On the subject of bespoke mail clients (with BTInt...

The clients I'm referring to are WindowsLiveMail and Outlook. We have a poor internet conenction (connectivity is pretty constant but speed varies between 1-3Mbps). We exchange quite alot of email (some with reasonable sized attachments).
The question I have is with WindowsLiveMail. Quite often we end up with mail sitting in the Outbox. Getting these to send involves one of:-
1. restart WLM
2. move items from Outbox to Drafts/Inbox whereever, and resend
I have checked that the server timeouts are at their maximum. So WLM is a free product. The question is will Outlook (paid for) perform more reliably?
EDIT: I have confirmed our SMTP settings as "port 465 and SSL with mail.btinternet.com"
EDIT2: Oh I see reports of issues with Outlook. Oh blimey, sounds like could be releated to BT mail migration.

Or there is Thunderbird, another free e-mail client which works very well.

Has anyone managed to create an email account on the OS X mail client with Exchange 2007?

Hi guys,
the IT chaps of my new employer tell me that it is impossible to use the OS X mail client with Exchange 2007 servers. Is that correct? If so, does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks

No workaround needed, open Mail, Contacts and Calendars (in System Preferences) select Exchange, enter your email address and password, opt to setup Contacts and Calendars as well as mail and hit enter. That should set it up (assuming your apparently witless IT dept has setup the autodiscover record correctly at their end)

Probably incredibly simple question, so sorry. I have just changed e-mail after many many years and I want to e-mail everyone in my mac mail client with the new e-mail address at the same time.

If you are using Address Book, open it, create a new Group, select all you contacts by click the top one while holding down the shift key and then select the last one. Drag the contacts to the group, then send an e-mail to the group.

Customize the subject of a mail

I want to change the subject of an alert functional email, but I cant find where can I do that.
Searching in the forum, I notice that I cant do this in BPM; instead I go to ALRTCATDEF TCode and surprise!!!! I found tecnical and functional alerts, but in the "long and short text" on the Message title I found something that doesnt appear in the subject mails.
Where can I found this? I just want to add 3 chars at the end of the subject and I cant understand how...

That is what I tried to do but the title doesnt match with the mail subject (the mail subject says "Process xxxx" where xxxx is a large number, and the message title says another thing)
Any other idea? Maybe this is not from XI, Im thinking that this is from the delivery system of outlook, but I'm not sure.

Scriptable mail client with good support for html and flash

Hi,
on one hand I'm looking for the uzbl/luakit/.. equivalent in the mail client world: I want a very high level of control over how mails are fetched, filtered, displayed, scripts, keybinds, etc etc.
On the other hand I also want the client to handle html mails properly, even when they include html5 sound/video clips and/or flash widgets/videos.
This might sound ironic, but I use rss2email to get all my newsfeeds delivered to my mailbox. I think this makes a lot of sense, a centralized repository for all the messages I want to get.
But those newsposts often contain html5 and flash widgets, which I want to be able to use from inside the mailclient.
Also I expect usage of the xdg basedir spec and sane use of files (a simple text config file, and maximum a few binary files for caches/indexes etc)
A good search system based on sup/notmuch/xapian would also be welcome.
I just can't find a mail client like this. Any suggestions? Maybe anything that's close, so I could hack it a bit myself?
Claws-mail is the least sucky client I could find, but still it doesn't give me the advanced scriptability, it makes a mess in my homedir and doesn't support html5/flash.

Thid may take you a bit away from your current setup, but if you have used sup you shouldn't be too scared ;D
Ive started using mutt a while back, and if properly configured it can do a _lot_ of things and very well at that too!
Anyway, to answer your post:
1) Mutt can be configured to retieve your rss feeds, so you dont need to use rss2email and still get a centralilsed repo for your email and rss and, you will be able to keep your email account uncluttered with rss mail (but thats personal preference).
2) Intrinsically, like all CLI mail clients, butt doesnt show html/html5 or embedded flash in email. /BUT/ you can configure it to use a differen program to handle this automatically.
So, you will be able to get say uzbl, or jumanji or surf (if you're into your lightweight browsers) to open those multimedia emails. Edit: it seems you will probably have to use links2, but you may be able to use other clients (they will have to open as a seperate application though, whilst links2 is able to stay embedded. Maybe this can be done with the other browsers but I haven't tried nor researched this.
Generally as: (in .muttrc)
# enriched messages
auto_view text/html # view html automatically
alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html # but save it for last
Credit for that snippet goes to something i found on dotfiles. If I ever find the author's name, I shall edit it in here.
You will also need to create a .mailcap file with the relevant data. A basic google search reveals some good tutorials for this.

