How do I prevent emails from a known source ending up in the Spam folder?

The above question should be self-explanatory

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". Seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

How can we prevent JTabbedPanes from transferring focus to components outside of the tabs during tab traversal?

Hi,
I noticed a strange focus traversal behavior of JTabbedPane.
During tab traversal (when the user's intention is just to switch between tabs), the focus is transferred to a component outside of the tabs (if there is a component after/below the JTabbedPane component), if using Java 6. For example, if using the SSCCE below...
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.Box;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class TabbedPaneTest extends JPanel {
    public TabbedPaneTest() {
        super(new BorderLayout());
        JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 1", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
        tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(0, KeyEvent.VK_1);
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 2", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
        tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(1, KeyEvent.VK_2);
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 3", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
        tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(2, KeyEvent.VK_3);
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 4", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
        tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(3, KeyEvent.VK_4);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        panel.add(tabbedPane);
        JButton button = new JButton("Dummy component that gains focus when switching tabs");
        panel.add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
         * To replicate the focus traversal issue, please follow these steps -
         * 1) Run this program in Java 6; and then
         * 2) Click on a child component inside any tab; and then
         * 3) Click on any other tab (or use the mnemonic keys ALT + 1 to ALT 4).
        button.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
                System.err.println("Gained focus (not supposed to when just switching tabs).");
        add(new JScrollPane(panel));
    private JPanel buildPanelWithChildComponents() {
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        BoxLayout boxlayout = new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS);
        panel.setLayout(boxlayout);
        panel.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(3));
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            panel.add(new JTextField(10));
            panel.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(3));
        return panel;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test for Java 6");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.add(new TabbedPaneTest());
                frame.pack();
                frame.setVisible(true);
... Then we can replicate this behavior by following these steps:
1) Run the program in Java 6; and then
2) Click on a child component in any of the tabs; and then
3) Click on any other tab (or use the mnemonic keys 'ALT + 1' to 'ALT + 4').
At step 3 (upon selecting any other tab), the focus would go to the component below the JTabbedPane first (hence the printed message in the console), before actually going to the selected tab.
This does not occur in Java 7, so I'm assuming it is a bug that is fixed. And I know that Oracle suggests that we should use Java 7 nowadays.
The problem is: We need to stick to Java 6 for a certain application. So I'm looking for a way to fix this issue for all our JTabbedPane components while using Java 6.
So, is there a way to prevent JTabbedPanes from passing the focus to components outside of the tabs during tab traversal (e.g. when users are just switching between tabs), in Java 6?
Note: I've read the release notes between Java 6u45 to Java 7u15, but I was unable to find any changes related to the JTabbedPane component. So any pointers on this would be deeply appreciated.
Regards,
James

Hi Kleopatra,
Thanks for the reply.
Please allow me to clarify first: Actually the problem is not that the child components (inside tabs) get focused before the selected tab. The problem is: the component outside of the tabs gets focused before the selected tab. For example, the JButton in the SSCCE posted above gets focused when users switch between tabs, despite the fact that the JButton is not a child component of the JTabbedPane.
It is important for me to prevent this behavior because it causes a usability issue for forms with 'auto-scrolling' features.
What I mean by 'auto-scrolling' here is: a feature where the form automatically scrolls down to show the current focused component (if the component is not already visible). This is a usability improvement for long forms with scroll bars (which saves the users' effort of manually scrolling down just to see the focused component).
To see this feature in action, please run the SSCCE below, and keep pressing the 'Tab' key (the scroll pane will follow the focused component automatically):
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Component;

        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 1", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
        tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(0, KeyEvent.VK_1);
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 2", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
        tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(1, KeyEvent.VK_2);
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 3", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
        tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(2, KeyEvent.VK_3);
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 4", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
        tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(3, KeyEvent.VK_4);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

