Can't set the Account field to my .mac alias name

I am using Mac Mail 1.3.11 (Panther) here and have a .mac account. When I compose mail, the Account field in the header only allows me to select my main .mac account name. This seems to defeat the purpose of alias's - if I have to send mail from my root account name.
Any suggestions? Or do I have to shell out the $$ to buy Tiger for this computer too, just to enable alias's?
Thanks

Do you see the aliases in the account field and are they grayed out, or just nothing there to choose from?
The $$ for Tiger would bring you a lot more then just the alias thing solved (although there is no guarantee this will solve it), but of course it's your own choice.
I'm composing this from 10.4.6, not sure if there are differences in 10.3.9:
Open Preferences from within the Mail program and note the exact settings for your email accounts.
Quit Mail
Drag the following file to the desktop:
your home directory / Library / Preferences / com.apple.mail.plist
Restart Mail
Re-install your mail settings for at least one account
These actions will not interfere with your mailboxes, it will simply create a new plist preference file when you re-start Mail.
If that did not help, you can place back the .plist file so you have all your account settings back.

  • How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes?

    In applescript...
    In another app - I have copied a song title to the clipboard...
    Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to the clipboard contents?
    Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes window?

    Hi Rev Dave,
    Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to
    the clipboard contents?
    Unfortunately the only way I can think to achieve this involves the use of "UI Scripting". The other previous posters have given you the preferred method you should consider using. If you want to script iTunes so that you visually see the search take place in iTunes you'll need to use the method shown in the script I've posted below.
    Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes
    window?
    Cyclosaurus has given you the answer to this part of your question already.
    Here is a script that (though ugly IMHO) should achieve what you are asking for:set theSearch to (the clipboard) as string
    tell application "iTunes"
    activate
    set allPlaylists to playlists
    repeat with aList in allPlaylists
    if name of aList is not "Library" then
    set view of front browser window to aList
    exit repeat
    end if
    end repeat
    set LibList to playlist "Library"
    set view of front browser window to LibList
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "iTunes"
    if "iTunes" is not in name of windows or ¬
    focused of window "iTunes" is false then ¬
    keystroke "1" using command down
    keystroke tab
    keystroke theSearch
    end tell
    end tellIn order for the above script to work you need to have "Enable access for assistive devices" enabled in the "Universal Access" section of the "System Preferences" application.
    If you have any further questions about the above script feel free to ask.
    Hope this helps...

  • How can I set the date field to auto populate the current date?

    I have many forms to create where the current date dictates a specific change in options or conditions for the form filler to follow. I cannot see any way to handle that issue. Is it possible to simply set the current date as a default?

    Sorry, we currently do not support having today's date show up in a date field by default

    From the Mail menu bar, select

    Drag the signature to each of the desired accounts in the list on the left. If you want it to be the default signature added to all messages sent from that account, select the account, and then select from the Choose Signature menu at the bottom of the dialog.

  • How can I set the field ICt in component table of the Tasklist as "Input" ?

    Hi experts,
    How can I set the field ICt (BOM's Item Category (POSTP)) in component table of the Tasklist as "Input" Status (The system is in gray now).
    I can define the different Category value by IB01 or IB02,then I can select them at the Tasklist's component table.But sometimes I need batch input such as LSMW,so pls kindly tell me how to setup it,thanks!
    Yinjun

    Hi,
    BOM is created with some component and item category.
    In task list when you go to component, in normal case one selects and copies BOM over there by clicking component selection button.
    Once BOM is copied over there the BOM item category will get copied. As it is BOM item category in Task list it is greyed and it will get copied automatically from BOM.
    You specify item category required by you in IB01 or IB02 and then use that BOM in task list. Go to componenet tab and click component selection button. Once BOM is copied over there the BOM item category will get copied

  • Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?

    Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?  Doesn't appear to be a property.  I don't see a programmatic method.  I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person
    doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    >>Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?
    I am afraid you could not. In Web applications, the tab order is set automatically and cannot be changed.
    (From
    https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Set-the-tab-order-for-controls-3d7f749c-5a53-42b2-bb0e-2323fa044e2e)
    >> I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.
    The goto method is a workaround, but it should be triggered by a specific event. What I can figure out is changing the order of the fields.
    If this is a feature you want to include in future versions of Access Web app, please submit a feedback as the picture below:

  • Can i set  the same email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?

