Running Mail in background

is there a way to have Mail check for new mail at startup but in the background (kinda like how Finder and Dashboard does)?
it's a little annoying to have Mail auto opening and sometimes having no new mail.

Once Mail has opened you can click the red button to close the window and it will continue to run in the background, checking at intervals (if you have set it to do so) - clicking on the Dock icon will bring the window up again.
In the Accounts>Login Items pane you could try auto-opening but hiding it.

  • How to send "SPOOL" on SAP MAil or external mail in background???

    I tried using 'SO_DOCUMENT_REPOSITORY_MANAGER' function but it failed when I run it in background. I learned that it calls a screen at the middle of the process which needs user input to go on with the process.
    Is there other way that I could send spool on SAPMail or external Mail in background??? Any suggesstions will be greatly appreciated.. thanx...

  • Running Pandora in background

    Is it possible and/or how can Pandora run in the background behind other apps?
    Thanks!

    Sorry Stophon,
    I don't think you are nailing this..... If anything you are misleading.
    Like Michael is saying multitasking happens automatically, double tap or single tap on the home button....
    So here is the deal, i don't think that he is on iOS4. If he is not Pandora will NOT run in the background. Once you start music on Pandora on iPad that runs iOS4 it will run in the background no matter what, even if you lock the screen,.... till your turn it off "stop the play"....its simple as that.
    If you HAVE iOS4 running on your iPad once you turn on Pandora and start playing music one tap on the home button to go to the app screen or double tap it will work in the background ..."Unless you start game" but having Pandora & doing documents, mail, rss feeds reading apps, iBooks etc... it will run okay..

  • I want thunderbird to run in the background when i call the default email client

    I have software that sends emails out for reports. The software calls the default mail client (Thunderbird) and sends the email. However this opens Thunderbird and gets in the way. Is there anyway that this could send the email without opening Thunderbird? Can it run in the background like outlook express? It needs to close after email is sent.

  • Firefox keeps running in the background, and cannot clear Cache after turning off Firefox

    After shutting down Firefox, it keeps running in the background. This creates a Problem when trying to clear the Cache, etc.
    Why does it keep running?

    Look into CCleaner and Advanced System Care and file a support question because if Firefox is not in task manager it is NOT RUNNING! By the way you mentioned you don't like that Firefox 7.0 because it doesn't have a tool bar with Mail and Facebook try this:
    *Make mail etc. bookmarks
    *Open the list of bookmarks
    *Right click one
    *Click "Properties"
    *Enter mail or facebook etc. in "Keywords"
    *Next time you want to open it just type mail or facebook etc. into the address bar
    *Hit enter or click the green arrow however you normally load a webpage when you type it in
    *This will open the web page without having to enter the URL

  • I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday.  With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar.  How can I tell what programs are running in the background.  I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them 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 you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
    If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • My IPhone4 is secretly using alot of data even though I have double tapped Home button and closed all the apps running in the background.

    My Iphone4 is secretly using alot of data even after I have double tapped the home button and closed all the apps running in the background.
    This just started happening 3 days ago.
    When im out of home, the phone drains battery REALLY FAST, I lose 6% battery in 5 minutes.
    The phone also heats up and feels very warm after a few minutes.
    When I turn the data plan off, it becomes normal again, like I lose 1% every 30minutes even while listening to mp3.
    I can conclude that its secretly using the 3G at an alarming rate which causes the battery to die so quickly
    I have uploaded 2 pictures showing what happens before and after I turn on my WIFI.
    Notice that the ping spikes like crazy on my home network once I turn on my WIFI on my IP4
    WIFI OFF:
    WIFI ON:
    I hope someone can assist me with this!
    Thanks!!

    There is a common misconception that closing an app on the Quick Launch screen (it's real name) also kills the app's background process. This is not the case. First, all built in apps (mail, contacts, calendar, game center, notes, reminders, Genius, Photo Stream, etc) continue running their background processes even if killed in the Quick Launch screen. For apps from the App Store killing the foreground process also gives the app the option of killing its background process, but it doesn't have to. In addition, any app that has Notifications enabled can restart its background process if it receives a Notification.
    iOS 7 gives the user more control over background processes; you can selectively allow or deny any app to run in background. As you apparently have not upgraded this option is not available to you.
    As Chris has already told you, there's an app on your phone that is stuck in a loop. As you discovered killing foreground processes did not resolve the problem. One trick that sometimes resolves this is to let the battery run down until the phone shuts off and will not restart. Then charge to 100%.

