Where is the discussion for mac mail

They list virtually all other apps, itunes, safari etc. but there is no forum for the mail application.  I see people have all kinds of problems with it but those don['t seem to be gathered under any specific heading where you can look for them or where it would be logical to post a question.
I have a macbook air, so that is why I'm here.  I could also be in Snow Leopard because I'm running 10.6.8.
I'm running Mail 4.5 (eer I was running)
this is the second time in a few months that mail had trouble shuting down - I chose quit and it ground away for a while but never quit and I had to force quit it and now it can't find its mailboxes and when I launch it it wants to walk me through the setup app.  the last time I did this it made all new mailboxes and I never got things right again even when I told it where the old mailboxes were.
How can I just skip the setup nonsense and launch the program and relink it to the mailboxes which are in the library folder for my user identity?
thanks,
brian
and PS - what is up with this forum.  I click on "forgot my apple ID" (which I always have) and it keeps  offering as a result to reset my password instead of telling me what my applie ID is.  I don't want to reset my password, I know that, I forgot my friggin ID. Then I have to spend untold tries trying to remember what it is.

From the main page, click on the link with the title of the OS version you're using, such as Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.

  • Where are the emoticons in Mac Mail?

    Where are the emoticons in Mac Mail 5.2 on OS 10.7.3?

    I used  colon parentheses with the smiley emoticon  which is the normal code for a smiley. It works on this forum. I used to type these in all the time on Eudora so I'm familiar with the different combinations.
    I added a space after it in the system preferences/language popup and sent myself another letter with it included and it still doesn't work in Mac mail (I added a space before and after it in MacMail).  but it does work in TextEdit now.
    Yes, "use symbol and text substution" is clicked.
    The checkbox is ticked in the replace box; in the next box is the colon/parentheses with a space, and then the smiley in the next box.
    Thanks for trying to help.

  • Where's the conversation in mac mail?

    Where's the conversation in mac mail? Like in Gmail. Mac Mail in conversation mode only shows one side of the 'conversation'. You have to go to the sent folder to the see the other side. Anyone know of way to change the view? Sparrow mail even has both sides of the conversation in the in box. Surprised mail is lacking this.

    Go to Preferences > Viewing and check "Include Related Messages". Mail randomly turned this off for me recently and I had to find it and turn back on.

  • The inbox for Mac Mail lists every incoming message twice. When I delete a message it deleted both entries. I have tried the solution in "help" and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    I am wondering if anyone is seeing my question? This is my first time and I am not sure if I am communicating correctly. If you are seeing the question above regading deleted messages reappearing please reply so I will at least know I am getting the message out.
    Thank you.

  • Where are the "on my mac" mail folders stored, on my mac?

    I can't find the folders located under the "on my mac" label in Mail.  Can anyone help?
    I want to ensure I have the files stored.

    Ah - I see them now and inside Finder.  They are in the V2.  My local folder structure looks like this:
    Folder1
    Folder2
    Folder3
    --SubFolder1
    --SubFolder2
    ----SubFolder1
    ----SubFolder2
    --SubFolder3
    --SubFolder4
    and even more nested than that.  In V2/Mailboxes/Mail Archive.mbox, I did see the three root folders earlier when you first posted that path.  I thought maybe Mail stopped archiving the folders and they were moved, since none of the sub folders were there.  Then I clicked Folder3 and all of the sub folders are there.  I wasn't expecting them to be nested in the file system.

  • What is the extension for mac mail in lion

    What is the extension for mail in lion?

    What do you mean exactly, that you're looking for com.apple.mail.plist?
    If so, it should be in the Preferences folder like it always is. But Lion hides the Library folder, which holds the Preferences folder, so you'll probably have to use one of the techniques to reveal the Library folder.

  • Where is the 'firefox for mac' download button?

    Hi,
    I've read the mozilla article on downloading firefox for mac, and it shows a download firefox for mac button. As suggested I went to http://mozilla.org/firefox , but there is no such button there, nor was there any indication that the promised 'detecting the right firefox version for your computer' took place. Do I just go ahead with the install or do I need to look elsewhere on the mozilla site for that firefox for mac button?
    Mozilla Firefox please update your 'firefox for mac' article!
    Thanks in advance to anyone able to advise me.

    That page will suggest to you automatically download the last version or you can download from here:

  • Where can I find free Christmas stationery for Mac Mail version 6.2?

    Where can I find free Christmas stationery for Mac Mail version 6.2 on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.2??? Everything I've tried to download is from 2008-2009 and isn't compatible.
    ~Patty

    Dear sig,
    Thank you for responding. When I Googled, I received a list of suggested web sites, but they were all posted in 2008-2009 and, when I downloaded the application, they were not compatible with OS 10.8.2 and/or Mail 6.2. I did find an app in the App Store called "Stationery for Mail" for $6.99 (less expensive than equinux or ipresentee) that had one Christmas email template and several others for other occasions/seasons. I purchased that one so that I'd have at least one email template to use for now, but I'd love to find more templates for future use that are FREE.
    I can't believe Apple hasn't created more email stationery templates for download (freeware) on its web site. I can find screensavers and wallpapers, but nothing for Mail.
    If you or anyone else finds or knows of a website with FREE email stationery templates for Mail 6.2, please let me know.
    Thank you!

  • Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

    Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
    My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

    OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
    You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

  • I have installed OS Maverick 10.9 and now find titles are included for mac mail addressees. That is, I get Dr John Brown instead of John Brown. That did not happen before. How do I suppress the title?

    I have installed OS Mavericks 10.9 and now find that Mac Mail includes titles for addressees. Thus, it shows 'Dr John Brown' instead of 'John Brown'. I have had the same problem with suffixes with earlier versions and solved that by deleting all suffixes from my address book. I don't want to have to do that for titles. How can I keep the titles in my address book but have them not show for Mac Mail addressess?

    I have the opposite problem, Barry ... now only the eMail address shows ... no name at all, even though I type it in!

  • I bought the Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows a few years ago. Now I have also a Mac Book pro, where I have to Install the Dreamweaver CS5. I have made the Download for Mac, but I can't Install it. When I push the button, I got an error message.

    CS5 for Windows can only be installed on Windows operating system.
    You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
    Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.
    You could get DW CC from the Creative Cloud which supports both Win/Mac platforms.
