Simple Mail question (couldn't find Mail forum)

Sorry to ask this on iCal forum, but I saw no forums dedicated specifically for regular Mail.
This is a simple question as I am a new Mac owner: I am used to using gmail for my email, and like this primarily because, given that it is a web based email application, I can access my email from any computer, anywhere, anytime.
Given my new Mac, I am interested in switching to the Mail application and was wondering if there is any way to check my email when I am away from my home computer? I think this would work with a mobileme account, but I have not obtained one as of yet.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...

Thanks Kosmoe...
One other question...if I do indeed create a new email account and use the Mail application for it, will I be able to check messages via the internet from any computer or only from my own?
And, if I want to be able to check from any computer, then it seems like getting a mobile me account would solve the problem, right? I am assuming mobile me email can be accessed from anywhere?
Sorry to be such a Mac newbie! But so far loving the whole Mac experience!

  • ICal question (couldn't find that category)

    uh, how do I print one month of iCal, in Portrait ? With Saturday and Sunday on either side?
    Every time I print now, it comes out as landscape, which is not what my boss asked for and now my job is on the line. Portrait would be great - - in an easy way to do so.
    Also, thanks!

    You may get an answer here, but you'll have more luck at the iCal forum,
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=166
    where people who know lots about this stuff hang out. I looked, and iCal seems to print only in landscape. If I had to, I might print it as a pdf, and then import the file into another program that would print it the way I wanted-- I use GraphicConverter a lot for that sort of thing. But you'll get good advice at that iCal forum.

  • Couldn't find delivery channel when using Mail-Package

    Hi,
    I use the mail receiver adapter. If I configure the mail header data (sender, receiver, subject) in the adapter configuration everything works fine. But now I need a dynamic subject, so I thought of using "mail package". But now I get an error "Couldn't find receiver channel for message..."
    The mail package looks like this:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
      <ns1:Mail xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
      <Subject>[email protected]</Subject>
      <From>[email protected]</From>
      <To>[email protected]</To>
      <Content_Type>text/xml</Content_Type>
      <Content>This is my mail content</Content>
      </ns1:Mail>
    Has anyone an idea - thanks a lot - werner

    Hi Werner,
    some time ago I posted a weblogs
    which describes such a configuration
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address
    have a look at it
    BTW
    >>>>now I need a dynamic subject
    if you have sp14 or above then there's much
    easier method with adapter identifiers
    (then you can set the subject in message mapping )

    Hello, HenryWang2103.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted.  Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled.  You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down.  Here is some information regarding these features.  The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

  • Probably incredibly simple question, so sorry. I have just changed e-mail after many many years and I want to e-mail everyone in my mac mail client with the new e-mail address at the same time.

    If you are using Address Book, open it, create a new Group, select all you contacts by click the top one while holding down the shift key and then select the last one. Drag the contacts to the group, then send an e-mail to the group.

  • Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure, Unspecified error.

    This issue is crossposted in Microsoft Answers Word and OUTLOOK.  I am posting here in hopes that someone at Mircrosoft may have a solution or at least elevate the issue to someone who does.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/officeversion_other-word/word-could-not-send-mail-because-of-mapi-failure/f62678fe-ef1d-42b5-8cfe-1e43d6a1d609

    I dabble with VBA and write and maintain several amateur Word Add-Ins.  Accordingly, I have Word 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 installed on my PC.  They get along fine.  However, I am unable to "Share" or "Send" an open Word
    document as an E-mail attachment in any version!  In each case Word returns an error mesage "Word couldn't send mail because of a MAPI failure, Unspecified error (the same issue occurs with Excel and Powerpoint except the error dialog is a bit different.)
    Using Word 2003, I (CAN) "Send to (Mail recipient for review)" in which case OUTLOOK is opened with the document as an attachment.  I can also "Send to Mail Recipient" from Windows Explorer, in which case the Word file is attached to
    an OUTLOOK message, and I can create an instance of OUTLOOK and send mail from Word using VBA.
    I have repaired all Office versions.  I have removed the registry keys for all office versions and repaired all versions again.  I have run "fixmapi" until I am blue in the face. I have renamed the MAPI32.DLL files and ran sfc \scannow
    to ensure that the MAPI32.DLL file is not corrupt.  In view of these actions and in view of what I can do, something tells me that the MAPI files are fine.
    So what is this "Unspecified error?"  This problem is rife on the internet and most of the "canned" solutions have been marked "Answered" by some MS support engineer.  These "canned" solutions might have
    fixed the issue at one point, but they don't work now.  At least not for me.
    Thanks.

