Writing a new email

If I write a new email I am not able to put it in the background and search for something else in mail. I often have to go back and forth in a couple of emails to get input for the new one. It is extremely disturbing that I always have to quit and save -> look something up --> reopen the mail and continou writing.
I really like Lion but theese liitle things drive me crazy since I actually have to get some work done!
Thank you!

This is true in full screen mode.  If you aren't in FS mode than you can move back and forth between compose and other emails.
Regards,

    Mail has started sending duplicates of a message, especially group messages.  It also opens 2 windows for writing a new email.  Help. How do I fix this?

    Unfortunately there isn't official commercial support for Mozilla Thunderbird from Mozilla Corp.. I believe some contributors here ([http://mozilla.magicfab.ca myself included]) do offer such support, though.
    ''Before doing anything else, please do exit Thunderbird completely and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile backup the profile folder] - it contains all your email, settings, filters, etc.''
    Regarding your issue, it looks like the mail folder information may be corrupt. In the left pane, in the folder list, right-click on the Sent folder and select '''Properties'''. Choose "'''Rebuild Index'''" or "'''Repair Folder'''" - do you even have that option? Once done, exit TB completely and restart it.
    Updating to a newer version will help anyone help you, if only because some of the documentation for older Thunderbird versions is a bit harder to find and testing to try & reproduce your problem will be harder. Don't do this just yet, though :)
    After this issue has been addressed I would suggest considering using IMAP if your provider allows you to, and of course archiving your email to Local Folders and doing regular backups of your profile.
    If you want to arrange commercial support, contact me via the link I provided above and we can discuss rapidly. Otherwise I am fine continuing here, however I can only reply as time permits. I am in Montreal (so, EST time zone).

  • 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

  • Mail 7.1- Reduce window size in a new email

    I'm having problems reducing the window size when writing a new email. Mail 7.1 does not let me reduce the window size once I introduce a email address.
    Thank you for your help.

    Sorry, I didn't mean maximized in the way the window is fullscreen. I have the window in a normal size 2/3 of the screen - then press CMD+H to hide it. When a mail comes in Mail goes back from hide mode to window mode - very strange. And it is only on emails on my first account. When an email on my MobileMe account arrives it stays hidden in the dock.
    Maybe it is because I installed FlagIt from http://www.tastyapps.com - a little addon to mark emails with colores and flags. Will check this.

  • I updated to lion and now don't have a minimize button in the new emails i am writing.  Do i really have to save it as a draft to be able to have multiple emails in progress?  Or am I missing something obvious?!

  • Writing new email messages in Mail (OS X Yosemite)

    I have often had need to reference other mail messages whilst writing a new one, and often copy and paste from one to the other, yet this doesn't seem to be possible since upgrading to Yosemite. When I go to reply to a message or write a new one, it brings up a new mail message window, but seems to disable being able to go back into other messages while having the new message open.
    Is it possible to go backwards and forwards between different messages, or have both on screen at the same time without having to close, save as draft, go to the other message, copy what you want and then reopen the saved draft?
    Thanks.

    That was it. I hadn't realised it had gone to fullscreen, as I was viewing the message window on my Macbook pro screen that I use with a 27" thunderbolt screen and I have it usually almost filling the 13" screen, but not normally completely full screen so I'd not had the problem before.
    Thank you.

  • Taking a photo while writing a new mail

    Many times I am writing a new mail to someone and I want to take a photo and attach it to the mail. I can do this by taking photo in Photo Booth and dragging it to mail but was wondering if there is a easy way to just do it from the email itself. I was hoping that someone has written a script that would just take a picture and attache it to the email.
    thanks

  • Cannot send email from my iPhone or iPad. The server rejects a recepient for no apparent reason.  The recipient is not new.  This issue happens on reply or reply to all or froward; not a new email. What is happening?

