Non-automatic send in Apple Mail?

My wife has switched! That's the good news. Now we're trying to get her into the Mac groove. On her PC in Outlook there was a switch that allowed her messages to not be sent but put into an outbox where she could later send from there. Is there an option in to do this in Mail? I guess we could take accounts offline, but is there another switch somewhere?

There is a collection of apple scripts that are related to mail actions called "Mail Scripts." One of them queues mail for later delivery. I personally haven't used it but I've never heard anything bad about them, I've only heard good things.

  • Why will images will not automatically load in apple mail despite having the setting turned on correctly

    I have had this ongoing problem. I cannot get images to automatically load in mail. Instead I always have to click the load images button. I click on a message, click load images, the images load. I click on another message, then back to the message with the images and have to reload them.
    In preferneces I have turned the View>Load remote HTML images on and off and on again, and rebotted multiple times. It makes no difference. The images do not load.
    I checked Little Snitch, but all ports are open.
    My firewall is set to let everything connect to mail. Even just turning off the firewall does not solve the problem.
    I tried removing com.apple.mail.plist but that did not work either.
    This problem occurs in Mail on a MacBook Pro and on a MacBook Air both using the newest version of OS Mountain Lion. The problem happened in OS Lion as well.
    The senders are in my contacts, so that doesn't help either.
    This is not an issue with the serve sending the images. The images load if I click load images. They just will not automatically laod.
    I've read tons of posts but no one seems to know how to solve the problem.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?

    I am not sure how to link these discussions, so below I am pasting the post that helped me. And here is the link:

    This is not a problem specific to Lion, but most recent OS X versions. Regularly I receive email formatted as HTML, which includes JPEG images embedded within them. These images are technically attachments, and as such, Mail.app displays them as a placeholder. Other mail apps will display these images inline, regardless of them being an attachment, remote image or otherwise.
    How can I make these images load automatically?

    This solved my question by louse101  on Jul 26, 2011 3:47 AM 
    No-one replied, but I found a solution on another board. Run Terminal (do a Spotlight search if you don't know where to find this), and type:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
    This will force Mail not to disable inline attachment viewing. Obviously, to reverse this, simple replace 'false' at the end with 'true'.

  • ICloud mail server - Unable To Send With Apple Mail client

    OS X 10.10.2
    Mail v 8.2
    iCloud mail
    I am still able to receive messages but suddenly unable to send. Messages stay stuck in Outbox.
    Mail Connection Doctor reports no problems:
    If I setup MS Outlook for Mac 2011 with this iCloud account, I am able to send and receive like a champ.
    Once it starts working, is there a way to change the outgoing mail server to use SSL, i.e., turn SSL to "ON" ?

    Yes, I did. It doesn't show up in the logs because, I'm unable to send a message - it goes to the outbox immediately. And this led me to the conclusion below.
    And by the way, I did get in touch with Apple Support who went through a number of troubleshooting scripts (including trying to use GMail's mail servers) and ultimately had me reinstall OS X from scratch. None of this worked.
    Now this problem of being unable to send mail via my iCloud account, from the Apple Mail client, started only around the end of Feb. What I finally figured was that iCloud mail was using random ports on my machine to invoke its SMTP port. Everytime I would disable the firewall on my router completely, iCloud mail was able to send just fine. Recall that incoming was (and still is) working fine. Anyway, I installed wireshark to ID the ports that were being used when the firewall was down. I set up triggers on my router to open these up, turned on the firewall, but it just isn't working. I will have to play around with wireshark and see if I can figure out what ports need to be opened. Unless you or someone else knows. If I figure it out, I will post it here. Mind you, that I need to figure out not only the source ports that need to access port 587 but also what the real target port is (because I don't think it is just 587 as Apple claims).
    By the by, when I asked the Apple Technician (some guy who I was transferred to after 3 other people - the one who asked me to reinstall Yosemite) if there was a way to change the outgoing mail server to use SSL, i.e., turn SSL to "ON", he said no there wasn't and why would one need to secure the traffic to Apple's SMTP server anyway? Seriously?

  • Unable to send with Apple Mail

    I have two accounts set up on my Apple Mail, one is a Microsoft Exchange Server account and the other is a gmail account. Both have worked fine, sending and receiving since I set them up months ago. As of two days ago, neither will send, though both receive. Both will send through their respective web sites, mail.university.edu and mail.google.com. When I attempt to send a message, mail takes a while trying to send, and then I receive the message: Cannot Send Message Using Server (fill in either gmail or exchange server). Also, I haven't changed any settings in my mail preferences. I'm out of ideas, so any help or ideas is appreciated.

