Folders with forward slashes in the name not appearing in Mail.app Exchange

Has anybody else seen this? For folders with forward slashes in the name, such as "Meetings/Events", the folder shows up in Outlook Web Access and over Exchange in Entourage 2008, but not Exchange over IMAP with Mail.app in Snow Leopard. The folder shows up once I remove the forward slashes, such as "Meetings Events" or "Meetings-Events" or "Meetings and Events".
Is this a known issue, and is there a fix besides renaming the folders?

In Unix the forward slash is an illegal character for a filename. In general you should avoid using it as the forward slash is used in path names such as /Folder/File. Avoid using the colon as well because it's commonly used as part of a disk identifier in OS X.
This is not any different than avoiding the backslash in Windows filenames.

  • Reply and forward icons not appearing in mail app when I respond/forward from Gmail

    When I reply or forward an email within the iphone mail app, the arrow icons showing I replied or forwarded appear beside the email in my iphone mail app inbox.
    When I reply or forward from gmail, these icons do not appear in my iphone mail app.  Does show that I have read and flagging/unflagging works.
    Any thoughts?

    Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your mail again.

  • Artists with numbers at front of name not appearing at top of library list

    When i transfered my iTunes library from an external hard drive to my new iMac, artists whose names begin with a number, i.e. 2 Live Crew, .38 Special etc., no longer appeared at the top of the list of artists in the music library. They did before on my previous iMac. They would appear alphabetically as to where they would be if the numbers were spelled out instead. Any ideas how to change them back?

    If you Get Info on any song, you'll see a Sorting pane. That will permit you to tell iTunes how to alphabetize the track. If the Artist field is "2 Live Crew", you might enter "AA 2 Live Crew" to sort it with the AA's — i.e., at the beginning of your library. You can then control-click the track and use "Apply Sort Fields..." to copy the sorting data to all other tracks by that artist.

  • ADAM, LDAPContext Container Name with Forward Slash

    Hi,
    I am having trouble writing some Java code, which will create a container/folder in ADAM, where the container name and distinughed name contain a forward slash.
    e.g.
    cn=test/test
    dn=CN=test/test,CN=TestStore,DC=MyCompany,DC=COM
    LdapContext _ctx = getNewContext(valid_userName, valid_userName, valid_userName);
      // uses InitialLdapContext under the hood
    String containerDN = "dn=CN=test/test,CN=TestStore,DC=MyCompany,DC=COM"
    _ctx.createSubcontext(containerDN, attrs); // assume attrs is valid javax.naming.directory.AttributesI am struggling to escpae the forward slash from the Java String object, and yet allow the InitialLdapContext to create the container with the name.
    From the ADAM Adsi Edit application, I can create folders with forward slashes, so I presume the process can be done from code as well.
    Many thanks in advance ...

    Create a Name rather than passing a String.

  • File Sharing - Shared folder with forward slash in name

    I can't remove it.

  • Applescript: How to reference to a filename with forward slash character?

    Hi,
    I have this script line:
    do shell script "lpadmin -p CIN-East-Copier -E -v lpd://192.168.51.78 -P '/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/LANIER MP C5501/LD655C'"
    The filename is "LANIER MP C5501/LD655C", the forward slash in the name is a character, not a folder structure.
    The script above works perfectly for drivers without the forward character.  Can anyone help me how to make it work?  I tried replacing the forward slash with URL encoded character, changing the structure to colon delimited (i.e. Macintosh HD:Library:Printers....etc), none work.
    Thanks!

    Since the / is the standard directory delimiter, it is not usually valid in a filename. It's extremely unusual to find such a character in a filename. However, all is not lost... there is a trick.
    Since the standard Mac OS paths used colon-delimited paths, and UNIX uses slash-delimited, there is a kind of hybrid solution... you can use the colon in the shell and it interprets as a slash, e.g.:
    do shell script "lpadmin -p CIN-East-Copier -E -v lpd://192.168.51.78 -P '/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/LANIER MP C5501:LD655C'"
    I haven't tried it, but you might need to escape (with a backslash) the colon:
    do shell script "lpadmin -p CIN-East-Copier -E -v lpd://192.168.51.78 -P '/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/LANIER MP C5501\\:LD655C'"

    I'm in iPhone 5.  I transfer photos to a Windows 7 PC, using the USB cable.  Lately, the photos are appearing in Windows Explorer within monthly folders, with gibberish titles.  The folder names will be 8 random letters and numeric characters.  I tend to let photos build up, so there are about 2 years worth of these monthly folders… Between 20 and 25.  This is a huge hassle… I'm unable to tell what months are in each folder, by the folder name.…  Have to open each folder to see which month is in there.  I want to be able to look at all the photos on the iPhone in one view, as I was able to in the past.  How do I stop this foldering of photos, by months??  Thank you.  BC

    I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!

