Once in the Mail app and have opened and email, what do the icons mean?

I am able to open an email on my iPod touch but I do not know what the 5 icons at the bottom of the screen do. I know one is to reply, and one is to create a new message but that's it. Can anybody help me? Especially about the middle icon which looks like a box with an arrow on top.

Hello GenevaMorley,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Perhaps you should take a look at the Chapter on Mail from your iPod's *User Guide*. It should be able to answer questions such as these.

You don't need iDVD unless you are going to make DVDs. If you are just trying to share files, iDVD won't help you at all.
What you want to do is in iMovie, choose File/Share/File, and export that way. It creates an .mp4 file that should be readable on Macs or Windows.
You could also File/Share/YouTube if you don't mind posting them to YouTube, because of course YouTube videos are watchable by any Mac or Windows computer made in the last 10 years.

I tried this, but no luck. I went to Previous System>Users. There is nothing inside the "Users" folder, so I hit a dead end.
I can find my new e-mails -- those that came in since I re-installed the system -- in my NEW system (which I did to see if I was correctly understanding the advice), by going to Users>Home>Library>Mail>POP account name>Inbox.
Let me add a new question: I am running PhotoShop C3. It opens OK, and I can use it, but when it opens I get this message: "One or more files for Adobe Application Support folder are missing. Please re-run the PhotoShop installer."
I don't like re-installing working programs if I can avoid it, because it always seems to lead to other issues. Any idea what files are missing, and where it/they might be in the Previous System folder?
thanks

I have two personal e-mail accounts and a general account that I have synced to my Mail app, but I keep getting emails sent to the non-personal e-mail because they're on the same server. How can I change that?

I have two personal e-mail accounts and a general account that I have synced to my Mail app, but I keep getting emails sent to the non-personal e-mail because they're on the same server. How can I change that?

The only ways I know of for email to get sent to an account are:
1. It was addressed to that account. Someone used that email address to send you the email.
2. It was forwarded to that account by the account to which it had been addressed. I am not aware of Mail having this feature but it is often a feature provided by your ISP that you can turn on by logging into your account via the Internet and setting it up. I assume you have not done this, though.
With several email addresses in the same Mail client, you have to be careful which one you are sending from. If you send from the wrong address, any replies will come back to that same address. I make this mistake all too often.

I have a MacBook Pro and I opened an email, clicked on the link and then realized it may have not been sent by the person it appeared to have come from, what can I do to ensure there are no problems?

Delete the cookie and cache of any website you visited that you are uncertain about. That's in your browser preferences. What Mac operating system and browser are we talking about?
Did you attempt to download any software from the website, or just visit the link on the e-mail? Or did you attempt to open an attachment on the e-mail?

I just downloaded Lion. I noticed on the mail app that there is no down arrow on the righthand slider? The slider bar is way too sensitive.

Hi Anne,
Sad but true, no more scroll arrows anywhere... why? Because if you can't use something easily on an iPhone it's gone from iOS7

HT3226 my mail will just not open, when i try to open it it just gets stuck with the mail home page half open and when i click on the icon at the bottom it says app not responding, is there anything i can do myself or is this a trip to the Apple store?

My mail app will not open at all, it just gets stuck half open and then when i go to the icon below it says the app is not responding, is this something i can fix myself?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

E-mails that I have opened and read on my Samsung Galaxy S5 are still showing as unread in Thunderbird on my computer.

I'm guessing that the mail application on my phone and Thunderbird on my computer are not syncing. I also run into the problem of e-mails that I compose and send on my phone not showing up in my sent mail folder on Thunderbird.
Thanks for any help!

Are both using IMAP?

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

I forgot my security answers and I have no rescue email, What is the solution?

I forgot my security answers and I have no rescue email, I am trying to purchase as usuall but this time seems different, app store is asking me to answer the questions and I have no idea about the answers. WHAT TO DO? as I mentioned I have no rescue mail.

Contact applecare support at 800-275-2273, ask for someone in account security - to reset security questions. After the advisor verifies your identity, they can reset your security questions.
Have a great day.

Just updated to IOS 6.1.3 and my mail app now crashes....what is the fix?

Seems to have sorted itself after an hour....odd

Hi Mroxj,
If you tap the status bar at the top of the iPhone, you will be taken to the top of the web page in Safari.
See the photo on page 55 of the iPhone User Guide below:

Hope this helps!

After upgrading to Mountain Lion the mail app will not quit and then freezes only a force quit will work. How do i quit it normaly?

Mail will not quit normaly only force quit works. Any help?

Under the Mailbox drop down it is the last option. Just select a mailbox first before going to the Mailbox menu.

Accidentally created an On My Mac mailbox Now the mail dialogue box is open and frozen, with a soft pinging sound when I try to close...Can't restart computer until I close Mail, but can't close Mail.

This is my first day with my Mac and my hunch is there's a simple fix for this.

Try force closing and rebooting.

HT4943 I bought a magazine subscription and cannot open it. What's the problem?

Has any one had this problem, I am a new iPad user.

Alternatively, it might be a problem with the magazine itself if you bought it through Newsstand.
If you did buy it this way, go to the magazine in newsstand and press the Download button to make sure that it is downloaded. If you see three little dots in the top right hand corner when you go to the magazine in newsstand, press them. This will give you links where you can contact support from the magazine.
If none of this makes sense, or none of this works, then do please report ack with more information on how you bought your magazine and more details of the problem.

My mouse/trackpad are completely out of control. The cursor/arrow is flying all over the screen and closing/opening windows. What is the solution to this? Downloading windows for Mac?

So far I'm dissapointed with Mac O/S .....so many areas lack common sense, require unnessary extra clicks and is not as customizable as Windows. It's like Apple thinks you are a child and not entitled to choose for yourself so that they can control your info for you.
The mouse/trackpad problem is a major issue that Apple should be proactive in offering a solution for. If anyone has a solution to this I'd be greateful to hear it.
Thanks,

Is this the first time you're using a Mac?
If so the learning curve is somewhat steep - but, if you put in the time and use this knowledge base whenever you run into issues you'll be up to speed soon enough.
With regards to the trackpad/mouse, you can adjust the sensitivity by:
1. Click the Apple Logo on the top left hard corner of your screen
2. Click System Preferences
3. Click Trackpad
Adjust the tracking speed to your specifications.
Also familiarise yourself with the gestures (activate the ones you can remember)
To go back to the menue by clicking Show All
4. Click Mouse
Adjust your mouse settings to your specification.
And why use mac?
It just works...
(most of the time ;p)
