Mail Ignores "Manual" Setting

Tried searching for this topic, but can't seem to find the right combo of words to get an accurate hit. Anyway, I have Mail set to check for new mail manually. However, I have my Activity window open at all times and I keep seeing Mail "ping" the server maybe every 15 minutes. Naturally, if there is new email, it goes ahead and retrieves it from the server. I tried checking my MobileMe account to see if anything is set up there, but found no particular setting for "pushing" or "syncing" to my Desktop account. I have my Sync settings in System Preferences to check once a day, but that should not be the culprit since I don't have Mail Accounts checked.
Is anyone else having this "problem?" It's not really giving me any headaches, but I figure Mail should be following the preferences I set rather than "doing its own thing." Suggestions?

Do you mean this happens once when you launch Mail.app, or it continues to happen periodically after you've launched the application and while it continues to run?
If it's the former, this is a known issue that Apple introduced with 10.9 Mail.app; you can try filing a bug at https://bugreport.apple.com - they closed mine as a duplicate of an existing bug (14155759) when i filed 11 months ago and proceeded to do nothing about it through the 10.9.1 - 10.9.5 releases.

  • How Do You Set Mail To 'Manual' ?

    Never had problem with iPhone until yesterday. I am not receiving 'push' e-mail anymore. I did not do any changes to the iPhone at all. Any e-mail now I have to go to inbox and click on the curved arrow symbol at bottom left of page in order to load the waiting e-mails. In a different posting someone mentioned to test 'push' function by setting e-mail to 'manual' and then sending your Yahoo account an e-mail from your computer (I assume using a different e-mail service). In the 'settings' menu for 'mail' I do not see where you set for 'manual'. How do you set mail to 'manual' setting? And do you think I should just RESET the iPhone (using the iPhone or hooking it up to iTunes on the computer to RESET) ?

    I have no other e-mail accounts set up. Anyway I did RESET my iPhone (using the RESET button on the iPhone) and all is well again (how long I do not know). My e-mails are being 'pushed' again so that I can see from the main menu the little red dots (with the numerals inside) showing how many e-mails are waiting for me. I love this feature. I had 'push' e-mail on my ex-Blackberry. BUT, I do not see the AUTO-CHECK anywhere. I am heading over to the Apple Techies at my local Apple store to ask them about this missing AUTO-CHECK. I have a feeling you need two account set up on your iPhone for this feature to appear. I could be wrong. Thanks, everybody........

  • Mail ignores setting to check mail manually

    Before downloading to Mail I prefer to check what is on the server so I can delete unwanted professional email and have only the ones I want come through to my computer.  This has worked very well in the past when I've set Mail to check for new mail "Manually".  But in recent years and OS's it fetches mail without waiting for me to click the "Get Mail" icon. 
    The only work around I've found is to un-click the "Enable this account" button in Mail Preferences.  This is a royal pain and takes extra time going back and forth from my email to Account Preferences, and when the account is not "enabled" I cannot see all of it's content in Mail.  Sometimes I have to turn off wifi to view my content without having it fetch unwanted email, another nuisance work around. 
    Why does Apple have a "Check Mail Manually" setting if it does not work???  Why does Apple assume everyone wants to download all of the email that arrives on the server?  What happened to giving us a choice?  Please bring back the user-friendly Apple that I grew to appreciate and now miss.

    Do you mean this happens once when you launch Mail.app, or it continues to happen periodically after you've launched the application and while it continues to run?

    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations

  • Windows 8 Mail App - Not setting up with Office 365 Account

    Hi - I'm trying to get an Office 365 Exchange account set-up with the Windows 8 Mail app.  It's giving me an error stating the following:
    To sync this account, you first need to: Make your Windows user account an administrator. 
    I do not want to give admin privileges to the individual user account on Windows (as the error is stating that it wants me to give admin privileges to the local Windows 8 account - not on Office 365) and I cannot find any restriction set-up in the admin
    console/settings on Office 365 (or in Widows 8) that would require this privilege. 
    This same account (on Office 365) can connect fine via Outlook 2010 and a Windows Phone 7 mail app. 
    How can I solve this?..

    Derek,
    Can you please share the UAC setting or GPO settings you used to fix this in Windows 8?  I've gone to the lowest available setting in the UI (there appears to be a lower limit that a NON-admin user can manually set UAC to and to get any other levels,
    you need to use GPO) and still no luck. 
    Thx,

  • MS Exch Acc not syncing - manually setting it in iPhone or through iTune

    Hi, I have confugured the MS Outlook in my personal laptop to work with my work email. The new iPhone seem to support MS Exchange account. Although I could setup my yahoo and gmail account pretty fast, I have failed to successfuly setup the MSEx account yet, both by manually setting it up in iphone or by opting to sync mail accounts through iTune which is supposed to copy the account settings details.
    While setting it up manually it 'failed to verify account' whereas in the iTune under the 'Info' Tab for Mail Accounts option, although I tick to 'Sync selected email account from: Outlook', it never actually displays any account name, in the box below. It does show me this for Calendars and my iphone calendar syncs with my work calendar from Outlook on my laptop.
    Those documented tips on the apple website like, if you have enterted the domain name then remove it and see if it syncs and if you don't have it entered and enter the domain name and 'see' if it syncs' hasn't helped. My outlook login does require the domain name so i have entered it in the phone too but after reading this tip i tried after remving it and it still couldn't retrieve emails.
    I found some utility on apple website that is meant for confuguring the acount setups on your PC. 5.17 MB file size i downloaded the version for Windows but after installation I dont see any option in the menu where i could launch an 'application', set email account setting possibly with advanced/customised details which the phone email setup doesn't ask for.
    Has anybody setup their work emails on iphone without any IT help from office? If yes was it as simple as fill the form and emails retrieved? Considering what I have tried so far am I missing step for successful setup or is there any other option left to setup MSEx emails? Please help.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ronak

