Why can't I choose Apple Mail from Lightroom 4 Email Account Manager

I know that the built-in emailer in Lightroom is pretty half-baked but I'm having trouble even getting limited functionality out of it. While many people report you can send an email and leave the "From:" menu blank and that will take you to Apple Mail if you select it from the Email Account Manager. But I never get that option. All of my options are webmail: Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, Other... No matter what I do Apple Mail is never an option. Truth be told, what I'd really like is to find a way to automatically attach the image to a Gmail webmail session in Safari or Chrome so I could have use of my address book but that seems like a pipe dream. I'll settle for Apple Mail. Can anyone help?
Secondly, one of the other problems I have with the built in emailer is that Groups in the address book don't work at all for me. I've taken the time to input a bunch of addresses and then add them to a group. But I can find no conceivable way to automatically put that group in the To: field. It never comes up on autofill, can't drag it, nothing. I just have to manually type the addresses.
Something must be wrong. But what???
Thanks.

Apple Mail only appears if it's your default email client on the computer.  For example, I have my default set to Postbox so Apple Mail never appears.  It would appear in this pop-up:
If you do want to get through to a webmail session, you might be interested in this instead: http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrgmail.php
I can reproduce the issue with the groups and I'll get that bugged, thanks.  (There should be a checkmark in that Address Book dialog to allow you to check the whole group.

  • Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

    Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
    This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
    Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

    Sorry ?
    An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
    Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
    If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
    I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.

    Can you explain in better detail?
    Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?

  • Playing music purchased with apple id from closed email account

    i can't play music purchased with an apple id from another email account that no longer exists
    Please Help!!!

    Is it an old Apple ID of yours? If so, then whether the email is still valid or not, the Apple ID is still there. You need to authorize that ID to your computer by signing it onto iTunes and then clicking on Store on the top menu, then Authorize this computer.
    If you don't remember the password to that old ID, you can change it here: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you don't remember your Security Questions, you can have them reset by iTunes Support:

  • Why can't I push my mail from iCloud to my MobileMe account?

    I recently moved to iCloud and yesterday my MobileMe account stopped working. I update my software to OSX Lion and I can't figure out how to psh my mail from my iCloud account back to my MobileMe account. Can you help?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iCloud and MobileMe are similar but separate services, iCloud is replacing MobileMe. Having migrated to iCloud you should now only use your iCloud account. You can access your iCloud e-mail, in your mail application by enabling it in system preferences >iCloud .

  • Why can I no longer delete attachments from received emails??

    A few months ago I could delete an attachment from an email by clicking on the attachment name at the bottom of the email and hitting 'delete', but that no longer works.

    When I right click on the Attachment, a menu comes up with the Delete option.
    Nothing happens when I click Delete -- it gives the pop-up saying that it is 'totally gone if I delete it' -- but then nothing happens. No error messages. The attachment is still attached. I am using 31.1.2
    I just tried it again -- and it now works!!!
    Thanks for your help, David

    Hi Mandie.
    I assume you're probably using a laptop using Outlook or Windows Mail, something like that.
    In order to send from these sorts of programs, you normally have to alter the settings of each email account to use the smtp server of the connection you are on - and then alter when you have finished.
    The best method is to use webmail. Login to :-
    http://mail.yahoo.com
    where the Yahoo! ID is your full BTinternet email address.
    If you've never used webmail before, it may take a little while to get used to, but give it a go. Of course, any sent emails will be stored within webmail, not "Outlook/Windows Mail/Thunderbird" - and any email addresses you may need to use will have to be copied manually (or copy/paste) from "Outlook/Windows Mail/Thunderbird"

  • Using mail app from 2 diff computers to access mail from same email account

    I have a mac at home and at work. I would like to receive my email at my mac at work and at home using apple mail. I dont know if it is relevant or not, but my mac at work is on 10.2 and is an older imac with an older mail app obv. And my mac at home is on 10.5. The problem is that once my home computer retrieves the emails from gmail, my work computer wont get those same messages. How do I get both computers to retrieve all of the messages from my gmail inbox? I like the fact that if I get my mail at one computer, I cant get that mail at another computer. What do I do and what are my options?

    Doesn't gmail allow you to set up your account as an IMAP account? That would solve the problem.
    If gmail doesn't let you configure as an IMAP account, consider getting another email provider. I'm not an AOL fan boy by any means (I actually run my own personal 5-account postfix/dovecot-IMAP email server at home), but they are IMAP, they are free, and Apple Mail's new account wizard (at least on Tiger and later) really streamlines the creation of an AOL/AIM email account. Plus, if you use iChat, you already have the AIM account set up. If not, you have to pay a visit to webmail.aim.com and create an account (no need to download the AIM application that they are pushing)

  • Why can't I send a mail from an iPhoto Album in Safari

    After uploading an album from iPhoto I open the gallery in Safari 3.2.1.
    Then I get the option of sending a mail under "Tell a friend". I enter my mailadress and the addressees' mailaddress and then I try to enter the scrambled letters in the designated box. However these don't get accepted and another set of letters appear and I have to try again. This continuous ad nauseam.
    In the iPhoto-forum someone suggested I clear the cache but that didn't help, also that I delete the browsers preference file. So I removed com.apple.Safari.plist. That helped for a couple of hours, but now the problem has reocurred.
    Anybody has any ideas please? Thanks

    I have meanwhile installed Firefox 3.0.5, but that doesn't solve the problem. So it maybe isn't a Safari problem?
