Pine (mail program) question

If I install Pine on my PowerMac G3 Blue and White at home and then SSH in to that machine using my iBook, when I execute Pine on the PM G3 B&W, I will be able to see and read my email on the iBook screen. Is that so?
What I am getting at here is, since I'm in the Terminal, there is no need for X11 or VNC in order to present the output from the remote PM G3 B&W on to the iBook. Correct?
Also, since Pine reads the emails on the server, when I return home to the PM G3 B&W and run Apple Mail, it will still be able to pull down from the mail server the emails I already read. Correct? I want Pine to leave the emails on the server and not mark them as read or delete them.
One more question. How does Pine handle attachments such as Excel spreadsheets, .jpg's or movies? I doubt they can be viewed. I just want to be sure it won't strip them out and delete them from the mail server upon execution of Pine.

All of what you asked is true, except for one thing. With 10.4, Apple's Mail.app no longer uses the mbox format, so my cheezy workaround has been to have two copies of each email, one I can access with pine, and the other I can access with Mail.app. It used to be you could create symbolic links to Mail.app's mbox files, but not anymore.
You can configure pine to open attachments in your preferred programs. For remote display, you can use X-windows based display options. For local display, you can use whatever you want.
In practice I often find it is easier to have pine save the attachment to your desktop and then move the file via scp.
I read mail like this all the time. Pine is great. Another option you may with to consider is squirrelmail, which is browser based, but then you have to run a webserver, imap server, and so on.

  • How can I update my Mail program in 10.6.8 to iCloud Mail?

    I am running 10.6.8 on my iMac, which is my work "workhorse." I can't update it to Lion because I can't afford to update Quark/Photoshop et al that I'd need. And it works fine.
    I also have a Macbook Air running the latest Lion, as well as an iPod 5 running IOS7. Both access my iCloud mail address and folders/filtering set up on iCloud.
    However, the Mail program on my iMac is still showing my MobileMe mailbox (and MobileMe is in my system preferences). I had an elaborate filtering-to-folders set up in Mail for my MobileMe account (not in the online MobileMe). I've disabled all the filtering in my Mail program, but iCloud still sends some mail to the older folders I had set up in the program, overriding the new folder-filtering I have set up on iCloud.
    So, sometimes I'll get an email sent to my .me email address from a client which I cannot see on my Macbook Air (or iPod) because it's sent to a folder on my iMac. I'm semi-retired so don't do much work anymore so I'd rather not "fire up" the iMac unless I've work to do. But as it is with the Mail situation, I have to leave it on all the time or I can miss client email.
    My question is, can I get delete my "mobileme" account in my iMac Mail program and then add my iCloud account to it? I assume the MobileMe in the iMac's system preferences is there for good, because I can't update to Lion. Will that fix my problem, or is that even do-able?
    I'm not sure I've stated this clearly. I'm trying to get total coordination between my iMac, MB Air, and iPod mail accounts in the Mail programs of each device without having to resort to using iCloud mail online on my iMac. Perhaps that's unavoidable?
    Any help appreciated. If clarification needed, I'll try to explain this better... Thanks all!

    You can perfectly well access email in 10.6.8 - I'm doing it myself - and if you are receiving @me.com mail you are already doing so. the @icloud.com version of the address is exactly the same thing, and messages to it will arrive in the inbox alongside those to @me.com.
    However if you have set up Rules to act on incoming @me.com mail it obviously won't act on @icloud.com messages, so you will have to duplicate the Rules if you want to keep them.
    If you want to try starting over you can delete the account and set it up again, using the method described here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You can't access other iCloud facilities in Snow Leopard but if all you are interested in is the email you have no need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • Safari won't open web page on my domain with apple e-mail program open

    Mail Version 3.2
    Imac 2.4 ghz 3 gig ram
    Mac OS x 10.5.2 up to date
    After installing Safari 3.1, I have had an issue that I thought was going to drive me mad. If I have the mail program open, I cannot access any webpage on my domain. Lets say my domain was vvv.com. If I have the mail program open I cannot access www.vvv.com, no any subdomains on there. If I close the mail program and then just refresh the page in the browser, it works just fine. I have searched thru the forums, but cannot identify a solution. If anyone has an idea for me to try, I would appreciate any feedback and helpful hints. Yes, I know that I can just close the email program, but I am in the process of starting up a business website and having to remember to open my email program every so often is something I don't need.
    And by the way, the problem also affects firefox also.
    Thanks in advanced..

