Apple Mail Setup (change the way the view is on my end)

I need to hire someone about 13 on retainer, just to answer what I THINK should be easily answered questions. I have looked for about 15 minutes, searching for suggestions, others with similar issues, and at the end of the day, I F I N A L L Y found this 'start a discussion' button!!! Oh happy day! Now, the question that most might think ridiculously simple. On this page  http://www.apple.com/osx/apps/#mail there is a pic of an open mail application. If I wanted to setup MY mail client (which is, of course, Apple Mail) to look exactly like the image in the ad for OS X Mountain Lion (mail) how might I accomplish that task?
AND, when I just went back to that page to get the URL, I noticed it states 'Mountain Lion.' I am still running Snow Leopard, and hoping that it really might not make a difference re the mail app.
AND, since I just 'opened the door' re Mountain Lion, with my Snow Leopard running just fine (and it took a while to get there, but I kept at it, and finally have seen the 'apple bugs' fading to nil, and downloads from apple fixing any 'bugs' so I really don't want to go to Mountain Lion, unless I'm really missing the "Next Big Thing!" (thanks to Vince gill for the song title)!
And thanks, really, to anyone that can suppress the urge to laugh at the quandry, and offer real help.
(remember, there are NO stupid questions......
only stupid people!)
And yes, that is a simple pun, aimed more or less at people like me. I'm foolish enough to believe that if I spend over $2500 on a Mac, instead of spending $1100 for a high end gaggledanger PC, with a free 4Gig external hard drive with every purchase until 3/1/2013, that I might get something that was mucho mas operator friendly.
But......on the other hand, owning 4 macs by now, I DO know that I have learned enough through a local Mac/Apple tech, and online support such as here, that I can download and install programs that used to baffle me, which brings me full circle back to the "should I buy the Mountain Lion software, and is it still considered an El Cheapo upgrade (from Snow Leopard) and have all the glitches (considering that this IS ... an Apple product, and is probably immune to such clutter as any issues with names consistent with insects and other gangster type vermin which have been known to 'infect' the lesser standard PC machines?

That format was introduced with OS X 10.7, borrowing, I believe, from the iPhone. I just booted back to OS X 10.6, and couldn't find a way to get the mail column on the left with the message on the right. I can do that in OS X 10.7.
If you want to upgrade, OS X 10.7 is available by calling the online Apple store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE. OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is available from the App store. Note if you decide to upgrade to either, that you lose the ability to run PowerPC programs, as that support was dropped in OS X 10.7. People with Office 2004 found that out when it wouldn't run after the update. Later version of Office are OK.

  • Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

    Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
    In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
    So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
    How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
    Thanks,
    Wei

    Hi Hussein,
    Thank you for the response.
    Application release is 11.5.10.
    Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
    Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
    The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
    This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
    Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

  • Hate the way the new Message Center looks - Way to change this?

    After being on the old email view for a while (and having no problem with it), I was suddenly forced onto it today. I really dislike the appearance very much. I have it set up so there's a preview of the email at the bottom. However, it seems the "header" part of the email (with the email title, author, and a strange silhouette pic of a man's head) is larger than the body of the email itself. I don't know if it's because I'm on a rather small netbook computer and it would look better on an actual desktop computer, or if it's the way it's just supposed to look. It's frustrating that the email body part of the window is so tiny and I really have to scroll to see most of it.
    I looked at the appearance settings and it seems there is no way to change this. I saw there is a way to change the amount of emails on each page, so that's set at 30 (so I can easily delete old messages). Would changing this make a difference?
    I really dislike the silhouette picture of a man's head next to the sender's name and it looks like this is part of the reason why the header part is so large. Also the font of the email title is a little too large for my liking. Is there a way to make this smaller?
    I guess I sound picky, but I liked the way the old one looked better and it's hard to read the body of my emails with the header part taking up so much room (and yes, I have the "Display Email Details" option disabled, so that is not the problem). Would it look any different on a desktop computer? I'm on a netbook because I've just moved and haven't been able to get my desktop set up yet. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it and everything still looks the same in the preview pane. Oh well, hopefully I'll be back on my desktop PC soon and it will look better.

  • External List, changing the way the links and edit functions work.

