Need a desktop email client specifically for WRITING email.

I prefer to read my email through my web browser at gmail.com and don't want to deal with managing duplicate mail with my desktop client. However, when writing email in a web browser, adding files and images is a real pain. I need drag-drop functionality to speed up my work flow. Can I configure Thunderbird (preferably) or Apple Mail to write email using my gmail account, but not clutter the inbox with any mail at all?

Hi
Looking at your wishes I'm wondering if you have considered an IMAP account?
With IMAP the emails on your computer are synchronised with those that are on the server. Each email has metadata recording things like "read" or "unread" status and this metadata is kept sync'd between the computer and server.
Also, of course the location of the email in your mailbox/folder system is kept sync'd as well.
So, all in all, that which is on the server is the same as that which is on your computer.
I have used IMAP for some time and I would not return to using a POP account personally.
I think it would be good for you to try out an IMAP account for it is easier to see how it works that it is to describe. In practice it is very simple and intuitive.
.Mac includes a very slick IMAP account indeed, another you might be interested in is FastMail. .Mac does a free trial period so it might be easiest for you to look at that. If the other things with .Mac don't interest you then I can recommend FastMail which does cost a bit of money annually but it is very well worth it.

I have created a new (alias) email address specifically for general emails (shopping, etc). I was expecting it to pop up in Mail, Inbox next to my existing .mac account. It's not there so where do I find it?

Aliases are merely another address within the same account, you won't see additional groups of settings for them. You should however see them as an option in the pull down "From" menu when you create an email.

Email notification works for one email address fails for another

Hi,
I have OEM 10.2.0.3 - one email address works fine, but another fails with message
[email protected]: Test failed with message: "E-mail Address is invalid: Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay"
Now the weired thing is, that using the same SMTP gateway, I can send emails ok to this address via outlook etc.
Anyone any ideas ? The xxxxxxxxxx in the address is actually a mobile number, but, as I say, it IS valid.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply, however, this is what I dont understand.
The SMTP server is the same one I use for our email, ie, it is our exchange server, and from outlook, I am able to send email
to the same address that is failing with EM. I'm not aware I need any authentication, or how it would need authentication only
for external accounts ?
you are correct howver, that it is an external account, and the same test fails for any external account. I'm just not sure how to fix this ?
A manual session connecting to the SMTP server is as follows
telnet smtp_server_name.com.au 25
Trying 192.168.6.2...

Need help picking Mac Book specifications for FCP

Okay. . .dumb beginners question here:
Which MacBook and how should it be configured would you order to run latest version of FCP?
I'm ready to order one and to order FCP.
TIA
Pending Pending

agreed. a MacBook Pro is what you will need if you wish to take full advantage of all the software in the FCS1 bundle, even more so for FCS2.
My preference is for the 17". Although obviously larger and heavier, it has the screen real estate that you need for the Pro apps.
Internal hard disc, bigger but slower or smaller and faster? I'd go for the bigger but slower (unless you can get one of those new 200GB 7200rpm toshiba drives which is best of both worlds). Why wouldn't I go for the 7200 Rpm ? Well first, my internal is not my media drive. Even so, I've never actually had a problem with the slower laptop drives for capture or playback at a pinch, but I may have just been lucky in that regard. So, for me, given that discs have a habit of filling up with crap, and given it is not my primary media drive, then bigger is better.
RAM? As much as you can afford. 3GB is the current limit for the MBP's.
As we all know, OSes and app's have a RAM hungry nature which seems to know no bounds. As things progress, 3GB will not seem like so much.
External media drive? Yes of course, highly recommended. If you don’t have one then your internal disc will be eaten up by clip media in no time (especially if you opted for the smaller faster internal disc... And, as noted above, if you get an external drive for your media then the speed of your internal drive is les of an issue). There are a number of options for external HD. There is one primary questions that you need to answer. Do you envisage needing to edit in the field without any access to a power supply ?
If the answer is “yes”, then you need to buy a “bus-powered” solution ie one that can be powered just by plugging it into the laptop. This limits you to using a laptop hard disc in an external Firewire enclosure. As mentioned before, laptop drives have a smaller capacity than their desktop cousins (and they’re more expensive). The best bus-powered solution is either G-Technology’s “G-RAID Mini” or Lacie’s “Little Big Disk”. Both contain 2x160GB hard discs in a hardware RAID, and connect via Firewire 800. This makes them very fast, and gives them a larger capacity (320GB). They are very reliable but also very expensive. Single disc solutions are of course much cheaper. You can buy these from the big brand names too (Lacie’s “Rugged” line are supposed to be hard wearing), or you need not go with a ‘brand name’ drive at all. You can buy the discs and Firewire based drive enclosures separately in most computer malls, and then put them together yourself. These would not be RAID solutions of course, so not as fast and not the same capacity ... But much cheaper.
If “bus-powered” is not necessary then your other choices expand significantly. Currently the best (and fastest) option would be an SATA RAID. This requires using an ExpressCard/34 eSATA adapter in the laptop to provide the eSATA interface for the RAID. SATA drives/interface are very much faster than Firewire. You could add a single drive or an entire eSATA RAID. If SATA is overkill for your needs then you can choose a external firewire drive. My drive of choice for this is G-Technology’s “G-RAID” which has a large capacity, and is fast and very reliable. Again, its not cheap.
Don’t buy a USB harddrive. They cannot maintain a fast enough sustained data rate such as is needed for working with video.

