Block incoming messages.

PLEASE tell me there is a way to block incoming messages while on the phone... SO incredibly frustrating and distracting. Especially while on important calls.

If there were, only your carrier could do so, but there isn't anyway to do this. Flip the Ring/Silent switch while on a call.

Block incoming messages without blocking users?

Is there a way to block incoming messages on iChat (so that no conversation bubbles pop up) but not block users or appear invisible? I'd to have my away message visible to everyone, but not have messages pop up.

Hi,
You can turn On Auto Decline.
Go to iChat > Preferences > Alerts
Select Text Invitation in the top drop down
Tick the AppleScript Box
Select Auto Decline form the AppleScript drop down.
Chax lets you reply with specific auto Away messages.
In iChat you can Auto Reply with the Away message (Set in the General Section)
But these will not be sent if the first setting is chosen as the invite will be declined.

TS2755 iMessage is blocking incoming messages

Original problem - messages sending from my Apple ID. For some reason, I could not see incoming messages, even from iPhone users. Then, for some reason, one of my Android contacts suddenly switched to an iMessage conversation. They could see my messages (from my Apple ID). I took the Apple ID email address of of send/recieve so that it is just my number
New Problem - My android contact now remains blue as if they have iMessage. I turned off iMessage and it fixed it but then I could not recieve incoming texts from iPhone users. If I turn iMessage back on, the Android contact is back to blue (iMessage) and I cannot recieve their texts again.
Is there a way to switch this Android contact back to SMS only and keep iMessage on? This has only been a problem since upgrading to iPhone 5s with iOS7.

A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.
iOS7.0.3 will be available next week that resolves this issue.

Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts?

Please help!!To whom it may concernDear Madam/Sir who works for Skype & Microsoft Dear all who can really help, Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts? or Do you have any solution to solve my problem from begin to now in present time? Even though, I set the Privacy settings: - Allow calls from... "people in my Contact list only"- Automatically received video and share screens with "people in my Contact list only"- Allow IMs from "people in my Contact list only" I still received unknow users sent me messages in every day, contact requests etc. And they're all clearly spammings and identity thefts. I only wanna contact with my family and my freinds here with Skype via my Windows device and my mobile phone (w/Android OS). And this is the only way to contact with them, because they could use Skype only in overseas. BUT I don't need new friend from other unknow Skype member. I keep blocked all unknow spammers in every day. However in this morning, I feel so scared with Skype on my mobile, I looked at my mobile Skype, I saw it automatically showed me the list of all blocked members. BUT they were all unblocked (contact unblocked) by my mobile (Android version) Skype itself automatically, and listed them one by one on the screen, and about 30 seconds later, they all were disappeared suddenly. I don't know what do to now, is it indicating my account was hacked?And how could I found out all those members again and block them again and delete all of them for ever? I appreciate if you would improve the privacy protection. Thank you very very very much.

Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
thxs!

Using BPM (Blocks) when Incoming message has multilple rows

Hi All,
I am using BPM in my scenario.I have a message with multiple rows coming.I want to check for a condition for each row of the incoming message.I am trying to use a block(Mode: For Each) and using a switch step inside this block.But in a block if u want to check for each line, we need to define a multiline container element as Source Interface message.Since I am already having multilple rows, I cannot give multiline option.Can someone give me some example scenarios where this type of scenarios are handled.
Thanks in Advance.
Soumya

