How do you store "sent" mail locally and on the server?

Hello. This is a slightly lengthy...but hopefully someone can help!
I am using the Mail program in Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.3) with an IMAP account. I am wondering how you set up the preferences so that the e-mails that you send (outgoing) are stored locally on my computer and also on the server (so that I can .
So far I have tried checking and unchecking the option to 'store mail on the server' (in the 'Mailbox Behavior' window of the Preference Box). When I uncheck the box, the sent mail is stored ONLY locally on my computer.
When I check the box so that the mail is stored on the server, I cannot view any copies of the sent mail on my computer, nor can I view the sent mail through my other school account (same account b/c it's IMAP).
My IMAP account is setup with my school, so I have a folder called 'Sent' that I have programmed so that copies of my sent mail are stored there (viewable locally on any computer that I log-in to). I formerly user Thunderbird (with Mozilla) and it allowed me to save sent mail into that same folder, but I am unable to do so with Mail in the Tiger program.
I hope this is understandable...anyone able to shed some light on this issue? Thanks!

Hi tanjo,
This is a bit of a workaround, but you could set
mail.app to automatically blind copy to yourself any
messages you originate (and then use a rule to
automatically file these messages in a "sent" folder
of your choice).
A method to do setup this default bcc is on
MacOSXhints.com, in this article: Permanently add Reply To headers in
Mail.app. It references this command line:
defaults write com.apple.mail
UserHeaders '{"Bcc" = "[email protected]";
best of luck,

Hi Ben,
Thank you very much for the tip. I'm going to give that a try. Happy Holidays!

Hi there, if there is text in the body of the email it will print automatically when sent to an ePrint email address. The only way to just have the attachment print is for there to be no text in the email body.
Hope that helps answer your question.

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

File -> Export to a folder and copy it over.
That will give you a folder with the images. There is no way to move an album outside of iPhoto. You would need to have a library containing it.

How do you 'mark all' mail messages and then delete in Iphone 5?

I cannot do a mass delete of my emails any more in iphone 5 - how do you get the edit functions back onto the screen once you have 'marked all' the messages?

As Chgrist1 said, that is how it works. Having looked as how Outlook stores mail, and everything else. It is a wonder anything ever comes out that is useable. PST files are a mess. First thing they do is pull the email apart and store header, body and attachments is three different places.
You will also find (most likely) that your accounts in Outlook were POP and the default in Thunderbird is IMAP. merging IMAP and POP files and folders is fraught with difficulties and dangers. It would be a brave developer that tried that in an import.
In the case of IMAP all your mail is one the server, so import is not all that important. However copying a gigabyte or two of of outlook mail into your imap server could exhaust your available message storage space there and cause the import to fail completely.
So If you want to do what your saying, first confirm that your not using IMAP mail. Otherwise your experience is most likely going to be exceedingly poor.
If you are using POP mail, then changing the setting in your pop account to cause it to use the global inbox will make a single mail account appear, "Local Folder", with your outlook mail as a sub folder of that.
Dragging a folder from the imported outlook tree to Local folders is not difficult, as long as you remember that folders hang of other folders, so your dragging them to a parent, not a position on the screen you like.

If you have 2 apple ids, how do you sign out of one and into the other so you can update the app that was purchased in the other account. thanks

If you purchased an app in one account and work mostly in another, how do you switch the purchased app account to update it?
thanks

You need to sign out and back in only if you're on your Mac and you want to update the iTunes data. You'll see a notice saying that there are five (or so) updates but when you go to download them, they're not all present. So you download them, sign out from one ID and sign back in with the other ID. Then you can download the remaining ones.
If you're downloading directly to the iPad, everything is transparent. It does not matter what ID is configured in Settings. The iPad automatically chooses the correct ID or IDs when updates are available.

