Can I set the position of the new mail window?

Each time I compose a new message, the new message window seems to appear at a different place, usually obscuring the main window. I would like to have it always appear to the side of the main window. Can I set this, perhaps in the property list?

Perhaps something is corrupt that is causing bad behavior for some users and so my comments are unhelpful, but here's some more data to add to this discussion: My Mail.app behaves as George Coghill described above, subsequent message windows open where the previous window was open.
For example- Close all Mail.app windows so that only the main "Message Viewer" window is open (basically, don't have any emails that you're in the middle of drafting open).  Open a new message, adjust the position as you wish, then close it.  When you open another new message, does it have the same position as the one you just adjusted?  It should.
However, for me, sometimes it would be off by a few pixels as Thomas A Reed described above.  I realized that this was because I had another compose window open in the background.  So as you troubleshoot, make sure no other compose windows are open, to remove one complication and help isolate the issue.
Side note: in cases where the original window's height fully extended across the display, the new window would be shifted over to the right only, but not down at all as some apps do (like Mac Word, annoyingly).  Another note: if you maximize the original window, subsequent windows also open maximized and unshifted.
A corollary to the paragraph immediately above is that if you open say 3 new windows, the second one will be shifted and the third one will be even more shifted.  Let's say you send all 3, and now open a new window, it has the position of the 3rd window.  Annoying.  Yes, it would be nice if it always opened new windows in the exact same position, but Apple likely won't do this since people will get confused and think they lost the window if it doesn't do the shifting.  I guess the take-away is draft one message at a time or maximize your composition windows, otherwise it's going to move :/
A band-aid solution: When a window isn't positioned how you like it, a quick/simple way to reposition it is with apps like Moom (my favorite), Cinch, Divvy, SizeUp, etc.  While I'm at it I should mention RightZoom, which makes the green zoom button behave like the Windows maximize button, and Cordless Dog Stay, which is great if you connect/disconnect your laptop to a screen causing the window positions to always get disturbed between displays.

  • Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter can be set and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)

    My main question is: Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter for that view can be set, and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)? and can I have a filter set to filter on person logged on to...
    In previous versions of Project Server, when CREATING a PWA view, we were able to apply/ define a filter for that view.  Does not seem like it is the case in Project Server 2013 Online.  And if I remember, we could also use the URL Guid_view_id. 
    Please confirm; and / or tell me how-to.
    What I was hoping to do is the following... Given that our standard that we have adopted for reporting time is 'My Timesheets' (fyi, Single Mode Entry=ON), we have some resources who have others who do it on their behalf via 'My Tasks' (ie., accomplished
    by using the 'Assignment Owner' field, accordingly).  Therefore, when entering time on someone else's behalf within 'My Tasks', we like to present the user that is logged in only the tasks that they are are assigned to update on others' behlaf.
    I know that there is another more elegant approach to doing this which may be to use the Delegation feature. But since we are trying to stick to Sharepoint Security mode for now, this is not an option for the time being.
    Any help appreciated would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Spiro,
    1- You still can define in Project Online a filter in the view settings, it is located just above the category setting. Here is a screenshot of the summary project center view:
    2- The view GUID is not anymore in the URL, since the URL triggers an action only on the webpart and not on the whole page. I agree this is annoying since it was great to send a URL with a specific view.
    3- Concerning the access to my timesheet versus my task, I'm not sure to get a full understanding but on a general way, it is much more easy to deal with those situation using categories which you cannot do with the SP permission mode.
    Hope this helps,

  • The back up is on my work computer. Can I set it up as a new iphone and then later upload the info from itunes

    Hi,
    My phone got stolen and I just got my replacement iphone 4 today. I don't have the itunes back up on my computer, but I do have it backed up at work. I want to start using th phone- can i set it up as a new phone and then update it in a few days when I get to work.
    Thanks

    Yes, but the first time you sync with a new iTunes library it will delete any iTunes media an apps from your phone and replace them with the media in the iTunes library your are syncing with (purchased apps and music can be redownloaded for free: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
    When you get to work, connect your phone to your computer, then right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and choose Restore From Backup.

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • HT1329 My large iTunes library is on an external hard drive. Can I set up iTunes on my new Macbook Pro and copy the library to it or are there any pitfalls?

    I have my large iTunes library on an external hard drive. Can I set up ITunes on my new Macbook Pro and transfer/copy this library to the internal hard drive or are there any problems I should be aware of?

    ITs an old Iomega 100gb external HD that has about 90gb of music on it. The Macbook has a 500gb HD. I would like to put the iTunes library on the internal HD so I have room to expand.

