Why does Mail launch automatically?

Mail is not my default mail program but it constantly launches on its own.  It isn't one of my login items.  How do I stop it from launching?

Thank you for your reply.
It isn't opening at startup.  It is opening at random times and trying to send an email.  I quit the program but then it opens again a little while later.  I did go to Restart but Restore windows when logging back in was already unchecked.

  • Why Does iTunes Launch Automatically After A MP3 Download?

    I recently updated to Leopard and I've discovered that iTunes will launch automatically after I download an MP3. This is annoying since I keep my MP3's on an external HD separate from my Download folder. You shouldn't have to keep iTunes open just because you've downloaded an MP3. If I download a PDF to my Download folder, Acrobat doesn't launch automatically. That's the kind of OS behavior I expect from Windows. How do I stop iTunes from behaving in this manner or is this another "genius" feature I'll have to put up with?

    Update:
    If you're sure it's not your browsers, then most likely you have accessed iTunes' preferences and clicked the Set button for "Use iTunes for Internet music playback" (iTunes > Preferences > Advanced) at some point.
    As you can see, there is not an option to undo this change. So, you will either need to use Property List Editor (if you have installed the Developer Tools with OS X), or a 3rd-party property list editor to undo the setting. Short of that, you would have to simply quit iTunes and move the file com.apple.iTunes.plist (/~username/Library/Preferences/) to the Desktop to back it up, or to the Trash--but don't empty it yet in case you want to restore it. Then, launch iTunes and go through the process of setting up the application's preferences again, but don't set the preference to use iTunes for Internet music playback this time.

  • N Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.  Anybody have any idea how to stop this?

    In Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.? Anybody have any idea how to stop Mail from including my email address in the cc line when using "reply all"?

    Automatically cc myself is not checked.  I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab.  Thanks

    Hi pa_tom,
    In your printers folder on your computer, is the default printer set to your printer, or your printer- fax?

  • When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

    When I send an email from Mac Mail, why does Mail go to the background and the Finder comes to the front? I want it to stay in Mail.

    Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name.  Make sure the settings there are correct.

  • Why does iPhoto launch Chrome

    why does iPhoto launch Google Chrome when I Check For Updates?

    Hello Tara,
    iPhoto is launching because you have saved photos on your iPod Touch. If you remove them and try to reconnect your iPod, iPhoto will no longer launch. Saved photos could include saved email attachments as well as screen shots you have taken on your iPod Touch.
    Go to the "Saved Photos" album under Photos and delete all the photos from that album and that should do the trick for you.

  • Why does mail stop working?

    Why does mail stop working when it has worked fine for years?

    OK, thank you.  I use apple for e-mail.  I have an @me address and I have long subscribed to mobile me, which has recently become icloud.  Yesterday the @me mail account appeared to stop recognizing my e-mail password for my primary mail account on my two imacs but not on my ipad.  The most recent e-mail I have received on my imacs is 7:16am yesterday, but I know from my ipad that I have received numerous e-mails since then.  I have other mail accounts, including one for the school where I teach.  I am receiving e-mail on the school account ok.
    I made no changes to my password or otherwise for my primary mail account any time recently.  I also still have my @mac address.
    Generally, I do not understand icloud.  I do not understand how to sync information across computers.
    When I go to preferences in mail and I click and accounts and account information, I do not understand anything that I see there.  When I try to re-type my password, there seems to be no way to save it except to switch to another mail account.  I know from past experience that if I attempt to fix whatever might be wrong with mail I do not know what I am doing.
    Any information would be helpful.  Thank you.

    Hi Michael
    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you have Stuffit installed and are saving to the desktop?
    Because in that case it is Stuffit decompressing the Pages document's package.
    Just save to your document folder.