I can't access folders in my e-mail client with FF4 or FF5

My e-mail client is eircom.net. Up to Firefox v4 I neevr had a problem using this service. The service also works fine in IE. However, with FF4 and, now, FF5 it is impossible to access folders within the e-mail database. This means that, if I have e-mails showing in the Spam folder or more than 20 previously unseen in my inbox I am unable to access them except by using IE. This is disappointing, to say the least!

Exchange 2010 all mail clients with internal cached and internal non-cached mode users having connection status issues, login prompt -- external is fine either way

Hello,
I'm seeing an issue that started this past Monday with no recent change to our environment.
External Outlook Anywhere users and Mobile users, OWA users are unaffected.
Internal Users are affected when using Outlook of any version, 2010 or 2013.
-Internal Users normally log into their workstation with their ad credentials, domain joined machines. Outlook opens without credentials prompting ideally.
1 . Using Cached Mode:
a. Login Prompts, slowness - Since Monday, users are getting prompted to login. The prompt goes away after logging in at startup. It is also causing high CPU
on the workstations.
b. Free/Busy, Out of Office doesn't work. I can, however complete auto-setup for a new user, so autodiscover is not completely down for internal users.
c. Checking Connection Status shows connecting status on highlighted entry below without ever establishing connection (just goes away).
The outlook icon in the system tray says "Outlook is requesting data from the server":
2. Using Non-cached mode
a. No Login Prompt at startup, business as usual
b. Free/Busy, Out of Office works fine. Autodiscover is fine.
c. Checking Connection Status shows normal except, it has "casarray URL, then status is referral" it seams to flicker this constantly then go away intermittently.
d. Main issue in non-cached mode is, sometimes a user will log into windows, open outlook and it will not open and says "server is unavailable. Retry, work offline, or cancel" I can try re-opening, same message.
Only after logging out of windows, logging back in, I can get back into outlook. This is not every time, or consistent with specific users, but random.
3. Lync Pop up for credentials often, though entering the password.
URLs are correct. Autodiscover, EWS, etc.
Already tried bypassing our loadmaster load balancer with host files on clients. same issue regardless of casarray node.
Not sure what is going on.

You have a hybrid configuration with Office 365, right? You didn't provide this valuable piece of information.
In Exchange Online PowerShell run this command:
Get-OrganizationConfig | FL PublicFoldersEnabled
If the value is "Remote" then users with Exchange Online mailboxes are looking to on-premises public folders. Be sure that you have legacy pubic folder interoperability properly configured.

Hooking up mail client with Gmail

I have a feeling that something is amiss in the way my machine is configured, but I've become frustrated because I can't find instructions to setup Apple Mail 1.3.11 (only Mail 3 is illustrated at the Google site). There are a lot of generalities given elsewhere, but nothing specific!
Would appreciate a little help here.

I appreciate your correction. However, I was going by the specs listed by Google in their eMail help page as to requirements for using POP or IMAP Mail clients. I don't doubt what you say, but just noting that is what I found. You probably have other information available to you as to Google's specs of which I am not aware. Note that in your first link in your initial post it specifies Apple Mail 2.0 and in Google's supported client's list Apple Mail is listed as required for POP and supported IMAP client list Apple Mail 2 and Apple Mail 3 are listed. If you are aware of other documentation please link them, if you don't mind.

What does the "To" in a rounded rectangle mean on the subject line of Mail?

Just wondering what the "To" in a rounded rectangle means on the subject line of iPad Mail. It's on nearly all my messages!! Really bugging me.
Cheers!

Cheers!! I turned that setting on thinking it displayed those fileds when typing a new message, rather than having to press details.

Mail client with account lists only?

Hi,
after searching for a while I turn to the forums.
Is there any iPhone app for mail that shows only the accounts and then the
included mailboxes? The way it was before iOS 4?
I hate the "Inboxes" section and I hate the VIP section. I don't need them,
I don't want them. It's consuming screen real estate for nothing.
What I want is just a list of my Accounts, then I decide which one to
open.
Also, another thing that drives me crazy is that the iPhone mail application
opens in the default account inbox.
I want to open the app in the main menu, where the accounts are listed.
Why do they force you to get into a view?
Any app
- without VIP
- without Inboxes view
- without forcing you into the default account inbox?
Thanks for what could finally be a relief.