    You can copy it to the internal hard drive as long as it fits on it. How big is your library, and how big is your internal HD?
    The only thing you do not want to do is over-stuff the internal hard drive. The OS needs some space to operate correctly, so if your iTunes library uses up more than say 80 to 85% of the internal HD's available space it may not be a good idea to transfer it over.
    With that said, the internal HD will provide slightly faster access to the library than the external would, but other than that, you can point iTunes to the external drive just fine.

  • Can I change the position of the Get Info window?

    Can I change the position of the Get Info window?

    If you want to open the "Get Info" panel in the center of your screen, define the following Automator service and install it in the "Services" Folder of your User Library. This service will be available when you ctrl-click a file or folder in the pop-up menu and it will open the "Get Info" in the center of the screen.
    Open Automator and select New -> Service.
    Select: Service receives "files or Folders" in "Finder.app"
    Drag a "Run Apple script" action from the Actions pane -> Utilities onto the Workflow
    Paste the following script into the action, after (* Your script goes here *) and before "return input"
              tell application "Finder"
      activate
                        set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
      open information window of item input
                        set {i1, i2, i3, i4} to (get bounds of information window 1)
                        set position of information window 1 to {d1 + (d3 - i3 + i1) / 2, d2 + (d4 - i4 + i2) / 2}
              end tell
    Save the service and name it e.g. "centeredGetInfo". It will be installed in your library -> Services.
    Now you can ctrl-click any File or Folder, and in the Services Section of the pop-up menu you will see your new service "centeredGetInfo", also in File ->Services in the Finder, when you select a Finder item.
    You can bind this service to a keyboard shortcut in the keyboard preferences and use it like the standard "Get Info"

  • My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled.  I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?

    My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled.  I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?

    iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
    Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
    NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

  • How can I show a value according to the position of the mouse arrow ?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am changing the color of the background of some indicators according to temperature measures. Each background is linked to one temperature. I would like to show the value of a temperature when passing the arrow of my mouse over the indicator. I don't want to over charge the Front Diagram with all of the temperatures.
    Is this possible? The temperature could appear in a unique and fixed indicator, or linked to the arrow,...
    Any help would be great,
    Thanks,
    User
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Ravens and Dan,
    Thanks for your answers.
    Ravens, I would rather not use the arrow position because I need to do this overs 100 indicator, and that would be a bit long. Added to that if I need to change the positions of the indicators (whch I will) that would mean to redefine the positions of the indicators....But perhaps your solution is the only possible?
    Dan, I have taken out and simplified the piece of my program. Setting the value of the indicator to transparent except when the mouse is over the indicator could be an example of presentating the values but I still don't know how to this (without having to define the position of each box)
    Thanks again

  • Can I set up ipad in the and use in uk (uk bought)

    I bought my girlfriend an iPad mini for her 18th birthday in the uk, we are in vagas, America for when she will open the gift. Can she set it up in the US and still be able to then take it home to the uk and use it? Thanks

    Yes, but she should configure it with her UK information, Apple ID, iTunes account, email, etc. That's all done over the Internet so she only needs a wireless connection to do it. It's all prompted for at the setup when she first turns it on. Read the instructions first.

  • Can I control the position of the page background image?

    Hi All!
    My simple question: Can I control the position of the background image for example in a user-made style? I mean can I make the position of the image to center rather then tile? If it possible without editing the html code...

    To create a background image for a region create a table nested within that region using the following definition <TABLE WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" MARGIN="0" BORDER="0"> and create an image call integrated into the <TD> tag within said table.

  • For sites where Firefox remembers the password, can I set it to open the site automatically, without requiring me to click/confirm/submit etc?

    I have bookmarked several sites which require a password. Firefox remembers the password ok. When I click on the bookmark, a page comes up with the password request, already filled in, and I have to click again to open the page I'm after.
    Can I set it so that the page opens automatically, without having to click on the 'submit' button?

    You could try the Secure Login add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4429/
    The add-on provides enhancements to the login process, if you have used Opera it is similar to the Opera Wand function.
    One feature of the add-on is to provide direct login to any site from the bookmarks by using the "Secure Login Bookmarks" option.

    I have some how found out the way to get the Postion and the Org unit of the old manager. Now I am replacing the same with the new details using the Update HRP1001 Command but this is the old and not recommended method acheiving this task.
    Can anyone please suggest me any Function Module OR the BAPI to update the HRP 1001 table with the New MAnager;s Position and the Org Unit.
    Thanks...!!!
