Setting the browser to use in mac mail

my mail.app is suddenly using IE when I click on an email link.
how do I set this back to Safari? I see no preferences for this in mac mail prefs.
thanks!
G5 Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

You set the default browser via Safari preferences and you set the default email client via Mail.app preferences.
Choose Preferences from the Safari menu, then click General. Choose Safari from the Default Web Browser pop-up menu.

  • Setting the smpt port out wil .mac mail

    Maybe I'm not getting this, but I want to set the send mail port on my iPhone that is using my .mac account. I looked at the instructions for doing this and go to Setting -> Mail, but I cannot find where to put in the smtp.mac.com:258 or whatever port I'm using. Can some one walk me through where I put this in?
    Or do I set up the .mac mail as an "Other" mail account?

    Actually, I do need to set my smtp, as my ISP provider will only allow mail out on a specific port, and the .mac preference does not include that port.

  • How do I set up an alias email with Mac Mail, so that my alias shows up when I send email from my Mac Mail account?

    I am have an email forwarding service, not an email account, which I want to set up as an alias for Mac Mail so that my email appears in the "from" address when I send messages from Mac Mail. I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do to set up this configuration. Thanks so much for your help!

    There are a couple of ways of doing this. The easiest is probably to just add the secondary address in the Mail.app -> Preferences -> Accounts field.
    The specifics of which vary a little based on the OS/Mail.app version you're running, but in Yosemite:
    Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
    Select your iCloud account and change the 'Alias' popup menu from your iCloud address to 'custom'.
    Doing this enables the 'Email Address' field. In this field you can enter the email address you want to appear in your From header.
    If you want to use multiple addresses (e.g. your iCloud address and your other alias), you can enter a comma-separated list of addresses - e.g. '[email protected], [email protected]' and then you'll have a pop-up menu on each new message where you can choose the address to use for each outgoing message. You can also set the default address in Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from:

  • Is there a way to limit the frequency of the "autosaving drafts" feature in Mac Mail on Lion?

    Using Mail Version 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3)
    On MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.1
    Wondering if Is there a way to limit the frequency of the "autosaving drafts" feature in Mac Mail on Lion?
    Looked all thru preferences and googled the crap out of this and can't seem to find the answer I want.
    Basically, I have my mailbox behaviors set up exactly the way I want them. (ie deleted messages get saved to my "Trash" folder on the server) I do not think I should have to change them, but because of the autosave feature saving almost every 3 characters typed, I have an over abundance of versions saved in my Trash folder. This problem would be solved were there a preference somewhere I could select to save drafts "manually only" or "opened messages save when quitting" or something along those lines.
    Is this a preference setting already that I am missing?
    I would settle for a rule, just not sure what perameters should be set for this to work.

    Typically a server has a settable parameter to limit concurrent connections. Check the server's documentation.

  • Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

    Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

    Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
    What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.

  • Can't use my mac mail

    Okay, so I really need some advice. Because the gmail account I once had connected to my mac mail is now deleted, so I can therefore not use my mac mail at all. And I'm wondering if there's some way to fix this and set up my mac mail and connect it with another email account.
    I'd be really grateful if you'd have some advice to give.

    iCloud is not supported on 10.6.8, the minimum is Lion 10.7.2.
    You can make mail work by manually entering the account however:

  • How to change/set the browser title from web forms (XP platform with SP2)

    I am running Form9i, I have set the browser windows title from Web Forms dynamically by using following method. However, when my PC has changed to XP, the function seems not work. Does anybody have same problem and how to solve it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Add the Javascript code to your baseHTML file. For example,
    if you are using the basejini.htm:
    <HEAD><TITLE>%pageTitle%</TITLE>
    <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript1.2">
    function Change(a) {    document.title=a;    } </script>
    </HEAD>
    In web Forms , call the javascript function with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT built.
    For Example the following code set the browser title with username . web.show_document('javascript:Change('||'"'|| get_application_property(USERNAME)||'"'||')','_self');
    Best Regards,
    Bowie

    Dear Frank,
    Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me in detail which built-in function in Webutil can set value in browser title ?
    Btw, is it possible for me to set parameter "separateFrame=True" in formsweb.cfg and set the form window title by using SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,v_msg_string)?
    Best Regards,
    Bowie

    Hi,
    It is possible to set the Document title for PDF output. Open the Reports Property Inspector, under PDF Document Taxonomy, you can set the Document title. But this does not show up in the browser when you open the document.
    thanks,

  • When I type in an entire address, I get search results page. how can I set the browser to find the actual address.

    Is there a way to set the browser to go directly to the address I typed in, instead of providing search results and options for spelling and extensions?

    You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
    * Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

    Yes, you can. Is "Mac OS X (10.7)"  still your current system?
    You can create groups from the File menu in the "Address Book /Contacts" application.

  • I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. It is correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac.

    I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.  Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...

    Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
    On the iPhone nothing seems to  work!
    Facts:
    1. everything worked perfectly for years!
    2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated  on my google account so it cannot be this one.
    3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
    4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
    5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
    6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
    7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
    8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
    9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
    Anyone out there having a clue?

    I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

    both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
    doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
    it's = it is
    Mac Mail's fault = possessive
    any help with the actual issue? thanks!

    What problems are you having?  Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue. 
    Which os version are you using?  It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. As well as the version of Mail you are using which you also did not mention.
