You can configure your address book to save on your hard drive so that you don\u2019t have to worry about using up disk space on Apple\u2019s servers. Also, be aware that if there is a problem with your ISP or another server involved in delivering messages across the Web, it may not be possible to access your messages for an extended period of time until things are straightened out. This isn\u2019t true when using POP (Post Office Protocol) which downloads all messages from Apple before deleting them off of its server so that even with a temporary disruption in service at Apple or your ISP, you can still access your messages locally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1625754950014\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I delete a mail account from Mac?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>To <\/strong>remove an <strong>account <\/strong>in the Mail app on your Mac, open Mail <strong>preferences <\/strong>and select <strong>Accounts<\/strong>.

Then, if two different people use Macs running Mail and both have iMessage enabled on their machines, then those two users can send messages to one another by addressing their emails with the other\u2019s Apple ID. However, you wouldn\u2019t be able to send an iMessage if your email address is set up with a Hotmail or Gmail account instead of just an Apple Mail address (and they have this feature for Windows Live too). I personally don\u2019t like this \u201cfeature\u201d because it requires that we all sign in using only our Apple IDs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1635960559335\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How do I add an attachment to a message?<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Open the Mail application, or open a new message window by choosing File &gt; New Message, then choose Message &gt; Attach File\u2026Browse to select the file you wish to attach, then click OpenThere should now be an icon for your attachment at the bottom of the message windows this answer helpful<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1635960574696\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How do I get the mailbox bar at the top of my Apple Mail window to show what folder I am in?<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t a way to achieve this yet with Mac OS X\u2019s built-in feature set. There is a shareware application available from http:\/\/www.popgoesthenewblack.com called Pop Goes The New Black that adds some interesting features to Apple Mail, including one that puts the current inbox on top of the list so it\u2019s easier to find (something you wish was possible without added software).