    I have a External list which has a infopath edit form.  I believe the way the navigation works between the list and the edit form is neither intuitive nor proper.
    Currently my list contains an asset number as the first column which is a link that takes you to a view form in Infopath
    In order to edit
    you have to select the drop down next to the item and Select Edit or check the item and click edit on the Item part of the ribbon and click edit.  This just seems like too many steps.
    I would like to change the link in the first columns to load the Infopath Edit form without further interactions.
    I would also like to remove the view option from the drop down so the only option is to edit but that is not really an issue just a want.
    thanks in advance.
    me

    You can change default view settings and user "Edit (link to edit item)" column at first place and dont use any column associated with edit menu. Typically they are [1] Title (linked to item with edit menu)
    [2] Title (linked to item) [3] Type (icon linked to document)

  • How do I change the way the item are listed in stacks

    How do I change the way the item are listed in stacks?
    Thanks
    Joel Simkhai

    Hello Joel,
    You have some choices available by clicking and holding on the stack for a second, and there are five sorting orders to choose from.
    I picked up a tip to create an empty folder and place it in the stack, give it a fancy icon and name it 0. Then by choosing the sort order as name, that fancy icon is always at the front.

    I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network before access the internet. How do I accomplish this with apple? Please help.

    There are some other options to you, if you're not at home and nobody is using your router you could set it up at the hospital, if this isn't an option you could get a second router and use it.  Many ethernet routers are available on the cheap, and ethernet cables are cheap too.
    Also, a macbook can share it's internet via the built in wifi it has.  See this go to settings-sharing-internet sharing and configure as desired.  This may require an internet connection via ethernet.  But you should be able to create a wifi network for using something like airplay/home sharing.

    The manual showed you the area to make changes in. As I stated earlier, it has to do with Regional formats. Just like some regions use the period between dates as well. The same is true for dates. In the US, we normally would show today's date as January 10, 2015. In many European countries, it would be 10 January 2015. The same is true for time. We generally use 12-hour format, many places use 24-hour format. How it is displayed on the phone is based on the generally accepted method for the region. If on the phone you go to Settings>General>Language & Region, you can see your regional format settings. If you go under Region Formats, tap on Advanced. That gives you the option to make some other changes if you like, rather than using the regional standards.

  • Apple Mail has stopped talking to the server, or so it seem

    My Apple Mail has stopped talking to the server (Mobile Me), or so it seems. I was sending a couple of attachments the other day and too late realised that they were huge. They were PDF's I'd done, and I hadn't checked the size, so I ended up with 32Mb of attachments on a single email.
    This seemed to mess things up. I tried deleting the sending message from Mail as I couldn't seem to stop it sending, which I think I managed to do, but it kept reappearing in the drafts and deleted folders.
    I can access mail fine from Mobile Me and have managed to send what I needed from there, but now Mail doesn't seem to connect to the server (I just get the wheel), and whilst its trying my other mail accounts, which are on another ISP, disconnect.
    Mail is giving me an error message now when I try to quit: +"Some actions taken while the account "me.com" was offline could not be completed online"+. The additional info says that operation could not be completed: MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028
    Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this?
    Many thanks...

    R,
    Not looking the correct place. Home means to click on he Icon of House that represents your user account folder as found in the sidebar of every Finder window. Then in that User Library. You clicked on the hard drive icon, but then looked in the Library at its root level -- wrong Library.
    Also can be written as ~/Library.

  • Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails?

    Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails? The correct sender's name will appear in the "From" column, but an old message from a different sender in the body. This happens randomly. I have an iMac OSX 10.6.8. I recently had the hard drive cleaned, but Apple Mail seemed to be running fine when I set it up again. Could this be a virus? What should I do about it? Thanks for any insights!

    Thanks.  While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
    it out.  Appreciate the quick response!

  • Is it possible to skip Apple Mail setup assistant?

    I've deployed Office 2011 to my compay's Mac users. However, after configuring Outlook, the default reader remains Apple Mail. Now, I know that you can change this setting in Mail's preferences and I'm currently doing so. My issue is that I've removed any and all email accounts from my Users' Apple Mail, meaning I have to deal with the Apple Mail setup assitant and create a bogus email account just to access Mail's preferences to change the default reader and pushing cancel in setup quits mail. Is there away to start Apple Mail without having to go through the setup assistant?

    Bill Carter,
    Also it would be so nice to have all the formatting and compositional tools in a toolbar just about the composition window, as in Entourage or Thunderbird.
    If you have not already done so, in a New Message window, go to View Menu > Customize Toolbar. Some items can be added to the default set.
    I have no experience with the toolbars available in Entourage or Thunderbird. If you would like to suggest additional toolbar items for Mail, you could submit feedback to Apple at this link:

    I FORGOT MY IPAD4(wifi) password and it got disabled now how can i recover it?? By the way the wifi is of and the location services and find my ipad are enabled now what can i do to recover it???? PLZ HELP!!!

    Entering your Wifi password will not - unless I'm missing something completely - disable your iPad. The only thing which will disable your iPad that I'm aware of is entering your passcode for iPad incorrectly multiple times.
    If this is the case then please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have forgotten your password for your router the WPA or WPA2 key as it's also known as they you will need to log in to your Router and setup a new WPA(2) key.
