  • I'm new to Apple's Mail program (I've used AOL for years). How do I configure Mail so once an email is read it automatically disappears from the list of emails? Conversely, how do I mark "keep as new" an email I've read but I want to remain on the screen?

    Right click on the email  in the left hand pane.  Select Mark as Unread to return it to an unread state.  Click Delete to move it to the trash or file it in a folder if you have any configured.  You may need to click the show button on the upper left hand side of the window to see your folders.  The + sign at the bottom of that pane allows you to add a new folder.

  • In Mavericks Mail, I can't select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail. I don't want to hand select hundreds of e-mail addresses.

    In Mavericks' new e-mail program, I cannot select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail without having to re-open the address book for every e-mail address I am opening. Please help.

    The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
    1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
    2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

    3) install an older version of TB:

  • I use Firefox to access AOL e mail, I want to delete a username where I sign in for AOL mail. How do I do this?

    One day I went on Firefox to go to AOL, once on AOL I went to sign in to get my e mail. By mistake I typed my password in the space for Username. I erased it but ever since that day, when I click on the username space, among the offered usernames, from the drop down menu, is my pass word and I want to delete it so it never appears on that drop down menu of usernames. Thanks.
    JEFF

    Thanks, Mandel. The undesired username is not stored in AOL. For instance if I would use Safari to access AOL e mail, the undesirable username '''''does not''''' appear. It only appears when I'm using Firefox to access AOL and then sign in for my AOL e mail and click on the username space. This bad username is there because one day I typed it in by mistake and Firefox for some reason remembers it whenever I sign on. Thanks for any further info. JEFF

  • I suddenly cannot access my aol E mail account. Says my username or password are incorrect which they are not. Has worked for ages and has now stopped. have reset the phone but the same message!! Frustrated. Martyn

    I suddenly cannot access my AOL E mail account via my iPhone. Has worked for ages. Now says username or passowrd is incorrect which it is not! Have reset the phone but still no joy. Any ideas........please! Martyn

    Is there any chance your AOL account has been hacked?  Check it to make sure your password is still what you think it is.
    Also make sure caps lock isn't on when typing your password.

  • How do you access "trouble shoot" for mail.  My AOL account is set up on the mail icon but it some how defaulted to another Wi fi account and could not receive email.  We reset the the Wifi but somehow didn't complete the process.

    How do you access "trouble shoot" for mail.  Our AOL account is set up on the mail icon but somehow it defaulted onto another nearby Wifi account while everything else that was running stayed on our router.  We were unable to receive email on the AOL account and were directed to trouble shoot.  We reset the Wifi account but somehow didn't save it correctly.  Now we cannot get back in to reset it again.  Direction??

    Hello
    I don't really understand your question. The Mail application cannot independently access a different wifi network from the one your computer is using.
    Are you trying to troubleshoot your wifi (ie, you can't get into your own wireless network), or the Mail program (you can't get email)? Are there any error messages you see when you try to do one or the other?

  • Not all AOl e-mails appear each time I select e-mail icon

    I just bought the Iphone 3G and I seem to be having problems with my AOL e-mails that are pushed to the phone. Sometimes when I select the mail icon all of my AOL e-mails are there but other times, only 2 show up and there is a message that there are 95 e-mails and 2 unread. I then have to select this line and the e-mails start downloading. Shouldn't all of my undeleted e-mails appear when the mail icon is selected and then when selected, any new e-mails would appear. Why would I have to select this line (95 e-mails and 2 unread) to see all of the e-mails that I have read and not deleted.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I had this problem also. Because I was moving over 200 emails, I couldn't not drag them one by one.  I followed th eadvice to "archive mailbox" someone here suggested.  That works, but the emails are then unformatted and hard to read.  I also dragged all the emails after selecting all, into a Pages document.  Then I saved.  Then I dragged th esaved doc into my burn folder.  I burned th edoc and the mailbox archive onto a CD.  After checking that it was there and useable, I deleted the document on my Mac, and then deleted all the emails from the mailbox.  I was doing this to protect thr privacy of some medical emails while freeing up space on my Mac's harddrive.  I hope that helps everyone.

  • HT3576 Can you get sound notifications for mail and iMessage with the new iPad. Under general sounds I have a sound selected for both of those. My volume is turned all the way up but I still don't get sound notifications with these apps. Suggestions?

    I have sound turned on under general> sounds. The volume is all the way up and I can hear it when i adjust it. However under notifications sound is not an option for mail or iMessage. Just badges and alerts. Both of which are on. I would really like to hear my notifications. Any suggestions.

    1. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right
    2. Check the volume and mute settings

  • Import AOL Communicator mail failed. Error: no valid mbox files were found

    I´m having problems to import (archived) AOL Communicator mail messages into Mac Mail. After choosing File > Mailboxes > Import data from "Other" and then selecting the the folders "LIbrary" > "Application Support" > "AOL Communicator" > "local" > "Archives.sbd", I always get the error message: no valid mbox files were found.
    (Actually the Received and Sent files in the Archives.sbd subfolders are NOT highlighted, even though the Archives.sbd and it´s subfolders (like myaolmail.sbd) are.)

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

  • How do I add an email address for mail?

    I want to have different email addresses for different members of my family.  Can I and how do i do it?

    There are various e-mail services providers like Yahoo, Gmail, Aol, Outlook etc. You can go to their website and create an e-mail account for each of your family member (I recommend Gmail by Google). Once you have created all the accounts, you can add them to the mail app on the mac very easily. So, go and create e-mail accounts for your family members and then in the Mail app click Mail -> Add Account, select your e-mail service provider and follow the instructions on the screen.

  • I have a 10.2.8 os. I had opened up the AOL logo on the bottom bar. Two aol boxes came up. I can get them to go away for a short time and then they come back. I have not used AOL for 6 years. How can I get the boxes to go away?

    I have a 10.2.8 os on a G4 desktop. A week ago I clicked on the AOL icon in the bottom bar. I have not used AOL for six years. Two aol boxes came up. I can not get the boxes to go away for long. They may go away for 15 minutes and they come back  while I am working. How can I get these  aol boxes to go away?
    I will be upgading to Tiger; 10.4.

    Right click on the AOL icon and select move to trash.
