OS X asking for admin login for every email sent in Apple Mail
I am having an issue where I am getting the administrator prompt for every email I send through Apple Mail (Yosemite 10.10.2). Not to be confused with the email account specific password issues that are common... Here is the prompt:
I get this prompt with every email I attempt to send. I am assuming that this is a Keychain issue, but I ran Keychain First Aid which didn't find any issues and also Reset my Default Keychain and that hasn't cured the issue. The only other thing I am wondering is if it might have something to do with an old install of Server that was on this machine from Mavericks.
Any ideas?
Turns out this was related to a preference I hadn't seen before that was on after upgrading to Yosemite. Each email was set to send with a digital signature and as soon as I turned that off, the prompt went away.
Follow up question: was that the expected behavior for that setting? Should it have been prompting me for each email sent if I did indeed want to sign each email?

Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?
You know , I am an OCD . I alway's close my Mail app and miss many important new emails .What I do is open the Mail.app, then click the red traffic light (upper left corner of the main Mail.app window) to close that window. The app itself will remain running and you will get updates - this helps keep the desktop tidy while while the mail app remains running. When an update is received, simply click the either the mail icon in your dock or go to the Mail.app menu and click Window > Message Viewer.

Drafts in my trash for every email message I create?
Why do I have dozens of save drafts in my trash for every email message I create?
If is ridiculous! If I take ten minutes working on an email I have more than a dozens drafts in trash showing me the stages of the message being composed. My trash is cluttered with partial drafts. This is new behavior that started 11/11/13.Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this so I can use my new phone? The first step asks for my iCloud info but then asks for my friends after I agree to the terms.
The iPhone is new, has never been used. When asked if I want to set it up as a new phone, restore from an iTunes backup, or my iCloud backup I selected iCloud. It then askes for me to sign in with my Apple ID, I then agree to the terms, then it asks for me to sign into my friends Apple ID. She and I have used each other's computers in the past so I assume this is where her information is coming from. The problem is she no longer had that email or Apple ID and has no way of gaining access to it and therefor I am unable to proceed.
I suppose my question is, how can I remove her information from mine so I can setup my new phone using iCloud. Also, I have already checked my Apple ID online and nowhere on my account is her information listed. -
i just got a new ipad 2 and i can't buy stuff on it asks for security question when my apple id was right why
It's a security feature that was brought in a few months ago - when you try to purchase something for the first time on a new computer or device then you will be asked for the answers to your questions (or to set them up if you haven't yet created them).

hi, I bought a second hand iphone 4s and seller has blocked it and reset it know the iphone is asking for a email and password that the seller was using, I can't contact him know and i'm left with an Iphone that is useless, can you help ma please?
Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:

I have tried to change my password and get to the part where you need to verify by answering the questions, and I get can not get any further, as it tells me the answers aren't the ones they have but I know it is correct, so I have asked for an email to be sent, but no email comes.I receive other emails from iTunes but not the one helping me to change the password. Has any one got any idea why?
Contact iTunes customer support, no one in these user to user support forums can assist you.

I recently installed 10.6.2, everything was fine for a few days. Last night I logged on to check email and got a new pop up window asking for my email account password. Its never came up before with the old OS or with the new OS prior to this point. I entered my password but it was rejected. After an 1 1/2 hours on the phone with my internet/email service provider it was determined that my password was good and the system was ok on their end. Access to the internet is not affected so I think its something wrong with the new OS. Any ideas?
thanksMac 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:

Received a email from Apple stating that my Apple ID was used for a purchase not on my device. It had a link to cancel purchase but asked for my email and password which I gave then it wanted my credit card info! I didn't give that,what should I do? Do you think this is just a way to get my credit card information?
It sounds like a phishing email. You can't "cancel" purchases. You've now given them your AppleID and password, so you should immediately change your password to something new and very secure.
Also watch out for suspicicious activity on your account. -

My phone asks for my email passwords all the time, I never enter the password when it ask but I still send and receive emails fine no problems so why does it ask if everything works? Gmail and yahoo on multiple accounts I have 3 yahoo and 2 gmail and they all ask Dailey
Because your mail server keeps rejecting it.

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Cheers,

SOST Repeat Send does not ask for new fax number or e-mail address.
SOST Repeat Send does not ask for new fax number or e-mail address. It does work for one user but not for any others. It is supposed to ask you if you want to change the fax number or e-mail address if you were the user that sent the document. Does anyone know if there are settings that control this somewhere? Using SAP R/3 vers. 4.7
Dear Friends,
Normally, we can change the receipient address, if we send. We can not change the receipient address of another user.
Check Note 685164 - Resending with recipient change.
As per this note Go to SM30 and add parameter "SOST_REC_CHANGE" value "X" in view "SXPARAMS".
Now, if you click "repeat send" icon, it will ask below two option in dialog box:
The message is sent again. You can change the recipient before
sending. The sent message then appears as a
as a new send request in the list
Send to same recipients again
Change recipients before sending
It is working to me ....
Thanks & Regards,

How to set default email account in Apple Mail for Yosemite?
For some reason, after my upgrade to Yosemite my default accounts are no longer selected as default. I am now sending from an account I only receive email to, and have to change it with every single email I compose. Mavericks didn't do this.
Has anyone had a similar situation with multiple email accounts in Apple Mail? Any idea on how to force a default?If you go to Preferences > Composing there is a dropbox for "Send new messages from:"

"Not Read" receipt received from sender for all emails sent.
We recently migrated from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 and I've got one user that started having a strange problem after the migration. She has Outlook set to request a read receipt for all emails that she sends and that works fine except that
for every email she sends, she gets a "Not Read" receipt back and this not read receipt comes from her as if she sent the email to herself and didn't read it. She also get the not read receipt if she deletes emails that are in her sent box
and again, the not read receipt comes from her.
This user is using Outlook 2007 SP3 with all available updates installed. We've tried a new profile and we've also tried on a different computer with the same results. She doesn't have any rules set up except for the one for clearing categories
that I believe is a default rule. I've checked the settings of the rule and there is nothing there that would be causing this. The other strange thing is that these not read receipts seem to come in batches. If she sends one email the the
not read receipt doesn't show up or at least not immediately. If she sends 2 or 3 messages then she'll get all of the not read receipts for those 2 or 3 messages at the same time.Hi
Please check this thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2dbf0122-8d63-4375-91b4-6ba2cf52ed2e/not-read-receipt-to-senders
Tell the senders to stop sending messages with read receipts and it wont be a problem
And to To determine the problem, Please test the feature on local side to check whether the symptom occurs. Meanwhile, you can let the sender in remote domain send message to other domain to
check the result.
