Mail for snow leopard

is there a new mail that you must have to run mail on snow leopard?

Right, I forgot, how silly of me. Once you set up an email account on a machine it's set up forever. Even after a fresh install on a new machine. What was I thinking.

How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly. I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server. Please edit the server list'. No amount of tweaking appears to work. Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also. My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant. The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
Does anyone please have a solution to my problem? At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2. As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly. One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?). As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing. Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail. I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem. You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox. Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course. The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself. I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions. This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line. You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
Many thanks for your perseverance. You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

Apple Mail on Snow Leopard 1.6.8

I'm aware this subject isn't new but still I find no solutions ....
Hence, very many thanks to anyone who will help me to solve this substantial problem
Since the unfortunate invention of Icloud my Apple Mail on Snow Leopard 1.6.8 no longer work properly.
My machine:
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro4,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          3,32 GHz
RAM 16 GB (Apple Original)
Mail should take care of my me.com accounts, but I also have other accounts located elsewhere with a different suffix (.it, co.uk)
I tried to set up Snow Leopard Mail following every single help tread here and at other websites. None of which seems to work properly, and the variety of "helps" simply tells me there is no "sound" system to use Snow Leopard with the current Apple Email set-up.
Yet "randomly" Mail will stop loading my "me.com" mail opening an error message telling me the "me.com" certificate is no longer trustable.ù
I instructed Apple Mail to "trust" the certificate, but this option does not work, or at least only works randomly.
Mails also never recognizes and loads messages from my other suffix adresses. It enters in an endless connection asking to verify either my User or pass, to finally put these accounts offline. Using Safari with my user and pass (the same as in Apple Mail) everythings works well.
More: if I am working on something else (Long Photoshop Actions, Final Cut Pro rendering and more), this window message halts everything.
This problem is serious, as I usually performed this work at night. or when I don't need to stare at a screen doing nothing.
I erased my computer with the 32 zero pass options and reinstalled the original Snow Leo system (MAC OS X 10.6.2) and this problem vanishes.
As soon as I update with the Combo Upgrade the problem begins again.
My upgrades are always "fresh updates" both as a direct update from the apple menu/Software update, or downloading the combo as dmg to then install.
The result is exactly the same.
I received a fresh copy from the local Apple Store in case my original had some magical problems, but nothing changed.
Yet I can't simply use SL 10.6.2 (the original software I got with the Machine) as many programs I paid for require the latest Snow Leopard.
While I could use another drive with SL 10.6.2, just for the Mail, is really a problem to reboot, to reboot again to continue my work.
In my heart I certainly believe email these days is a "public service" especially after paying thousand dollars over the years, and Apple policy to force user to purchase their latest machines and or, waste time to reconstruct their previous work to adpat it to their industrial policy is simply not fair.
While I understand and support advances in technology and so on, I believe this going forward shouldn't be done at the expenses of the customers, but "freedom of choice" is parts of all constitution as introduced centuries ago in the US.
I read in various site Apple was planning a Snow Leopard 10.6.9 version, but so far nothing happened. Maybe this project was dismissed.
Loosing important emails is a superior problem for my work.
I "have" to use Snow Leopard because I need the Rosetta function Apple discontinued in Lion and Mountain Lion.
Some readers might dislike this post, yet I used Apple since Apple II, I bought at least 100 machines since, I went through the various software/hardware changes, with ease. I believe my current anger is legitimate.
Can someone please help?

you can save a little time - since Mail is one of the Optional Install items found by running the same-named installer within the folder on the DVD. you'll still need the 10.6.7 combo afterwards.

Address book and ical not working for snow leopard clients

We have upgraded our server to mountain lion from snow leopard.
At first glance all appears to have gone well, however, the ical and address book services don't appear to be working for snow leopard clients. These services DO appear to be working for lion clients.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am at work right now and don't have access to my Mac. But I need to as if your Dad is on Windows Active Directory network? I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

Mail in Snow Leopard (starting from scratch, fresh install, POP gone?)

Where is a good manual/FAQ/Help file that explains how to setup POP gmail accounts in the new Mail in 10.6??
Did a fresh install on a new machine, and can't for the life of me figure out how to set it up (keeps selecting IMAP by default, no matter what I do, then when I setup a POP account it just sits there).
How come it worked in 10.3, 10.4, and in 10.5 then in 10.6 it just acts all goofy and won't connect? Is this the definition of 'snappier'? I think so, because I'm about to.
Thanks.

