I recently switched over to Mail from Eudora

I recently switched over to Mail from Eudora because of problems with Eudora and DSL that remain unresolved. However,I've run into an immediate problem.
I retrieve mail from two locations: Home (DSL and now using Mail) and work (T1 and using Eudora). If I read, reply, and delete my mail from home, with Mail, when I next check my mail at work, all of that mail I've read and deleted appears. Mail seems not to be deleting anything off the actual mail servers. I've deleted, emptied trash, deleted trash, etc., but that mail isn't really gone, and that's not really helpful.
Am I simply missing a setting somewhere? A box that has to be checked that says "Really, no kidding, delete the bleedin' mail"? This is not a problem I've encountered with said competing product.
Thanks for all advice,
GF

If for a POP type account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, is Remove from server after retrieving a message selected and if so, what is your selection below for removing messages from the server?

I recently switched over from Apple to Sony and I would like to know how I can change my settings so that all my iCloud emails are forwarded to my Gmail account?

I recently switched over from Apple to Sony and I would like to know how I can change my settings so that all my iCloud emails are forwarded to my Gmail account?

Log in on iCloud.com and go to Mail. In Mail, at the bottom left you should see a gear icon. Click on it, go to Settings (or Preferences, I'm doing this from memory), and in there you'll find an option to forward your iCloud email to another service.

Can anyone tell me how to upload a url to an image onto facebook the way you could with a pc. Recently switched over to Mac and this is one thing I can't seem to figure out. Basically in Windows you could right click on an image, click copy the image url

I've recently switched over to a Mac and before in Windows on a pc if you wanted to post an image on facebook you would right click the image you found on the post you wanted to share, then click copy url. You'd simply take that url and put it into the facebook post when uploading an image and that's all. Can not seem to find a way to do it now, other than saving the image to the computer and then uploading that which is not what I want to do. I've searched and searched but can't seem to find a solution other then posting in Parallels Window.
Any suggestions??

Thanks brody, I had been able to do that but on my business fb page I often post images and put in the links myself in the descriptions. In Windows you're able to post images by simply pasting in the url but on the Mac I'd have to download someone's image which I'm not comfortable doing so I find myself switching back and forth between the Mac and Windows.
This link explains what I'm trying to do on the Mac probably in a less confusing way than I just did: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57496509-285/quickly-upload-photos-to-facebo ok-by-pasting-the-image-url/

I have a licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows. I recently switched over to MAC OS and would like to move my Adobe X Pro over but the CD will not work for Mac OS? Can anyone assist me with this conversion? Best, James.

you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac. you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

Import Mail from Eudora on Windows

Currently I use Gmail as my main email account, so I have never used Apple Mail. I am fully switching to the Mac (finally) after having had an iBook and now a Macbook for 3.5 years.
I set up my original AOL account as an IMAP account, and that works just fine, there is no saved mail to import, and a few messages were on the server in the "old mail" folder.
The problem comes when I need to import the mail from an old Comcast account on what used to be my main Windows computer. It was in Eudora for Windows, as at the time I set up the account, it was in the pre-Thunderbird days, and I didn't want a Microsoft email client.
I imported the .mbx files into Apple Mail, and for the most part they imported correctly. One major problem, however, is with jokes that my grandfather sends me. I have him send them to the old account so that they don't clog up my Gmail inbox. The problem is, they imported without any of the forwarded part, and that is the important part of the message.
Can I get Mail to properly import the messages or should I try working with Thunderbird? I don't care too much about this account, but I do want to keep the old mail. No matter what I do, I am going to keep the old .mbx files so that worst case scenario, if I found a message that was improperly imported, I could install Eudora on a Windows box and access the .mbx files.
I just forwarded a many times forwarded joke from my Gmail account to the Comcast address, and Mail deals with it just fine, so its only the imported old Mail.

is the Eudora format the same on windos as it is on the mac?
No, they are different - among the easy things they use different EOL characters and different character encoding but also the (binary) TOC is different. I am pretty sure that TB on Mac does not do too well with Windows Eudora...

What's the best type of anti-virus or spyware to use for cleaning up my MacBook Pro? I recently switched to a mac from pc, so don't know much about my computer yet.

