Need mail.app

Hi, I threw away Mail because it makes me mad, but I did not set the preferences for the default mail client before I did.
Is there a way to tweak the com.apple.mail.plist to make Entourage the default mail app?
I have that set on my own account, but for the Guest account, Entourage will not open without having that preference set. I copied the plist file from my account to the guest account, but it still does not work.
If anyone can tell me how to tweak it to make it work that would be great... OR tell me where to find a copy of mail.app. I have searched the web, and even Limewire is not finding me one.
I do have it on my DVD, but I am in Arizona, and my DVDs are in Canada
thanks for any assistance

if you don not have your install DVd you can not get Mail. it's not available for download but you can get it off the install DVD. you can edit the launch services plist (not mail plist) or copy it from the main account as you did but it will not work with a guest account. guest account preferences are wiped every time you log out. it will work with regular accounts though. copy the file com.apple.launchservices.plist from your main account to the other account. then log out/in from that account and the default email client should be set to entourage there too.
I also suggest you get your install dvd. you may need it for various things. and don't delete any apple apps. if they make you mad don't use them.

[HELP] Nokia Mail App is not working!!!

There is no problem with inbox.
The problem is that I can't Sync sent items. There are 100+ mails in my sent items but they are not synchronizing with my mobile(I mean it is showing empty in my mobile).
Recently i have sent some mails through the mobile app and they were received at the other end too,but I can't see those sent mails when i login from PC or mobile browser. Only those mails which i have sent from mobile are shown in the app .
But the problem is whatever i sent from mobile app are not shown when i login from PC. Now I re-flashed my mobile to fix it,the problem still exits and I lost all those sent mails from my mobile and they even not synchronized to the server. Now i can't get back those mails which are sent from the mobile. I don't know where they are get saved?????
Do anyone face this problem??
Please someone help me, i need mail app very badly
Solved!

First Nokia Tech Support is clueless on this issue. Dec 14th, 2012 Google turned off SyncML for all new devices. So if you are using the mail for exchange, it won't work unless you had it working prior to Dec 14, 2012. How a major software update might affect that, your guess is as good as mine.
The Gmail inbox still seems to work. Just don't try to set it up as Mail for Exchange. So for Gmail only, that will work. But if you want to sync your claendar, I've only found one solution. GoogaSync. It is pricy at $22 but there is a demo version to try. But it will work with only one limitation that I have found as of this posting. You can not sync back to Google edits to multi event calendar entries. I fyou want to edit those, you will have to go to Google and edit them. But this software has a big bonus. You can sync multiple calendars.
Thanks... Only inbox is synchronizing .. I don't Know when they are gonna fix this..

Go to System prefs
Select Mail Contacts and Calendars
Then select Other
Then select "Add a Mail Account and click create
Then go to google for the settings you need:
First here for the settings online at gmail http://tinyurl.com/du3fu
Then here for the setting in mail http://tinyurl.com/38fevm8
These are instructions for Mail 4.0 but all of the necessary settings should be listed.

Reformatted, need to restore Mail.app from external USB drive

I just reformatted my Macbook, and I'd like to restore my Mail.app to its former glory without having to reinstall every single email account (I've got 7).
If I copy ~/Library/Mail on my backup into the same directory on my Macbook, will Mail.app just start working again? Or is it not that easy?
Thank you for your time!
Macbook (White 1.83ghz) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

After another couple rounds of Googling/Knowledge-Basing, I found this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301239#mail
I only needed to copy two sets of files: ~/Library/Mail and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist . I copied both of those from my backup to my Macbook, and my mail is right where it was last night.
Thanks...uhh...me. And Apple. And that sweet knowledge base search function. Gotta love that.

I need to save an online file to my ipad and then email it as an attachment from my school email? It is my college gmail account and I can't add it to my mail app.

You can use your gmail account within the native Mail app using IMAP
Make sure you've enabled IMAP in your main Gmail settings
Open the Settings app on your device
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account...
Tap Gmail
Enter your account information, being sure to use your full Gmail address, including '@gmail.com'
Tap Next

How to configure Mail app on mountain lion to not download all my emails in hotmail server. I need only just 1-2 weeks

How to configure Mail app on mountain lion to not download all my emails in hotmail server. I need only just 1-2 weeks

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

IPad mail app freezing, need help

I've experienced my Mail app freezing twice in last two weeks in the middle of writing a mesage. I can't save it as a draft nor can send it, can't move to another folder. But if I leave the Mail app and go to gmail app it works. Anyone knows what's happening?
Thank you in forward for your help!

Have you tried the simple basic things?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and restart.Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button.Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
It is possible that you have an email in your inbox or trash folder that is causing the problem as well. Maybe an email with large attachment? If you have an email like that - try deleting it from the iPad. You may need to do that from the server in your webmail using a web browser if the mail app keeps frezzing on you.

Leopard Mail App needs repair!

I'm told Apple is very aware of this problem. Program is configured correctly but won't send mail. Yesterday, SMTP server wouldn't recognize my e-mail address and today the SMTP address is not recognized (two different locations). RR tech rep at national desk states I'll have to wait until I get home and check to see if the app works properly in my home area.
I just took delivery last week of the new MBP Penryn and, regrettibly I didn't attempt to send any mail before I left home. Mail app receives mail fine. Apparently a number of people using Leopard are having similar problems.
Apple: We need a fix!
Joe

IF the server does not recognize port 25 then it is a server issue not a Mail issue. It certainly is not an Apple issue if you can't make a simple SMTP connection when millions of others can. Get with your tech support people for whatever ISP you are using and they will have to help you. Something is wrong in your settings somewhere.
Of course if you supplied more information like who the ISP is and how you have things configured it might be easier to help.

