Is there a way to change how Thunderbird checks multiple email accounts from several at once to checking them one at a time?

There is one problem I've had that I've never seen anyone else have! I live in an area of the Philippines with very poor performing Internet service. Things are slow but, it's enough if you have patience. My freelance work requires that I have multiple email accounts. Thunderbird handles this well except when initially checking emails. Because it checks email accounts all at once, I usually get timeouts and then have to resort to checking them manually, one at a time. So, I'm wondering if the way Thunderbird checks accounts can be changed to one at a time, especially at startup? Thanks!

Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
(3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.

  • Is there a way to change the font color for emailing and the signature?

    Is there a way to change the font color with email signature on the iPhone and iPad?
    I changed the color in Word on my laptop, emailed and copied to my signature, but it converts it back to black........

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

    I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Is there any way to upload Tariff Code (with multiple XML files) from application server?

    Hi All,
    Is there any way to upload Tariff Code (with multiple XML files) from application server?. Its urgent.
    Regards,
    Jatin

    Hi Jatin,
    Yes, of course you can upload multiple files for tariff codes.
    This can be done by the below path:-
    SAP GTS Cockpit(tcode-/sapsll/menu_legal)-->Customs Management-->Classification-->Classification Master Data-->Upload Tariff Code Numbers from XML file(tocde- /SAPSLL/LLNS_UPL101).
    In the above area after browsing and choosing the first file, please select multiple check box to choose more files as well. Then you can further select your application server and upload all those files in one go.
    PS:- Although, we have an option to upload multiple such files but actually we should avoid multiple file uploads due to various reasons. Hence, please take utmost care during such procedure.
    Regards,
    Aman

  • Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

    Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
    It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
    If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture

  • Is there a way to add transitions to several still pictures without doing them one at a time

    Is there a way to add transitions to several still pictures without doing them one at a time

    You don't say which version of the program you're using but, in version 10, if you select several media clips on the timeline at once, you can right-click and select the option to Add Default Transition between them all. (You can also designate any transition as the Default Transition.)
    You can also use the Slideshow Creator in the Media panel to apply the Default Transition between any stills you've gathered to create a slideshow from.
    And, if you create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer (prior to sending it to Premiere Elements), you can select the option to add random transitions between your slides.
    You can learn how to do all of these thing step by step in my books, by the way, if you're interested.

  • How to setup multiple email accounts on one apple device It syncs to the rest of my apple devices?

    I have a Macbook pro (10.8.2), iPad 4 (6.0.1), and iPhone 5 (6.0.1).
    I have multiple email accounts set up on my iPhone:
    3X Work
    1X personal
    1X School
    They use Gmail and Microsoft exchange.
    Is it possible to have all these accounts automatically created on my ipad and Macbook without typing in all info again?
    Heres a visual:
    I hope this makes it a little more clear.
    I'm sure in the time it took me to type this, I could've manually added all the accounts to the devices lol
    Oh, and iCloud > Mail is enabled on all devices.
    Thanks for any and all help!

    Your post is a bit open ended....
    First thing - You need to decide if you want to use virtual domains or not.
    If
         [email protected]
         [email protected]
         [email protected]
    all should be separate mailboxes, then you need virtual domains.
    If those 3 addresses can all go to the same mailbox, then you don't.
    If you don't need virtual domains, then don't use them... things are simpler without that feature.
    If thats the case, in the domain name field in Mail service, enter your primary domain.
    You'll then need to enter your other domains via command line.
    First, check your mail domain setting with:
    sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain
    Here is how you enter more than one domain:
    - Quit the Server app
    - Issue this with your domains between the quotes
    sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain = "domain1.com, domain2.com"
    - Restart postfix to activate your change
    sudo postfix reload
    If you open the Server app, you will notice both domains are now listed.

  • Is there a way to change how Photoshop handles pen pressure per stroke?

