Conversation view in Mail - switch on for all folders?

I'm liking the "organize by conversation" option in the new Mail, but unless I'm missing something it looks like I have to switch it on separately or each of my (many!) folders.
Is there a way to just switch it on globally?

I'm afraid that setting is folder specific.
There's a very simple "Info.plist" xml file on disk inside each folder (for example):
~/Library/Mail/V2/[email protected]@imap.gmail.com/Label.mbox/Info.plist
where the status of conversation view for that folder is stored.
Enabled:
<key>DisplayInThreadedMode</key>
<string>yes</string>
Disabled:
<key>DisplayInThreadedMode</key>
<string>no</string>
If you're confortable with shell scripting I guess you could go on about bulk searching & replacing those values from "no" => "yes".
Just remember to backup first and do your tests with the Mail.app turned off.

Conversation view like mail in lion

Hi! I am not able to see the mails in the usefull conversation view I have in Lion when the messages are orgnised in thread. It's seems that ios5 organized the similar messages in thread and when u click on it it shows the mails separated each other and not together like in the Conversation view of Mail for Lion.
Can u help me please?
I would be really gratefull if u can answer me. Thanks
Cheers,
Alberto

Well, I tried that and all connections were successful.
However, I just tried something else. I had an online Exchange account that I have been using, but recently deactivated the account, and moved the mail servers to my own domain. I had left the Exchange server account active to give the system and accounts time to migrate and sync, etc. On a whim, after your above email, I deleted the inactive Exchange account and that seems to have fixed it. I don't know why, though, because all email accounts were set to use mobile SMPT2GO for all outgoing mail, and that account was turned off on the server side.
For anyone else having this problem, I also tried the various fixes in the thread here. There are some good ideas, though they didn't work for me.

How can I set a customized view in finder set as standard for ALL folders?

As I have a large number of folders, I need a specific view in finder: symbol view, sort by program and name. I tried to use this settings as standard for ALL folders, but using the 'set as standard' button does only work for the folder I am in, but not for ALL folders. I even tried to use this settings on the hard disk level in finder, but what ever I tried, it never applies to all folders. The problem occurs on each of my devices and on Yosemite OS 10.10.1. as well as Mavericks 10.9.5. Any ideas on how I can make the 'standard' work on all folders?

As Vinod says, unique key validator would be fine.
However, In Gabriel's blog:
Performing a unique key validation for an attribute that is declared to be unique in the database requires a round trip to the database. This is quite expensive and there is a fast and easy way to work around it.Is false on several fronts:
1). it's not expensive - it's actually cheaper than the alternative
2). Unique key validator can require many trips to the DB to validate - it must check all other rows in the EO to ensure there is no duplicate, and all of those rows must be fetched into the middle tier to do the validation: this is expensive.
The "cheapest" way to do this: unique constraint in the DB

The next level manager is unable to view or access appraisal forms for all

I am facing an issue where in the next level manager is not able to see the appraisal docs of employees.
Follwing is the link that we found on SDN related to the same issue-
Next higher level manager should see the appraisal docs of the employees
During the PM testing, an issue was discovered with the existing logic of the Default Next Level Manager BADI.
When a manager manually reports to a NL managers organization unit, the next level manager is unable to view or access appraisal forms for all the employees who report to the manager.
For example,
NL Manager/Cheif: Susan
Manager/Chief: John
Employees: Mary and Matt
If Johns position (manager/chief) has a A 999 Reports to dotted line relationship to Susans organization unit (NL Manager), then Susan is unable to access, approve or reject the appraisal forms for Mary and Matt (Johns direct reports).
The relationship type is A 999 Reports to dotted line
Type of related object O (Organizational Unit)
We need to update the BADI in order for the next level manager to be able to access appraisal forms as described in the example above.
BADI implementation Name : Z_HRHAP00_DOC_DEF_DO
Method - IF_EX_HRHAP00_DOC_DEF_DO~DEFAULT_OTHERS
Now we are facing the following issue-
After identification of the employees who report to the managers organizational unit using the A 003 Belongs to relationship we are not sure how to pass these employees information from BADI to appraisal form, so that the previously identified Next Level Manager will be able to access, accept and reject appraisal forms for these employees.
For further details please refer the thread. I was not able to understand how this can be achieved.
Can anyone please mention in brief how I should be able to do this. I am new to this and I would appreciate any help .
Regards,
Satish.

There are no Function Modules to my knowledge. Pls try the transaction S_AHR_61016530 which would display the User's approvers as per hierarchy. This would bring datas from the HR tables. If this helps pls award points.

Click Verify > Start. if necessary click Repair.
You may need to enter your admin password to proceed.
And, from the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
Go through each mail account to make sure the password is typed in on the right.

Hide side bar for all folders

How am i supposed to do to hide all side bar for all folders once for all plz ??