        final String labelPrefix = "Dummy Field ";
        final Insets labelInsets = new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5);
        final Insets textFieldInsets = new Insets(5, 0, 5, 0);
        final GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
        JTextField textField;
        for (int i = 0; i < numberOfChildComponents; i++) {
            gridBagConstraints.insets = labelInsets;
            gridBagConstraints.gridx = 1;
            gridBagConstraints.gridy = i;
            panel.add(new JLabel(labelPrefix + (i + 1)), gridBagConstraints);
            gridBagConstraints.insets = textFieldInsets;
            gridBagConstraints.gridx = 2;
            textField = new JTextField(22);
            panel.add(textField, gridBagConstraints);
            textField.addFocusListener(autoScrollFocusHandler);
        return panel;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test for Java 6 with auto-scrolling");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.add(new TabbedPaneAutoScrollTest());
                frame.setSize(400, 300);
                frame.setVisible(true);
* Crude but simple example for auto-scrolling to focused components.
* Note: We don't actually use FocusListeners for this feature,
*       but this is short enough to demonstrate how it behaves.
class AutoScrollFocusHandler extends FocusAdapter {
    private JViewport viewport;
    private JComponent view;
    public void setScrollPane(JScrollPane scrollPane) {
        viewport = scrollPane.getViewport();
        view = (JComponent) viewport.getView();
    @Override
    public void focusGained(FocusEvent event) {
        Component component = (Component) event.getSource();
        view.scrollRectToVisible(SwingUtilities.convertRectangle(component.getParent(),
                component.getBounds(), view));
Now, while the focus is still within the tab contents, try to switch to any other tab (e.g. by clicking on the tab headers, or by using the mnemonic keys 'ALT + 1' to 'ALT + 4')...
... then you'll notice the following usability issue:
1) JRE 1.6 causes the focus to transfer to the JButton (which is outside of the tabs entirely) first; then
2) In response to the JButton gaining focus, the 'auto-scrolling' feature scrolls down to the bottom of the form, to show the JButton. At this point, the tab headers are hidden from view since there are many child components; then
3) JRE 1.6 transfers the focus to the tab contents; then
4) The 'auto-scrolling' feature scrolls up to the selected tab's contents, but the tab header itself is still hidden from view (as a side effect of the behavior above); then
5) Users are forced to manually scroll up to see the tab headers whenever they are just switching between tabs.
In short, the tab headers will be hidden when users switch tabs, due to the Java 6 behavior posted above.
That is why it is important for me to prevent the behavior in my first post above (so that it won't cause usability issues when we apply the 'auto-scrolling' feature to our forms).

James

How do I prevent items from showing up under "Available Software" in the software center after they have been removed?

I have some scenarios where I want to keep older or multiple versions of an application around in the Application Catalog website. The problem is when I deploy a script to remove one of these applications after removal it starts to appear under "Available
Software" in the Software Center. Our users have noticed this and discovered that they can go there, select the application and reinstall it. I need to find a way to prevent this. Is there some sort of setting I can enable to prevent certain applications
from showing up under "Available Software" but still have them listed in the Application Catalog Website?

I show in the SDK about properties passed to the Software Center that deal with Applications but nothing on how to interact with it directly in dealing with the Check box for "Show Optional Software".
You can always see if there is a captured regentry when you click it. I don't know if this setting is wiped out when you close the SC. If so you could create something to create the key to force the check box. Sorry, maybe someone will
have a better answer for you.

Thanks for responding again Matthew. Yeah I googled around and got nowhere. I did find a thread here that touched on it where Torsten Meringer responded and seemed to indicate that it could not be done. I find that hard to believe (where there's a will there’s
a way right?). I did tag the Software Center with a registry watcher on my stet VM and tried unchecking that box. Got nothing so wherever the setting resides it does not appear to be in the registry. Very frustrating to have the solution staring me right in
the face and being unable to do anything about it. Hopefully someone who has a working method will see this thread and respond. Until then I guess I’ll keep digging.
Side note – I’ve worked in Oil and Gas now for 10 years. Awesome to have an admin from Schlumberger respond to my post. We energy people have to stick together right? ;)

How can I export emails from Thunderbird so that I can send the bulk file to my attorney?

I have about 100 email threads that need to be given to my attorney in both electronic form and hard copy. Obviously, hard copy is no problem. But how can I give him an electronic copy of the emails? It seems to me if I just copy the archive, he won't be able to access them.

In view of Matt's comments, and having confirmed that Outlook 2010 is also able to read .eml files, then I'd suggest that this add-on:
https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
may be useful in exporting multiple files.

How can I prevent iTunes from opening when Firefox is open, when the computer is not used for a few minutes?

iTunes opens on my screen if Firefox is on, with page minimised or with current page open, if I do not use the machine for a few minutes. I can't find anything to turn this off.

When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
"You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.

How do I prevent Premiere from placing the scratch disk onto the 'same as project" folder

I start a project by resetting the default scratch disc settings from “same as project” (which is on my “G” drive) to another hard drive where I have always stored defaults on CS3 (the “D” drive). I never had to redo my scratch disks when I created a new project in CS3. Now I need to redo them every time. If I open an older project in CS5 it automatically places all scratch disk files onto the G drive. How do I prevent Premiere from placing all scratch disk information onto the G drive before I open an older file? By the time I get around to changing the location, Premiere has already begun saving scratch disk information on the wrong disk.
However I have another related problem. When I import an older project to nest it in a new project, the scratch discs mysteriously change back from the D drive where I set it up to the “G” drive. I finally discovered this when I reopen the project and all previews disappeared and it had defaulted back to the G drive.