Could I do more addresses? For example my daughter has a school email, a hotmail, an address from her ISP, etc.
Yes, as many as you like, but you may want to give your daughter her own loin account.
Once I get setup I assume my old emails, folders, etc. will be as they are. Can I upload all the old emails I have on my Mac to the Gmail?
If you wish, you can drag all your old eMails to boxes in your Mail account, I suggest making new folders in the gMail account for this.
Where do I find the setting info for the Gmail and how do I change the settings in Mac Mail?
Log into your webmail account at...
https://mail.google.com/
Look for setting at the top right of the page.
How do I tell Gmail to get the emails from the ISP's POP server?
You can't, that would be a setting on your POP account if available, to forward emails to your gmail addy.
What else do I have to think about before I make the move?
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
For Address Book...
Files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
Folders...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/

Third Party Mail Client with Applescript/Rules

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a solid third party email client for 10.9 that supports Gmail and can start applescripts when certain rules are met.
We've been using Apple Mail for the last few years with a dummy gmail account that triggers applescripts when emails with certain subjects come in. However since updating to 10.9, the rules aren't always starting, and because of the new way gmail folders/labels are handled, they are running multiple times. We're currently running 10.9.1.
Thanks!

Users Having Troubling Sending Email with Mac Mail Client with Godaddy

Hello,
I recently had issues' with my mail and my new Mac Pro and sending emails from www.godaddy.com. I tried 4 email clients and could retrieve my emails but the outgoing mail server keep rejecting my password. After I almost switch email companies I called one last person from godaddy. The support person James M suggested deleting the account in my email manager on godaddy system and re-created the account and everything works fine. Please note, to back up emails before doing this. I think something is corrupting something in the server that requires the deletion of the email account that is only effecting 10.64 users.
Best of luck,
M

Have GoDaddy reset the SMTP relays to 0 (zero), then back up to 250 (or whatever your limit is). This reset the password authentication and emails were sent fine afterwards. Good luck.

Any ideas for the following problem: when mailing links with firefox as the default, multiple files appear and I can't close them or successfully mail the link?

I may have picked up a virus. I use an iMacBook Air. When I attempt to send links via my default (Firefox) email program, Firefox immediately opens dozens of files that I'm not able to close (when I attempt to open or close these, they scroll horizontally and won't stop). I am unable to do anything except quit Firefox. The mail naturally never gets sent through Firefox; I'm not a particularly adept computer user, so I don't know what to do about this.

This link should help you resolve this - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows
You will probably have the mailto protocol set to "use Firefox", the above link show how to fix that.

This is regarding CBMA in SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.

This is regarding CBMA in single stack SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the alert mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.
So I need to set up PI to redirect mails to ECC Business workplace user inbox (sbwp). From here rules are set up & routed per distribution list.
Please guide me how I can achieve this requirement.

Hi,
yes, it is a little bit different. This is the issue.....
But I am not sure if your links will help:
1) /people/william.li/blog/2008/02/13/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-using-graphical-variable
is about a different solution. I do not need to count the number of lines of the source message.
And the second variable is about concat line by line from unbound node to unbound node.
My issue is:
Souce:
Message line (0...unbound) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
.    ResultLine   (1..1)
Mapping:
=>   ResultLine1
       ResultLine2
       ResultLine........          => into UDF to an element (1..1) in one mapping operation.
So that all "ResultLine"s are included.
The result is explained in the given link for Mail attachment with UDF.
So I am not sure how to use this thread for my issue.
In the comments of that blog Christoph Gerber writes that the new variable feature can only handle single values.
So it is not suitable for my purposes as I have a list of values here that needs to be moved into the target message field.
2) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Java/UsingEditJavaSectioninMessageMapping
shows where to find the button "Java section" which is not available here in 7.1
3) /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/10/01/xi-new-features-in-sp14
too is about the nice little button for Java Section that is no longer existing on PI 7.1 screen for mappings.
So my issue is: How to replace the Java section function with global variables in PI 7.1?
Best regards
Dirk

Can't connect to SquirrelMail with Mac OS X Mail client

I am working with an organization whose email is running on SquirrelMail. When I try to set it up as a new account in my Mac OS X Mail client, I choose IMAP, enter the email server name, password, etc. but once the account is created I keep getting the message, "Mail can't connec to the account... Enter the password." I have checked and double checked that the password is correct because I can log onto the account via the webmail portal. Any ideas on special configuration settings necessary for SquirrelMail on the Mac OS X Mail client?

Hello jsgrubb,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are trying to set up your email on your Mac but are receiving an alert. To ensure that the correct steps are being followed to set up the account, I would first recommend reading over the following attached article.
Mac Basics: Use Mail on your Mac - Apple Support
If you are still unable to set up the account, it may be necessary to contact the provider of the account to verify the correct Mail settings for the account.
Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe
