Safari's "Email this page" keyboard shortcut opens second Mail.app

Hello,
First of all, neither the Safari toolbar button nor the File > Share > Email this page work at all. Both do nothing. Quitting Safari & Mail has no effect.
HOWEVER
The keyboard shortcut (command + shift + I) does work, but it opens another instance of Mail.app. There is only one version on my mac.
Any thoughts on that? I can't seem to find anybody else with such wierd behavior.

Try resetting the LaunchServices database.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
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 page that opens.
Copy or drag — don't type — the text below into the Terminal window:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain user
That's all one line, though it will scroll on this page. Triple-click anywhere in the text to select it all.
Press return. Log out, then log back in.

Safari's Email This Page doesn't launch Mail in Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks, Safari's "Share | Email This Page" no longer opens Mail if it's not already running. All I get when I try is a system beep. I have to first open Mail in order to send the page link.
Under ML, Mail didn't have to be open first - it just brought up the new message window and started Mail in the background.
Is this happening for anyone else?

thank you for replying Itrebing. Yess, you are right, however it is what RossRicky is writing about above, and there is no 'message' as you to kindly took the time to inquire about.
I just did what Linc Davis suggested by starting up in safe mode...thank you for posting this Linc.
I did not disconnet my external Hard Drives, or any of my periphierals (scanner which was not on, printer which was not on, headphones in case that matters...
Linc, oh ye of 97K points (amazing)...
RESULTS OF TEST;
you are so right, I did not have the problem in Safe Mode. I sent an email to myself, and the images all looked fine when I recivied the email. (sending a web page via Safari: Share , Email this page)
What now? How do I know what is causing it in regualar mode? As it is still happening in regular start up mode. See list of login items, and etrecheck report below.
Was not having this problem w the previous system, Snow Leopard. only since mavericks. Of course safari was a different version then too.
What do you think?
Really appreciate you alls help.
Warmly,
Hope

Does Safari's email this page feature work with opening gmail in the browser and not in Mail?

I use gmail, not mail, as my default email client. When I decided to give the "email this page" feature a try, it only opens up a new gmail compose window/tab in safari but doesn't actually include the link to whatever page I wanted to send. Is this the correct behavior? Is there anyway to go about getting this to work? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I have the exact same question.

Safari 6: Email this page, no page title as subject?

In all my other browsers, choosing "email link to this page" creates an email in my default mail program (Outlook 2011) with the page title as a subject line and the link to the page in the body of the email.
Safari 6 on 10.8, however, gives the link but no page title. Most times I want to send the title. Why the omission, and is there any easy work-around?

That does as I described above, opens the email with the link -- but no title. My question is about why no title.

Gmail iPhone app & mailto links, "Mail Link to This Page", etc. / Send-only Mail app account

Is it possible to handle mailto links & the like (e.g., "Mail Link to This Page" option in Safari) with the Gmail iPhone app?
If not, I would like to setup a Mail account for the inbuilt Apple iPhone Mail app, but only use it for outgoing messages. I do not want it to download messages, as the Gmail app will already be doing this. How can I setup the iPhone Mail app as send-only? (specifically for a Gmail account)
Thanks.

Is this issue solved for you yet?
I still have the same problem.
Mail.app changes the configurations on my POP settings from "password" to "apop". Since I don't use "apop" I cannot receive mail. Further, after going through each mail account (about 20 of them) and changing them back to "password" and saving each account setting I attempted to receive mail again to no avail. So, I checked the account configurations again only to discover that mail.app will not save the account settings to "password" and is forcing the "apop" settings.

HT201342 Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?

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.

Nothing happens when I hit Safari File/Share/Email this Page.

The other available options under 'Share' work, however, File/Share/Email this Page yields no response. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail

Email This Page Link

I'm using the JavaScript code below for creating an "Email
This Page" link,
but it doesn't work for a dynamic page that has more than one
variable. For
example, if the URL is
http://www.thispage.com/page.asp?id=123&color=red
it
does not grab the whole URL. It only captures
http://www.thispage.com/page.asp?id=123
in the email (leaving out color).
How can I get the email link to capture the entire URL for a
dynamic page
instead of cutting it off at the "&"?
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

Just found an article called
ASP:
How to Get the Current Page URL
If this works, you´d probably just have to replace the
current
document.write(window.location);
with
document.write(' <% response.write(curPageURL() & "?"
& Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")) %> ');
using the function that´s explained in the article.
Works ?

How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.
Thanks!

No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.

Why does Calendar keep opening my Mail.app to send me email notifications?

Why does Calendar keep opening my Mail.app to send me email notifications? I've disabled any settings that look like they could be used to sending me an alert. I've also read that disabling the email alerts in gmail would also help (since I use 3 gmail calendars in addition to my icloud calendar). Any ideas on how I might fix this issue?

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in?

It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?
I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts. I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't. The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number. Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.

I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email. I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

When I open my mail app it shows that I have unread mail, so I click mark all read and carry on my business. About 2 seconds later all the mail I just marked comes back unread. This keeps happening, what can I do?

Everytime I get a new email, I open the mail app and mark it as read. Recently, whenever I receive emails I mark them all read yet 2 seconds later they are all marked unread. I again mark them all read and the same thing happens. I now have 95 emails from 2 weeks ago that I clearly marked read but they won't stay read. What can I do?

Can I open the Mail app without configuration an email address?

I'm trying to open a .eml file, which seems possible in the Mail app. However, I can't open the Mail app without configuration an email account. I don't have an email account to configure; just want to open the file. Or, let's suppose, I just wanted to browse the interface? How to avoid the account setup part?

Just enter anything short & plausible in as few fields as you can get away with : '[email protected]' works here, you'll get a brief 'not responding' or such at each stage, but it does allow you to use Mail.
