Trouble using .mac mail alias's with Panther Mail

I am using Mac Mail 1.3.11 (Panther) here and have a .mac account. When I compose mail, the Account field in the header only allows me to select my main .mac account name. This seems to defeat the purpose of alias's - if I have to send mail from my root account name. The only workaround I found is to create a seperate mail account for the alias. But then of course if I only check the alias, I miss mail to my root account name. And if I check both, my Inbox contains double of nearly everything.
Any suggestions? Or do I have to shell out the $$ to buy Tiger for this computer too, just to enable alias's?
Thanks

forget it

2 MACs - Can I use .mac to sync POP emails from MAIL when traveling

I use Yahoo Business (POP) email with the MAC MAIL software. I use a PowerBook G4 at home and just got a new iBook G4 for travel. I want to set up the travel computer and MAIL to receive and send mail while on the road. 2 Questions:
1) In a perfect world: I want to sync the emails (both sent and received) I worked with on the road with my home computer so I don't have to re-do the work I just did on the road. Can I use .mac to sync my mailbox folders before downloading the messages at home or will this corrupt the library file and make me rebuild my folders every time? I know I can set up the MAIL account to leave the received message on the server for my home computer to download, but this causes a lot more work!
2) If (1) is not possible, how can I capture the files I sent on the road to my home computer SENT folder? I save all sent messages at home.

Via the .Mac website, you can have .Mac check the POP account's incoming mail server to download received messages from the POP account to your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox.
In the interim, send a change of email address to all contacts providing your .Mac email address and start sending messages with your .Mac account.
When creating a .Mac account in Mail - Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages are stored on the server by default along with received messages. If you want to keep all these mailboxes/messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, make sure these settings for the account are the same with Mail on both Macs.

Trouble using facetime on another device with same apple id

Hi
I am having trouble using facetime with my wife. I have an iPad 2 and she has an IPhone 4S. When we try to facetime, we are able to connect for a few seconds and then it drops off. We are then unable to reconnect. We both have the same apple Id and e-mail address although I am trying to contact her via her mobile number. Any suggestions would be grateful received.

Get an email address (free gmail.com) to use on the iPad.

Workaround to adding two e-mail alias accounts with same username.

I have two e-mail addresses (aliases) (for example [email protected] and [email protected]) running under one (same) username "jimmy" and the same password on the same mail server (basically one e-mail account with two e-mail address aliases). I wanted to have both added to my iPad running iOS 5. I added the first without a problem, but when I tried to add the second one, the iPad complained that an account with the username "jimmy" already exists and gave me a prompt window with two options, "Cancel" and "Edit". Cancel was supposed to cancel the whole e-mail account creating procedure and take me back to Settings/Mail, and "Edit" was supposed to take me back to editing this e-mail account so I could change it (select another username). It turned out that both "Cancel" and "Edit" threw me out of the editing procedure and put me back into Settings/Mail. Seems like a bug.
I managed to use a workaround to add my second e-mail address account (alias) to the iPad 2 with the same account username. I started creating the second account and filled in all the information but I intentionally mystyped the username as "jimmo". Now when I tapped "Done" the iPad wanted to verify the account (as normal) but soon warned me that either the username or password were incorrect and that the account may not work correctly, but it did allow me to add it. I then went in and edited this second account and changed it's incoming mail server username to "jimmy".
Now I have both e-mail addresses (aliases) using one account correctly set-up. Just thought I'd write this in case anyone would encounter the same problem/bug.

EDIT: When using Mail application to check e-mails I am getting sporadic "Cannot Get Mail: The user name or password for "<name_of_account> is incorrect." The password is correct and it works when I retry. If I disable one of the accounts in the Settings/Mail (set to Inactive) then the other one (using the same password on the same server) works without hiccups. They definitely have to work on this bug and fix it.

Trouble using Safari on start-up with pop-up error

Hi,
I'm having trouble using Safari. Every time I open up the application, a small screen popped up saying "Error- Failed to load the FastBrowserSearchPlugin plugin.* -[BrowserWindowController currentWebView]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7aa570". What can I do to get rid of this issue. I am assuming it has something to do with the Fast Browser Search engine located on the top right of the safari app. Help me please! Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
You need to uninstall that plugin.
Go here for instructions on how to remove it.

