When I type an apostrophe in apple's mail program it skips to another line?

When I type a word that needs a apostrophe in email it skips to another line:
When I start typing and use the apostrophe like this… I’
m not sure why it goes to the next sentence>

There have been some issues with having "smart quotes" turned on in Mail. You may want to try turning that feature off.
Could that be the source of your problems?

Apple's Mail program can't handle junk mail

I've had this machine for almost two months now and I'm STILL having problems with Apple's mail program:
1. It doesn't recognize junk mail. Although I've been in "train" mode for almost two months, it STILL doesn't recognize ANYTHING as junk mail, even things that are obviously junk, and even duplicates of messages already marked as junk.
2. Although I've set my preferences to delete junk mail on exit, the program doesn't delete junk mail. It doesn't matter whether I mark the messages manually as junk and leave them in my inbox, or if I mark the messages as junk and move them to my junk mailbox, or if I just move the messages to the junk mailbox without marking them as junk. The messages sit in the junk mailbox until I delete them manually.
I'm EXTREMELY disappointed with Apple and Apple software and the fact that almost NOTHING works as expected or advertised. I have problems with Mail, Safari and iCal to name just a few...

I am not understanding any of these problems, as Mail marks Junk quite reliably for me (and I think many others). Also, no problems with Safari nor iCal here.
If you have Junk in Training, as you report, then this would explain some of the behavior. While in Training vs Automatic Mail does not create a Junk mailbox in the the account folder, and thus the setting to delete messages from the Junk mailbox would not do anything. If you have yourself created a mailbox named Junk, Mail would not use it for its own purposes.
I think there are a number of misunderstandings on your part (Junk filtering with Mail's own procedure vs manually created Rules for one), and thus I cannot easily tell what may do the most good to correct things.
More info, please.

How do I get my email in Apple's Mail program from old drive to new drive?

I can not determine from Apple's support info how to export my email in Apple's Mail program from the old drive to the new drive.
The old 60 GB drive was at 55GB and had 3 volume structure problems. It would not backup all files using SuperDuper!, but I could backup the user files onto an external 250GB Tintanium Fantom Drive. So I installed a new 120 GB in the iMac and took the old 60GB drive and put it in an external firewire drive housing, which mounts, runs and will even act as the startup drive. I installed 10.3.9 on the new 120GB drive. I was able to export the address book over to the new drive with no problems, but I don't know how to export the email.
There does not appear to be an export function in Apple's Mail program (This sounds kind of ???).
I have a lot of email (#???) in a lot folders and subfolders (60) in addition to the inboxes, plus all the sent mail (2,000)

The Mail.app preference file (which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences) is located at Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
All Mail.app mailboxes and other data is stored in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail.
With the Mail.app quit on the new hard drive, place a copy of the Mail folder from the old hard drive at Home > Library on the new drive. If there is an existing Mail folder at Home > Library, this will replace it.
Place a copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file from the old hard drive at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive. If there is an existing com.apple.mail.plist file at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive (and there should be one if you have launched the Mail.app on the new hard drive), this will replace it.
Launch Mail on the new hard drive and the Mail.app should be completely restored or identical to the Mail.app on the old hard drive.

I'm new to Apple's Mail program (I've used AOL for years). How do I configure Mail so once an email is read it automatically disappears from the list of emails? Conversely, how do I mark "keep as new" an email I've read but I want to remain on the screen?

Right click on the email in the left hand pane. Select Mark as Unread to return it to an unread state. Click Delete to move it to the trash or file it in a folder if you have any configured. You may need to click the show button on the upper left hand side of the window to see your folders. The + sign at the bottom of that pane allows you to add a new folder.

Safari won't open web page on my domain with apple e-mail program open

Mail Version 3.2
Imac 2.4 ghz 3 gig ram
Mac OS x 10.5.2 up to date
After installing Safari 3.1, I have had an issue that I thought was going to drive me mad. If I have the mail program open, I cannot access any webpage on my domain. Lets say my domain was vvv.com. If I have the mail program open I cannot access www.vvv.com, no any subdomains on there. If I close the mail program and then just refresh the page in the browser, it works just fine. I have searched thru the forums, but cannot identify a solution. If anyone has an idea for me to try, I would appreciate any feedback and helpful hints. Yes, I know that I can just close the email program, but I am in the process of starting up a business website and having to remember to open my email program every so often is something I don't need.
And by the way, the problem also affects firefox also.
Thanks in advanced..

TS3276 What's the maximum size of an email to be sent by Apple's Mail program?

What is the maximum size of an email sent in the Apple Mail program? Is 2.9 MB too large?

