Obsessive emailing- how can i block OUTGOING mail ??

aside from getting therapy, a lobotomy, or this person beaming up to another dimension, how can i stop myself (via MAIL) from emailing them?? i mean, RULES doesn't have a way to block your own outgoing mail.
i know i sound insane and it's a matter of self control but i would love to PROHIBIT my MAIL from sending outgoing to one recipient...

amy --
BDAqua is offering really good advice.
As always.
Another thing you might try is
write the email
print it out
delete the email
put the copy in a box.
Everytime you are temped to respond
do the same thing.
You'll let some steam out -- feelings . . .
And the copy will give you validation.
Just never, never actually send it.
It's worked for me for a long time.
Most times when I'm tempted to really let someone have it,
or I know I'm out of control,
I write the letter, print it out, and press the delete key.
It also helps to put your favorite music on afterward.
Hang in there, Amy.

  • How can i block outgoing mails to  particular domain

    I have just set a mac mini with snow leopard server . Configured mail in it . I want to block the outgoing mails to some particular domain or all domains other than my server domain .
    please help

    Hi Fritz:
    Your English is FAR better than my Deutsch (Ich bin ein Wisconsonite).  I can barely ask for the train to Zermatt (one of my favorite places on Earth).
    Anyway, I think I understand your question.  If you mean is there a way to stop the recipient of an E-mail from actually getting it (after you sent it), the answer is no (in Apple's Mail application).  Entourage (a Microsoft application) is a good program.  As I recall (I used Outlook years ago in my corporate world) the Microsoft mail applications have a feature to "un-send" E-mail).  However, I think that only worked if the mail was sent to someone on the same network.  You could not retrieve mail from someone outside your own network.

  • How can i get outgoing mail to display the "from" email address

    I have an ipad model A1474  running iOS 8.0.2.
    When I send email, I can't figure out how to get the "from" field appear in outgoing messages.
    Any ideas?

    according to the online help, I'm supposed to click on Title to get to the titles settings as follows
    "Adjust a title’s settings
    You can modify a title’s default settings in the Title inspector.
    Select a title in the Timeline.
    Choose Window > Show Inspector (or press Command-4), and click the Title button at the top of the pane that appears.
    Adjust the available settings as needed.
    Note:  You can also keyframe many of the settings in both the Title and Text inspectors."
    Gsoing to the Text inspector, there does not seem to be anything in the menu where I can change the color of the text.   Based on the photo that appears with the above instructions --it appears the ability to change ink color is under the Published Parameters that is the menu I cannot get to 'drop'

  • How can I get outgoing mail in Mail program to work consistently?

    Some times using Mail messages can be sent immediately on any of my several accounts including a gmail account. Other times no mail can be sent perhaps until the next day. It just read sending. If I transfer my outgoing gmail messages to gmail on safari I can send it immediately. I am changing no settings and incoming mail is coming in without difficulty. This is most frustrating if I am trying to response to a message and I can't get it out until the next day. Any suggestions? Thank you

