Mail sends when I hit return

Don't know what happened.  But when I hit return to start a new paragraph it SENDS. Is there some weird preference that suddenly activated?

This has happened to me ever since upgraded from 10.6.  When I was in the Apple store in November 2013 they said it was a known bug, obvioulsy they have not fixed it.  I'm running 10.8.5

  • Mail sends when I hit the return key

    For some reason as I'm typing an email,when I hit the return key, not everytime, Mail will send my email out. An unfinished, sometimes embarrasing email. I don't know how this started, but it is quite frustrating. Is there any fix to this?
    I'm using OS 10.9.1
    Thanks!

  • Please can someone explain how to delete email addresses?  I have people who when I type in their name it comes up with the correct email address but then when you hit return to confirm it promptly changes the name to someone else (always the same someone

    Please can someone explain how to delete and email address that when typed in brings up one name but when you hit return to confirm it jumps to another name.  I can't find them in my contacts list but they do come up when you type the first few letters of a name.
    EG If I type xyz and the name of the person comes up, when I press return to confirm that's the one I want then it jumps to [email protected],  always the same def address.
    I can't fathom it out.
    Thanks
    Terri

    Try this:
    Start a new email.  In the To address bar, type in xyz like you normally do, press return to confim, and when the address you want to remove shows up in the address bar, move your cursor over the address you want to delete.
    A small triangle next to the name will show up.  click on it, a drop down menu will open, click Remove from Previous Recipients List.  Then do the drop down menu again and Remove Address.
    Good luck.

  • Mail sends when on Wi-Fi but not on Edge

    Like the subject says, I can send mail out when on my Wi-Fi, but mail will not send when I'm using Edge. I can receive mail while using either though. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    You can't send with either account?
    AOL has an authenticated SMTP server, which should provide for sending with your AOL account when connected to any internet service provider through a Wi-Fi network or when connected via EDGE.
    If your school does not have an authenticated SMTP server for your school's email account, you won't be able to send when not connected to the internet at your school.
    Most internet service providers (even AT&T with their EDGE network), block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) unless the SMTP server is authenticated. These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain. We can thank low-life spammers for this.
    Your SMTP server settings for AOL's SMTP server should be as follows:
    SMTP Server: smtp.aol.com
    Server Port: 587
    Authentication: Password
    User Name: Your AOL screen name for the account - or the portion of your AOL email address in front of the @ sign only.
    Password: The password for your account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Not sure if AOL supports this with their SMTP server but if they do, you want this selected.

  • When I hit return after typing, the cursor returns to the beginning of the sentence

    I open a new layer.
    I type my text
    I hit return'
    The cursor starts typing at the beginning of the sentence, typing right over the text I just finished.  It will not go to the next line.  I've been using PS since 2 and I have never seen this nor do I know what to do about it.
    Help...
    Thanks

    There are all sorts of gotchas in the Character panel.  That line of  T T TT Tt  at the bottom produce faux styles, for instance, so if you find all your text is capitalized, or strikethrough, you'll know where to look.  You'll notice I had vertical scale set to 118%?  Well I had forgotten that was set that way, and I will have been laying out distorted text because of it!  Purists frown upon changing a fonts aspect ratio that way, because it spoils a carefully designed font — they would say to find the right font for the job.  That is much easier than it used to be now we have TypeKit with its useful, and much appreciated filters.  Also be aware of the anti-aliasing at the bottom right corner, and also on the options bar when the Type tool is selected.  I think some users go years without realizing that is there, and then wonder why their text is all jagged.

  • I want firefox to open windows live mail composer when I hit the maito: on a webpage. How do I get that to happen?

    I have firefox 4 and windows live mail. I would like firefox to open a composition window so I can write an email when I hit the mailto: links on a webpage.

    Problem solved, I went into Mail> Prefrences> and changed my default mail reader! Thanks!

  • I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. The number goes in OK but when I hit return or any other key the numbers get transposed. What happens and how do I corret it?  Thanks

    I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. It types in OK, but when I press return or close the document some of the letters in the password get transposed. What happens and how can I fix this? Thanks.

    Are you just typing ordinary text into a word processing document or are you trying to set a password on the document itself?
    If it is the first perhaps Pages is trying to spell check the password. You can tell it to ignore that "word", or turn spellchecking off.

  • My Microsoft Word inserts a page break when I hit return

    If I press delete to remove the page break, it brings the sentence back into the previous paragraph.  If I hit return again to make the sentence into a new paragraph, as it is supposed to be, the computer/program inserts a page break, vaulting me onto the next page and leaving the previous half-page (or a bit more) blank. 
    Ideas?  I have restarted.
    Thanks.

