Email duplication - files copy instead of move - originals still in inbox

Hi all, I am new to this site. i just got an iphone and have to say that while most of the multimedia features are awesome, I am having much difficulty with the 'business' features.
I have set-up up my corporate email - it is on an exchange server but my IT ppl set-up the phone through IMAP I think because I don't have the 'Enterprise monthly package'. I am not using mobileme either.
Emails are syncing (wirelessly) however I am having 2 major issues...
1. The mailbox does not always automatically update with new mail as it should through the 'push' service. Most times I have to open the mailbox on the iphone and then it will prompt the mailbox to connect and retrieve new mail.
2. The 2nd issue I have is that when I move emails from my inbox to a subfolder (under the inbox) on my iphone, it is not moving them on my PC mailbox. Well, it is moving the files but the original file also remains in the inbox. I don't have this problem when I move files on my PC- the iphone seems to recognize and not duplicate but when i move on the iphone, it does not move the original file on my pc). Shouldn't the 2 mailboxes (iphone & PC) be identical?
Lastly, I am very disappointed that I am unable to wirelessly sync my calendar and contacts from Outlook without purchasing an additional monthly package from AT&T? Most other service providers offer this at no additional charge. if anybody knows of any applications that will wirelessly sync calendar and contacts (2 way push), please post that as well.
Thanks in adavmce for any help!!

disregard the last post- I just realized i submitted to the wrong forum.
Thanks

  • Hyper-V Storage Live Migration: Copy instead of move?

    Have a 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with a HP MSA 2000 Storage. No storage pools or storage spaces, just 4 LUN's with NTFS Volumes that are all converted to CSV's.
    Have to perform VM migration from VM's that resides on a CSV with an underlying RAID 5 volume to another CSV with an underlying RAID 50 volume. Could perform the operation without any error from the failover cluster manager (move - virtual machine storge) on
    the VM. 
    The problem is that when I check C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1 (the old place of the VM) and C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2 (the new place of the VM), all VM files are still in both locations! Apparently, a "Copy" operation instead of a "move" operation
    was performed.
    - Why are the source files not have been deleted after the successful storage migration?
    - Is it safe to manually delete the VM files in C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Hi FranzSchenk,
    To perform a move, FOCM first copys the files over to the new location and then moves the mahine over to the new location with all memory and machine writes before then removing the old files. If the files haven't been removed (this does happen)
    it could be permission's that stop the files being removed.
    It would be worth checking the running VMs and checking where its pointing for the virtual drives and perhaps look at where its BIN file is for memory and where the XML machine configuration is located. If all are pointing to the new location
    then it would be safe to delete the old files.  
    Kind Regards

    Hi Michael
    Do you have more specific information what kind of permission issue you mean, and how we can correct that? And why is no warning or error message visible or in the eventlogs that the source files have not been deleted during the live strorage migration?
    Kind regards, Franz

  • Why do some files copy when I move them?

    This seems to happen with most files lately. When I use the drag and drop method of moving files, my Mac wants to copy them to the new location rather that move them in the traditional manner.

    I do see that behavior if I try to drag an item's "preview icon" from column view's preview column. I also can't drag that preview icon to the Trash.
    Icons in the preview column seem to be "special", though - I'm not sure what they actually represent. I wonder also if Finder becomes "busy" with an item when you click on it's preview icon. I can move the same item from its regular column-view list without having to copy it, so it's not a permissions issue.

  • Issues with File Polling and File Copy in a Cluster

    Hi,
    I have a 2 node cluster of SOA 11.1.1.5. Running into an issue.
    I have a File Poll Process which picks up new files and then copy them over to another directory [using COPY operation of file adapter]. After that using FTP Adapter to ftp the file [using MOVE operation of FTP]. Now if I place a file Poll is creating 2 instances. I have configured HAFile Adapter and HAFTPAdapter. Now if I remove the file COPY operation I see only one instance as soon as I put back file copy it creates multiple instances again. Any idea what might be wrong.
    I am following the document for file copy and ftp move http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#BABEBJAF section
    4.5 Oracle File and FTP Adapters Use Cases
    But in a cluster if I use file copy I see multiple instances of Polling instances.
    Thanks

    Hi I use WLI studio to add a user in a clustered environment (admin + 2managed
    wli servers). I see the following message in the logs:
    ####<Dec 3, 2003 1:05:02 PM MST> <Warning> <Security> <suznd265><eflow_2323_wli

    As a result, the user, that I added is not actually visible to the othermanaged
    servers in the cluster. I have verified this by having only one managedserver
    up when adding the user. Once I have added the user, I boot the othermanaged
    server and bring the first managed server down. The user I have justcreated gets
    lost.
    This occurs if you make the change on the managed server. Can you make the
    change on
    the admin server? It should get pushed to the managed servers.

