Data from deleted accounts still exist in ~/Library

An Exchange mail account (EWS) that I had deleted from my Mail app is still hogging ~500MB of space in the "~/Library/Mail/V2" folder! Since the account no longer exists, can I safely delete the particular "EWS-<emailID>" folder? Why was it not deleted?
There is another POP3 account that I deleted, which again resides in the above folder as "POP-<emailID>"!
Is it safe to delete the folders myself?
Thanks,
Anup

Open up the system preferences and look at the "Mail, Contacts, & Calendars" tab. See if the accounts might be listed there also. If so, delete them from there also.
Since you have a TM backup, just delete the accounts from your home library. If things go wrong, you can restore the Mail folder from the latest TM backup.
In Addition: I created a test account in Mail. Then deleted the account in the Mail application. The account remained in the Home Library Mail folder. I just manually deleted that account.

Email drafts from deleted account still on iphone

I have the iPhone 3G and when i do a search (on the phone itself) for an old email account that i used to have synced on my phone, saved drafts appear that i created from the previous account. This email account has been deleted and it wont allow me to delete the draft, or remove any information in the draft itself. I cannot remove the drafts from my phone nor can i send them anywhere because the account associated with the drafts are deleted. Any help??

The messages are stored on the server, not on the phone, if you set up your Yahoo account using the Yahoo! selection on the iPhone. This is true of all IMAP accounts.

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

All CDs deleted from iPod but still in iTunes library. help?

So i imported some more CDs to my iTunes and it wouldn't let me drag and drop it to sync. Nothing happened whenever i did that. I ended up pressing sync and it deleted all of my CDs from my iPod 5th generation. they're still in my library, but I have no clue how to get them back on my iPod. i keep dragging them and dropping them but nothing is happening. I also restored a backup, but it was still the same. I'm getting frustrated because the CDs account for most of my music on my iPod. Any help would be much appreciated!

Help with migrating user data from one account to another

I am on a G5 with 10.4.11. I installed FCP studio 6 and everything works fine except compressor. I have had only one user account on this mac (i will call it account 1). I was told to create another account (account 2), log on and see if compressor works. It does. Basically there are files missing on account 1 and compressor won't run. I have installed 3 times and no change.
Anyway I was told to migrate all my user data from account 1 to account 2. I have been looking at threads and want to make sure I am doing the right thing. I found a way to close. Please see if this works. IT may be from the tiger forum:
pick a short user name for your new account. then run the following terminal commands
sudo mkdir /users/newshortname
sudo ditto ~ /users/newshortname
You'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see) after the first command. that's normal. This will copy your current home directory to /users/newshortname. Then go to system preferences->accounts and create a new account with the short name newshortname. You'll get a popup saying that a home directory by that name already exists and asking if you want to use it. say yes.
Anyway, I would like to migrate everything from account 1 to 2 and have all preferences...everything. I would also like to be able to delete the old account...account 1 and rename account 2. Since this is a home MAC, I really don't need it PW protected. I would like this MAC to just use my new account 2 at start up.
Please ask me any questions. This is my editing MAC, and I can't get around inside the OS. I know FCP like the back of my hand, but don't want to screw up this computer.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, you should be able to move most of it by changing permissions.
Network settings could be any/all of these though for instance...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist
As well as the old Keychain & cookies from your Browser.

How to recover mail from deleted account?

Had some problems receiving mail from an account and the service provider suggested I recreate it and try again... In doing so I deleted the old account and have lost all of the messages in the old inbox and sent mail box. I cannot find anywhere where these might have been put and expect that they have disappeared but does anyone have any tips for finding and restoring them?
G5 Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Mail 2.1

It all depends on the type of account and how it was configured. For IMAP-type accounts, mail is stored on the server, and setting up the account again is all that’s needed to regain access to your mail.
If you deleted a POP account, however, then all your mail stored locally in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
If the POP account was configured to leave mail on the server for some time instead of removing it right away when downloaded, incoming mail that’s still on the server can be re-downloaded by setting up the account again, just like for IMAP accounts, but keep in mind that this would only work for received (i.e. not sent) mail that has not yet been removed from the server.
If the messages are not on the server, and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

How to delete sender personalities from deleted accounts?