  • Can't send in Apple Mail with .Mac - authentication problem

    I use Entourage on my laptop for my business account and Apple Mail on my laptop for my .mac account. Sometimes when I travel and am using hotel and Tmobile wireless hotspots, I have to turn off password authentication for my SMTP server in order to send mail. This works like a champ in Entourage, but when I try to turn off password authentication in Mail for my .Mac account, it automatically still tries to authenticate! This results in me not being able to send .Mac mail. I tested this in Entorage on my .Mac account, turned off authentication for smtp.mac.com and it works, so this is definitely an Apple Mail problem specific to .Mac. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? I have tried to create a new smtp.mac.com account in Apple mail that does not authenticate, but somehow it changes into an smtp account with password authentication. Help.

    I've been sending ".doc" files from both Mail and Entourage for some time without a problem.
    Having said that, is there a chance that your Internet Service Provider is somehow blocking some file types?
    I've recently come across a cpouple of European internet providers who do block executables and key file types that are known to cause problems or that might contain viruses/trojans.

  • Why are my sent items not stored when sending from Apple Mail?

    Hello Apple Support Communities,
    I am Using an iMac at my place of employment. It is running OSX Yosemite v10.10.2 . I am also using Apple Mail to connect to our Exchange 2010 Server. I do the same with my iPhone, iPad, and Windows Laptop using Outlook 2013. For a while now, several months in fact, It turns out that any emails sent from my iMac using Apple mail will not store a copy of it in my sent items on the server. They are not stored in the iMac account, the iPhone, the iPad, or Outlook on my Windows Laptop. However, any email sent from the other devices will have a copy stored in the sent items folder and it will propagate to all of my devices.
    Upon investigating, I found myself looking through the tracking logs of my Exchange Server and found that Apple Mail and the iPhone send messages completely differently. I think this might be the source of my problem, but I have no clue whether I can fix it, or even where to start. Here is an image depicting the logs. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you for your time!

    Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
    Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
    1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings. The messages will still be on the server.
    2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
    3. Reindex messages.
    4. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
    5. If you've created subfolders of any Exchange mailbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. For best results, a mailbox should have no subfolders.
    6. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
    7. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

  • Receiving, But Not Sending from Apple Mail

    I recently created my own domain (from GoDaddy), and added the email address that goes with it to Apple Mail. As far as I can tell, I followed all the instructions given on the GoDaddy site for using this program, and my incoming and outgoing servers seem to have been entered correctly. However, I cannot send mail using the new email address. It receives it, but doesn't send it. Can anyone help?

    I am having exact same problem with domain from google.
    What is most odd is that I have Mail set up on 3 devices - an iMac, an iPhone and a MacBook. I have the exact same information filled in setting up the email accounts on all 3 devices, and it works just fine from two of them, but not from my MacBook. It receives fine, but when I send it just keeps trying to send for several hours until it finally tells me it could not connect to Server. yet when I do a Connection doctor & it tells me it is connecting to thre Server, and the Message Drop down menu tells me it is Online, but the "Outgoing Mail Server" in the account setup says it is offline.
    BUT ALL 3 DEVICES ARE SET UP EXACTLY THE SAME!!! How can that possibly be!?!

  • Intermittently can't send from Apple Mail on my Gmail account

    Since buying my new MacBook Pro and migrating from Entourage, Apple Mail is proving very temperamental. I can receive mail OK, but sometimes, at random, outgoing emails just sit in the Outbox. On opening the Activity window, all I can see is Sending Message; 'connecting to server 'smtp.gmail.com' just endlessly scrubbing away. And yet sometimes, mail goes out fine. Never had this problem with Entourage. Any ideas how to rectify this problem?

    It is more likely to be due to something related to the ISP at your home venue. Do you have an email account set up that they would provide and sending with the SMTP they provide?
    Another thing to check is whether you are always connected to your own router, and not that of a neighbor sometimes? Can you connect your MacBook via cable to see if it works reliably in that mode? The randomness of the behavior is important, I think.

  • Why can't I automatically forward from Apple Mail to Gmail?

    Why can I no longer automatically forward mail from Mac Mail to Gmail account automatically. This worked fine till a few days ago but no longer. I hadn't changed any settings.  have asked about this in Gmail forum but no useful answers, I have now changed various setting but makes no difference. Most of the Gmail help is oriented to Mail 4.0, I have 3.6, so that doesn't help (can I upgrade, I have OS10.5.8), I uploaded MailUpdate but it would it wouldn't let me install).
    Maybe there is a way via Mail Forward but that seems for forwarding _from_ webmail _to_ Apple Mail.
    All help gratefully received.
    Thank you,

    I suppose Gmail is forwarding to Apple Mail but not v versa, hardly anything at all is landing in Gmail.
    My Apple Mail is a POP account, but IMAP -enabled in Gmail if that makes sense, Gmail help says that's what you should do to forward from POP to Gmail.
    I want to forward them to Gmail so I can read my POP mail on my PC at work, as I said this worked beautiflly since I started in Feb till last week, then stopped for no apparent reason... As alternative I use mail2web which is just about okay but very slow, no outbox, no spam or other filtering, keeps timing out.
    Yes something is doubling up but not sure what...
    In my Apple Mail I have two accounts, both POP, one my regular apple mail account, the other my Gmail account, but settings are different according to Gmail help but not sure if they  are right any more..
    thanks again

  • Automatically sending copy of mail ?

