How to use Mail - the inbox

Verizon is my ISP.  The email I download from there is correctly transferred to my Mail account on my MacBook Pro.  I let the mail sit in my inbox until I decide to get rid of it - at least that is the plan and the way I have been doing it for many years.  As it is the new year I have decided to do housekeeping.  My Apple Mail inbox idicates I have 24844 messages  of messages and unread messages to go down by 1.  That doesn't happen. I do not want to count the messages in my inbox, but I do not believe I have 20030.  If I select a large number and delete them - they no longer show up in my Inbox, but I can't get any of the numbers listed on my inbox to go down.  1) where is the mail?  2) I wouldn't mind deleting everything in my inbox and starting from scratch, but I don't know how to do it.  Can anyone help?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

    Sounds like you got a store demo. Look in your settings and see if you see "Demo Mode/Demonstration Mode" or something similar.

  • How do I separate the inboxes on my 2 email accounts.

    I have office and personal accounts on my Iphone. under the old version of the operating system, I could keep them completely separate. Now, my home emaill is merged in the inbox...the deleted items are separated into two accounts, however. If it isn't possible to separate the inboxes, how do I uninstall IOS 7?

    Hello barbaraataaae
    Just click the Mailboxes button in the upper left hand corner. From there you should be able to see all the accounts and go between them instead of having the unified inbox

  • How to use Mail to sent messages when away from home

    How do I have to configure my "Mail" on my PowerBook G-4 (OS 10.4.5) in order to use it in a WIFI enviroment?
    At home when connected via Airport to my own Outgoing Mail Server (smtp 8. sympatico.ca) I have absolutely no problems. However, last year I was on a Cruise Ship and tried to use the existing WiFi System. I could receive messages using Mail, but I could not send messages using Mail.
    At the moment I'm visiting my son in the Boston area and I'm having the same problem. I was forced to use the Sympatico Web Mail in order to sent E-mail messages. (receiving mail using "Mail", represents no problem)
    There has to be a way to configure Mail to originate messages and sent them as well, but I cannot find anything which tells me how to do that.
    The version presently installed for Mail is 2.0.7.
    Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
    Best Regards,
    Hank
    iMac 20 G-5, 768 of RAM; 12 PowerBook G-4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Hank,
    The problem here is your ISP (looks like its Sympatico) blocking connections to their mail server from computers not connected directly to their network. I wouldn't blame your ISP though b/c as I understand it almost ALL ISPs block these type of connections to cut down on SPAM being sent.
    What you need to do is to find the outgoing mail server for the network you are on.
    For example, if you look on the "Mail" settings on your Son's computer and note his "Outing Mail Server" (in the "Accounts" pain of "Mail" prefs) settings and then go to your machine and put in that same "Outgoing Mail Server" info then you should be fine.
    You can do this on your machine by selecting "Add Server..." from the "Outgoing Mail Server" drop down menu. When the window comes up just type in the same settings your Son uses. If he does not have a machine with mail setup on it then you can call his ISP and they'll tell you.
    Remember to switch the "outgoing mail server" back to your home server when you return home. By the way, most places (like hotels) will give you their outgoing mail server info if you ask them, so next time you're on a cruise with wifi you might try asking the IT people.
    Best of luck,
    Allen

  • How can I get the inbox name of exchange?

    I wanna get the letters from exchange server, the code i writed below:
    Session session1 = Session.getInstance(new Properties(), null);
    session1.setDebug(true);
    Store store = session1.getStore("pop3");
    store.connect(pop,-1,popuser,poppwd);
    Folder folder = store.getDefaultFolder();
    folder = folder.getFolder("INBOX");
    folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
    the erro report displayed:
    "no such mailbox in this server"
    and i don't know how can i know the mailbox name in my exchange server? is it "INBOX"?
    any idea?
    thank you!

    You can use the following to get a list of the folders that are on the server. I don't know what rules Exchange uses when accessed through POP3 to name its inbox but you should be able to get a complete list this way.
    =======================================================================
    Folder rf = store.getDefaultFolder();
    if ((rf.getType() & Folder.HOLDS_FOLDERS) != 0)
    Folder[] f = rf.list("%");
    int count1 = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < f.length; i++)
    System.out.println(f.getName);

  • How to use at the same time the audio sounds of a keyboard & the midi sounds with mainstage

    Hello! hope you can shed some light on my problem! I want to be able to use at the same time the real sounds of korg sv-1(stage keyboard, but it could be any stage piano with USB midi) and use other sounds from mainstage. Of course i switch between patches and sets with a footpedal so i can be quick with my changes of sounds so I try to keep my hands on the keys.
    My question is: Is there a way that one moment for example i have a silend patch (from mainstage) and the real sound i want passing through audio and the next moment silence from korg and the next patch a sound from mainstage? Or even combine them. I mean in general how am I able to integrate the sounds I prepared and organised in patches in mainstage with the beautiful piano & rhode sounds of my sv-1?
    thanx in advance for your response!

