Turn off suggestions in mail?

Why does the "suggestions" function in mail force-override what I want to type? I wanted to write "walk today" as an event title and mail removes the word today. Why can't I have "today" in an event title? My only other option is to make it an all-day event, which isn't what I want, either. I looked through the systems preferences for any way to turn off suggestions in general or specifically in mail, but I can't find it. Is it in an "advanced" popup somewhere?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Eric, but sadly--it wasn't. Everything else is, but not text replacement.
But you know what I only now realized--my original complaint was with Calendar, not Mail. I cannot explain why I submitted this question against Mail, except maybe because they seem to get lumped together. I don't see anything in the Calendar menu about substitutions.
I don't suppose there's any way to delete this post, but I'll go submit this question against Calendar. Thanks for your help, Eric, you showed me something I hadn't noticed, but sorry to waste your time.

Turn off suggestions

How do you turn off suggestions when entering new events in the Calendar? I try to enter dates for ball games and it enters duplicate events when I'm trying to create a "new" game with a different location and time. I don't like that it's trying to predict what I'm going to enter. Is there a way to turn this feature off? It's rather aggravating when I have to enter the same event 3 times. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!!

Can't turn off computer because mail won't quit

Can't turn off computer because mail interupts shut down. I can force quit, but nothing happens. literally.

I'm also using Apple Mail with a POP account and Exchange as well.
One easy thing to try first is to Rebuild the Mail boxes, choose each Inbox in sequence and go to the Mailbox Menu > Reubild
Do this for the POP account Mailbox and the Exchange in that order. Try quitting Apple Mail and see what happens.
Reading this also led me to do a Google Search on Apple Mail hang on quit. Which led me to this message in the Discussion Group:
From Member: BDAqua
First I'd backup your whole Mail folder. Try trashing this file first, then logout/in... /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist If that doesn't work try the .plists in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
So what you want to do to first backup your email is this:
http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_back_and_restore_mail_lion
Follow the steps 1 & 2 to create backups of the mail boxes.
Then go to the Desktop > Go Menu > (hold down Option Key) choose Library > Preferences > (look for com.apple.mail.plist) drag it to the trash
Logout of your Mac, Log back in. Start Mail see if it hangs on quit
If that fails o to the Desktop > Go Menu > (hold down Option Key) choose Library > Mail > MailData > (there are .plists in here to that could be causing issues). *WARNING: Make sure to have all your account settings written down in advance of trashing these .plists. You want everything written down in case you have type it ALL in again once these .plists are eliminated.

How do you turn off Verizon voice mail?

I have an answering machine, I would like to turn off Verizon voice mail so that all unanswered calls go directly to my answering machine. The tech that installed my service said it was possible, but the directions he gave me led to a dead end. Does anyone know how to turn off Verizon voice mail? Is there a way to do this on-line or via the telephone (without having to contact a representative)?

Since the Verizon Voicemail will answer calls to you number when you are using your phone, a second incoming call to your number while your own answering machine is taking a message WILL BE forwarded the the Verizon Voicemail system --possibly giving you recorded messages in 2 places. Note that each increase in the ring count will add 6 seconds to the amount of time it takes to forward the call to the Verizon Voicemail system.
If you really don't what the Verizon Voicemail system which can handle multiple calls simultanteously (something you own answering machine cannot do), your only option is to phone Verizon's business office and request that they remove the Verizon Voicemail service from your line.

It's well hidden. Took me a few minutes to find it, even though I remember turning it off.

Turn off suggestions in calendar

I tried to create an event called "Walk today" and the automated suggestions won't let me use the word today. It lets me say "this am" without suggesting anything, so apparently it's smart enough to think "today" is unnecessary, but not smart enough to also disallow "this am".
I erroneously posted this complaint against mail, not calendar. I long ago turned off text replacement in mail, I hope there's some way to do the same in calendar, but I can't find it. If you know where it is, I would really appreciate your telling me. Next step is to offer apple my feedback.
Thanks.

I erred. I'm using Yosemite, not Mavericks.

Turn off animations in Mail

Hi,
is there any way to turn off the animations when sending a mail in Mail?
Any help is appreciated!

Your design and animations copy the gmail style. Why should i go with apple, if i like google. Than i probably will go with android. Your os6 mail design was more asketic but perfecly balanced.
Give option to return to os6, please.
I do not need another phone looking lije iphone.
Many people like me just do not have time and will to s.it in forums like this.
But there is no one that told me he likes os7 better than os6.
Fairly.
Thanks

How can I turn off the New Mail alert on my iPod Touch?

I have an iPod Touch (version 6.1.3). The other day I was waiting for an important e-mail, so I turned on the New Mail alert. It worked fine. Now I want to turn it off, but I can't. I went into Settings and then to Sounds and changed the selection from the sound I'd selected ("Bell") to None. It says "None" but every time I get a new e-mail, it still makes the bell sound.
I also tried going into Notifications and then to New Mail Sound and setting it to "None" but that didn't change anything
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Thanks!

Try removing the mail totally from your notifications center.
I have everything turned off and the banner set to none.

Unable to turn off Suggestions and history in Safari search, Unable to turn off Suggestions and history in Safari search

Not matter what I try, including turning off "Search Engine Suggestions and Preload Top Hits", when I start to type in the Safari/Google search bar, it pulls up "Top Hits and Bookmarks and History"
Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening?

There is no way to turn off all suggestions when you type, unless you're using Private Browsing mode.
The "Search Engine Suggestions" only disables sending what you type to the selected search engine (Google, Bing, etc.). It does not prevent Safari from providing suggestions based on your browsing history and your bookmarks stored locally on disk.
To enable Private Browsing mode, tap the address view, then tap "Private" button on top of the keyboard. After enabling Private Browsing, no more suggestions will be listed from history or bookmarks, and if "Search Engine Suggestions" are off, then nothing should be listed.
