Using Mail for news feed

Hello-
Can Mail be used to receive news? My ISP has a how-to for using Outlook Express but I'd like to try it with Mail. If not Mail, is there another Mac app that will work? This is for a class assignment. Thanks!

Can Mail be used to receive news?
No.
If you mean Usenet newsgroups, you can use Thunderbird. They can also often be viewed with a browser via groups.google.com

Not able to create new e-mail on N8 using Mail for Exchange.
Currently using google for my domain, but settings are the same as explained on the google Sync webpage: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
When creating reply on mail the application crashes. When creating new mail it says "Kan bewerking niet uitvoeren" in english: "Unable to execute action".
Any idea why creating mail is not possible?

Joris

TS3276 I use Mail for my email and lately, if I get an email coming in while writing one, the program freezes for a few seconds. Frustrating.

I have a 27" iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I use Mail for my email. Just in the past 2 -3 months, if I'm writing an email while another one is coming in to the inbox, the program freezes, the spinning colour ball appears and I can't continue typing for 5 seconds or more. I get and write a lot of emails so it's frustrating.
I've also noticed that sending messages is taking longer than it used to. The program spins its wheels for a few seconds before sending. Definitely noticeably longer than prior to this situation. Any ideas anyone?

Using mail for a yahoo account

Is there any way I can use Mail for my yahoo mail account?

This will only work if you are not a resident of the US. Or so I am told.
1. Log into your yahoo account using your web browser
2. Click on options
3. Click on pop access and forwarding
4. Click on web and pop access
5. Set the setting to how you want them.
6. Set up mail to access your yahoo account.

Resetting the phone will remove MfE mailbox from the phone. When you recreate the account, you can choose what gets synced in the initial sync and which part is authoritative, device or server.

What does a 2 on the upper right corner of the Mail icon mean? When opened, the app is essentially blank and unresponsive. We've been using Mail for weeks.

Thanks. I used an Apple in 79-81, and got the first PC in EDS (Ross Perot) in Jan, 82. Installed corporate email in 83. Now have 4 pcs in a house of 2 people, supporting our 5 kids and 15 grandkids. The iPad is what it took to get my wife to use her own email address. I should have known about the red circle - my bad. I did get fixed with a reset. Vern Olson

Using mail for outgoing mail only?

I am trying to set up mail with a work email that does not bring in mail, but I can send out using our email. We have a system in place at the moment where all emails come in through the front reception and then gets distributed internally depending on where it needs to go. I dont want to bypass this, but I do want to be able to send email and not have to use the webmail from our provider to do this.
I have tried leaving the "incoming server" blank, but it does not let me proceed without information there. Even tried making a fake one to see if that works, but it doesnt.
Any tips on how to do this? Is this even possible?
Thanks

What SMTP do you wish to send with? If using the SMTP of your ISP, typically you can simply add the work email address as a second email address in a POP account provided by your ISP -- see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9973.html
However, some SMTP such as that provided by Gmail will change the Reply To header to the Gmail address, and others such as that for MobileMe will not accept non-MobileMe from addresses. But the one from most ISPs will.
You can also set up an account manually, skipping the Account Setup Assistant, take the account Offline (and not include when checking for new mail), and it will still send, assuming you have a SMTP to use with it. To skip the account setup assistant, hold down the Option key when clicking the "+" to add an account. By this path Mail will not actually force the check connection to the Incoming Server

Havent used mail for while, so need to download only the latest mails

I was previously on snow lepoard and just recently updated to Lion. I used the Mail app for a bit when I was on SL and havent used it for a year now. I want to start using the mail app on Lion, but I dont want it to download the 1800+ (old and new) emails from my hotmail account. Is there a way to download just the latest emails.
Thank you

I'm reading through the poor documentation for PhoneFactor and it appears to support MacOS. That being said, Option 1 will not happen at an Apple Store. You will need to install Windows yourself. If you use BootCamp, then a 20 GB partition is probably the minimum you can get away with for Windows 7. A better solution is to run Windows in a virtual machine program such as Fusion, Parallels or VirtualBox. Most of these virtaual machines will allow you to run Windows an Mac software side by side so you do not have to reboot your system over and over between Mac and Windows. They also feature an option to have hard drive space that expands and contracts for Windows as you need it automatically. Any of these are beyond the scope of this user forum though.

Cannot unlock E75 after using Mail for Exchange

Hi,
I tried Mail for Exchange with my new Nokia E75 and it worked very well, fetched my company e-mail and everything looked good. During the installation the setup wizard asked whether to sync and how often, etc and I said yes. The setup program insisted that I need to take phone locking into use. It sounded strange but I accepted.
Now I see that I cannot connect my Nokia E75 to my computer with USB anymore as it is in locked mode! When trying to unlock the from from control panel, all I get is "Unable to unlock the phone". I even removed the whole Mail for Exchange mailbox configuration but it did not help.
So two question: a) are Mail for Exchange and USB really mutually exclusive? b) how I can unlock my phone?
Thanks!

Others are having the same problem with other models, too:

Safari vs. Mail for RSS feeds?

From reading Mac Help, I see you can use both Safari or Mail for reading RSS feeds.
As I understand it, the advantage of using Safari is that you have to use Safari anyway to subscribe to and actually read the full articles, so it would seem to make more sense just to use Safari.
However, the advantage of creating a special RSS feeds mailbox in Mail is that you can have all the feeds from multiple blogs appear in a single mailbox as they are posted, instead of having to load up the feeds for each site separately in Safari.
Is this correct? Thanks.

Correct.
I prefer to use Mail to manage, and if/when I want more, I follow the link via Safari.

Unable to delete EPMA Planning app & re-use datasource for new app

We have EPMA Planning application (v11.1.1.3)
I am trying to delete a deployed planning application and try to use the same datasource for creating new application.
I have deleted the application from EPMA application library and deleted it from Planning directory in Shared Services. But, still that datasource is not showing up as available datasource for new application.
Any ideas to how I can re-use the datasource. Please advise.
Thanks,
DV

You may need to update the planning system tables.
Go into the planning system relational tables
Table HSPSYS_APPLICATION, delete row relating to planning app, note the app_id.
Table HSPSYS_PROPERTIES, delete records with id that you have just stored.
Table HSPSYS_DATASOURCES, update app_id to -1 for the datasource you use for the planning app.
Restart Planning.
Try again.
Ok?
Cheers

Using mail for hotmail

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to use Mail as a basis for accessing my hotmail account, if that makes sense? I believe that something similar can be done with Outlook express.

E71: audio notifications for email using Mail for ...

I can't get audio (or, for that matter vibrate) notifications for incoming email messages in my Mail for Exchange (MFE) account.
My phone is a Nokia E71-2 and I recently upgraded to firmware version 200.21.118 to see if that would cure the problem, but it did not. I've checked the Profile settings and made sure that email notifications are turned on, but audio notifications still dont work. For a while, I used Yahoo mail and the notifications seemed to work just fine for my Yahoo account. Unfortunately, I'm much more interested in using my MFE email account. I thought that perhaps the settings only applied to my Yahoo account so I have deleted it from the phone. The only active email account on my phone today is the MFE account - but still no audio notifications.
Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure if this will work for you guys since I am in the US, but I think I figured out the issue. You need to change the settings for the home screen to alert you when messages arrive in the Mail for Exchange section.
To do this:
Menu > Settings > General > Personalization > Home Screen > (Make sure Home Screen is ACTIVE) Mode Settings > Home Screen Applications > E-mail 1 Notification > Select Mail for Exchange
That should work.
