Trouble using contacts with mail

Does anyone know how to select multiple contacts to address a message in Apple Mail? I understand how to use the "+" sign to bring up contacts, but I can only select one email address and then the contact window closes. Very frustrating trying to select multiple email addresses. . .

Add the Address icon to the toolbar of the new message window.
Open new message window
Customise the toolbar
Drag the Address icon to the toolbar (an any other items you see that you want)
Done
Now click on the Address icon in the toolbar
Select the multiple receipents by holding the Command button
Click on To: or Cc: or Bcc: and all those receipients are added to the email fields.

McAfee SiteAdvisor is no longer working with my Safari 8.0. I never had trouble using it with Safari before this latest version. Has anyone else had this problem?

Trouble sending attachments with Mail 7.0

I just upgraded to Mavericks and I just started using Mail 7.0 to manage my email (switching from Outlook 2011 for Mac). I'm using an early 2008 Mac Pro. I'm having trouble sending emails with attachments through Mail 7.0. Any attachment regardless of file type or size doesn't go through on the first try. I compose my email, hit send and then after sitting in the outbox for a minute or two I get this error message...
I then click on "Try With Selected Server" and sometimes it will send after that and sometimes it won't. File size doesn't seem to matter. I switch back to Outlook and all attachments send just fine. Outlook has its own bugs (that's why I'm trying to switch to Mail) so I'm trying to make Mail my email app.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any more info. NOTE: I'm not an IT person so please try to dumb down your answers to a first grade level.

I am also having the exact same issue only with exchange emails that have attachments... funny thing is the problem only persistis on my MacBook not on my Imac. Both running Mavericks, set up identically and both totally up to date. I will on occacsion get the can't send mail error on the imac but after I click try again it goes through... on the MacBook I'm not so lucky and end up having to email people dropbox links to every darn file I want to send from my laptop. Talk about a pain in the butt. Apple please address and fix.
btw the unchecking auto discovery trick didn't make any difference for me
thanks for bringin this up

1. You need an external DVD drive.
2. There are no Mac OS X applications or other software in the iTunes App Store.

Problem using Hotmail with Mail

I recently installed leopard and configured a hotmail account to use with mail, but the problem is that every time I open Mail, it downloads all the emails from the account, and even if I delete them or mark them as read, the next time I open mail, they'll show up again, and it's very annoying. Any solution other than deleting all the emails on the hotmail account??
Thanks

P.S. I just noticed another issue here: everytime I receive a message in my hotmail account, it shows up twice in Mail. The first problem is more important, but this one's annoying too..Any clue?

Having trouble transferring contacts with VZ Transfer App? Come in here!

IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ THE ISSUE I HAD, SKIP DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO SYNC CONTACTS WITHOUT THE VZ TRANSFER APP.
So I think I had the most possible trouble you could have trying to get my contacts from my old flip phone to my iPhone. I followed the steps to get my contacts onto the web at http://www.verizonwireless.com/backupassistant from my old phone by running backup assistant on there and having that back it up to the website.
All was fine on that end, and I could view my contacts online no problem.
The issue was with the app. After I turned off Wifi, it went through and verified my phone number, then said it was sending SMS with my access code.
The problem was ... I never ever received that text message.
I tried reinstalling the app, turning wifi on/off again, pressing the resend code button probably 75+ times ... no code.
I then called into Verizon, talked to tier1 help who couldn't help out so they transferred me to tier2 help, and they also had no clue what was the problem. They basically said since they didn't know, and my texting was working fine, that it had to be an app problem, and that Apple developed the app, so it was basically their problem.
But he then told me that you can sync your contacts to your google email account. Since I already had a google email account, I gave this a try, and it worked like a charm.
So here are the steps below that I followed and this worked so much easier than dealing with all of the issues I was having.
HOW TO SYNC CONTACTS WITH GOOGLE EMAIL ACCOUNT.
** NOTE - A GOOGLE / GMAIL EMAIL ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TO WORK
1. First run backup assistant on your old phone and verify that the contacts actually were back'ed up to the website by going to http://www.verizonwireless.com/backupassistant.
2. Once you can see your contacts at that webpage, click the SELECT ALL button.
3. Under the ACTIONS combo box, select the Export option.
4. When asked which format to save it in, select the OUTLOOKoption, and it will save a .csv file to your PC somewhere.
5. Once this is done, follow the instructions at the link below
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
If you do not have a gmail or google account yet, you must create one for this process to work.
6. Now look at your contact on your iPhone, you should see all of them in the list.
I hope this helps out some people because it took me over a day to get my contacts transferred to my new phone and I know what the headache is like.

