How do I restore old setting in Mail?

I'm not happy with what happened to Mail's appearance when I updated My MacBook to OS X Mav. Is there a way to get back the old set-up - with the queue of messages on top, and window for the highlighted message below - and most importantly, the messages with subject, from, date, size, attachments in columns.
The new set-up adds an annoyin step to the process of sorting messages. In the old system, I only had to click on a column to sort by name, date, subject. Now I have to click on the "sort by" to bring up a menu, then mouse down to the item I wish to sort by. 
Since the old system had just one line per message, and the new one has a box per message, you can't see as many messages at once - which makes it harder to find what you're looking for.

In Mail Preferences > Viewing, enable Classic Mode.

  • How can I restore my icloud e-mail address?

    How can I restore my iCloud e-mail address?

    You can't change and iCloud email account address once created.  You can either create a new iCloud account, or add an @icloud.com email alias address to the existing account, which will receive email in your existing iCloud inbox (more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
    If you would rather create a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  When you turn Mail on you will be asked to create your new iCloud email address.  Type carefully as it cannot be changed later.

  • How can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data

    how can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data. unfortunately i have deleted few of my old photos and restored them from my old backup. i got the deleted photos but lost my recent data and photos. how can i get those too.

    You cannot. However, if your back up is through iTunes on your computer and you do an internet search for something like "iPhone BackUpExtractor", I believe there is software that will help you access the SQL database that is your back up. You may be able to pull out what you need.
    Once you restore from a back up, any data that was on the phone is gone.

    how do i restore old info on new iphone 4s

    create a backup of your old phone either in itunes or icloud
    then, get your new phone and restore from that backup. If it's restoring from an itunes backup, you'll need to plug it into that computer
    if you're restoring the new 4s from an icloud backup, you can only do it from the setup process of the new phone

  • How do I restore old mail from a disk copy of another computer's drive?

    My old iMac died  (non-intel iMac running OS-X Tiger) so bought a new iMac with Lion installed. How do I restore all my old emails to the new version of Mail?
    I have a drag copy of the old iMac's entire hard drive saved on an external drive.
    ( This was how I did backups, just regularly drag copy the entire disk of each of my multiple Macs onto a large external drive. )

    I have needed to do this today and it was quite simple.
    After setting up Mail on the new Mac, from the Mail program;
    File > Apple Mail (or other mail client) > Library (from your old Mac volume in the root) >Mail
    Then pick the mailbox folder(s) inbox (POP-emailaddress Inbox.mbox) and select Choose.
    If you want everything - Inbox, Sent, Draft, Deleted - just choose the whole folder(s).

  • How do I restore a deleted e-mail account

    I kept getting a message that there was a password authentication error, and could not poll for e-mail on one account. I tried resetting the password, no help. So I deleted the account and re-entered it (now it works), but lost all of the e-mails and file folders in Thunderbird. How do I restore those folders and e-mails? System restore did not help.

    Worked for this technological troglodyte. Thanks for the fast response. It was my wife's computer--doubtful I will ever learn!

    please help me

    You can't.
    What you can do is go to your nearest Nokia Care Point and explain the situation and why you'd rather roll back to an older version. They might be able to flash the phone with older firmware but there's no guarantee that they will.

  • How to remove "restore old status box"

    Whenever I open Firefox I get a box below the Google entry bar that asks "Restore old status" or words to that effect. There is no way to tell the box (icon) to go away, I don't want to restore a previous string/status. If I leave the box alone I can continue without problems, but I don't want the box there. I was able to get rid of the box by right clicking on it and left clicking "stop", but that doesn't seem to work anymore. I find this extremely annoying.

    Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it.<br />
    That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
    If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session then set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • How do I restore Application Set in BPC 5.1 to another BPC 5.1 server?

    Hi,
    Anyone know how to copy the application set from one server to another server?  I was able to Backup the application set and restore to the second server but the application set does not shown up on the second server when I log in.  Am I missing some steps?  How do I enable the restored app. set in BPC 5.1?  Are there easier way to copy the application set to another server?
    I have one BPC 5.1 App server and one SQL2005 server for each environment.   
    Thanks,
    Kham

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks for replying.
    I logged in with Sysadmin id and was able to see the restored App. Set.  You mentioned that I need to Grant other users access, I looked in the pdf guide I have, but can't find it anywhere.  Do you have detail steps on how I can grant user access to the newly restored app set?  I tried all the options like Manage Security, Manage App Set, Manage App from Admin Console, but I don't see any options to grant access to other users.
    I am new to BPC and just start learning the application myself.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • How do you restore accidentally deleted e-mail from a back-up?

    I accidentally deleted some important e-mails.  I have an external hard drive with backups, but I'm not sure how to go about it nor where they go.  I'm using Entourage on a desktop Mac with OS 6.8.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    If the mail account is a IMAP or Exchange account that is how it works. Those accounts synchronize mail on all devices.
    If the mail account is a POP3 account the go to Settings>Mail>the mail account>Advanced>Deleted Messages>Remove and set to never.

  • How do I restore old things to my iPhone?

    I had an iPod Touch for about a year, and I just got an iPhone 5. When I plugged my iPhone into the computer, it automatically restored my iPhone to my iPod's settings from when it was last backed up (October). I backed up my iPod again today, but I'm still missing over 400 photos that I want to transfer from my iPod to my iPhone. How do I do that? By the way, I don't use iCloud.

    I found out by googleing it:
    go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Complete the setup assistant after erasing your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings) or after starting your new device.

  • My mailboxes are not showing up in the viewing area.  When I create a new mailbox they are listed.  How do I restore them in the mail view?

    My mailboxes are not visible.  When I go to add a new mailbox they are visible when asked where to put the new mailbox.  If I lost them how do I get them back if possible.  I have played around with everything that I can think of but with no luck.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.