Hi,
Here I am picking a file with multiple rows
The Sender Message Type structure is
<ns:File_MT xmlns:ns="http://File/send">
<recordset>
    <Slno />
    <Goods_Receipt_Date />
    <Material_Code />
    <Quantity />
    <Plant_Code />
    <Storage_loc />
    <Batch_Number />
    <PO_Number />
    <Item_Number />
    <Special_Stock_Indicator />
</recordset>
</ns:File_MT>
Here the row recordset has multiple occurences.
For my BPM I have defined an Abstract Message Interface of similar structure.
1)I am using a receive step to receive the message.
2)I am using a transformation step for structure change.
3)Then I have to check a condition whether each of the fields, ie material number,plant code etc are null or not.
I am using a switch for that.In the switch I have 2 branches-for error records and correct records.
Now in the eror record branch, I want to append error records to a container using a container operation and finally send it to another system.
Since my Source message is already having multilple rows.ie 0...unbounded for recorset, I can't define a multiline for container operation.The container operation expects a multiline container element when using append statement.
How should I go about this?Should I define a Loop after the transformation step?
Can you give me any example scenarios where transformation steps are used to change a source message with mutilple rows are used?I referred the FlightBooking Example, http://sap.com/xi/XI/Demo/Agency-SplitMultiplebookingOrder but in that they are not using the MessageTypes which are already defined, in the mapping.
Can anyone help?
Thanks and Regards,
Soumya.

Quoting/threading phenomena in mail.app -- due to problems in incoming messages?

Folks:
Mail 5.1 on MacOS 10.7.x
I began using Mail.app when I installed 10.7, shortly after the initial release.
No problems with respect to unformatted email or replying to short, trivial length formatted message. For complex, on-going discussions I feel that consistent and reliable quoting and threading behavior are essential.   But that is not happening in some cases. I'd like to figure out why, and what I might do to fix the issue.
(Note: I do not want to get into a discussion here of formatted versus unformatted email. Both have their pros and cons. Nor do I want to spend a lot of time debating this issue with my correspondents. As a matter of courtesy, I set Mail.app to respond using the same message format as the original message.)
When I reply to a formatted email, I notice that mail.app sometimes draws a dark grey box --with rounded corners-- around one or more incoming paragraphs, placing a circled "X" "close icon" at the upper left.   I don't get it. To what does this correspond? Why does mail.app mark-off this text and offer a "close icon"?   As far as I know I'm not doing anything that implies I might want to delete the text.
(Note: Rummaging around in the corresponding message source, it seems that these boxes correspond to blockquoted text in the received message.)
Editing within one of these boxes is really unpredictable. Sometimes I can select an insertion point and insert a line-break, in preparation of replying to the text just above. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes I can select text, and cut it. Sometimes nothing happens at all to the selected text.
Mail.app commonly doesn't correctly increase the quoting level in such paragraphs. Using
    Format> Quote Level>Increase
to maintain threading history manually is fairly easy since I've defined a function-key shortcut, which works some of the time -- but the effect of this command is unpredictable. Sometimes this command deletes the selected text entirely. (Grrrrrr!) The workaround I've found is to select smaller chunks of text. In such cases, this command generally works correctly.
Meanwhile, messages from exactly one person --who uses gmail exclusively-- are displayed in a completely unique threaded format by mail.app. The entire short history of 5 messages from him are displayed on multiple virtual sheets in one message window, with the latest first.    In one view, clicking on the "see more" link at the bottom of his messages unleashes a cool-looking accordion opening effect and displays my part of the thread. (I guess. I don't totally understand this display concept. But it looks very cool and seems to handle quoting and threading pretty well.)
What's going on?
My best guess is that mail.app is struggling with "inconsistencies" in the incoming messages from different people using various email clients. I seem to recall reading that email tech specs are a hodgepodge of evolving and contradictory standards. Is that correct?   Is that the root of my issue?
Many of my correspondents are non-tekkies and/or non-affluent, and they use whatever email client they can afford. Some could be using really old email clients. That doesn't help, right? Are blockquotes a really archaic formatting measure?
When these problems occur, they can cost me a lot of time and trouble. It's really distracting to have to deal with portions of the incoming message disappear.
I don't think it is practical to persuade my correspondents to upgrade their email clients. Some of them have trouble simply setting the preferences to support quoting.   Threading is a difficult concept for a few.
Any suggestions?   Any mail.app preference settings I might try adjusting? Any add-ins?   Is it possible to tell Mail.app "interpret all incoming blockquotes tags as simple breaks" or strip them entirely? Or ...?
TIA

