IMAP has me confused: Two "trash" buckets?

I bought an iPhone. Really nice.
On suggestion by several people I changed my Apple Mail.app from POP to IMAP and also use that on iPhone. Works OK.
What I don't understand is why under the Trash (basket) icon I have 2 "accounts":
On My Mac
IMAP Account
If an email comes in and I read and click the red delete button it goes to IMAP Account. When I try to purge it from there... it goes to On My Mac account... and I have to do it again.
How did I screw up? (I have the setup parm: "Keep copies for offline viewing - All messages and attachments" as that was the default. Is that an issue? All the websites I read to help me set this up didn't mention anything about it so I left it alone.
Thanks for your help.

What you’re observing is normal.
Each mail account has its own Trash and there is also an On My Mac Trash where deleted messages are moved if they were previously stored in a custom “On My Mac” mailbox or in a locally stored mailbox associated with an IMAP account (i.e. a mailbox for which Store messages on the server has been turned OFF in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors).
IOW, if you delete a message from a mailbox stored in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, Mail puts the message in the On My Mac Trash, which corresponds to the ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Deleted Messages.mbox folder.
If an email comes in and I read and click the red delete button
it goes to IMAP Account. When I try to purge it from there...
it goes to On My Mac account... and I have to do it again.
Although pretty stupid, this is “normal” too. You have Store deleted messages on the server OFF, so that account’s Trash is stored locally in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Deleted Messages (AccountName).mbox. When you delete a message from there, Mail does the same it does when you delete a message from any other mailbox stored in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, completely ignoring the fact that this particular mailbox is actually the account’s Trash...
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Confusion about Trash Folder online, offline and Deleted Messages folder!

    Hello everyone,
    Why does Mail (Desktop) have TWO Trash folders? I only have MobileMe IMAP account setup (so there's no POP business here :o)). Despite of this single account setup, the folder structure seems confusing. At the very top on the left pane we have MAILBOXES which contain Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash. Under Trash, I have two folders one is the local Trash and the other [email protected] - what is the significance of these? Under Mail Preferences - > Accounts - > Mailbox Behaviors -> Trash, I have both checkboxes checked (Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox & Store deleted messages on the server), junk mail is set to send messages to the Trash.
    Add mystery & confusion to the above, I also have another category in the left pane named after my account ([email protected] Under this I have a folder which I have setup (I set this up to be on my [email protected] as opposed to On My Mac). That part is obvious. But what is that Deleted Messages folder doing here? I did not create this manually. Essentially Mail is telling me that this is a user added folder that exists on the server (at MobileMe). I see this Deleted Messages on the server too. What causes the creation of this folder? (Over there I have "Move deleted messages to the [Trash]" option enabled under Preferences)
    I tried deleting the Deleted Messages folder online and my desktop Mail threw away its default Trash icon! I had nowhere to throw my trash. (although this was resolved after waiting for a while and relaunching Mail).
    Can anyone shed some light on this? Just like my Mac, I'd like to keep things neat and simple. I'd like to have a single Trash can (it's too much work emptying two Trash cans in addition to the household trash :o)), not to mentioned the third Deleted Messages!

  • Dynamic link confusing two separate AE compositions in PPro from different projects

    I am using CS5 Master Collection for Windows 7 (64 bit) on an HP Pro desktop (Intel core 2 duo, 6Gb RAM). The tower has two hard drives installed (no RAID). CS5 is installed on the original C drive along with the OS, but the working files, footage etc are all on the larger, secondary F drive.
    I am working on a DVD project consisting of several seperate PPro projects. Each project has been colour corrected in AE using dynamic linking. Recently two of my projects suddenly became mixed up, by which I mean the video (not the audio) from one AE composition in one project has taken the place of another in another project. The clip remains the same length, but the link apears to be referencing the wrong clip during playback. Interestingly, there are two clips on the track above the affected clip that fade out and in at either end, during the dissolves between clips, the correct footage plays. It is only when the clip plays by itself that the problem occurs. The next clip also has the same error, though the problem only occurs for half the clip and then suddenly corrects itself. Just to be clear, All clips have been rendered, there are no more than two video tracks on the sequence, and I have tried replacing the composition from the asset menu (in which the clip plays back correctly), but the problem remains in the sequence.
    I hope that descrition is clear enough. My guess is some kind of file path error in the dynamic link, perhaps due to the separate hard drive. But I really wouldn't know. I'm very pressed for time right now and I'd prefer not to go against workflow and re-edit a new composition in AE, I would also like to understand what is going on in case it happens again.
    Any help with ths problem would be appreciated,
    J

    Thanks Colin, I tried what you suggested with both the AE Project that it should be referencing and the AE project it is erroneously referencing but both failed to fix the issue. Its as if a hidden clip were laid over the top of the one I want to play. Frustrating.

