Password for mail app?

is there a way to password protect the mail app so no one can just click on mail and see what's in there? thanks, brent

No, there is not. You can require a password to wake from sleep and to login, using the settings in System Preferences > Security. Alternatively, if your email account allows web access (e.g. Gmail), do not set up the account in Mail, but only access through the browser and don't save passwords.

  • How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

    I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
    Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
    In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
    I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
    Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
    Thanks in advanced

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
    1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
    1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
    Any help would be appreciated

    My ipad2 won't accept my apple password for new app install. I've tried several time and get a pop up "unknown error". Help?

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

  • Recently changed my password for mail, can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password and saying it's incorrect. Totally confused. 

    I Recently changed the password for mail, on iMac. I can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password, then telling me it's incorrect. Totally confused. 

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

  • How to find add-ons for mail.app

    D'oh!  
    Am I missing something incredibly obvious about App Store?
    I want to find all add-ons -- worktogethers for mail.app.  How?
    Example:   I found a product called MessageFont which may have a similar function to the one I am seeking.  Its web page is marked "Available on App Store". Sure, I can find Messagefont on App Store, either by overall search, or alphabetical arrangement of Productivity Apps.    So, I guess that the app I'm seeking MIGHT also be in this category.  But there are currently 3065 other apps in that category.   Does the Search box at upper left apply to the currently visible selection?  Maybe, sort of.  But searching for "mail.app" or "mail" don't seem to do what I want.  Searching for "apple mail" returns only 7 hits, including my example, MessageFont, but the hits also include OS X Server, and b) It seems unlikely there are only 5 additional add-ons -- worktogethers for mail.app.
    Bonus question:  What I'm looking for is a utility that makes it easier to reply to formatted email messages in mail.app, by making visible --and prefereably, supporting removal of-- block structures.   It seems that block structures (e.g. blockquotes, perhaps others) interfere with opening vertical space into which  interspersed reply text can be entered.
    TIA

    To what are you referring when you ask about "add-ons to Premiere 13" (assumed you mean Adobe Premiere Element 13)? On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
    Premiere Elements has not come with a Content Disc or offered Content download from an Adobe web site since Premiere Elements 10.
    If "add-ons" to you mean Content download...DVD Templates, Movie Themes, Clip Art, etc....then most of that is going to come from downloading
    Content from within the opened project. There is a limited amount of content that comes complete as part of the installation.
    A description of this process is fully described

    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask. Please supply more information If I have not targeted your question.
    Thank you.

  • Sobriety check for Mail.app

    Hi everyone,
    I've been asked at work if it is possible to add this functionality to Mail.app, in a similar vein to what Gmail has recently added to their service.
    In a nutshell, what I need to create is an alert dialog that pops up when a user clicks the send button in Mail that allows them to confirm they want the message to be sent. It's not really a sobriety check (at least I hope not) but really a chance for an employee to avoid mistakes in their email message before it goes out.
    At this point I'd just like to know if it's feasible before I go down this route and if anyone has any advice for an AS noob looking to do this. Bonus points if you know whether it's possible to add a modifier to the Send button to bypass the script.
    Thanks much!

    Not directly - at least not via AppleScript.
    Mail.app supports AppleScripts for scanning incoming mail messages. There is no support for AppleScript on outgoing messages.
    It is possible to write Mail.app plugins, but they're not well documented (search for 'Mail.app plugin' for an idea) and requires an understanding of Objective-C.
    The last option I can think of is to not use Mail.app's automatic send/receive. Instead using a stay-open AppleScript to periodically get mail and check for messages in the outbox. If it finds any it posts the question then sends the message(s). The problem with this approach, though, is that it's far from foolproof (the user can send the message manually by enabling automatic mail sending).

  • PGP for Mail.app?

    Alright, I've been loooking for a while and I can't seem to find a good encryption solution for Mail.app
    Apple's Mail help file mentions something vague about how mail does support pgp if the enctyption is hidden in they keychain, but mentions no way of doing this. Is there some easy way of implementing pgp in mail that I'm missing? The best solution Google easily offers is GPGMail (http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/GPGMail.html), but that seems slightly sketchy and I'd like to do encryption the Apple Way™ (if there is a way, that is)
    Black MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.0 GHz 1g ram

    There's no reason not to use the GPGMail plugin for Mac OS X; it's been around for years and it works; nothing "sketchy" about it. You will also need to download and install the GNU Privacy Guard (a.k.a. MacGPG) to make it encrypt and decrypt messages.
    Or, you could get a free personal email certificate to sign and encrypt your mail, but it will expire after 1 year and then you'd have to get a new one. If that's the method you prefer, check this link for instructions. Go directly to the link where it says Thawte: Personal Email Certificates and start reading.

  • Password for deleting apps

    Is there a way to set up a password for deleting apps to prevent my baby from accidentally deleting apps?

    You can set up Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps 'off' which will stop them being deleted (and if you set up restrictions then remember the passcode for it as you won't be able to recover it from anywhere) - the apps can still be moved around the screens so their positions may change, but they can't be deleted.