    Hello Greg,
    I noted that there are 2 knowledge articles that describe scenarios where you may encounter this error.
    KB 291152 You receive a "Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure" error message when you try to send a Word document as an e-mail attachment in Word 2002
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291152/EN-US
    KB 929362 You cannot send a file by clicking Send in a different program when Outlook 2007 is running as administrator
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929362/EN-US
    Please let me know the following:
    1. What version of Outlook are you using?
    2. Do you have Outlook open when you attempt the File > Share > Email as attachment from Word? If not, does the error occur if you open Outlook, open Word and then try to send the email?
    3. If you close/reopen Word and then try the send again, do you get the same error?
    4. Are you running either Outlook or Word in an elevated mode?
    5. What happens if you start both Outlook and Word as "Run As Administrator". You may have to right-click each applications' .exe file to be able to choose the "Run As Administrator" option.
    6. Do you get the same error when using File > Share > Email as attachment using Excel?
    7. In Internet Explorer, open the Internet Options. On the General tab within the browsing history, delete your temporary Internet files and website files
    8. Does the issue occur in selective startup mode?
    Steps to setup selective startup mode:
    Click on the Windows Start button, in the Search box type msconfig and then hit enter. This should open up the System Configuration Utility. Make the following adjustments within each tab.
    Services Tab:
      - Check the option 'Hide All Microsoft Services'
     - Click on button 'Disable All'
    Startup Tab:
     - Click the button 'Disable All'
     - Go back through the list and enable any Microsoft items
    Click Ok. It will say “You must restart your computer for some of the changes
    made by System Configuration to take effect”. Hit the ‘Restart’ button.
    When the PC reboots try to run your test again.
    To return back to a normal boot launch msconfig again and choose 'normal startup' on the general tab, click Ok and then reboot the PC.

  • Question mark over the Mail icon

    What can I do if there is a question mark over the mail icon in dock... I can't open the Mail now. Thanks!

    you can reinstall Mail using the leopard install DVD. insert the DVD and open it in finder. among other things you should see a folder called "optional installs". Open it and double-click on Optional Installs.mpkg. Follow the instructions. at the appropriate page you'll have to check the box for "Mail" on the list of software you want to install.
    This will install Mail 3.0. To update it to the latest version of mail reinstall

  • Why do I get a error saying mail was unable to find your reply. You may have deleted message.

    when sending email, I sometimes get an error stating: Mail was unable to find your reply to:  You may have deleted message. This does not happen with every sent message but it is doing it more and more. The reply is no where to be found.

    You posted in a 4 month old dead post. 
    You would do better by posting a "New Topic" in the OS/Mail forum area of which os you are using.  You will need to indicate which version os you are using as well as which version of Mail you are using in order to get the proper attention to your post.  This will help the users reading your post to suggest solutions.

  • HT204093 MAIL question

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie and am having trouble locating the MAIL function on my MAC OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I need to have it set up and couldn't find it via the search box either. Please help me locate MAIL so I can set it up. Thanks.

    Hello CuriousWebbie,
    If you cannot locate the 10.6 Mail app, you may have to reinstall it using the original installation media. I have located an article that explains the process:
    Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling applications that came with your computer
    If you delete an application that came with your computer, you can reinstall it if you need to.
    If you want to reinstall an application using the optical drive from another computer on your network, use DVD or CD Sharing. For more information on DVD or CD Sharing, see:
    Using another computer’s DVD or CD drive 
    To reinstall an iLife application (iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, iDVD, or GarageBand):
    Insert the Applications installation disc into your computer’s optical drive (or an optical drive connected to your computer) and double-click the Install Bundled Software icon.
    Note:If your computer came with an iLife installation disc or you purchased a newer version of iLife, insert that disc instead, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. In the Installation Type pane, click Customize.
    Click the disclosure triangle next to Bundled Applications, select the checkbox next to the application you want to install, and then click Install.
    To reinstall a Mac OS X application (Address Book, iCal, iChat, iTunes, Mail, or Safari):
    Insert the Mac OS X installation disc into your computer’s optical drive (or an optical drive connected to your computer), double-click the Optional Installs folder, and then double-click the Optional Installs package (looks like an open box).
    Follow the onscreen instructions. Select the disk where you want to install the application and click Continue.
    Click the disclosure triangle next to Applications, select the checkbox for the application you want to install, click Continue, and then click Install.
    After you reinstall a Mac OS X application, open Software Update (choose Apple menu > Software Update) to update the application.
    If you can’t find the application you want to install:
    Check to see if your computer came with another set of discs.
    Choose Apple menu > Mac OS X Software and search for the application.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • Why can't I hover over a persons name and see address or pick "find mail" and see all eamils from that person anymore?

    When hovering over a persons name in an email I receive it used to show the actual email address.
    When right clicking on a persons name in an email I receive it used to show a drop-down list where I could choose "find email" and all email from that person would be displayed.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Safari couldn't locate Mail

    I've been using Apple's Safari and Mail (Leopard versions) as my Internet apps.
    No problems until recently.
    For some reason Safari can't find Mail anymore when I try to send a page or link via email.
    It reports:
    Safari couldn't create an email message to send the link because it couldn't locate an email application.
    Any ideas how to link these two again?
    Thx,
    Marco

    Hi Marco:
    First I would run permission repair from your HD. Then I would run repair disk from your software install DVD.
    If that does not help, I would trash a couple of preference files and restart (then reenter your personal preferences that differ from the default):
    com.apple.safari.plist
    com.apple.mail.plist

    Can someone please Help meee

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Can not open my yahoo mail. Can't find on server but can open in all other browsers

    Yahoo mail will not open in Firefox new 4.0 or older versions.
    However, I can open in Safari and IE7.
    Have talked to several folks that are having the same problem and most are just switching to other browsers and the problem goes away. I would prefer to solve the problem rather than just giving up and switching permanently to another browser. Different computers and I have the same problem. Copying the mail address from IE7 to firefox and it still can not find the mail account. Does find other web addresses just fine. It is something to do with yahoo mail.

    if that is giving you a problem you might wanna look into
    the app called yahoo one connect
    its free and it can help with any problem you are
    getting with yahoo mail
    or at least till apple looks into your problem
