Unable to set default compose mail font in Apple Mail
So, I've gone through all the preferences and set them to the correct font (Folio STD-Light). When I compose a new message it uses Folio STD-Medium. "Medium" is not set in any of my font preferences in the Mail > Preferences pane. Where is it pulling this font from? Is it in a hidden plist file somewhere?
The only way I can get the correct font, is to set it each time in the "fonts" button each time I write an email. That gets old quickly.
Any help?
If you are trying to determine the fonts seen by your recipients, there is no way to do that using Mail > Preferences. It must be done for each outgoing individually in the New Message pane. Or you can use custom stationery.
Of course it only makes sense to select a special font for your emails when you know for sure that the recipient also has it on their machine.
If the ability to set a default font to be seen by recipients is really important, I recommend switching to Entourage or Thunderbird.

I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

sounds like a corrupt database or index
the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

Someone who receives my mail sent from Apple Mail cannot receive attachments or read my email even though they are on a Mac using Safari. How could they be using Safari to receive or read my mail?
You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. This person receiving my email, while on a Mac with Safari is reading their mail through Safari using Horde--our recent discovery. Why they chose to do that in unclear. The last email we sent, however, was miraculously read and received and the attachment was viewed with no problem after we told them our mail was coming from a Mac thriugh Apple Mail. It seems that telling them that our emails were coming from a Mac and using Apple Mail was enough to make them think that perhaps THEY were doing something not quite right. Thank you both, Level 7 and Level 5.
But thank you especially for the meteorologists in the UK for putting forth the correct routes for Sandy these last days, you probably saved a lot of lives. -

Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Install) unable to set Default Mail Client
After installing Office 2013 via Office 365 for Business, the installation is unable to set Outlook as the default mail client. Message appears after each system reboot:
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
When going into Control Panel and manually set the Outlook client as the default, the setting does not take. After a reboot, the warning message reappears.
Anyone else having the same issue?MJ
No but then again it is a Beta. Did you clean install or update? 9926 seems to be relatively stable.

How to set default color and font?
Where do I set a default font and color for my outgoing mail? I looked in the preferences but when you change it there, it changes it for all emails, incoming and out going. Isn't there a way to have different fonts for the outgoing than for the incoming??
thanks for your time,
MichelleI'm glad that other people have had this problem too. I've spent hours on the web trying to find how to select the default composing font colour. I find it incredible that with all the options available in Mail and other mail applications that Apple haven't included this most basic of requirements. It would be lovely if someone from Apple would let us know why this has been left out and if they are going to put it in VERY soon, perhaps as a software update? Mac's still rule though :o)

Unable to set default program for .pdf
CURRENT PROBLEM:
As show in print screen, when i attempt to set default program nth happens at all. The only way i can open any .pdf file now is by 1st opening adobe reader 9 and select the .pdf file manually
INITIAL STAGE OF PROBLEM:
Problem started after upgrading to windows 7 from vista. Windows 7 is able to recognise adobe reader 8 as a valid default program since it is in windows.old. Thus the default for .pdf is adobe reader 8 (it was installed in vista).
Subsequently, installing adobe reader 9 isof no use as it will be ignored and windows 7 will only continue to use adobe reader 8 as the default reader when i try to open a .pdf file, unless if i manually opened adobe reader 9 and selected a .pdf file manaually
However, I am unable to uninstall adobe reader 8 as the "program and feature" can only identify adobe reader 9 and does not think that adobe reader 8 exists.
ATTEMPTs TO SOLVE:
Thus, I removed windows.old by using the disk cleanup. However, I am still unable to set adobe reader 9 as the default reader. Instead, .pdf are no longer accessible/"open-able" unless I 1st opened adobe reader 9 and then selected a .pdf manaually.
I've attempted reinstalling and restarting comps etc, they dun seem to help. I suspect the OS is now only able to recognise adobe reader 8 from windows.old as a valid program directory due to some registry issues since it was initally set as the default when i 1st upgraded the OS. Now that adobe reader 8 is removed, there might be some corrupted registry somewhere that needs to be set right again?
Really need help with this. Thanks a million.Thanks guys for showing interest in helping.
As you guys can see, there's no adobe reader when u expand. Also, I already browsed the reader just in case too. Thus expanding doesnt help. =(

How do I get a drop-down menu to choose SMTP when composing an email in Apple Mail?
Apple Mail used to have a drop-down menu in the Composing Mail window to select the SMTP server to use. It is no longer there, in Yosemite (10.10.1). How do I get that back?
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That's exactly what DW offers validation behaviors or Spry Validation for. Select the form element(s) required to validate, apply the behavior, set the options in the dialog. Done.
