HT203177 how do I set up a pop3 account - the wizard sets up an IMAP account

I need to set up a POP mail account to simplify life with multip accounts. The wizard seems to not give a choice and goes the IMAP way!
I am on a MacBook Pro using Mountain Lion with the latest fixes installed.
Thanks

Auto configuring a new iMac under OSX 10.8 was a breeze until I started getting mail pushed to me in volumes that initially was confusing until I perused my Mail App settings. IMAP was a surprise and I made a big mistake by calling ATT tech and following their advice on editing the server settings! Mail App was severely wounded and behaving like it was off the wire. I next discovered that under 10.8 I had no ready access to preferences in my home user directory! No Preferences folder? So how am I going to delete and rebuild com.apple.mail.plist??? That issue was resolved by moving in through the GO menu again holding down the OPTION key which lit up the prefs folder. Holy moly - there is no com.apple.mail.plist under Mountain Lion! So then even the nuclear option appeared to be no longer available. This huge conundrum was quickly resolved when the <option> <continue> trick opened the stealthed window for POP mail protocol selection. I suppose I can understand Apple's thinking behind defaulting to IMAP protocols but not providing a clear pathway to selecting the POP protocol is less than I expect of Mother Apple.
FWIW, I also noted that launch/retrieve speed of numerous test emails that I sent to myself clearly demonstrated that POP is many times faster than IMAP in getting mail in and out of my machine.

How to get Implicit Dimensions/Dimension Values in the result set?

Hi All,
How does endeca return implicitly selected dimensions in the result set? For example, consider a dimension set up for Television data as below.
Brand
Samsung
LG
Philips
Type
LEDs
LCDs
Plasma
Lets say, I refine the result set by brand, by selecting Philips. Now lets assume that there were 2 results returned for philips and both the results were of Type - Plasma. In this case, Endeca does not return the Type dimension in the result set, as we cannot drill down the 2 results further based on LED or LCD.
How does Endeca return these implicit dimensions in the result set in such scenarios? Suppose if there was a requirement to show to the user that both the results were of Type - Plasma, how do we get this information from Endeca, by default?
Thanks in advance :)

I have cross dissolve transitions set between images and videos, and I have the pan/zoom hold setting at "0." Despite the "0" setting, my images are static until the cross dissolve is complete. I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible. Is there a solution?

I am not sure if I am zeroing in on what you seek so please clarify...on
I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible.
Do you mean fading in visible versus or completely visible at the end of the transition? Whatever the case, I have not
found a scenario to fit what you are describing.
However, here are my suggestions for you to consider...
1. What is the alignment of the Cross Dissolve transition - Left Clip, Between Clips, or Right Clip. If Between Clips, please try Left Clip alignment.
2. What is the duration of the Cross Dissolve transition - you could try varying the transition duration. If less than 1 second, then please read the
details for minimum transition duration in the following

Please let me know if any of the above worked for you in what you were seeking regarding pan and zoom effect and video transitions.
Thank you.

How to set my ipad to show the latest email first in each account when opening mail ?

In one of my email accounts (@btinternet.com) when I open the mail display, the default setting is to have the oldest email on the account rather than the most recent. This means I have to annoyingly have to scroll up to the most recent. How can I configure so that on opening of the account, I am immediately taken to the newest email.
Thank You

Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

How to send email using pl/sql containing the result set as the msg body

Hi.. im using Pl/SQL code to send emails to the users from a dataset that is obtained in a databse table. i have used utl_smtp commands to establish the connection with the smtp mail server. im stuck at the logic when i have to include the message body which is actually the result set of a table.. For instance
IF (p_message = 0) THEN
UTL_SMTP.write_data(l_mail_conn, 'There is no mismatch between the codes' || UTL_TCP.crlf);
ELSE
UTL_SMTP.write_data(l_mail_conn, 'The missing codes are ' || UTL_TCP.crlf);
for s in (select * from temp)
loop
UTL_SMTP.write_data(l_mail_conn, ' ' ||s || UTL_TCP.crlf);
end loop;
END IF;
UTL_SMTP.close_data(l_mail_conn);
UTL_SMTP.quit(l_mail_conn);
END;
***p_message is a prameter passed to this procedure..
Can i obtain the result in the form i have it in my table. which has three columns. I want to display the three columns as it is with teh records. ?

