Mail Activity Wheel for each Mailbox no longer in M.Lion

Until Mountain Lion, when Mail (version 6) accessed my mailboxes, each mailbox displayed a grey Activity Wheel. This is not happening in M.Lion. Under the button "Mail Activity" there is a progress bar when an attachment is being downloaded, and a message sound is heard even when no new messages are detected, but I miss the confirmation that each mailbox has been accessed and I can't find anywhere to set this.
Can it be done please?

I think the nearest thing we've got now is the Mail Activitiy window which is hiiden away bottom left:

Query to count ACTIVE records for each month

All,
I have a requirement to count the number of active customers for each month of an year. Let's say, we have 3 fields in the table:
ID               ActiveStart             ActiveEnd
1                 1/1/2014               11/30/2014
In this scenario, the member with ID was active for all the months (Jan-November) EXCEPT, December. So, the result set I am expecting for the Month of January to December is like below:
Month       CountOfMembers
Jan            1
Feb           1
Mar           1
April          1
May           1
June          1
July           1
August      1
Sept          1
Oct            1
Nov           1
Dec           0 (Since, the member was NOT active in this month)
Similarly, if you have another member whose start date is 1/1/2014 and termination is '5/31/2014', then, I would need to add 1 for months of January till May, the member WON'T be counted for the rest of the months. So, in this case, the count will be come
"2" for months January till May, it will remain "1" for June till November and still "O" for December.

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI-ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need to
know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI-ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:
https:--www.simple-talk.com-books-sql-books-119-sql-code-smells-
There is no magical universal “id” in RDBMS, tables have names and columns have constraints and types. Most of the work in SQL is done in the DDL. Here is a possible schema.
CREATE TABLE Duty_Roster
(member_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
duty_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
duty_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CHECK (duty_start_date <= duty_end_date),
INSERT INTO Duty_Roster
VALUES
(1, '2014-01-01', '2014-11-30'),
(2, '2014-01-01', '2014-05-31');
>> In this scenario, the member with ID was active for all the months (Jan-November) EXCEPT, December. So, the result set I am expecting for the Month of January to December is like below: <<
A month is a temporal measurement that makes no sense without a year. But if you knew the ISO temporal model, you would see that you have what is called an INTERVAL data type. T-SQL does not support it yet.
Since SQL is a database language, we prefer to do look ups and not calculations. They can be optimized while temporal math messes up optimization. A useful idiom is a report period calendar that everyone uses so there is no way to get disagreements in the DML.
The report period table gives a name to a range of dates that is common to the entire enterprise.
CREATE TABLE Month_Periods
(month_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (month_name LIKE '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00'),
month_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
month_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT date_ordering
CHECK (month_start_date <= month_end_date),
etc);
These report periods can overlap or have gaps. I like the MySQL convention of using double zeroes for months and years, That is 'yyyy-mm-00' for a month within a year and 'yyyy-00-00' for the whole year. The advantages are that it will sort with the ISO-8601
data format required by Standard SQL and it is language independent. The pattern for validation is '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-00-00' and '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00'
SELECT M.month_name, COUNT(R.member_nbr) AS member_cnt
FROM Month_Periods AS M,
Duty_Roster AS R
WHERE M.month_start_date
BETWEEN R.duty_start_date AND R.duty_end_date
AND M.month_end_date
BETWEEN R.duty_start_date AND R.duty_end_date;
We had no business rules about partial months, so I guessed.

Terminal command to reactivate mail activity wheel

Does anyone know a terminal command that allows you to view once again the activity wheel(s) next to the inbox/accounts, when checking mail? The mail activity indicator window on the bottom left is not really enough, and often shows no activity for few/small emails.
IMHO, it's unfortunate Mail shows you very little about its activity (without having to open the separate activity window).

They were there in Lion (you didn't need to enable them). They've been removed in Mountain Lion.
You're already aware of the two possibilities for monitoring activity on Mail: keeping the Activity window open in the background, or watching the monitor at the bottom of the Mail window. Neither is the same as the wheels, but that's all there is now.

Different pictures for each mailbox

Hey there. I have several e-mail accounts and I'd like to use a different outgoing picture for each account. Anybody know how to do that?
I have one, but I don't want to use that one for all mail boxes.
Thanks!

This photo is your "Me" picture for your contact information in the Address Book. This is no different than selecting a photo for a contact in your Address Book. When receiving a message with the Mail application from a contact with a photo you chose for that contact in the Address Book, your chosen photo for that contact will appear in the message header regardless if the sender is also a Mail.app user and has chosen their own photo for their contact information in their Address Book.
If a recipient of your messages is also a Mail.app user and has chosen a photo for your contact information in their Address Book, their chosen photo for you will appear in the message header when receiving a message from you, not your chosen photo.
If the recipient is a Windows Outlook or Outlook Express user, your chosen photo does not appear either since it isn't sent with your messages.