  • Specific domain blocked for both mail programs

    Hi all. Need some help... One specific domain name's email addresses has been blocked by my mac for outgoing email from both 'mail' and entourage programs. I don't get any error messages but the emails never get delivered. However emails from the domain name get delivered to me just fine.
    It is isolated to my mac as I can send/receive using a different computer on the same internet connection to the domain name addresses.
    I think it results from a moment last week when I accidentally clicked on 'junk' instead of delete for an email from the domain name thats causing the trouble. I immediately clicked 'this is not junk', and thought nothing more of it. it appears that somehow the computer will now not deliver email to the domain name address in question. Its like a very specific block, but effects both mail programs. Apple Support suggested posting to this disscussion board or an 'archive and install'. Hope someone can help. thanks.

    Open one of these messages in the Sent mailbox, and then click on View in the Menubar of the Mail window, place the cursor on Message, and choose Long Headers from the resulting menu. In the Long Headers, is there on named Message ID#? If so, then the message was sent from this Mac, as the ID# must be reported back from the SMTP.
    Are you using Rich Text Format, when composing and sending on this Mac? Do these messages have any attachments, or images such as might be in a Signature? If this is the situation, then the RTF may be getting converted to HTML, and a SPAM filter in front of the recipient may be blocking the receipt of messages from this Mac.
    Try resending one of these message, after first changing to Plain Text, as a test. Open the message in the Sent mailbox, click on Message in the Menubar, and choose Send Again. Next click on Format in the Menubar, and choose Make Plain Text, and send.
    Keep us posted.

  • How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

    How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
    Thanks.

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • My Mac Mail program no longer stores any files in my Sent folder.  When I try to send an e-mail it just spins.  What's up?

    My Mac Mail program no longer stores any files in my Sent folder.  Moreover, the sent folder (off to the left) contains a highlighted "1" as if something is in there.
    When I try to send an e-mail message, it simply spins.
    This is new behavior for my Laptop of three years.  Usually, I have lots of messages in my Sent folder and can easily send e-mail.
    I see no discussion forum for "Mail" or for "e-mail" so I raise this question here.
    I would appreciate any help anyone might offer. 
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your reply.  Turns out, re-started my Macbook later and the problem disappeared.  Could this have helped?

  • Mail program no longer opens

    I have two problems that simulatenously appeared on one of my co-worker's eMac. She complained that she could no longer open her mail program or safari. I was able to set up firefox on her computer and it works fine. Both mail and safari will appear to open; and if you go to force quit, I can see both application in there.
    So I have a couple of questions:
    1) Are these problems related - is it as easy as reinstalling the applications?
    2) How can I back up the emails that she has stored on her computer?
    Thanks

    Re-installing Apple applications rarely resolves such a problem or any problems.
    This is usually caused by a required font problem.
    Check Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch for troubleshooting steps.
    How can I back up the emails that she has
    stored on her computer?
    To backup all Mail.app data including account information, do the following.
    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on an external hard drive used for backup purposes only or burn it to CD media.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. The com.apple.mail.plist file stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences. Do the same with this file.
    Done.

  • Need Help W/ Different Signatures & Accounts Using Mail Program

    Hi all!
    I have 2 questions:
    1) Say I send an email from [email protected], but I also have an account with [email protected] in this mail program with a separate mailbox. When I compose my new email address from the mailbox for [email protected] address, the account selected is [email protected], instead. I know there is a way to fix this, but I can't figure out how to do it.
    2) I have different signatures for each of my multiple email addresses in my Mail program. Is there a way to make each one the automatic signature for the account it is being sent from?
    I am using the 1.3.11 (v622/624) version of mail on my G4 Mac Mini.
    Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

    Hi,
    I'm back trying to get some much needed help. Now I'm getting this message when trying to open Premire Elements 3.0 from my C drive. I get the message "Sorry a serious error has occurred that requires Premier Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." When clicking on OK or the closing X it shuts down. I tried the advice that I received in this forum. I tried deleting "workingset.prsl" . Instead of deleting it I dragged it out of the "Styles folder and onto my desktop. I didn't delete it for fear that I would cause myself more problems. This way if it didn't work I could put it back into the "Styles folder which I did because it didn't work. I'm desperate now. I'm making a video of our 50th wedding anniversary that I have been working on for over a year and now I can't get it opened.

