Mailto problem - proprietary email webclient
We have a lab full of G5 for students and I teach Web development. I use the mailto tag extensively but in the Mac lab it does not work. For obvious reasons, the IT guys have shut off access to the Mail program since it is an open lab. Also, the campus has developed (or purchased) a proprietary web-based email client for the students and faculty.
I need the mailto tag to open this web page that goes to the student's email client and send the data from the form that is using the mailto tag to me.
Is this a hopeless request?
Are there other solutions in regards to getting data from the mailto? We have no access to cgi and php on this server.
All Macs Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Greetings and welcome,
Have you set the default mail programs to a web browser? Preferably one with the home page set to the correct site.

Hi all -
I am using RoboHelp v7. I inherited my KB's already set up, but have been maintaining them for a couple of years now. However, we moved from Outlook to Google mail, and users are no longer able to send email from Robo. Note that I am able to send email from any other webpage using my corporate gmail account, having set up my mailto to utilize gmail.
I have email addresses in my KB's in two formats, and tried a third based on a post I read.
A regular mail to - where I've simply created a link to an email address, such as - "please contact the ECCN Reviewers via email to Eccn PCM-PCMECCN."
with the link set as - mailto:[email protected]
A script that was created by the original owner, which contains one line - this always worked previously
document.write("<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + "Change request for '"+ document.title + "' page of the MotoPDM Help System\">MotoPDM Help Admin</a>");
I read Peter's Snippet #38 - Email this topic - and created a new snippet based on what he had - this didn't work either
<p><script type="text/javascript">
var mailSubject = 'Useful Information';
var mailBody = 'This page might help: ' + location.href;
var mailDisplay = 'Click here for a demo.';
document.write(
'<a href="mailto:[email protected]'
+ '?subject=' + escape(mailSubject)
+ '&body=' + escape(mailBody)
+ '">' + mailDisplay + '</a>'
);</script></p>
In all three examples above, when I click on an email link, the main page of the KB goes blank, and nothing happens.
If I click on a normal webpage link (such as http://www.swingandblues.com/about.html, Greg Avakian - "[email protected]", I generate an email without issue.
I'd appreciate any assistance, I have no idea where to go next.
Thank you,
Anahid AvakianHi William -
Sorry for delay - we are working on a release and that took precedence over everything else for a few days... first - thank you for all your assistance. I do have an issue, but I'm sure it's me doing something wrong. I'm getting a run time error...
This is my original script:
document.write("<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + document.title + " section of the PDM1 KB\">[email protected]</a>");
So I replace it with your Java Script, and yes - I still have the red box in the WYSIWYG page
+d++ocument.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Mailto(\''+document.title+'\')" >youremail</a>');+
The HTML looks like this:
Problem with this page? Click here: <script>+d++ocument.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Mailto(\''+document.title+'\')" >@[email protected]</a>');+</script>
to provide feedback</p>
When I preview it, I get this error:
A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?
Line 33 Error: Expected ';'
If I publish, I just get a plus sign for the email -
Then, if I add the additional info in the HTML page just before script, I get this error when previewing (after saving) - Line 35 Error: Syntax Error and Line 40 Error: Syntax Error:
Problem with this page? Click here:
+<script type="text/javascript">+
+function Mailto(subject) {+
+ var HTML = 'mailto:mailto:[email protected]?subject='+subject+'+ section of the PDM1 KB';
+window.open(HTML,'Email');+
+}
+
+</script>+
<script>+d++ocument.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Mailto(\''+document.title+'\')" >@[email protected]</a>');+</script>
to provide feedback</p>
My WYSIWYG page does have two red boxes, but they both have plus signs in front of them (which is different than it was with my original script). And if I publish, I just get two plusses:
Any suggestion?
Thank you,

Problems Receiving Emails and some data on WIFI since latest software update.
Problems Receiving Emails and some data on WIFI since latest software update.
My blackberry torch will not receive emails on wifi since the latest software update, I've tried numerous wifi networks and several handsets, even had them replaced and received a brand new. Still the same problem.
When turning off the wifi network on the torch, the phone will stall for 5-10min while it tries to communicate with the network (vodafone) to receive outstanding emails and data.
Can someone please inform Blackberry and get a quick fix on thisSounds like you have Do NOt Disturb turned on.