This user tip should be helpful. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

Can I use Hotmail with Mail?

The title pretty much says it all, and if I can use Hotmail with it, how do I set up mail to do so? Thanks in advance.
Daniel

How long have you had this Hotmail account?
Since I've never had a Hotmail account and never will, I'm not sure but I believe when Microslop made the subscription change which restricted accessing a free Hotmail account with any email client such as the Mail.app, existing free Hotmail accounts at the time the change was made were not affected.
If your Hotmail account was recently created, you must have a paid Hotmail account in order to access it with any email client.
Why bother with Microslop anyway?
You can get a free Gmail account, enable POP forwarding via the Gmail account preferences with webmail access which provides for accessing a Gmail account as a POP type account with the Mail.app.

Can you use Exchange with Mail.app?

Hello,
I have attempted to search for this answer but have not found anything that really helped me. Can someone guide me to an url or resource to see if using Exchange on a Mack with Mail is possible?
Thanks so much!

Hi all;
For MS Exchange on Mac, you need to run IMAP4 on MS Exchange server to allow Mac users connect and download emails locally using Mail.app (copy from emails remain on server like Outlook).
For that do the following:
1. Enable IMAP4 service:
a. From Services (Local).
b. Microsoft Exchange IPAM4.
c. Change it to Automatic.
d. Start the service.
2. Enable IMAP4 in MS Exchange system:
a. Exchange System Manager.
b. First Organization.
c. Servers.
d. 'Server name'.
e. Protocols.
f. IMAP4.
g. Default IMAP4 Virtual Server.
h. Right click and Start.
3. Restart MS Exchange server.
On Mac client (Mail.app):
1. Add new account.
2. Email Address: [email protected]
3. Password: user's password.
4. Account Type: Exchange.
5. Incoming Mail Server: "MS Exchange server" IP or Full DNS name (i.e. Server.test.com).
6. User Name: [email protected]
7. Password: user's password.
8. Outlook Web Access Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
9. Outgoing Mail Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
10. Check "Use Authentication" and fill User and Password fields.
11. Check "Take Account Online" .
Note: Mac users have to join the windows domain

Hello. I am having trouble using Mobileme with microsoft oulook 2010. .The error Mobileme has stopped working . Can anybody help. ??Thanks

Hello
I am having trouble using Microsoft Outlook 2010. When starting Microsoft Outlook displays the error message Mobileme has stopped working. Can anybody help.
Thanks

Well yes, of course you are having trouble using MobileMe because MobileMe no longer exists and has not existed for the last 2 years at least.
MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud, so you will never be able to use MobileMe because it does not exist.
Also, I would suggest that you look more closely before you post, because you have posted this in an iPhone forum and this question has nothing to do with iPhones. You would get more help if you posted in the correct forum.

Trouble signing in with Mail

I've just setup a new OS X server (10.5.6). The only two services I have running are mail and web. The web services seem to be running well. However, mail is giving me problems. Specifically:
If I send mail to a user of my machine (me) from gmail, for example, my mail server accepts it and creates a database entry for it. However, when I attempt to sign-in to IMAP or POP with mail, I can't access the message. Connection Doctor (in Mail) says that "Connection and login to server successful." But the Activity window (in Mail) shows a list of actions with barber poles and big red stop signs beside each action. These have been there for an hour or more.
The POP mailaccess.log shows that my user account has logged in, but I don't have anything in Mail.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
John

Using yahoo with mail application

Hi, I just got a Macbook Pro for Christmas, and can't access my regular yahoo email account with the mail program in the dashboard. I did get my hotmail account to work, why won't yahoo work unless you have the paid version? Is it just the POP version, or does it work with IMAP or the other options? I really don't know what those mean, but I would really like to be able to get my yahoo email from the dashboard!