  • Here is How you close out an iPhone app that is running in the background

    How do you close out an iPhone app that is running in the background in the new iOS 4? We’ve had more than one reader ask this question since the launch of the new iPhone operating system, and the iPhone 4, last week. Some have asked about this due to battery drain concerns, and others just because they want to be able to shut down a backgrounded app.
    So this seems as good a time as any to share a quick tip on how you can force apps to close in the new iOS 4.
    There are two ways to fore an app to close down under iOS 4. The first is by doing a ‘force quit’ on the app, just as we have done under the previous version of the iPhone OS. To do this, you press and hold the power button while you are in the app you want to close down. Wait for the ‘Slide to power off’ bar appears across the top of the iPhone – then don’t hit Cancel, but instead just hold down the Home button continuously until the app closes and you drop back to the home screen.
    The much easier method now available in iOS 4 is to use the Multitasking bar to close any app you want. Here’s how:
    – Double tap the Home button to bring up the Multitasking bar
    – Press and hold anywhere on the multitasking bar until the icons on it start to wiggle.
    – While they are wiggling, each icon has a Minus sign symbol above it.
    – Press the Minus symbol above any app to close it down.
    That’s it. This will work for any app you want to close, including the Apple built-in apps like Mail and Safari etc.
    Hope this quick tip is helpful to some of you who are getting to know iOS 4.

    The apps on the bottom are recently accessed apps. Instead of closing when you exit the app they go into a suspended state, and will load faster when you next launch them. Unless they are a streaming app (like Pandora) they do not use any power when they appear in the active app list.
    This information, as well as the OP's post, are in the latest user guide. I guess nobody reads manuals anymore

  • Streaming Flash 'corrupted' unless Applian is running in the background

    After installing the Applian FLV player (and subsequently the Ask and Record Toolbar), I have had a very strange problem.
    Any youtube video plays like it is corrupted - very slowly, distorted sound etc.
    I have tried uninstalling both the Player and Toolbar, but the problem persists.
    I have resintalled Flash from Adobe too, but the problem persists.
    Then I noticed something strange - if I have the Applican player open (but not playing anything) in the background, then Flash videos play correctly?!?!?
    Any thoughts on resolving this?

    Hi,
    I'm facing this same problem. My usage time and standby time are both at 1 hour 10 minutes right now even though my phone was in sleep mode for the past 30 minutes. I've noticed this issue since upgrading to OS 4 but i'm using a 3G so there is no multi-tasking on my device. I know it isn't a low signal issue because I have a very strong cell signal at home. It isn't the mail app either since the last updated time was over 45 minutes ago when I last checked my mail. The only solution I've found for this is a hard reset (home button+sleep/wake button held down for 10 seconds). I don't believe that iPhone apps are "like a computer" because all apps from the AppStore are first approved by Apple and any apps that run in the background/leak memory are supposed to be rejected. I was hoping that iOS 4.1 would fix this issue but seeing that you're running ver 3 this clearly isn't only an iOS 4 problem. Hopefully somebody at Apple will catch this post and be able to provide an answer because I've had no luck trying to isolate the problem so far!!

  • Startup Mail in Background after Login

    After login and logout (even at reboot) Mail starts without any problem but is visible.
    Any ideas how to fix it?

    I just checked and Mail still doesn't hide on a login. I tried it on two different computers running 10.5.7 to be sure. the following workaround is what i use

  • When I click on a new link, it opens a whole new firefox instead of using my default which is running in the background

    I have firefox as my default browser. Anytime I click on an email or search for something, instead of opening my default browser, firefox loads a new firefox page. It is a blank page just as if I had never had one. It has nothing on it except how you would start out before you set up your tabs and history etc. My default firefox is still there running in the background but I must click on it and manually put in the link I was trying to open.
    Any suggestions.

    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
    Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
