Hate the way the new Message Center looks - Way to change this?

After being on the old email view for a while (and having no problem with it), I was suddenly forced onto it today. I really dislike the appearance very much. I have it set up so there's a preview of the email at the bottom. However, it seems the "header" part of the email (with the email title, author, and a strange silhouette pic of a man's head) is larger than the body of the email itself. I don't know if it's because I'm on a rather small netbook computer and it would look better on an actual desktop computer, or if it's the way it's just supposed to look. It's frustrating that the email body part of the window is so tiny and I really have to scroll to see most of it.
I looked at the appearance settings and it seems there is no way to change this. I saw there is a way to change the amount of emails on each page, so that's set at 30 (so I can easily delete old messages). Would changing this make a difference?
I really dislike the silhouette picture of a man's head next to the sender's name and it looks like this is part of the reason why the header part is so large. Also the font of the email title is a little too large for my liking. Is there a way to make this smaller?
I guess I sound picky, but I liked the way the old one looked better and it's hard to read the body of my emails with the header part taking up so much room (and yes, I have the "Display Email Details" option disabled, so that is not the problem). Would it look any different on a desktop computer? I'm on a netbook because I've just moved and haven't been able to get my desktop set up yet. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it and everything still looks the same in the preview pane. Oh well, hopefully I'll be back on my desktop PC soon and it will look better.

    All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • New Message Center Layout

    I do not like the new message center layout.  I do not need whatever features it has.  Can I return to the "classic view?"  It used to be an option, but I cannot find it. 

    Ron,
    Apart from getting a ridicvulous reply, let me steer you to another dicussion pertaining to your ...and potentially my particular problem. I say this only because that response you recieved is typical, and usually doesn't pertain to the problem at all. It's Verizon's way of answering without answering the particular problem. It's a numbers thing ie; queries/responses, so You might find that most responses recieved are not from knowledgable staff but from a triage group dedicated to stonewalling until the problem could be resolved. I can't tell you how I personally I'm disgusted with support tactics being used on cusumers today, its downright unfriendly. They are real strict about policies when getting their $$$ but they're really slow at provided said reasonable service or support request for said $$$.

    You can also add me to the list of generally disgruntled customers who do not like the new message center nor the way it was rolled out and forced upon customers who chose to opt out of it, but I guess that doesn't qualify as a "constructive" comment.
    Here is as constructive as I can get. This is a quote from Verizon:
    "Once you have been migrated to Message Center, the Classic View link will be removed. We believe that you will ultimately be much happier with Verizon Message Center."
    Constructively speaking, the second sentence is extremely inaccurate.
    Verizon seems to have removed the "Go To Classic View" tab if you have been using the new format for any length of time. However, you CAN simulate the function of that missing button and revert to the Classic View (despite what Verizon Customer Support reps might tell you) simply by following these very simple instructions:
    Login to your account and go to your inbox view. In the address bar at the top of your screen, type the following EXACTLY as I have typed it here:
    http://webmail.verizon.com/signin/VMCOptOut?src=vm​​c
    Click ENTER to the right of the address bar (or press the ENTER key on your keyboard).
    (this command basically tells the system that you are Opting Out of the new view)
    That's it!  Your account should now be reverted back to the Classic View.
    Enjoy!
    Verizon, "I'm sorry!" just doesn't cut the mustard anymore.

  • New Message Center - Add Phone Account

    I switched to the new Message Center for email (no other choice today) and would like to be able to see my Phone and VoiceMail accounts.  The Message Center only shows entries for Email.  The only settings available are for email.  What procedure is required to add Phone and Voicemail accounts to the Message Center?

    We have to get the accounts merged. I have sent you a private message on this

  • Can I move the new message box out of the way?

    Once I click "new message," I can't move it out of the way.  I often want to see if there was another person in the CC field that I need to copy.  But instead I have to either save the message as a draft or copy my message, close the window, look, then open it back up.  That's not cool.

    Having the same frustration, and I agree XarBiogeek's answer is helpful. (And BTW, your message drops to the background when you return to fullscreen, but it's not lost. Just exit fullscreen again.)
    I'm hoping this bug gets fixed (and, no flaming me please, it IS a bug). It's not just that the New Message window freezes in placement and size; it doesn't even let you save a draft so you can do other Mail tasks. In fullscreen you have to send or discard the new message before performing any other task. (NONE of Mail's menu options function when in fullscreen with a New Message window open.)
    I don't know about others here, but the only way I've been able to save a draft (before this thread helped me get out of fullscreen) was to Copy the contents of my in-progress message and discard the window, pasting my content back into a new window when done with my other Mail tasks.

  • Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread. Is there any way of changing this preference to listing new message at top of the thread?

    Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread.
    Is there any way of changing this preference so that new messages are displayed at the top of the thread.
    This is is more logical. You need to see new message in thread directly, rather than scanning to end of thread to see what is there.

    No it is not possible. The newest message is attached to the message it is in reply to.

  • Can't get the new game center to accept any nickname

    I want to try the new game center, but any nickname I give it, I get a message that the name is already in use. I've given it several very unique and creative tries, but it won't accept any of them. Anybody out there encountered this?

    Same problem here. My ID is already created and used on the Apple site. Game Center even tells me that my e-mail address is alreay in use and to change it. Duh, of course my e-mail address is in use and Apple has a record of it. Game Center has a major flaw in it. Since it is part of OS4.0 theree is no way to get rid of it. I would not mind it so much if it worked correctly. From what I have ready, Apple support is no help at all on this issue. I hope the programmers are aware of this and will have a fix out in the near future.

  • Why can't you turn off the new message indicator on any of the blackberry devices?

    i can't believe that i cannot turn off having my blackberry notifiy me when i get an email.  at the top of the homescreen i either get a "Message Count" or if I turn this off i get the little red asterik alert folder appearing, plus the mail icon gets a red asterik on it.  i don't want to see this and i know that many other users feel the same way. 
    has anyone figured out a way to turn this off?  if not, how can we let blackberry know they need to fix this in future models?  there are message boards all over the internet with this same complaint. 
    a little more background: 
    - the issue is on a saturday afternoon when i grab my phone to make a call, i don't want to see a little red asterik notifying me that i have a new message.  i also don't want to see a running count all the time.
    - i tried turning off the data plan part so new messages wouldn't reach me, but the problem with that is when i later turn the data plan back on, the new messages are not then sent.  they never each my phone.  seems the server tries sending them once and if the data plan is turned off they don't make it, but never make it.
    i hope someone at blackberry reads this and they make this simple change in a future model.  i'll upgrade to it immediately when they do.  i love the device but hate being constantly reminded of new messages.

    Hi dplindsey, and welcome to the foams!
    It's also time for the 1am Eaddicts meeting to start
    Here's the deal, Turn off all the notification, ring tones, led''s for emails.
    Go to the main homescreen and hit the menu key twice select make a folder.
    Go to your main message queue icon, highlight it and press menu, select MOVE.
    Move the Icon in to folder.  TA DA!   It's GONE
    Data plan is good so you can still browse the web. Emails are stil getting delivered so you arent missing any.
    What do you think?

  • I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

    I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

    The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
    The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
    So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

  • Does anyone else HATE the new iTunes Software layout?!?!?!?!?!

    I HATE the new iTunes Softare for Windows! They made it exactly like Windows Media Player! If I wanted to use WMP, I wouldn't use iTunes!!!! But I preferred iTunes over anything else. It was much more user friendly. Now its like the rest of them!!! I hate it!! PLEASE, CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
    Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar
    Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    Should you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

  • CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

    CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."  Both the old and new computer are MACs and the error code I get is 150:30.  It says to restart the computer or open another application in the suite, but neither helps.  It says if nothing helps to contact Adobe support, but this is the only way I'm given to contact adobe support.  Can I really not use my purchased software on my new computer?  What do I do to activate the license on the new computer?

  • How does Thunderbird post the 'new message' notice on my Mac?

    I am trying to determine the service Thunderbird uses to post 'new message' notification pop-ups at the upper right of my terminal (they appear to be posted in the main menu of the system).
    Actually, some other app has rarely posted similar pop-ups .... but they don't persist long enough for me to read, so I'm really trying to find out if these pop-ups are logged anywhere that I can inspect.
    Thunderbird didn't generate the pop-ups, but knowing how it generates them may help me
    I'm still running OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on my 1st gen intel mac, so I started my inquiry in the apple snow leopard forum where I was told that a pop-up service wasn't native in Snow Leopard, but some apps, including apple mail and Thunderbird, used Growl to post the pop-ups. A search of Thunderbird's add-ons ... and indeed a search (using the System Profiler) of apps, extensions and frameworks did not reveal anything with 'growl' in its name.
    So .... I'm not really having trouble with Thunderbird, but if someone knows how it invokes the 'new message' pop-up in the main menu, maybe there's a place where such messages get logged and I can inspect it to view the pop-ups (from another app) that are disappearing too quickly for me to read.
    Anyone have any helpful info?
    Useful specs:
    machine: 1st gen intel Mac
    os: OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    Thunderbird version: 24.5.0

    Settings>Messages>Show Preview>Off.
    However, there is no way to completely turn off the popup alert, just the preview.
