Trouble with my mailaccounts in mail 1.3.11

hello,
i have some troubles with mail 1.3.11 (running under mac os x 10.3.9). i have 5 different mail acconuts in mail. one of them should be the standard account and the the rest alternatives accounts. But if i write e new email, is preset the wrong account, and then i must use the dropdown menue in mailwindow to select right one. before i send. okay, i understand that these problem is not so important for so most of people. In the mail version of mac os x 10.4 tiger, is this possible to select and set one account as standard account, in the preferences.
But for me (i send many emails, most business-mails) this is bothering, circuitous, cost my time, and sometimes i forget to choose the right account before i send the email. The last season is sometimes big problem, then the emails reached not the person or user. A lot of people use a proxy server with firewall, and the firewall blocked my email, or my email arrive the mailclient, and the mailclient select my email as junkmail, and then they would be moved automaticly in the junkfolder. And one day later, tell my friend or businesspartner: "i never got mail from you yesterday, are you sure that you send the email on my right adress".
Perhaps gives a specially setting in a system file from mail. With the right mouseclick on mail, can i over the contextmenue show into the program, and perhaps there is a file, where i can edit so, that i one from these 5 is the standard and the rest are alternative.
Know someone this problem ?, or someone can help me. I used google.de and .com, i posted in other mac forums, but i get always an answer.

In the mail version of mac os x 10.4 tiger,
is this possible to select and set one account
as standard account, in the preferences.
Yes. As explained in Mail 2.0 Help: Setting the account your email is sent from, you can choose any one of your accounts as the default, or the account of the last viewed mailbox. So, if you have 5 accounts, you will have 6 choices in the "Send new mail from" pop-up menu in the "Composing" preference section.

  • Where can I find the SSL function on the iPad mail - having trouble with AOL sending e-mail out

    Where can I find the SSl function on the iPad mail - I am having trouble sending out e-mails on my AOL account on the iPad - no trouble with the MacBook Pro?

    Under the line where it has the SSL button, is Authintication set to password?  and the line below that, is there a server port number?  A typical outgoing server port number is 25.

  • I am having trouble with our Comcast e-mails. Going thtough the internet oprion they are fine, but not through your website.

    When using your website to access Comcast and our e-mails the e-mails are disorganized and words above them are out of line. If I access Comcast through internet explorer the inbox and e-mails are normal. I have re-booted the computer countless times and reset the modem to no avail. It appears that the issue is with Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

  • Trouble with gmail account in mail/tiger-send but not receive

    Trying to remote support this retired individual.
    She has an iMac/Tiger I setup for her several years ago.
    Original setup was with Comcast as her ISP using Mail. This worked fine.
    Moved to California and her family set up an IMAP gmail account with ISP(unknown as of this writing)
    Account worked fine for the past 5 months
    On March 22nd her ability to receive email stopped. She can still send
    She has done multiple full system shutdowns and restarts
    At this writing Connection Doctor is all green
    Checked port. Was set to 25 and I changed it to 587. No joy
    Went to Keychain and ditched any reference to Comcast on the assumption Mail was pulling the wrong information
    Still no joy.
    Fixing permissions now but I am wondering what else to suggest
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Michael,
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    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.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...

  • I am having trouble with rules in mac mail. The first rule window shows but i cannot open a second filter rule!!

    Hi
    I am trying to create rules that would copy the incoming email to a cloud folder ( depending on sender ) and move the actual email from the inbox to a local folder on my laptop.
    The problem i seem to be having is the first rule ( regardless of whether it is copy or move ) shows ok but when i press the + button it does not bring up a new filter window as it used to.
    Totally confused on this one, can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Oh, latest versions of everything!!!!

    I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
    Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
    If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
    In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
    Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

  • I am having trouble with photo attachments in mail

    When i attach photos from Lightroom into my mail messages, they are embedded and do not appear as attachments.  When others receive the email, the pictures are embedded and can only be copied but cannot be used or edited like a normal attachment.  When I control click on the embedded photos in my mail message and select show as icon, I get a very small thumbnail and not the the full size phot that I want.
    When I use other email programs (Sparrow), I do not have that problem

    You correct it by leaving Bridge alone until it finishes rebuilding its cache, overnight if necessary.

  • Having trouble with WWF, internet and mail says not conected to WiFi but I am and says I don

    Says I have no WiFi connect but I do.  When I try to play WWF will let me play word but doesn't update.  Interet says Safari not conected to internet but I am.  Will not update my e-mail.  Any suggestiosn. I tried turning off IPAD but doesn't do anythig different?