this is not related about this forum but you can use below,
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SEND_MAIL (subject varchar2,mail_from varchar2, mail_to varchar2,mail_msg varchar2)
IS
mail_host varchar2(30):='XXXXX';
mail_conn utl_smtp.connection;
tz_offset number:=0;
str varchar2(32000);
BEGIN
begin
select to_number(replace(dbtimezone,':00'))/24 into tz_offset from dual;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
mail_conn:=utl_smtp.open_connection(mail_host, 25);
utl_smtp.helo(mail_conn,mail_host);
utl_smtp.mail(mail_conn,'[email protected]');
utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_conn,mail_to);
utl_smtp.open_data(mail_conn);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,'Date: '||to_char(sysdate-tz_offset,'dd mon yy hh24:mi:ss')||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,'From: '|| mail_from ||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,'To: "'|| mail_to ||'" <'||mail_to||'>'||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,'Subject: '||subject||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,replace_turkish_chars(mail_msg)||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.close_data(mail_conn);
utl_smtp.quit(mail_conn);
END;

Advice on RAID Sets, Volume Sets, and RAID Levels of the Volume Sets using an Areca Controller

I have read through a lot of information on disk usage, storage rules for an editing rig, users inquiries/member responses in this forum and I thank each and every one of you – especially Harm.
In building my new workstation, I purchased five (5) WD 1T, 7k, 64M SATAIII hard drives and an Areca RAID card, ARC-1880ix-16-4G, which I plan to use primarily as my media/data disk array. The workstation will use a 128GB SATAIII SSD as the OS/program drive and I will transfer two (2) WD Raptor/10k SATA 70GB drives from my current system for pagefile/scratch/render use. I tentatively plan on using a mobo SATAIII port for the SSD and mobo SATA ports with a software RAID (level 0) for the 10k Raptors.
In reading the Areca Instruction manual, I am now considering exactly how I should configure the 5 physical 1TB drives in terms of RAID Level(s), Volume Sets, and RAID Sets. I must admit that I like the opportunity of allowing for a Dedicated Hot Spare as I am generally distrustful of the MTBF data that drive vendors tout and have the bad experience in the past of losing data from a mal-configured RAID array and a single drive hardware failure (admittedly, my fault!).
In line with the logic that one doesn’t want to perform disk reading while trying to write at the same time (or vice-versa), I am thinking the approach above should work OK in using the mobo disk interface and both software and external hardware RAID controllers without having to create separate RAID level configurations within a Volume Set or further dividing up the physical drives into separate RAID sets. I know in forum messages that Harm noted that he had 17 drives and I could envision a benefit to having separate RAID sets in that situation, but I am not at that point yet.
To some degree I think it might be best to just create one RAID Level on one Volume Set on one RAID Set, but want to solicit thoughts from veteran controller users on their workflows/thoughts in these regards.
Anyone care to share thoughts/perspectives? Thanks
Bill

Thanks for the speedy feedback Harm - I appreciate it.
I was thinking RAID level 3 as well.
Of course, it's always something! I purchased the Caviar Blacks by mistake - which are non-TLER. I will work with EggHead to return the ones I purchased and replace them with RE4 versions as I'm not thrilled about the possibility of the controller declaring the volume/disks degraded unnecessarily and although I have the DOS utility WDTLER where one is supposed to be able to enable/disable TLER on WD drives - I suspect WD is way beyond that now anyway with current builds.
I agree with you about just testing the performance of the options for the raptors - on the mobo and then on the controller. When I benchmark them I'll post the results in case others are curious.
Thanks again....off to EggHead!

How can I convince T'bird to delete email when online in an IMAP account?

When online, deleting email Thunderbird does not automaticly move the message to the Trash folder as selected in "Account Settings:Server Settings:Server Settings:When I delete a message: Move it to this folder: 'Trash'." However, this does work automaticly when Thunderbird is offline.
I'm fairly sure the constant failure, with a notice, of the program to place a sent email into the 'Sent' folder is related. When I mark a messate as junk it is marked junk but not moved to the 'Junk' folder as set in the account settings....
The accounts do have a Trash, Junk and Sent folder on account provider's server.