Like you I did a fresh install and when setting up my gmail accounts found the only available option of setup to be IMAP. I found the fix to this ANNOYING ISSUE.
Basically the auto-setup assistant that automatically starts in Mail w/ snow leopard looks to see if you enter "gmail.com" as your selected service and AUTOMATICALLY configures it to use IMAP instead of POP.
Now I have tried going in and disabling IMAP and entering all the correct POP settings after the wizard completes setup but I could never get a functioning connection.
The solution is to click the + sign to add an account but instead of butting "@gmail.com" change your address to "@yahoo.com". Type in the correct password and click continue. It will attempt to check the connection but will fail, click continue anyway.
From here you will have to change the POP settings from the defaults for yahoo to those of gmail. Remember those are pop.gmail.com; username is your ENTIRE email address. Ensure everything is right and click continue.
Again change the SMTP setting from those of yahoo to those of gmail's. Remember smtp.gmail.com!
Click continue and finish the setup. Once the account is setup you will have to change your address from @yahoo.com to @gmail.com and you are finished. Your account should connect and work just like it always did.

Wish List Updates for Snow Leopard

If you support any of the following, please send them to Apple's suggestion box.
I would like Apple to offer the following settings, preferably without third party fixes. HOWEVER, feel free to respond with your favorite work-around solutions. I need to learn Terminal!
1. Safari - close download window upon completion
2. Safari - remove ALL cookies and cached items when "resetting" same. There are always a select few that have to be manually deleted
3. Safari - have a built in video downloader/converter - Yes there are good third party solutions for this
4. Safari - allow Private Viewing as a default option
1.Pointer options - Create an option in preferences to enable the pointer to automatically go the default option selection (as is possible in that "other" operating system. You know, the one that pirated the window concept)
1. Apple mail - #1 request is identify a way to allow the numerous superior email clients interface as seamlessly with other native apps.
2. Apple mail - short of that, create a setting to turn off or allow a time setting to override an email automatically being marked as read if it happens to be highlighted with you open the app, thereby appearing in the preview pane. Appearing in the preview pane does not mean I have read it.
3. Apple mail - provide an option for creating return receipts requests
4. Apple mail - What it that box that appears around blocks of text in received mail that makes editing more difficult than it should be
5. Apple mail - Provide a tool to apply the formatting to other parts of the email (sort of like the paint brush tool in that OS with the "W" word)
6. Apple mail - If I label a sender as "not-junk" do not put label mail from this sender as Junk. I do not want all senders in my address book.
7. Apple mail - If I label a sender as "JUNK" future mail from this sender should also be JUNK, no?
8. Apple mail - Create a rule that allows "Bounce" as an option
1. iPhoto - I know I must be missing something here, so please chime in -
How or what can I do to save photos into iPhoto when I am not using iPhoto. The most common annoyance for me is saving photos off email attachment or from the web. There MUST be something I am doing wrong. Where is the "Save to iPhoto Library" option?
1. QuickTime - Please bring back QT Player 7!!!
12. I know we mustn’t use "other" browsers, but in those rare events that it happens - how nice would it be to have a native bookmark sync option or common folder?
13. Finder - allow more columns in the viewing options for Spotlight
Please feel free to add to the list.

Re: Wish List Updates for Snow Leopard
Feb 12, 2012 9:59 AM (in response to CAPTJON)
So may words, so little help. You do realize that they call this a Support Community, right?
1. Safari - close download window upon completion
Mine already does this, and I'm sure you can do it in Snow Leopard, too.
     When you refer to "mine," what OS are you referring to? Are you willing to share your knowledge on where I might find this capability?
3. Safari - have a built in video downloader/converter - Yes there are good third party solutions for this
That's not the job of a browser, and it's not going to happen. Keep dreaming.
     Thanks again for the helpful advice. I am impressed with our willingness to help.
4. Safari - allow Private Viewing as a default option
You can turn it on yourself. There's also AppleScript, or assigning a keyboard shortcut.
     I am very aware of how to turn it on. I would prefer to leave it on by default. Care to share your AppleScript knowledge?
Apple mail - provide an option for creating return receipts requests
It's been there for years—where have you been?
     Thanks again for the poweruser tip, very helpful.
1. Apple mail - #1 request is identify a way to allow the numerous superior email clients interface as seamlessly with other native apps.
That's entirely your opinion, which isn't shared by the vast majority of Mac users.
     I am sorry I do not share you opinion, nor did I know you speak for the majority of Mac users. Perhaps with your superior guidance I would become a power user too?
Where is the "Save to iPhoto Library" option?
Have you tried looking at the options given to you when you receive email with attachments? There's a Save button in the Header section that gives you the option to save the image to iPhoto.
     And how does this sugggestion help when downloading a photo from the web?
Perhaps if you spent time getting to know your Mac and OS X, you'd find that there aren't nearly as many "issues" as you seem to imagine.
     Yes, and I perhaps if you would share a bit of your superior knowledge I would agree. That was my hope in posting to a "support community." You put a fair amount of effort into your criticism. Just "imagnie..."