French USB keyboard for writing email??

I was wondering how i could get a usb french (or french-canadian) keyboard for my macbook. I often write emails to people in france, but i hate using the keyboard.
I tried to go to the canadian us store to buy the keyboard, but then when i tried to order it, it said it could only be shipped anywhere within canada.
Is there any way i can get a french keyboard in the us??

Canadian-French, Canadian-English. Yeah
If u live in canada i think apple gives u a choice.
France-French and Canadian-French have keys like AZ and QW in different places. You might want to make sure you get the one you are used to.
I just need all the accent keys.
Of course you can make all the accents on the standard US layout as well, via Option/alt key shortcuts (e.g. é is made by Option/Alt + e, then e). Or you can install a US International layout.

My service provider says I need a patch to update SSL for my email

My mac mail will no longer download mail from the server. My provider says that they upgraded the SSL and that there should be a patch released by Apple to make Mail compatible with the new SSL. Is there such a patch and where can I get it.
Thanks

Email payment advice for multiple emails

Hi There,
I have configured the BTE 00002040, every thing works perfectly to send the payment advice to a single email id from vendor master but out client wants a copy of the payment advice also to sent to their group email id, so with the help of our abaper we are trying to hard code the group email id and try to send the email to both vendor email id and group email id but is it nor working.
Can any body tell me how to send the payment advice to multiple emails?
Thank you in advance
Madhu

Thank you Hugo,
We tried this but for some reason it is not working, i know some body else also suggested the same on SDN but no luck.
It works fine for one emaild from vendor master but not when we put the group email id in the program as a hard code.
pl let me know, if you have any other thoughts.
Thanks
Madhu

Sent emails are missing from Thunderbird following migration from alternative email client and import of emails

All sent emails are missing from the Thunderbird 'Sent' folder following import, but Sent folder still shows a count of the imported emails (Thunderbird considered them to be unread when importing them, hence the count). The messages are also visible online (BT Internet email) and on other devices (Android running BlueMail). Settings are set to place copies of sent items into Sent folder. Having imported all my old email, I can send email but again they do not appear in the Sent folder (but do appear online and on other devices). I have tried compacting the Sent folder and i have tried repairing the folder. All other folders (Inbox, other newly created folders) show the email i have imported.
If I move an email online from the Sent folder to another test folder, it syncs and appears in Thunderbird in that test folder. If I then use Thunderbird to move the email back from that test folder to the Sent folder then Thunderbird will do so, but locks up for a good minute or so while doing that.
Running TB 24.6.0 on Windows 8.1, incoming server set to IMAP on mail.btinternet.com (port 993), outgoing server set to SMTP on mail.btinternet.com (port 465).
Help gratefully received!

