Creating to-do item hangs Mail

Gosh, I've been fighting with this bug for a while and can't find a way around. I try to create to-do item for a message in Gmail account (manage mail via IMAP). Sending/receiving messages work perfectly but to-do creating stuff...I follow exactly with what this beautiful girl:-) from 'Apple Quick Tip of the week' tells me to do, but it's all in vain...As soon as I choose 'New To-do' at contextual menu my Mail freezes...

This issue has been addressed before. This is a bug, either in Mail or iCal. So, if you want to stop Mail from crashing or freezing, you need to do this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Open iCal and Delete your To Do items; save and quit.
3. Open Mail and see if it crashes or hangs; if not, quit Mail, open iCal and try adding back To Do items one at a time. After you add one, save the changes, quit iCal and try opening Mail again to see if it crashes or hangs; if not, quit and go back to iCal and add another To Do and repeat this process. If Mail should crash at any point, post back with the crash report.
4. It might also help if you updated to 10.5.4.

Create todo & calendar items in mail

G'day, how do you create todo & calendar items within mail ??
I have checked the customise toolbar and there are no options for this?
I hope you can help - otherwise i'll have to revert back to MS Office

Just drag a message onto the Calendar or Reminders icon in the Dock (or onto the open app).

"Rules will only be run on items in mail folders"

"Rules will only be run on items in mail folders"
I have a client that is trying to create rules in Outlook and she is the owner of a shared mailbox. Whenever she creates a rule for either one of the mailboxes she is also getting the "Rules will only be run on items in mail folders" error message and the
rules will not run. Previous rules did run Monday, but stopped on Tuesday.
The user deleted the rules and attempted to recreate them, but received the same error message. I noted the previous posts, copied the questions and answered them. Hope this helps.
1. How were the rules created? Was it created from Outlook or OWA or any 3rd party tool?
Created in Outlook, not in OWA or a 3rd party application.
2. Are these rules server side rules or client side rules
They are created client side and saved server side. Exchange Server is 2010.
3. Are these rules set for public folders or folders under mailbox
Rules are on a mailbox that the user owns and on a separate mailbox that the user has owner control on.
4. Were these rules working before?
The rules worked on Monday 11/19/2012, but stopped working the next day. The last software updates were on 11/15/2012
I also ran a repair on MS Office and the error message still comes up.

This thread is old but I thought I would add the information I have learned.
This problem all revolves around the option
“Enable Rules on all RSS Feeds”.
You have to check that in order to run any rules against RSS downloads but when you do, you get that message.
The option makes Outlook process the RSS Feeds folder which it normally skips (like Calendar,
Contacts, etc) and the RSS messages coming in. Although the RSS items look like regular Outlook e-mails, they are different and they are normally ignored unless that option is enabled. Because of those two
things, you get the pop-up message – which is not an error - it’s telling you that it’s can’t process non-mail folders and messages. You can usually fix it by setting your RSS Feeds to download into a SUB-FOLDER of the RSS Feeds folder.
Outlook actually want’s it that way and makes it hard to specify the root “RSS Feeds”.
You will still get the message less often but it will have a checkbox with, “Do not show this message again”.
Check that option because it’s just informative. and you should be all set.
I did the testing for this on Outlook 2007 not using Exchange. If someone else finds a situation where this doesn't apply or work, poke around non-mail folders and see why Outlook is processing them.

Rules hang mail

Rules hang Mail.
I have a lot of rules and a several hundred mailboxes. When creating a new rule, Mail will intermittently hang when opening the preferences panes with rules, choosing the destination mailbox, or applying the new rule. I notice in the Activity Viewer has many many mailboxes that are briefly noted as "writing changes to disk". When creating a rule is successful, these flash up and quickly go away. When Mail hangs, the progress bars are various states of frozen stripes (like normal barbershop poles but stuck) or not displayed at all. I get the beachball and the Force Quit menu shows "(not responding)" . I've left it overnight, so this doesn't recover. After a reboot, I can make a few rules, but it will eventually hang. A reboot sometimes (but not always) allows a few more chances to make rules, but lately has been hanging as soon as I open the Prefs pane.
I've deleted many old rules and used Rebuild on almost all mailboxes (50 at a time not to hang Mail again), but no success. Why do rules cause Mail to hang?
Running up-to-date OS 10.6.7 and Mail 4.5 (1084).

