Mail says ... What do I do?

Today when I turned on my iMac G5 mail said
Mail can not update your mailboxes because your home directry is full.
You must free up space in your home folder before using Mail. Delete unneeded documents or move documents to another volume.
Then it only has the option to quit Mail. What do I do?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Karen,
What mail account are you using? Is it .Mac or some other service?
Check in Mail Preferences. In "Accounts" | "Advanced" the third check box down allows you to say how long messages are stored on the server. If this is unchecked then they will gradually build up (just retrieving them on your iMac doesn't automatically remove them from your ISP's server). My guess is that this is unchecked and you have hit your ISP's limit.
I'm not sure if checking it now and choosing one of the options works retrospectively, but it looks like it should if you slect an option and press "Remove Now".
Have a try and report back.
David.

2nd week running, I received an e-mail saying a new episode of Breaking Bad is available. When I go to download its the "Inside Breaking Bad" short (which gives away spoilers - thanks Apple!) but not the episode itself. What gives?

I've tried this on multiple products so I believe its specific to iTunes not a particular device.

Same thing here- Get the email but nothing but the Inside featurette. It's really annoying. In fact I can't even download it normally using the check for available downloads feature! Every time I do that iTunes tries to download doubles of three Walking Dead episodes I've already downloaded. I don't want what I already have, I just want the new episode.

What does JSESSIONID stand for when accessing Comcast/Xfinity emails? I was told that it means that a person who lives in my apartment bldg is hacking my mails. What say you?

Greetings,
I have had a hacker problem for quite a while. I thought I had rid myself of him. (He is a neighbor in my apt. building). In any case today while attempting to set up a new e mail addy, my existing addy just 'disappeared' from the comcast site !! I did not know what to make of it. I called a friend who is rather tech savvy and understands that I am a bit paranoid after the many many months of serious hacking and the awful history of same that I have experienced. He told me to look at my cookies. I read the list and when I got to the ones that said "sc0112.wc.mail.com.comcast.net", with a cookie named "JSESSIONID" that he thought that the hacker might have, at the very least, got into my e mails. Does anybody have any info on this issue. Other then hard wiring my iMac to a router via a cable modem are there any other steps that I can take to have as safe of an experience as I can have.
I am most grateful to those of you who take the time to read and respond and I thank you in advance.
Thank you.

JSESSIONID cookies are placed in your browser by websites (in this case, the comcast webserver) that want to keep track of your login session. Webservers that you log in to, such as your comcast email site, will set cookies such as this one so they can remember that you are logged in. This JSESSIONID cookie that you have is harmless, and actually necessary for the proper operation of the comcast email site.
But, if someone else (eg. a hacker) were able to get a copy of your JSESSIONID cookie, they could impersonate you; they don't need to know your username or password if they have a current copy of your session cookie.
It's hard to say what's happening to you, but if you suspect something fishy is going on, I'd start with:
- Make sure your wireless router is configured to use WPA or WPA2 security. (WEP is not good enough).
- Change the password on your wireless router! Make it long (12+ chars), with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers, and throw in some other characters like ! # % $, etc
- Change your comcast password, make it a good one too.
- You do own the router, right? You are not connecting to a router owned by someone else?
- When you login to websites, make sure that the login page uses HTTPS. Really, these days, a security-concious website will keep the session over HTTPS at least until the user logs out.

Mail says my Home folder is full?

Strange, Mail keeps telling me it can't save changes (i.e. do anything) because my Home folder is full and that I should move documents? What's the deal? I have no documents in the documents folder in Home... Any ideas?

Corruption of ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index is known to cause this bogus error message in Mail even when there is enough disk space available (but you must make sure that there is enough space available first).
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there's enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

I have asked to get a reminder of my security question for AppID. I confirme my ID with a mail and was told that help was sent to me. But no mail has appered on my mail. What to do?

Most confusing that iTunes ask security questions when I try to bay some Apps. ID and password is ok, but I got to awnser som questions. And I´m not 100% sure of the awnsers. So I marked "forgot ....." And get an Email to confirm my ID. So far so good... I confirme that and got a new mail saying, we are sending information to help you solve this..
But I haven´t recive any mait regarding that.
What to do?
Mikebeth

Hey mikebeth99,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to reset your security questions, and it sounds like you've done everything correctly. One detail to remember is that the Security Question reset email is sent to your Rescue Email Address, not the primary email address. You may want to check any alternate email addresses you own for this email. The following article provides more information:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions

I Forgot my security question answer and I don't have a rescue mail. What can I do?

I forgot my security answer and I don't have a rescue mail. What can I do?

How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

I just got a mail saying that I have to verify my itunes ID, the link directs me to a strange site.

I just got a mail saying that I have to verify my itunes ID, the link directs me to a strange site. Does anybody have an idea what it is about?

Apple does not send mails asking you to verify your ID.

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers
Tom

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

HT4436 I need to change my Apple ID ON MY I-Phone to a new E-Mail address. what do I do??

I need to Change my Apple ID on my I-Phone 4 to a new E-Mail Address, What can I do to Change it.

If you have done so already, you first need to change it with Apple at the website my Apple ID.
(Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

HT4061 I am receiving return e-mails saying undeliverable mail was sent using my e-mail addy as the "from" addy. It is spam mail and some has been sent to U.S. military. It is not coming directly from my e-mail/ i-cloud account. How do I stop it?

I am receiving returne postmaster e-mails saying e-mails were not deliverable, and some say they were blocked as being spam mail because they were sent to U.S. military addresses. The e-mails are coming from an outside source and are not being sent directly from my e-mail, but whoever is doing it is putty my address in as the sender. How do I stop this?

at this point the best you could do would be to delete your email account, or ignore the emails
