Can Thunderbird be set up to only view messages from a shared account, without having the possibility of altering the emails, folders of that account?

I have one account setup as POP3 on one laptop.
I want another user (supervisor) to be able to ONLY VIEW the emails (Inbox, Sent, Folders) from the first laptop.
I've set up the account as IMAP on the supervisor's laptop. The supervisor is not very tech-wise, so it happened in the past to read emails from that account (and forget to mark them as unread), send emails from the account (composing email while having selected the wrong account), even delete emails. Not to mention the fact that the mails would show up as read on the first laptop if they were read on the supervisor's laptop.
So i'm trying to find a way to have another user, checking the account as VIEW ONLY, without beeing able to affect the account itself.

Thunderbird knows nothing of "Read Only", which is not all that surprising for a personal mail client.
Perhaps you can do what you need using operating system controls on ownership and access to the files in the profile folder.

  • My husband and I are using the same computer. He has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want...but when I sync my iPod I get all of his songs too. Is there a way of setting up another ITunes account without having to untick all of the ton songs iTunes

    My husband has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want on my iPod nano. Is there a way to set up a separate account on the same computer in iTunes? Do I have to un-tick all of his songs (would take forever!! And then he would have to tick them again)....when we sync our iPods?

    No. Its not possible.
    Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

    Sign into iMessage using the same ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive).  The other phone should then see your messages too.

  • Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

    Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

    If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

  • Can I set up a password for when renting movies from my Apple TV without having to sign out?

    Can I set up a password when renting movies from my Apple TV without having to sign out?

    Is there an issue just signing out?  It's a chore entering itunes store password sometimes I agree but there's no way to set a local password on AppleTV - though it's a good idea as you could have a simpler one than for itunes store.
    Ordinarily I enter my password for rentals though AppleTV ususally asks if I want it to remember it automatically.  If you sign out and sign back in you should get the option.

    Hi

    The reason for buy this was for when I was out and about to get a better view off my images.

    Thanks

    A couple of weeks ago, (after reading a review in TUAW) I bought a wireless hub/ SD card reader called RAVPower.  its app comes with a built in viewer, so you can load it up, and see the pics full screen.

  • How can I deauthorize my account without having my previous laptops?

    I change my laptop a lot and now I bought a new laptop, but somehow I can't authorized my account in itunes because it said max to 5 computer.
    The laptop that I used previously have given to others. How can I deauthorize my account without having those previous laptops?

    If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five,
    (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)
    Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

  • My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

    My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

    Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
    If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

  • ICal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.

    iCal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.
    On the previous software version I used to be able to view all my calendar events as a list by clicking on the magnifying glass. Now you have to type into the search dialog box for a list to populate. This is very frustrating and annoying because I much prefer the list format to populate everything unless I specify what I am looking for into the search box. Is there a way to view all the events as a list without having to type anything into the search box?

    And you are aware of the possible options for listing the months and having an optional export value for each month.
    For listing the months, you can use a number, a 3 character string, or the full name.
    For the export value, the full name, the 3 character value, the 1-2 number, or the 0-11 JavaScript value.
    I would look at deciding how you want to populate the drop down box and build a one page form with just this field. You can then insert that page into a PDF and copy the field as needed and then delete the inserted page. Or you could create an FDF file to create the drop down box.

  • How do I change my security questions? I forget them because I made them ages ago and can't seem to buy anything off my account without having to answer them?? Help

    How do I change my security questions? I forget them because I made them ages ago and can't seem to buy anything off my account without having to answer them?? Help

    1. First, go to http://appleid.apple.com. Underneath where it says "Already have an Apple ID?," click Manage your Account. You will then need to sign in. If you forgot your Apple ID or password, click on the appropriate "Forgot..." link below either of these fields.
    2. After you sign in, click on "Passwords and Security" on the left.
    3. You will be asked to answer the security questions, but you should also notice a link below the second "Answer" field offering to send reset instructions to your rescue email address that you provided.
    4. Check the Inbox of your rescue email address. The email should appear within a minute or two. If it does not, be sure to check Spam. If it is not there either, you can repeat the above process to resend. Once you get the email, following the link will take you to a page where you must sign in again. After doing so, you will have the option to choose three new security questions and answers, which you may want to write down
    5. After you fill in the required information and continue, you should be taken to a confirmation screen stating "Your password and security information has been saved," and then you are done.
    6. The "Forgot your answers?" link will not appear if you do not have a rescue email address set up. In that case you will need to contact iTunes Support, http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    7. If you still know the answers to your security questions, it is highly recommended you add a rescue email address. To do so, log in at appleid.apple.com and click on Password and Security. Answer the questions and then click on "Add Rescue Email Address:"

  • Is there a way of viewing photos from a USB stick without adding them to my iPhoto Library

    Is there a way of viewing photos from a USB stick without adding them to my iPhoto Library? I am using OS Snow Leopard.

    Use the Preview application. If you have it in your dock you can drag a group of photos to the icon and they'll open with the first picture large and the rest as thumbnails to the side. Use the buttons at the top to go to the next picture and zoom in or out.

  • How to pull only column names from a SELECT query without running it

    How to pull only column names from a SELECT statement without executing it? It seems there is getMetaData() in Java to pull the column names while sql is being prepared and before it gets executed. I need to get the columns whether we run the sql or not.
