2 Qs PRIMARY Q: Should one compact before deleting TB email or vice versa

HELLO, MY PRIMARY QUESTION: Apparently compacting is part of deletion. But should one Compact before Deleting TB email or Vice Versa OR does it matter which comes first?
SECONDARY NOTE & QUESTION;i have read the article on compacting but still do not know exactly what this word means- (e.g. does it means compressing & why is it absolutely necessary for deletion? In this regard the TB compacting article says in PERTINENT part; "IF the message is marked as DELETED or moved, Thunderbird SKIPS that message and moves onto the next message." The preceding quote would seem to say that compacting is not part of deletion, yet i know (or think I know) that both deleting a email and compacting it are necessary for its TOTAL DELETION in TB. Can anyone explain this seeming contradiction? ( I used to use Outlook and i do not remember the term "compacting" with that system).
ANY ANSWER TO EITHER QUESTION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

Deleting a message marks it for deletion and hides it. Compacting actually removes it and frees up the disk space. Delete then compact.
Despite the poorly chosen name compacting has nothing to do with compressing files as in zipping them.

  • Is it necessary that 'we should select count(*)' before deleting the recor

    hai..
    i need to delete a record in my application for that i wrote a pl/sql process shown below....

    why we need to select count(*) from table.... if we are trying to delete a record that is not available in table... how can we handle that Exception???? Also is it necessary that 'we should select count() before deleting the record from table.....*
    plz clarify me....
    anoo..

    Hello Anoo,
    You can modify the foreign key constraint to ON DELETE CASCADE. Then the child automagically is deleted as well. Otherwise you need two (or more - depending on the number of childs ...and childs of the childs etc) statements. Remember that SQL%ROWCOUNT only returns the number of rows of the last SQL statement issued!
    BTW : You are allowed to mark answers as 'Correct' or 'Helpful'.... ;-)

  • Checks before deleting data connection in Infopath 2010

    I have one form which has more than 80 fields and about  7 sections. This form was published to PROD before year back now client found some performance issues while opening/submitting form.
    I checked and found one retrieve data connection is culprit. Now i want to delete that connection and create different one, but before deleting it, i have to find out all the references of this connections i.e- check where any columns used in rules, default
    values or validations etc.
    It's difficult and time consuming task to check each and every field in the form. Is there any easy trick to do this?
    w: sandippatilblog.blogspot.com/

    Found the solution, here below are the check
    1: Run Rule Inspector, for this go to DATA-->Rule Inspector form toolbar
    2: Delete the connection and try to publish the form, if form contains any rules or default value corresponding to deleted connection then form will not get published. It will give prompt to check errors, for this check the form using design check and see
    errors, then find the references about the errors on the form.

  • My internet accounts preference does not recognize that I have deleted an email address.  It wants to connect to deleted email to send out, HELP

    My email internet accounts does not recognize that I have deleted an gmail account.  It wants to connect before it sends a message.  How do I change this?  I thought I changed all my settings to reflect my new mail address - but I must have missed one.

    That was a bit of a bonehead move.  Did you actually change the email address associated with the Apple ID before deleting the email account?

    That's another bad idea.
    mikeyg0 wrote:

    Yeah, because the email associated with the Apple ID is deleted and the account is having issue.
    Stop using the new Apple ID.
    Log into the original Apple ID.  Change the email address associated with the Apple ID.
    It should then be possible to update the apps associated with the original Apple ID.

  • If I delete an email from my phone, it also deletes off of husbands- how do I stop this? We have different iCloud's, just same emails for business reasons.

    We each have an iPhone 4. We each have our own iCloud accounts. We share many email accounts due to having several self-owned businesses. When I erase an email I don't need, it erases off of his phone. They are often emails he needs. I don't understand why this is happening- never been an issue before.

    We never had this problem before, have had the same email accounts loaded on each iPhone for years. Now all of a sudden it's an issue. I'm disliking the new operating system more every day. First it was the maps, now this. So is there no solution? We each have our own clouds, so why are the emails disappearing? It's not like we are deleting from the actual sites. This is very frustrating, & we have limited technical background/experience but I am able to figure most things out.
    I should be able to delete an email, which is downloaded to my phone, without it deleting off of his. And visa versa. Because if I go to yahoo.com or gmail from my laptop, they are still on the main sites. How do I "unlink"? I don't even see how they are doing this?! The settings do not indicate there is sharing between the devices. :(

  • HT201320 how do i delete the email thats on mail now to put a new email address in?

    how do i delete the email address thats already in mail on a ipad to a new email address?

    You should be able to delete an email account from the iPad by selecting it on the right-hand side of Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then tapping the Delete Account button on the popup, and there should also be an Add Account button on the right-hand side of that Settings screen

  • Deleted Account -- emails disappeared

    A couple days ago, I deleted an Account under Preferences in Mail (since I couldn't use that server to send or receive messages anymore), and now all the messages sent to me at that address are gone from my Inbox. In retrospect, that might be somewhat logical, but I swear there was some kind of reassuring message when I was deleting the Account that said it wouldn't delete messages I'd already received at that Account. Can I get those messages from the deleted Account back?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Before deleting an email account in Jaguar or Panther Mail, the following warning message is provided (the warning message with Tiger Mail is slightly different):
    Are you sure you want to remove the account “XXXXXXXXX”?
    This will erase all mailboxes for this account, but will not affect any messages stored on your mail server.
    Existing messages on the mail server are not affected but all associated account mailboxes in Mail are deleted when deleting the account.

