Mail "disappears" after a period of inactivity

Since upgrading to Leopard a strange problem is occurring.
On returning to iMac after period of inactivity mail appears "open" in dock and menus appear at top of screen. However, the application just won't display anything at all. Only solution is to shut down and reboot.
Anyone else come across this? Any ideas?

I think this is what might be happening :
I think in both cases, when he is playing it overnight , his machine might be going to sleep , and his network connection to server migth be goign off. Since network connection goes off, NetConnection would be closed resulting in NetStream going out of scope which results in NaN for NetStream.time.
You can basically display error message when you connection goes down by using watching for NetConnection.Connect.Closed message in your NetConnection handler. And you can either assign display of NetStream time visually as 0 instead of NaN for better user experience.

  • The first 7 or 8 letters of a sentence are jumbled as I type. This happens only after a period of inactivity. Short or long. I start to type and a word like 'anybody', looks like this: 'ybodyan' I have done all the normal fixes. No luck. Ideas? Thx

    It's in every text-input app I use in my normal day.....most frustrating as you have to do a doublecheck especially in documents which do not have any special spellcheck system. I've done the cleanmymac, maintenance, cocktail, PRAM reset, Font Cache Smash fixes.....and still I'm dogged by this. Its almost as though the motherboard or some interface system is 'sleeping' longer than it should (if there are any input areas of the MBP which rest during short periods of inactivity) and then the initial keystrokes on the keyboard are somehow not registered and only 'kick in' once half of a new word's characters are already on the screen........grrrrr.

  • Update Panel posts back after a period of inactivity

    I have a asp.net user control in a SharePoint solution. This user control uses Telerik Asp.net Ajax controls to provide a basic datagrid CRUD operations. I use this grid in a web part on a page in SharePoint 2013.
    I have a datagrid which is wrapped with RadAjaxPanel to ajaxify it.
    It all works fine. However, let's say, I click the add new record button and it opens a form to fill, if I leave that form intact for a minute, then start to fill and submit, it does postback and cancels form.
    However, if I click on add new record and fill the form and submit, it all works fine. I guess there is a timeout somewhere which causes this, my two days of research did not help me to find it.
    I was just wondering whether you have ever come across with this issue. I guess it does not matter whether it is Asp.net update panel or RadAjaxUpdatePanel, even if you have seen this issue on Asp.net update panel, that will help too.
    I did not know what part of the code I should share, please let me know if you need any code to understand this issue.
    There must be something on SharePoint script manager, and ajax manager, but I have no idea what.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue that the form could not submit after a period of inactivity.
    As the issue only occur while leave the form for a while, how about use the JavaScript
    setInterval method to send request to the server interval?
    You can use the JavaScript setInterval method or call a random SharePoint web service to send the request to the server to keep the form active, then check whether it works.
    Thanks,

  • Mail disappears after read

    I had restore my iPad and now when I get mail it disappears after it is displayed briefly in the list. It seems to be happening on my iPhone as well. This did not happen on the pad until the restore. It is an imap account and I have checked all of the settings.

    If I have push on the message disappears. If I change it to fetch it doesn't.t happen. The downside it I will have to schedule it to poll at intervals or open the program to poll the servers. I can not imagine why anyone would want their messages to disappear after 30 seconds. It takes my brain a minute to read the message and think about it.

  • .Mac mail disappearing after while. (It is not set to.)

    I have the latest updates to Tiger and Mail.
    That's the case. Mail from .Mac seems to be disappearing after while. I have it set up to store messages on the server (both sent and deleted). I started having a sneaking suspicion when I would go to check for mail that I had previously sent or deleted and couldn't find any of it. Stuff that I KNEW should be there. It appears like Mail is deleting messages that are a month old—even though I have it set to never do this. Any ideas? I would like to stop losing my mail, or not be forced to store it all on my Mac for viewing to prevent it from being lost on the server.
    Is there some other setting besides in Mail. Maybe one on .Mac itself? Because I did not find it.
    Thanks for any help.

    FYI - you posted in the Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier Mail & Address Book discussions.
    Have you confirmed settings at Mail > Preferences > Accounts under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences?

  • Can I make my iMac restart (not logoff) after a period of inactivity?

