How does Thunderbird post the 'new message' notice on my Mac?

I am trying to determine the service Thunderbird uses to post 'new message' notification pop-ups at the upper right of my terminal (they appear to be posted in the main menu of the system).
Actually, some other app has rarely posted similar pop-ups .... but they don't persist long enough for me to read, so I'm really trying to find out if these pop-ups are logged anywhere that I can inspect.
Thunderbird didn't generate the pop-ups, but knowing how it generates them may help me
I'm still running OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on my 1st gen intel mac, so I started my inquiry in the apple snow leopard forum where I was told that a pop-up service wasn't native in Snow Leopard, but some apps, including apple mail and Thunderbird, used Growl to post the pop-ups. A search of Thunderbird's add-ons ... and indeed a search (using the System Profiler) of apps, extensions and frameworks did not reveal anything with 'growl' in its name.
So .... I'm not really having trouble with Thunderbird, but if someone knows how it invokes the 'new message' pop-up in the main menu, maybe there's a place where such messages get logged and I can inspect it to view the pop-ups (from another app) that are disappearing too quickly for me to read.
Anyone have any helpful info?
Useful specs:
machine: 1st gen intel Mac
os: OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Thunderbird version: 24.5.0

Settings>Messages>Show Preview>Off.
However, there is no way to completely turn off the popup alert, just the preview.

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

Thanks for the additional information.
Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

How do I change the "new messages" sound? (Thunderbird 31.3.0 on MacBookPro running OSX 10.9.5)

I followed the instructions at
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-customize-new-mail-sound
to change the "new messages" sound. It does play when I click on "Play" in the Preferences pane.
However, when new mail comes in, it plays the default sound. So why is it ignoring the Preference?

I was wrong. It's playing both the default sound AND the sound I selected. How do I get the default sound to stop?

How does jni manage the asynchronous messages like vc++ does?

Hi,
I am trying to wrap a vc++ dll in jni.
Frankly,I a novice in VC++ and all the COM stuff.I just have a ready made VC++ code,I wish to use in my project.
The VC++ dll;sends and receives asynchrounous messages,defined in the VC++ "MESSAGE MAPs".
I wish to wrap this using JNI.I dont know WHERE to start and defintely am clueless as to HOW.
ANy...any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
thank you for you valuable pointers..in advance.
rum

Thank you so much.
But maybe your earlier answer was closer to my question.
My questions on this subject are so many that I am unable to pinpoint what exactly I want to know:)
After I received your answer I went back and did some homework on COM.
So armed with this new knowledge,I will try once more.
Scenario:
1. I have a VC++ dll,which I intend to use from a java application.
Therefore,I use JNI to wrap this dll.
2.
There is some COM code that needs to be wrapped as well.
I understand that this COM code will allow my java client application to receive message notifications asynchronously.
3.
I see now that I need to spun two seperate threads in JNI to handle this problem.
Thread 1: to initialize COM and to wait for messages from the server.
Thread 2:to do the other Application stuff.
QUESTIONS:
a. Am I right so far? :)
b. How does thread 1 communicate with Thread 2 on receiving a message?
Thank you so much for being patient.
These misplaced pieces of the jigzaw puzzle are killing me
Thanks a lot

Then there's something going on with Safari on your Mac.
Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Mail and pop accounts - mail does not retrieve the new messages

Hi, for any reason for last two days my mail application is not able to retrieve my e-mails from my pop account. However I can read and reply the e-mails through the web portal.
Mail.app seems to connect properly to the pop account but it is not able to sync the messages.
Have you ever seem this behaviour?
Miguel

Miguel,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Is there any symbol beside the mailboxes of this account? Have you checked to see if the account is Offline? This is different than not be connected, since in Mail each account can separately be taken offline. Click on Mailbox in the Menubar, and check Online Status (available if two or more accounts) or if only one account, whether Go Online is black or Go Offline is black?

Does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?

does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?
i noticed they said that facetime will basically be taking over video calls on the mac and that Messager will take over ichat, but i'm worried they're going to drop all the nice features they had on ichat, like being able to share screens while video chatting with someone. or being able to chat with 2 people at once on a video call.
has anyone downloaded the beta of this yet and tried it out? i'm very curious

Hi,
You can start a Video chat with one Buddy and then chose Screen Share and providing you and the Buddy are using UPnP to open ports it will instantly convert to a Screen Share.
A Screen Share is only 1-1 and is technically an Audio Chat +
The Plus bit is an VNC connection alongside the Audio Chat.
This VNC connection uses a random port - hence the need to use UPnP to open the ports in the router (Or Port Mapping Protocol) in Apple Base Station.
There used to be Add-ons that allowed the Desktop as Video Feed which would have been a sort of Screen Share but none of these have been updated for Lion.
An Example is iUSBCam (ShowMacster was another - My link no longer works)
CamCamX maybe a possibility if it works in Lion (It does say it neess iUSBCam for iChat)

How do I stop texts from coming to the new Messages app on my macbook?

I was on my computer and wanted to try out the new Messages app so I opened it up, and wrote a message to my g/f and one to my friend. Now everytime they text me I get notifications on my macbook pro. I have clicked the X next to their name on the Messages app to delete the conversation from Messages but whenever they text me I still get pop ups on my macbook.
I do know how to turn of notifications for the messages app completely but I don't want to do that.

Hi,
You could just disable the Account as has been said (Untick the "Enable this Account" box)
You can remove the Apple ID
GO to the Preferences > Accounts and the iMessages account
Use the Account Detail Button
Use the Sign Out button (Removes ID)
Either or these will stop Messages logging in to the iMessages server and trying to Sync iMessages sent to your Apple ID.

How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval em

How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval email-notification sent to the manager?
TIA

The answer is 'not very easily', unless the information you want to display is the employee's leave balances. In 12.1.3 Oracle have delivered functionality that allows you to include the leave balances in the approval notifications out-the-box, ie, without customization.
For any other information you're probably going to have to customize the standard delivered HRSSA workflow. Within this workflow, the Leave of Absence functionality uses the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_APPROVER_NTF) notification. The body of this notification is set to the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_NTF_EMBEDDED_REGION) attribute. This in turn defaults to:
JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=-&HR_EMBEDDED_REGION-&NtfId=-&#NID-
So essentially you can change the HR_APPROVER_NTF notification. The problem with changing this notification is that it's generic - it's used for all SSHR functions and not just Leave of Absence. That means you have to make other, more substantial, customizations to the workflow to ensure the changes you make only applies to LOA.
The other option is to personalize the review page (ie, the region referenced in &HR_EMBEDDED_REGION) to include whatever messages you want. But that means they'll appear on the Review page and all LOA approval notifications and that might not be what you want.
It's usually better to live with what Oracle deliver and find an alternative solution! What's the content of the message you want to include?

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!

That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread. Is there any way of changing this preference to listing new message at top of the thread?

Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread.
Is there any way of changing this preference so that new messages are displayed at the top of the thread.
This is is more logical. You need to see new message in thread directly, rather than scanning to end of thread to see what is there.

No it is not possible. The newest message is attached to the message it is in reply to.

How do I transfer music and photos from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. Have an old FireWire but it does not fit the new iMac

I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.

You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.
