Double click separator to show/hide main message

I have Mavericks (unfortunately) on my MacBook Pro and Mountain Lion (thankfully) on my Mac Mini. Is there now any way in Mavericks Mail to double-click the line that separates the emails list from the single email to show/hide the single email. In Mountain Lion and below you've always been able to do this and it's really useful, especially when wading through your spam folder.
Any ideas?

I think I discovered an alternate solution.
But first I want to clarify the symptom the I've been experiencing...
In the Standard or Classic layout, when the preview pane is open and I drag the divider bar to close the pane the divider stops at a certain point. In Standard layout, it stops about 2-3" from the right edge of the window. In Classic layout, it stops about 1" from the bottom edge of the window. I can't make the divider go any farther, so I can't close the pane entirely. In addition, double-clicking the divider bar doesn't close the pane either (like it did in earlier versions of OS X.
The solution? Drag the divider bar all the way to the edge of the window. You won't see the divider bar move until your cursor is literally on the edge of the window, then... snap, the divider bar jumps to the edge of the window and the preview pane closes.
You don't need to do anything special in Preferences or switch layouts or anything. Simply drag all the way to the edge of the window, the divider bar will snap to the edge and the preview pane will close.
For reference, to open the preview pane, just drag the divider (that's on the edge of the window) away from the edge just a little and it will jump to the minimum distances mentioned above.
I hope this helps other Mac Mail users.

    I have been sent a secure CD of zip folders but double clicking only comes up with the message unable to unarchive, error 1 - operation not permitted, any ideas please?

    First thing coming to mind:
    do you double-click on the zip files on the CD ?
    Maybe the "unzip" tries to write in-place to the CD which of course is not possible.
    Have you tried to copy one of them to your OSX volume/harddisk and thhen double-click the copy ?

  • Double clicking on trash shows what seems to be a copy of my hard drive

    My 21/2 year old daughter turned on my computer and started playing while unsupervised. Now my hard drive is named "x" and when I double click on the trash icon (which shows it is empty) I see what I would normally see if I double clicked on my hard drive icon. The machine boots fine and the internet connection even works, but I have these duplicate folders on my hard drive and trash. Needless to say there are many missing folders and my mail info is all missing and my address book is blank. I'm not so concerned with what I lost, but what is the best way to get back to normal. Of course I did not get my back-up scheme working yet. Any takers?

    Mark:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you did not get your backup working yet, now is the time to do it. Before you try to straighten things around you should make a backup of your computer.
    Good luck.

  • After upgrade to EMET v4.1 and reboot EMET_Agent didn't self-restarted but now double clicking its icon shows error "Admin privileges are required"

    Hello all,
    after on my Windows XP SP3 test client I upgraded to EMET v4.1 (from v4.0) and rebooted I noticed the following:
    - EMET_Agent didn't self-restarted so I had to run it manually (and I noticed that after it started it also self-added an undocumented --NoRestart command line option),
    - now that its icon is already in SysTray (Notification Area) the error "Admin privileges are required" appears whenever I double click on it or select 'Open EMET', so in case of need I can run EMET_GUI.exe only manually.
    Is all this normal and expected or there can be any other possibly known way to avoid or definitely fix both effects ?
    P.S. If to better show effects also providing any bitmap should be needed, then please just let me know.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful reply or suggestion. Regards.
    Rob

    Hello everyone again,
    I'm updating this post to ensure anyone interested may know how to definitely solve this issue.
    After verifying that same annoying issue was also found with EMET 4.1 update 1 (valid for its 1st 4/30/2014 release, and verified also with
    current and latest 5/29/2014 version) I recently made some little more investigation and after noticing its weird command line (reported by Process Explorer) simply as :
    --NoRestart
    I simply ensured to manually force same option to be properly set at startup, and that's it. :-D
    So here you are quick updated versions of :
    - EMET41NotificationFix.reg
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "EMET Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\EMET 4.1\\EMET_Agent.exe\" --NoRestart"
    - EMET41upd1NotificationFix.reg
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "EMET 4.1 Update 1 Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\EMET 4.1\\EMET_Agent.exe\" --NoRestart"
    I hope this helps (and if it does then please be kind and vote this post as useful... ;-) ) while to some forum moderator I'm asking to kindly mark this post as Answer.
    P.S. It's just a pity that latest current version of EMET 4.1.1 (aka 4.1 update 1) cannot easily install over its 1st release (its setup suggest to 1st remove existing version), anyway I've found a tricky (hacked) way to overcome this limitation while also
    avoiding reboot so in future I'll consider to share it publicly in a different discussion.

  • Double Click HTML5

    On our system simulation courses, there are some click boxes that need to have Double Click, the generated course handle one click well and show the Fail message if the user miss, but if it´s a Double Click, it zooms like a normal Ipad gesture, anyone has a workaround for that? Maybe load a JS library?

    Thank TLC the fact is that the function should be implemented inside the click box options of the internal captivate function, I´m not using a custom button or calling a JS im using a simple click box.
    If a user click a click box with a double click set on the cp.js should be able to recognize in the ipad. I could add to the cp.js but that´s should be easier to find the gold treasure.
    If I have to manually do that will take all my life, we have about 101 courses.

