Why is Mail opening automatically in Mountain Lion?

I don't use Apple Mail under Mountain Lion (just Gmail online), but I do have several Google accounts configured, which I use for contacts and calendar.
Several times a day, Mail starts automatically and I cannot figure out why. I have turned off all mail-related notification and any other preferences I could find. But still, I find myself quitting Mail several time a day.
How can I stop this?

Hello,
If you set up your Google accounts on ML, then the Notification Center opens automatically your Mail client.
You can stop that in System Preferences > Notifications and drag “Mail” at the bottom of the window in “Not in Notification Center”.
Hope this will help.

Why has Mail stopped working in Mountain Lion?

I installed Mountain Lion and Mail was working. 2 days later Mail stopped. No longer getting IMAP messages via Gmail. No account listed for RSS feeds. ISO a down to earth manual for using new OS 10.8.

Question resolved by time. Must have been some sort of system glitch. All working fine now with no action on my part.

Why is Mail so slow on Mountain Lion?

Hi there, I have about 200,000 e-mails in my mailbox. Double-clicking regularly takes 5-10 seconds to open with the "Loading..." message. Also, file attachments don't seem to be there when I open an e-mail downloaded 15 minutes or more prior. It feels a lot slower that Lion. I was hoping it would be faster. I hope they work on optimizing Mail, because it doesn't feel better than Lion.
Thanks...Neil

Quit Mail.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Delete the selected file. Relaunch Mail and test. It should re-index your mailboxes.

Why was deleted the RSS reader in Mail on OS X Mountain Lion?

Why was deleted the RSS reader in Mail on OS X Mountain Lion?
How can I re-enable the RSS reader?

All RSS Readers that I tested from MacAppStore are much worst than Mail's in Lion.
Hate them all. I'm using blogtrottr.com to compile all RSS and send me via email. But it's flooding my mailbox. There're a bunch of them that require a Google Reader account, and I won't do that. It doesn't matter to Google which RSS I'm following.
I wish Apple put RSS reading back to Mail. Stupid idea taking it off.

Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?

Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?
This happens with maybe 1 out of 5 files. These are files that have either an ."aa" extention, or or are libraries that icloud can see, but finder can't.

Files beginning with a period are invisible and library files are system files. Spotlight cannot find either unless configured to do so (btw, this is not a Finder issue but a Spotlight issue.)
Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
In the first drop down menu choose Other.
Choose “System Files” from the list that pops up (and check the box to place in drop down menu to avoid this step later,) click on the OK button.
Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.

Why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion

why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion.

As far as I know the only people not having to pay for Mountain Lion are the ones that have purchased a apple computer after the 4th of june or something. These people get a free upgrade. All others will have to pay for a copy of Mountian Lion.
Do you maybe have a source, which states that others don't have to pay for it, where people that have bought Lion do have to pay?
With kind regards,
Wes

Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

Printing multiple emails in order, using Mail 6.1 on Mountain Lion

In Mail 6.1 on Mountain Lion, when multiple emails are selected, then printed, they no longer print in the order that they arrived in the mailbox (as they did on previous versions of Mail).
Does anyone know how to order these correctly?

I was (ok, still am) frustrated by the same issue.
IF you are running MtnLion (not sure about Lion, but won't work for SL) you can do the following to create TXT or RTF output in the right order
Create a new mail message (yes, just a blank message).
Go to you main Mail window, navigate to the folder(s) which contain the message you want to group together. Select the messages you want to group.
Now go back to your blank message by simply clicking on that window.
Go to menu and click on Edit-->Append Selected Messages
All of you selected messages now are included in the blank message you were composing.
As a refinement, you can select all, and then reduce the "Decrease" the Quote Level (see Format menu).
Then save your draft and close it.
OK, it get's a bit quirky here. You can't do a "SaveAs" with anything in your Draft Folder. So to SaveAs, you must drag the message to another mailbox folder. Just make a TEMP folder and drag it there. Once there, you can SaveAS to (raw, txt or rtf), and the message will show up in the outfile in the correct order.

Because line-in has been removed.
It does allow for an Apple headset with mic., but I don't know if it would work with third-party ones.
You'll need to use a Griffin iMic or similar to use line-in via a USB port.
The same goes for the 15" retina, the newest MBA and the new iMac (whenever it finally arrives).