    I was browsing my account and saw thsi question i had posted long back. A couple of months back while at my attempts to setup my work email i was able to do this successfully. Not with the account details I had used during the Outlook setup for my laptop but with the details used for webmail. My employer also has webmail which one can use to access emailout of office network on the go. i keyed in the address ID and password and it worked. I was like wow and I tried so hard the other way.

  • Mail ignores my rule regarding header

    Hi,
    I added a rule in Mail:

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    So because there are two you don't think I can write a rule just based on one of them?
    Every e-mail on this list has the first Delivered-To: header on it so there's not much I can do about that...
    Any suggestions?

  • Icloud mail is not set up in outlook

    I am helping someone who never got Outlook and iCloud talking.  They have Outlook 2007 and Windows Vista.  They have iCloud 2.1.3.  They have an iPhone 4s with IOS 7.  There is an iCloud folder in Outlook, but it is empty. 
    In iCloud on my PC, I get the message "icloud Mail is not set up in Outlook".  Under the message is another message I can click on "Set up [email protected] in Outlook" where myname is the first part of the email i am using in Outlook ([email protected]). I have "Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks with Outlook" checked.  I click on the "Set up..." message and then I get "Setting Up..." with a spinning wheel next to "Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks with Outlook",  The "Setting Up..." has been there overnight, so I think something is wrong.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

  • IPad Mail ignores Delete = Never

    When I delete email from iPad Mail it also deletes from POP3 account, even though Settings are Delete = Never.
    I have repeatedly removed the account, reset the iPad, then again set up the mail account. However, it always ignores this setting. I have several POP3 accounts, each on different servers, and iPad deletes mail from each despite the settings.
    Does Delete=Never work on POP3 for anybody out there? I have not had this problem with my iPhones.

    Hi Maggot
    I have a 3G iPad. I am currently only using wireless as I haven't researched the 3G plans yet, but if you have only wireless, perhaps your settings are different.
    Under advanced, at the top of the screen, there is a heading that says 'mailbox behaviors', with three options under it: 'drafts mailbox' 'sent mailbox' and 'trash mailbox'.
    When I chacked the setting for my yahoo account, I noticed that I have fewer options. Among the variations, I still get 'trash mailbox' but no 'sent mailbox'.
    Perhaps the settings vary depending on what sort of email account you are using.
    I did find out that with my ISP account, it wasn't downloading my emails to my iPad so much as allowing me to view my account online. Like logging directly into your ISP when you are using a public computer. When I hit delete, it is deleting the emails from my ISP server (based on the settings I described in my earlier post). When I turn my regular computer on and open Outlook, all my email downloads to my computer, except what I deleted from the server using iPad. Only as soon as I download to my computer, those emails are no longer accessible on the iPad. I can no longer view emails downloaded to my computer on my iPad as it's no longer on my ISP server. This is likely why you can't just hit delete on the iPad, and why delete from the server does allow you to delete instead of that annoying message telling you you can't. Hope that made sense.
    Its annoying I can't view the email on my iPad after downloading to my computer, because I am loving how email displays on the iPad. I might be able to look at changing my computer settings to leave a copy on the server when it downloads my email. I'm sure I've seen that somewhere. Shouldn't be a problem as my iPad can delete from the server.
    Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If you haven't got the same settings as I have, I'm not sure how to fix it for you. Hopefully some if this info will help you, though.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

  • When creating a rectangle shap, how to manually set dimensions

    I am creating a rectangular shape with the tool (U).
    How can I manually set the dimensions (height and width).
    I know I can see the dimensions with the info button in the right side bar, bug I want to edit those values.
    Is this possible?

    You can set the dimensions before using the rectangle tool in the
    tool options bar (fixed size).
    Or you can change the dimensions after, by using the move tool or Edit<Free Transform Path
    and entering the dimensions in pixels (px) in the width and height boxes.

  • I took my iMac to be fixed and when i got it back, mail was not set up. I called Apple Support and they helped me set up mail. Then the emails went to trash on the iMac and on the MacBook Pro (same emails). There are no numbers by the 'inbox' to tell how

    I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
    I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
    Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
    Thank you so much,

    Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
    I also can save drafts now on both computers.
    Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
    Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
    Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
    Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
    IMAP for both accounts.
    Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
    The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
    'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
    On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
    On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
    Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
    The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
    The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
    On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
    Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
    Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
    Thank you so much,

  • My emails no longer show up unless I go to the mail app manually. Never had a problem before this. Help!

    My emails no longer show up unless I go to the mail app manually. Never had a problem before this. Help! I have shut off phone I have tried to change the time for how long the mail will show up but nothing is working

    Do you mean you don't get notified of new emails automatically (eg. on the Lock Screen)?  This could be because this function is turned off in Settings > Notifications.  It could also be that the email account you use is having problems with its PUSH service, if it offers one.