  • I can not open one more new window of FF by double-clicking on FF icon

    I can open only 1 browser window FF
    I want to open another.
    - I can open by selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu. It's normal.
    - But I can't open by double-clicking on FF icon. The message happens in this case: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    Before double-clicking on FF, I checked processs at Task Manager and just one process "firefox.exe" is running.
    I try many ways to troubleshoot this problem such as:
    - install FF again
    - run safe mode
    - Update all add-on
    - add new profile in Profile manager and run with new one
    - I follow the anwser of post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/770203
    But can't fix this problem.
    I'm looking forward to your earliest reply
    Thank so much

    There is the Free  iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
    http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
    Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
    There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
    Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
    http://perian.org/#watch
    It's the video at the bottom of the page.
    Last but not least (as some of the above may not work with Snow Leopard or Lion) there is the 'pwn trick':
    For example, the full youtube site for your movie is:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC2XIGMI ... e=youtu.be
    As soon as the movie starts, pause it and add 'pwn' in front of the youtube part of the url so it looks like this:
    http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=bC2XI ... e=youtu.be
    Hit Return and then follow the instructions.

  • Files not opening on double click (Gnome)

    That is the problem im having.
    Im using a virtual Arch (virtualbox) via RDP ... all the system is fine. The only thing not working is that whenever i double click on any document//picture/archive it does not open it's default app....
    I dont think is something to do with the RDP protocol because if i open the mouse settings manager, where you have a small zone for testing the double click actions (the small bulb that lights on/off when you double click) the test shows that the system is actually detecting a double mouse click.............. is there any global settings, in gconf-editor, perhaps, where i can correct this?
    thank you!

    Solved: I had nautilus-elementary from archlinux.fr
    I did: pacman -Rd nautilus-elementary
    then:

  • Show/hide pointer issue

    Show pointer option is not working as it used to be with last 2 versions of photoshop touch for iphone on iphone 6.
    While making a selection with lasso tool with "show pointer on" I can not carry on selection step by step, it works a few steps properly then I had to wait for a while so that it can go further step.

    I apologize for the confusion. Let me try to start over, following the instructions you are asking to provide. The computer that has Photoshop installed is from school, so I will try the best I can giving you detailed specs. For what I know, It is a PC running Windows 7 64bit, but I do not know the amount of RAM as I do not have permission to access the control panel or any of its system settings. The version of Photoshop is CS6 13.0 Extended, and its performance preferences re the following...
    Available Ram: 34827MB
    IdealRange: 1884-2467MB
    Allow Photoshop to use: 2056MB
    HardDrive: 835GB
    as for the error, there is no error. I might of not been specific, but I am not stupid not to include the type of error if there was any...
    Other things like the grand total ram, video card, and video ram are all accessible by the administrator only.
    the file I am working on, is an imported 3ds Max file. I was trying to use Photoshop's 3D painting tool, and from what I understand, it is possible to hide polygons by selecting an area you would like to keep, and what is not selected gets hidden. This is supposed to be good for painting areas that are behind parts of the mesh that is in the way. From the instruction, you are suppose to select the area that you want to keep, and then choose 3d->Show/Hide Polygons->Within Selection. This part I was able to do. Once I was happy with what I needed to paint, I then selected 3d->Show/Hide Polygons-> invert. This allowed me to continue painting other hard areas of the mesh by revealing what was hidden and hides what is visible. Then, when I was ready to reveal the entire mesh back, I was thinking that I should be able to do this by clicking on 3d->Show/Hide Polygon->Reveal All. However, this only reverts the visibility back the other way around as if I clicked on revert.
    So what I was wondering is if this is how the 3d reveal all tool works or is this a bug?
    I hope this clear things up, if not, please let me know.

  • Photoshop CS6 Show/Hide Polygons issue

    Hi. I am doing an assignment for class, using Photoshop CS6, and I am having problems with the show/hide polygons feature. After hiding the polygons of the unselected area, I am able to reveal the entire object by choosing "Reveal All". However, if I ever need to invert the other polygons, by choosing 'Invert Visible", and then want to reveal the entire object again, all it does is inverts it back the other way around. Is this a bug, or is this how it works?

  • How Do I Adjust the Double-Click Speed in 10.8.3

    Hi. I only found this to adjust the double click speed for Lion http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4930
    but how do you adjust it if your Lion's version is 10.8.3?
    Thank you for your time.
    Have a great sunday & a nice sunday mass.
    God bless.

    For 10.8.3,  it's in System Preferences > Accessiblity > highlight Mouse & trackpad on the left.  The Double click speed slider shows on the right.  Moving it to the left gives you more time between clicks.  Moving it right gives you less time.

  • How do I hide the "preview panel" in Mail. Double clicking the "separator bar" hasn't worked ( I think I know where that bar is.)

    How can I hide the "preview panel" in Mail? Double clicking on the "separator bar" , as directed by Mail Help, does nothing. ( I am not certain where that bar is, but believe it to be the zone where the preview panel and the message space meet.) This issue only arose after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    The only way I found to hide the "preview panel" is to drag the separator to the edge of the window. It shrinks the panel down to perhaps 1/2 inch in height and then disappears only when you drag it to the bottom (classic layout) or perhaps a couple inches wide (in the new layout). It is also annoying to me that you can double click to open the preview panel but you cannot repeat that to hide it. [sigh]
    I submitted feedback about the help file as well - you may want to do the same. I could not find the double click mentioned in the new "Mail Help" - I know it was in the old version.