haavee:
Thanks for your reply on this thread.
And thanks for the confirmation: Yes, often difficult, and completely unworkable in some cases.
To my surprise, I've been able to find very few people reporting similiar observations. Very little about this issue at all on the web.
I looked for command-key variations on Format --> Make Plain Text, hoping for a block action, but none I tried was any different.
Here is my current view of the issue:
• For formatted messages, each email client operates differently. If there is a standard it seems to be no more robust than "use simple HTML for formatted messages".
• The "can't insert" issue, as well as those mysterious rectangle-surrounded blocks, seems very correlated with the presence of html <div> sections in the message. It is awkward to experiment, so I've only done a limited amount. My observations so far:
-- I don't think you can insert text anywhere "inside" a <div>, and mail.app seems to treat <div> as a "sticky" attribute -- e.g/ very difficult/impossible to remove without deleting the text inside. The copy-style method doesn't seem to affect <div> tags.
-- Based on one case, it appears that message bodies composed of back-to-back <div> sections are impervious to inserts anywhere. (The email client used by one particular person with whom I've corresponded seems to build messages out of --you guessed it-- back-to-back <div> sections. Putting on my HTML coders hat -- I cannot see any sense at all in doing this. Smells to me like a kludge/hack, as you prefer.)
• What about an applicable mail.app add-in? I can find mail.app add-ins, but it seems the mail.app tech info (API) isn't public, so those that exist are based on guesswork about how it works. This means that add-ins must be re-tooled possibly for each new version of mail.app. Altogether, not encouraging for add-in developers. And, yes, consistent with that the range of functionality I've seen is rather limited. So, I've given up looking in the add-in category.
• Applescript has commands for controlling mail.app generally, but I didn't see anything approaching the level of function necessary to remove <divs> by global search-and-replace. (I'm far from an Applescript expert, so it is very possible I missed something.) Nor did I see any general command such as Clean up dodgy HTML in message. (I can dream!)
The only bit of progress I've had is finding TextSoap: http://www.unmarked.com/textsoap/ which may have promise. But I have had no time to evaluate it and it may be a month or so before I get a chance to check it out.
Looking at the upper right of the window in which I'm composing this message, there's a button "HTML" that lets me see --and edit-- the underlying HTML. On first glance, there's not enough functionality to, say, efficiently clean up all insert-resistant blocks in a message, but it looks practical to clean up individual blocks, and maybe that's all it would take.    Though I imagine that the user base for these forums is not very different from that of mail.app, I'm guessing adding this function to mail.app isn't even a dim possibity. Oh, well...
I note you are happy with your solution, so I'll try see if a variation of it might help me.
Thanks,

Recently Firefox posted a note when I opened Facebook. "Something" regarding profile pictures on incoming messages. I clicked on it and now cannot get the pictures back. How can Firefox reverse this?

Cannot restore profile pictures on incoming messages in Facebook. At a recent point Firefox flashed a note saying they were "deleting or removing" something from my FB and I thought it was for one thing only. But now ALL profile pictures on incoming messages in FB are not there. Facebook does not help at all.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Exchange 2007 Block incoming meeting requests?

Hello,
Is there any way to block incoming meeting requests on an Exchange 2007 server and have it send a message back saying the server doesn't accept said requests? I know it can be done in Outlook with a rule but we would like to block them
at the server for any requests, not just a couple of users.
Thanks

You could look at hub transport rules. I cant remember if 2007 allowed a rule based on a message class.
I would also disable the processing of external meeting requests for mailboxes:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996340(v=exchg.80).aspx
Use the ProcessExternalMeetingMessages parameter to specify whether to process meeting requests originating outside the Exchange organization

My mac mail tells me there are 168 incoming messages but then only receives six

My mac mail tells me there are 168 incoming messages but then only receives six
I'm using the latest version of mail but not very good in dealing with computer problems. My email supplier is Bt Internet.
Can anyone help

I have seen something similar once. A message on the mail server was corrupted and the download would never complete, but would always start the next time I launched Mail. It was the oldest message, so Mail always started with it, blocking all other mail. Deleting the file on the server was the solution. Don't know if that fits your situation. Good luck. BTW, I called my ISP's tech support and they watched the server's actions and could see that the file was not actually transferring. Give yours a call.