Hi Stanley,
In the Mac Mail Menu Bar click Mail/Preferences. Make note of all your preferences under each tab.
Quit Mac Mail.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.mail/plist to the Trash
Relaunch the Mail application.

Unable to create web app items if Proximity Search is Enabled.

I am using BC API to create web app items because I am getting the data from a third party website and wanted to save the data into web app by using BC API. I have a web app ( Name: "Map Overview" ) and the proximity search is enabled. When I test my script I got 404 bad request error but if I disabled the Proximity Search the item is created.
Can someone help me on this?
Thanks

Let me know the page you are running the API call on, I'll have a look and see what gives.
Thanks,

When I look at the demo on the page it fires the same response as that is part of the error handling because it is a standalone HTML and not on a sharepoint server so I am wondering if something I am missing on the submit.click function or batchcmd.
I included the entire code for it to see if maybe you can see something I am not. My crossword is on a Sharepoint Server
$( '#crossword-submit' ).click( function( event ) {
// If you decide to use a hyperlink instead of a button input, this will prevent
//the hyperlink from actually navigating away from the page or to an anchor.
event.preventDefault();
// Disable the button so the user can't click it again and submit the answers more than once.
$( this ).prop( 'disabled', true );
// Prevent submission if the crossword isn't completed.
if ( $( '#crossword' ).find( 'input' ).filter( function() { return $( this ).val() === ""; }).length !== 0 ) {
alert( "You have left some answers blank. Please complete all answers before submitting." );
$( this ).removeProp( 'disabled' );
return false;

Reversal FB08 Creating New OPEN ITEM instead of clearing the open item.

Dear All,
My user has an issue whenever he does any reversal Tcode - FB08 in one of the general ledger "Cash in Transit" nature "open item" & "Line item" instead of clearing the open it it creates a new open line item.
I have checked in Table BKPF , the reversal number is being updated but this items are still appearing open item in FBL3N and not appearing in F-04 (all reversals) for clearing.
Can any one share what can be the reason its creating new open item and how can i solve the issue for clearing the account.
Thanks & Regards
Pravin

hi
Please check following cases
- whether this is happening in all the reversal cases of Cash in transit
- Whether is user is just using FBRA (Onsly resetting) and not going for reversal
- Chances would be one or two partial clearing may have taken for single document for the offsetting accounts
Thanks

TS3276 I created a new mailbox in mail, but it does not show up in my list

I created a new mailbox in mail, but it does not show up in my list of mailboxes. Now I cannot change it or delete it. I keep getting an error message that I must resolve conflicts, but it won't let me change anything. Can you help me fix this?

Found it, thanks to the answer Vixen-of-Venus gave - thanks.

Creating a service item

I'm in the middle of creating a new service and am having a problem with service items. I have designed the service item, created the dictionary added some fields, created an active form and finally created a service. In the plan for the service my first step is to create a service item. Then I call the CPO process which updates the service item and finally I do an update service item.
My problem is the service item never gets created. I plan on using this service item for subsequent services but can't as it never exists. The CPO process gets called properly and updates the requisition form properly but no service item.
Can anyone give me some clues as to what I've done wrong? I'm using CIAC 3.0. Haven't yet upgraded to 3.1.

Maksim,
It turns out that in my active form I wasn't creating a value for the Name field and thus it was refusing to save my Service Item. I only discovered this after trying to create a Service Item manually and accidentally leaving the Name field empty. I am not using the Name field in my form so now instead it's set to hidden but I also generate a GUID for it and this now works as expected.
Just little things to keep us on our toes!

Can I create separate Notes folders in Mail?