    Try this....
    Reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Close all apps on your iPad in the recents tray, then reboot your iPad as well.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Im having trouble with responding on e-mail reply forward dont work

    the reply button or forward button do not work on fire fox. my drop down window under my favorites is blocked often showing a highlighted window that is blank inside.

    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
    Also, you should begin to prepare to upgrade to Firefox 11. Firefox 3.6 will be dropped from support in a few weeks, which means it will no longer be receiving security or stability updates. Firefox 11 is up to 7 times faster than 3.6, has lots of new features and improvements, as well as support for new web standards.

  • Having troubles with work files I mailed home...

    Hello,
    Twice I mailed myself a couple of files to work on at home and twice I was given errors. The first time, I mailed a lightwave model and a Lightwave Scene home, and both were corrupted. When I tried to open them in Lightwave, they tell me there was an error reading the file.
    I thought maybe something got garbled in the transition, so I zipped the folder and sent it home that way. I now get an error when trying to unzip the file - 'Error-1, Operation not permitted' is what I get.
    As far as I can tell, it's not a permissions problem. I downloaded stiffut expander, and it won't help either.
    I'm running 10.4.8 on both machines and have never had this problem before. I recently wiped and reinstalled my work machine, but I still have everything up to date.
    The work machine is DC 2.3 and home is below... and FWIW, I have rechecked the files at work and they are just fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.
    -Vincent

    Vincent, I am not sure that this is the answer you want, but I have found that some programs will create an obscure format that many mail services can not read. and they will simply change the format before they forward it on because they do not recognise the file type or the format in which it was created.
    I have one paricular program that falls in this category.
    It will automaticly convert this file to a data file, and of course it is not a data file at all but an image file that has one of these obscure formats I mentioned above.
    The only way I have found a work around is to use a web based e-mail account and retrieve the file from there server rather then your e-mail program.
    I have and use pop server at home and use Yahoo mail when I run into this issue, So far it has worked, you might give it a try.

  • HT1338 I have a Leopard desktop 10.5.8 and I have trouble with MAIL. My draft folder does not work and my draft messages will not delete.        delete

    I have a Leopard desktop 10.5.8 and I have trouble with my Email Apple MAIL draft folder. First of all after I typed my draft and sent to draft, the folder would not open at a later date to send. In all I have 10 messages, mainly test which I cannot delete from my Draft folder.
    My draft system is now working but I cannot get rid of the  10 messages which sit in my INBOX and DRAFT folders.
    These messages appear in Application - Mail but they will not go.
    How do I delete, or is it best to use My Disc 1# and delete all my software and replace with the Disc in order to have a new MAIL program?
    Any advice would be welcome.

  • Troubles with Frontier email account

    I am having trouble with my Frontier e-mail account on my DroidX.  I have 3 e-mail accounts on my phone; Frontier, gmail and hotmail.  I have no trouble with the gmail and hotmail accounts.  With the Frontier account, I receive only some of my emails.  When I check my computer for my emails, I find there are many that did not come through on my phone, most of them are from people in my "contacts".  Any ideas?

        Hello minimom,  Let's make sure you are consistently getting your emails!  It is possible that Frontier has changed some of their email server settings.  I would suggest completely removing the account from the phone by going to Menu>Settings>Accounts.  You can then use the same steps to re-add the account.  Please keep me posted on the status.
    Thank you,

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • In mail, I am having trouble with my cursor.  It doesn't "land" where I think I'm putting it.  It usually "lands" somewhere below where I "click" it to be.

    In Mail, I am having trouble with my cursor.  When making revisions to what I have already typed, the cursor doesn't "land" where I "click" it to be.  It seems to land somewhere below the spot I click on. It seems to have a mind of its own.

  • Trouble with e-mail

    I've noticed that I'm having trouble with my .mac/.me account in that I can't seem to send messages anymore. We haven't changed service providers or modems or routers...and it's a problem on the imac and the ibook (4 year differential in age). I've checked all my ports, etc., and I can receive mail but can't send it. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Amy, and welcome to the Discussions.
    This forum is for old, pre-G3 Apple hardware and so probably not the best place for you question. I'd suggest you ask in the MobileMe forums. You'll be more likely to get help there. When you repost, make sure to include information about what you're using to get and send your mail; the Mail application that comes with Mac OS X, a web browser, or something else (and if so, what).
    Regards.