    It's not the comps that are the problem; it's the project file names themselves. You can have all the comps in a project named the same thing, and it'll be fine, but naming projects incrementally is an issue. After Effects includes a versioning function (Save and Increment) that will create a new AE project file with a serial number, e.g. AE Project 01, AE Project 02, etc. This is all well and good if you're just working in After Effects, but Dynamic Link gets confused and will usually start looking at the later project file for comps. That will just create a big mess, as you've found. Changing the names of the project files won't help things relink automatically properly, but it can help you fix things. Make all your DL AE comps offline in your Pr projects, and name your AE projects in a manner that is not serial (give them more random names). Select your offline AE comps, and right-click > Link Media, and point to the new AE project. Things should link up correctly then--but if they don't, you'll just have to remove all the AE comps from your Pr project, reimport the comps from the newly-named AE project, and replace them. It's a pain but it'll probably just keep getting worse if you don't.

  • Have two trash folders,no junk folder on screen?

    I set up a new e-mail account. Under my in box column, I have two trash folders, but no junk folder.How do I add a junk folder to folder's list ? Also how to remove one of the trash folders.
    Thanks

    Thunderbird does not use a Spam folder. If your email provider does you may need to subscribe to it if you have an IMAP account.
    Go to File-Subscribe and see what you see there.

  • I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom and a tiny circle at top.  The fading on and off light isn't working anymore either.  Does anyone know anything about this?

    I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen - they look light brighter spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom right and a tiny circle at top right.  The fading on and off light on area surrounding the screen isn't working anymore either.  Has anyone else had similar problems?  Any solutions?  Thanks!

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

    In the last week my Imac (OS Lion) has started opening two to seven programs every time I log in.  Why?  How do I stop it?  I think it started after I was led to do something I can't remember with Terminal.app.

    If they have open windows/documents from your last use of the application, try going to System Preferences/General and check the 'Close windows when quitting application'.

  • I am unable to fully download iPhoto on my iPad 2. It downloads nearly to the end and then I get a message that says"unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. What do I do? Many thanks!

    How do I download iPhoto to my iPad 2 iOS 6? It refuses to fully download. Towards the end of the download, I get a message that says "unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. I already have iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Many thanks.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Here's a nifty agorithm to fill an array of primes, using a forever loop with a labeled continue statement, from Horton's Beginining Java:public class MorePrimes
      public static void main(String[] args)
        long[] primes = new long[20];    // Array to store primes
        primes[0] = 2;                   // Seed the first prime
        primes[1] = 3;                   // and the second
        int count = 2;                   // Count of primes found - up to now,
                                         // which is also the array index
        long number = 5;                 // Next integer to be tested
        outer:
        for( ; count < primes.length; number += 2)
          // The maximum divisor we need to try is square root of number
          long limit = (long)Math.ceil(Math.sqrt((double)number));
          // Divide by all the primes we have up to limit
          for(int i = 1; i < count && primes[i] <= limit; i++)
            if(number%primes[i] == 0)             // Is it an exact divisor?
              continue outer;              // yes, try the next number
          primes[count++] = number;               // We got one!
        for(int i=0; i < primes.length; i++)
          System.out.println(primes); // Output all the primes

  • Aperture has a bad memory and has gone confused

    Aperture 3.0.3 has a bad memory and has gone confused... or is it just me?
    I have several referenced files that are quite confusing.
    This is what I see in list view:
    Version name: filename
    Filename: filename.cr2 (Canon raw file)
    Camera model: iPhone (doesn't shoot Canon raw)
    The same file in Locate referenced Files-dialogue:
    Version name: anotherfilename
    Filename: anotherfilename.jpg (not Canon raw anymore)
    Both views show the same date. The image is shot with my Canon.
    Are you confused? I am.
    The bad memory is frustrating. Almost every time I start Aperture I also had to reenter my preferences (thumbnail size, external editor etc). This is discussed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2565307&tstart=0.
    I have some tother issues too. Aperture doesn't help me anymore. It prevents me from doing what I love - making pictures.
    I have rebuilt and repaired the library.
    I have followed Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805.
    I'm out of ideas and would really appreciate if you can help me.
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    No, I'm no importing RAW+jpg and I haven't been editing metadata manually in the library. I don't even know how I would do that. Any suggestions about which appliccation it could be? Photoshop? Painter? Mail?
    I have other issues too and that makes me think that there had to be something else too. Face detection is running wen it's turned off and number of versions doesn't show when the settings is set to Show number of versions.