I've tried searching and have found different answers (mainly no), but I thought I would ask here before I throw in the towel.
I'm wanting to create different folders in my Mail account for Notes (not mailboxes, but just a few different Notes folders). Any suggestions as to how to do this, or a good alternative.
Thanks!

Why?
What would that give you?

How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates?

Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates? or to convert the createt page to only html content? any other tool like an website copyer?
tanks for help!

Off the top of my head, you should be able to create mail templates in muse BUT it will require very basic html/css knowledge on your part. I am assuming you want to do just the signature?
Create the design you would like on one page, dont do any kind of styling in a master page. Then export the site into a folder. Open the html file with notepad/ textedit and then copy just the code for JUST the template. Throw it in you mail app of choice and it should work.
This seems like something that would be done alot quicker in dreamweaver in design view.
PLEASE NOTE: ^i could be completely wrong - but in theory this may work.

How to create a group of e-mail addresses

Hi,
I need to create a group of recipients (mailing list) using a list of e-mail addresses. I guess I need to use the Address Book, but I could not find the correct way to copy/paste the entire block of addresses. The only way I found was to insert each address, one by one. This drives me crazy because I have to insert some dozens of addresses. Any suggestions? Thanks

This would be an ideal use of Address Book's File > Import...
From Address Book's help:
To import contacts:
Export addresses from another application in a supported format.
Before exporting tab-delimited or CSV files, you may want to note the order of the information fields. If the file doesn’t contain labels, you can refer to your notes to manually identify the fields in a later step.
If the application you’re exporting from supports it, export vCards that include multiple contacts to speed up importing. For example, in Outlook select all of your contacts and choose to forward them as vCards. Send the email message, which includes a vCard attachment for each selected contact, to yourself on your Mac computer. In Mail, save the vCard attachments, and then use Address Book to import them.
Verify the exported .txt or CSV files using a text editor such as TextEdit.
Make sure there are no line breaks within a contact’s information, which can cause the import to fail. Remove any line breaks you find.
Make sure that fields in a .txt or tab-delimited file are separated by a tab, and fields in a CSV file are separated by a comma, instead of by quotation marks or another character. Do not include spaces before or after tabs and commas.
Make sure all addresses have the same number of fields; add empty fields as needed.
In Address Book, choose File > Import, select the file you want to import, change the encoding if necessary, and then click Open.
If you’re importing a text file, review the field labels Address Book will use for the information. You can change field labels, or choose to ignore or not import fields.
If the first card contains headers, review the headers to make sure they are correctly labeled or marked as “Do not import,” and make changes as necessary. Any changes you make to this card are made in all of the cards in the file. To exclude the headers card from being imported, select the “Ignore first card” checkbox.
Use the arrows to browse information in the file to determine if fields need to be relabeled or not imported.
To change a label, click the arrows next to the label and choose a new label from the pop-up menu. If you don’t want to import a field, choose “Do not import.”

Creating a new item in application Personalize Page

Hi all,
I've created a new item from the application's personalize page. There are a few questions I want to ask about this new item I've created.
1. I know that the page has different regions as there is more than one controller class for that page(visually). If I use oapagecontext.getParameter("Item ID"), will that give me the item's value even if it is in a different controller?
2. When I create a new item using the application's personalize page, does it automatically update the relevant xml in $FND_TOP/mds repository? Or does it only update it during run time?
Cheers

Hi there,
it still seems unable to do what i want. The code I'm using right now is this
I've created a new MessageTextInput item from the application and gave it the ID of xxActiveTo. I also made the view attribute of "ActiveTo" and attribute set of /oracle/apps/jtf/resource/attributesets/JtfRsResourceExtns/EndDateActive.
**code **
String temp = oapagecontext.getParameter("xxActiveTo");
if (temp != "22-Aug-2006")
setforwardurl (xxxxxx);
When i see the field I enter 22-Aug-2006 and then press the button. However, it always forwards to the url as in setforwardurl.
I know I'm getting the wrong value but I don't exactly know why
Please help