    I'm a digital illustrator, and at current I have to switch between Corel Painter and Photoshop for my work flow, but for only one seemingly simple reason. Painter obviously has reproducing natural media at its heart, and as such some of the dry media functions (charcoal, pencil, pastel, etc.) work with an absolute pressure basis. No matter how many times you go over a swathe of pixels or pick up your pen, opacity/flow is determined solely by pressure.
    Photoshop on the other hand functions more like wet media, with the assumption that you're picking up more paint with every lift of the pen.
    Now here's the real kicker, I'm not a big fan of Painter. I'm more comfortable with Photoshop and I've found plenty of ways to get past texture and blending issues with the wonderful open ended brush tools and a couple fancy plugins, but I can't get around this. I learned art as a dry media artist, and as such my hand and brain don't compute a slight lift off the tablet with gathering more color.
    So to put it simply: Is there a way to adjust Photoshop's pen pressure from pen pressure = opacity x stroke to just pen pressure = total opacity?
    Because I would stop buying Painter if Photoshop had this option.
    Thanks in advance for any input!

  • Is there a way to change how files are viewed?

    For example, I'd like to see columns/ rows of album covers rather than a simple list.  Same with movies.  If I can easily do that in iTunes, why not on Apple TV?

    thanks for your answer.  It does seem like Apple TV is an incomplete product.  I thought Airplay could help, but after some research, I'm not even getting the product!
    Oh: is there a way to better organize files on ATV?

  • Is there any way to change user operations on multiple tracks at once?

    I have a complex project (99 tracks, dozens of menus and scripts). I need to make one version of this DVD for the end client (teenagers at health clinics) who will be forced to view it in a specified way, and another version for educators (staff at the clinics) who will be allowed to fast-forward and have access to a menu from which they can jump to different points in the DVD.
    I have different menus to serve as "first play" for these different versions so that I can easily switch between versions when burning disc images, and I have set up GPRMs to make navigation different for the two versions automatically. My problem now is that I want to disable forward scan, next program, root menu, and title menu for the client version. As far as I can tell, I have to do that independently for every single track and menu. Bleah. This is especially annoying since the DVD is still in development, so I am continuing to change small things and will need to keep both versions up to date as I do.
    Is there any way to select multiple tracks/menus and change user operations on all of them? Or any other work-around or script that could do it? I thought this would be a perfect task for the automator, but I'm not very familiar with that application and don't know how (or if it's possible) to create new actions other than the ones that are available.
    Any ideas?
    thanks!
    Julie

    Thanks. But the disc inspector only appears to let me change things like where the title menu button takes you, not detailed user operations. I have pretty much given up on this being anything other than a giant hassle, but if anybody knows whether a script could do this, I would be eternally grateful.

  • Is there a way to change the colors of multiple VI front panels?

    Hi,
    I am currently creating a LabView program controlling a lot of sensors and actuators. I have based the GUI on a tab-control with different buttons which again opens up different VI front panels in a singel sub panel below. I realy want to have a different color theme on my program than the standard gray LabView theme, but I would like to change the colors for all my VIs in a smooth and quick way. I really would not like to click on all controls, indicators etc. to get new colors, as there are a lot of them! Any ideas out there, if this is possible?
    Thanks in advance!
    Lars

    Lars,
    please note that using the grayscale theme is recommended not only by NI. Using color is very delicate thing since you have to consider:
    - readability of text might suffer due to insufficient contrast
    - overuse of (signaling) color might distract the user from important settings/information
    - color-blind user?
    That being said, you can color the frontpanels of the VIs you include in the sub panel dynamically. Please take a look into attached example on how this could be done (LV 2009).
    Please note that this is recoloring the frontpanel background only. If you need other elements to recolor as well, this can be done similar but is more effort....
    hope this helps,
    Norbert

  • Is there a way to change font size in incoming email messages?

    In the Mail preferences I see options for changing fonts and sizes for composing email, but is there a way to control incoming font sizes?
    Some emails for some reason show up in very tiny fonts when they come into my Mail program
    thanks
    nick

    Hello Nick,
    Thank you for the question.  You can update the font settings in the Preferences for Mail.  By going to Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors, you can update the Message list font and the Message font for easier viewing.  The Messages font will only change to the font you select if the sender does not have specific formatting for the text in their email:
    Option
    Description
    Message list font
    The font and font size for viewing the list of messages (in classic layout only). Click Select to use a different font.
    Message font
    The font and font size for writing and viewing messages. Click Select to use a different font.
    If the sender used a specific font for a message, that font is used when viewing the message.