    I have several user accounts on one iMac.
    What I want to happen is that users are logged out after a set period of inactivity and the computer restarts so that it automatically logs back in to a generic account i.e. not just back to the login menu.
    Is that possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just for the record, what I have done so far:
    - Reinstalled OsX
    - Checked the console for error messages when the system should go to sleep (-> nada)
    - Deleted com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    - SMC Reset
    - Set up a fresh user to see if problem still exists (yup, it does...)
    - Booted into Safe-Mode to see if problem still exists (yup, it does...)
    At the moment I am using PleaseSleep as a workaround, but this is not the real deal, as I cant define exceptions exactly enough (dont sleep while iTunes is running, dont sleep while sabnzb is downloading, ...)
    I am pretty sure this is related to the "Couldnt find any matches" message which occurs when System Preferences should save the energy settings (even though they are correct, when I check with pmset -g).
    man, things went really bad since the upper corners of the screen were not rounded anymore...

  • Snow Leopard - Safari and Entourage 'drop out' after a period of inactivity

    Ever since I loaded up 10.6 (and later 10.6.1), both Safari and Entourage get the beach ball when my system has been inactive for an hour or more (time based problem?). Doing resets, clearing caches etc. do not seem to have any effect. The only effective way to get Safari/Entourage back is to restart the system (I thought I had left this behind when I waved good bye to PCs). Sometimes it appears that running Network Diagnostics has cleared it but this is not absolutely reliable.
    My ISP tells me the system is up/available and it can 'talk' to my modem and they imply that it is an Apple software problem. Apple imply my modem is on the blink but get me to push some keys and the problem 'temporarily' goes away until after the next period of inactivity.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you considered using wicd?  I use it on this computer, and have had no problems with it.  However, to be fair, the packages on this pc haven't been updated for a LONG time, so it is possible that if i updated it, I'd have the same problem.  You didn't mention a wireless connection daemon, so I thought that I'd ask.

  • Run shell script after certain period of inactivity?

    So I know that I can issue this command in terminal to enable fast user switching (and effectively lock the screen).
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend
    What I want to do is have this happen on client machines after a certain period of inactivity (e.g. 15 minutes). I don't want to force a full logout via managed preferences because I want users to be able to log back in and still have everything they left open be available.
    How would I go about this?

    John's suggestion would allow another user to still log on to a computer after someone left it unattended, as opposed to just going to a locked screen saver.
    However, I would be concerned that you could very easily end up with multiple users all logged onto one machine throughout the course of a day. Since often times, people tend to forget they had stayed logged in (which is one big reason it was left unattended for so long, generally), those people may never come back and then their log in is simply taking up resources. Also, it may make it harder for them to remember exactly which computer they were logged into to begin with (since it is now on a different user).
    So, while I apologize for not actually being able to help with a solution, I'd make sure you weigh the pros and cons and see if it would truly solve what you're trying to accomplish to begin with.

  • Windows 7 Desktop goes Black after a period of inactivity and the user accesses their machine again

    Hi There,
    Wonder if someone can offer some help to an unusual problem?
    Users have Windows 7 machines which all have a desktop background theme...Blue with a company Logo.
    User will go for lunch and leave their position, after a period of time screen saver and/or powersaver kicks in...all normal at this point.
    After an hour they come back to their machine and they move the mouse/tap a key and bring the machine back to life (excuse my terminology :) ) and the desktop has gone from the default theme to a black desktop...Icons/Applications will behave fine.
    The temporary workaround is:
    1. Log off and on windows to restore the desktop back to normal.
    or...
    2. I do a restart of the service "Desktop window Manager Session Manager" which puts the desktop back to normal as well.
    Has anyone seen this and worked a way how to do a permanent fix....have struggled on Google as all answers i find are around screen savers which IS NOT the problem.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    Hi Brenton,
    First of all thanks for your quick response.
    I forgot to mention these are machines we maintain on a customer site and I am planning a visit there soon so will be looking at some of the options you mention and then post a fuller report back for you.
    In the meantime...
    Re 1 we may actually be able to consider not going to "sleep" as this is a 24/7 operation environment so would not be a big deal to do that so may try that on my site visit.
    Re 2 we do have a master build IF we need to re-build/re-image...its a fairly locked down completed environment so new machines/rebuilds wont happen often. Just for info we re-did our build from scratch very carefully.
    On site going to check the Firmware updates as you quite rightfully mention could be out-of-date and benefit from an update. We last updated them about October/November last Lear.
    I have just remembered that sometimes the users resolve the issue by using the mouse and dragging an empty box around the screen and this restores the desktop colour etc...very strange one!!
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • I have email account that mail disappears after a day or so.