No, in terms of Mail.app. As WZZZ said, this limit is set by your ISP.
Yes, in terms of netiquette. Google it. Any file > 1MB is, IMHO, too big for e-mail. Nowadays, this rule may be more relaxed, because more people have broadband. You should check with your intended recipient.

I have Google 2-Step Authentication, which is causing problems in Apple's Mail program, any advice?

I have Google 2-step authentication on my Gmail accounts, and until recently have used it with no problems whatsoever. What you have to do is generate an "application specific password" for apps where you cannot enter you "google authentication code". I generated the password to use with my Apple Mail program that comes as the default on Mac OS, however every time I get on my computer it asks for the password again. This must be a problem with the software, because I use it with no problems on my Iphone. Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks!!!

Apple's Mail program is missing 1000s of messages from Exchange account

I just discovered a terrifying thing about Mail, which I had chosen to use as my mail client to access my company's Exchange server.
When connected to the Exchange server, Mail shows and counts only 6,800 messages , while when I access the Exchange account from other systems ( iPad, iPhone, web mail, MS Outlook, ) there are 18,000 messages !
This is a SHAME ; I have used Mail to search for messages and make archives ; now I understand why on many occasions my searches etc. where unsucessful !
Mr Apple and Mr Microsoft, you need to solve this or just say upfront one should NOT use Mail to access an Exchange account ( which is my advice to anybody).

Right click on the email in the left hand pane. Select Mark as Unread to return it to an unread state. Click Delete to move it to the trash or file it in a folder if you have any configured. You may need to click the show button on the upper left hand side of the window to see your folders. The + sign at the bottom of that pane allows you to add a new folder.

How can I delete an enormous amount of e-mails from my computer. I have the Apple e-mail program, and threesome to be too many to delete. Any ideas how?

I have thousands of e-mails in my in box such that 'select all' will not work.

Click the first email. Scroll down a ways and hold the Shift key while you click an email way down the list. This selects that group of email. Tap the Delete key to delete that group. Repeat as often as needed until Select All works.

Returning when I press apostrophe key in Mac Mail. HELP!!! Before I lose my mind!

When I press the apostrophe key in Mac Mail, the cursor returns to the line below. I realize that RETURN and ' are next to each other so some may say something is stuck in my keyboard. I normally would agree, however, this problem is only happening in Mac Mail. Does anyone know how to fix this?

No, you won't. Back it up anyway; you may want to use a program such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to create a bootable clone on another drive.

Import Hotmail emails to Apple's Mail

I use Apple's Mail program for my primary email but I also have a Hotmail account, but I get so much spam that I want to close it. However, before closing it I would like to import all email from this Hotmail account into Mail but Mail's import feature does not list Hotmail, only "Other". But when I choose "Other" it asks me to select an application but of course Hotmail doesn't show up. Bottom line--how can I import my Hotmail emails into Apple's Mail?

Download this, it works really nice

Advantages of Apple's MAIL over webmail alternatives (e.g., Yahoo! Mail)

What advantages there are, if any, to using Apple's MAIL program over, e.g., Yahoo! Mail?
I began using email on the Internet long before I got a Mac and so have been a longtime user of webmail (i.e., Yahoo! Mail).
Webmail has one obvious advantage -- it can be accessed anywhere (including on PC's).
Webmail, as it currently exists, also has one great disadvantage -- its customer service tends to be poor, largely (so it seems to me) because it is staffed by people who are poorly-trained and often none-too-bright (my impression based on some of the replies I get). There are also no user forums for Yahoo! Mail comparable to those available at apple.com.
To date, that has not been enough of a problem for me to switch.
However, if there are particularly useful advantages to MAIL I'd like to know -- maybe I'll change my mind.
Are there any?
Thanks. Replies appreciated.

Webmail's major advantage is that you can always access it even if you don't have a computer with you. The disadvantage is the degree of management control you have over your mail.
A dedicated mail application provides management features that webmail usually does not. An advantage of Mail is the integration with iCal and Address Book.
You would need to use a dedicated email application for a while to determine if the additional features are something you need enough to warrant moving away from a webmail account, although ideally having an email ISP that provided both webmail and remote mail access would be ideal. You can have that with Yahoo but only with their upgraded fee account. Free Yahoo mail is only accessible via the web.

SBC Global and Apple Mail program woes

So I have SBC Global mail account and I use Apple's mail program to manage and access my mail via POP3 configuration. About 5-10 times a day randomly throughout my Mail program asks me to enter my password because the server rejected it, I know the password is correct because it works other times. I then enter my password and check the box "use this one" and it gets the mail but later on in the day it will reject my password. I use a gmail and school email account in addition to my SBC one, and they all work fine, thus ruling out a Mail glitch. Perhaps there are settings, or a known problem with apple and SBC? Does anyone have any experience, tips, or the same problems?
Thank you,
TM