Thanks. Now I know that anytime I import a CS3 project file into a CS5 project, that it will change the whole project scratch disk settings to the default without warning.
One wouldn’t think that just one imported file would change the whole overall project file (out of many imported files…not project files that do not); it is odd that Premiere changes the setting of the new overall Cs5 project without warning.

How do I prevent Mail from opening when I click an email address in Safari?

My wife and I both use Yahoo! Mail. Neither of us uses the Mail app to manage our email. How do I prevent Mail from opening when we click an email address in Safari? Is it possible to direct Safari to open a separate web browser prompting us to log in to our Yahoo! Mail?

Hmm.. probably not.
You want to open Mail. Then go into Preferences > General and you will see something similar to this:
In the area marked Default Mail reader click on the pull down and at the bottom of the list it will say Other. You can see if you can select Safari here and if that will open up Safari.
Good luck.

How do I prevent calendar from sending email notifications for calendar events?

Right now I have my google calendar synced with iCloud. This is great for me to add things either on my Mac, through the web on iCloud or Google Calendar, or my iphone. The problem is that I am getting notifications through email that I do not want. These are not google notifcations but those sent out through my MacBook Pro calendar/mail applications. How can I stop this from happening? I want to keep the phone notifications because that's what I need. The emails just take more of my time up since I need to delete them.

Figured it out - in System Prefernces, under "Users & Groups", you can remove individual "Login Items"

How can I prevent Firefox from re-installing test pilot?

I had removed the test pilot extension and its feedback button in Firefox 4.0b9. I let Firefox upgrade itself to 4.0b10 and didn't notice that silently re-installed it.
I was typing in another application when suddenly that window was minimized and the focus shifted to a Firefox "new test pilot study" window that popped up. Even if I had given permission for that software to be installed, that is rude.
I am not willing to trust that if I disable this logging software that it will stay disabled the next time I upgrade. I will remove test pilot again. '''How can I prevent Firefox from re-installing it?'''
One way might be to set extensions.rdf read-only. However, I do not wish to lose the ability to install add-ons, I merely do not want anybody (including Mozilla) to install an add-on without my permission.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519357 doesn't seem to address this problem as test pilot is a known component. Its not a plug-in so I can't modify the plugin scanning settings to prevent it from being loaded. Is there some way I can reliably supplement http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ with a local block list file? If so, would I have to update that whenever a new version of test Pilot is released?

I'm not sure what you mean by "re-directs e-mails." Are the recipient addresses changing between the time you address the message and the time it is sent?
If you could provide more information I think that would help in tracking this down.
When you use Firefox to work with your webmail site, whether Yahoo! or Gmail or another, the mechanics of sending the mail are handled by the site itself. So if there is a problem with how messages are addressed, then you may need to check your Yahoo! mail settings.

How do I prevent Mail from Zipping the attachment?

When I send a .pages file by e-mail, Mail zips the file to .pages.zip.
The network software at this University blocks .zip. How do I prevent Mail from zipping the file? I tried turning off the "send windows-friendly", but but still zips.

Assuming this is iWork '08 or earlier, the "documents" are actually packages. A package is really a folder hierarchy. A folder cannot be emailed unless it is archived somehow. Mail does this automatically; most other email programs would be incapable of sending a bare Pages document at all.
You could use some other non-blocked archive format, like tar or StuffIt. Or maybe you could rename it so that the mail servers don't recognize it as zip. You would have to instruct your recipient to rename it back. I understand that iWork '09 archives documents by default, although they are not named .zip, so that should be no longer an issue.

How do I prevent Mail from downloading messages from IMAP?

I just set up Mail to use two of my email accounts for a very limited purpose that requires IMAP. As soon as it got the Gmail one created, Mail started downloading all 3,700 Gmail messages in my folders AND ARCHIVE. The x button did not stop the process. I don't want mail on my laptop hard drive. I set Preferences to "get mail ... manually" on both accounts. When I restarted Mail, it started downloading the rest of the 3,700 plus new stuff in the other account. How do I prevent Mail from ever downloading unless I tell it to? Email replies preferred because I am not in the habit of looking at discussions I've never seen before and hope never to see again. --John

This is what syncing is all about. It sounds like you deleted some mail while logged in on your phone. This deletes it from the server. When your Mac synced up with the server, it deleted the mail it had previously downloaded so it would be in sync with what was on the server. In the old days, assuming you really wanted that mail deleted, you would have had to manually delete it from every device. Now it does it automatically for you. Similarly, mail you send from your phone will also appear in the sent mail folder on your Mac; you don't have to check all your devices to find that message you sent last month.
If you haven't already emptied the email trash, you should be able to get those messages back.
