Is there any way to copy Mail preferences and settings

While trying to defrag my HDD using Drive Genius it corrupted some file and rendered my HDD useless and was forced to install a new HDD. The problem that I have right now is wetting up my mail account (fortunately) I have a month old backup, can any body tell what files I need to copy from my backup to be able to have my mail work for me.

if u r goin to format ur hdd u hav 2 backup 2 things......
one is ur mail folder(user/library/mail) and com.apple.mail.plist(user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist)
make a copy of these files and then no worries - all ur mails and mail settings will be safe. after formatting u dont have to reconfigure ur mail, just copy and paste mail.plist to preferences folder (replace it) and if all mails are not showing up import ur mail folder.
saving network plist wont help......

  • I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!

    I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!  I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs.  Hope someone can help.  Thanks!

    I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
    I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>.  It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

  • Is there any way to make Mail open next message?

    Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
    I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
    I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
    Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
    By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
    Thanks for any help

    Down-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

  • Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread. Is there any way of changing this preference to listing new message at top of the thread?

    Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread.
    Is there any way of changing this preference so that new messages are displayed at the top of the thread.
    This is is more logical. You need to see new message in thread directly, rather than scanning to end of thread to see what is there.

    No it is not possible. The newest message is attached to the message it is in reply to.

  • Is there any way to copy proxy filed structures to ABAP field structure?

    Hi All,
    We are getting message from  XI using inbound proxy and sending response asynchronously by outbound proxy.
    my question: " is there any way to copy or to move incoming proxy fields to ABAP backend fields?"
    for ex: we are getting Name structure from proxy wit fields firstname and lastname.
    and proxy will generate some structures for name. backend ABAP system will have structure name with two fields having fname and lname as data elements.
    so how can we directly move proxy fields to ABAP fields? ( here in example there are only two fields but real scenario we will have thousands of fields for which we cannot map manually from proxy fields to ABAP fields.)
    please help me in this regard.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ujwalkumar

    Hi Ujwalkumar,
    if you have control over the proxy:
    Create your interface at XI like the structure in backend system. Same structure and same fieldnames. If you regenerate your proxy you can use abap order "MOVE CORRESPONDING" to map all fields.
    Regards,
    Udo

  • Is there any way to synch mail on two Macs so it doesn't have to be read twice?

    Is there any way to process mail once instead of having to go through it again on each device? If you read or delete a message is there any way to have this synched on other devices?

    Use ones that do :-)
    Any service that does not provide IMAP, in my opinion, is not a service you want.
    I suppose the alternative is to use webmail.  Yuk.

  • Is there any way to make Mail forget previous search terms?

    When I search for a mail starting with say, the letters 'and' it finds every email to, from or whatever associated with those three letters. However, it includes, in the cases of to or from, old email addresses that are no longer in 'Contacts' and or have bad memories for me. Is there any way to make 'Mail' forget those email addresses completely?
    This is not or does not seem to be the same as removing an email address from the previous recipient list.
    Thanks.

    Hmm. This removes the recipient only in such a way that when I type the first 3 letters of an address in a new email, that particular recipient does not appear.
    However, if the same first three letters of the addressee's name are typed in the Mail search function, the previous recipient's email address is still offered as an option. So I am afraid this does not help.
    Removing a previous recipient's email address is apparently not the same as making the Mail application forget a particular email address.

  • Is there any way to copy S.Variables via Maxl or Essbase

    Guyz,
    Is there any way to copy S.Variables from one App to another app via Maxl or Essbase.
    Cheers
    Cnee

    you can copy substitution variables between different Essbase servers through Admin console.
    At first you should be able to add both the essbase servers in the admin console.
    Then you can copy the subst variables from one essbase server to other.
    in subst variable window -> select copy -> select server, app, db -> select subst variable to be copied -> you can tick overwrite existing variables option if needed -> click OK.
    the other way is to collect the subst variable information through maxl & then write maxl scripts to create the subst variables on the other server.

  • Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Hi neffn!
    I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Note that, as it says in those articles:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

    iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

    leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
    you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
    also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
    also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
    good luck

    Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    I am recieving my brothers messages on my MacBook, we share an itunes account and an icloud account is there any way to stop his messages and add my own?

    Don't share the same ID for iMessage (you can still share the same ID for other things if you want).  On your iOS device, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then on your Mac, open the Messages app and go to Messages>Preferences>General, select your iMessage account, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

    Drag them to your iTunes library.  Download the free iBooks app.  Select the PDFs you want too sync in the iTunes books pane.  The iBooks app will show your books collection or your PDFs collection as you select.

  • I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund?

    I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund? obvisoulsy after unintalling it. I couldn't see any reason why it would be bad for my particular macbook, and it downloaded without a problem.

    In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
    If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software.