  • My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time -been

    My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time.

    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

  • Mail program not working

    I have 3 mailboxes connected to my mail program on imac. 2 of them are the same mailbox from my yahoo mail.One works on STMP and another works on POP server.
    The first question is, how do I combine them into one mailbox because I do get mails that are duplicated sometimes.
    The second question is that every now and then, I cannot send mails out from my mailbox. I will get the message as shown in the graphic below. and every mail server cannot work. I will usually restart the mail program, and try it again a few times. Is there some setting i can change?
    Last question is that all the mails downloaded from my yahoo servers, are not found in the yahoo server anymore. My webbased yahoo mailbox is empty. Any way to undo that? it is definitely safer to keep my mails in the webbased server and not in my com. I have no idea why my webbased mailbox is wiped out in the first place.
    Any gurus....? Care to help?
    Very frustrated,
    Chu

    Hi Chu,
    Regarding your last question (empty Yahoo mailbox): I'm assuming that these are accessed via POP. It's been a while since I used POP for mail, but there should be a setting that controls the "delete after a message is downloaded from the server" behavior: likely on Mail-->Preferences-->Accounts, possibly part of the setup on your Yahoo account itself.
    Just IMO, but if your intent is to leave the email on the server, rather than simply have it forwarded to your email client, then you might want to look into using IMAP instead of POP. A side benefit of this would be that changes in one client (message read, message flagged, etc.) would be reflected in all other clients, including the web interface.

    Hi,
    The easiest way to send e-mail from Forte is using ExternalConnection class
    - no "C" wrappering required. Simply, just use SMTP. It is very easy to
    implement and because it could be written in Forte you get all the
    advantages that come with it.
    On Forte -users list look for mail that I send a few weeks ago about SMTP
    email client.
    If you can not fidnd it let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with corrupted Mail program

    This all started because my battery is so weak at this point that if I unplug for more than a few minutes, the system just blinks off....which is exactly what happened while the Mail program was doing something important. When I rebooted, my mail program was completely corrupted.
    Now it hangs while checking mail and registers up to 24 new e-mails, but shows none of them, or simply fetches the same e-mail over and over again in each folder. Then it freezes up while the progress whirlygig thing goes around and around...even if I take a mailbox off-line it seems to do this same thing.
    I disabled some of the mailboxes and found that this erased the content of all my e-mails in each folder that was disabled.
    Meanwhile, it will actually send mail perfectly well.
    If I remember correctly, reinstalling my system software will not fix this problem, unless there's something I don't know about. (These days there are many of those things.) Is there a preferences folder I can trash or something I can do to fix my mail program, while hopefully saving my past e-mails (I can dream, can't I?)? Suggestions are most welcome.
    Thanks so much!

    Golden Shoes:
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I have a POP account. Several.
    Also, I don't run the computer without the AC. It was being moved from a desk to a table when it shut down suddenly before I could reattach the cable.
    Would the mail preferences be located in the user folder? I tried getting rid of them and still had the same problem. I'm worried about tossing something global out when I shouldn't.
    Finally, if you don't mind, snark never solved a problem. I'm sure you have nothing to prove and if you do, I don't need to know. I simply had a question since I am new to this operating system.

  • Facebook's "backdoor" bug into Mail program?

    Yesterday, I was using Facebook's Photos upload feature to upload some pics for my profile's album and the feature generated an actual file directory to my computer desktop and hard drive. I uploaded some pics and all went fine. Then, the Mail program was not able to retrieve any new email and I keep getting messages that other mail client is in use, blocking my access to retrieve emails. I thought this is strange because I have no other mail client opened except Mail. This occurred right after I used Facebook's Photos Upload Feature.
    So I'm thinking... could there be a backdoor/exploit bug generated from Facebook's ability to access to a computer's file directory, specifically targeting Mail and create the impression that other mail client is in use while Mail is not able to retrieve emails?
    I just don't know anything more deep but I'm just concerned. Anyone have this experience?

    I haven't had the specific problem you've had, but I have recently begun responding to requests to join Facebook and at the same time I've begun to have, after years of no problems, weird problems with Mail. Something going on? Good question....
