Is there a way to just reset/rebuild mail in Yosemite?

Hi
As previously posted - I made a change to my spam setting (move spam to spam folder) and since then my mail quits everytime I start it up.  I'm even able to get to the preference for it but it just quits.
The resolutions offered here in communities are complicated.
Is there a way to just RESET mail?  Or even re-install the OS?
Thanks so much everyone!
Brian

You can reset Mail's configuration by doing the following:
If Mail is open, then close it.
Open Terminal.
Enter the following:
mv "${HOME}/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail"{,.$(date +%s)}

    I can see my folders by clicking the X next to my name on the Inbox Folder.  So I have my folders now, just cannot see them in the left colum or see multiple windows on Outlook.  At this point, I can use the folders, just with limited functionality.  Thanks -Gina

  • Is there any way to just make my iMac go back to factory specs?

    is there any way to just make my iMac go back to factory specs after erasing everything and trying to reinstall many times with no luck? not too sure what i did but installer "cant copy necesary files" dont know anything about computers.

    You can also reset the OS without using the install disk.
    I found a youtube tutorial that had a wonderful step by step process for resetting to factory specs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0RQT9UiwkQ
    I did a clean install - I did not have any paperwork or info for the computer because it was given to me after my FIL died.  I used my own apple ID not my FIL's.
    There was no difficulty at any point.
    I set up my Mac next to my PC and ran the tutorial on the PC while I worked on the reset.  Make sure you have all day because it's very time consuming. 
    I am a slightly technical person, but no computer whiz - so don't be afraid to tackle this on your own.
    After I reset to factory default, I upgraded to Mountain Lion for $20.  That was also simple to do.
    I did not back up any files since there wasn't anything on the computer I wanted to keep.  You will have to back up any files you wish to keep because this clean install will be just that - very clean - nothing was left except the OS.

  • Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

    Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
    menu..but not the submenus?
    Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
    the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
    submenu...what can i do to solve this?

    Does the example described at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
    work for you?
    What are you doing that's different from the example?
    When you say you just want to change the text of the main
    menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
    dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
    If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
    want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
    event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
    in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
    update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
    actually tried it.
    Hope that helps!

    You will need to restore your iPod from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't sync then you will need to try recovery mode.

  • I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

    I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

    Playlists on the iPhone are the same as on the iPod. Just connect the iPhone and go to the iPhone Music tab in iTunes. You can check the playlists you want on the iPhone.
    One "trick" is to create a new playlist and just drag all of the music you want on the iPhone to this playlist, then sync only that playlist.
    Another option is to use the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC" on the iphone Summary page in iTunes. This will compress the music and you will lose some quality, but unless you are using $500 headphones you won't notice.
    The manual is in Safari on your phone; its a predefined bookmark. You can also download a PDF:

  • Is there any way I can reset my laptop to the original factory settings?

    Is there any way you can reset your MacBook Air to the original settings you first recieved it in? I've noticed I have way to much junk to go through and try to delete it all and when I try to delete something it does the poof thing it's supposed to, but later I notice it has not been deleted. I've tried restarting my computer, and completely turning it off for 24 hours then seeing it its gone, but it never deletes.

    Use the MacBook Air's thumbdrive, or for those models which shipped with Lion, its recovery partition, to erase the drive and install a new OS.

  • Is there any way to just read the excel worksheet name?

    Hi
    recently i just got this project need to read data from excel file, and after a few days of research i understand u can read and write to excel to  worksheet that the name or postion is known.
    but is there any way to just read the excel worksheet name? As there excel format is not fixed and i need to search and open only the sheets i need.
    I  try change it to string but dun seem to work.
    not sure is this the right way... anyone?

    There is nothing to coerce actually.
    First, create a constant ref for the prop node on the left-most. Then, del its wire & move it to the Variant to Data function & connect to it. Now, rt-click on the ref constant & choose Select ActiveX Class > Browse.. option. Select the Type Library as Microsoft Excel 11.0... & the Object as _Workbook.
    Thats it, it ll automatically fetch you the Excel_Worksheet reference as the data.