I think you'll find it in: ~/Library/Internet Plugin-ins

Using mac mini in line with a PC

I was thinking of buying a mini Mac for my 83 yo mother who currently uses a PC. Knowing that she likely would not like to just get rid of her PC for an OS she's totally unfamiliar with, I thought I might get her a Mini Mac. However, space in her home is limited so I was trying to learn if there was a way that the Mini Mac could be used in a "shared" fashion with her existing PC. In other words, someway to use it without having to physically transferring her keyboard, mouse and monitor connections each time she were to use one or the other system.
Thanks

What you're looking for is a "kvm switch." This thing let's you share a keyboard, mouse and monitor between 2 systems. I'd checkout some site like newegg to see what people are buying to get an idea of what features to look for.
Does your mom's pc use a "ps/2" connection (round plug) for either the mouse or keyboard? If it does you might want to get a kvm that has "ps/2" connections.
If both the keyboard and mouse use usb plugs then I'd get a kvm with usb connections.
I'm doing the same thing and I got a usb kvm with vga for video. I'll need to get a "mini-dvi to vga" adapter for the mac mini though. The adapter that comes with the mac mini doesn't work with a "vga to dvi" adapter. I also should have picked a kvm with audio support so I can share the speakers too.
You can save yourself the cost of the adapter by connecting the pc to the vga port and connect the mac to the dvi port on the monitor, but that means having to press another button on the monitor to switch input modes =P

Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0

I think it's great that Apple Mail 5.0 now has IMAP functionality with Yahoo Mail but I have one query that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
If I send mail with Yahoo Mail, using Apple Mail, it creates a new sent messages folder where my messages are put after being sent. What I would like to do however, is use the Sent folder, which Yahoo uses by defaul when using the web interface.
Is there any way to get Apple Mail 5.0 to do this?
Any help/ideas/suggestions

I just did that for the "sent" folder that was showing up under the list of Yahoo folders. It seems as if all email sent from my phone were going into that folder. Once I did that, the folder popped up under the Sent with the paper airplane icon.
However, then it moved all of the ones that HAD been in the sent folder with the paper airplane (sent locally on the Mac) to a "Sent Messages (Yahoo!)" folder under "On My Mac".
I'm assuming the paper airplane section is IMAP. But now I still have sent items in 2 places:
Sent (paper airplane)>Yahoo
On My Mac>Sent Messages (Yahoo!)
How do I resolve this so that ALL Yahoo email (whether sent from my iPhone or locally on the Mac--or even the web interface) goes to the same sent folder?

Snow Leopard Mail not sync with iPhone Mail (iCloud)?

Hello all,
Just like to query and confirm:
This is my sister's Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, and her iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 on iCloud, she has activated iCloud on her iPhone, using the same Apple ID
She has told me her desktop Mac mini's mail doesn't seem to sync with the mail on her iPhone, but it was, about 3 weeks ago
I know both are different, her Snow Leopard would be running MobileMe and her iPhone would be running iCloud, even though both are using the same Apple ID.
Is the Mail part regardless of whether on MobileMe or iCloud, they would sync, or will not?
I guess the only thing to do now is to update her Mac mini to Lion as soon as possible.
Thanks and cheers.

Yes, you need to upgrade to Lion in order to use iCloud. MobileMe and iCloud are separate email services.

OS X 10.10.1 Apple Mail reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers

Apple Mail(8.1) reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers on my iMac and Laptop Pro with the new Yosemite update! Spent 1.5hrs with the virgin team (thought we solved it by changing from Auto to one minute update) only to find on return I still have an issue with Mail! On the iMac the account opens and I see all the mail arriving. When I switch over and the back, days of recent mail have disappeared?
If I search for one I saw, It is found?
On the Laptop Pro, its similar, but it also has a problem remembering the outgoing port no matter how often I save it keeps going back to port 143 and this makes the send fail each time?
Will I have to move to another mail client or is their a fix coming?

The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3 & there won't be any updates/upgrades.
You might try the freeware mail app Thunderbird. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ It's newer than Mail for Tiger.

Solution to yahoo mail setup issues with Apple mail...