  • How to safely delete movies if I originally clicked Keep File instead of Move to Trash?

    Hi,
    100 GB of my 250GB hard drive is iTunes movies, and I'm about out of space on the drive. So I went through the process of deleting the movies from iTunes, making sure to leave the "Also delete this item from iCloud" unchecked on the prompt "Are you sure you want to delete this copy of the selected item?", but I incorrectly clicked Keep File instead of Move to Trash on the prompt "Do you want to move the selected item to the Trash, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder?"
    So my hard drive is still full and I'm not able to get back to the offer to Move to Trash. When I went to the Media folder and moved a movie to the Trash myself, iTunes would no longer start, giving me error 13014. So I returned the movie to the media folder and iTunes was able to start again. When I try to delete the movie from within iTunes, it now only gives the option to hide the movie.
    Is there a way to safely remove the files from my hard drive without breaking iTunes?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    No easy push-button solution I can think of.
    You could export the main itunes Music playlist into a spreadsheet and use that to compare what windows explorer has.
    Right-click Music in the itunes source list, export it as XML, and import it into a spreadsheet program so you can arrange it by whatever seems esiet to search on.
    Another thing you could do, is create a blank library, import all your existing music and see how many songs are in the new library vs. your old library. For god's sake make sure you have the itunes preferene to copy files turned off when you do this, so you don't gets a bunch of duplicated files on your hard drive.
    Then you could switch back and forth between your libraries to check things out.
    How to use alternate libraries:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/8.1/en/15502.html
    Just keep in mind, itunes always tries to use the last library it opened unless you do the shift-start.

  • Automatic deletion of temp files and Disabling copy to option of originals in DMS

    Dear DMS Experts,
    I have 3 requirements, I have searched the net ,but I am still clueless as to how to do it.
    1) The temporary files created in C;\temp ( or the path we have given in dc20 ) has to be deleted after viewing the documents because of security reasons.
    I heard about enabling the OLE2 option in table TDWX, but I am not sure .
    2) The 'copy to' option of originals has to be disabled in display mode ( CV03N ). Adding further, the 'save as' and 'print option' for MS Office applications ( word, excel ) has to be disabled due to security reasons( I tried with both office integration and %AUTO% )
    3) In product browser view ( using folder structure in CV01N ), I need the users to have 'delete link as ' option disabled as they are not supposed to delete the folders created by admin ( Deleting means deleting from the structure and not from the system) . For this, I have given authorization object for bill of materials for the users and disabled 'delete' checkbox as well as 'Delete from database' checkbox . But still, I am able to delete the folders from the structure.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Aravind

    Hi Chandu,
    I am still in the dark regarding Q2 and Q3 . Regarding Q2, I tried disabling the check out options and also try opening it in SAP Script or smartform by populating the entries in the originals to the smartform. But still download option is possible. Hence I have raised to SAP service market place.
    Regarding Q3 , I am trying to use custom authorization object .

  • Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy  "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

    I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy  "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

    Hi
    I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot delete messages from inbox, cannot move messages out of inbox, message do not copy to "sent" or "draft"

    The following problems occur:
    - cannot delete messages,
    - cannot move messages out of inbox,
    - messages do not copy "sent"
    - messages cannot be saved to "draft"
    This applies to imap and to gmail accounts.
    The following has not helped:
    - compact trash and other folder
    - deinstall and reinstall TB 31.4.
    - archive profile with mozbackup and replace profile from archive after reinstall of TB.
    - deinstall and reinstall TB 31.3 downgraded
    - delete all folders and files with "trash*" in the file name (all IMAP)
    - delete all files of 1 mail account completely in the TB profile and resync from server (IMAP)
    This might coincide with these system changes:
    - upgrade to TB 31.4.
    - some of these email accounts were installed on ios8 iphone.
    Not sure if the problems had already started before these 2 occurrences.
    Any help is appreciated to solve this.
    Thanks!

