Mail notifications without opening app?

Hello there. I am really using the mail app because I get some important emails from time to time...
However in my notification center on Mountain Lion this (official) mail app has been enabled to send notifications. But... It works only if I run the app it self and then minimize it or hide it.
However I thought it would work same as on iPhone. Any mail app that I have there is automatically checking for emails when I connect to internet and app isnt turned on or at least I dont see it as (running).
I was wondering if this sort of thing is possible on Mountain Lion notification center? So it would send me notifications and check email all the time without running email app. (like facebook and twitter integration)
Cheers.

Hey, I too have mail.app open on its own even though it is not the default email program and I do not "open" or "click" on it. I also--I don't think--have any accounts configured. When it opens all I see is the "Welcome to Mail" page.
Major annoyance.
Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on how to prevent mail.app from opening?
Much thanks,
Me

Mail notification without opening the application

Is there a way to have Mail notify that you have mail without actually opening the application. I noticed if I have the Mail application open, (but minimized) that within the Mail icon I will see a number of unopened emails identified.

There are a couple of Widgets that will do that for you. Fairly light apps.
Have a search here and see if there is something there that you like.

How to get my mail through without opening the mail app...

Hi
I have a tendancy to when ive finished using with my apps on my Mac I always go to top left and press quit itunes or quit mail etc
if i do that to mail, obviously when a email comes through i dont get it straight through unless the mail program is open (like on my iphone, if an email comes it just comes straight through)
what im asking is, is there a way for me to get my mail through straight away whilst the mail program is open? - thing is I like things tidy and dont like all these programs left open
also what is the point of the red X in the top left corner?, if im on a website on safari and I press the X, safari is still open isnt it, but if i click back onto safari to re open the app it just goes to the homepage
so really what is pressing the red X on the top left and quitting the app altogether, what is the difference?

Mail has to be open to receive the new mail notification.
Clicking the red x button just closes the window, does not quit the application.
To quit the application, you have to select "Quit......" from the application menu.
When an application is open, a white light indicator will be shown under the application icon in the Dock.

How do I delete mail messages without opening?

I'm using Mountain Lion...before ML, when I had a mail message in my Inbox that I suspected might contain malicious content I could use multiple selection to delete it along with another email that was currently in the reading pane but no longer wanted. Mail would not show the malicious email in the reading pane after selection. Now whenever I select a message it's always opened in the reading pane. How do I select a message and delete it without opening it? This is a dangerous omission. Thanks.

Is there a setting or an app that shows e-mail notifications without having to unlock the screen...like SMS and missed calls?

Is there a setting or an app for the iPhone 4 that allows you to see that you have new mail messages from the "lock screen" like SMS and missed call messages? My primary e-mail account is MS Exchange and I'm running iOS 5. Thanks!

Viewing Sender's Address Without Opening E-Mail

I am trying to find a way of viewing a sender's e-mail address without opening the e-mail, just in case it is unwanted spam. Anyone know how? When I was in the windows world, I used View Source in Thunderbird, but I am not able to find a comparable option in the OSX Mail application.
Thanks!

Hello Pankaj,
it should be a valid E-Mail Address because you should be able to handle the bounces. And please have also a look at <a href="/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/08/sending-e-mail-from-abap--version-610-and-higher--bcs-interface">Sending E-Mail from ABAP - Version 610 and Higher - BCS Interface</a> if your Mail system is configured correctly. You should be able to send out SMTP Mails via SAP Business Workplace.

How do you delete mail in 5.0 without opening

Right-click on the message and select delete. There are probably other ways to do this, but the right-click is what I do.

Mail notifications in 10.9.2 open message window not Mail

With yesterdays 10.9.2 update clicking on Mail notifications now opens new messege window with that email, instead of just highlighting it in main Mail wondow. This is amazingly annoying and nonproductive. Is there a way to switch it back?

I found an other thread on the same subject:

No solution for the moment :-(

Marking mail as junk without opening it?

Is there any way to mark mail that I can see by the subject line is junk, as junk without having to open it(highlight it)? As you can do using Thunderbird, you can click in the Junk column of a message that immediately marks it as junk and moves it to the junk mail folder without opening the message.

Make sure your inbox has the junk mail toggle button on its toolbar by using View menu -> Customize Toolbar.
Disable the Preview pane from the view menu.
It will not open any spam if you just click on it in the inbox, and select the spam toggling toolbar icon.
Navigating with arrow keys, you can't control what's the next message opened short of clearing all the messages you don't want to read from the mailbox first.

Adobe Form send by e-mail as PDF + opening Outlook

Hello,
I've created a form with a "send by e-mail' button.
When clicking this button, the users Outlook should open with a new e-mail and the pdf attached (subject and To pre-filled)
I have tested this in example mode in Livecycle designer. Everthing works fine then.
But when I publish the form it sends the form directly to the given e-mail adres, without opening the outlook e-mail first.
It is important to open the outlook e-mail first, because I want them to add attachements and some comments in the mail before sending the form.
Any of you familiar with this problem, and how to solve it?

Did you use this script in your button?

This has always worked for me.

How to see the "display name" at workflow e-mail notification?

Hi all,
I would like to see the display name instead of the e-mail address when I receive a workflow e-mail notification. It seems to be something likes that:
From: KM Notification System <[email protected]>
<b>Is it possible to configure the e-mail notification to do it?</b>
PS.: I already tried to configure the e-mail notification at UME configuration (using config tool) and replaced [email protected] with KM Notification System <[email protected]>. But, after restart the server Im still receiving workflow e-mail notification without the display name appearing.
Thanks in advanced,
Alcides Flach

Hi,
I solved the problem. Its is working now.
I've replaced the notificator.EMAIL* [email protected] with KM Notification System <[email protected]> and it works fine.

HT201342 Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?

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.

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.

Send email without opening mail app

Hi
So how can I send email without opening mail app.
From: Overview of requested additional functionality, Ayuba Audu
Hi Peter,
There are a couple of services available that support sending emails via REST API calls. Of course, each such service requires a WADL connector to be created, but by taking advantage of resources such as the early alpha of our
WADL Generator, along with
our documentation, one will be enabled to do this.
This way you do not need to have the Mail application available, on the machine the app is running on.
Thanks.
Hi Ayuba
I guess the comment above was mentioned for this thread. If so can you please share a simple example file here or anywhere elese?
Thanks

Basically all I'm trying to do is to build an app for multiple users in one company. Each employer (user) is stored in collection with their password and email address. To get access to man screen of the app, employee must login in login screen. Chose his
name and type the password. I want to add a button for forgotten password so in case one of the employee would forget his password he can click on the button and receive on his email his password. The email what he will get would be for example from
[email protected] with mail body : your password is 12345.
So is that what you meant I can do with WADL generator?

How do you turn on Mail Notifications when Mail is not listed in the INCLUDE or DO NOT INCLUDE list of apps?

A week ago, the Mail app wouldn't display any messages. After restarting the phone, it still would not display any messages, it would just quit. Then eventually it opened with messages displayed. But then Mail notifications disappeared, and is not even listed in the Notification Center. How can Mail be "re-listed"?

I checked some other discussions and doing a reset by holding the power and home button helped the Mail app to appear in the Notifications list again
