Minimize the Mail Application at start up

Dear Experts
I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1; Configured Mail application and it works perfectly good. Notification center is also working fine.
I have configured it such that, Mail application starts up automatically once I am logged on.
I would like to have Mail application by default minimized at the start up. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi, Kasee.
Rather than minimize the application, why don't you try  using it in another Space.  It won't have to be minimized, and you can call it up almost instantly with a swipe across your trackpad or a keystroke.
Take a look at this from Apple...
OS X Mt. Lion - Work in multiple Spaces
I think spaces is really undervalued in OS X.   I use it all the time.
I hope this is hellpful.
EDIT - Of course, Spaces is really slick if you're using a trackpad.

  • TS3276 How do you stop the mail application that freezes during typing of new email?

    When I open up the mail application and start a new email, the application will freeze as I type.  Nothing will appear on the screen as I type, then all the sudden, the application will "catch up."  This is NOT an intermitent problem; it happens each time I try to send a new email.

    From the menu bar, select
    Edit ▹ Substitutions
    and uncheck Text Replacement.

  • TS1506 I have a problem opening some email attachments. They will not open in the mail application on an IPad Air

    I recently upgraded from an iPad 1 to an Air. One of its main uses is to avoid printing volumes of papers for meetings, so the abilty to open attachments with mail is pretty important.
    There are some attachments that will not open in the mail application on an iPad Air. Some in the same format do (docx). They do open in Mail on my MacBook, and iPad1, or if I go to webmail on any device including a Blackberry, so it is not a file corruption problem.  The problem persists on different networks. Other emails from the same sender do work. It seems to be specifically related to IOS 7 or the Mail app. Quickview won't work, nor will opening with a range of Apps which report a file error.
    There was an historical problem with Apple garbling pdf files, but this is a new one on me.
    All this is a shame because it is opening emails in attachments that was one of my main reasons for buying an Air.
    Does anyone know of the cause? A solution?

    What about a work-around?
    Ios 7.1 etc. has a problem with communicating with exchange.  There are lots of reports of problems with pdf files.
    The work-arounds mentioned here may be of assistnace.

  • The mail application on my I-Mac dates all mail, whether sent or received, as 5th (of whatever month it is). The computer clock is working, so it's not that. And the time seems to be right. I have no problem with my MacBook. Can anyone help, please?

    The mail application on my I-Mac dates all emails, in or out, as 5th (of whatever month it is). It seems to get the time right.
    The computer clock is fine. I have no problem with my MacBook - just with the I-Mac. Any ideas, please?

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • OCS 10.1.2 on Win2003 - mail application cannot start after rebooting serve

    Hi
    We have installed OCS 10.1.2 on Win2003 (single box) and the mail appln was running OK after the installation. On rebooting the server, we found some components that were not started (eg Internet directory for Infra) which we started manually via EM.
    The Mail application however cannot be started giving the error message for all the mail components:
    - failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
    We tried to start it manually using
    - oesctl startup midtierhost:um_system:xxx
    and even got the message:
    - All processes already started for midtierhost:um_system:xxx
    However, in EM, or when doing a
    - oesctl show status midtierhost:um_system:xxx, we get the error message:
    - midtierhost:um_system:nntp_in:116107583446856959 <no response>
    Any idea of where we can check to see what's going wrong? I'm not sure of where to check the logs for possible errors.
    Thanks for your assistance

    Glad I could be of help - maybe you could help me out too, please? I have the following problem: when I create an appointment with Calendar, and add some participants to it (with email notifications option checked), at first everything seems to go the right way.
    But if I delete the appointment/meeting, the following happens:
    - the notifications regarding the delete of the meeting are not sent
    - the whole mail system seems to hang, and I am not able to send emails anymore
    Do you have the same behaviour on your installation? It would be useful to me just to know if other people are having this trouble....
    Thank you!

  • The Mail application on my iMac is making the entire computer act up.

    I tried printing off my itinerary for my flight I'm taking tomorrow. The email was sent from WestJet directly to my email within the Mail application. When I tried to print the email itself, my computer started acting weird and froze, so I shut off the computer, and rebooted it (so I thought). When I turned it back on, none of the processes had stopped, and it just started back up to where it was before. My computer was no longer being recognized as my own for some reason. I originally got the computer used from a family member, and it was recognizing the computer as his, as if it had just rebooted from a previous date when he had owned the computer itself. It showed his name in all of the applications, and when I tried opening Microsoft Word to print it from there, it acted as if I had never run the application before (The previous owner never had the application installed). The default printer was not mine, although the drivers for my printer were still downloaded, and the printer was being recognized. The printer was the previous owner's. I just tried printing another document with just plain text, and it printed fine. No errors, (after I made the default printer back to mine) and nothing went wrong whatsoever. No lag time between when I clicked on print, and the actual printing of the document.
    Just wanting to see if anyone has encountered this problem before I have. IT just seems weird that it would "act" as if it had booted from a previous date.
    Thanks,
    Brad.

    Hey Leonard1207,
    You may want to try removing your mail account from the Mail application, then re-adding it:

  • How can I set up hotmail in the mail application

    Hi
    How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
    Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

  • Mail unexpectedly quits when I try to open the Mail Application 4.5 and system is 10.6.8

    Mail unexpectedly quits when I try to open the Mail Application 4.5.
    Any ideas how to resolve this?
    I have tried the suggestions already given on Lists, and nothing has yet worked...

    10.6.8 is not Mountain Lion.
    How big is your hard drive, and how full is it?
    Did you happen to download any system cache cleaners?  Those can damage its ability to function.
    Have you tried repairing permissions?
    Is your data backed up?
    Is Spotlight indexed?
    Is the Mail trying to load an IMAP, POP or Exchange account?
    I've requested this thread be moved, no need to repost.

    Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem.  As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS.  I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock.  Thanks again for trying.

  • What is it with the application "mail" and the Yahoo mail servers that is in conflict all the time. We have reconfigured the settings and done everything possible and the "mail" application is still conflicted.... Running Lion 10.7.4

    I know it is a pretty long question and am unsure if it can be answered, but have had just a lot of trouble with the Yahoo mail servers... Where could a man go and get the mail application, I can not find it in the app store. It is my thought maybe to just replace the app I have with another mail application and reconfigure everything and go from there. But I do not know where the mail application can be found.

    See this blog posting for Yahoo mail set-up details for the Apple Mail.app tool.

  • I can't find the mail application

    Hi, I just bought a second-hand macbook air (model 2009, os x leopard) and I can't find the mail application. Maybe the previous owner deleted it or something? If so, how can I get it back? (sorry for bad English)

    This is a photo of what i see. It's completely different! The text on the DVD says: Applications Install DVD. it must be it
    This is not correct.
    I have never seen an Applications Install DVD.
    I said to use the OS install DVD. It should be in:

  • Can't open the mail application since updating to 10.6.6

    Hi,
    Since I updated to 10.6.6 I can no longer open my mail application. I get a message stating that "You have version 4.3 (1081/1082) of mail. It can not be used with the Mac OS X Version 10.6.6."
    When I was updating my mail was not in the application folder but within a separate folder in the app folder, so it may not have been updated.
    Now my question is how do I solve this, I can't work properly without the mail application!
    Thank you!
    Svanton

    Hi Svanton,
    One suggestion would be to take the Mail App out of the folder you put it in and then download and install the 10 6 6 Combo Update…
    Available Here...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    I would also recommend doing a Permissions Repair both Before and After running the Update…
    Hope this Helps,
    Cheers
