Date format in mail - "yesterday, the day before,..."

Hello.
When using mail in the new version, the left gutter gathering all the inboxes, each message summary displays the essentials infos.
In many cases the date display is set to show the reception hour on the same day (fine), the previous day is shown as "yesterday" and the day before yesterday as "the day-before-yesterday", and finally "two days ago".
My system is in french thus it's not written" two days ago" but (I translate) "before-before-yesterday".... This doesn't help me anymore.
Here is my question: is there a way to set the date format in the message short in order to have the full numerical date as soon as "yesterday", actually to always have a numerical date display ... no more "avant-avant-hier".
Thanks

Thanks but...
I just sort of just figured out the obvious and noticed, that I'd even have a big problem if that regex of mine worked.... unluckily, there actually seem to be days with a number smaller than 3, but no negative days in the human calendar... so I'm going to rest first and think it over after that. Most likely I'm going to end up subtracting a day in unix-time and converting back, better ideas are not necessary but welcome .
(edit: oh, and thanks again - that might come handy when I ended up with the same $(\[chaos\]) trying the unix time version later)

  • Can't find my posts of yesterday the day before etc.

    I'm so sorry. Everytime I think to get some little progress in handling adobe apps and some of the many administrative tasks I am thrown back ..
    Today my problem is I can't find anymore  the questions /discussions I posted yesterday and days before to get assistance in installing / updating the creative cloud on my notebook.Even searching for the tags I thought to have given to the posts (CC, error 50, update) bring no result. So my simple sos call means How can I follow my posts, what do I have to do to get answers? How to prevent being lost in the endless space of CC and its forums?

  • [solved] grep today, yesterday & the day before

    Wah! (= "hi!")
    I'm trying to grep the last three days of a list - It's killing me:
    | grep -e "\($(($(date +%d)-0))\|$(($(date +%d)-1))\|$(($(date +%d)-2))\) $(date +%b)"
    echo grep[stufffromabove]  says:
    grep -e \(25\|24\|23\) Aug
    ... cat list.txt | grepstufffromabove shows no lines at all. Tried several variations of the line, started all over again a few times but I keep messing it up at some times... yes, and I must admit, I've been confusing myself using about 3 different "regex versions" today (uhm... sed, grep, perl, php?), so maybe I keep messing it up this way again....
    Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

  • Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

    why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
    for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
    but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
    i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

    alsdman,
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

    i have lost my iphone 5 the day before yesterday,and have tried many ways to find it, but in vain. i wandered if there are some useful solutions to such kinds of issues, because lots of people have similar terrible experiences. in china many people have lost ihones, which means you also expose all of your information you have saved in iphones. this is dangerous,because criminals can take advantage of those information. i think apple should talke more measures to stop the thieves from using apples so easily.

    You're using Exchange Active Sync to synchronize contacts and calendars with your company Exchange Server. If the default calendar/address books are set to the Exchange account, it will sync automatically. This is normal.
    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars to change the default address book and calendars to a something else, iCloud or something synced from your home computer instead.

  • Ipad won't turn on, worked fine the day before

    I just set it aside for the night and it worked perfectly fine the day before, but then the next day it won't turn on anymore.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • ICal entries jump to the day before or after

    iCal entries jump to the day before or after the date I entered them on.  It might have to do with me changing time zones. How do I lock the entries to the date I entered them on?

    Hi sahrack,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It does sound like the time zone may be affecting these events. With time zone support you can set a different time zone for any iCal event. If you would like to keep all events within your current time zone moving forward, you may want to disable the time zone support.

  • My issue is not a particular add-on, but not been able to find out which one has the royan hourse in it, every morning it scans throuth all the site visited the day before and send the information somewhere!

    I first started thinking my all Forum passwords was stolen because all the link as mark as read, so I change my passwords but the problem persisted, so I installed a packet sniffer to see is was a problem of my password been taken as I changed them.. but I could not see that.... BUT as I watch the packets I notice al the domain links of the sites I visited the day before (100's) passing through.., I try testing again but only appends one a day (the first time, maybe twice a day) I open Firefox (3.6 - 3.6.13), how can I pin point the bad add-on? I remove the one I thought were the bad ones (a have 40 or so installed) with no luck, I ran Firefox in save mode and the problem went away!!.. Please help.. One of the add-on from the Firefox Add-on site is snooping on you users..

    Two thoughts:
    (1)     It is possible that your Adobe software was the result of belonging to a now-discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program where for a certain annual membership fee, print service providers were provided with (a) both a Windows and Macintosh license to the Adobe print-oriented software products (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat) and (b) special direct product support as well as the ability to put your name on Adobe's website as a member of this program. The program ended over a year ago if I remember correctly.
    (2)     You may wish to contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) and see if they can track down any and all licenses associated with your company. If you have the names of the former employees who worked with this software, it would be helpful. Likewise, if you were a member of the discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program, you may have some options for upgrading/updating the software you have.
    Unfortunately, you cannot get any more definitive information about your situation on these forums.
    Good luck.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • Problem in Date Format when user chages the date format in preferences

    I want to generalize my code so that user can change what ever Date format he wants, I will get the date from the page in the format yyyy-mm-dd, and if the Date Format is
    set to MM/dd/yyyy in prefernces i need to use MM/dd/yyyy and if the Date Format is set to dd-Mon-yyyy in prefernces i need to use dd-MMM-yy, so my question is how to know what Date format is set in the preference so that i can have all the possible date format for inserting the date
    Thanks
    Babu

    Babu,
    The date format in OAF Pages is controlled by profile ICX: Date format mask.This profile can be set at site as well as user level for the individual users to set the Date format.
    But I would advice not to go for setting different profile values at user level, because i remember some old threads, where seeded Oracle pages fail, as code their is not generalised to handle date formats.
    If your are planning to have this in ur custom page, go ahead, but do check the entire flow is working fine for different values of this profile at user level.

  • Changing date format for some of the date columns in a subject area

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to change the date format for some of the date columns to dd-mon-yyy for only a particular subject area. Is there a feature available in the RPD which can help me do this?
    In Answers - Column Properties for a Particular column of a report, we can save the style and formatting as system wide default for the particular column or the data type, but that applies across subject areas.
    I tried with the config files too , but that too applies to all suject areas.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Gaurav

    Why don't you create 2 logical column derived from same date physical col and then change the format for one logical column and use it in Subject Area ?

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment
