Mail preference photo

I just purchased and set up .mac. In Mail Preference, add custom photo, I put a Dragonfly icon that it said will be on my emails. It is jpeg 4 kb. It shows up on my end when I view sent mail, but the people I send email to state they do not get it on their email. When I was using just mac mail it worked, now with .mac I'm having problems. What am I doing wrong?
iMac G5 20" (A) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1 GB RAM, 160 GB HD, AP, BT, iSight

Likely dot-mac mail is sending your little dragonfly as an attachment.
How it appears to the recipient is completely up to THEM.
For example:
I have my email program configured to only display the PlainText of the message (I don't WANT to see all the little cute-sy attachments that people send in their emails).
I would see that your dragonfly was attached, but I wouldn't see it unless I opened it specifically.
In other words, you;re probably not doing anything wrong.

I am not able to mail the photos from iPhoto. Its always saying that the email address it's not recognized. Another situation is that when I try to add my me account in the preferences account, doesn't recognize my @me password. Tks for any help! :-)

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto '09

E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto ‘09
Hi:
We used to have a great way of e-mailing photos from iPhoto: specifically, we just clicked the Entourage e-mail icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window, chose the size of the photos we wished to send (ie, one was given options for how much one wished to reduce the size of the photos), and it was done.
Now that we’ve upgraded to Outlook 2011 we seem to have lost this functionality.
I tried to choose Outlook 2011 as our default e-mail program under iPhoto>Preferences>”Email photos using :” but the only 4 options are AOL,Eudora, Mail, and Entourage. Interestingly, the icon used here is Outlook 2011, not Entourage (yellow, not purple), but it still says “Microsoft Entourage” next to the yellow icon, and the mail icon at the bottom of the main iPhoto window is still the purple Entourage icon (and if one clicks it, it tries to open Entourage).
I then went into Apple’s Mail program under Preferences, and made sure that the “Default email reader” option was set to Microsoft Outlook 14.1.4 (which it was), but iPhoto still uses Entourage.
I searched the web and found a tip saying that one can drag photos from iPhoto over the Outlook icon in the dock to mail photos. I was thrilled to see that this worked, only to realize that it sends full size photos, without the downsizing option discussed above.
I thought about upgrading iPhoto to the ’11 version, but a plethora of the online reviews were less than laudatory about the stability of iPhoto '11, so decided to stay with ’09.
Thus, does anyone have suggestions for easily sending reduced size photos from iPhoto using Outlook 2011? I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos, but I would love to find a much more intuitive and quick method, similar to what we had with iPhoto and Entourage.
Thank you very much!!!
iPhoto ’09 8.1.2 (4124)
OS 10.6.8
Outlook: Mac 2011 v 14.1.4

I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos,
No you don't need to do that. Just use the Export dialogue in iPhoto to reduce the quality - it's exactly the same as the one used when sending to a mail app.
As for the comments about iPhoto 11 - search and you'll find pretty much the same ones about iphoto 09, 08, 6, 5 etc

Mail, preview, photo booth, will not open

After installing Leopard (on my 3rd attempt, clean install) mail, preview, and photo booth will not open at all. i'm opening them from the applications folder, not from the dock. i get an error message that says the programs unexpectedly quit. hopefully i don't have to do another installation. 3 is enough.
i thought it was interesting that these 3 programs are in order alphabetically, and every other program has opened fine.
any help/ideas would be great

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
You might check whether this is a preference corruption issue. For example, you can find the Mail preference file in [Username]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag this file to your desktop (so you don't lose it). Then try relaunching Mail. If that works, a similar process might fix your problem with the other applications, too.
Please post back here if that helps. If it does, please mark this posting as having "Solved" your question. Thanks

How to add Mail to Photos dropdown share menu?

If I want to share a photo by email (while in Photos), Help tells me to click on the Share icon, then select Mail. My problem is that Mail is NOT on the Dropdown menu.How do I put it on the Dropdown menu?
I suspect the problem may relate to the fact that I moved from a Windows PC to my Mac and installed a Thunderbird Email client to avoid learning a new Mail interface first thing. Now the Thunderbird icon show on the Photos "Share" menu (although it is grayed out and cannot be selected), and I have long since abandoned Thunderbird in favor of Mac Mail. So it seems reasonable that I need to remove the grayed out Thunderbird icon, and replace it with the Mac Mail icon on the Photos "Share" dropdown menu.
Any suggestion for implementing that change?

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail

Mail JPEG photo attachments

Greetings. I send variously-sized photo files as JPEGs attached to email; some recipients can open them with no problems, but others have significant difficulties. Most recently, a customer has claimed that she can only open my JPEG photo file attachments as Bitmaps. The files I'm sending are .jpg files saved as Level 12 files in Photoshop and sent actual size. I can't find a Mail preference to alter relating to attachments other than making them compatible with Windows recipients (box checked) and placing them at the end of documents (box checked). Suggestions appreciated.

