"Correct Spelling Automatically" box is checked in Keyboard settings. "Check Spelling As I Type" is checked in in Mail preferences.

With the proper boxes checked, why is iMac Mail not correcting misspellings in emails? Auto-correct is working in Safari when I type this post. On my Macbook Air I am getting autocorrect when typing up emails. On my iPhone it is working. Why not on iMac Mail? Anyone have any ideas?

  • You also need 'Correct Spelling Automatically' set in Mail. It's not global.

  • Where are you finding that setting? I only see "check spelling automatically as I type."

  • Thx. For some reason that option is greyed out and not available to me.

  • It's only available when you have an email open that you're about to send
