Mac OS, 4 people using Thunderbird at work, we have a common email "contact", when I move emails received on this address it moves them for everyone not just me

We are a small company and we use Mac computers.
We installed Thunderbird, and we have a problem with a shared email address "contact@":
When I sort through the emails reveived in contact, it automatically removes them from my colleagues Inboxes on their computer.
We have no problem with our personnal email addresses and are extremely happy with Thunderbird.
What can we do to avoid Thunderbird from synchronising with the other computers in the office and wiping out the emails in this common email box?
Thank you for your help

You may be able to resolve the issue by adjusting:
Specify when messages are automatically marked as "read"
Menu location: Thunderbird | Preferences | Advanced | Reading & Display
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-viewing-messages
There is an outdated article at:
http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/et_mark_read.htm
that may provide helpful background, although the menus have changed so the options probably have too.

All of a sudden my email asks a password. I use Thunderbird at work and I have not set this password. The person who did left. How do I login now?

I really don't know computers.
I have been working here now for three months and it is just me who works here so I can't ask anyone.
It was working fine until all of a sudden when i press get mail i get:
please enter a password for user ...... on server ...... .
I have not set the pasword and I can't get in contact with the person who did.
Is there any chance of deleting it? Go passed it? I work at a hostel and we make all our bookings via email. I really need this to work!

You administer your email password with your email provider. You need to work with them to reset a forgotten password.
Go to their web mail or email help site and look for a link to reset your password.

My husband bought an iPad 2. I have a Mac. ITunes is in my name but I have turned sharing on. When we updated to OS5 we lost all the free apps that he downloaded in his user name. Is there no way to update using my iTunes without losing his software.

My husband bought an iPad 2. I have a Mac. ITunes is in my name but I have turned sharing on. When we updated to OS5 we lost all the free apps that he downloaded in his user name. Is there no way to update using my iTunes without losing his software. He is frustrated using the iPad because he never knows whether to use his user name or my user name.

Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Download the app My Contacts Backup. Use this to backup the contacts on your phone as they are now as a vCard attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself and with the subject line "Original Contacts". Confirm that you have the email and that the backup file is attached. This is a precautionary backup and should not be needed. DONE
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. DONE
Use the My Contacts Backup app a second time to back up the contacts on your phone and send this email to yourself again. This time use the subject line "Yahoo contacts". Confirm that you have this second email and that the backup file is attached. DONE
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud. in contacts section, I have following options: Sort as, show as, my data and default account: in this option are: IBM Lotus notes (already checked) and Yahoo.

i have creat new apple id when i sign in 1st time this will say this apple id has not yet been used in itunes store? please help

I changed my dads password, then went back to sync my apps and when it came to the Authorization, I entered his account name and the new password (which was by the way accepted and changed correctly) to have it come up on the screen as the incorrect password...REALLY!!! I went back and changed the password again...guess what? Same result "inncorect password".
As I mentioned my dad PASSED AWAY, there is no way I can ask him what his password originally was, i can't accesses his email account as it no longer exists.
What am I supposed to do, this is very frustrating.
If I use my new account that's in my name, the Authorization screen just keeps asking for my Dads account.

Does any one know how to get smileys for Facebook on the mac,, i see people using them all the time and don't know how to do it,,,

I know this is a bit of a strange question, but i have seen people using the smileys on face book, but every time i try to get them they dont work, i was just wondering if any one knew how, i thought i would put it on here as i have got a lot of helpful tips on here for alot of problems and you guys know what you are talking about,,,

not 100% sure what you mean
smileys are a sequence of chars like ;-¶ which the internet site or program like a chat program replace with an image typically a small gif image
is your problem that you want to save those images to your harddisk?
is your problem that you wish some other program then facebook to replace the smiley chars with the images that facebook use?
is your problem that when you type on facebook your smileys are not replaced with the same images as others (in which case you should prob as which signs they type)

If two people use one computer, but we have separte itunes accounts, Apple ID, and icloud will my apps I get be stored in their account too since we are using the same computer?

If two people share the same computer, but have separate itunes account, Apple ID, and icloud and one of them downloads an app will it also go into the other persons account since y'all use the same computer

If you have separate user accounts on the computer, then your downloaded apps are stored in your iTunes Library. See the following for dealing with having multiple users on the same computer: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer.
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

I am using a Macbook Air mid 2012 and an apple application "Mail". With only one email account (Yahoo), everything works perfectly. But the problem started when I added GMAIL account. Now it keeps on asking for my password for gmail and keychain.

With only Yahoo account in my Macbook Air "Mail", everything works perfectly. Problem started when I added my Gmail account. It keeps on asking my account and keychain passwords. And all my accounts always works offline.

It sounds like you may need to go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts and Complete setting up you Gmail account. It may not be finished being setup. For instance, note the line below to be selected from the drop down list in "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP", then "Edit SMTP Server List":
Hope this helps

I use HP ProtectTools Security Manager to control my passwords. When i updated to Firefox 30. I received the following error message ; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program. How can I solve this problem ?

Hi le.hamzou,
Previous suggestions were to update the Security Manager if there was one. There were also these add ons:
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fingerfox-se/ Fingerfox], but I am not sure if it will work on win8, it does on win7.
Another work around I saw was [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=ietab&appver=29.0&platform=all IE Tab].

I received the following error when attempting to use HP SimplePass Identity Protection to manage my passwords; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program. How can I correct this?

I use HP SimplePass Identity Protection to control my passwords. Everything was fine until I updated to Firefox 4. Can I remove version 4 or is there a solution to my problem. I received the following error message; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program.

You'll have to downgrade to the previous secure version I regret to say. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary.

Oh and to add, when I downloaded the skype app onto my dad's air...I got a notification to my personal yahoo mail, it says:
Dear My Dad's Name ----------- weird because it's my email address
Your Apple ID, *my dad's apple id* was just used to download Skype for iPad from the App Store on a computer or device that had previously been associated with that Apple ID.
I'm guessing his apple ID is linked to my email address...however, when we checked his personal gmail account, he got the same email..