Cheers for that, Mulder.
It did seem to recover some emails which had disappeared from Mail, but not all of them. That's the frustrating thing - short of going through my Yahoo webmail accounts and logging every single email, and then cross-referencing with what's on my desktop, I just can't be sure what's there and what's not!
Sometimes it's immediately clear that something is awry - the folder I use for emails from my girlfriend is completely empty, for instance, when I definitely had things in there before the weekend. (Yes, again I went away for the weekend, with the computer still running - and Mail on - and again I returned to discover emails missing.
Arrgh!

Can the default email client on iPad download email with attachments?

I have configured Apple iPad with Exchange 2007. Emails get downloaded without any issues. However the attachments sent along with the emails get downloaded only when you click on them. This can hamper Offline Work. Lets say in airport, we download all emails and then put the iPad in flight mode. When we click on any attachment which has been sent with the email, the attachment shall not open since it has not been downloaded.
Can we configure the Mail Client on iPad to download attachments always? If not, is there any third party app which allows for downloading of email with complete attachments?

It's actually default setting in EAS that seems to be causing this for our end users (Maximum Attachment Size: 500KB - anything larger than this, you have to click download full). You can customize these default settings for individual users or groups of users on the server side.

Email client does not send email (gmail account)

I configured the email account correctly and can see inbox emails. The problem occurs when sending out emails. It keeps trying without giving any error so I have to kill the app to use the client again.
I have a double secured gmail account but I created a unique signin password for this client

Hi Gabriele Vidali,
I used the double-secured feature on my Gmail account and then created a unique password for the Mail app in my Firefox OS device with Flame v2.0.
I was able to send and receive emails from my double-secure Gmail account with no problems. I didn't receive any errors when sending the email, and the automatic sync worked correctly.
Where did you download version 2.1 from?
I would suggest rolling back your Flame device to at least version 2.0. The version that you are currently using is still very unstable, and it's still actively being worked on, so it's not uncommon that features and apps will break.
Version 2.1 is scheduled to be Feature Complete on October 13th, and then there will still be stabilization and optimization work done on it. Mozilla's code on version 2.1 of Firefox OS is scheduled to be Code Complete on November 21, 2014 - so there's still a lot of work to be done on that version. =)
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you are still having issues sending and syncing your emails on more stable versions of Firefox OS.
Thanks,
- Ralph

Email Client - POP3 Counting Incoming Email

I have no email stored on the N900. At the end of every day I delete everything from the inbox. I noticed something yesterday when I went to delete messages... An option that says "Show More" with numbers. I attached a print screen of it. I have no idea what that is.
When I am inside the inbox and hit "Folder Details" it says there are over 300 emails... but there are no emails. I appears to be "counting" my incoming email. How do I delete this ongoing count as there is nothing in my inbox because I delete mail each night. I have attached a print screen of this as well...
This only happens with POP3 accounts - all my POP3 accounts. The IMAP accounts are not doing this...
Hoping somebody knows how to "clear" this information...
Thanks,
Sandy

when you set up your pop3 email, in the advanced tab befreo you "finish" you will see
Account title:
"leave messages on the server" (by checking this, you can delete the messages on your devcie and thought they will not be re-downloaded to your device, will still show up as what is available on the server)
if you click more, my guess (becuase i use all imap email for syncage) is thatt it will redownload what you ahve already deleted off your device, but still leave the original email on your server.

I am not receiving all of my emails in thundebird for multiple email accounts.

I have been using Thunderbird fo rover a year with no issues. All of the sudden, I am unable to receive all of my emails. I can see the missing emails on my phone or ipad, but not on my computer on the Thunderbird account. it appears to be displaying only a select few emails. How do I rectify this?

Have you changed anything recently, e.g. new phone and iPad?
What's the account type on those devices?

How can i choose which email client safari uses to email web pages?

Right now it tries to use gmail (google chrome symbol). When i click on the arrow, next to the address bar, the google chrome symbol appears next to the option email this page. If selected, it then opens google chrome on the gmail sign in website.

Nevermind I found out that my email reader was changed to google chrome, within my mail preferences.

Need a desktop email client specifically for WRITING email.