I'm helping a friend eliminate several obsolete mail accounts in the Tiger Mail program.
She has deleted the old accounts (in Mail Preferences), and now has a single .mac mail account which she is using via Apple Mail, not the browser.
When she composes a new message, the default sending account is still her identity in one of the deleted accounts. She can use the pop-up to switch her identity to her dot-mac account, but how can she make that the default -- and eliminate the obsolete ID from the deleted account?
FYI, the deleted account ID shows in Red on the identity popup when composing mail.
She has rebooted her G5 iMac and the problem persists.
She is running an early version of Tiger (10.4.2?), but I'm not going to talk her through upgrading that over long-distance phone.
The Mail Preferences for her dot-mac mail account appear to be in order and the account works fine. But the deleted account identity still hangs around as the default when composing.

Hi Boece: I'm not familiar with mai preferences within 10.4.2: But maybe give this a try. Within Mail preferences go to "Composing tab" and check mid way down the pane to "Send new mail from" within the drop down list select the account required form there. Good Luck

Deleted account still showing as delegates

In iCal preferences unter the Accounts tab, if you choose "Delegation" you can see a listing of all of the account you have access to. My problem is that even though an account has been deleted in the Workgroup Manager the name still appears under "Accounts I can access". Is there a way to remove these deleted account from the listing? Over several years my list has gotten very long.
Thank you,
Tom

Tom,
If you click on the account, and choose the - icon, you should see this:
What happens if you next click on "Internet Accounts?"

Help transferring data from one account to another

I bought my computer in August 2008 and had previously had an iBook. When transferring my data from my old computer to the new one, I guess I did it wrong so instead of it transferring all to the same place it created two accounts.
Is there way to transfer my music/pics etc to my main account?
Also, my iphone is backed up the other account because thats where all my music is, is there a way to also keep all this data once I am using only the main account?

When you use Migraine Assistant, it transfers the account of the older machine to the newer because the users name is involved in everything, like iTunes playlists etc.,
Since to run Migraine Assistant you need to have gone through setup on the Mac and created the main Admin account, when you Migrate, you transfer the other account so you wind up with two accounts on the new machine.
All you have to do is log into the Admin account of the first user you created, then change the acount status of the Migrained account to Admin and reboot, check it out well, then delete the first Admin account at your own leaisure. However it's best to leave two accounts on the machine, just in case your locked out for some reason.
If you rather transfer your files from one account to another use the Shared Drop Box
If you have three accounts on the machine (original admin and two migrained migrateda accounts), you'll just have to monkey around and clean up the mess.

Need to recover my data from guess account.

I don't know what happen, I was using my laptop and it went grey, and i don't want to reboot my system because
i need to recover my data from the guess account. I know if i reboot the system i will lose everything in my guess
account. Is there anyway i can recover my data.

Nothing you can do, it's going to need to be rebooted to fix it.
You can install OS X on a external drive and download $100 Data Rescue to read the 1's and 0's of deleted files on a hard drive (not a SSD) you can't have Filevault on neither.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Once you do that then you can fix the machine.

Can you recover mail from deleted account?

Using Mail 2.0.5, I kept getting a message that port 25 was blocked, and couldn't receive mail from that account. I didn't think to check .mac for solution, but created a new mail account under a different name, with the same settings. When it worked, I deleted the original account...but didn't realize I'd lose all the mail associated with it in my mail program. Thought it would be stored someplace, but I can't find it anywhere. Is there any way to recover mail from a deleted Mail account?

Never did find a solution to this. However because we are using IMAP accounts most of the mail was cached on the client Macs. So I offlined them, loaded Mail, copied all the mail into local mailboxes, recreated the users, went online and copied the mail back into the new hierarchy.
Still can't believe I did such a daft thing!

Find IP adres from deleted account

Hello,
Today I found out that I was chatting to a catfish, he ore she record me when I was showing my body (I didnt knew that). After the chatting he/she deleted his/her account so I was not able to see what the IP adres was of the skype account. My quistion: How can I find out what the IP adres is of the deleted account? ( anne.panne874 ) So I can go to the police... PLEASE can somebody help me?!

It depends - if you deleted your account from within Mail then it's unlikely you'll be able to get your Sent messages back but the place where they're kept on your Mac is Library > Mail then you'll see your email accounts in that folder - within your email account folder you'll see inbox.mbox, sent messages.mbox etc.