How do you monitor a background thread and update the GUI

Hello,
I have a thread which makes its output available on PipedInputStreams. I should like to have other threads monitor the input streams and update a JTextArea embedded in a JScrollPane using the append() method.
According to the Swing tutorial, the JTextArea must be updated on the Event Dispatch Thread. When I use SwingUtilities.invokeLater () to run my monitor threads, the component is not redrawn until the thread exits, so you don't see the progression. If I add a paint () method, the output is choppy and the scrollbar doesn't appear until the thread exits.
Ironically, if I create and start new threads instead of using invokeLater(), I get the desired result.
What is the correct architecture to accomplish my goal without violating Swing rules?
Thanks,
Brad

Thanks for pointing out the SwingWorker class. I didn't use it directly, but the documentation gave me some ideas that helped.
Instead of using invokeLater on the long-running pipe-reader object, I run it on a normal thread and let it consume the output from the background thread that is running the system command. Inside the reader thread I create a tiny Runnable object for each line that is read from the pipe, and queue that object with invokeLater (), then yield() the reader thread.
Seems like a lot of runnable objects, but it works ok.

TS3276 Yahoo! sent mail not updated in the server.

I have an issue with Yahoo! Mail. When I'd sent email from my Mail from my mac book air, it can be sent but a copy is not updated in the server, thus when I view from the web or other device I can't see it as it is not updated. I've checked the "store sent msg in server" in the mail preference.
I don't this issue with exchange and gmail.
Thanks

Right that is how the POP email protocol works. If you want all mail sent and received to always be on the Mail Server then you have to use a mail provider that allows, uses, either IMAP or MS Exchange.

How do you configure a client to update from the server

I found the information on how to point clients to a software update server but the problem I have is the URL.
The example is http://su.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
I don't have a URL as far as I know and if I did, is the default port 8088 or where can I change or check that?
And where is a list of the catalog file for the specific versions of OS X?
Basically I have 8 Macs all running Yosemite except for one running 10.8.5. Instead of all the machines hitting the internet for updates, I'd like just my server to down the updates and then all clients update from the server.
If there is better instructions on how to do this, please point the way.
TIA
Chris

This does mean you need to buy a DNS load balancer to do this. The Mac itself cannot.
FWIW, OS X Server is capable of performing round-robin access with the inbound traffic using multiple IP addresses for a single host name. The addresses are each of the software update servers in your server pool.
This'll toss errors for some translations when one of the servers is down — you can tweak the definition if one of the servers is going to be offline for a while — but some of the updates will get through.
Set the DNS TTL fairly short — probably somewhere between a few minutes and an hour — to allow the DNS translations to be changed fairly quickly, if your software update servers are prone to outages.

Difference between compiling locally and on the server with FDS

Hi,
I am doing soming very basic testing with remote Java objects
and I am finding that if I create a FDS project and compile on the
server the code runs, if I create a FDS project and compile locally
it gives me the following error :
[RPC Fault faultString="Send failed"
faultCode="Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultDetail="Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed"]
what gives?
The compiler in Flex Builder string is :
-services "C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\webapps\flex\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml" -locale en_US
Any insights?

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

When you expand to show local and remote sites, in DW CS6 how do I get the local to be on the left?

When you expand to show local and remote sites, in the previous verions of DW, the files type (local or remote) selected when not seeing both, automatically came up on the left. I liked local when I am editing and when I am ready to upload I expand to see both local in remote. Before, the one you had selected, in my case local, was always displayed on the left. Now in CS6 when I have local selected before I expand, the local is on the right and remote on the left. For me that is not correct. I find that having local on the left works best for me like reading, left to right, I want the local on the LEFT so I can put the updated from left to the remote on the right.

Thank you so much! That did it!

Can you get sent mail to be saved in the folder of original message?

Anyone know if this is possible in mac mail? if not how do i request a new feature, can't seem to find that on the support site either.

I am not sure why you would ever want to do this? Mail provides a Reply indicator from which to see any reply, and furthermore via either Rules or Smart Mailboxes can provide to either move or view messages in various On My Mac mailboxes and/or groupings.
The short answer is no, if you mean in the original Inbox, since Mail in EACH account provides separate xxxx.mbox folders (mailboxes) for Inbox, Sent, Trash, Drafts, Junk, and communicates in particular with the Sent mailbox to store messages you have sent, but not until AFTER the SMTP has communicated the Message ID# that has been assigned the message you sent.
You can certainly move both messages and received into other mailboxes that you create (with POP accounts, these will be On My Mac, with IMAP accounts can be folders on a server) to associate them. I do this routinely with a few subject/relationship areas.
