Selecting Emails in Mail

Like everyone I get a load of spam - is the a junk filter in Mail - if so where can I find it and I only seem to be able to select one email at a time to delete is it possible to select all or several?

No, you have to do that in your mail app on your computer, or enable better SPAM filtering...
Let's hope this changes.

Attempting to select Adobe E-mail service in the "preferences",am not receiving email with verification code to continue

I am trying to select Adobe e-mail service in the "preferences", but am not getting an email with verification code that allows me to continue. Anyone else with this problem? Probably need to contact Adobe directly, but so far not find that option.

I hope you receive some replies as I have a very similiar situation. I wish I could help but obviously I cannot.
\Good luck!

How can I choose multiple pictures, on the iPad, to attach in an email using Mail?

I can easily choose and attach one picture from Photos to an email in Mail. I cannot seem to figure out how to choose multiple pictures, then attach all of them at once. I even tried using a separate folder to attach but that did not work either. Thanks in advance.

From the Photos app tap Edit.
Tap to select up to 5 photos. More and the Mail option is not possible.
Tap Share.
Tap Mail.

Good morning! i'd like to know why when I write an email in Mail, it creates numerous copies each second which fill the trash box. My email is set up with IMAP and is a gmail account. Thanks

Open Mail preferences and select Accounts then MailBox Behavior. You probably need to unclick the safe draft to server.

Multiple drag emails from Mail to a finder window and for it to name the files as the subject heading

Hi
I have been using Mac's now for about 10 years and this is my first problem.
I have recently moved into an office that use PC's with a Windows server.
I have set up the network to transfer files and view the windows server and it works fine.
I have a problem in that my colleagues on PC need to be able to view my emails which I send and receive using Mail. They therefore need to have logical title names and the date sent and ideally who to or from. I view them and archive them using Mail which is fine for me.
I understand about the archiving and copying of mailboxes but this gives every email the un-fathomable title name 9944847 etc.
I can get round the problem by dragging and dropping every email I send and receive individually and it will automatically give it a more logical title of the subject heading however the date is when it was dragged not when sent. This is a pain if I am away or forget to save an email for a day or two and then the date is inconsistent.
Is there a way to batch copy emails from Mail to a finder window and for it to name the files as the subject heading or to archive the files in a similar way so they retain the detailed information my colleagues require.
And no I can not get to all change to Mac and I don't really fancy using Outlook, Entourage or Parallels.
Please help.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. If you get a warning that the file is in use when you try to empty the Trash, log out and log back in.

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
Thanks

How to keep email on AOL server when mirror email on Mail is deleted?

I linked my AOL account to Mail.app (on my MacBook) via IMAP protocol using the AOL Service Assistant. I understand that under this protocol, the emails on my IMAP is a mirror image of what is on the AOL server and vice versa. Hence if I delete any messages in Mail, it is also deleted on the AOL server. Is there any way that I can delete the message in Mail but have it remain on the AOL server?
Thanks in advance for any help.
MacBook (Black) 1GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)
iBook SE (Firewire) 466 Mac OS 9.0.x

Hi DawnMaple!
I don't use Apple Mail, so I can't directly answer your question, but even if there is a procedure to do what you want, after a certain amount of time, I think it may be about seven days, AOL will still remove the Emails from the server,
If you want to retain all of your AOL mail, you can do it with the AOL software, if it is installed.
Open AOL Preferences > Mail.
Select Save the mail I read & Save the mail I send.
Then still in AOL Preferences, use the scroll bar to navigate to Filing Cabinet, and click on that.
Checkmark Automatically delete items in my filing cabinet, and in the contextual menus, below Delete after, select Never.
Click on OK.

Submit Button Acrobat 9 Pro & Select Email Client Screen

I'm new to Acrobat and creating forms and need help. I've created a few forms for work using 8 Pro, which have been successful. I decided to purchase 9 Pro for home and use for our school's PTU membership drive.
I created a form using a Word doc and the Acrobat Form Wizard. It worked, I adjusted my fields, added a Submit button with mailto:[email protected] as the URL and want to distribute the form as "save and distribute later." This works. When I bring up the form for a test run, and submit to myself I get a pop up asking to Select Email Client - do I use Outlook (a few others are also listed) or Yahoo or Hotmail as my email servers. If I click Outlook, everything is fine, the document gets forwarded to me with no problem (because I use Outlook). My concern is for members who don't use Outlook (or the others). They have to go through more steps by saving the doc to their hard drive and emailing it to me as an attachment. I would really like to avoid extra steps for them.
It there a something I'm missing in setting up my Submit button so it automatically gets emailed to me irregardless as to what they are using for email server?
I have searched for 2 hours and have come up with nothing that I understand. If you respond, please remember to be clear as I'm not a techno person.
Thanks for ANY and ALL help you can provide.

