If you’re a Mac Mail user and find the automatic spell-checking feature in Mail to be bothersome or unnecessary, you can easily disable it. In this guide, we’ll show you how to turn off spell check in Mail for Mac OS X.
Step-by-Step: Turning Off Spell Check in Mail for Mac
Here’s a quick and easy way to disable spell check in Mail:
- Create a new email in Mail so that the composition window is open and active.
- In the menu bar, click on “Edit”, then navigate to “Spelling and Grammar”, and select “Check Spelling” followed by “Never”.
This will completely remove the spell-checking feature from Mac OS X Mail, regardless of your system-level settings.
However, if you still want the option to manually check your spelling, you can do so by returning to the “Spelling and Grammar” menu and selecting “Check Document Now” or using the shortcut Command +; (semicolon) when the composition window is open.
Alternatively, you can also disable spell check in Mail through Mail Preferences. Simply go to Mail Preferences > Composing > Check Spelling > Select “Never”.
Note that some Mac applications have separate spell-checking features that can override system-level auto-corrections. If you’d like to turn off spell check on other devices like iPhones and iPads, refer to the system-level settings rather than individual app settings.
