Microsoft Word email merge with Apple Mail Question

Hi
I like using word to merge data such as letters but use apple mail as main email application. Does anyone know if it's possible to email merge from word to be sent by apple mail?

You may want to search and/or post in Microsoft's own forums for their Office Mac products:

Has anyone found the solution to email disappearing with Apple Mail?

Hello,
I have seen quite a number of postings about email disappearing with Apple's Mail client, regardless of what account they are using (yahoo, gmail, aol, etc.). What I have noticed is that email vanishes right in front of my eyes from the folders I have created to keep my email in order. Sometimes I move a message or several and I see them in the folder for a day or two, and then a few days later they are simply gone. This happens from the sent folder too. It is random. No, they are not in the trash, or junk, or anywhere else. Doing a full search turns nothing. They are really, really gone.
Sometimes, I go to a folder and I see how in a second one or several messages disappear from the list and that is it. Never to be found again. Not even if I visit the web-based account I can retrieve them. They are gone.
The worst part is when they disappear from my sent folder immediately after they leave the outbox, so I am not sure if it sent or not, and I have to retype the whole thing again just to make sure.
This is extremely annoying, and I have seen I am not the only one to which this happens. Has anyone found a fix for this bug? Should I simply keep all my email in my inbox? Or should I just give up on Apple Mail and use Thunderbird?
I have an old powerbook G4 with 10.4 and Mail 2. Not like it makes much difference, I've seen people complaining about the same issue in later versions of OS and Mail.
Thanks for any help

Problem setting up ATT email account with Apple Mail

I have a main ([email protected]) and sub email account ([email protected]) with ATT/Yahoo (formerly SBC).
I set these accounts up on Apple Mail for the first time, and selected the option "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message "RIGHT AWAY". But Apple Mail would not allow me to select that option for both the primary and sub account. It allowed me to select that option for the first account I set up (the sub account), but when I tried to select that option for the second account (the main account), it would not permit me to save the option and gave me the following error message:
The account path /Users/edelbert/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.att.yahoo.com is already being used by the account "GIFilm"
It will allow me to select the option to remove the copy AFTER ONE WEEK, but then I receive the same message over and over each time Apple Mail checks the ATT server.
ATT claims that it is the result of an SSL conflict between its software and Apple's, and claims that Apple has created a bug fix, but I can find no evidence of such a patch.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

As far as I can tell, the problem might be with my password. It's working on my iPhone, but not my computer.
If it's just a matter of changing the password, it's cool. But I can't figure out how to change the password.
Any ideas on changing the password in mail preferences?
Thanks,
mhh

IMac won't print microsoft word doc "open with" apple pages

When its set to open with pages it just freezes the pages program and wont print. If I set it to open with textedit or some other program then it will print. Note, if I open it first with pages then it will print from within pages. It just wont print using file > print from the apple menu. Whats the fix for this? Currently I have it set to open all word docs in LibreOffice in order to print docs with ease. But I would rather use apple pages app.

I felt i had to come to help you if your problem was not solved.
I've a customer who just came up with this problem. He is using Office 2003 on Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits. He is using also a Color LaserJet 2600n. We just reinstalled his software on a new computer and we started experiencing "Current Printer Is Unavailable" in Excel. When trying to access Page Setup, it was also giving us that same message, and
then we had a dialog listing every computer available.
We produced a PDF, tried to print from Acrobat Reader, it crashed too the same way you mentionned.
Here's what happenned:
We first installed the driver available from HP web site
We did some updates from Microsoft Web Site. There was an optional hardware update for the LaserJet 2600n, so we installed it. This update is completely {Language Filter Evasion}
Uninstall your printer driver (well, just remove it from your printer list)
Then reinstall it. In our case, it was accessed thru IP.
When it was installing, it asked us to keep the same driver or REPLACE the driver... pick-up REPLACE the driver!
And you are good to go...

Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

Hello everyone,
I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it.
They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook.
Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
I then setup the second btinternet email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
Please help
Thanks in advance
PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

WildBlue Internet Service With Apple Mail

Hello-
Some friends of mine have a new Intel iMac 20", and have hooked up with WildBlue Internet Service via satellite. They are having no problems getting online, but are so far using WildBlue web mail for their email.
They have had no luck in configuring the settings in Apple Mail to set up their WildBlue account, and the WildBlue support people they have spoken with are not familiar with Macs at all.
Is there anyone out there who has successfully configured a WildBlue email account with Apple Mail? If so, I'd really appreciate some info on how to set it up.
Thanks for any advice that anyone could give.

How do I add a desktop link to gmail? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link to two other email accounts.

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)? What vendor should we use to make it push and work well? We want to stay with Apple Mail.

Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain. iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail. Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/ a lot more expensive?

Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

Secure Emailing with Apple Mail/OS X

Greetings everyone.
I've been tangled in an email mess for a month now, and I need to resolve it before a hoard of friends and business contacts lose faith in me. All ideas are welcome!
The story so far. Our family has multiple email accounts with a local ISP, vallnet.com. A month ago we finally got satellite internet access through HughesNet.com. We want to keep a cheap account with vallnet, though, and continue using our vallnet email addresses. Vallnet has a procedure for accessing their email servers through another ISP. I followed their instructions, imported their authentication certificate, and was able to download emails.
Sending emails is another matter. I tried every possible configuration for my Mail account smtp settings, and eventually took a MacBook Pro over to vallnet for them to configure. After a few days they returned it. They say that it is impossible to access their secure smtp server using Mail. They say that their system is entirely standard complient, but that Mail or OS X is making some assumptions about protocols that will not work with their server. IS THIS LIKELY? If so, WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT???
They suggested relaying our outgoing emails through HughesNet's server. Hughesnet does not allow this.
Vallnet suggested getting a static IP from HughesNet which they could tell their server to accept. I checked and this would require us to upgrade our service plan with HughesNet, plus pay a monthly fee. This totals around $300/year, so is not an appealing solution.
Vallnet, of course, also points out that most of their clients are using Outlook Express, and if we just used it...... Nope! I love Macs and I'd really prefer to stay with Apple Mail. Is there any hope of this?
I've spent a month wrestling with this mess. I keep calling various company's tech support lines, but there seems to be a universal rule that forbids techs from two companies from consulting with each other. They keep telling me that the problem is not on their end, and spouting technical Jibberish that I try to relay to the next tech on the next call. I'm afraid they all realize I haven't got a clue, and my sanity and sense of humor have just about evaporated.
Okay, Folks, any ideas?
Many thanks!

Hello and thanks.
Yes, at vallnet's suggestion I tried using port 587 and later port 425. No luck. They say that other mail programs are not having difficulties.
They said they had found some articles on the web about how other small ISPs had also had difficulties with secure connections and Apple Mail. I have not found any such articles yet, and they have not forwarded any links to me.
Yes, I have been wondering which set of tech support folks was giving me the biggest runaround. You're probably correct, though I suspect both have been less than enthusiastic about trying.
Yep, we've considered switching email addresses. With several businesses and some personal accounts, this would be a major headache. It seems like a good last resort, but not something that we are happy to do. If we can figure out secure emails, this would be far preferable.
I do appreciate the feedback. I will keep your suggestion in reserve.
Many thanks!

Mail Question, What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail?

Not sure which forum to post this in, so excuse me if this is the wrong place.
What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail? I'm new to Mac and apparently my hotmail accounts don't seem to work. What about Yahoo or Gmail?
Thanks,
Alina

What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail?
Those that use either of the IMAP or POP3 protocols.
What about Yahoo or Gmail?
Gmail and Yahoo Plus will work; standard Yahoo won't. Click here for more information.

Create individual messages with Apple Mail

I'd like to be able to send a message to a group of from my CONTACTS and be able to address each person by first name (from the CONTACT record.)
Something like:
Dear xxx,
Etc etc
Each recipient would get the same message but with his/her name where the XXX is in the greeting.
This is similar to a word processing program's Mail Merge feature.
Is there any way to do this with Apple Mail?

Not just with Mail unless you can write AppleScripts and Automator actions, but if you have Pages, Microsoft Office or another such solution you can do mail merge with those. Another product mentioned in other threads is this one:

I have no experience with it myself. You'll find other options if you search MacUpdate.com for "mail merge".

Gmail no longer working with Apple Mail?

In the lasts 24 hours, without making changes to hardware or software, Mail has quit retrieving mail from my gmail accounts.
While I never receive any sort of warning about passwords or other issue, I simply get this:
And the "activity" window just stays that way... for hours with no result. The Connection Doctor window:
The Church Email account is an old one that is no longer active... I just haven't removed it from my list. But the "verify username and password" message is consistent... Strangely enough, down the same window - the SMTP connection works just fine. I can sent mail from all of my gmail accounts using Mail... Considering that the user name/password is the same for both sending and receiving mail.. SOMETHING is funky with Apple Mail.
Anybody have a guess what to check? This is frustrating.

Did you change any setting in Mail? Did you change your gmail account password? Did you activate 2-step verification on your gmail account?
If you haven't done anything from above, maybe problem is with your network... Did you try to turn off your router for few minutes and then turn ON again?
Did you install any 3rd party security apps on your Mac? Did you enable system firewall? Do you use any proxy servers? Do you use VPN?
There might be more questions...

Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP

Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP? Having a problem syncing to our mail server: doesn't sync properly when multiple devices use same mail acct. Spoken w/ mail hosting provider who says Apple Mail doesn't follow IMAP protocol properly leaving Apple Mail users to experience a variety of problems when connecting to IMAP accounts. Among them:
- Improper syncing
- Proliferation of drafts during composition of an email.
- Connections on the mail host do not close automatically and proliferate over time until the host rejects further connection requests.
Hosting provider goes on to suggest turning off IDLE command. In my experience turning this feature off did not improve the situation. In fact, it created a few.
Question: Is the hosting provider correct in faulting Apple Mail?
Been fielding the question with a number of people. I'm aware of three people who are experiencing similar problems, each using different mail hosts. Tech reps at inmotionhosting.com and nexcess.com point the finger at a Apple Mail, along with an IT specialist in Los Angeles, CA, and a tech support rep at an Apple Store in Arizona who said that Apple and Google mail are aware of and coordinating to resolve the problem.
Anyone out there have any insights into this?
