Quick view of in incoming eMails in Mac OS X (Lion)

Hello!
At work I use Microsoft Windows XP with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server. When I get a new eMail a box with a quick view of the eMail pops up for a few seconds in the bottom right corner of my screen. This is very comfortable because you can see directly the originator and the first lines of the eMail without going to Outlook.
When I get a new eMail in Mac OS X I have to go to the Mail application in order to see the content of the new eMail.
Is there also a function in Mac OS X (Lion) to have a quick look of new eMails without going to Mail application?

Hi there
You could try growl with the GrowlMail plugin. More info at http://growl.info/

  • How to view file access log (AFP) on Mac OS X Lion (10.7) server?

    I want to track the files beeing uploaded and downloaded or deleted on the shares on the server by different users. There has to be some log where the Mac OS writes an entry for every file access (like upload / download / rename / delete) for each user. How can I access it? How can I filter the actions by user account? Do I have to first activate such a logging or is it activated from the first (standard) setup of the Mac OS X Lion server?

    try:
    sudo serveradmin settings afp:activityLog=yes
    then the log entries should be at
    /Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceAccess.log

  • How to view all pages of a multi-page HTML email in Mac Mail 5+ (Lion to Mavericks)?

    In previous versions of Mac Mail (up to that included with Snow Leopard, Mail 4), it was possible to scroll through all pages of a multi-page HTML email, like that send from the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting system.
    Since Lion, that has not been possible. The first page displays, but that's it.
    As a possible complication, I'm accessing an Exchange server, not IMAP.
    I have not been able to find a setting that might be related to this, nor have I found anyone who seems to be perturbed by this issue. Perhaps there's very few of us trying to read multi-page Tivoli reports on a Mac.
    In any case, I would prefer not to switch to a different mail app, or sign on to the Outlook Web Service version of our email to see the full report.
    Any thoughts?

    I've been able to find someone willing to do some testing that I can't do without installing old versions of Reader on my computer.  The surprising (to me) result is that the Submit button causes the problem.  By simply removing the Submit button, Reader 10 is now able to print page 1.  The Submit button was set up to do a "mailto".  I don't know whether other destinations also cause the problem of the page not printing with old versions of Reader.

  • Does Mountain Lion scan incoming email in Mac Mail?

    I've been using Avast for my Mac but I had to turn off the Mail Shield in order to recieve mail.  I was wondering if Mountain Lion has any security measures for Mac Mail?  Does it scan incomging email?
    New to the Mac world sorry for my ignorance, I'm learning:)
    Thanks!

    Technically, it sort of scans e-mail attachments. If you receive something that can be executed on a Mac - an application, a Unix shell script, etc - then it will be scanned when you try to open it. If it is one of a few known Mac trojans, you will be prevented from opening it. If it is Windows malware of some kind, you won't be able to open it, but you also won't be warned either.
    For more information, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • How do I delay sending an email in Mac OS X Lion Mountain?

    I am VERY new to using a Mac and want to do what I can do in Outlook. However I cannot find an option to delay the sending of an email. Can anyone help?
    I have spent about 30 mins googling this and I read alot about scripts? Am I meant to write a programme or something??? Because I can't do that ha ha! Surely there is an easy way and an option which takes me straight to it?
    Thank you.

    It is the same as the iPhone and iPad. Apple puts its apps on the first page of launchpad and then other apps on the second page. You can drag and move them around the same way as on the mobile devices.

  • How to sync hotmail contacts and emails on Mac OSX Mountain Lion?

    I have problem in setting up my hotmail synchronization on my macbook, specially my contacts and my calendars, including about my 10 years business conections and records. What shall I do?

    The extra content will be in the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder.  Check to see if that folder is still present. Or check in the Home/Library/Application Support for the iDVD foldler.
    If you find it in either of those locations launch iDVD, go to it's Advanced preference pane and point iDVD to the location of the iDVD/Themes folder:
    Otherwise you'll need the disks that came with your Mac to do a custom install if iDVD and the addtional resources.  The disk will be similar to one of these:

  • Create Incoming Mail Rule Based on Embedded HTML in Emails in Mac Mail?

    I want to filter a selection of incoming emails in MAC MAIL that have an image embedded into the email. The image is the only thing that will distinguish the emails apart and so I'm wondering if it is possible to filter based on embedded html in an email? If so how? Thanks!

    There are no embedded images in HTML mail; it's an attachment. If you want to filter out messages with attachments of one or more types, you need to create a Rule that looks for that criteria and then transfers those messages to your desired location.
    For example, if you wanted to filter out messages that contained .gif images, you'd setup a Rule where "Any Attachment Name" "Ends with" ".gif" and then choose what you want to happen to those messages.
    And the program is Mail; not MAC MAIL.

  • Incoming email disappears after opening.