Blocking incoming calls

Good Afternon. Would someone please explain the 10 phone number limit for blocking incoming calls? I have used Vonage [which has no limit] Optimum on line [100 limit] Time Warner [30 limit and it cleared the list every 90 days] Fios only offers me 10 ? Are you aware of the problem with telemarketers? I don't think so. I'd like Fios to be more proactive in allowing me to defend the peace and quiet of my home, by expanding this area. It's quite pitiful compared to other vendors I have used, and it is the Main reason that I am not renewing my contract with Fios when we are done. Thank you.

*60 (Call Block) is the easiest way to block an incoming caller, however to my understanding only local, landline numbers can be blocked with *60. To use it, simply dial *60 and follow the prompts. But call Verizon first to set up a monthly subscription or you will be charged per use charges which can really add up.
A really great option which I have on my landline phone is called Do Not Disturb. You can make a list of up to 15 phone numbers which are the only people who can get through to you when you have DND turned on. (You can turn it on and off anytime you want through an 800 number.) NO other calls, including telemarketers, "unavailable" numbers, etc. can get through. If you have home voice mail you can choose to send the blocked calls to your voice mail so they can leave a message. Otherwise they will get a recording saying "The party you are calling does not wish to be disturbed at this time." There are also two other rejection messages you can choose.
Also you can choose a 4 digit pin to give to people you want to be able to get through but I have never used that option; I just put them on the "allowed numbers" list.

Blocking incoming Restricted Calls

Hello!
Does anyone know how to block incoming restricted calls? I have gotten an unusal amount in the past week; no one ever answers or leaves messages. I am starting to get concerned and a little nervous. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated thanks!
thank you so much!!

You have to pay $4.99/month for the 20 number call blocking plan. Apparently in that add on, there is an option to block, restricted and unknown calls from coming through.

Blocking incoming collect calls

Hi,
This was asked by one of my students. Can anyone help answer it?
"I would like to block incoming collect calls in the voice gateway,
but I'm using R2 digital E1. I need to check the destinations numbers, and depends of the number, It’ll accept or reject the collect calls.
On the last PVT of Unified communications in Brazil, some people commented of to do this block do with TCL scripts with Double-Answer, but I don’t know much about TCL script."
Thanks, Janine

Janine,
if i understand your requirement correctly..you can reject the call using translation rule and mapping to dial-peer.
Reject call on voice router
voice translation-rule 100
rule 1 reject /xxxxxxxxxx/
voice translation-profile reject
translate calling 100
voice-port x/x/x:23
translation-profile incoming reject
First, create a translation rule that will identify the incoming call:
voice translation-rule 100
rule 1 reject /2124290000/
rule 2 reject /4089988472/
voice translation-profile call_block_profile
translate calling 100
dial-peer voice 111 pots
incoming called-number .
call-block translation-profile incoming call_block_profile
call-block disconnect-cause incoming invalid_number
Then place that translation profile into your inbound dial-peer. It you don't have one defined, create one using the incoming called-number dial-peer command, as so:
The call-block command allows the gateway to give a disconnect message rather than just a fast busy.

Block Incoming Emails

Hello,
I have a solaris 10 machine running Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-8.01 . I'm using this server only to send email , not to receive. I have another server for Incoming emails.
I Want to block incoming emails from outside domains on the SMTP out server, thus I added "tcp_local|*|tcp_intranet|* $N$D30|you$ are$ not$ allowed" under "ORIG_SEND_ACCESS" mapping table, then restarted messaging service.
This rule did not work for unknown reasons, I can keep sending emails from outside IPs or domains to inside users using the SMTP out server.
Note that there's a similar rule to stop relaying tcp_local - tcp_local and it is working perfectly.
Any help is appreciated.