  • Unable to delete iCloud email alias

    I am unable to delete my iCloud email Alias sucessfully.
    I have 3 alias at the moment. Two of it is correct and I am going to use it. The third was created wrongly(named spelt wrongly) and I tried to delete it. The moment i click the delete button and re-confirmed at the prompt, nothing happen. If you close the Settings menu and go back to the main interface, the alias itself is not found when u compose an email.
    BUT when you sign out of iCloud, the alias you have deleted will return. If you go back to the menu right after deleting the alias earlier on, there will be an error which always appears when i repeat it(report sent to apple everytime) stating internal inconsistency error or something like that.
    Now if you untick the box for "send and receieve.." for that particular alias, yes the alias itself will disppear from the list of aliases when i compose a new mail.
    BUT NOW there's another bug which comes with this - when i navigate to my iPhone's mail and compose a new mail(through iCloud, i had it enabled on my phone), the alias which i have deactivated just now still REMAINS and in fact i can even send email from it! So much for deactivation.
    I find it ridiculous to pay for support through Express Lane Support for this which does not belong to me(not like its a phone, duh), so i hope apple is actually looking at this and find a fix for it.
    And yes, i want my deleted alias to finally be deleted.
    PS: Im using Windows 7. Issue occur on both Firefox and IE

    I filed a bug report weeks ago with Apple about this issue with the iCloud Mail app crashing when one tries to delete an email alias. Apple has yesterday closed the ticket, telling me that the issue is not a bug but rather a "support" issue.
    In the interest of moving toward a solution for all those affected by the issue, I hope that someone who has access to free Express Lane support will take the time to see what support will do about the problem. Free Express Lane support is available to anyone who has purchased Apple hardware in the last 90 days or who has current AppleCare coverage. If someone does contact Apple support regarding the issue, please report back here so that the rest of us can know whether support reps are able to fix an affected account.
    Thanks.

    What type of account did you set-up on the iPad, POP, IMAP, the items on your iPad could have downloaded off the server or you will need wait awhile for the message to update to the iPad.

  • TS3899 My ipad does not communicate with iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting should be changed?

    My ipad does not communicate with my iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting needs to be changed?

    It's my understanding that an iPhone can only sync with one computer. You need to choose one computer. Sounds like it syncs at work, but not at home. If you want to just sync it at home, then you have to make sure the home computer has all the info that you want on it, like music etc. Then you have to deauthorize the work computer for it to sync at home. When you connect it will ask if you want to set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. If you don't have a backup on the home computer then either way you will be wiped clean. So any photos, contacts, notes etc you have will be erased. You would need to backup or copy your photos from your iPhone. When you connect it to your home computer, it will give you that popup message to open your iPhone files. Then you can copy those photos and save them onto your computer and sync them back in through iTunes.
    For your contacts, do you use any type of address book? If so you'll want to back that up and then transfer to your home computer. For notes, you can just email those to yourself and then save that email. I use MobileMe so the contacts issue is easily resolved.

  • How can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?

    Good afternoon friends.
    Please help me and tell how can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?
    I started using Apple ID in 2011 when iCloud was not exist and was forced to use non-apple e-mail adress as primary ID.
    So I used GMail mailbox.
    When iCloud was started I created my account but unfortunatelly can't remove this Gmail address from my Apple ID and replace it with icloud mail address.
    I was VERY dissapointed because I don't want to use "outside" mailbox to get letters from Apple and ny ID.
    In fact I see the Apple old users and fans discrimination.
    When creating new user accounts are free to create a box on the iCloud mail and use it as a primary ID, and the only ONE.
    At the same time the old user is obliged to keep third-party mail box like Gmail etc. as the primary and can not get such an opportunity, as a new user
    This is extremely inconvenient and a VERY strange logical.
    For example, now I want to stop using this mailbox on Gmail but I can not do that because in this case I lose access to my ID, or run the risk that someone in the future will create a box with the same name on Gmail (when name will be free and available) and will automatically get access to my accounts on Apple and to my Apple ID.
    Now, to avoid this, your team, I offer the only way out: ID, create anew.
    Of course it's possible, but then:
    - I lose all my purchases for 3 years and will be forced to make them again and pay money for the second time for my purchases
    - Lose access to the familiar iCloud e-mail address who now serves as secondary ID because this e-mail address is almost no longer available and will never be released in future.
    And now answer me for ONLY TWO questions:
    - WHERE IS LOGIC?
    - WHAT ABOUT TO BE FRIENDLY FOR YOUR USERS AND FANS?
    Thank you!
    Hopefully for your GOOD answers.

    You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
    If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • How do I stop calendar from setting a second alert one day before?

    I have iOS 7.0.6 with calendar synced to my gmail account with CalDAV. When I create a new event in the calendar on my iphone, I set either a single alert or none. When I check back a few seconds later, the alert I set has become the "second alert," and the first alert is set to "one day before." Google calendar correctly shows a single alert, the one I set. If I then delete the first alert, it stays deleted. But then if I edit the even in google calendar, the "one day before" alert reappears on the iPhone. (Though still not on Google calendar.)
    It's driving me batty with all of these false alarms that are actually for tomorrow's activities. Is there a way to set alarms in iOS 7, or is that just a sacrifice we have to put up with to fix the iOS SSL bug? Should I set the current date in my iPhone to be one day late? 

    Settings > Mail Contacts, Calendars.
    Scroll down to Calendars and this sets default alert times.
    If you add an alert to a new appt, it is in addition to the default alert time.
    Either turn off default alert time or set the default alert time to when you want you want & don't add alert to the event when you create it

  • Into my download stack which appears to be a Facebook login page to someone who is not me but has my e/mail as the primary account,should I be concerned?

    I have clicked on a link received in my e/mai which has put a download  into my download stack which appears to be a Facebook login page to someone who is not me but has my e/mail as the primary account,should I be concerned?

    I would do the following just to be safe.
    Change your email password so anyone trying to use your email address won't be able to or delete that email address from where ever you got it after getting a new one.
    I would trash the download.