    I have email disappearing after a day or so.  I have a secod email account that the email stays on the computer.

    '''Download the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Mozilla Search Reset]''' {web link}
    This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up

  • Mails disappearing after MacOSX 10.8.4 update

    Following the update to MacOSX 10.8.4, all new emails incoming from any accounts (i.e. not iCloud only) are disappearing. This affects the Mac, iPhone, iPad, etc. With Mail app shutdown, mails are coming correctly (not disappearing) on the iDevices (I can't check on the Mac...).
    Thank you a lot for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Charles

    Thank you a lot! Disabling the rules is the solution (I can't tell whether Apple's Junk Filtering has an effect as mine is Intego's own set of rules (accordingly shown as a specific rule)).
    This precise point should be further investigated if someone has the same problem and uses the built in Junk Filtering.
    Here's what happened to the 200+ emails I received since yesterday (bad for zero inbox ). They all seem to have ended up in the Spam folder.
    Re-building the mail boxes didn't have any effect (just mentioning, so that anyone who would read saves the time it takes...).
    After disabling all rules, nothing seemed to have happened, but in actual fact all files started to show up in the Spam folder (it was empty before, I've checked numerous time).
    Now, here's the strange point (to me at least): files started to appear account per account. First GMail (sorry guys... You know there has to be an account for all the junk newsletters ), then my personal domain, and eventually iCloud (possible reason: they were created in the reversed order (i.e. iCloud first)). But files from an account wouldn't appear before I moved those of the preceding account back to the Inbox (i.e. I first thought to have only recovered one account... The GMail, you understand my disappointment...). Accordingly, make sure to move the first files you find in the Spam, to see if something else isn't coming .
    Voilà. Linc, Thank you again , you rock!
    I hope this might help others with the same issue.

    Make sure that you use connection validation on your connection pool and see if that solves it.

    Hi Nikita,
    It looks like you have at least one state*ful* session ejb in your app and it is timing out. The default removal-timeout in AS7 is 5400 seconds (90 minutes). Sounds like you should double-check if you really want to have stateful session beans and if so bump up the removal-timeout-in-seconds parameter. This can be set in either server.xml or on a per-ejb basis in sun-ejb-jar.xml

  • Mail Disappeared After Shut Down

    A retired friend bought a new 21.5 inch iMac 5 months ago and twice in the past week his mail has completely disappeared. Fortunately, there is a TM backup and I have used that once to restore everything for him. The first event also took away all Address Book and iPhoto contents.
    Yesterday, he was unable to Quit or Force Quit Mail. He shut down and restarted and once again all his Mail content has gone west.
    Does Mail need to be reinstalled?
    All suggestions welcome.

    Ah, forgot, silly Apple has hiden the home Library folder in 10.7 & up...
    Access User ~/Library Folder in OS X Mountain Lion & OS X Lion
    Use “Go To Folder” and Open ~/Library/ Directly
    All you need to do is hit Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop  (or Finder > Go > Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library to temporarily access the Library directory in the Finder. When you are done, close this window and it will no longer be visible.

  • Mail disappeared after archiving to iCloud

    I archive my important emails to icloud. Just now I selected a few mails and moved them to archive on icloud. They disappeared. I cannot find them in any mailbox. Please help how to retrieve them??? I thought the idea of icloud was to save mails securely. Is there any way to access emails stored on icloud?

    I think you need to slow down and try to understand how iCloud works.
    The mail part is a standard Imap account, if it is providing different sets of data from client to client it is NOT working.
    How does a copy of your email go to Gmail.

    Are you sure that you are talking about iCloud, there is no mechanism available for you to 'keep them in sync' so tell me, what are you doing to 'keep them in sync'?
    Contacts and Calendars are DAV servers and according to you they are working, so the issue is with email only? Correct?
    You still have not answered the question I asked about whether you backup or not?