    I have had sbcglobal dsl and now Uverse and periodically have had the problem of outgoing mail being rejected by the smtp server. The problem has been changes made at the server by the isp. I make no changes and things go from working to not working. Over the last 6 years I have gotten pretty good and "fixing" the problem by deleting accounts and reentering the data in the Mail program and at the AT&T website. A process they call verification is involved. Now it is broken and it is unfixable.
    I have spent the better part of the last 3 days trying to get a third party or vanity email address to verify. The panels say I have successfully verified my address but it will not send. Along the way I have read a lot of stuff on various forums and am thinking that the issue may be the same between at&t and other big providers... they shut down 3rd party address on smtp in their war on spam.
    So we called att support and were told we would have to pay for premium support. We asked instead to cancel our service. We signed up with a local dsl service (Houston) and discovered to our dismay that DSL does not equal DSL. The local service has never been able to swap over a Uverse dsl service. So we were back to Uverse to have Uverse dsl canceled and regular at&t dsl installed.... it is like dealing with two different companies. Along the way we discover that at our location we will lose the 6 Mbps service and only be able to get 1.5 Mbps... our modem will have to be changed out and at this point we are sad and weakened. The Uverse rep offers to lower the premium support charge from $30 to $15 so we gave in and signed up for it. The next day I get the very polite and seemingly competent Paulo on the line. We get set up for him to take over the cursor and we start reviewing my settings. Bottomline. I had all my settings perfect... practice, practice etc. They were absolutely correct on every panel. Paulo got to see that the verification does not work and that it is not possible to set up a "reply to" third party address that will work. Paulo was very nice and very baffled. He invited me to call back but he really had no idea about what to do to get things working.
    By this time I am feeling pretty defeated and trapped... I cannot reasonably move to another provider and no one at AT&T can make it work. There is a happy ending for me in this though and this could work for someone else which is why I am making this long post. My vanity email is from an email forwarding service where I have had an account for 12 years. My isps change as my job has moved me overseas and back and across the US several times... my email address does not change. The company I use is pobox.com I was looking around at their website and noticed that my service includes use of their smtp server. I printed off the instructions, which they have for about 20 mail clients, pc, mac, et al and within 10 minutes I was sending mail from [email protected]. I got no error messages and when the mail arrived it showed from [email protected] and when we replied to that email it put [email protected] in the to:. Man am I happy! This fix did not cost me incremental $ and it was easy. The service costs $20 per year for a single year subscription... I have a 5 yr which runs me $15 per year. There are other benefits to the service... decent spam filtering and url forwarding.
    If you are having a problem with a vanity address not working through your isp smtp server and you can stomach $20 per year, go on over to pobox.com and tell them Pam sent you.
    ps the other thing that I got to work was sending mail out from my mobileme account using their smtp server. Mobileme will not allow me to use my vanity address but I am happier having .mac in my return address than att or sbcglobal.

    In Entourage, i used before, there was a Folder for outgoing mails, where i was able to manage them. In <Mail> i find no possibility to stop or to change an outgoing message.

  • How can i block email in mail

    how can i block email in Mail? just marking it junk only makes it show up in the future as junk

    One thought, your ISP likely has a very good and highly configurable Spam filter. If you go through their webmail interface you might find a huge number of options that may do as you require. This aasumes you use your ISPs mail service.
    If not try the webmail interface for the Mail provider you use.

    You say you have the pse 5 disk?
    I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
    Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
    Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
    You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.

  • How can I block senders (email addresses) on my iPad?

    How can I block email addresses so they go to the trash bin automatically in my iPad? 

    You can't do that on the Mail App on the iPad but you can probably do this on your email server.
    Check the web interface to your email service on a computer to see how to setup Spam Filters.

  • How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address?

    How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address?  I am in the middle of a relationship ending and I want to RESTRICT myself from being able to send outgoing email to a certain email address. Please advise. I have no will power and I don't want to be engaged in back and forth email drama.  Thanks.

    Might sound kind of silly, but you could go into Contacts, the person in question, edit, and where it says Add Field, put somthing in like STOP, or DO NOT DO THIS
    At least that would get your attention, even if it doesn't block you from emailing.
    There just isn't much you can do to block yourself.  If you have a couple close friends, do something like an AA support group...call a friend and have them talk you out of emailing.
    I'm not trying to be smart alecky about this, actually trying to help, but there isn't much to offer.

    How can I block all other mail account just to only use the exchange mailbox of our company? This is to prevent the user to setup his on company iPhone.

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

    How can I block a spam mail sender when that spamer uses a different e-mail address everytime!  I have set up a rule with the spamers name (which does not change) and setting the rule to "is equal to" but it is not working.

    Verizon can't fix it and yahoo can't change your Samsung application function.
    Just use the free Yahoo app.
    i Have a yahoo and Gmail and use separate apps for this reason.