I recently switched to a macbook pro from a pc, and am curious what type of (if any) virus protection or spyware protection to use for it. I keep getting a message to Install MacKeeper 2012; but am not sure if it's worth paying for or not. I'd like some advice on what would be the best protection for my computer. Also, I recently had the new microsoft office installed; which has been having issues freezing up quite often when I use it. I don't know if clenaing my mac would help with the Microsoft office stuff, or not (or even if that would be related)...also each time I restart my computer; all windows applications open (word, power point, excel & outlook). obviously I'm not very tech savvy to begin with so any advice would help! I'm hoping this computer will last me thru the next 4 years of grad school & just want to make sure this computer is well taken care of to last that long. Thanks!

Apple Mail switching my outgoing mail from receipt e-mail to another e-mail within my accounts

Hi ~
My Apple Mail account keeps switching outgoing mail accounts on me, nilly-willy. If a mail comes in under a particular address, i.e. [email protected] it will send a return e-mail from another address within my accounts, i.e. [email protected], EVEN if a) the account shown in the FROM line is the original [email protected]; and 2) my signature for that particular account shows in the e-mail. It seems to happen only with the 5 G-mail accounts synched into the mail program, and not with a business address with a different server.
Any suggestions to fix this particularly pesky problem?

I have something similar. I have 4 email accounts one being Gmail. No matter what account receives the email the replay is automatically directed to the Gmail account. There have been some discussions out there about problems with Gmail accounts. This may be connected to problems.

Just lost over 500 mails from E61 Blackberry folde...

Hi all
My first post here. I was looking around earlier and discovered that my Blackberry version was 6.18 and there was a newer 6.28, so I downloaded the newer version. I also downloaded the desktop manager to sync my phone with my pc.
When I ran the desktop manager it appears its for BES only. My blackberry is internet based with O2 in Ireland, so I couldnt use it.
I then decided that before I install 6.28 of BB Connect, I should do a backup as I could not use Desktop Manager, so I did a full backup to my SD card and ALSO did a full backup to pc.
I then installed the new BB Connect and when I started I had no mails and had to send service books again. I then got these through and still njothing, so I did an SD card restore and restarted phone. Still nothing!!!! Then I did a PC Suite restore and restart and still nothing!!!!!!!!!!!
Help! I had over 500 mails there from the last 4 weeks and all are gone.
A. Is there any way I can get them back?
B. Can I sync them with my PC in future to stop this happening?

I would agree... you'd think the restore would take some amount of time.
If the emails are more important to you than anything else on your phone right now, you might consider trying to reset your phone... and hope that the restore can run successfully then. But i'm not all that hopeful that it will work.
Anyway, here's a link I found on how to do it:

Switching back to Mail from Outlook (for Mac)

I've had my Mac for only about 8 months now and was happy with Apple Mail - at first. Then I got a hold of MS Outlook 2011 (for Mac) and switched. Now, with the impending revamping of Mail with Mac OS X Lion, I want to switch back to Mail but there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do it that will transfer all my emails and folders etc.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip. I had stumbled across this article but became lost amongst the technobabble. It seems like an awfully convoluted process. I downloaded the file converter program referenced but it's the exporting of the Outlook emails that is so time consuming. I can't seem to select all the folders at once (and I have a lot).
Thanks again! I'll keep trying.

Switched over to MGCP from H323, no incoming calls fast busy

Hello, I'm on the network side crossing over to the Voice side. We replaced a 3825 Voice Router at a branch office with a 2921. The 3825 was setup with a T1 and had a PRI connected to the FXO ports. The 2921 is now connected via fiber and TAC helped get the router registered to the Call Manager. I'm trying to match up the old dial peers on the new router. I can't make out going or receive incoming calls, I get a This Call Can't be completed at this time.
When it was on the T1, the branch office was using H323. Now that's connects to the same CUCM, it's on MGCP. Shouldn't the old Dial Peers work on the new router?

I had to configure the FXO ports for the DN to route the incoming calls. I learned just because the Call Manager configured the Voice Gateway as a client, you still must configure the FXO ports to route the main DID to a DN on the LAN.
Great advice, learning alot about telephony and VoIP.
Wish I had more experience troubleshooting the CUCM and DID portion, also learned the phone compnay doesn't turn up their ISDN switch until you configure your PBX. And a PRI testing isn't the same as the data T1, it's about having the Signaling channel turned up and or configured.
Lessons learned, wished I would have crossed over to VoIP earlier.

A few months ago when I switched over to icloud from mobile me I set up my icloud with a new email address and now I can't get my calendars to sync with my iphone. I can't cancel either account-the icloud or mobile me.