Creating individual mail folders for each mailbox

I have switched to mac from pc and cant figure out how to make individual folders within my 2 email accounts. With Outlook I had 2 email accounts and lots of individual folders within those accounts to help seperate my different emails. With mac I cant figure out how. I tried smart mailboxes but it wont let me put emails from 2 different senders into 1 smart mailbox. Also, how can I transfer my old emails from my pc to my mac.
Thanks for the help!

In Apple Mail, accounts are sometimes referred to as Locations. Folders are called Mailboxes. If you have multiple accounts configured and you create a mailbox it will ask you which location it belongs to. That's how you create a folder within an account.
Smart mailboxes are not real mailboxes, but are automatic searches. They don't belong to any one account.
Transferring mail depends on the other application you were using. Mail's Import Mailboxes feature will help you through the process. It does not support importing from Outlook though.

Gmail doesn't receive any new mail; mail activity wheel keeps spinning

Hi all,
I have never had real problems with OSX Mail but since 2 days my Imap gmail account doesn't receive any mails anymore. I already checked the account info several times and they are all ok. Also the connection doctor doesn't detect any problem with either my internet connection or the mail servers I am using. When I use safari to check my mail online, there is no problem. Also, when I use Thunderbird to check the same account (with the same account info) it just works (but I hate Thunderbird!). I use 4 mail accounts, with 2 imap accounts and only the gmail is not working properly. I'm on mail 4.2 and OSX 10.6.2.
I already completely deleted the gmail account and reinstalled it, but the same problem keeps showing up. I also deleted the com.apple.mail.plst and the imap folder in the mail directory but still, after again setting up all my accounts, the gmail account keeps showing the 'fetching new mail' wheel.
I browsed this forum for a solution and found a lot of issues much alike, but not completely the same. Anyway, I hope you have a solution!
Best regards,
Jay

I've had similar problems that started about a week about after a system upgrade. I too have tried re-registering/re-indexing mail (by pulling the mail folders out to the desktop). I've run disk utility. I did the permissions first & corrected those, then I did the verify drive (couldn't select repair yet). The drive verification identified several errors & directed I restart on OS X DVD - which I did (after it reinstalled OS X). Then I ran validate drive & it didn't find any issues. However, my mail continues to bog down and give me the spinning wheel. In the past week I have to force quit mail at least 4-5 times a day. The system is only 2 months old & I only have one POP and one IMAP email linked to it. It appears that the IMAP (gmail) is the one causing the problems. I've triple checked the settings (which hadn't changed when the problems started).
I've spent several hours the past week researching all I can in the forums. It appears that this is a common problem with no real solutions.
As a new Mac owner, I'm not impressed so far. I haven't give up hope and it is also possible that it could be due to an unknown error on my part as a novice Mac user. Just the same, though, previous PCs at least lasted more than 2 months.
Like Jay, I hope someone has a solution. Thanks.

Speeding up the Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet for ~19K mailboxes.

Greetings,
While this is partially a PowerShell scripting question, I am posting it in the Exchange 2010 forum because the issues I believe center around the Get-MailboxStatistics itself, and the speed of my scripts in Exchange 2010 (possibly
due to the additional overhead in remote PowerShelling).
In my Exchange 2010 system we have ~19,000 mailboxes spread accross multiple DAG nodes, and ever since we upgraded from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, gathering all of the mailboxes and then gathering their statistics takes almost
twice as long. For example a script that used to take ~45 minutes in Exchange 2007, takes about an hour and a ½.
The issue I am running into when clocking core aspects of a mailbox data gathering scripts is that the Get-MailboxStatistics seems to be taking an excessively long period of time, and I am hoping someone can help me figure out a
way to speed up the process.
For example this is a boiled down script I created, where I ripped out a ton of other things and just focused on the Get-Mailbox and Get-MailboxStatistics commands:
$BaseOU
=
"Customers"
# Capture the date and time in a variable using the "Fri 11/01/2010 6:00 AM" format.
$DateTime
=
Get-Date
-Format
"ddd MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt"
# Select a single domain controller to use for all the queries (to avoid mid AD replication inconsistencies)
from the environment variable LOGONSERVER - this ensures the variable will always be dynamically updated.
$DomainController
= ($Env:LogonServer).Substring(2)
# Set the loop count to 0 so it can be used to track the percentage of completion.
$LoopCount
= 0
# Start tracking the time this script takes to run.
$StopWatch1
=
New-Object
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
$StopWatch1.Start()
# Get the mailbox info for all IHS customer mailboxes.the storage limit is Prohibit send or mailbox disabled
Write-Host
-ForegroundColor
Green
"Beginning mailbox gathering. In a short while a progress bar will appear."
$GatheredMailboxes
=
Get-Mailbox
-ResultSize:Unlimited
-OrganizationalUnit
"ADDomain.com/$BaseOU"
-DomainController
$DomainController |
Select Identity,DisplayName,ProhibitSendQuota
Write-Host
-ForegroundColor
Green
"Mailbox data gathering is complete."
$StopWatch1.Stop()
$StopWatch2
=
New-Object
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
$StopWatch2.Start()
Foreach ($Mailbox
in
$GatheredMailboxes) {
# Show a status bar for progress while the mailbox data is collected.
$PercentComplete
= [Math]::Round(($LoopCount++
$GatheredMailboxes.Count
* 100),1)
$CurrentMBDisplay
=
$Mailbox.DisplayName
Write-Progress
-Activity
"Mailbox Data Gathering in Progress"
-PercentComplete
$PercentComplete