  • Creating a Folder Within Form or Document Library & Display the name not in the name column.

    I have created a form library that will used to create folders within that. The folder creation is done using an InfoPath Form that has been uploaded to the Form Library. When the new folder was created the name will be displayed at the Name column within
    the Form Library. I want to change that to another column like documents or suchlike.
    Can it be done using InfoPath 2010 VSTA C# or not? If their are other options available please could you try to inform me!

    Hi,     
    If you want to show the name of folder in another column, a workaround is that you can create an extra column, then create a SharePoint Designer workflow to set the value of
    this column with the name of folder.
    Here is a link about Create Workflow using SharePoint Designer and set field value for your reference:

  • HT202905 Applescript is exporting folders with a space after the foldername.

    Applescript is exporting folders with a space after the foldername. This is causing problems with an FTP upload of ours. Is there a way to ensure Applescript doesn't insert spaces on the end of folder names?
    Thank you!

    i bought a used 2 year old macbook pro last week did an erase and install with leopard and once that was done with nothing transfered firewire the drive had over 20 gigs of used space on it so i started snooping around and saw a number of folders in a folder labeled base system that have a solid red circle with a white dash in the middle next to them after clicking on them it says i do not have permission even though i am in under admin?
    the fact that you are an admin doesn't mean that you automatically have access to everything. those folders are owned by the system and have restricted permissions. you should not mess with them. those permissions are mostly restricted to prevent curious users with itchy fingers from damaging the system. as an admin user you can change those permissions and give yourself access to those folders but as i said you shouldn't.
    any ideas to what it is what to do or why it took over 20 gigs to install?
    20 Gigs sounds like a bit too much. have you installed any programs besides leopard itself?

  • Import connections with + (plus) sign in the name

    Hi...
    There seems to be an issue with importing connections that contain a "+" sign in the (reference) name.
    This is easy to replicate:
    * Create a new connection and name it e.g. "Test 123 +" (no matter if there are whitespaces or not)
    * Export the connections (e.g. c:\temp\exp.xml)
    * Look at the XML- you will find the connections names as they are...
    * Now delete the test connection in SQL developer and try to import the connection from the file
    I do not get any errors but nothing happens either. The connection simply gets skipped. When importing a connection file with many connection entries in it it will import all but those with a "+" sign in the name (this might apply to other characters as well).

    But you said your connection had a '+' so that should still be good. Maybe it also had one of the other characters above?
    You can override the check we do in the UI and manually edit the connections XML file to change the name to whatever you desire.Alas, only white-space and dash/minus signs in mine, I figured colon was bad. (e.g. Group - subgroup1, Group - subgroup2 type names)
    I do have one that is just named as a hostname, with the periods, but I don't see that in the list.

  • S3 backup can't upload files with apostrophe​s in the name

    s3 backup doesn't seem to be able to upload any file with an apostrophe in the name.  I see a load of "Unable to upload 'foo bar's.file' to Amazon S3" warnings in the event log.  The log is littered with file names that contain an apostrope.  This seems to be the thing that stands out in common with all of the failed transfers.  Is there some way to workaround the problem besides renaming all files containing apostropes?
    It seems like an easy fix to properly escape single quotes in the name for upload though, but I suppose that I'll need a firmware fix for a change like that.

     Hello spitzcor
    Have you checked your Amazon S3 account to see if the files have actually uploaded to the bucket or if they did indeed fail to upload?
    I also recommend that you contact support to have an incident created.  There is a hotfix for 4.1.108 that updates the Amazon S3 applications API version and might help with what you are experiencing, although it is intended for a seperate Amazon S3 issue.

  • HT1349 My apple ID is different than the name that appears on my emails.

    Can someone please help?  I cannot figure out how to change my email name (not the address but the name that appears when my email is received).  Can anyone guide me on how to change the profile name for my email?
    The basic issue is:
         Apple ID:                     JohnDoe
         Email Address:            [email protected]
         Name in From Field:     SusanDoe
    When I draft an email there is a box to pick the "from" address and my options are:
         Susan Doe <[email protected]>
         Susan Doe <[email protected]>
         Susan Doe <[email protected]>
    People who receive my emails think they are coming from my wife...yes, Susan Doe is my wife.  I am positng this in iPhone but, it happens no matter where I send an email from.

    It sounds like it has to do with how you set up your email account, since it happens with other devices than your phone. Check your email account settings on your computer.
