Using BT Mail With Mac

I now use a Macbook and Mac Mail which connects to my BT e mail account.  I see the e mails on my Macbook but thought that this downloaded them from my on line account.  However, when i look at the on line account i have hundreds of e mails in there that are also on my Mac.  Is there a setting i have missed that moves them onto may Mac and deletes them from the online account?  I am sure this used to happen when i used Outlook.

If you have set the email client up as an IMAP account the emails will be exactly the same as on your computer. If you delete them from the computer it will delete them from the BT server.
If you have set up the email client as a POP3 account the emails are downloaded onto your computer but there will be a setting on the email client "Leave email on server" or something similar. If that is ticked the emails stay on the BT server until you delete them. If you want you can untick that box and the emails will be deleted once you have downloaded them.

    How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail?

    Nevermind, I fixed it (I think).  I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically).  I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

  • Cannot send mail with .mac

    I can receive mail with .mac account, but not send mail. I can send and receive mail using another account. Has something changed with .mac?

    This issue is most probably related to your Internet Service Provider.
    Several Internet Service Providers are blocking the use of smtp servers (like smtp.mac.com) by their customer for secury purpose allowing only their own smtp server.
    First, you should check with your ISP if he his blocking smtp servers. If he do, just use the smtp server of your ISP. That's what I need to do from my home.

  • How I get started using voice input with mac mail?

    Just got a new Imac.  have had Apple computers for a long time.  Want to start using voice input with mail.  How do I get started?

    Apple's voice input options are the following:
    Dictation
    This allows you to speak a phrase and have the system enter it as text in any text field, be it a name and address form or a text editor like Pages or Word. The settings for this service are in the Dictation system preferences, and by default you activate it by pressing the Fn key twice in a row and then speak the desired phrase after you hear the bing sounds.
    Speakable Items
    This option allows you to somewhat control the Mac's interface elements by speaking key phrases to the system. This option is enabled in the Accessibility system preferences, and is at the bottom of the listed services. In here you can turn on the service and calibrate it to properly hear your voice, set a "listening key" (similar to the Fn key for Dictation), and then enable various command libraries.

  • Using POP Mail With Two Macs?

    Is it possible to use two Macs with Apple Mail? I use Mail on my iMac, and I would like to set it up on my PowerBook as well. The only problem is accessing the same mail on both computers. It seems like if I were to open a message, it would store it on the respective computer that I open it with, and I would not be able to access it with the other. Is it possible to set it up where I can see the same messages on both? I use GMail. Thanks.

    Like Kappy said, it's a hassle if you are using pop mail. But no problem with imap because the "master" copy is always maintained on the imap server, and your two computers are, essentially, nothing more than mirror sites.
    I don't know if GMail is pop or imap.
    What you would have to do for a pop account is set up account prefs to leave message on server after downloading on at least one of the computers, if not both of them. If you do that with both, I expect you will be hearing from your pop provider real soon about excessive disk space use. If you only do it to one computer, make sure that it is the one you will always be downloading mail from first. Plus, I can't remember whether that would cause multiple copies to download or not, on subsequent mail checks, when mail is left on server; it has been so long since I have had to play that game with pop servers.
    Again, imap is no problem, because imap was designed to address this very problem.

  • Using yahoo mail with outlook and mac mail

    I previously used entourage on my OS 10.6.8 mac but I have upgraded to os 10 and office 2011 with outlook.  When I set up outlook will yahoo mail messages only be accessible on the original device that opens them?  I have an iMac desktop with outlook, a Macair using mac mail and a Samsung tablet using yahoo mail.  I have noticed that when using mac mail only on the iMac and Macbookair, to get yahoo mail and yahoo mail on the tablet.  I can only see my yahoo mail messages on the first device that opens the yahoo mail account.  I have Yahoo mail plus.  Is there a way to fix this other than turning off the yahoo mail account on the devices I am not currently using?

  • HT4864 Is there any way to use POP mail with iCloud?

    Hi newbie here, so be kind!  Just trying to set up iCloud on my new iPad, my iPhone 3G and my oldish Windows PC running Vista.  I have managed to get the iPad and iPhone running relatively well, but the real reason I wanted to synch all my devices was because I am buried beneath all the emails that I receive each day and cleaning them off three devices was a real hassle (1st world prob I know).  My PC is running Windows mail because I couldn't get Yahoo mail to run on POP or IMAP settings. So I have been happily downloading Yahoo mail (via) POP into Windows mail for a few years now.  However I have hit an Apple Support doc saying that I cannot use POP settings in iCloud (if you know what I mean), I have to use IMAP.  Can anyone help me with what settings I need to put in Windows Mail to make it sync with the mail client on my phone and iPad?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Gmail and all POP systems are not iCloud mail. iCloud mail ends with @mac, @me or @icloud.com, Gmail and POP systems are not handled by iCloud mail systems.