May be a corrupt .plist.
Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Help fix my function to show status for all folders

I have created a function (tow of them for the same purpose) but they are not working. They compile but when i call them I get null result.
What I want to do is get folder status for all folders in the database. There is a table called folder with status code, and another table called validstatus with the statuscode description
So when you look at the older you just see the status code which is a number but then using the function you will get the desription of what that code means.
Here IS THE function. Maybe I am not doing it right when I call them.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f_folderstatus (v_folderrsn IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
v_return VARCHAR2 (128);
BEGIN
SELECT distinct vs.statusdesc
into v_return
FROM folder f, validstatus vs
WHERE f.statuscode = vs.statuscode
AND f.folderrsn = v_folderrsn;
RETURN v_return;
END;
When I call them using this statement I get null
select f.folderrsn, f_folderstatus3(vs.statusdesc)
from FOLDER F, validstatus vs
where f.statuscode = vs.statuscode
Edited by: user9508421 on Sep 11, 2008 8:11 AM

Now how do I create a function to give folder status for all foldertypes? I will then use this function in a package.
The Folder table has the following columns:
NAME Null? Type
FOLDERRSN NOT NULL NUMBER(10,0)
FOLDERTYPE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(4)
STATUSCODE NUMBER(10,0)
SUBCODE NUMBER(10,0)
FOLDERDESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(4000)
FOLDERCONDITION VARCHAR2(4000)
FOLDERNAME VARCHAR2(80)
The validstatus table has these columns:
NAME Null? Type
STATUSCODE NUMBER(10,0)
STATUSDESC VARCHAR2(80)

Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7

How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?
Artoo

I just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system. You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template. This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents. The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
General Items
Documents
Pictures
Music
Videos
When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents. If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template. That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
template.
Changing the Other Four Templates
If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done. If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
Select a folder that contains music items
Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
Customize the folder to your personal preferences
Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
A fifth step would be: When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
or the automatic re-templating of folders.
THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
The search that actually solved it:
"do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
good luck, this worked for me!
EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer.

Outlook Reading Pane -- Disable for All Folders

I am really hoping the answer to this is not "you have to do it for each folder" (because I have hundreds of them) -- how do I disable the reading pane for ALL Outlook folders with a single click?

Hello,
In Outlook we can define view templates to to easily apply changes to multiple folders at once. Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 also have a separate feature to copy the current view of a folder to other folders.
For more information, please refer:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/51
Or, we can just use the /nopreview command to open your Outook with the Reading Pane off. To do this, please refer:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/command-line-switches-for-outlook-2010-HP010354956.aspx
Hope this helps.

find /directory/to/search -type d -exec chown user:group {} \;
Works for chmod too
find /directory/to/search -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
And files:
find /directory/to/search -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Problem with "Group By" in Views - Not Displaying the Same for All Users

We have an Announcements List with its only View being set up to group by a metadata category field. We've done this many times on other kinds of lists and never had a problem. But with this list, about half the users can see only the ungrouped
set of announcements, whereas others actually see the items within their groups.
Those with "View" rights only can't see the grouped items - but that appears to be a coincidence as I promoted them to the same rights as others who can see them correctly, and that did NOT solve the problem. Everyone is using the exact same browser.
Note: the users who do NOT see the groupings see only a single category entry that displays only the name of the category list (but not the names of the actual categories within the category list). All the announcements are grouped under that one
entry for those users. This display looks exactly like it would if the categories had been left blank when the original announcements were created. But the categories are NOT blank, and the rest of the users can see them just fine, and the announcements display
within their appropriate groups.
I can't find anything in the View, the List Settings, or the User Permissions to explain this. What could be causing it, and how can I fix it?

Browser settings are controlled by central IT and are all identical.
The only difference I can detect is the second set of users (that don't see the category options) have only Read rights, whereas those with Contribute (or above) rights can see the categories. It doesn't make
sense that permissions would affect this, but I can't come up with any other differences.
Microsoft will not allow me to upload images. it says I can't upload images until they have verified my account, but there is no clue as to how, if or when that might happen. If you can tell me how to fix that, I can provide samples.

Stopping Junk Mail once and for all.