When e-mailing message to other systems, you are restricted to the lowest-common denominator. Older PC systems often have trouble with e-mail from Macs. Outlook 2003 will, indeed, save your JPEG attachment as a BMP. Of course, it will do that even if you send a JPEG picture using Outlook 2003 . If your hapless PC using-friend upgraded to Outlook 2007, she would actually lose the ability to save the attachment altogether.
Apple's focus is on new technology and ease-of-use rather than support for legacy systema and complexity. If you want, you can manually add some complexity back in to Apple Mail with a 3rd party plug-in like Attachment Tamer.

Mail duplicates photos

Why does Mail always show 2 sets of photos, (one set first and then the other set at the bottom of the first set) when I receive more than one image in an email? Does it have anything to do with the message having possibly been Forwarded at some time? Would choosing NOT to display remote images in HTML messages in the Mail preferences stop this? It happens on both my iMac g5 and Intel Macbook, both running OS 10.4.8 and .Mac mail.
My Father has the same problem with duplicating images in Apple Mail program when using iMac g4 running OS 10.3. I am using .Mac but he is using a local cable provider. What gives? Any ideas?
Macbook, iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Apple Mail, .Mac
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Does it have anything to do with the message having possibly
been Forwarded at some time?
Yes and when this occurs the original message was composed in HTML or received and forwarded by someone using HTML for message composition. HTML figures into this somewhere along the line.
Would choosing NOT to display remote images in HTML messages
in the Mail preferences stop this?
No and you shouldn't automatically render HTML regardless as a security feature to prevent notifying a spammer that your email address is valid. If a spammer uses HTML for message composition and includes embedded images or objects that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed and these are rendered, you are notifying the spammer that your email address is valid or "known good" causing even more spam to be received.
If a spam message that includes remote images is correctly marked as junk when received, no images or objects will be rendered from a remote server as a security feature regardless the setting but not when a spam message that includes the same is not correctly marked as junk when received which is why you should not automatically display remote images in HTML messages.

The majority of email problems would be eliminated if Plain Text was used for message composition instead of HTML.

Error Saving Preferences on exiting Mail Preferences

Hi, I am getting the Error Saving Preferences error on exiting Mail Preferences with advice to check disk space and directory permissions on ~/Library/Preferences. Not knowing what the official permissions should be I booted the iMac from the Leopard installation disk and in Disk Utility I repaired file permissions but this did not make any difference. I have followed other instructions I found in Apple Discussions which were for a previous OSX where I backed up the Mail directory and then moved ~/System/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop. Per instructions I then fired up Mail which picked up my Mac account straight away but again on exiting Preferences without even adding any new mailboxes the same error cropped up... in fact I don't think a new plist was created. I returned the old plist and Mail directory.
It may be worth mentioning that just before this problem cropped up I had been trouble-shooting another problem where every minute my active window would lose focus, I tracked this down to HP_scheduler (I have an HP all-in-one printer, C6180) and on killing the process the problem went away, but I think it was also a symptom of the real cause which is still unknown as the printer software has been installed for about a year, last update was months ago... but before I had tracked the issue down to this I had use MacScan2 to flush just my Safari caches and temporary files etc, it was running in authenticated mode, may mean something, may not. Subsequently to discovering HP Scheduler was to blame I uninstalled all the printer software using the HP uninstall package.
Around this time a third problem transpired where settings were not being retained in various System Preferences. Unfortunately I didn't pick up on it straight away as being a third problem and now can't remember whether it started before the window lost focus problem or not. The first time it happened was when I tried to put MacScan2 into the startup list for my login, it could be added but on checking the addition it wasn't retained in the list and well I thought nothing more of it as it was the first time I had tried to do such a thing. Then I noticed the Mail issue just by chance and subsequently, through seeing someone else's problems logged back in 2006 I think, I noticed that although I could change screensaver I could not make a change in desktop photo stick.
I have since reinstalled the printer software and I am no longer losing focus from the active window.
However, I think it is probably the case that the Mail Preferences, Startup Items and Desktop Preferences issues are all the symptoms of one and the same problem and I would be very grateful if anyone is familiar with and/or knows of a solution to this issue.
Many thanks for reading!

Well, in the end I tried many things including lots of things that I thought wouldn't help such as cleaning out caches, running crons; I was using IceClean and pretty much tried every system maintenance option but to no avail. I have removed MacScan and have kept Norton, which this time found a few things in my .wine folder, but I have only performed a few full system scans as it takes a full day.
This resulted in the knowledge that I would have to do a Leopard reinstall if that failed then a complete restore from TimeMachine which I knew would take ages, but fortunately the reinstall worked perfectly and effortlessly to solve the problem, and it only took 30 mins to update the security patches including 2 automatic restarts.
Phew!

Unable to open Mail Preferences, can't remove/add accounts.

