Mail view

New mac user; can mail window be split in portrait verses landscape so highlighted mail can be viewed without opening it, and if so, how is this accomplished? Baba G

10.7.x is a paid ($29.99) upgrade. You are currently using Snow Leopard V10.6.x and Lion is the newest release of OS X, the most current release of Lion is 10.7.2. In order to upgrade to Lion open the Mac App Store and, buy Lion and follow the on-screen instructions. However prior to doing any update I would recommend at the very least backing up using Time Machine or creating a bootable clone using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. This is simply safe (and smart) computing, you ALWAYS want to have a current backup in the event of a disaster.
If you want to find out more about Lion and about what your $29.99 is getting you please navigate to:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/
Please pay close attention the System Requirements to see if your system can handle the update. Also if you use any PPC (Power PC) based apps they WILL NOT run in Lion. What will work are all Intel & Universal apps. You can tell what your apps are by checking in System Profiler (Applications - Utilities - System Profiler) then click Applications in the left hand column and look in the Kind column.

Outlook E-Mail View - Task toolbar - Calendar show more days

Hi
In Outlook 2013 you can enable the Calendar View on the right side of the Mail View:
Here you can see the calendar and the (cut off) text (on top of People panel) "You have nothing else scheduled today". This calendar panel shows only appointments for today.
If I have an appointment tomorrow, the panel doesn't show it. In Outlook 2007 I could see all appointments in near future.
Is there a possibility to show more appointments from the future in this view, not only from today?
Thanks

You can't confirm anything, just like the rest of the Microsoft goons. Shut up if you don't know what you are talking about. Half of Microsoft's problem is that very few of you have any clue.
If you want to preview the calendar on the as you did in 2003+, simply right click on the "Calendar" button at the bottom of Outlook while in the mail view and choose "Dock in Peek". This will pop the calendar up on the right,
in the mail view. If you want to see flagged items, go to "View" and toggle the "To-Do" bar.
Good job Tony. Thanks for sorting it all out for us. smdh
No, I can confirm this is by design in current version of Outlook 2013 RTM. You may go to another thread with the same topic for reference.
Thanks.

Cursor movement in the mail view pane

Hi all,
Is there a way to configure/change the default movement (upward) of the cursor in the mail view pane?
when deleting an item (email) it moves to the upper one and this is particularly annoying
Thanks,
Davide

If apple is listening, this is a foolish default setting... at least there should be an option... APPLE? Hope you got it right for Leopard.

Mail Viewing Options Gone. I need to DISABLE automatically marking a message as read!

In Lion, the Mail Viewing options to disable automatically marking a viewed message as read are gone! I absolutely NEED to disable automatically marking a viewed message as read! How can I disable this if the option isn't present? Is there a workaround?

Ok...I take part of what I said back. It was MailActOn by InDev which allowed me to not automatically have a message marked as read. See http://indev.ca/MailActOn.html for more info.
Apparently the version I had loaded wasn't compatible with Lion Mail.app. Since updating it, I know have this feature again.

CHANGING BACKGROUND COLORS ON MAIL VIEW WINDOW?

The light blue area on the left of the mail view window seems to not have enough contrast to clearly read the number of emails sitting in a particular mailbox. Is there any way to customize the background color to make this more readable?
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce, do you see the darker blue background to increase the contrast with the number, or just the white number on the light blue background?
should look like this:

Missing Mail view??

I upgraded to Yosemite. After lots of problems got it done. Mail works fine. But yesterday I moved my mail folder and plist from a back up and now I am missing my mail view window. I have the mail window. The column with the mail boxes is fine. Column with the emails showing short previews is fine.
But the next column, where a full message would show up if I selected a message, is blank?
If I double click on a message I get a separate window with the full message. But what happened to the view column?

Job Done. 

IF All else fails backup Mac. and Re-install.