    I got an email account which is currently POP, it was setup on my MacBook, iPhone and iPad. Since POP cannot sync the read email, every time i have to read them on three devices - MacBook, iPhone and iPad, or it shows loads of unread mails.
    I heard IMAP can solve this problem, but after set the email account up as IMAP, loads of my emails lost! Luckily most of those emails are restored from Time Machine. IMAP is too dangerous, so i changed back to POP.
    Now i'm still surffering from read emails three times, i wonder anyway to fix this problem? can i set the email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?
    Many thanks,
    X

    Normally, at least all smartphones I've used, do not delete things from the server. The Email programs on phones know enough not to delete emails you delete on the phone from the email server so you can still get them on your computer. I personally don't need or want all my emails on my phone. It is good to check emails and reply it ones that need a reply right then but otherwise I want them on my computers. Using IMAP on phone/pad may not act the same as POP and may interact with the server differently, deleting email I don't want on my phone from the server.
    I do have one IMAP email address on my phone, Google with Google Mail. All others access the servers with POP.

  • How do you set the From field in Mail?

    Is there any way to set the From field in messages. I have two email addresses:
    an .edu address at an university
    a .net at my ISP
    I’d like the From field to be my .edu addreess. Mail sent to my .edu address is forwarded to an address of my choosing, which happens to be my .net address. I would, however, like to keep my .net relatively hidden so I can change ISPs. We did that year switching from cable to DSL.
    I tried changing Mail Preferences->Accunts->Email Address
    to my .edu address. That, however, did not work. My DSL provider ignored the Email Address field and inserted my .net address in the from field. (I believe this method worked when I had a cable ISP.)

    Since my last post, I found tried putting
    Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
    would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
    Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
    The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
    Cannot send message using the server
    The sender address (my .edu address) was rejected by the server
    I had this working at some time, but not now. Help, please.

  • How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
    flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How can I set the data binding between Web Dynpro & Database table

    Dear friend,
    I am a beginner of Web Dynpro. I want to develop my simple project like these:

    2. Create my own Web Dynpro Project, and create the input fields as User ID, User name, User position and icon 'Save' on the selection screen and I have deployed it already.
    For the process, I want to input data at the screen and save the data in the table, please give me the guide line like these:
    1. How can I set the data binding between Web Dynpro and Database table ?
    2.  Are there any nescessary steps that I will concern for this case?
    Sorry if my question is simple, I had try  to find solution myself, but it not found
    Thanks in advances,

    Hi,
    You can write your own connection class for establishing the connection with DB.
    Ex:
    public class  ConnectionClass {
    static Connection con = null;
    public static Connection getConnection() {
    try{
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/TSPAGE");
    con = ds.getConnection();
    return con;
    }catch(Exception e){
    return null;
    You can place the above class file in src folder and you can use this class in webdynpro.
    You can have another UserInfo class for reading and writing the data into the DB .

  • In EIC, how can we set the SLA of a subcategory to none SLA-related.

    Hi Experts,
    This is our current setup in EIC...
    Category 0501 has an SLA of 8 hours. Subcategory 050101 has to be none SLA relevant. But if we put zero or blank to the SLA Target Value field, it will automatically have a due date defaulted to today. If we will not indicate 050101 on the configuration, it will have the 0501 SLA of 8 hours.
    How can we set the 050101 SLA off?
    The path: IMG --> Personnel Management --> Employee Interaction Center (EIC) --> Interaction Center Web-Client --> Application Functions --> Activity --> Service Level Agreement (SLA) --> Define SLV Properties
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Harish and Jarret.
    @Harish, I already tried unchecking the checkbox of the Display field but the problem with this is, it will also apply for the rest of the categories. It should only be for this specific subcategory.
    @Jarret, apology, but can you explain to me further about your instruction/advise? I get the feeling that we're on to something with your advise but I didn't quite get it on how to exactly.
    1. You should build the SLA from the lowest level up...
                        -I'm not really sure how, actually.
    2. If you have 8 subcats... will put the 8 entries in the table...
                        -where do I put the 1 subcat? This is because if I don't put that "No SLA" subcat in the table, the due date of that specific subcat will automatically appear todayu2019s date.
    Thanks for both of you. I really appreciate your help. 

  • How can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2

    how can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2
    I am attempting to have the date in header auto update in a Pages file.
    I can insert it, but where is the AUTO UPDATE selection
    OS10.9.4
    thank you

    Apple never included the auto-update feature for dates in Pages v5.2.2. You would have to single-click the date, and deliberately update it.
    If you have Pages ’09 v4.3 in /Applications/iWork '09, then it will allow you to configure auto-update of the date field. Right-click on the date, set the format, and click the selection for automatically update on open.