    Hi all - new here so please be patient!
    Is it possible in Mail to get it to automatically cc or bcc every outgoing mail to a particular address?
    I'd like this so mails sent while I'm mobile get copied to my office account.
    I had a look but can't see how to do it.
    Thanks

    yes, it's possible but not documented.
    quit Mail and run the following terminal command
    defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Bcc" = "[email protected]";}'
    put the address you want in the above. start Mail and all new messages you sent will auto bcc to that address. Warning: this will affect all outgoing messages on all email accounts. to get rid of this quit Mail and run
    defaults delete com.apple.mail UserHeaders

  • How do I disable automatic hyperlinking in Apple Mail, Mavericks?

    I typed the text of an email address with 'at' instead of @ and the remainder of the email address. I expected it to appear as all text but part of it came out as a link (I did not set it as a link) which linked to my website which I did not want. I just wanted the text to appear and I have tried several ways to disable this automatic feature without success. One suggestion was to disable smart links via the edit menu but this did not prevent the auto link thing happening. Help please.

    I see what you mean. You can send an email with a web address that is not a link in your Mail body, and it arrives as though you had made the link active before sending. My original response should have suppressed this behavior, and appears to do so before the Mail is sent. I find no Mail Preference, or menu setting that can prevent this automatic link activation behavior after pressing the send button.

  • My apple mail 4.5 is not displaying my gmail but it will send from Apple mail. What can I do to get it to receive and display

    I can't get my gmail to display on my Macbook Pro Mail 4.5. It appears to be synching and it shows on the top that there are messages but they do not display. It will allow me to send emails but it does not display received emails. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Trying to send using Apple mail program after installing Mavericks; Keep getting box "iCloud Cannot connect to account iCloud". Entering password restores mail but why should  I have to do this?

    Trying to send mail via Apple's email program (not iCloud off web page)  after Mavericks show pane "iCloud cannot connect to account iCloud". Entering p/w restores mail but why should this be happening?

    While I am no fan of Best Buy and would not buy a lightbulb from them I doubt you issues have anything to do with your iMac and more to do with your lack of experience and simply getting bad advice. Judging by you post I suspect you have loaded your computer down with a lot of crapware and that  has caused it's problems. For example running antivirus apps on a Mac not only is a waste of time, it's a waste of money, system resources and will eventually create more problems that it solves. Please begin educating yourself on the subject by reading Thomas Reeds articles on the subject, Thomas is a frequent and knowledgeable contributor to these forums. You can find his webpage at http://www.reedcorner.net/tech-guides/
    The good news is here are absolutely no, zero, zippo viruses for OS X. There are other types of malware available (for example trojans) however they differ greatly from viruses in that the use has to download and install them, whereas viruses do not work that way. OS X is not like MS Windows and is extremely secure.
    My suggestion at this point would be to clean your computer of the crapware (including antivirus apps) however before doing so please download and install EtreCheck and post its report. Then we can see how your computer has been configured and begin to give you some advice on the next steps.

  • When sending email Apple Mail is sending from both accounts instead of only the one I send it from

    I have 2 mail accounts, one for me and one for my wife. When I now send mail it is being sent from both accounts instead of just the one it was sent from. How do I stop this and why is it happening? Nothing new has occurred and all updatees are current.

    Both accounts are Gmail accounts too. FYI

  • Automatically sending e-mails

    I need help writing a script that will automatically send an e-mail when production quanitiy is below expectations.  Right now I have a script for sending an e-mail but its not automated.  It brings up the actually e-mail it's self and the user has to manually hit send.  I do not want them to have the option of not sending the e-mail.  Is there any way to do this??
    Please help!

    Then use this as the folder-level script:
    myMailMsg = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(vTo, vSubject, vMsg){
        app.beginPriv();
        app.mailMsg({ bUI: false, cTo: vTo, cSubject: vSubject, cMsg: vMsg });
        app.endPriv();
    myTrustedMailMsg = app.trustedFunction(function(vTo, vSubject, vMsg) {
        app.beginPriv();
        myMailMsg(vTo, vSubject, vMsg);
        app.endPriv();
    And then you can call it like this:
    myTrustedMailMsg("[email protected]", "Subject Line", "Hi there!")