IPhone Mail View

Hello Everybody,
I have a problem with the mail view on my new iPhone 4 with the latest IOS.
When I start the mail programm on my old deviece an iPhone 3G with IOS 3.13 it shows me in the first view only all of my accounts.
My new iPhone 4 shows me in the first view all Inboxes and at the bottom of the view it shows me all of my accounts.
But I do not like this. I like only to see my accounts and not all Inboxes.
Is there a possibility to hide all Inboxes in the first view so that I only see all of my accounts.
Thanks for helping me.
Greetings from Germany.
Matthias

That is right !
But I am searching for a solution that my iOS 5 Mail view only shows all of my accounts in the first view.
It does not show all Inboxes.

Customizing mail viewer

Hi,
relative came back from the apple store in tampa with a new macbook, says that they configured his Email for him while he was there and that they set up MacMail so that the mail viewing window was placed on the right side of the mail screen instead of underneath the list of retrieved Emails, when he updated the OS the macmail had reverted to the what I assume is the default configuration with the the viewer below the mail list, I ran repair permissions but I can't find a control pane to manipulate the viewer screen, any ideas?
scotty

Is it possible that what was described was just lowering the bar below the message list to the bottom, so that the 'mail viewing window' becomes a separate (unattached) one when a message is selected for viewing?

Mail Viewer window does not behave according to Apple User Guidelines

I offer this up hoping that an Apple Mail engineer will see it.
Why, oh why can we not click on an open, visible Mail Viewer window in the background and bring it up to the frontmost application unless that click happens in the Mail Viewer Toolbar???
No other application misbehaves this way.
Long overdue for a fix, imo.

this does not need a fix as it doesn't behave like that (on my Mac).
Any part of that window that sticks out behind the top view application is enough to bring that window forward.

Mail Viewing pane requires much horizontal scrolling

I just upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion. Only a few problems but, they are major!
For instance, why is my read/sent mail viewing pane so wide? I have to scroll maybe 4 x the width of my entire screen to get to the end of every sentence.
Using Classic Layout because I can't get the New Layout to work efficiently for my purposes.
Is there some way I can change this?
Thanks!

Well, you asked the wrong question. The Viewing pane isn't too wide, the text is not wrapping as it should.
That happens with the occasional malformed email, but shouldn't happen with all.
You might search here for Mail Word Wrap. This was the closest I found: How to configure OSX Mavericks 10.9 Mail to Text Wrap / Word Wrap

TS3899 IPad Air, Mail, I want incoming e-mails to be displayed as previews that I must click to open. I do not want the already opened e-mail view on the left of my mailboxes. Lu

I know how to delete an e-mail. That is not my question. On my Mac and iphone my email view is of preview of e-mails that I then click to open If I want to read them. I want the same mail view on my I-pad. So that I can delete possible spam mail without opening the e-mail. How do I change the view settings for my mail on my I-pad?

Sorry, you can't. The default mail app always has a mail open. The only way around it is to always have an older mail selected so that it's open, not the newer ones.
or look for another app. I'm afraid that I have no recommendation to make.

"Reply" Mouseover Shortcut Button in Mail Viewer Fails!

The "reply" shortcut button that appears in the right-side e-mail viewer "always' fails to send. I mean it appears to send but there is never any proof in my sent folder and I have only just realized this after realizing that many people have not received emails from me.
The fix is to use the Mail's Menu Bar then "Reply" - this will send out properly and also show the threaded reply message. This works across the board-whether an iCloud e-mail, Google, work, etc.
Is this a bug?
This was an embarrassing find as I use Mac Mail at work and now I have to go back and confirm just how many emails were never sent from me.
Apple - this needs to be immediately fixed. As the lone Apple user at work, now I get to fight off jabs from my peers that Apple can't even make a Mail application that works.
If there is a fix, I'm not sure what it would be as I have a brand new MBP w Retina and the latest ML release and updates.

