Sharing by email always opens mail but can this be stopped?

Before iOS7 if I shared a webpage or something from my FlipBoard by email it would just email the link, but since upgrading to iOS7 it now sends the email but for some reason is opening Mail and therefore doing a full send and receive which is driving me nuts because I don't want to receive emails on my iPad. Anyone know of a way this can be turned off at all?

Hard to believe you've used OS X so long but don't know how to change the sort order. For folders in List View simply click on the column header you wish to use for the sort order. Press COMMAND-J, click on the top checkbox to always view in List (or Icon) View, set other display parameters, click on the Use as Default bottom button. This will set the display for that folder and all sub-folders of that folder. This can also be done for Icon views as well.
You can change this temporarily in the View menu of the Finder by selecting the desired sort order from the Arrange By menu item.
None of the above is followed if you only use Snap to Grid.
Ok, so my post was a little long but it's hard to believe (your words) that you didn't read it more carefully (maybe because it was so long)! I wasn't complaining about list view -- I was talking about icon view. I mentioned that I keep view options window displayed (cmd-J) to set the options. I mentioned I always use snap to grid for icon views. I know how set default button works and I've tried to control the child folders with it. Yet the random sort-by-name behavior on new folders as I described it persists. That's why I described as a finder "obsession".

Thanks for the suggestion. But I'm not interested in using this.

I am unable to send emails using apple mail, but can still receive

A very odd situation this. I have a couple of POP3 accounts and an Exchange server account. All was going well until a few days ago when all my accounts stopped sending mail, but still continued to receive mail. I have removed each account and restored it but this hasn't worked, the timer is constantly spinning against the 'Sent' header. All these accounts work in their webmail version so I have to conclude the fault is with Apple Mail. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

I can't receive email in Mac Mail but I can send them

I use two email programmes on my Mac Mini - Thunderbird and Mac Mail. I can receive and send emails on Thudnerbird and I can send emails on Mac Mail but I can't receive the. Next to the mailbox is a squiggly line like a wave which I presume is the promblem but I don't know what that problem is.
I don't have this problem on my MacBook Air.
The Mac Mini is using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
Thanks

If an option exists on networksolutions to allow you to log in to your email via your web browser then access your mail via webmail then try deleting the offending message that way.

The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

The outgoing mail server is rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.

Who is your email provider? Have you set up your account manually or was it set up automatically?

I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail. However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook. Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

Can receive mail but can not send mail

With IMAP AT&T Account I can receive emails with no problem but can not send out emails. AT&T says it is a Mac Mail issue because I can send and receive with no problem on the internet.

Thanks

They (AT&T) needs to provide you with the proper Outgoing Mail Server setting.

Send email without opening mail app

Hi
So how can I send email without opening mail app.
From: Overview of requested additional functionality, Ayuba Audu
Hi Peter,
There are a couple of services available that support sending emails via REST API calls. Of course, each such service requires a WADL connector to be created, but by taking advantage of resources such as the early alpha of our
WADL Generator, along with
our documentation, one will be enabled to do this.
This way you do not need to have the Mail application available, on the machine the app is running on.
Thanks.
Hi Ayuba
I guess the comment above was mentioned for this thread. If so can you please share a simple example file here or anywhere elese?
Thanks

Basically all I'm trying to do is to build an app for multiple users in one company. Each employer (user) is stored in collection with their password and email address. To get access to man screen of the app, employee must login in login screen. Chose his
name and type the password. I want to add a button for forgotten password so in case one of the employee would forget his password he can click on the button and receive on his email his password. The email what he will get would be for example from
[email protected] with mail body : your password is 12345.
So is that what you meant I can do with WADL generator?

Cant send e mail but can receive hotmail

cant send e mail but can receive email on ipad2 from hotmail....problem with ourgoing???

Dear All,
Thought that I'd report in. My firewall is not on, so that can't be the problem.
I went into my mail settings and re-entered passwords, account info, unselected SSL, then selected it again, entered custom ports, etc., etc., and was able to get mail to send, but no information seems to be stored and there doesn't seem to be any way to save any changes that are made. There was always a box that came up and asked if you wanted to save changes, but I can't find it now. If you shut mail down and start it up again, the same old problem occurs.
I also have two smtp servers and it seems that if one is working, the other doesn't. If outbound.att.net is working and shows green, then smtp.att.yahoo.com is red. If smtp.att.yahoo.com is green, then outbound.att.net is red. Occasionally they will both be green, but neither one sends any mail. Strange!
Also, Connection Doctor shows a red light for no connection when my mail just swooshed out of the mailbox! It really is working, but Connection Doctor doesn't show a connection. And, when the light is green and a connection is made, the mail still doesn't leave the box.
It still takes a long time to send anything, but I was able to send about five test messages tonight. I'm still waiting for a fix from Apple.

Did you check the outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Is there a way to send email without opening Mail.app?

Hello,
I would like to be able to send email using either an Applescript or a shell script that would send email without opening Mail.app. The ideal solution would be using an account and settings (such SSL encryption of my password) that are stored in mail.app. However, if that is not possible, I could set up another email account to be used just for the purpose I have in mind so I don't have to worry about my password being exposed in clear text.
I've seen Applescripts that open Mail.app and then hide it in the background but the key requirement for my particular need is that Mail.app never open during the send process. I synchronize my email between my iMac and my Powerbook using Chronosync so it is critical that none of the files that store or index the actual mail in Mail.app be opened so as not to alter their modification dates.
Thank you,
James

If you upgrade to 10.4 there is a widget that will let you compose and send mail without opening Mail.
Here's two other options.
1. Does your isp have a web based email?
2. Download a program like thunderbird for email. When you configure it end phony information for incoming mail and only fill in the correct infor for outgoing mail.
