Set Defaut mail program...

How do I set Safari to know that my Yahoo mail is my default mail program???? When I press SHIFT>COMMAND>I, I want Safari to go to Yahoo, not Apple mal!!

If I am not mistaken, Yahoo! Mail is not a desktop application but rather a web site. You can't set web sites to be your default mail program (Mac OS X has no way of knowing how to create new mails, set the To: address, etc).

Howdoi set default mail program in windows 7

how do i set aol as y default mail in firfox windows 7?

For aol.com, I found two posts that sound promising:
(1) AOL feature to add itself to Firefox's list of mailto options:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/902877#answer-341438
''Note: It's possible that Firefox will display a bar requiring you to give permission to AOL to add something to your browser. I'm not sure from the description in the post.''
(2) External program to redirect the link to the correct mail site:

Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail which is already the default mail program which is already set as the default mail program

Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail. Windows Live mail is already set as my default e-mail program.

Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that resolve the issue for you?

How do I set up an Auto Away Message in the Mail program?

How do I set up an Auto Away Message in the Mail program?

You need a mail rule that sends a response to anyone who sends you an email.
Here's a link that shows how.

My Mail programs insists on putting flags on some email; I cannot find a setting to make it STOP flagging email unless I want it to!

My mail program insists on putting flags on some emails and not others; I cannot figure out how it is choosing or why. I would like to flag an email if I need to do further work.
I have check rules...
Thanks, Mo

You need to download the Google Notifier and set it as the default email client. To restore the application, try running the applicable combo updater; if that doesn't work, you'll absolutely need the disks or a backup to get it back.

Change default mail program without setting up account

I want to set a different mail application as my default, but my understanding is that you have to do that from within Mail on OSX. Every time I open Mail, it asks me to set up an account, but I don't want/need to set up an account, and I can't get to the prefs window (to change my default mail program) without setting up an account. Help!

Hi, yes, that's one silly thing about OSX, one way around it is a Pref Pane called RCDefaultApp 2.1...

Setting up Yahoo Mail using OS X Mail program

I've tried everything and keep getting some sort of error about port 25 in trying to retrieve my yahoo mail on the Mail program installed on OSX. I've entered all of the following info:
Email address
User name
Password: Yahoo Password specified when I set up the account
Account type: POP
Incoming mail server: mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server: smtp.yahoo.com
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Contact your ISP and ask if they are blocking access to external SMTP servers on port 25; some ISPs do this to reduce the amount of spam people can send from their service.

How can i set up mac mail to allow read emails on hotmail from online to show as read when i open the mail program?

i use the default mail program on my macs to read my mail. my main account is hotmail. i also read my mail from my iphone, ipad, and internet while at work. I have been able to sync the internet version of hotmail and my iphone to sync so that if i read a message, it is marked as read on my iphone and vice versa. however, i cannot get the sync to function with the mac mail program. when i open the program it still marks all the messages as unread, despite them already being open and read from either the internet version of hotmail, or from my iphone. does anyone know any ways to fix this? thank you

On the Internet Accounts System prefs choose Add Other account…
Pick Mail account.
On the first page where you enter username and password, hold down the Option key and the Create button will change to Next. Click that with Option held down.
You can then manually create the account.

How can I update my Mail program in 10.6.8 to iCloud Mail?

I am running 10.6.8 on my iMac, which is my work "workhorse." I can't update it to Lion because I can't afford to update Quark/Photoshop et al that I'd need. And it works fine.
I also have a Macbook Air running the latest Lion, as well as an iPod 5 running IOS7. Both access my iCloud mail address and folders/filtering set up on iCloud.
However, the Mail program on my iMac is still showing my MobileMe mailbox (and MobileMe is in my system preferences). I had an elaborate filtering-to-folders set up in Mail for my MobileMe account (not in the online MobileMe). I've disabled all the filtering in my Mail program, but iCloud still sends some mail to the older folders I had set up in the program, overriding the new folder-filtering I have set up on iCloud.
So, sometimes I'll get an email sent to my .me email address from a client which I cannot see on my Macbook Air (or iPod) because it's sent to a folder on my iMac. I'm semi-retired so don't do much work anymore so I'd rather not "fire up" the iMac unless I've work to do. But as it is with the Mail situation, I have to leave it on all the time or I can miss client email.
My question is, can I get delete my "mobileme" account in my iMac Mail program and then add my iCloud account to it? I assume the MobileMe in the iMac's system preferences is there for good, because I can't update to Lion. Will that fix my problem, or is that even do-able?
I'm not sure I've stated this clearly. I'm trying to get total coordination between my iMac, MB Air, and iPod mail accounts in the Mail programs of each device without having to resort to using iCloud mail online on my iMac. Perhaps that's unavoidable?
Any help appreciated. If clarification needed, I'll try to explain this better... Thanks all!
Nicol K

