How does Thunderbird keep track of where it stores your messages?
I am writing a program to isolate certain messages from a messages file. Of course I can hard code the path where the messages are kept at the moment, but when the user changes it, my program will be lost.
I have looked in the registry and profile.ini file with no luck. Anyone knows the answer? Thanks.
The path to messages in Thunderbird is random just for the reason your having trouble. To make programmatic access non trivial.
As you would have observed the profiles.ini contains a path the the root of the profile.
Within the profile mail is stores in profiles\imapmail for IMAP or profiles\mail for pop
Sub folders exist for the server the mail is for, often with a numeric suffix to separate multiple accounts on the same server, or multiple attempts to set up the same account.
These folder can again contain sub folder. depending on the internal structure of folders within Thunderbird.
If the user has specified a custom location for the folder of an account, that information is stored in the prefs.js file along with all other preferences. The account the setting is for is referenced numerically. So you need to establish from the preferences what the account number is, before reading the preference for location.

About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased.
I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
Does anyone know what is going on with this thing??? I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this!
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
Thanks.When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day! -
How does DIAdem keep track of which version is active when multiple versions are installed?
I need a way to find out which version of DIAdem is active, without creating an automation reference. How does DIAdem keep track of this? I don't think it's through the registry as far as I can tell. Thanks.
Hi,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "version of DIAdem is active". If you are trying to reference DIAdem from an external program, you will need to use an automation reference. Besides this case, I am not sure what you are referring to.
Perhaps a short description of your application or intended use will help me point you in the right direction.

How does firefox keep track of sites visited
When I go the page info tab while on the google home page I notice that it shows the number of times I have visited the web page even though I have cleared all cookies AND flash cookies! Where/Why is this information stored?

How do I keep track of dialog boxes?
If I have a three question test, How do I keep track of the answers?
OK a bit of sanity.
you have a 3 question test.
presumably you have a 3 element array of questions (Strings?)
String[] questions = {"What is 1 + 1","What is 2 + 2","What is 3 + 3"};
in a loop you ask each question, then get the response to each.
String answer = .....readLine();
if you change this to an object
class Question
String question;
String answer;
public Question (String q){question = q;}
}then your array looks like this
Question[] questions = {new Question("What is 1 + 1"), etc
so now the display of the question changes from
System.out.print(questions[x]);
to
System.out.print(questions[x].question);
likewise for the answer
from
String answer = .....readLine();
to
questions[x].answer = .....readLine();
now, in your Question array, each 'question' stores the answer received -
How do I keep track of stats and subscriptions of my podcast? Mine was just added today.
My podcast, The Big Seance Podcast, was just added to iTunes today. Other than keeping track of stats through my host (Libsyn), how can I keep track of subscriptions, ratings, and downloads through itunes? Thanks!
Hi Patrick,
You will not get any stats from Apple / iTunes. You need to get that info from your libsyn account.
If you want to see the number of people consuming via iTunes or the Podcasts App (AppleCoreMedia) - you will need to have the advanced stats - App 400 or greater level account in Libsyn.
That is the only way to get the info you are looking for.
Regards,

My IPad has been stolen and I was trying to track it on 'find my ipad' but the thief kept it offline. I just saw him change my user id. Any recommendations on how I can keep tracking the stolen device?

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages w/ Messaging 3.X?
How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages with Messaging 3.X?
<P>
In an ISP environment there are times that a user changes his
login name (his unique identifier in the ISP's network, also used as
his email address) from one value to another. It is very convenient
for the ISP to be able to move messages from the user's old mailbox
to the user's new mailbox when this situation occurs.
<P>
With Messaging Server 2.0, this was easily accomplished by simply
moving the mail messages on disk. However, with the added complexity
of Messaging 3.0 where there are back links, reference counts, etc.,
associated with mail messages, moving files on disk from one mailbox
to another is no longer valid.
<P>
The MoveUser utility, which is new in MS 3.X, moves messages from
one messaging server to another or from one maildrop path to another.
Can this utility be used to move messages from one mailbox to another?
<P>
The answer is yes, it can. The user should be aware that if
duplicate email message id's exist in the mailbox before the
move, the messages related to the duplicate message id's will
be duplicated in the target mailbox.
<P>
See the online documentation contained with the product or the
Messaging 3.X Administrator's Guide for exact syntax.Hi
If I understand you correctly and if you are using Apple Mail version 2.0 or above navigate to /Users/Home folder. The Home folder is the one with the house icon, within that folder you will see a Library folder, within that folder you’ll see a Mail folder, within that folder you’ll see a folder that begins with POP followed by your name, within that folder will be a folder called INBOX.mbox, within that folder is a Messages folder. All the mail that you see within the application are there. They will be numbered and have a file suffix of .emlx. You can move these wherever you like.
If you are using Entourage X, or Entourage 2004 you can easily multiple select mail messages, addresses etc from within the application and drag whatever you’ve selected to wherever you like.

When I send a group txt and one of the reciepients replies it creates a new message. How do I keep all the replies in the same message?
If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

How do I keep track of how many times a method is called inside anthr clas?
I am writing code for a program that solves a Knight's Tour. A Knight's Tour is a path a Knight Chess piece can take around the board starting at any spot, touching every square once, and only once. I have to write 2 classes and one is provided. The provided class is encrypted and written by our professor. All I know that it does is simulates the game using the two classes I write and provides a print out and prompts to ask the user which square they want to move to next.
The square class I have to write consists of a constructor that makes a square object that keeps track of its color (white/black) and its status (whether it has been visited, is occupied by the knight, or is free and has not be visited).
The GameBoard class I have to write is what I am having problems with. I am writing a method that determines how many squares have been visited. The previous mentioned class that my professor wrote for me contains a method moveKnight();. The way the program works is that every time moveKnight() is called a square's status is changed to occupied and therefore visited later. moveKnight() will only work if the move requested by the user is a valid move.
SO! My main problem (sorry for all the explaining, just trying to give you all the information) is that I don't know how to keep track of how many times moveKnight() is called by the program. If i can figure this out it should be simple. I'm new to java but i believe...
if(moveKnight() is called)
{count++;} //count is a member variable already initialized
return count;
the moveKnight() is called section within the if() statement is what I am unclear how to do. Please help.
Thanks, Veritasin your case you want 'count' to be a class attribute rather than a local variable. But yes, incrementing it each time that the method is called will serve your purpose.