Sorry I posted this under Tiger discussions as well, but it wasn't my intention. I am running Leopard now:
- I upgraded to Leopard today. My mail application that I have been using all along has been Entourage, but decided to switch to Mail.
- Setup walked me through and I configured another account (besides the .mac account created automatically).
- I wanted to change settings of the newly configured account, but when I go to Mail->Preferences... NOTHING HAPPENS!
- Tried reinstalling Mail from CD. Tried rebooting MAC. Tried removing and reinstalling again... nothing!
So I can't open Mail Preferences to modify existing accounts. What can I do?

Ernie,
Thanks again.
This is strange indeed! I can not do what you suggested. We must not be on the same page.
When I select the Mail pull down menu right under "About Mail" is the "Preferences" item. There are a series of periods behind it which usually indicates more options when the item is selected or highlighted. In this case nothing happens until it is selected at which you are taken to a "general" screen full of items with scroll through lists to select from. Accounts is not an item. Holding down the option key doesn't change the results at any point I tried.
My Mail version is 3.0 (912.1/912).
I may have to give up on Mail and go back to Entourage or thunderbird.

How do I e-mail a photo in iphoto 9.6

Hello. I am using Yosemite and finding it difficult to e-mail a photo like I used to be able to. Previously I would select a photo, then
click on the bottom right and the photo would show up in my Mac mail program. Now when I select the photo it comes up with the to/from/subject
right in the iPhoto program. I tried sending it by clicking on Share/Mail and it goes out but I have no idea where the sent copy is as it is not in
my Mac Mail sent file. Is there any way I can click on the photo and have it show up in Mac Mail so I could send it from there?
Thank you.

You are welcome - they are in the receiver's inbox - when you use iPhoto last th email client there is no sent mailbox - one of many reasons that I personally recommend that people use mail

Error message says error writing Mail preferences

There’s a discussion about the very same problem I’m having at <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2047886&#2047886> about Mail not being able to save preferences... or at least a message pops up each time despite the fact that the preferences are saved. Annoying, really. I’ve followed all the steps suggested in the above thread, including terminal commands and repairing of permissions. However, the problem didn’t go away. Unfortunately, the thread above was closed (without being answered), so I had to open a new post. Here’s a description of the problem as stated in the above thread... and the problem occurs exactly like that on my Powerbook running 10.4.7.
**** Original question follows ***
At some point in time, I suddenly began having the problem of every time I close my Mail preferences window, I get an error message stating, "Error Saving Preferences - Writing your preferences to disk has failed. Your preferences may not have been saved. The permissions on ~/Library/Preferences may be wrong or your disk may be full."
My hard disk has many GB free, and I still keep getting the error message after repairing permissions.
I ran a test of changing a couple of prefs, then quitting Mail and relaunching, and my changes stuck.
But some prefs such as changes to signatures won't stick (although they never did, so the latter may be unrelated to my current problem).
In any event, it's disconcerting that I keep getting the error message.
Anyone know what's up? Is there a fix?

The preference file may be corrupt.
Try the following:
Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account and/or you created an email account as part of the original computer setup assistant used when first turning on the computer after it was purchased which will be re-created automatically.
Launch Mail and decline the prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
Test if this resolves the problem.
My hard disk has many GB free, and I still keep getting the error
message after repairing permissions.
What is your hard drive capacity and available free space?

Mail Preferences Disappeared

Mail was working just fine all day. My wife tries to reply to a message received earlier and gets the following error message:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
I go to Mail->Preferences and the only Preference pane I get is for Junk Mail. General, Accounts, Fonts and Colors, Viewing, Composing, Signatures, Rules are all missing. Can't very well verify the SMTP server settings if the Preference pane isn't there.
My Inbox looks OK and I have received one message since this all started. I can read the contents and was able to empty the Junk Mail and Deleted Messages mailboxes. File sizes in Users->xxx->Library->Mail all are the right size and appear intact.
I've tried a reboot and a complete system shutdown (including power disconnect), but Mail Preferences are still missing. There's nothing in the Trash that looks fishy. I've tried a couple of test messages back to my own e-mail account and got the same error message.
Is there a way to reinstall only the Mail app? Is there some way to find/verify that the Mail Preferences exist?
Need help, here. This is weird-and-a-half. First time in 20 years on Mac that I've seen anything like this.

Dual 2 Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

OK, I found the answer in a reply to another question. The pill-shaped buton in the upper right corner of the Junk Mail Preference pane retrieved the rest of the Preferences and I was able to check my SMTP Server settings, which were correct. My test messages also came through this morning, leading me to believe that my ISP had a problem on their end, which was subesequently corrected.
My habit has always been to close any Preferences window while in the "Show All" mode, so I didn't think to check that first.

I want to forward a message with the default headers included, but can't seem to set my mail preferences to include the headers when forwarding, just the original message ends up in the forwarded message and not the headers?

I want to forward a message with the default headers included, but can’t seem to set my mail preferences to include the headers when forwarding, just the original message ends up in the forwarded message and not the headers? What I'm trying to do is report SPAM and add headers to a spam message to forward to sites that go after the spammers.

Did you check the article and the add-on mentioned there?