You can perfectly well access email in 10.6.8 - I'm doing it myself - and if you are receiving @me.com mail you are already doing so. the @icloud.com version of the address is exactly the same thing, and messages to it will arrive in the inbox alongside those to @me.com.
However if you have set up Rules to act on incoming @me.com mail it obviously won't act on @icloud.com messages, so you will have to duplicate the Rules if you want to keep them.
If you want to try starting over you can delete the account and set it up again, using the method described here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You can't access other iCloud facilities in Snow Leopard but if all you are interested in is the email you have no need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Problems setting up Mail to Exchange

Hey everyone,
Having a few problems setting up mail to exchange on a Nokia 5800.
We have the latest version of Mail to Exchange installed.
Were using Microsoft Exchange 2007.
Example serup of what we have done:
Mail to exchange - New profile - Input Username and Password of domain account - Input domain name - Chose Internet as means of connection -
The Nokia goes off and searches for the domain information, finds it OK. Shows a message regarding a server certificate, we chose to install this certificate this time only.
Phone crashes?
Any ideas whats going on?

Hi Jim,
Depending on the customer feedback, it works fine. Apple Mail the client that comes with OSX supports standard protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP), these are all supported by Exchange 2010.
If you're running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, you can still use the Mac Mail App to connect to your account. However, you need to connect to your account without using IMAP or POP.
If you're running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion, you can use the Mail program included with those releases to connect to your email account automatically using an Exchange account.
When you use Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion and connect using an Exchange account, you can use features that aren't available to users who connect through IMAP or POP, including iCal and Address Book.

How do I add a Gmail account to my Mail program

Hi
Until now, I have only had @verizon.net email accounts. I now how a @gmail.com email account
I don't know how to configure my Mail program so I can receive gmail to my computer, and not have to get it using a Browser.
I have attended to configure, but it does not work: I get the following:
For Incomgin Mail Server I use:
mail.gmail.com
I get this response:
The POP server “mail.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.

First off Gmail supports "imap" which will allow you to keep your computer Mail app, and gmail account in sync. I would suggest you setting gmail up for imap instead of POP.
1. Open Mail go to preferences, select Accounts.
2. In the account window in the left pane "Accounts" press the "+" button at the bottom to add a new account.
3. An Account window will appear asking for information, select IMAP for account type, Description put what ever you wish such as "Gmail IMAP" or if you are going to have more that one accunt fro gmail the "User Gmail IMAP", Enter your Name, and your new Gmail address ex. "[email protected]".
4. Enter the information for incoming mail. In the incoming mail server box type: imap.gmail.com, Your user name should appear in the User Name box automatically if it is incorrect the correct it, enter your password that you use to access the mail from the web with gmail. Then press Continue.
If all the info is correct it will let you continue, as mail at that point actually goes out to that gmail server and attempts a login with that account and password, if it fails at this point then some info like your user name and password are incorrect. If it all goes well go to step 5.
5. The next screen will be the Outgoing mail, in the Outgoing mail server: box type: smtp.gmail.com, select authentication and put in your username and password for that account like you did on the prev step. Then press continue. Mail will again go out to that server and attempt a log in to very the information. If all goes well then mail will come back with an account summary window, you can then press continue.
That should do it, if it doesn't work post back.

How do I find the SMTP server number in my MB Pro mail program?

For some unknown reason my mail program is just now asking for a password when I attempt to send an email. I verified the password with my ISP. When I go to the Mail program/Preferences/Accounts I see a screen that has three sections. The third section offers "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)" but offers no box allowing a server number such as 587... Why is that option missing? What is likely causing this sudden request for a password?
Thanks,
Jim

I did that and and chose "Use custom port" and entered 587. Still is asking for a PW but when entered it tells me that the server will not accept the password thus will not sent the email. I can send and receive using my PC.
I also can receive emails on the Mac.. So, something else is "set" incorrectly.. ????

How do I add an e-mail program to foxit reader?

When I try to e-mail a page on Foxit Reader, it tells me there is no e-mail program available. I have my e-mail set up as default on Firefox but it doesn't show up on Reader.

Although there is a slight similarity in the names, Mozilla doesn't have anything to do with Foxit PDF Reader software.