There have to be a lot of people out there who have a similar setup as me --- ISP is Verizon (FIOS), and am using an iMac w/OS X, v 10.7.4, and Apple Mail v 5.2. No matter what I did, I could not get Apple mail to connect to Yahoo's smtp server... (Gmail was not working either) I spent hours on this. FINALLY -- I discovered the problem. My FIOS router/firewall was on the maximum security setting, which only allows outgoing smtp mail to port 25! Once I changed that firewall setting (which allows outgoing smtp mail to port numbers other than 25), I was finally able to connect to yahoo's smtp server! Now my Apple mail works just fine. Here are the settings I used:
Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming port: 995
Outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing port: Used "custom port" set to 465
SSL is used for both incoming and outgoing servers, with password as the authentication method.
Full email address is used wherever it says "user name" in mail preferences
* This is with Yahoo Plus mail. And before you do anything with Apple mail, you have to make sure that you enable "POP" mail in your Yahoo Plus account, under mail - settings.
I hope this saves some people the hours of time that it cost me!!

I have managed to get incoming mail to work. It is the outgoing settings that are still not working on my system. I have tried every configuration. I have gone back and forth between Verizon and Apple Care too many times to count.
Do you have to turn down the security level on the FIOS router/firewall before making these changes? If you do, it probably makes the system more vulnerable to malware, etc.
I have standard Yahoo Verizon mail. I believe you can enable it for POP mail. It certainly always worked for me before. Like you I have tried everything. I was also told that my internet connection is PPPoE versus DHCP which may also cause problems. Like you, I have spent days trying to sort this out.

Gmail smtp (outgoing) mail not working with apple mail 5

Hi,
I have a numbe of gmail accounts, I can receive mail through the new apple mail 5 client but can't send any at all.
I've tried everything gmail help suggests but to no avail...
Cheers,

Have you use the correct outgoing server - smtp.mail.me.com and SSL is required. I would suggest removing the account and starting again, following the instructions applicable to Leopard in this page:

How to use .mac/.me alias w/ iPhone mail?

My primary mail client is Apple Mail, and I have a .mac/.me address with several aliases. On my desktop it is easy to choose which alias I wish to appear in the "sent" field. I can not find out how to do this, however, when sending mail from my iPhone. Instead, the sent field always shows the primary "parent" email address. Can this be changed? Thank you.

First and foremost, everything will work better if you can make a direct video connection from the mini to the display device. That's the smoothest path to a solution and what most people do to avoid the type of problem your setup is experiencing.
Another option, if you really want to pass the video through the receiver, is to use a product like Gefen's DVI Detective to trick the mini into thinking it has a continuous connection to the display, even though it is being interrupted by a switch in the receiver.
I'm pretty sure there is no terminal command to invoke "Detect Displays" but a clever fellow figured out a way to script the GUI command and assign it to a button on the keyboard, so you could try that and see if it works for you. Below is a link. You'll want to ignore the first part and skip straight to where the script is mentioned.
http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17214&highlight=
Maybe you could turn the script into a chron job. But doesn't the TV's input have to be tied to the mini's output through the receiver in order for the Detect Displays command to have the desired effect? If that is the case, I don't see how the chron job would help if the TV were set to receive input from another box through the receiver.
I'm not sure about Front Row death, but it could be related to the mini losing track of the display owing to the switching that is going on. Maybe avoiding the switch will cure the Front Row problem. Good luck.

Having trouble using a Samsung LCD HDTV with my new mac mini...help?!

I have a brand new mac mini running snow leopard. I am trying to use a samsung HDTV (1080i). I've got the display connected and it is working but the font on the windows is not very crisp at all...it is actually hard to read. I've adjusted the resolution in my settings to all the different options. When I use the 720p option the font gets a little better but the windows are HUGE, when I use 1080i the windows shrink to the correct size but the font gets worse. Anyone have any ideas?

Be sure to designate the HDMI input on the Samsung TV as a 'computer' source. This seems to help how it presents the image on the TV. The other thing to adjust is the font smoothing settings, via System Preferences > Appearance.

Does anyone know how to use a self signed certificate with apple mail??

Ive read about it in mail's help and tried to set it up according to it. Ive created a self-signed certificate but have no idea how to set it up as it would work with Mail so that i would be able to send signed messages. could anyone help me??

Hello rado:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I am assuming this is what you read:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8916.html
If you follow the instructions when you set up the certificate, you should be fine.
Incidentally, most +"ordinary users"+ (like me) do not use this function. I am curious as to why you want to jump through hoops in your Mail application.