Problems with email and SMS after 1.3.5
Let me first say that I love the Pre. Up until this point it has been perfect - I have a replacement, but that is because I dropped it (wrong angle, wrong location, broken screen). However, following the 1.3.5 update I'm now having a fairly important problem with email and sms - I can receive email and messages, but not send them.
I have two email accounts. My personal account is with earthlink. My work account goes through an ISP using the domain name of my employer. I'm not using Microsoft Exchange or Outlook. I have tried deleting and reentering the accounts and that did not work. I can receive messages but get error messages when I try to send.
The same for messaging. I don't use it very often. But yesterday I get a text message and tried to respond and got the error message.
I power the phone off every night because I have a landline and use that as the primary phone at home.
I have been looking around message boards trying to find a fix for this. Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?
Thank you.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

This question was solved.
View Solution.I forgot to add that this is a stock Pre. There are no patches or homebrew apps.
Edit:
I found a fix for the email problem, in posts on precentral and this board from a few months ago. The info came up in a Google search, and not searches of the boards, which is kind of frustrating. Here is the info, and the link. I really wish Palm would put info about this work around on their site, or at least make it easy for people to find. The solution is the last message in the thread linked below:
Had the same problem. Checked with Earthlink - no help. Checked with Sprint - no help. Checked with Palm - no help. Here is what finally worked:
Delete the earthlink account and start over. When you do - this is the key - set up the account manually! If you use the Pre defaults and try to change the settings it will not correct the problem. Your settings for outgoing mail must be:
"smtpauth.earthlink.net"
Use Authentication set to "on"
username is your email address
your email password
port set to "587"
encryption "none"
Again, the key is to set up manually.

Problems sending emails with iPhone 3G and outlook exchange
I have a problem sending email with exchange. Receiving and answering mail works fine and calender updates work fine. However when I initiate an email from the phone it syncs and ends up in the sent folder in the computer but never reaches the recipient. I have tried this many times with different recipients and phones. It only happens from my iphone and ipad. Any suggestions?
Any help much appreciatedThe iPhone you returned is still syncing against your server and locking out your account. Someone possibly has access to your mail data. I'd recommend having your Exchange Administrator install the Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync Web Administration Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E6851D23-D145-4DBF-A2CC -E0B4C6301453&displaylang=en) and attempt to wipe/delete/block that other iPhone.

Why is apple not providing information on what the problem withe email is and what they are doing to fix, along with a time frame for fixing the problem.
It was because the problem was major. If you do not know tech, you should know that a two day outage usually indicates some type of virus, hack, or a bad software load that they had to unravel. The common way to solve that is to rebuild servers and put back into service. That takes time.
Apple did not want to admit this problem. My guess at this stange was that they loaded new software that might be associated with the new IOS and it crashed. To reveal this would be to cast into doubt their future revenue.
Either way. Run do not walk away from Icloud products and services. Apple has demonstrated they can not be a business partner. -
I am having a problem with email. I can receive and send, but when I delete, the deleted messages return into either Trash or Bin or both whether or not I have deleted them from my PC.
The only way I can get rid of them permanently, is to go into my area of my providers site(Sky) and empty all of the boxes there. I imagine it's a setting, please advise.For IMAP mail only.

Problem sending emails when saved first as a draft. When I go to send the final draft, it disappears, including the draft. Very upsetting, happened many times but not consistently...
Help please, any ideas?I can’t edit emails saved in drafts for both email accounts that I have. Double tapping on the email in the left hand list does nothing. Doubling tapping on the email gives me options to copy or define. Tried resetting the by holding the home and power keys down until the apple appears but nothing. Without this function the ipad is pretty pointless. Is my device faulty? Any help appreciated.

Problems with email, Macbook Pro, Yosemite
Keep getting knocked out of email. Different errors, mostly cannot connect to server. Per Apple's mail support page. One of the settings should be Password. When I change to password in settings, it keeps switching to MD5 Challenge -Response. Could this be causing my problems with email?
I have a macbook pro & am using the latest Yosemite. But have been having these problems before installing Yosemite. No email problems on an iPad.
Thanks for your help.UPDATE for anyone who's interested.
I called Apple support. The woman was very helpful and, so far, seems to have corrected my issues. She removed & reinstalled my email accounts. The problem was that the accounts were set up as POP accounts when they should have been IMAP accounts. The authentication is now set to Password and all mail settings are as shown in the Apple's Mail Settings Lookup page. -
Please can anyone help with the continuing password rejection problem with email on my imac.My Ipad and other systems work fine but despite reloading my password on imac it bounces back.Apple store has been visited and I have tried everything they suggest.
I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta. -
Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!
Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!
For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem. I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail. I did the conversion while running Yosemite. I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!! The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space. The message begins at the top of p.2.
If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message. Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message.
Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem?? I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message. So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired. Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!! Anyone else made any progress on this?