    Yes. To have a silent Mainstage patch, simply do not create any instrument channel strips. To have the SV-1 silent on a patch you should be able to set and save the volume for that patch to 0. As an alternative you could turn local off on the SV-1( this function will reset to local on after the SV-1 has been turned off). With local off you can determine with each Mainstage patch whether or not you want to transmit MIDI to the external instrument(SV-1) channel strip. If you have local on, be careful not to create a MIDI feedback/loop with the SV-1. This is a lot of info to digest at once, so take it slowly, step by step. Snapshots below are somewhat in order.
    Click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner of the channel strips section to get to this menu. Select add external instrument channel strip.
    The external channel instrument strip will look like this.
    Click on the MIDI output box to show the display below and choose your external keyboard destination(SV-1).
    In the channel strip inspector you can send patch changes to the SV-1.
    Here is where you select the MIDI input for routing MIDI to the SV-1. If want no SV-1 sound for this Mainstage patch, select none.
    You'll need to play with these parameters to get the desired results. Stepping through the MS patches with a footswitch can be done, too, but that can wait for now. Post another question when you master these steps.

    hi sudha
    if u see my select statement is contains four Primary keys
    srvll
    lgreg
    ctsty
    guid_lclic
    but the next table connected to this table legcon is by guid_pobj and anothe table by guid_mobj
    and if i take this gt_sagmeld to another temp table and i find abt 10 lakh uniques guid_pobj
    similary 6 lakh guid_mobj so the next slect is hanpering because of this
    not COMING TO OUR POINT IF I SORT ONLY BY OUR PRIMARY KEYS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TEH GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ
    THE ENTRIES ARE VERY LESS BUT IF I TAKE INOT ACCCOUNT IN GT_SAGMELD THE ENTRIES ARE ABT 20 LAKH
    SO I AM NOT SURE WHETHER TO TAKNE GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ INOT ACCOUNT FOR DELECTING ADJACENT DUPLICATES?
    HENCE THE QUESTION OF ON WHICH FIRLD DELETE OR COMPARING ALL FIELDS I USE?

  • How to use Mail with Kerberos?

    I am a Mac user in a mostly Windows office which uses an Exchange Mail Server 2003 for mail. Currently I connect to our mail server using Mail's Password Authentication. This works well, but our IT manager is concerned that this method sends the password in the clear, and would like to have me connect using Kerberos. But when I try using Kerberos (I've tried both version 4 and version 5 in Mail), Mail will not send. It waits a long time, then I get a drop down message saying "Cannot send message using the server ......"
    There are others in our office using Windows laptops who are able to send mail using Kerberos, so it should work on our server.
    Is there something wrong with Mail's use of Kerberos?
    What do I need to change? (I'm using Mail Version 2.0.7 (746.2/749.3) with OS X 10.4.6.)
    Thanks.

    It doesn't seem anyone here knows anything about Kerberos? Any suggestions where I might post my question and find an answer?

  • Where do I find information on how to use all the features of iPhoto on the iMac?

    I was told that iphoto  would be easy to use on IMac but I am not finding that true.  Is there a guide to how to use Iphoto?  Transferring photos from my external drive to iphoto is not working as I would expect.  It imports them to a new "last import" and not to the folder I want.  I am frustrated and can't find information that is helpful.  help window only gives me connections I'm not looking for.  I'm not seeming to ask the right questions.  Can't even find the category I'm looking for.  Is there a guide somewhere that I don't know about?

  • Could someone explain how to use of the object Thermometer?

    Hi to all,
    please, could someone write a real example explaining how to use the thermometer in order to indicate the progress of a process like to submit a document?
    I need to do it exactly to indicate this process in Adobe Reader.
    Thanks.
    Dan

    Sorry but I surely have explained my problem badly. I understand how to use the object thermometer perfectly.
    I need to use this object in order to determine the progress of the document's transference when I submit a PDF form from Adobe Reader.
    I'm having problems when I try to do this, and I would like to know if there exists some way to do it.
    b I have tried the following:
    var t = app.thermometer;
    t.duration = 1000;
    // How can I know this value?
    t.begin();
    t.text = "Please wait";
    // Is this a madness?
    while( event.target.submitForm( { cURL: [...], cSubmitAs: [...] } ) )
       t.value++;
    t.end();
    Thank you for your time

  • How to Use iSync - the Fundamentals

    Is there a basic user guide that will help me understand "strategies" on how to use iSync?
    I have
    1-MacBook Pro
    2-iMacs
    1-iPod Touch
    and would like to understand (maybe a flow or picture) how to best use this feature.
    Is there (or should there be) a "primary" reference machine?
    TIA
    -jP

    iSync is for syncing Contacts and Calendars to third-party mobile phones and PDAs. It won't help with any of the devices you want to sync.
    If you are syncing between Macs, you will be using *MobileMe Sync*. The forum for that is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    If you are syncing to an iPod touch, you will be using iTunes (to sync music, video, photos etc.) or MobileMe (for syncing Contacts, Calendars and Email wirelessly). The forum for that is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1264