    Does anyone know why new incoming emails in .mac account would disappear right after opening?  I have searched my entire mailbox looking for them and I have to ask the sender to resend.  This is not for all new incoming emails,  it is sporadic. 

    There are some good ideas being tossed around here, and I'm sure everyone would agree that if it's a problem with the Yahoo! mail client or some type of security issue when receiving/viewing emails on multiple devices, the mail provider should be informed of the issue.  I found an outside resource on the Yahoo! site while researching the issue (How to report a problem). This method informs the mail provider of trends and perhaps they can make adjustments to help rectify these issues.
    From what it sounds like, the issue is specific to Yahoo! and should be troubleshot, tested, adjusted, and escalated to the mail host. Perhaps there are settings that can be adjusted on the account for optimal performance on the device.  
    Some other things to try:
    1) Try to download a different mail retrieval client from the Market (just type email in the search box, and you'll get plenty of hits).
    2) Try downloading the Yahoo! mail app from the Market to see if the errors persist there. 
    3) Ensure mail retrieval clients accessing the same account do not interfere with the email setup on your Android device. This
         mainly happens when desktop/pc software accesses the same email account as the Android device. 
    Please reply with any new info, troubleshooting steps, or breaking news regarding this email situation. 

  • Problems with incoming emails

    After going through tons of support discussions and trying all that i could i would like to ask your help guys.
    As header suggests im having problems with incoming emails on mac mail (4.6)  (outgoing mails are working perfectly)
    Yesterday evening i noticed that i cant receive emails (wheel just kept spinning without downloading anything but webmail and my phone mail app show that there are tons of unread emails)
    Today around 10AM it worked for second (after messing around with settings (which i did not touched again) but when came back from lunch --- ***** not working again)
    I checked that i have correct incoming & outgoing server names, correct passwords and all other settings like SSL (port995) are ok.
    Confirmed from my Email Service Provider that their servers, my quota etc are working propperly
    Mac mail Connection doctor does not show any red lights so it is ok
    Someone said that "unable to load" can be caused by "corrupted" email and i should Rebuild my mailbox to see if if might show what message is f*** up. => did that and it just stays in "Fetching new email" and below reads "preparing to retrieve messages"   and again nothing.
    I tried to make new account in Mac mail client and it is not helping ... same thing  Nothing.
    I tried to install thunderbird and create new account in there, got it to work for first time i tried but result was the same ... it only downloaded some messages and stopped working.
    Previously when i used to launch mac mail app on my laptop it always asked "do you want to connect to this server bla bla bla" => click ok and it downloaded everything but now i dont even get that pop-up message. (i think it disappeared after making account in thunderbird client and clicking "always trust" which did not help as it is still not downloading) 
    I would really appreciate your help cos im going mad with this problem and i cant get any help from my ESP
    PS. im using POP settings.
    Thank you in advance!
    Jimi

    Just remembered that i took printscreen from thunderbirds error when first attempted to set up new account. And now when looking at this it is the same message that i got every time when launching mac mail client. But as said this error went away after clicking "allways trust" (it does show my ESP name and due date is sept.2013")
    And error message was
    "Mail cant varify the identity of "autodiscover."mydomain"......".
    The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "autodiscover....."

  • Incoming email to my Mac is incredibly slow - yet I receive it quickly on my iPhone - any suggestions?

    Incoming email to my iMac is incredibly slow - yet the emails download quickly to my iPhone - any suggestions?  Thanks

    This is an update from mariefromarnold:
    I am now unable to download email to both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.  I have accessed my verizon.net account directly and all of the emails are there.  The issue appears to be that the messages will not download to either of these machines - they do download directly to both iPhones.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

  • My incoming emailes default to plain text even though view-message body as-originalHTML is checked

    Most (not all) of my incoming emails (in particular from one main client's employees) always come in plain text, I want to be able to view all message in HTML format and reply in html format (this is generally fine fr my response, but the trail leaves all their comments in plain text).
    I have view-message body as-originalHTML as ticked. Stil doesn't work. I run Thunderbird 24.4.0 on Mac 10.7.5. My server is gmail
    FYI, In account settings I have ticked the box 'compose messages in HTML format". Not that that is relevant..

    The email client they are using is relevant, and are you sure your getting HTML in the emails (ctrl+U will show message source)
    The normal arrangement is if Plain text and HTML are sent they are Plain text, followed by HTML. But having both like that is not a problem.

  • The message cannot be seen on incoming emails.  I can only view the message if I click on reply.  Also any links attached to email will not open.  I have tried everything to solve the problem but not able to.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Transaction to view the incoming emails into SAP system

    Hi Experts,
    Just like SOST for viewing outgoing email from SAP, is there any transaction exist to view the incoming emails into SAP system. Any comments on this concept is most welcome.
    Thanks in advance,
    Viven

    Check the T_codes in the package SO. All we have is in that package. I doubt except SAPoffice there is something. this should be handled by the Exchange server.
