When I open Mail.app, iCal opens as well...

When I open Mail.app, iCal opens as well - there are no prefs that I can find to turn this off... it started a while ago.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Rico

MailTags will open iCal by default when launching Mail. This can be turned off in the MailTags Preferences. Open Mail's prefs, locate the MailTags Preferences (you may need to click >> in the top right) and select the calendar tab.

Opening Mail.app also opens iCal

This is really strange. When I open Mail.app on my MacBook, iCal launches as well.
Not sure why, but this started yesterday. I did a bunch of installation yesterday including installing Virtue Desktop, Parallels and WinXP. Not sure if that is related.
I also enabled mach_inject for my account and then disabled running these commands:
sudo niutil -appendprop "/" "/groups/procmod" "users" `id -un`
and then later removing with this:
sudo niutil -destroyval "/" "/groups/procmod" "users" `id -un`
Not sure if that's related either.
Anyone have any clue why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Did you also install MailTags?
If so, that explains it. MailTags interacts with iCal for setting up todos. I've included a preference setting to control this however -- go to mailpreference and select the MailTags prefs - (may have to click >> on right. Select the iCal tab.

How to default to "All Inboxes" when opening Mail app

I just upgraded to a iPhone 5s, but I was having this issue also when I was using my 4s. I never had problems until I upgraded to iOS7. I routinely get mail to all my email accounts and would prefer that when I open the mail app, that it opens to "all inboxes" first rather than the inbox of the first account listed. A little history....
4s - my default email account was set to Gmail, but when launching the mail app, it ALWAYS opened to the inbox of my first account listed...Exchange.
5s - I have deleted the Exchange account, but the mail app continues to open in the inbox of the first account listed, which happens to be my default account...Gmail.
When I shut down the mail app, I ALWAYS go back to the "All Inboxes" screen, but when I relaunch mail, it continues to open in the inbox of the the first account listed.
I've read through other threads of people having this same issue, but any fixes mentioned seem to be 2011 or earlier. So obviously, this has been happening for some time on other versions of iOS. Is there a real, CURRENT, fix to this issue?

Allan,
Yes, you are correct in everything you said. I should have been more detailed. My apologies.
I want my mail app to open to this screen, which it used to. I was referring to it by the incorrect name. Not all inboxes but to all my mailboxes screen (see image). Leaving the app open on this screen, moving to another app, and then returning to the mail app is fine. However, when I close mail and relaunch, it will open to the inbox of the first account listed, which is Gmail.
I'd like to add, Allan, that you acutally made me away of a possible solution to this issue if no true fix isn't available. I like this screen because I get to see how many messages are in which account and prioritize accordingly. However, I could do as you suggested and keep my mail open to "all inboxes". I see all my mail, but I can still decide which messages to prioritize without reading them. It isn't THE solution I was looking for, but is A solution until Apple fixes it. Thanks!

Mail app wont open/ crashes

I turn on my mac this morning and the Mail App wont open, it keeps on crashing.
I tried holding shift key while opening it and the program does open, but when i select a message it crashes again.
never had this problem before.
There is not current updates available for my mac, so I dont know what it is happening.
I have a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 - 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Machintosh HD , I am running Maverics 10.9.1

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Can not open Mail App in IOS 8.1.1

Since I installed IOS 8.1.1 versión today I have not been able to open Mail App. When I try to open it the screen turns white for a few seconds and then it crashes. I would like to know if there is any solution to this, as checking my mail is escential for my job.
Thanks in advance,
Alejandro.

Hello Alejandro,
For issues with Mail crashing, I would start with closing out of Mail completely by double tapping the Home button and then swiping up on the app. Try opening Mail again to see if it opens up properly. If it continues, try removing the email account and then open Mail to see if it works properly. Then add the account back in. Take a look at the articles below for steps on how to do both options.

How can I automatically open Mail.app message attachments after downloading

The subject says it all, I think.
My wish #1
Automatically Opening Mail.app message attachments after downloading
My Wish #2
At least having the Finder automatically default to the folder I just downloaded to after completing the download.
Is this an option in Leopard, at least?

Very clever. But unfortunately that doesn't seem to work in Tiger.
Then again, I stil presume that when you do that, a ile is still downloaded and appears somewhere on your hard drive. If you "save as" the file opened by preview, you probably still need to go back to the place where the file was saved and delete it.
Then again again, if Preview is peeking into a Word or Excel attachment, it may not actually be "downloading it" first?? Strange. If it was a jpg file attachment, on the other hand, it seems more likely that some sort of file would be downloaded to the hard drive as a result of that drag and drop of the paper clip.
I did find that drag and drop capability interesting, though. Even in Tiger.
Oh well. I have to start looking at scripts.
When I downloaded that Automator application that was supposed to "close all open applications", I was surprised that it didn't work. Says it works with TIger. ???
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/
Was I supposed to import it into Automator as an "action" and save it as an Automator application and then open Automator and click "run" for that action each time I wanted to use it? Seams a bit cumbersome.

Mail app always opens in default inbox

I have a 4s running 6.1.3. Currently, when I open the mail app, it opens with the default inbox. I would prefer to open to the mailboxes 'main' screen that shows all the accounts as opposed to an inbox. Is this possible? I cannot find any prompts in the mail app or the settings to do this. I have read a few discussions, but there does not seem to be a concrete answer.

I gave you two answers in my reply. You didn't like the answer and cried about what if...
This is all I will say.
Good luck.

Try selecting Force Quit from the Apple menu and select Mail to see if you can Force Quit it.
I'm unclear about what you're seeing when you do open Mail, but if you're not seeing any windows opening, you may need to reinstall OS X.

Is there a way to send email without opening Mail.app?

Hello,
I would like to be able to send email using either an Applescript or a shell script that would send email without opening Mail.app. The ideal solution would be using an account and settings (such SSL encryption of my password) that are stored in mail.app. However, if that is not possible, I could set up another email account to be used just for the purpose I have in mind so I don't have to worry about my password being exposed in clear text.
I've seen Applescripts that open Mail.app and then hide it in the background but the key requirement for my particular need is that Mail.app never open during the send process. I synchronize my email between my iMac and my Powerbook using Chronosync so it is critical that none of the files that store or index the actual mail in Mail.app be opened so as not to alter their modification dates.
Thank you,
James

If you upgrade to 10.4 there is a widget that will let you compose and send mail without opening Mail.
Here's two other options.
1. Does your isp have a web based email?
2. Download a program like thunderbird for email. When you configure it end phony information for incoming mail and only fill in the correct infor for outgoing mail.

My mail app wont open so that i can view it but it wont let me 'quit' either so I cant just do a restart to do updates and troubleshoot?

Whenever I open Mail.app, my iMac crashes after a while.

Hi guys,
whenever I open Mail.app on my iMac (Mid 2010, OSX 10.8.2) crashes like I suddenly lost power. Did anyone expirience such a problem before? The iMac runs fine, currently I'm using Thunderbird without problems.
What I alread did:
- Reinstall OS
Best regrads,
Tobias

Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find what actually caused the issue. Especially if it has been fixed now.
If you did a Migration, it would only transfer user data settings and files over. From what i can understand the reason why the Mac switched off was just a fluke, that in result caused the issue with Mail.
What i would suggest, if the enviroment you live in is dusty, is to try and benchmark the Mac with any benchmarking application. It might have been caused by overheating. If the Mac reaches to a point where it switches off, it would be best to go to an Apple Retail Store, or an Service provider, to get it cleaned from all the dust.
Other than that... Mac OS is developed in a way that a re-installation will fix most issues straight away. In very rare occasions will you need to fiddle with the OS manually.