Hi truesilver,
Wow, never tried that one. I just tried it now - replied to an email and sent it to myself, and then replied to myself (so I didn't have to change the "To"). It sent it out right away (I heard the outgoing Mail swoosh), showed up in my Inbox on all my devices and computer, and also in my Sent Items.
Not sure if it somehow is different if you are replying to someone other than yourself. Does this seem to be an intermittent kind of thing?
If so, then I think the only thing you can do is to make sure you hear the outgoing mail swoosh, and if you don't, see if you can troubleshoot the problem at the time it occurs. Seems kind of weird....
Cheers,
GB

Mail Viewer Window Does Not Open on Launch. Mail Will Not Quit. MAIL BADGER

<UPDATE> After detailing all of the problems below, I discovered that trashing the Mail Badger bundle solved all of the below problems. I am still posting this just in case anybody else has this problem.
Problems:
1. When opening mail.app, the program opens, but it does not launch a Viewer Window. I can open a viewer window manually from the File menu, however.
2. When quitting mail.app, it will not quit. It does not matter whether I hit command-Q, or Mail>Quit Mail, or right-click on dock icon and click Quit. The only way for me to quit is Force Quit. No matter what Quit command I execute, nothing happens. The Viewer Window does not close. (The Viewer Window will close on command, however, either by clicking the red 'x' or by command-W, or by File>Close.
3. Cannot send mail from mail.app. Upon clicking "send" on a new email, it just goes to the Outbox and sits there forever. I can try sending the email again from the Outbox, but nothing happens. (I have 4 gmail accounts, with a couple thousand messages between them. There are no problems with port configurations or smtp servers or anything like that - I am fairly certain anyway because nothing has changed w/ regard to the account settings between the time it was working and the time it stopped working.)
4. After minimizing the Viewer Window, clicking on the mail.app dock icon does not restore the Viewer Window. The only way to restore the Viewer Window is to click on the Viewer window itself in the dock, rather than clicking on the application icon.
Notes: I have installed 10.4.10. I have also installed Safari Beta 3.0.2
I previously installed Safari Beta 3.0, then uninstalled it and upgraded to 3.0.2. I don't recall when the problems started, (under 3.0 or 3.0.2), but they all happened at the same time (rather than one at a time).
I have uninstalled Safari 3 and reverted to Safari 2, but this does not fix the problems.
I have repaired disk permissions.
I have booted from the OS X Install disk and repaired my startup disk.
I have not had any problems with Safari 3 "hanging" on install, thus corrupting the WebKit, as described in other threads.

I had the same issue and resolution. Spotlight search for "Mail Badger" and deleting everything resolves the issue.
I'm also running Safari 3.0.2 and 10.4.10...
I've emailed the developer to let him know about it..

10.9.2 mail viewer not visible & won't quit?

Getting really frustrated now. I love my imac, it has always worked swiftly & flawlessly. I recently upgraded the OS from 10.6 to this new mavericks 10.9.2. All seems to have gone fine except mail. When i first opened mail i spent a few minutes changing the display back to the classic view i am used to. It all seemed to be fine. I think i made it full screen at one point (and this does something with spaces...a new desktop or something)? Anyway, now mail is lit up in the dock but i can't view the window anywhere, nor can i quit mail? What i have found is in the top right corner of screen there is an icon that looks like 3 i's on there side. This brings up the messages down the right hand side of the screen, and i can click on those which opens that one mail in a new window. What i want though is the whole mail with all my messages displayed in date order? Any ideas guys n gals please?

Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

Mail viewer window doesn't open

Just bought a new Mac (of course, the new software comes out next month), I transferred my old stuff from Time Capsule, everything works except Mail. When I open Mail no viewer window appears. When I try to open one nothing happens. When I try to quit I have to force quit the application. Tried searching for resolutions, but everything that comes up is related to 10.5; cant figure out how to restrict the search to 10.7.

I don't suppose it's already running? Try force quit just to see if it's running.