You'll have to take up the issue of why Yahoo does not work with Mail unless it is the paid for version with Yahoo. It is their product and they made a business decision several years ago that they want payment for this type of access.
See Yahoo's site for details. http://overview.mail.yahoo.com/enhancements/mailplus

How to email multiple contacts with mail in yosemite (holding down the shift key no longer works)?

Does anyone know if it is possible to select multiple contact email addresses simultaneously from the contact list in Yosemite in a similar fashion to what we used to do (hold down the shift key)? I have tried all the key combinations I can think of and none of them work. The "smart" address is a pain to use (to me at least) and I would have to make so many groups up to do what I use to do with just a few key strokes that I am really frustrated. Thanks for any help.

Electron Mover,
You can still open the stand alone Contacts App located in your applications folder and then drag and drop your contacts into the "To" field and it will add them. Also As you said.
If you want to select multiple people in the Contacts App, you can ( Command ) ( Click ) them and then drag and drop them into the "To" field.
You can also place all the contacts into a group in the Contacts App. Then either drag and drop the group name from The Contacts App to the "To" field in Mail or you can start to type out the group name in the "To" field in Mail and from the pop down list select the group name and it will add all the contacts from that group.
If you are willing I encourage you to send them feedback here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html or https://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html they won't respond but at least they will know your opinion.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Using .mac with mail.app and iphone...problems with mailbox folders i think

Is it normal in mail.app for my folders to be as follows: Under the heading Mailboxes, I have Inbox folder and Sent folder and trash folder. Then, instead of a junk folder under that, it is below all of that under the heading Chris's Email (obviously my account). Why is this?

Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP with the Mail.app and if so, are you able to send messages with your ISP's email account?
Most if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 which is the default port for SMTP servers.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restructions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
First thing to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below the the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, you need to contact your ISP. If you are accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet with the Mail.app, in the interim select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

Occasional trouble sending emails with Mail

When I try to send emails through Mail, about 1 in 5 messages seems to have trouble sending. What happens is, I click send, the sending icon has a little activity sign for way longer than it takes to normally send an email, and ultimately a few minutes later I get this error message:
"Cannot send message using the server
smtpout:secureserver.net:(myid@mydomainname).com
The connection to the server “smtpout.secureserver.net” on port 80 timed out.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending from: me <(myid@mydomainname).com>"
Normally I then click "edit message" and then try sending, and it usually goes through fine. This started about a year ago, and I have just been dealing with it, but now I'm realizing that the problem may result in multiple versions of the same email being sent, so I'd like to get it solved!
It seems to happen with yahoo and comcast, etc., emails on the receiving end.

this always happens on my desktop iMac (the usual computer I use), which is connected to the internet via my Airport/ wirelessly. My ISP hasn't changed, and I haven't heard from them about any issues... and I don't seem to have trouble connecting to the internet otherwise - it's just when sending through Mail, and just with certain addresses (as far as I can tell).
For example, occasionally I'll send an email through my webmail (same email address, same ISP, same computer, but via the webmail site on my internet browser), and I've never had trouble with the outgoing mail there. If I use my husband's Windows-based laptops or PC (on the same ISP, same cable modem, connected either wirelessly or wired) and do webmail, no problem there either
This leads me to believe that it's the way that Mail is trying to send, trying to connect to the outgoing server or something? Especially because the message apparently IS sending - maybe Mail is just not getting confirmation back from the recipient's server? I can't rely on the message having gone through, but it seems most recipients are ultimately receiving the message twice - when it comes back to me with an error, and again when I successfully send.
Can I try reconfiguring my outgoing message Mail settings? I don't know what other settings to try...