  • Sync Mail with .Mac

    Hello,
    I've had my Macbook less than a week. I've been searching the Discussions boards and google about syncing my iMail with .Mac.
    I read this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=720270&#720270
    And so I created folders in .Mac and then I created these same folders in iMail. What I wanted to happen is when I open mail via .MAC I would leave it there. So when I got home and opened iMail the same emails would be there, then the rules that apply to the "on the mac" folders would kick in and file themselves in the appropriate folders but that is not happening.
    I.E. I'm forwarding my Yahoo mail to .Mac address. When I open iMail (using my .Mac account ALIAS) I was hoping iMail rules will see these messages and apply rules.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this to work.
    Thank you in advance.
    Z'Dane

    Hello Z'Dane.
    First of all, there is no such thing as ‘iMail’ in Mac OS X. I assume you’re talking about Apple Mail (i.e. the Mail application located in the /Applications/ folder).
    And so I created folders in .Mac and then I created these same folders in iMail.
    This is wrong. You can create the folders either on the web or using Mail, but if these are meant to be the same folders, you shouldn’t create them both ways.
    then the rules that apply to the "on the mac" folders would kick in and
    file themselves in the appropriate folders but that is not happening.
    I don’t fully understand what you’re saying, but the problem could be that rules in Mail are automatically applied to incoming messages only, not to messages that have already been read, for example.
    You can, however, select the messages in Mail and manually apply your rules to them doing Message > Apply Rules.

  • Mail with .Mac

    Can you use the mail program with a .Mac account ?
    Reason I'm asking is I will be living in Canada for a while and my wife will be back in the UK. Instead of using the web based .Mac mail I wondered whether it could be linked to the Mail application.

    You can find everything here. .mac email is IMAP account by the way.

  • Trouble sending mail with .Mac account

    I used to have a .Mac account, and the spam had gotten so bad that I had to cancel it. I started a new trial membership with a new .Mac address so that I could get a new account name. Now when I send an email using Mail, it tries initially to send the email using the old .Mac address, which obviously doesn't work. When I got to the outbox and open the unsent message and then click "send" the message sends without a problem.
    The old .Mac account isn't even entered in Mail anymore, so I have no idea what the problem is. I've tried deleting and adding my new account, but still get the same problems.

    Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Deleting an account doesn’t remove the outgoing server from the list. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
    Go to Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
    BTW, you may want to read the following articles, which are applicable to any mail account (not just .Mac), and any mail client (not just Mail):

  • Unable to use proxy server with MAC OS X Anyconnect client

    Hi All,
    I have a VPN setup thru a Cisco 5520, Windows clients connect just find and the end users configure there browser to use our internal proxy servers.   Users with the MAC OS X Anyconnect client can connect, they configure their Mac to use our proxy server, but the broswers will not work, clients can reach networks and resources behind the VPN gateway and have access to the Proxy(Tried a telnet to that hostname/port).  Anyone run into this issue before?  I am running ASA 8.3(2), Anyconnect(OS X) 3.1.01065.
    Thank You

    We had the same problem.
    We are behind government firewall so I don't know which Cisco firewall is used but we are using AnyConnect to establish VPN from internet to LAN behind firewall. We have no problems with Windows. With Mac OS X connection through proxy didn't work with Safari and Chrome (both are using system Proxy setting), but it did work with Firefox (which has it's own Proxy).
    Finally we found out that ethernet MTU size was the culprit. When we set it to manual, with size being 1347 (or less), proxy started to work.

  • Anyone using Lacie NAS with Mac?

    Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question. I want to buy a NAS with about 4TB capacity and currently am looking at the LaCie Network Space Max. I plan to move my iTunes library to the LaCie, and load it up with a bunch of other movies and content. I plan to use TimeMachine to back up my MacBook Pro onto the LaCie. I also plan to stream movies from the LaCie to my TV using the new Apple TV (which I haven't purchased yet).
    Does anyone have any experience with this particular LaCie device, or with LaCie NAS devices in general. Do you find them to work well with Mac computers in the manner I describe above? Thank you!

    Do you have a particular reason for purchasing this specific device?
    i.e I use a QNAP TS410 nas which does all that you want on mac flawlessly, so at the minimum add this to your potential list.
