Can Thunderbird be opened to a folder other than inbox.

We're all pretty much flooded with junk mail. I'm to the point where it would be more effective to open Mozilla to a custom folder (i.e. not inbox) and populate that folder with selected contacts (i.e. not all contacts).
Any thoughts?
filtering out junk is just getting too cumbersome, it would be much easier to filter based on contact name.
Example of how it would work:
1) Set Thunderbird to open specific folder
2) Select email that gets sent to that folder via Contacts

This sounds like you have not set up Junk Controls nor trained TB to recognise Junk.
I set up Junk Controls, trained it to recognise both what is good and what is Junk.
Now all Junk goes to Junk folder automatically. My Inbox rarely gets Junk and if it does I mark it as Junk and TB remembers this.
Please read info on setting up all the various sections to do with Junk Controls. Work through each section.

Additional:
The Inbox should be used as an Inbox and not as a general store, so keep it low in email numbers and compact frequently.

  • When importing bookmarks, can I import them to a folder other than "Bookmarks Menu"?

    I want to import bookmarks from an html file. I would like to keep them separate from the bookmarks I already have in Firefox.
    Can I import them into a sub-folder that I create within the "Bookmarks Menu" folder?
    For example, I might make a folder "Imported Bookmarks".
    I have Firefox 6.0 and Windows 7.
    Thanks.

    They will be imported into a folder at the bottom of your "Bookmarks Menu" folder.
    Simply drag it to where you want it, and rename it to "Imported bookmarks from ....". It will still be somewhere in you "Bookmarks Menu" though.
    Unless you import them through the File menu directly from another browser.
    Suggest you create a bookmarks backup if you are going to play where you not familiar.

  • Can I install applications in a folder other than Applications?

    If I do, will items still be created in my Library correctly?

    If an applications has an installer, then allow the installer to choose the location, and leave the application where it was installed. I also trongly suggest against moving an application from its installed location, expecially any Apple provided applications.
    If the installer has an explicit option to choose an install location, then feel free to choose your own location.
    If the application just needs to be dragged and dropped into a folder, then also feel free to choose where you want to store the applications (even if the .dmg has an alias to the Applications folder, you can still store the application where you want).
    If what you want is a collection of frequently used applications, then create a folder, and place Mac OS X Aliases of the desired applications in that folder (Option-Command-Drag is an easy way to create an alias). You can then place that folder on your Dock, and using Control-Click, configure how the Dock displays the folder contents.

    Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
    Contact information Dennis [email protected]
    Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
    Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
    created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion 
    DURIM - Okay.  I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
    If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]?  We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
    Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro?  If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
    I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

    Q: Can you use xm:multiple with Objects other than Strings?
    <br>
    A: You bet. Attached find a text file with some code from the example I showed
    today, a version of the multipleSayHiTo() method that has a parameter of an Array
    of Person objects rather than a parameter of an Array of Strings. The code within
    the text file comes from the Greeting.jws file (the Greeting Web Service).

    So you are saying that the recovery discs I made do include the copy of windows that was originally installed?
    Absolutely! They will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. Follow the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 73 of the User's Guide.

    maybe i can make a deal with wd to have them swap this drive out for the BEKT instead...
    That would be a good idea in any case.
    As I said, the 10-fc12-045d error would not be due to the drive's being AFT, but more likely the discs are not being read properly. New discs can be obtained from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here

  • I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?

    I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?

    Lion is a bit of a memory hog - kernel_task will use quite a bit and Safari is known to use more; you can't do anything about the system, but changing to Firefox may help a little. The best way to deal with it is to increase your RAM; the required minimum is just that: the minimum. My Macbook would keep crashing and beachballing until I upped the RAM to 4 GB. RAM is inexpensive right now - check out OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial.com; both reputable RAM vendors with lifetime warranties. You won't regret it.
    As for iDVD - I purchased the retail iLife 11 disk because of iDVD (because I use that a lot) - it's available at online resellers, the Apple Store, and ebay.

  • How can I open a PDF into an iBooks folder other than PDF folder?

    How can I open a PDF directly into a folder in iBooks other than the PDF folder?  I have different folders made and am currently having to open into the PDF folder and then move to the correct folder. Can I open directly into the needed folder? 

    No, I don't think so. The pdf isn't capable of knowing which folder you would like it to open in – all it knows is that it is a pdf. It's up to you to put it in the appropariate folder.

  • Why can't I open a playlist folder and drag and drop playlists in it?

    I have hundreds of playlists that I am trying to organize via playlist folders. Right now I have to select a single playlist and drag it all the way to the top to the selected playlist folder. That is very tedious and time consuming! I have tried to open the playlist folder and just drag and drop the playlist but no go on that. Is there a way to move multiple playlists at the same time to the same playlist folder?

    Sorry, I misunderstood your question.
    I found no way to drag multiple playlists unless I collect them into a folder first and then drag that folder all the distance.
    But you could try to shorten the way you have to drag the playlist, by collapsing all folders but the one you are working on.
    I keep one big folder, that usually hold all my playlist and playlist folders.
    When I want to rearrange certain folders I move them from this container and close the folder containing all the rest. Then I can move the from one folder to the other without too much scrolling.

  • Why can't I open my "Public" folder?

    When I go to my account's name, and go to "Public", and try to click it, it says that I have no permission to open the file, when I can open it on my other macbookpro. Please help.

    Try this: Open the little lock on the Public folder, Then highlight your user above, press the minus sign; then go to the plus sign and add yourself back on; give your self Read and Write privileges. (I do not know why this is messed up on your system, you would hardly ever mess with this stufff.) Then go to the little cog to the right of the green arrow, and select Apply to enclosed items. Then close the little Lock on the lower right when you are all done.

  • Can iWeb be hosted by another site other than .Mac?

    I have already purchased a domain name and a hosting agreement with GoDaddy, however I cannot utilize their web page templates for some reason. Another mac user suggested I purchase iWeb and then have GoDaddy host. Can that be easily accomplished?

    Yes, it can be easily accomplished. Here's iWeb's Help info on this topic...
    Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac:
    Instead of publishing your site to .Mac, you can publish your site to a local folder and then upload it to the server or hosting provider of your choice. You may want to use this method if you own a domain name and want to place your site there.
    To publish your site to a local destination:
    Choose File > Publish to a Folder.
    Choose a location to store your site, and then click Choose.
    After you publish your site to a folder, you can use an FTP (file transfer protocol) client to upload the site folder and index file to the location of your choice. iWeb does not provide an FTP client, but they are easy to obtain. Some hosting services provide a web-based FTP upload service, or you can download an FTP client from the web. For more information, contact your server administrator.
    If you don't publish your site to .Mac, these features are unavailable:
    Password protection
    Blog comments
    Blog search
    Hit counter
    Enhanced slideshows
    Also, for Subscribe buttons to work, you must specify your site's URL in the field provided after you publish to a folder.
