Is it okay to use the mail client?

I have not been using the mail client that came on my iMac for fear of downloading malware and other troublesome attachments that I get on my pc account. Am I being over cautious?

I'd say yes - it's not simply your email client - it's your ISP as well. Use the filters available, see what protection your ISP offers and use it all and then go for it! And, be careful who you share your email address with - I rarely have a problem and PC virus attachments can't hurt your Mac; the most they'll do is something bad to a PC user's machine if you forward it.

Sending an email using the gmail client on the iPhone

Hello,
When I send an email using the gmail client on the iPhone, the message I send then shows up in my 'in box' and not my 'sent' box. Mail app on my computer behaves in the same manner. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, its because gmail treats each message as a "conversation" rather than emails sent or recieved. so your sent email will say "from me" all in the same inbox. check this on the web based gmail...

Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

HT5501 i cannot use the mail app anymore.

after the security update, i'm using snow leopard 10.6.8. it says my version 4.5 (1084/1085) can't be used in my version of OS X (10.6.8)

As Apple clearly allows to move the mail app into a different place, it is not a valid option to make security updates that expect it, where it was installed originally. I have set up different folders for apps, i.e. office, games, net, tools etc... and dropped the applications there. So my mail.app is located in the subfolder "net". This did work flawlessly since 2009 now. All of the sudden mail.app does not work anymore since yesterday.
BTW mail is not the only app that gets fu**ed up by the update. I found 2 other programs but could recover them from my time maschine backups yesterday.
Moving all apps to the default folder and download gigs of data IS NOT AN OPTION. If Apple does not want me to use their mail client, there are other options. At least until they fix this bug and provide a working update...
Cheers, Mike
I am with 10.6.8 because 10.7.x was unstable windows like bull**it.
I did not try 10.8 yet but from what I read I am not too optimistic.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why?

Hej some one,
I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why & what can I do?

Check your smtp preferences in mail.app.
See if mail.app's Connection Doctor has any useful info. Does it's status indicate all is ok? When you use it's Show Detail are there any (useful) error messages?

I'm trying to distribute a DB Application using the Instant Client provided

Hi!!
I'm trying to distribute a DB Application using the Instant Client provided by Oracle.
I've checked the FAQ of Oracle and says the Instant Client supports all existant versions of Oracle.
But I've also seen in another posting that the oci.dll needs the same Oracle version file it was created with.
I need to distribute an application that provides all the 8i, 9i and 10g versions.
Do I have to distribute the oci.dll for each version?
I just wanted to check if this was true.
One more question, when I uncompress the Instant Client, many files appear from which
I only left oci.dll, oraocci11.dll and oraociei11.dll and erased them all, but the program
still works. Is it ok?
thanx

I am not sure what you mean if you say that you "need to distribute an application that provides all the 8i, 9i and 10g versions".
If you mean that you want your application to be able to access Oracle Databases of versions 8, 9 and 10, then you can use Instant Client 10.2.0.4 which is able to connect to all of them.
If your application does not need more than the three DLLs you mention to run, that should be fine.

Mail window may be in the Full Screen mode.
Move the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the Mail window and hold it there.
Menu bar should drop down and click the blue double arrow icon.

Using the same client for both regfree and out-of-proc COM

Hi,
Here is the context:
1. We have the same set of COM objects that can be deployed as in-proc COM servers (dlls) or out-of-proc COM servers (exe). In-proc servers are called through regfree COM.
2. We have test projects that use the in-proc COM servers through regfree COM.
I would like to use the same test client projects for both regfree and out-of-proc COM servers (but not at the same time). For example, I would like to first run the client using regfree COM, then delete the in-proc dll and register the out-of-proc com server,
and then run the client again without having to recompile. But I have not found a way to do this.
Instead, what I have to do is modify the project settings of the test client project, removing the regfree stuff (the manifest dependencies) before I can use the test client project with the out-of-proc server.
Is there a way to do this without recompiling?
FYI, I have tried regfree COM by changing the client project's Project->Properties->Linker->Manifest file->Additional Manifest Dependencies, or by changing the client project's Project->Properties->Manifest Tool->Input and Output->Additional
Manifest Files. Either way works with regfree COM. And either way I have to remove those settings before making it work with out-of-proc COM (and hence recompiling, which is what I am trying to avoid).
Thanks,
Nick

Try Manifest Tool > Input and Output > Embed Manifest = No, and change Linker > Manifest File > Manifest File to drop ".intermediate" in the middle (or just rename the file after the build).
A manifest doesn't have to be embedded into the executable, it could be a standalone file named like ApplicationName.exe.manifest and sitting in the same directory next to the .EXE. Then you can simply delete or rename it back and forth to switch between
registered and reg-free COM.

Using the SAF client from the wlfullclient.jar in Tomcat or Jetty?

I'm trying to use the SAF client in Tomcat and Jetty and if I use the wlfullclient.jar I get the following error when I start the application:
          java.lang.InternalError: error initializing kernel caused by: java.lang.AssertionError: Duplicate initialization of WorkManager
          If I use the "thin" client jars everything works fine. Unfortunately I need to be able to use the full client in some cases. Is there some way to get this to work or is there a conflict between the Weblogic classes and the other Servlet containers?
          Edited by mhellkamp at 08/30/2007 3:42 PM

I believe the conflict here is with the Tomcat/Jetty WorkManager. I don't think the client was inteneded to run insides another container. That's why you're getting that error of duplicate initialization of WorkManager.
          Why not replace the Tomcat/Jetty with another WebLogic instance? :)

Unable to open RSS Feeds in Safari, I am forced to use the Mail app.

Unable to open RSS Feeds in Safari, I am forced to use the Mail app.
Since I have Safari 6.0 (OS X Lion 10.7.4 on MacBook Pro bought this year) I am being forced to use the Mail app in order to open RSS Feeds, but I do not want to use the Mail app.
Does someone please has a solution for me? People form Apple, are you reading this? It is annoying me.
Greetings

Firefox doesn't show how many unread items there are in a feed, but Safari 5.x did. I guess I have no reason to use Safari anymore.