"Current Mailbox: $CurrentMBDisplay"
#Get the mailbox statistics for each mailbox gathered above.
$MailboxStats
=
Get-MailboxStatistics
$Mailbox.Identity |
Select StorageLimitStatus,TotalItemSize
# Proceed only if the the mailbox statistics show the storage limit is Prohibit Send or Mailbox Disabled.
# Write-Host "Stats for"$Mailbox.DisplayName"are Limit ="$MailboxStats.StorageLimitStatus"and Size ="$MailboxStats.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()"MB."
# Calculate the amount of time the script took to run and write the information to the screen.
$StopWatch2.Stop()
$ElapsedTime
=
$StopWatch1.Elapsed
Write-Host
"he mailbox gathering took"
$ElapsedTime.Hours
"hours,"
$ElapsedTime.Minutes
"minutes, and"

$StopWatch2.Elapsed
Write-Host
"The foreach loop took"
$ElapsedTime.Hours
"hours,"
$ElapsedTime.Minutes
"minutes, and"
$ElapsedTime.Seconds
`
"seconds to run."
Using the two stop clocks, I was able to see that the Get-Mailbox of all mailboxes took ~9 minutes. That isn’t lightning fast, but it isn’t unreasonable.
The issue comes in where the Foreach loop with the Get-MailboxStatistics took ~53 minutes, and I am sure some of the mailbox data was cached on the servers from my various tests so it would probably take even longer with a cold
run.
I did some digging around and I really couldn’t find anything on how to speed up the Get-MailboxStatistics, and the only thing I found was this link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverpowershell/thread/9ceefddd-7a59-44ec-8fc0-8de244acb58b
However I am not clear on how moving the Get-MailboxStatistics into the Get-Mailbox syntax (which is odd to me in general) would speed things up if I still have to have a foreach loop to process the data a little bit and add the
users to a datatable. That discussion also made think the foreach loop itself is slowing things down but unclear as to how/why if that is true.
Can someone help share some ideas on how to speed up this process? I think there are some other things I could try but I can’t think of them.
Thank you in advance.

I think it's impossible to speed up the Get-MailboxStatistics when it is being called for each and every mailbox individually.
I read somewhere in other posts people were having better performance by calling the cmdlet against an entire database or server so I gave it a shot with this code:
$DAGS = "EXCHDAG1"
# Start tracking the time this script takes to run.
$StopWatch = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
$StopWatch.Start()
$MailboxStatistics = New-Object System.Data.DataTable “MailboxStatistics”
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("TotalitemSize",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("ItemCount",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("LastLogonTime",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("LastLogoffTime",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("MailboxGUID",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.PrimaryKey = $MailboxStatistics.Columns["MailboxGUID"]
ForEach ($DAGServer in (Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup $DAGS).Servers) {
ForEach ($MailboxStats in (Get-MailboxStatistics -Server $DAGServer.Name | Where {$_.DisconnectDate -eq $Null})) {
$NewMBXStatsDTRow = $MailboxStatistics.NewRow()
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.TotalitemSize = $MailboxStats.TotalItemSize
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.ItemCount = $MailboxStats.ItemCount
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.LastLogonTime = $MailboxStats.LastLogonTime
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.LastLogoffTime = $MailboxStats.LastLogoffTime
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.MailboxGUID = $MailboxStats.MailboxGuid.ToString()
$MailboxStatistics.Rows.Add($NewMBXStatsDTRow)
$StopWatch.Stop()
$ElapsedTime = $StopWatch.Elapsed
Write-Host "The script took" $ElapsedTime.Hours "hours," $ElapsedTime.Minutes "minutes, and" $ElapsedTime.Seconds `
"seconds to run."
Here are the results in speed:
The script took 0 hours, 3 minutes, and 13 seconds to run.
So yeah... ~3 minutes versus ~1 hour, I would say that's an improvement.
Now I will go back to my script and as I process each mailbox I will pull it's statistics information out of the DataTable using its GUID with:
If ($MailboxStats = $MailboxStatistics.Rows.Find($Mailbox.MailboxGUID)) {
# Insert mailbox statistics processing here using the $MailboxStats variable with "." extensions.
} Else {
# Mailbox statistics weren't found so go grab them individually as a backup mechanism for scenarios when a user's mailbox got moved out of the DAG to a non-DAG database for whatever reason.
It's a little silly that I have to extract the information out of each DAG server and put it in an in-memory table just to speed this process up, but clearly there is overhead with the Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet and grabbing more mailboxes at once helps
negate this issue.
I'm going to mark my own response as an answer because I don't think anyone else is going to come up with something better than what I put together.