Hi everyone!
Like most everyone I think that spam is rather annoying. I was thinking about how to get rid of it and came up with a very simple yet powerful idea. I've never heard of this way so at least in my own little world I can say I came up with it.
The idea is this: You define a basic set of mail rules. The rules would be this:
- If ALL of the following conditions are met:
+ Sender is not in my Address Book
+ Sender is not in my Previous Recipients
+ Message is Junk Mail
Now of course using the rules that were set above are not at all a great way of defining spam, because someone trying to get a hold of you (such as a potential employer or long lost friend for example) will likely not make their way through those rules, and their message will be marked as spam. Here's where it gets good though! Instead of simply doing a message bounce, you can also add a custom message that goes along with the bounce, as if you were to reply to the spam yourself. Now of course you can make some dirty comments to the potential spammer, but the point of the auto replying is not to be mean or anything of the like. So before going further, here's what would basically happen:
-=-=-=-
I have automatically returned this message to you because I think it is spam.
Original message:
Is your girlfriend happy?!?! bla bla bla
-=-=-=-
Okay now back to the problem: what if the supposed spam message is actually not spam and is important? Well, not a problem! We now use the power of the custom response. Instead of just saying "I have automatically returned this message to you because I think it is spam," we can also add "If this message is not spam, please resend the message and include in the subject line the phrase "we2y9e5". So if the message was indeed a legitimate email and not spam, the original sender can now put the phrase "we2y9e5" in the subject field. And now that can be a custom mail rule! So in the end you'll have:
- If ALL of the following conditions are met:
+ Sender is not in my Address Book
+ Sender is not in my Previous Recipients
+ Subject does not contain we2y9e5
Perform the following actions:
+ Reply to Message [Reply Message Text...]
+ Delete Message
So now if the Sender sends you an email with the subject "we2y9e5" in it, it will no longer be bounced back to them. From there you can add the Sender to your Address Book and have a new lifelong friend.
Of course, if the message was actual spam, the spammer could just go ahead and put "we2y9e5" in the subject line and get through your new shield. This is in no way a problem though, because if people start using this method there's no way a spammer would bother looking for the phrase in an email. Even if they did, it's just a simple matter of changing your phrase and updating the rule that goes along with that phrase. You can even have a little fun and make it like a little puzzle, like "the phrase is the sound a cat makes" or something like that. Just don't make it too confusing, but you get the idea.
No spam means it's far less likely for users to have their computer taken over by those who are up to no good. You won't have to nervously post your email on forums in some weird "this-is[delete this section]my-email [at] yahoo [d0t] com" format. Best of all you'll never have to go through your mail and delete spam again! Give this method a try and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
I have attached some screenshots of how to set it up for those who are like me and would rather go off a picture.
Happy emailing!

There are a number of problems with this approach.
1. You should not reply to spam, since in the unlikely event that the "reply to" or "return path" email address is actually owned by spammers, it will confirm to them that yours is a real, "live" email address. This will get it on lists sold & traded among spammers, increasing dramatically the number of junk messages sent to you.
Note: bouncing spam will usually have the same effect, since (contrary to what you might think) it is easy to extract the "bouncer's" email address from the message Mail sends. Bouncing is really only effective if a human reads the reply.
2. In the more typical case, the sender's address is forged, often with a real address of some entity, perhaps from one of these "known good" lists. Sometimes a real address is chosen specifically to victimize its owner, for instance to damage a reputation or to flood a mailbox -- sometimes this is the entire purpose of the spam.
3. A lot of legitimate email is generated by automated systems with no human involved. Frequently these are alerts or advisories, telling you that if action is required it must be done by other than email means, such as through a web site or phone call. Some ignore all email replies, or take action only on those with specific subject or body keywords. It is often not possible to know in advance the email address this type of message is sent from; thus, you can not add it to Address Book until you actually receive an example.
4. Even if the sender is a human & the message is legitimate, the "I think this is spam" reply may cause them not to resend a second version containing your special keyword for various reasons. Imagine for instance someone on a slow, dial up connection, or on a usage based fee service, or with any sort of quota limits to worry about. Or think about what would be required if some poor soul sent a first-time message to a large group, say for organizing a high school reunion, & many of them used this approach, each with their own special 'not junk' keyword.
Basically, a good, effective junk filter must not generate a large number of false positives, & it certainly should not make things easier for spammers or harder for other users. I urge you to rethink this approach.

ITunes Show View Options - Display an option for all playlists in one go??

Hi there
Ive got about 200 playlists and need to show the same option for each (BPM).
How can I tell iTunes to display the BPM in ALL playlists in one go?
I can't manually select it from
View
Show View Options
Tick BPM
Close Show View Options
on all 200 playlists, it would take far too long.
Any help?
Thanks

iTunes does not provide a way to do that. When a playlist is first created, it inherits the "View" from how the Music library is set at that point in time. From then on, changes to its View settings are independent of all other playlists.
There may be a script somewhere that helps. Otherwise you have to do them one at a time.
It can however, be done with fewer clicks than you state. Right-click any column header (preferably the one to the left of where you want BPM to show) and click the item "Beats Per Minute."

Switch Wireframe for all repicators

Hi, I have 10 replicators in my project, and so the Image view is really slow... Is there any way to turn all the replicators to Wireframe at once? It drives me crazy to manually switch them between Wireframe and Image...

Can't do them all at once. You have to switch each one individually via inspector.
Hope that helps!