    Cannot send email from my iPhone or iPad. The server rejects a recepient for no apparent reason.  The recipient is not new.  This issue happens on reply or reply to all or froward; not a new email to the same recepient. What is happening?

    I talked with a tech today and he said I cloud is having problems which should be resolved shortly.
    In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

  • I have an old email address that comes up when my IPad wants to backup. Can't remember the old password  My new email is on my apple account  but not on my iCloud.  How can I change my ICloud email to my new one?

    I have an old email address that pops up when I turn on my IPad and it wants to backup the ICloud. Can't remember the password for my old email so it won't back up.  My new email is on my Apple account so that isn't a problem. how can I get my new email on the
    I cloud account so I can back up my IPad?

  • HT4436 How can I transfer my odl family pack email to new iCloud id? Or add a new email account (not an alias) to my main icloud id?

    I had a family pack but now I am not able to reach my son's email account. How can I find and transfer it? Or how can I open a new email account for my son through my icloud id. Actually it seems as if there is an oprating email account under his name but e-we cannot receive any emails or cannot reach the account settings...

    Each sub-account of a MobileMe Family Pack should have been individually migrated to iCloud before August 1st last. Assuming that you didn't do this, you should be able to reactivate the address (though not retrieve its previous contents) by signing in with it in System Preferences>iCloud and enabling Mail - your son should do this on his own Mac or his own user account if he is using your Mac. It's not clear whether he will be able to reactivate the @me.com version or only get an @icloud.com version. (It would be useful to know, when he tries it.)
    If he did migrate the account to iCloud then signing in in the same way should retrieve the contents and the @me.com address should work.
    Alternatively he can just create a new Apple ID (for which he will need a new non-Apple email address) if he doesn't already have one, and sign in with that, enabling Mail and choosing a new @icloud.com address.
    You should note that in none of these cases does his account have anything to do with yours (there is no need for a Family Pack equivalent in iCloud as it's free at basic level).
    You could add an email alias to your account, but it's not a good idea as it will mix his emails up with yours and he won't be able to detach it later.

    After moving to iCloud I can only get my email through the cloud, no new emails are making it to my home computer and .mac account. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this issue?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Which OS are you using.

  • I changed my Apple ID (new email address, same account), but when I try and use my iPad, it is asking me to sign out and delete the account, losing all data.  If I do this, will it all still be there on my new ID? Thanks.

    I changed my Apple ID (new email address, same account), via the Apple website on my laptop, but when I try log into ITunes on my iPad, it still has the old ID.  It is greyed out, so I can't change it.  On researching further,  it seems I have to sign out of iTunes and sign back in using new address.  Ok so far, but when I do this, it asks if I want to delete the account and any data on the cloud.  If I do this, and sign in with changed ID, will all the data be there Or will it be lost?  Thanks for any advice.

    Sounds like apps purchased from those accounts got synced to the iPod and it is asking to log into that account to update them.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    What do yo see if yo go to the Updates Section of the App Store app?

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID to reflect my new email address but it does not allow me to change it in iCloud or my iTunes account on my iPhone.  Can anyone help me with this?

    I recently changed my email address and have changed my Apple ID to reflect that.  My itunes account will work on my PC with that new ID but my iCloud will not.  Also, my iPhone will not use my new email address for either itunes or icloud.  I don't know how to change it.
    I read that if, on your iPhone you delete your iCloud account, you just open a new one with your new email address.  Is that true, and, if you do that, do you lose your photos on your iPhone.  AND, if you lose your photos on your iPhone, will they be pushed back to your iPhone if you manually sync your phone and PC? 
    I am hoping someone out there can help!
    Thank you.

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • HT204053 there is a new email on my phone apple id when I try to make an app purchase my own apple id does not work. How does this happen and how can I change it back?

    There is a new email address on my phone in the apple id password box.  My password will not work.  How did this happen and how can I change it back?

    Of course your password shouldn't work on a different Apple ID. This can happen for many reasons, no worries, just sign out back back in using your own ID.