Can't customize columns for individual mailbox?

Hi,
This may be a silly question, but I'm new to mac.
I imported my old inbox and sent folder from Outlook Express on PC to Mail in one batch. So Mail created two mailboxes for "Inbox" and "Sent" under account (or folder) named "Imported". But I can't figure out how to customize the displayed columns for each mailbox individually. For example, I want to display "From/Subject/Date Received" for "Inbox", but "To/Subject/Date Sent" for "Sent". But it just won't allow me do that. Both mailboxes can only have the same column selections. It is just so annoying.
Is it possible to have different columns, or it is just the way Mail should work?
Thank you.

Truly awesome, thank you! (Just curious if you know of any tricks to making it louder than the 200% slider allows?)

How cna I deactivate multiple CS products and get new activation keys for them?

I need to know how to deactivate all active installs of a given CS product and serial #, then get new activation keys for the same product. I realize this is a question only an Adobe rep can answer, but online chat is closed and the phone support line is completely useless, so I have to ask here.
-- Jon W.

you'll need to contact adobe support to reset your activation count for each product if you are unable to do that yourself, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html
you will not get or need a new activation key. your original one will still work for cs3 and later.

I suddenly can't send or fetch .mac messages through mail - spinning wheel

Hi all, first post!
I can't seem to receive any mail from my .mac (mobileme) account through my mail app. other (pop) accounts seem fine and i can access mobile me online. It's giving me a constant fetching mail spinning wheel, for 4 days now. won't show me any account info when i ctrl click either. any ideas would be gratefully received

exact same issue here. I live in Adelaide, South Australia. My iPad, iPhone an Mac all won't send but will receive emails happily. Sending via Bigpond works fine so I am certain that the apple server itself is the problem.
Am waiting patiently for Apple to get it up and running again.
Despite this I can send emails for iCloud on the webpage.

Overhead for each Work center

Hi all,
Presently we are calaculating the overhead for the total operations in the service order.Now the requirement is client want to have overhead for each workcenter user in the service order.
Lets say,there are 3 workcenters were used in the service order with 3 operations.Now instead of single overhead,they want three overhead in the order.I know this is not the right place to post this and I just thought some one could experianced this scenario in their projects.If so pl share with me.
Regards
Sureshbabu Arunachalam

hi
you can do this provided you have customized the costing sheet as per the requirement .Create separate Activity type for each work center with different cost element .
while creating the costing sheet create separate base row for the respective cost element and then fix the overhead percentage
Also kindly consult your CO person on this

On top of this my recovered files keep appearing and so do deleted drafts.
help please

I can almost guarantee that your Mail isn't configured correctly. Sometimes, changes in the ISP can cause your Mail to go haywire; other times, a system update may do it.
In my experience, the most efficient way to taking care of this is:
1. Print out your settings for each of your accounts. While the info may not be 100% accurate, it's information you should have.
2. Open Mail, and then Mail Preferences/Accounts.
3. Highlight an account (if it isn't already), and use the minus ( - ) sign to delete it. Do the same for the other accounts. Now, there aren't any Mail accounts listed.
4. In the part of the screen where you used the minus, use the plus ( + ) to add your first account. You'll be guided by the software to enter the correct information. Do the same with your other accounts, if any.
This gets rid of the deleted drafts, and allows you to access Mail again.
Post if you have any questions.