Jim, I said right click the account in the folder (that is the list on the far left of your screen) when you select subscribe you get a dialog that looks like the attached image. That is "what the server has" So you checking the other dialog for mismatches. You will also need to look in Server settings for your deleted folder setting. For some reason it is not with the others.
If you click on the advanced button in Synchronization and storage, you will get the same "subscribe" dialog if the other instructions just don't cut it.

When I sync my iPhone 4S to my computer, where is the baseline data and documents coming from? Is the iPhone's set of apps and data the default set or are the apps and data on the computer (in the backup? in iTunes?) the default set?

I am having a great deal of trouble with the upgrade to ios 7 on my 4S. The syncing and the software updates always leave generic icon apps that I have downloaded in the past but have deleted from my phone. But they keep reappearing. A restart of the phone fixes the icons but they are loaded not at the last page of the home screen but on completely random pages, screwing up my app and folder layout.
I want to completely wipe the phone and restore the apps one by one, but I am concerned about whether the data and documents for those apps that I reinstall will be intact. Does the syncing for the apps on the phone retrieve the data from the last backup on the computer? If so, does it only sync the apps on the phone or does it try and reinstall all the apps that there is data for in the backup? In other words, does the resulting set of apps and data reflect the current state of the phone or the saved state of the backup?

Apple guys are deleting posts. I have found my posts have been deleted. Apple should MUST let us downgrade at least to previous release from current which was working fine.

On my mini ipad, I cleared the cookies/histories in the safari setting. But what does the advance-setting of the clearing the website data does? What's that used for? Thank you!

On my mini ipad, when I'm on the internet -- a few times I will see a blue small pop-up boxes telling me to allow down/load or add something like the bubble-splash game or something similar. I jusr click ignore and it goes away.. I'm not sure why it's showing up lately.. I'm not sure if it's a virus or hacked in or a web brower matter..
Should I go to the cookies/histories in the safari setting and have it cleared out? Will that help resolve that??
And what does the advance-setting of the clearing the website data does? Sorry, I'm not familiar.. what's is that used for? Should I use that feature as well?? Thank you!

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

How can I read my old POP3 emails on Thunderbird from a closed email account that Thunderbird first wants me to open?

For several years, I routinely used Thunderbird to download (POP mode) emails from my previous Centurytel.net email account. I thought that these POP emails downloaded onto my computer via Thunderbird would later be readable, even though I closed my Centurytel.net email account. However, when opening Thunderbird (to try to read any), the Thunderbird software insists on first logging into that (now defunct email account) by username and password. Of course, now that fails as that account at Centurytel.net no longer exists. Is there a way to still read such old emails by bypassing in Thunderbird the requirement to first log into that now defunct email account?
Thanks in advance for any and all help, Paul

Try setting Thunderbird to offline - look under File on the menu.
Now if you move the messages to Local Folders, you can delete the account in Thunderbird and you won't get any further connection errors.

How do I add my own headers to the default set of request headers without using a plug-in?

When I open HTTP Live Headers, I see that there are default request headers that go out from the browser to the server. I want to add a Pragma header with a specific value to be sent. This will help me to remove a plug-in from my arsenal and thereby be sure that all the request headers are going as a part of the request.

I think this probably requires an extension. As far as I know, there is no preference you could change in about:config or user.js to "add a header".
Or are you generating the request with JavaScript?

How to get a Previously purchased app from the App Store from a different account on the same computer?

Recently had to replace my hard drive and some info has gone missing. An App from the App Store for one. How can I get it back now that I have a new account? It wont let me sign on with the old one anymore.

There's no need to create a new Apple ID just because the hard drive was replaced.
Apps can only be re downloaded using the same Apple ID they were purchased with originally.
You will have to re purchase the app using the new Apple ID.

HELP: How do I add a "DOWNLOADS" folder to the dock on my wife's account?

Hi,
My Leopard has 2 accounts... Mine which is administrator and my wife's which is a user account. For some reason there is no "Downloads" folder on her Dock so when she downloads a file she has trouble finding it. How do I add things to her dock... most importantly a downloads folder?
I have tried but can find no way to do it....

drag the downloads folder from a finder window into the dock. you'll probably want to drag to the right of the divider line.
