Mail receives mail automatically when I open it. How do you stop this?
I have set up my Mail to "Check for new mail manually" in preferences. However it checks for mail when I start the program. I'd rather it not and make it a totally manual process.
Is there any way to stop it?. Thanks!
Are you sure the account is checked for new mail?
A .Mac type account is really an IMAP type account so any mailboxes stored on the server (under the .Mac account icon in the mailboxes drawer) are automatically synchronized with the server when first launching Mail and connected to the internet if the account is enabled under the Advanced tab for the account preferences.
I have 3 POP type accounts, a .Mac account and 2 IMAP type accounts. As a test, I deselected "Include when automatically checking for new mail" for all accounts and then quit and re-launched Mail. None of my accounts checked the incoming mail server for new mail but all server stored mailboxes for my .Mac account were synchronized with the server.

When curser is on hyper link the URL will display on the bottom of the screen in the background.(where done is located when site is loaded) How do you control this function?
Do you want to control that via code on a web page to prevent visitors from seeing the link or do you ask as a Firefox user?<br />
Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
[ ] "Hide the status bar"
[ ] "Change the status bar text"
The Status Bar will be gone in Firefox 4.0 and is replaced by the (View > Toolbars) Add-on bar that extensions can use. -

I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?
You should be able to open both accounts.
I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
(With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

every time my mac starts up, my MS office package starts up (MS Word, Excel, PP) and also my Pages software. How do I stop this from happening. We operater OSx Lion...
First check your login items under your user account and make sure that they are not selected to load. Then make sure that when you restart or shutdown that you don't have the "reopen windows..." checkbox ticked.

When I open Firefox, my home page (BBC) opens normally, then, after a few seconds Yahoo opens automatically in a second tab and the screen goes to Yahoo. How do I stop this?
If you use Ctrl + left-click or middle-click a link then the link should open in a new tab.<br />
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out, when I reopen it all of my pages are gone. How do I stop this from happening?
But if iit won't stay open, then it's quitting unexpectedly which is the same as a crash.
There has to be a reason for that which a crash report should reveal.

I just loaded lion on my macbook pro, and everytime i turn on the computer, every thing i did in the last session, like word, instant messanger, sites, pop-up-how do i stop this and just get to my desktop when the computer is first turned on--please help!
Remember that you can just put your Macbook to sleep by closing the lid. Unless you're not going to use it for a few days this makes more sense than shutting it down. I sleep my MBP overnight and it uses about 3% of battery power. I only shut it down if I install updates.

As soon as Bell Email opens, the corner symbol continues to turn and then closes my email web account. Usually hitting the ESC keys stops this but not always. I just upgraded to the new Firefox and am still having the same problem. This does not happen if I log onto my Bell Email account through Internet Explorer. This is unique to Firefox.
Freezes and system crashes should be virtually non-existent with a new machine (assuming it has not been polluted with bad third party software). If this were happening to me with a new machine I would return it.

I have multiple tabs opening when I open Firefox, how do I make this stop?
I have 3 differnet tabs that open when I open Firefox
1. Your almost there-wanting me to update Firefox
2. My home page IGoogle
3. LastPass
I did upgrade my Firefox but then alot of my programs quit working so I went back to version 3.6.24 and ever since I get these 3 windows that come up. Its getting very frustrating. Can anyone help me.Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Just switched from Lion to Mountain Lion - Now, when I start my machine, the terminal shows up and runs through it's thing and then the normal screen shows up. This also happens when I shut down as well - the terminal shows up again. I have a MAC running Mountain Lion at work and this doesn't happen so I'm assuming this is not normal.
While my machine still runs, it's annoying and I fear this will lead to problems if I don't address the situation. How do I ge this to stop? Any help would be greatly appreciated.They are being sent to the All Mail folder. The inbox is pretty much unaffected.
I don't want to hide the All Mail folder and forget about it. I am after the messages gone forever. Especially from the All Mail folder.
I'm the kind of person who uses email like sms. I use it to contact people annd delete 95% of the messages after reading. I don't want them archived. I don't want them stored in the All Mail folder. I want them totally gone.
And yes it seems Mail is downloading all my messages over and over. So my question is how to stop the messages being stored/archived and to instead be totally deleted.
In the gmail settings I found:
Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Immediately delete the message forever. Instead of archiving it like I had set before. I'm not 100% sure if that'll fix the issue I am having. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me if I am on the right track.
And thanks for the quick reply. -

If the page contains the link you clicked on, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on Tabs, and change the settings as desired.
If the page contains an ad, click here and run the tool.