Tiger Mail on Snow Leopard?

I have been using Tiger's Mail program as my main mail application. Now I need to get my mail on my Macbook Pro.
Problem is: Mail in Tiger has an option under "Edit", of "Paste as HTML". This works beautifully.
In Snow Leopard this option has been removed, and although "Paste" does sort of work (with adding attachments for images), I get my quoted message mangled in replies from recipients of my html mails.
Question: Can I instal and use Tiger Mail on Snow Leopard, and how should I go about it?

You had me very excited for a moment there, Tom, when I saw how elegantly Safari does this, but...
I do my html in Pagespinner, then preview in Safari. Safari > File > Mail Contents of this Page, does not deliver my images. (I suppose I could link to image files on a web server...)
On the other hand, in Tiger, I select all, and copy in Safari, then Edit > Paste as html, in Mail. And my friends receive a perfect html email, with images and formatting.
I just got my little G4 iBook back, and Tiger with it, so once again, I can do my thing , but I would dearly love a similarly elegant solution in Snow Leopard.

Multilngual Braille Output available for Snow Leopard

Hello all,
My package for Braille output in languages other than U.S. English is now available for Snow Leopard. It's very easy to install, and allows uncontracted Braille to be shown on your refreshable Braille display using your own language's dotcodes.
The languages are Danish, French, German, Greek/Coptic, Hebrew, Norwegian, Russian and US Unicode (which gives the non-Latin languages). They are available as a free .dmg download from CeciMac. The site is in French, but don't worry, the Multilingual Braille package is the only .dmg download link on the home page. The installer is localised in French and English, and once it has run and you've restarted your Mac, the whole list of output languages is available via the popup menu in the Braille tab of VoiceOver Utility.
I'm currently working on a number of other languages, which will be released as soon as possible. They include Arabic, British English, Croat, Czech, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. If you want any other languages, please let me know by e-mail to conseil at anarchie dot org dot uk.
Enjoy Snow Leopard!
Archie

The installation instructions are only provided in English and French, but they are very simple.

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

How do I reinstall Lion if I get a new hard drive? My mac came with Leopard and I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard

My MacBook Pro originally came with Leopard. I have the OS and Applications disks for Leopard but I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard. I would like to perform a clean install of Lion on the new hard drive and restore some data from my Time Machine backup. I am not looking to restore the current image to my new hard drive. I have not yet removed the exisiting hard drive nor have I wiped my data.

The only way to do that is to buy a New SL Retail DVD. Or you could buy the Lion Install USB thumb drive from Apple for $69.
You must have SL installed to then install Lion or have a thumb drive with the Lion installer.
You could also create a Lion USB Recovery thumb drive using Lion Disk Assistant. But you need to have Lion already installed and the Lion RecoveryHD Partition on your drive to make the Recovery thumb drive.

After I installed 10.6.8, my HP Officejet lost the ability to print 2-sided. I installed the latest HP drivers for Snow Leopard, but the 2-sided option is turned off and greyed out.

After I installed 10.6.8, my HP Officejet 7310 lost the ability to print 2-sided. I installed the latest HP drivers for Snow Leopard, the 2-sided option shows up in the print window but is turned off and greyed out. Also the scan function won't let me scan at any density greater than 150 dpi. I have talked to Applecare and to HP tech support and been told "too bad." Any help would be appreciated.

THANK YOU! And who are you? I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Applecare and with HP Tech Support and they couldn't fix what you did in a few words. Many thanks! John
