How do I access compacted mail on a Mac version 10.5.8 stuck with Thunderbird version 16.0.2 ? I am unable to access needed documentation for Taxes, etc

Where in the world did you read Deleting All My Mail? I have reread my answer several times and cannot seem to find that in there.
When you mark a message for deletion it does just that. It marks it for deletion and hides the message. It is not truly deleted until you compact.
My point is that unless you deleted your important mail they should still be there somewhere.
Your question was about compacting and thinking it put your messages in a nice little box for safe keeping and now you want to open it.
I have to agree that Thunderbird did a horrible job of naming this process because most are like you and do not understand what it actually does. I included the link to the explanation of what compacting means in the Thunderbird world.
Your messages may still be available to your but finding them has nothing to do with compacting.
Thunderbird does not archive anything unless you use that process by selecting the message and pressing a. You have the option to setup where you want that archive to go and what folders to make.
The All Mail folder is a goofy gmail arrangement. If you have problems with that then you need to address that with Google.
If you go into your gmail account on the gmail site do you see the messages you are hunting in the All Mail folder there?

  • How do you access "trouble shoot" for mail.  My AOL account is set up on the mail icon but it some how defaulted to another Wi fi account and could not receive email.  We reset the the Wifi but somehow didn't complete the process.

    How do you access "trouble shoot" for mail.  Our AOL account is set up on the mail icon but somehow it defaulted onto another nearby Wifi account while everything else that was running stayed on our router.  We were unable to receive email on the AOL account and were directed to trouble shoot.  We reset the Wifi account but somehow didn't save it correctly.  Now we cannot get back in to reset it again.  Direction??

    Hello
    I don't really understand your question. The Mail application cannot independently access a different wifi network from the one your computer is using.
    Are you trying to troubleshoot your wifi (ie, you can't get into your own wireless network), or the Mail program (you can't get email)? Are there any error messages you see when you try to do one or the other?

  • How do I access Disk Utility for 10.7.1?

    How do I access Disk Utility for 10.7.1? I found it in the forums a few weeks ago, used it, then lost the directions. This is a last ditch attempt
    to use OS Lion. I parted my hair incorrectly when I installed and have been plagued by the dread rainbow spinning ball in EVERY application. Yes, every. Name one, Safari, Firefox, Text Edit, Mail, Excel, Word, iTunes, Garage Band, Calculator, Calender, iPhoto....yes, every, and I cannot
    find a solution that works. I have back up files on two different hard drives 500 gig and 1 terrabyte with all my music, photo and writing files.
    I am a writer and a musician so imagine the frustration. OS 10.6 is an option of course. My dedication to Apple and each new OS is deep so
    I am hoping that somehow there will a fix, an upgrade, something that does not require me to go bac to the much more endangered species named OS.
    hahhaa! Just stalled waiting for the ball to finish with it's random spinning.... SO, this is like a last desperate .... it just did two more stalls.
    NO OTHER apps running, just little Firefox holding on for dear life, last desperate request for a fix.
    MacKeeper has been great in sending helpful directions for getting the Antivirus to work after it mysteriously decided to stop working, Quite MacKeeper,  go to Activity Monitor, force quit helper, start up MacKeeper and run program. It works!
    SO before my third stall stops me, please post directions to open disk utility in administration mode so that I can do any further repairs that have not worked by using it from the open system. Also keychain synching stopped working with Lion.
    Thanks to any and all who can help.

    Press and hold Command-R keys and reboot. You'll then start up in the Lion Recovery HD. You'll find Disk Utility there.
    Command-R to the rescue.
    Just hold down Command-R during startup and Lion Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Lion, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if Lion Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.

    I made a mistake. Purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but selected wrong OS. Now I got the Windows-version, but I have a Mac. How do I transfer my license to the Mac version?

    here's how to swap: Order product | Platform, language swap
    but i think your license is dual platform.  download the mac version and see if your serial number will activate.  if not, at least, you'll have the 30 day trial to use while waiting for your platform swap.

  • How to allow access to winrs for non-admin user?

    I have Windows Server 2012 (and Server 2008, but it is next priority) to monitor it using txwinrm. txwinrm library internally is using WinRS protocol. I have to monitor it using least privileged user, but don't know how to configure access for him.
    All I managed to do - is to configure remote Powershell session for my user, but it's look like that winrs and powershell sessions have different security descriptors:
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential Administrator $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
    # gives 4
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential lpu1 $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
    # gives 4
    winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:Administrator -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
    # gives 4
    winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:lpu1 -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
    # Gives Winrs error: Access is denied.
    Configuration for my user is following:
    (Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Service\RootSDDL).value
    # O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1141)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GWGX;;;WD)
    (Get-PSSessionConfiguration -name Microsoft.Powershell).SecurityDescriptorSddl
    # O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1149)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GXGW;;;WD)
    (In each security descriptor my user is given general access to protected object).
    So what security descriptor should I set to make my winrs query work for non-admin user?

    Hi Bunyk,
    I can not recreate the erroe you posted, and please also post the screenshoot in your convenience.
    I tested with a non-domain user but has the local admin permission of the remote computer, and this worked, before running the remote cmdlet in powershell, I also configured the TrustedHosts.
    In addition, the access denied could be also caused to the Protocol Filtering on the remote server, for more detailed information, please refer to this thread:
    winrs error:access is denied
    I hope this helps.

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

  • How can I access user permission for specific items in Sharepoint 2013 via REST API?

    I want to access user permissions for specific items like lists, documents, folders etc. via the REST API.
    Currently I am hitting the following endpoint:
    http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/_api/web/getUserEffectivePermissions('win-5a8pp4v402g\\Sharepoint User 2')
    However the response looks like this:
       "d":
           "GetUserEffectivePermissions":
               "__metadata":
                   "type": "SP.BasePermissions"
               "High": "0",
               "Low": "0"
    I cant understand why high and low are both 0? I have added the user to a specific group. Also this is the same result for each of the users. Another thing to note is that I havent added the "Guest" user in the sharepoint server. So when I hit the endpoint for the Guest user, it still shows the same response. So I know there is something I am doing wrong.I want to access permission of a user for a specific item, say a document using the REST API. Can someone tell me how? What would be the endpoint?

    Thanks for the reply. Although this works for Lists, I need to get permissions of documents too. Here is what I have tried:
    http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sharepoint_test/site_1/Documents/file1.txt')/GetUserEffectivePermissions(@user)?@user='i%3A0%23%2Ew%7Cwin-5a8pp4v402g%5Csharepoint%20user%201'
    And the response is:
       "error":
           "code": "-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException",
           "message":
               "lang": "en-US",
               "value": "Cannot find resource for the request GetUserEffectivePermissions."
    Clearly this doesnt work for a file. Whats wrong?

  • How to embed image in email msg using MAC version of PSE

    I can embed an image as Photo Mail in email msg using WIN version of PSE8 but can only send the image as an attachment in MAC version. Is there a way to embed images in MAC version email msgs?

    Well, it's not complicated at all really. Just put the cursor in a message where you want the image and drop it in, or else click the stationery button in mail, choose a template, drag over the placeholder "greeking" text and replace it with your own, then drag your own photos into the placeholders. Here's a look at one of the templates. You can see that as my mouse is over the right hand image it tells you to put your own photo there in place of the sample. Moving over the other ones does the same thing.
