New .Mac Mail preferences

In the new .Mac mail preferences, the two-pane view uses the same window to view the message list, view a message, or compose a new message.
Can I do this with Mail (2.1) on my mac, or is it just a .Mac feature?

No. This is a feature of the webmail. There's really no direct connection between the capabilities of Mail and what you might be able to do using a browser with a webmail service.

Can't change font/column size in new .Mac Mail & 3-Pane option is a Pain!

My new .mac mail doesn't seem to allow changes in column width or in font size so it ends up cutting off the bottoms of some letters and cuts off all the entries in the 'From', 'Subject' and 'Date' columns. Also, it seems that because of this stubborn formatting, the "Action" button is not on the same line as the other buttons such as "Delete" or "Reply" etc. The "Action" button is on the next line and partially covers up the word "From" and the address of the first email in the column. Preferences doesn't seem to have anything for changing sizes or column widths.
Also, when I use the "3 Panes" option from the preferences in .mac mail I'm supposed to be able to compose a new email in the bottom pane but when I click on "New" to write a new email, it opens up a completely different window to compose the new email.
So can anyone help me with these two issues? I would really appreciate it. I liked the old email the way it was but I guess that's no longer an option. Thanks,
Steve

Unable to edit email accounts mac mail preferences

I make changes - like deleting an account and adding a new one - in Mac Mail preferences, but I don't get the pop up asking if I want to save the changes. So after I turn off Mail and turn it back on, the changes have disappeared. Any way to fix this so I can get rid of my old account and add my new one?
Thanks!

I went to the local Apple store earlier this week and asked on of the folks at the Genius Bar if he knew how to set the outgoing mail address. He showed me that I could enable the "reply to" field and then put my mail forwarding address into that field. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to pre-populate that field so that it always has my mail forwarding account address.

New Mac Mail but not yet in dock

Hi, I wonder if you can help?
I have logged into the new new .Mac Mail and have found it on the whole, a great improvement. I know this must sound a silly question but how I can I get the new version of .Mac Mail in my dock so I can access it quickly? When I click on the 'old' Mac Mail icon (stamp with an eagle on it), it just reverts to the old, 'unimproved' version of .Mac Mail.
Look forward to your replies. Thanks

You seem to be confusing Mail (the email client application) with .Mac, a suite of services including an email account that can be accessed either with Mail or with a browser (web mail). Mail has not changed. The web mail interface of .Mac has, so to access it, you must use a browser like Safari.
If you want rapid access to the web mail portal from the dock, you can put a web internet location file there that "points" to the portal: once the web page is visible in your browser, drag the icon just to the left of the web address in the browser toolbar (it will start with http) onto the dock, in the area near the trash & any other document files you have there. They will move aside & allow you to drop the icon into the dock.
To access .Mac web mail quickly, just click on this icon. Your browser will launch & take you to the same page.

My new Mac Mail is losing the ability to send emails periodically. It's running on 10.6.7 /new iMac. What's happening?

My new Mac Mail is losing the ability to send emails periodically. It's running on 10.6.7 /new iMac. I can reset the account by going into Prefs, then first deleting the account and then adding a new SMTP account back. Then sending emails works for a while, until the next time. What's happening?

Ah! Unfortunately, I'm on a company computer and can't just try these things myself. If that's the issue, I can ask our admins and they'll do it, but I want to make sure I've exhausted anything that could be a small fix.
Is that a shot in the dark, or are you thinking there's a reason a clean install is the solution? Thanks for the help.

I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
it's = it is
Mac Mail's fault = possessive
any help with the actual issue? thanks!

I cannot use new mac mail

I am on 10.4.8 but cannot use the new mac mail. It say I need 10.3.9?
But when I try to load this it will not accept it.

It say I need 10.3.9?
What says this?
Are you referring to the Mail.app under Tiger or the
new .Mac account webmail interface?
If the Mail application, you cannot use Panther's
Mail.app with Tiger just as you cannot use Tiger's
Mail.app with Panther, etc.
More detailed information is required regarding
"cannot use the new Mac Mail".
I have mac 10.4.8 but sfari 1.2.4?
The new mail needs Safari 1.3 but not sure if I missed the update or if I need to reload?
Can I load the mac disc and then just do the combined update?

New Mac, Mail Troubles

Just bought a new Mac and set up the mail application with my Gmail account. The only problem is, it's attempting to download every single email I've ever received. Needless to say I do NOT want this. How to I do so?
Also, I should note that I also have an older Mac which I sync with using MobileME. I have already specified that I wanted Mail accounts to sync.

