Messages unintentionally being sent in mac mail when I press return or close spell check.

Since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2, I have an issue where my messages in Mac Mail would be sent prematurely. I wasn't sure what was going on and it was getting quite frustrating. I soon realized it was when I hit the return key and/or finish spell check. I never experienced this before and its annoying as all heck. Is this a bug or a new function in Mac Mail? If so, is there a fix?

Try going to the Mail/Preferences/Accounts and deselect 'Enable this account' for 1 account. Re-launch Mail and see if you get the same behavior. Trying to see if this can be isolated to a particular account. Repeat as necessary until you have checked all accounts. If you can find out what account it is, delete the account and set it up again.

  • Since updating to OS5, my text messages are being sent as e-mails.  Also, my contacts do not show the people's phone

    Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5, it seems my texts are being sent as e-mails or in e-mail form. The person I am texting gets a phone number and not my name.  Also, when I click on contacts to text to, where it used to show the phone number and I would touch the number to text, it just shows the persons name, no phone#.
    Thanks for any help!

  • I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

    I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
    Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers

    The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

  • My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work.

    My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work. Any ideas?

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

  • My mac mail sends a false return address

    my mac mail sends a false return address.
    isp (Att yahoo) indicates false return address is one of thiers, but cannot understand how our computer finds it inorder to send out. The false address lists an odd email server (pimout) instead of sbcglobal ([email protected]).
    isp suggests mac mail must be making contact with the server, and finding this address, some how in a search for it's appropriate address is the theory, because it is one of their's.....but has never been our address..
    So, I don't really care why, but figure if I trash the right lib/pref file, I can lose this problem.
    help

    Paul, this is not a very clear description of your problem, but let's give it a try;
    In your Preferences for Mail, Accounts, what do you have there as email name? the correct address?
    Can you send me an email (provided somewhere in my profile when you click on my name) so I can see what the data in there looks like?

  • My safari is not working. Every time i click on it says to reopen or dont reopen. i press reopen i gives me this long screen and it says reopen or press okay. when i press ok it closes the box and doesnt open. when i press reopen the long screen stay

    . Every time i click on it says to reopen or dont reopen. i press reopen i gives me this long screen and it says reopen or press okay. when i press ok it closes the box and doesnt open. when i press reopen the long screen and stays like that.

    If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • For the past day or 2 mail sent from .Mac Mail is not being delivered.

    I have been using .Mac Mail and Apple Mail application on my computer for about 10 months. The past 2 days when I go to .Mac Mail online, compose an e-mail, click on send, get the message that says, "Your message has been sent." The e-mail is also in my Sent folder but the e-mail message is not delivered. I sent an e-mail this way to my Hotmail account, my Yahoo account and even to myself at my .Mac Mail account and none of them were delivered. I tried several times at different times and I just tried again now. Still no good. They never went to any of the inboxes even hours later. Is there something wrong with the outgoing .Mac Mail sever? Or what else can it be?

    You didn't say what troubleshooting you did after the firmware update and problem...
    To get started...
    Verify your drive with Disk Utility.
    Repair permissions with Disk Utility (probably not the issue, but won't hurt)
    Try:
    mailbfr -o
    mailbfr -f
    If you are still stuck, you'll need to post more detail about your configuration, hopefully more log detail and the contents of imapd.conf and the output of postconf -n

  • Droid Maxx- Outgoing email messages stuck in outbox. When you click on them, it says- message is being sent and cannot be opened- how can I clear them out?

    This is my work email. I still receive emails. I just can't send any outgoing. They are stuck in the outbox. When I check my email on my computer at work, nothing in the outbox, and they don't show as being sent. Log jam. How can I remove them? Already did a restart, etc.

    I have had the same problem - stuck for 2 days, but I still can send & receive emails. I tried your suggestion - it worked! Thanks! 

  • VALUABLE HINT: How to send .Mac mail when SMTP is blocked

    See: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060113084246213
    Read ALL the comments...the info buried in them explains using SSL and ports and how to protect your .Mac account whether POP or IMAP.
    Help keep your dotmac password from being compromised.
    If you run your .Mac Mail through the Mail app, use the alternate port for the smtp server: 587 and click SSL.
    Go into Prefs and Advanced tab and click SSL to use the IMAP secure port: 993.
    READ THE HINT AND ALL COMMENTS. You will be glad you did.

    I configured the IDM from Configure--> servers -->Edit Server Settings page ,Email Template, as filled form:
    Default SMTP Server      192.168.22.222
         Use default
    Default SMTP Port      25

    When I run the "ALL USERS" report, I select the 'Email Report' and filled the mail address. But after running the report , I can't receive email and no error messages displayed.
    Could you tell me how to do I can debug or trace the messages if the IDM sent or not sent mail , if it connects to mail server ?
    Thanks.

  • Email messages not being sent

    For the past several weeks I can not sent outgoing messages via my [email protected] email account. I get incoming messages but when I send something it appears in my sent folder but people don't receive my message at all?  I have a Macbook pro retina, relatively new bought in Dec 2013. I use the Mac Mail program (8.2 (2070.6) and have the latest MAC OSX installed (OSX Yosemite 10.10.2). I have checked and there are no newer updates.  I have tried deleting my email account and reinstalling it on the MACBOOK PRO, but  that doesn't help on either my wife’s or my cox.net email. My address is of the type [email protected] provided thru my TV Cable/internet provider.  The instructions from Cox say to set the incoming server to imap.cox.net and Port  993 with SSL checked. It is.  When I reinstall the email account under "MAIL/Add Account/Add other email account, the installer does it automatically and wont let me set the outgoing mail server so I can’t see what port it is set to and I can’t find any way to see what the outgoing server is set to? My Cox provider says the outgoing port should be set to Port 465 or 587 with SSL set to yes.
    Under Accounts/Advanced the only information provided says it is using a IMAP Hostname of: imap.cox.net, Port 993 and Use SSL is checked. As said earlier this part is OK.
    I have a gmail account that appears to work fine on the same laptop.  What can I do to resolve this serious situation?
      PLEASE Help In the past with similar problems when I talk to someone at Apple they say it is a Cox problem and when I talk to Cox they say it is an Apple/Mac problem

    Let be expand on what I have tried.
    I have 4 email accounts. From my Mail account on the Mac I send emails to  myself (1) and wife emails (2) at our cox account, gmail account (3) and iCloud account (4). All are received fine and show up in my sent folders and inbox
    I go to the Cox external website (webmail.west.cox.net) where I can log in as if I am on an external computer and send my self test messages from my cox account. I also get these
    I ask people to send me emails to all 4 accounts. I get these
    However when we send from the MAC Mail from either of our cox accounts, these do not get to their intended recipients even though they show up as being sent and as I copy myself they also get delivered to my inbox on the Mac. But that is as far as they go. The intended recipient does get them. Unfortunately, Mac Mail doesn't allow you to request a read receipt. so I have no way of knowing if they get them other than to ask them to respond each time.
