and it sound good! But...
I started to configure different mail clients (i.e. OS Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook (different release, same behavior)) on different client machines (i.e. Mac OS X, Windows xxx, Lubuntu 14.04).
On each client I have to configure all 8 emails accounts previously created on the Server and...
Something strange start to appear...
1. On the dovecot error file a lot of messages appear like the following:
    Jul 02 16:56:55 imap(pid 15241 user <xxxxx>): Fatal: setuid(505(<xxxxx>) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=506(<yyyyy>): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 505(<xxxxx>) instead of 506(<yyyyy>))
   but also if it's not normal there are not problems and dovecot works fine...
2. Sometime on the Thunderbird and Outlook clients a message that says that some account has been disconnected appears...
   but also this problem appears a false because by moving on the different accounts configured I'm able to see the right emails present on the Server
3. On the OS Mail clients I see continuously error messages that say that some account has been disconnected...
   but also in this case the problem appears a false because by moving on the different accounts configured I'm able to see the right emails present on the Server (also if with some trouble more than the other email clients...)
Now, the question is: have you may be information about problems with this kind of configuration? Maybe am I trying to make something that at the moment is not possible to be made? Or, have I found a bug (or more than one) in the components that I'm using?
Thanks a lot to all the people that will help me

Issues sending iCloud mail via Mac Mail client

I'm running OS X Yosemite and use the Mac Mail client to handle mail for my iCloud (mac.com), wish.edu, Gmail, and Outlook accounts. All work fine and always have... until a few weeks ago. I came to figure out that while sending email through my iCloud account will show up as a sent email in the sent folder (on my MacBook Pro as well as the web interface and IOS devices) the messages do not get received on the other end. No error messages. No returns. Everything looks normal on my end but the emails never get delivered.
I logged out of iCloud and logged back in. I checks the outgoing server info and passwords. I restarted (a lot). When I run tests, emails sent from the Mac Mail client on my laptop don't get there. They do get received when sent via the iCloud web interface as well as from my iPhone and iPad. I even downloaded PostBox and set it up with the exact same settings as Mac Mail, and it sends the iCloud mail just fine.
This is driving me nuts. I love Mac Mail, and have used it for years. I don;t want to have to abandon it for this. Help?

Either there is no default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request-----error Outlook 2010

I've tried EVERYTHING suggested in this link (http://blog.timolthof.com/outlook-no-default-mail-client-error/) and everything google and bing and still this message keeps popping up. Now when I do a windows search for email, I'm not able to view
the email due to this message.
For the record, I am running W7 Ultimate x64 and connected via Excange Server. I do have another system that is running Office 2010 with none of these problems so I don't know if it's related to Exchange though the searches I've done don't allude
to that.
What's up?

Hi,
I understand that when you tried to open Outlook 2010 beta on the Windows 7 64-bit computer, you encountered the following error:
"Either there is not default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and
set it as the default mail client."
You have checked the settings under the registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
I understand the inconvenience you have encountered and appreciate the time and effort you spent on this issue. Please be assured that I
will try my best to help you.
Now let’s troubleshoot the issue by the suggestions below. Please check the results after each suggestion until the problem is resolved.
Suggestion 1: manually set Outlook 2010 as the default e-mail client on Windows 7:
===================
1.
Click Start.
2.
Type "default programs" in the
Search box.
3.
Click Default Programs under
Programs in the search results.
4.
Now click Set your default programs.
5.
Highlight Microsoft Outlook on the left.
6.
Click Set this program as default.
7.
Click OK.
Suggestion 2: Start the Outlook program in safe mode
==============
1.
Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
Microsoft Office.
2.
Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Outlook program you want to start.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Outlook program, we can try
to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Outlook program:
Disable add-ins
Click
File menu, click Options >
Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
Com-in Add.
Check if there are any add-ins,
clear the checkbox to disable them.
Close the Office program and
restart it.
Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Suggestion 3: Test the issue with a new Windows user account
==============
We can follow the steps in the articles to create a new user account to test the issue. If the problem does not occur in the new user account, some settings
in the old account are corrupted. We can copy the main user files from the old account to the new account, delete the old account, and then continue using the new account.
For the detailed steps on how to create a new user account and copy data from the old account to the new account, you can refer to the following articles:
For Windows Vista/Windows 7:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. . If anything is unclear or if there
is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run ...

Lync 2013 generates repeated messages stating “Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.”. Events that
seem to generate messages is disconnecting and re-connecting to a network but it also happens randomly and the messages will stack up during a working day. Everything seem to work OK but it is an annoyance. The computer is upgraded (uninstalled first)
from Office 2013 ProPlus to Office 365 ProPlus. Outlook (Desktop) is default mail client. 64-bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise, 64-bit Office (both before upgrade and after).
(Links removed to remediations I've tried)
Made no difference what so ever and the messages continue. What's next?
I posted the above to the Office 2013 forum (unfortunately I'm not allowed yet to post a link to that posting) but due to the fact that the computer affected by this is a networked domain computer I've been redirected to this group instead. I
was asked some additional questions ing the other forum regarding the problem:
Are you able to send mails from other applications like Word or Excel?
NO
Is the PC connected to any Domain/Server? YES
Is this an issue with one PC only. NO - affects all computers that once had Office 2013 Pro Plus installed and now has Office 365 Pro Plus (Originally I posted this question in the Office 365 community but was directed to first the Office
2013 forum and now this forum)
Right click on any file and Click on Send to-> Mail Recipient and check if you are able to send mails using Outlook.
NO
Also check if the Lync add-in is enabled in Outlook.
Start Outlook
Click the File tab.
Go to Options.
Click Add-ins.
Check if the Lync add-in is enabled. YES
My last posting in the other forum contained the following additional information regarding our problem:
As far as we can see installing 32-bit Office 365 Pro Plus using click to run makes no difference.
We do not send any mails from Lync, Lync is however the process that generates the message most frequently (as Lync seem to react upon network events).
Other processes that have Outlook plugins may also be the parent of the message popup (third party applications).
Yes the Lync add-in is enabled. Lync functionality in/from Outlook seem unaffected.
It is not possible to send emails from other applications (explorer, word, excel etc.) ie. right clicking and send to generates the messages and
a follow up error message concerning lack of MAPI enabled e-mail.