    What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If POP, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?
    You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
    Does this account allow web access? If not, you may find the Account Info window useful to solve this problem — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window.

  • How to measure progress of file copy?

    One of the requirements for my AIR application is to copy
    large files from one location to another on the client computer.
    I've been using the copyToAsync() method in AIR, but unfortunately
    this does not trigger progress events. Copying gigabyte files that
    take several seconds becomes pretty uncomfortable for users, when
    they can't see the progress.
    Does anyone know of an alternative or workaround? All I need
    to do is copy a file from one location to another, and measure the
    progress while that is happening.
    Since I control the client machines (it is a closed
    environment), I have the option to setup file servers on every
    machine and use the file download control with Flash instead of
    file copy. However, when I investigate this option it seems that
    the file download control will always trigger user interaction to
    select the target path (which I don't want -- I want to
    programatically select the source files and the target directory).
    If someone knows a solution to that problem I would happily take it
    and move on :)

    Hi,
    Use 2 FileStream objects in async mode (openAsync). One to
    read and another to write. When you read in async mode, you get
    progress events. When they fire, you can read bytesAvailable
    amounts of data and write that to the output filestream.
    The output filestream can listen for output_progress events
    to ensure that new data can be written to it or not.

  • Network speed affected by large file copy operations. Also, why intermittent network outages?

    Hi
    I have a couple of issues on our company network.
    The first is thate a single large file copy imapcts the entire network and dramatically reduces network speed and the second is that there are periodic outages where file open/close/save operations may appear to hang, and also where programs that rely on
    network connectivity e.g. email, appear to hang. It is as though the PC loses it's connection to the network, but the status of the network icon does not change. For the second issue if we wait the program will respond but the wait period can be up to 1min.
    The downside of this is that this affects Access databases on our server so that when an 'outage' occurs the Access client cannot recover and hangs permamnently.
    We have a Windows Active Directory domain that comprises Windows 2003 R2 (soon to be decommissioned), Windows Server 2008 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard domain controllers. There are two member servers: A file server running Windows 2008 Storage
    Server and a remote access server (which also runs WSUS) running Windows Server 2012 Standard. The clients comprise about 35 Win7 PC's and 1 Vista PC.
    When I copy or move a large file from the 2008 Storage Server to my Win7 client other staff experience massive slowdowns when accessing the network. Recently I was moving several files from the Storage Server to my local drive. The files comprised pairs
    (e.g. folo76t5.pmm and folo76t5.pmi), one of which is less than 1MB and the other varies between 1.5 - 1.9GB. I was moving two files at a time so the total file size for each operation was just under 2GB.
    While the file move operation was taking place a colleague was trying to open a 36k Excel file. After waiting 3mins he asked me for help. I did some tests and noticed that when I was not copying large files he could open the Excel file immediately. When
    I started copying more data from the Storage Server to my local drive it took several minutes before his PC could open the Excel file.
    I also noticed on my Win7 client that our email client (Pegasus Mail), which was the only application I had open at the time would hang when the move operation was started and it would take at least a minute for it to start responding.
    Ordinarlily we work with many files
    Anyone have any suggestions, please? This is something that is affecting all clients. I can't carry out file maintenance on large files during normal work hours if network speed is going to be so badly impacted.
    I'm still working on the intermittent network outages (the second issue), but if anyone has any suggestions about what may be causing this I would be grateful if you could share them.
    Thanks

    What have you checked for resource usage during one of these copies of a large file?
    At a minimum I would check Task Manager>Resource Monitor.  In particular check the disk and network usage.  Also, look at RAM and CPU while the copy is taking place.
    What RAID level is there on the file server?
    There are many possible areas that could be causing your problem(s).  And it could be more than one thing.  Start by checking these things.  And go from there.
    Hi, JohnB352
    Thanks for the suggestions. I have monitored the server and can see that the memory is nearly maxed out with a lot of hard faults (varies between several hundred to several thousand), recorded during normal usage. The Disk and CPU seem normal.
    I'm going to replace the RAM and double it up to 12GB.
    Thanks! This may help with some other issues we are having. I'll post back after it has been done.
    [Edit]
    Forgot to mention: there are 6 drives in the server. 2 for the OS (Mirrored RAID 1) and 4 for the data (Striped RAID 5).