    Hi c,
    Try the following:
    Select the paragraph following the unwanted page break.
    On the Format menu, click Paragraph, and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab.
    Clear the Keep lines together, Keep with next, and Page break before check boxes.

  • Mail quits when I hit reply

    Recently moved to a new job, and have my personal mac as my main workstation, connected to a standard monitor, keyboard and mouse. I have a very similar setup at my home office.
    A few days ago, I started getting an unusual error whereby mail would unexpectedly quit when I tried to reply to a message. This repros every time, but doesn't repro when I connect to my home network (via Airport).
    I tried searching using some key things out of the error report--it looks maybe like a kernel failure/inaccessible memory address problem (he said quite tentatively)? But so far have found nothing that works. I thought it was a driver issue, so I tried new keyboard/mouse and none at all (still repros). I thought it might be a corrupted mail prefs issue, so deleted com.apple.mail.plist but it still happens.
    I thought it might be a problem with my accounts, so I deleted each mail account (there are several, a mixture of POP and IMAP, google and .mac) and re-added each account.
    Now I'm getting a new, additional problem. The original bug still repros, but now all my messages show up in beige in the main list window as if they're junk (they were just all getting sent to junk, until I turned off the send-to-junk mail-folder feature). If I mark them not junk, they turn black; when I quit out of mail and open it again, they're beige again.
    Everything updated in terms of my sys software. Any ideas? IS there a way to just uninstall/reinstall mail, or do you have to do a whole new system install?
    Here is the first bit of the failure report--let me know if you need more. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks David- Still a problem, though. I did the following:
    -Repaired disk using disk utility from OSX install disk
    -Installed combined update
    -Updated further using system update
    -Repaired permissions
    -Followed your directions in other threads for re-setting the junk mail filter (which seems to have helped my other problem).
    I am still having the issue. No problem when I'm using my laptop at home, crashes when I try and reply to a message only when I'm connected to my office lan.

  • Mail sending when QRFC is blocked

    Hi ,
    The requirement is that i need to send mails to certain people when the QRFC queue ( SMQ1 )  is blocked .
    The idea is to send a mail when we have 10 messages awaiting on the corresponding queue.
    Please let me know if this can be achieved.
    regards

    Other way..just to tell you
    Create another task in approval process which will send the email to requester and attach it with Reject Response of Approve Task in task to generate mapping.

  • When I hit reply on the .Mac Mail site, an incorrect address is generatedW

    When I'm using the mail program on the Internet .mac site, and hit reply to respond to a letter I received, inevitably the automatic address generated by the program won't function. The reply button puts the person's name and then e-mail address in brackets on the address line. When I hit the command to send, I receive a message that the address is not a valid e-mail address. Then I have to go back and erase the name and remove the brackets-then I am able to send the e-mail. Is everyone having this problem with mail on the .Mac site? I mean I am not typing in the e-mail address incorrectly. The program generates the return e-mail address when I hit reply and it is always incorrect because it puts the person's name as part of the e-mail. Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks
    Jim Lindsey

    Hi,
    This happens to me when the person's name you are
    replying to contains a comma and webmail tries to
    send it to two people.
    eg if a mail comes from SURNAME, FORENAME
    <[email protected]> then I will get an
    error as the program thinks that SURNAME is an
    invalid address
    but I get an error message every time. It brings up the person's name followed by the email address in brackets. Then when I try to send, I get the message that this is not a valid address. Is this happening with everyone on .Mac site? Surely not or they would fix it.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 & suddenly cannot send photos thru e-mail.  It looks like it's working ok; but when I hit Send nothing happens and the program stops responding.  Any suggestions?

    I have starter 3.0 and cannot share pictures via outlook express. Evidently that version is discontinued and my outlook express does not support the MAPI that is required. I think the only solution is to upgrade to photoshop
    elements or to send photos as attachment to your e-mail.  I have the same problem using Zoom Browser EX sending photos via internet. I spent a whole day trying to resove this issue and have exhausted all options. Just like "Instant share" in HP image Zone that was replace by photoshop album starter 3.0 and now it is out dated.

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • TS3899 How do I change the address that my iphone sends when i send mail.  I have deleted the account but it still shows up as the account that will be replyed to if people hit reply.

    How do I change the address that my iphone sends when i send mail.  I have deleted the account but it still shows up as the account that will be replyed to if people hit reply.

    Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
    For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
    When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?