Need a spam killer for the Mail app

I am very disappointe hwo the Mail app handles spams so I would like to hear suggestions
on a Spam Killer app that you have good experience with
Junk It boast to tracks messages and keeps score of who offends you the most.
That seems to me a nice feature
Other features I would like:
-spam mails should bounce back to the spammer
-a log who are those spammers and to send complaint automatically the the internet provider
What other features are useful ?

I've found SpamSieve to be very effective in catching spam.
I would also like that the mails bounce back to the spammer
Please, never bounce spam. Most spam has forged 'From' addresses so all you are doing is sending yet more spam to totally innocent people (who are probably already getting a lot of bounces because of this) and making a bad situation worse. Even if the 'From' address is genuine, I very much doubt any spammer is going to remove your address from a huge list (they certainly would get a lot of bounces from actually dead addresses) - and in any case they can probably tell it's not a genuine bounce easily enough, so now you've just confirmed that your address works. Don't bounce it - just delete and forget.
I need a log who are those spammers and to send complaint automatically the the internet provider
This is the same thing - most spam has forged 'From' addresses using innocent parties' addresses so all you are doing is making things worse for them when they are probably already getting a lot of bounced spam.

TS3276 After my update to OSX 10.6.8 my mail app will not open anymore. What can I do? I need it for work!!!!

After my update to OSX 10.6.6 today I am not able to open my mail application anymore. I can't check my emails and I need to work on Monday! Who can help me please? I tried downloading the SecUpd2012-004.dmg and installed it with mail being in the applications folder. Still no luck! I also ran disk utility before...:(
I am not a happy camper tonight!

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

10.6.7, hardware failure but the hard drive is intact. I can access the hard drive via Linux. Need to get mail from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.

I need to know a couple of things, but y'all may not have all the answers I need.
First, I need to know how to retrieve the mail files from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004. I don't know if this is a valid asusmption, but in my experience with Windows, I know that Outlook keeps everything in a single monolithic .PST file. Is this the case with either Mail.app or with Entourage?
Second, I need to know how to access said mail files in a Linux mail app. The mail from Mail.app is more important than that from Entourage, so it has to take priority. Will I need some sort of converter program, or is there enough similarity between Mail.app and one of the Linux mail applications that I can simply import it? (BTW, I'm running Ubuntu Linux 11.04 on my Linux netbook. I wish there was some way I could get Snow Leopard on here.)
Any advice on any of this problem will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

Direct install MacBuntu (based upon Ubuntu 11.04)

I have it running on one of my single core netbooks.
WIth your other problem, just borrow a Mac temporariy, drag a enclosure to a Apple Store and use one of theirs, they don't mind as they have Deep Freeze installed on all their machines so changes don't stick upon rebooting.

Need to re-install mail app

mail.app got corrupt. I need to re-install the mail app from the OSX disk. I am running OSX 10.6.8 due to a software update. The disk that came with my system is 10.6.7 and when I try installing the mail.app it tells me that it is not allowed to run with this version of OSX? Is there a way around this without the need to wipe the entire system? Looking for someone who has success in re-installing the mail.app.
Thanks,
Brian

You don't need to reinstall Mail, unless you deleted it.
See possible fixes for the Security update problem here.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

Need Applescript to apply stationery in mail.app

Hi all,
I need help to make an applescript that will apply a selected stationery to a new message window that is already open in mail.app. Can anyone please assist? Thanks a ton!
Ultimately, I have a filemaker db that is going to have a button scripted to open a new message to a contact but I can't figure out how to then add the stationery to the message...

I know it sounds very similar, but if you want Gmail to function in Mail.app like it does in Gmail, where you archive most but not all of your mail, there are some unique settings.
Gmail's recommended settings for Mail.app:
(note: for the rest of this message, if Gmail is a link, that's because I can't figure out how to not make hard-brackets not evoke some kind of special message board code.)
Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check
* Do NOT save deleted messages on the server. Messages that are deleted from an IMAP folder (except for those in [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash) only have that label removed and still exist in All Mail. Hence, your client doesn't need to store an extra copy of a deleted message.
* Do NOT save deleted messages to your [Gmail]/Trash folder because this will delete a message in all folders.
* Do NOT save deleted messages to your [Gmail]/All Mail folder as some clients will try to empty this folder and ultimately fail. This can lead to delayed mail access or excessive battery consumption on a mobile device.
I can't try your script just now (at work), but I will try it once I get home. It looks like it should work in the most basic scenario.
If I wanted to filter the messages to go into the account specific Trash mailbox, is that a trivial process? Could I:
tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to (get selection)
set theAccount to (get account of theMessages)
move theMessages to mailbox "Trash" of "[Gmail]" of account "theAccount"
end tell
That's just my guess at what the Applescript might look like.
Thanks for all your help.

TS4083 Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

I've found out that this is by design.
Email Application offer push-notification, but read action is not populated to the Cloud.
So Mail app needed to be opened manually each time you want to refresh it status ...
That is not a good information...
As far as I remember, google had that work quite long ago properly (of course on iOS and inside Mail.app)

I need a multiple message voice mail app for Iphone 4S that also provides an auto-attendant, e.g the caller can dial 1 for one of business's or 2 for the other. Each of these options will need to have a different voice mail greeting. Help please?

There are no alternative voicemail apps - the core functionality of the phone can not be replaced.
You'll have to look for an external service, that can then forward calls for each caller onto the correct phone.
At our business we use Voipfone.co.uk which allows multiple phone lines to come into one VOIP account.