  • Large file copy to iSCSI drive fills all memory until server stalls.

    I am having the file copy issues that people have been having with various versions of Server now for years, as can be read in the forums. I am having this issue on Server 2012 Std., using Hyper-V.
    When a large file is copied to an iSCSI drive, the file is copied into memory first faster than it can be sent over the network. It fills all available GB of memory until the server, which is a VM host, pretty much stalls and also all the VMs stall. This
    continues until the file copy is finished or stopped, then the memory is gradually released as it is taken out of memory as it is sent over the network.
    This issue was happening on send and receive. I change the registry setting for Large Cache to disable it, and now I can receive large files from the iSCSI. They now take an additional 1 GB of memory and it sits there until the file copy is finished.
    I have tried all the NIC and disk settings as can be found in the forums around the internet that people have posted in regard to this issue.
    To describe in a little more detail, when receiving a file from iSCSI, the file copy windows shows a speed of around 60-80 MB / sec, which is wire speed. When sending a file to iSCSI, the file copy window shows a speed of 150 MB/sec, which is actually the
    speed at which it is being written to memory. The NIC counter in Task Mgr shows instead the actual network speed which is about half of that. The difference is the rate at which memory fills until it is full.
    This also happens when using Window Server Backup. It freezes up the VM Host and Guests while the host backup is running because of this issue. It does cause some software issues.
    The problem does not happen inside the Guests. I can transfer files to a different LUN on the same iSCSI, which uses the same NIC as the Host with no issue.
    Does anyone know if the fix has been found for this? All forum posts I have found for this have closed with no definite resolution found.
    Thanks for you help.

    Hi,
    Sorry if it causes confusion but "by design" I mean "by design it will use memory for copying files via network".
    In Windows 2000/2003, the following keys could help control the memory usage:
    LargSystemCache (0 or 1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
    Size (1, 2 or 3) in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameter
    I saw threads mentioned that it will not work in later systems such as Windows 2008 R2.
    For Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2008, there is a service named Microsoft Windows Dynamic Cache Service which addressed this issue:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9258
    However I searched and there is no update version for Windows 2012 and 2012 R2.
    I also noticed that the following command could help control the memory usage. With value = 1, NTFS uses the default amount of paged-pool memory:
    fsutil behavior set memoryusage 1
    You need a reboot after changing the value.

  • Why does lightroom 3.3 delete files it 'fails' to move? and why does it fail?

    I'm in the process of moving a bunch of images around between machines, so from a remote machine I copied 10gb or so of .cr2, .jpg and .thm files into a temporary holding location on a local sata drive. I then started an import on the machine from the temporary holding location to the location I wanted the files at (which is a drive different than the temporary location). Lightroom trundled along for quite a while. Then reported to me that it had failed to move some files (The list was ALL the files).
    I went to look at the temporary holding location on the boot drive and all the files were gone. I looked at the location I tried to import them to, and they were in fact there. HOWEVER they were not added to the catalog in lightroom!

    Greetings..
      I'm not sure what you mean by "force LR to import..."
    It all depends on your work flow, and how you use LR, not any forcing.  For example, I use keywords and collections.  I organize my photos in the _folders_ by the method I mentioned.  Then use collections to make up my groupings and sorted images.  As for importing, every photograph taken has at least the date taken in it, and LR import options have a lot of different ways to use that date to import them.  I selected one that works for me, and then just have to select the MajorProject as the toplevel folder on the import destination.  LR creates all of the underlying folders.
    I then use the Move option, and LR will move all of my images from the source directory into the destination.  Note:  This will not work from a portable drive, due to LR not being allowed to delete images from portable disks.  You'd have to use Copy, and delete the originals after you've seen them in their new home.
    Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you renamed your files, or was that a byproduct of how you did it?  I try not to rename my images, if possible.  I know that having multiple images with the same name causes some problems with a few export modules (I updated one, and had to recreate my export collection.  It took the first file by that name it found, which, of course, turned out not to be the correct image).
    The key here of course, is to keyword your images.  I now have several ways to search for images;  those taken by date, by project, and of course by keywords.
    Cheers!