Please help! I have two separate email addresses -my old mobile me and the new icloud and now nothing is syncing with my iphone. I'm not sure how to get everything back to syncing the way it was before I changed everything over to icloud.

If you really did migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, you would have the same address as before.
It sounds as though you didn't actually migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, you just started up a brand new iCloud account.
You won't be able to access MobileMe now. If you failed to move everything over to iCloud properly, then all the data and the account has been deleted as Apple said it would at the end of July.
To get everything to sync, you need to make sure all your devices and computers are logged into the same iCloud account. Possibly what has happened is some are still using the old (now deleted) MobileMe account and some are using the new iCloud account.

If I switch over to Mac from PC will I be able to use my Quickbooks pc version or Adobe photoshop cs?

Will Quickbooks pc versions work on Macs or will all my software have to be replaced? Will make the switch to Apple soon and trying to anticipate process. Also have Adobe photoshop CS and Quicken. Any suggestions or advice appreciated.

Hello Herbert258,
Short answer: No.
Long answer: You have to buy the Mac versions for applications, kind of like Adobe Photoshop. If you want to keep your applications (and save some $$$) you can install Windows on Mac using boot camp. There are programs out there like Parallels where you can run windows on your desktop of your future Mac. You still need a copy of Windows to install, and Parallels is about $70.
Best of luck,
Sean

Recent update has stopped mail from my ISP...

I started having a problem getting Plusnet emails on my Mac Mail app while still getting gmail ones. I was told by Plusnet that it was an ongoing problem to do with an Apple update that requires extra security. I contacted Apple, who helped me by remote assistance to rectify it. For future reference the fix that is needed for the Plusnet account (and any other account suffering similarly) in Mail is under the Advanced tab to have ‘Use SSL’ unchecked and ‘Allow insecure authentication’ CHECKED (I was told originally to ensure both were UNchecked).
This worked and I got my mail as usual. However, even though I click to save these settings, if Mail is turned off and on again, it reverts to the default setting and needs to be rechecked again. Anyone know why this is not saving and/or how I can get this to save permanently on Mail?

Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Advanced - uncheck Automatically detect and maintain account setting. Repeat for each account.

I am using CC v17.1 on a PC. I have recently taken over design responsibilities from someone who used a Mac. I need to use the Cygnet Round font, but it looks completely different on my PC than it did on the Mac.

I am wondering if fonts look different on a PC than a Mac. The font I am using is Cygnet Round, and it is completely different on my PC. I am at a loss....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi John, I am using Adobe Illustrator CC Version 17.1.

My phone is not switching from 4G over to WiFi. The phone has the network memorized its just not check marking the network and to switch over to WiFi. How can I fix this?

I have the iPhone 4S and the wifi was working on it earlier yesterday. I noticed that the wifi didn't kick on last night. It has the network memorized so it could connect automatically. The network name pops up and there's a signal but the spinning circle thing is there and it won't put a check mark by the network name. The wifi will pop up every now and then but only stay for a minute or less. Everyone else's phone and computer is connecting just fine but mine isn't. It won't switch over to WiFi from 4G. I've tried turning off the wifi on my phone. I've tried to forget the network and put in the password numerous of times and I tried to fix it by turning my phone on and off and that still didn't work. I'm hoping that this is a temporary thing but I don't know. What's a good way to fix this because seriously I would like to not use up all of my data for this kind of bull crap. So what's a good way to fix this?

I got the ATV hooked up to the WiFi after manually inputting the DHCP settings.
The ATV will not see iTunes from a PC on the same iTune network. I guess you need an Apple computer for iTunes to connect to the ATV.
The biggest problem is that the iTunes store on the ATV is nonexistent I imagine because of competition/ monopolies in the UAE. If I was in Lao, Burma, Thailand, Mozambique no problem. 40 Countries are listed and non of them are from the Middle East. When I logon to the iTunes store on my PC it too does not allow for me to buy any movies or TV shows. I am not sure why.
As for the iPad OS6, iTunes has an icon and when you click it you get iTune U or Podcast, no video content. The App store works fine and they are always happy to take your money but no video content.
To top it all off YouTube is no longer licensed under OS6.0 and although I can get it on Google Chrome it is by no means as quick (for reasons unknown).
As I said before if I choose United States as my country the ATV hooks up and lets me browse TV and movies and watch trailers but not able to purchase (obviously).
So my conclusion is that ATV will not hook up to the iTune store in the UAE? If this is incorrect please clue me in.
