When typing a new email in Mail for Yosemite, letters on the screen often lag behind key presses.

Since I installed Yosemite, I have experienced a serious lag in typing new emails. Letters appearing on screen can lag significantly behind keypresses. The only fix I've so far tried was to repair permissions. No effect.
I have a mid-2011 27" iMac, 3.4 GHz i7 with 8 GB RAM. 1.16 TB free disk space. I'm using a wired Apple keyboard.
The problem does not occur in Pages or Text Edit or anywhere else that I've noticed (including this Safari window now). I'm running a little Free Memory app in the menu bar which tells me I have around 2.5 to 3 GB of memory free as I type in Mail.
Any suggestions?

Same thing here. Working on a Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz Core i7 with SSD and 8Gb Ram.
Typing goes ok for the first few lines but after about six or seven lines it starts to lag seriously. I'm a pretty fast typer and mail often lags 6 or 7 characters behind which is infuriating. I didn't notice it before so I think it may have to do with the 10.10.1. update. Restarting doesn't help.
Man, I hope there will be a fix soon or I will have to downgrade to Mavericks and I'm not looking forward to all the extra work...

HT1277 When I send or receive an email on Mail for Mac, the computer stores the email address of either the sender or recipient.

When I send or receive an email on Mail for Mac, the computer stores the email address of either the sender or recipient.
The next time I send an email it fills in the name after typing a few letters.
Is there any way to get a complete list of the email addresses that are stored in this fashion.

Go to Mail > top menu bar > Window and select 'Previous recipients'.

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
Thanks

Speak to your ISP. Check your internet connections.

How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.

No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.

Switches to email tab without being clicked when i recieve new email

So far a D for FireFox.
Chrome was SLoooooow. But FF does things without being told to
This is what I was afraid of!!!!!!
I like to keep my email tab onscreen so I can look at email when it arrives. But now FF switches to that tab without being clicked. when I get new email.
How do I stop this very very aggravating issue? Can't type, cant even click, Nothing will work until the message is seen in "new mail". THEN I can switch back to the tab I'm using.
Also how do I have FF open Adobe reader to view PDFs . All I get is a blank background.

If Safe Mode solves the issue, the behavior will be related to an Add-on.
Just disable all of them and start activating one by one until you replicate the behavior. The last one that you have activated will be the one that is causing the behavior.

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it. My password doesn't work with the old email address. When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist. Help!!!

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem.

Email address of a contact was changed or it deleted, but still pops up when sending a new email?

How do I keep deleted or changed Contact's EMail address from popping up when sending a new email ti that contact?
The old address keeps showing uo - even when deleted or changed in CONTACTs-I checked the contact file and the change was made and no longerin the file?
Must be a "BUG" in the Mail and/or Contact" Program with sharing of data not being updated immediately when changes are entered and saved?
Any help would beappreciatd.

Just remove the names from your "Previous Recipients" list:
It's not a bug.
This is many years old.

Unknown "from" email address when I compose new email

Hello,
Starting last night, I noticed that when I go to compose a new email, an unknown email address defaults into the "From" section of the new email. If I pull down on the unknown address, my real address is there, but not selected. I can select it manually.
I tried going to "Email Settings" and making my email address the default, but it keeps auto filling this unknown address into the "From" section of the email. The save is not sticking.
Does anyone know how to delete an email address once it is showing up in the "From" section?
Much appreciated.
P.S. I'm wondering if either my email or the Verizon system got hacked because this just happened from one moment to the next

#1 In the e-mail UI, go to Mail under My Settings
#2 Where it says Default From Address, select the e-mail address that you want the mail to come from.
#3 Press Save.

Icloud site keeps shutting down when writing a new email

Why does my icloud site continue to shut down while typing a new email?

Hi mtclark007,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing to check is the System Status at the iCloud Support web site (see link below). It's possible the Mail servers may have been experiencing an issue during the time you were typing your email. The links below will provide some additional iCloud troubleshooting information:
Apple - Support - System Status

How can i get notification of new emails in Mail without having the application open?

How can i get notification of new emails in Mail without having the application open?

Leave Mail running, but close its window (click red dot or ⌘W).
Right-click the Mail icon and use "Options" to enable "Open at Login". In the "Login Items" tab of "Users & Groups" system preference, check the "Hide" box next to Mail so it doesn't open a window when starting.
