How can I make email messages stay on my computer?

Up till now I had a .me mail account and I used POP. Now I've moved to iCloud, and apparently am forced to use IMAP.
I have an iMac on which I want to keep all my mail, deal with it, archive it, etcetera. And I have an iPad on which I occasionally check my mail when away from my desk, and on which I don't want to keep any mail. Up till now I used to delete all mail on my iPad as soon as I was sure it was stored on my iMac. But apparently that doesn't work anymore. I emptied the IN box on my iPad, and now the IN box on my iMac is empty too, as, I just noticed to my horror, is the SENT box there. There used to be quite a number of mails I absolutely needed to keep, and some I still have to answer …
How can I make sure that the mail I want to be on my iMac really gets there and stays there for as long as I choose to keep it (other than not throwing away any mail anywhere, which will eventually fill my Cloud)? Will it be enough to move all mail in the IN and SENT box to a corresponding box in the "On My Mac" section?
Any advise would be more than wellcome.
Best Regards
Bart

You have already worked it out, make local folders (doesn't matter what you call them) and put mail that you wish to keep, but not keep on the server in the local folders, as long as the folders are 'On your Mac' they will not appear on your other devices.
As a bonus when you change your mind and want a piece of mail 'globally' accessible just move it from the local folder back to the iCloud account folder.

How can I make my iphone5 stay on when plugged in?

Used to have an android phone. There was a setting on it where when plugged in the phone would stay lit up and unlocked. How can I make the iphone5 do that?

Have you provided feedback to Apple requesting this feature? The only way for Apple to know about feature requests is through their feedback page. Once there, click on the appropriate subject. Not everyone may be interested in this, I know I wouldn't, since I plug my device in to charge at night, and would not appreciate the screen lit up. But then, that is my opinion, and everyone has their own. But to get Apple to here it, go to the feedback link I provided you.

Is that not the case.

How can I make IMAP message flags (replied, forwarded) update regularly ?

Several Macs are connecting to the same (Citadel) IMAP-server here. The problem is that if someone replies to an existing message the "replied to" flag (little arrow in the message list) is only showing up on the other machines if I restart mail.app on them.
Even manual synchronization via the Mailbox/Synchronize.. does not update the flags. The same applies to the other flags (forwarded, read).
How can I configure mail.app to automatically synchronize these flags ?

I will clarify. I would like to select emails that are either:
Replies to recently sent mail. This isn't perfect, since some messages are not important, so I don't need to know right away that there's a reply.
or
Replies to specific messages that I would mark as important within Mail.app, somehow. I don't specifically want to mark the messages with an !important flag, since that would impose on the recipient, and there's no way to guarantee that they will reply with the !important flag intact.
I suppose that I might use Contacts groups and add the "currently important" people to a specific group, then select the messages from people in that group, but that is not exactly optimal, since I'd have to maintain that group manually.

How can I make blinking eyes stay open?

I have a shot where a stationary guy is getting sprayed in the face with a fire extinguisher. The actor knows it's coming so he blinks in the split second before he's sprayed. Can I make the pixels from the open eyes, stay where they are in the frames that follow, so that the closed eye pixels are covered with the open eye pixels?

Roto the eyes so only the eyes are visible, set an in and out point just before the blink so the eyes stay open, move the layer in time to cover the blink.
If the camera moves or the head moves you have to adjust the position and maybe animate it. That's all there is to it. Layers and time shift.

If you want the entire Thunderbird interface to be larger font, including Folder pane and list of emails,.
you could use an addon 'Theme Font and Size changer'

How can I make new messages in threaded view to be more visible?

In threaded view when a new message arrives the thread is underlined. Is there a way to make this more visible with color? This is really important as I tend to miss the new messages because I do not see the underline very well.
Thanks

How about View|Folders|Unread? That will at least reduce the amount of stuff you have to work through. Probably not useful if you aren't moving messages to folders by means of filters.
Or the QuickFilter, which has an "Unread" filter option. See the attached image.
Or you could create a Saved Search folder for unread messages.
You can set up code to tweak the colours but it's rather techie and not trivial to do.

How can I make my Shuffle stay in the Source list with Version 7??

No longer in the IPOD options that I can see????

Blackstar,
Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the Keep this iPod in the source list option does not exist in iTunes 7.
So the first thing you will probably want to do is let Apple know your feelings on the matter by submitting the form on this support page .
Done that? Okay then, so now you'll probably want to make the best of the situation by figuring out if there's any kind of workaround to deal with the matter.
The best I can come up with is suggest that you create a playlist dedicated to your iPod shuffle which, for discussion's sake, we can call the Shuffle Playlist.
Once you have created that playlist, when you connect your shuffle to your computer you can drag the Shuffle Playlist into your shuffle.
After disconnecting the shuffle you can get to work on modifying the Shuffle Playlist for your next update.
Note that you will have to manually clear the iPod shuffle's contents before putting a new Shuffle Playlist on it.

How can I make the message date appear with the time for unread messages?

Mail systems I am moving from display the date & time with the messages. I need this displayed to determine aging and importance of received mail. When archiving/saving old mail it helps filing mail off and not duplicate archived messages.

Thunderbird displays time and date for all messages except for the present day messages. The time only is displayed for today and the date is appended at midnight.

How can I make the font stay large?

I need a large font, but every time I go to a new pageI have to reset the font size.

Interesting question. In many programs pressing Option + will increase magnification, but not so in the desktop address book. One option then is to log into iCloud in your browser and view address book there. The view is larger immediately, and you can easily increase the view even further as you would with any browser window.

How can I stop email from being deleted on computer?

I upgraded from a 3gs to a 4s today. Everything is working fine except my email. On my 3gs I had my email set up to never delete from the server that way I could delete the mail on my phone but not on my computer. With the new 4s I can't find the never delete from server option. Can anyone help me? It's a hotmail address that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!
~Lubs

Look in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>tap your hotmail account>Look through the settings (usually under Advanced)

I have a new computer. I can not get Firefox to auto-login to any sites. How can I make it so that this new computer functions like every other one I've seen...e.g., it actually remembers what I ask it to?

Cookies are enabled. Sites are checked "remember password" and "automatically log me in." I have checked "yes" to "Do you want firefox to remember the password for this site?" Some sites do auto-fill my username or password, but I still have to go through the process of approving, checking, and clicking, every single time. One example is yahoo mail...but it happens everywhere. It's like every time I access Firefox, it doesn't remember anything.

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You must allow that cookie (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions), especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