You are running into some of the classic problems/concerns for new users with forms. I will try to summarize the issues related to your work:
1. You can create forms directly in Acrobat under the TOOLS menu using the form tools found there, or by selecting the options in the FORMS menu that generally take you to LiveCycle Designer. Questions on the forms should be put to the appropriate forum of these two, since the processing and menus are different.
2. Having the forms be allowed to be saved (necessary for submitting the full form and not just the data that can be imported to the form) requires Reader Rights to be activated for clients using Reader. This activation limits the form use to 500 uses (check section 15 of the EULA for more details) that could be a problem for you, depending on the school size. If you have the form data submitted and do not activate the Rights, then there is not a limitation. Simply import the XML or FDF file into the form when you get it.
3. The e-mail submission you have concerns about is valid. If you do not mind getting questions that it would not work on their machine, then fine. The e-mail submission will not work on all machines (PC , MAC, or UNIX). It depends on the client setup (you have no control), historically requiring MAPI to be active (typical of Outlook, but not other packages). In AA9/AR9 there appear to have been some extensions to this, but a lot of folks use version 9. In fact I have a different version that has come on every machine I have and do not have AA9 yet (AA4-AA8), with even older versions lying around some place. A few weeks ago someone checked in who was using AA4. Since I mentioned this problem, the solutions are:
a. live with it and ask folks who can not submit to copy the info into the body of an e-mail or such.
b. find someone who can add the proper scripts to a web server to receive the data. The school IT folks (if any) might be able to help there.
c. submit the data in HTML form through a cgi-mail or formmail server that is available on many ISP servers (you may have to ask). These servers require some hidden fields telling the server where to send the submitted form data.
Hope that helps. Bill

Need to avoid Select Email Client dialog when submitting Acrobat X form

We are using Windows 7 / Office 2010 32-bit with Adobe Pro X, and have found that when creating a PDF from a Word 2010 document (via either print or convert or Word PDF or XPS), then using Acrobat to create a form from it, when we apply the action Submit a Form, the finished product presents users with a Select Email Client dialog. The choices within the dialog are Desktop or Internet email. We are using a direct email address, not a server location. This happens even when NOT using the Distribute wizard. Outlook is confirmed as the email choice in Adobe Preferences Internet Settings. Anyone encounter this issue and have a fix or workaround? We want the email to auto-create as it does in our XP / Acrobat 8 Pro environment without a dialog presentation.
Thanks for any and all thoughts!

Yes, you are right that is the way to go. Thank you!
I have tested and am now using successfully:
// Set email address
var cToAddr = "%email.address%";
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Survey Response";
var cBody = "Message body text";
// Send the form data as a PDF attachment in an e-mail message
this.mailDoc({bUI: false, cTo: cToAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});

How do I delete 88,000 emails on Mail

I use the email from my COX Internet provider account on Safari and only once in awhile the MAIL application opens up because, for example, I am sending the link to a Web page to someone. For whatever reason, if I do end up opening MAIL, it takes a long time to open all my various mail account on COX, GMAIL, YAHOO, and download new and old emails. I see that on, one COX account alone, there are 88,000 messages, mostly unread. I tried to sort via incoming date and deleting them using select shift to highlight pages of the messages and hitting delete. Even if that works, I see that it will take unacceptable amounts of my time and I might even then have to empty the TRASH on Safari to finally get rid of all of them. That takes more hours when the computer, not me, will be working.
Anyway, looking at various support pages I've not found out how to delete either all, or most of the old emails on MAIL and still have them on my accounts in the IP Cox mail, gmail and yahoo. The INBOXES on those are not close to being as bad as the situation on the MAIL app. MAIL seems to have emails back to when I bought the computer. Maybe if I straighten it out, I might find MAIL more useful.
Of course, I suppose I could just leave the MAIL inbox full of 88,000 since it does not seem to do any harm, except to make me not want to use MAIL.
Preferably, it would be nice to clean up the application, but I do not know how.

Hi Donald,
click on "Mailbox" then "Restore" (the very last option in the dropdown menu). Mail will empty the inbox (ALL MESSAGES WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR INBOX) and will try to reload all the messages right from the mail server(s). If you want to keep the inbox empty simply disconnect your computer from the Internet before clicking "Restore" and change the account settings so that Mail doesn't check your accounts on startup and/or automatically (you'll find that in the account settings).
I hope, this is the solution you were looking for.

Some emails in Mail 5 are brown / gold colour

Hey guys
Installed OS X Lion and migrated my emails into Mail 5, and i've noticed that some messages are like a gold / brown colour. I thought this might have something to do with being Junk, or marked as junk, but I have selected 'Not junk' but no change.
I don't know what it means? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Rik.

Keeping emails in mail but deleting them from .mac account?

My mobile phone wants to download the entire .mac mailbox whenever I check my mail - is the answer then to empty the .mac mailbox everyday? I once did this and lost all the emails in Mail on my computer. I'd like to keep them on the computer, but is this possible?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Exactly how you use your Powerbook and phone is the key to arriving at the best way to do this. If you do not have your Mac connected at all times, or at least when needing to use the phone to check email, then you can set up your .mac account as a POP account, rather than .mac, and then remove messages from the server whenever you first download them onto your computer.
A .mac account, like an IMAP account (it really is just an IMAP account) has its Inbox, and usually its Sent mailbox residing on the server, whereas a POP account has the Inbox, Sent, etc residing on your hard drive. While you can leave messages on the server, when using POP access, so as to download to other computers, the original concept of POP was to download and remove.
The Mail Application has all the needed selections for instructing the server to keep or remove messages after download, when the account is set up as POP.
The other choice is to create a New Mailbox, which will be on your Mac, and then move messages from the .mac Inbox to this new mailbox, and thus remove them from the Inbox, which should take them off the server.
More info, please.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