Obviously your Gmail account is being accessed as IMAP, and in the Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced you have likely selected to keep copies of all messages and their attachments for Offline Viewing? Thus, since with IMAP the Inbox and Sent reside on the server (and thus contain all the messages) this setting will cause Mail to download them all the keep the copies. Set this up to not keep copies, and only the list of the messages will be downloaded.
Also you can choose to not subscribe to the All Mail folder on the Gmail server. If not familiar with how to do this, do a Google search with Gmail and Advanced IMAP Controls. To enable this particular exclusion, sign on to your Gmail account, click on Settings, then on Labs, and enable advanced IMAP control. Once that is done, you can then click on Labels tab in Settings and make some selections about excluding certain folders.
The MobileMe sync feature applies only to account setup info, addressbooks, and not messages. With IMAP accounts it is their nature to sync to each computer that accesses them, while with POP, the sync feature will not sync the messages themselves.

Autofill not working on new mac mail

I have an old Imac G5. When i receive mail, send mail, when i go to type a new email, reply to, or forward to an email, all i have to do is type in the first letter of the email address of the persons first name and i will get a list of options to choose from. On my new macbook, all of my emails have transfered over BUT the autofill does NOT WORK UNLESS i send an email to that person. It is as if i need to "redo" all of the contacts for this computer to recognize them. This is very frustrating and time consuming. Any ideas???? PLEASE HELP!!! ALSO, i have noticed that if i create a draft on this computer(macbook) or send an email from here, my G5 wont have that information stored on its folder. I guess ultimately i dont feel like my computers and internet mac email accounts are as synched as they could or should be.
Cheers!
J

Mail gets its autofill data from two places: Address Book and its own previous recipients list. If you've got entries in Address Book and they're not showing up, I don't know what to tell you. For the previous recipients list (visible in Window -> Previous Recipients), the easiest way to build that list back up is to just send e-mails to people.
As for drafts and sent e-mails, in order for those to show up on both computers, they need to be stored on the server and you need to be accessing your mail using IMAP rather than POP. If you're already using an IMAP account, go to Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts, click on the Mailbox Behaviors tab and check the boxes for storing mail on the server for any mailbox whose contents should be shared. If the checkbox is off, those messages are stored in a local mailbox on the machine you're using at the time.

Embedding a hyperlink in a New Mac Mail message

I know about Edit -> Add Hyperlink. But I'm astonished that dragging a favicon from a browser into the text area of a new message just drags the "dead" text --- furthermore, under certain circumstances, if you select the dead text, then Edit Hyperlink, an old, stale, inappropriate URL may be still be in the Edit Hyperlink box.
This is a recipe for creating misleading/phishing links.
Am I missing something? Is there an easier way to get a live URL into a Mac Mail message?
Thanks .. cb

Gentoo, that does the trick nicely! A simple double click of the folder name does indeed bring up the text box for editing.
A big thank you for pointing that out, and i am sure there will be others wondering the same thing, so hopefully they will see your answer.
Sorry for delay in answering, i had not subscribed to the thread thinking that there was no way of doing it, so another thanks for sending me the pm letting me know you had answered.
Cheers,
Steve.

New Mac Mail Sound

All of a sudden mail program is now throwing a sound out upon send/receive even when there is no new mail. Within the preference pain I have it set to only play a sound upon new mail arriving. Now, a sound is played after every attempt to get mail.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Open Mail / Preferences and select the General tab.
Where you see: New messages sound you will see the pop up menu. Directly under that uncheck:
Play sounds for other mail actions.

Installing New Mac Mail Stationery Templates

I'm trying to install a custom stationery template into my Mac Mail which I believe should be placed here.
Library > Application Support > Mail > Stationery > Apple > Contents > Resources > Custom > Contents > Resources
However, there's no "Mail" folder within my "Application Support".
If you have any suggestions, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks, in advance.

Back to the original problem:
I'm trying to install a custom stationery template into my Mac Mail
Who from, and did they provide an installer?
The reason I ask is that I recently downloaded and installed a set of stationery templates for Mail from
http://www.jumsoft.com/stationery/
They work perfectly. The installer put them at the location I mentioned, but I have no idea whether the installer created that subfolder where I found them.
Worth checking.

Mail won't bring in new .mac mail

The application Mail won't bring in new mail but it shows up on .mac webmail. Any suggestions?

Have you confirmed if the account is online?
At the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Online Status. Is "Take (the name of your .Mac account) Online available?
Do you perform manual checks for new mail on occasion? The reason I ask, is your .Mac account included to be automatically checked for new mail?
Since you are accessing your .Mac account as a .Mac account which is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way, have you tried using the Rebuild Mailbox function on the account's Inbox mailbox which forces the mailbox to be resynchronized with the server?

Synchonising iMail desktop folders with new .mac mail

I have many folders in my desktop imail application and want to upload these to the new web application.
Any ideas??

Create custom mailboxes on the server either on the web or in Mail by choosing the .Mac account instead of “On My Mac” from the Location popup menu when creating the mailbox, and move your messages there.
