Mail does not retain correct external server path for Exchange Server '07 even when "automatically detect and maintain account settings" is unchecked. Advice?

Mail keeps resetting the external server path for an Exchange server '07 account when the program is closed and reopened. This happens even though "automatically detect and maintain account settings" is unchecked. To reset to the correct setting I need to disable the account, make the change and save with the account disabled, close Mail, reopen Mail, and enable the account. Then the settings are maintained and Mail works great... until Mail is closed and reopened again. At that point the server path reverts to an incorrect setting. Anyone else experiencing this? Advice? I don't think this is a problem with the Exchange server because this problem did not happen with OS X Mavericks.

This this to fix repeated password requests....
Open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities
Search for your Dreamhost accounts. There should be two entries (incoming, outgoing) for each account.
It's not uncommon to find old entries. You might want to delete all and start clean.The Keychain isn't smart and will keep all old entries when you add/change a password.
While you are in the Keychain run Keychain First Aid, Under Keychain Access in the Menu bar.
Open Mail
Open Connection Doctor.
If you see red for the account, enter the password again.
If you continue to have problems, delete the account then add it back.

Mail does not use correct outgoing server

Problem
Mail in Mavericks (and also IOS6 snf 7) does not use the outgoing smtp server associated with the account being used. This results in either a failure to send or mail being put into the wrong "Sent" folder.
Background
I have most of my non-icloud mail pulled down to a home server from which my laptops and ios devices access various accounts using imap. The local home server also provides smtp and relays all mail to my ISP. Recently I have been switching from an old home server (Mac Mini) to a new one (Raspberry pi running the debian Raspbian version with fetchmail, Dovecot and postfix setup).
While making the changeover I had access to both the old server and the new server enabled on my laptop. Naturally the majority of the settings (Name, email address etc) were the same although the name and address of the server to be used for both incoming and outgoing mail were different. This seemed tp work fine for incoming. However when I tested outgoing mail the copy that should appear in the "sentt" box went missing. This usually indicates some mistake in the setting of the sent mail folder on the accounts but this all checked out.
I eventually found the missing outgoing mail intended to go through the new server in the sent box on the old server. Further trials showed that no matter what I did the outgoing would always default to the old (and therefore first set up) outgoing server.
Deleting the old account and the old outgoing server of course should cure the problem and will eventually be the solution for me when I kill the old server. But i wanted to get to the bottom of the problem in case it reappeared in other contexts. Checking the "use only this server" box produced failure to send rather than the correct result.
Trialing various alterntaive settings showed that the problem occurs when there are two outgoing servers with the email address in the settings and the user name on the outgoing server name being the same. I had assumed that changing the description field would distinguish between the various settings; however this did not work. Changing the Name Field did work eg by putting (O) after my name.
It appears therefore that mail selects the outgoing server on the basis of email address (with the full name included) and user name (trrespective of the actual server or the Description that shows in the smtp server listing. In some ways this is logical but it produces problems in the context I have described and would also be a difficulty if you wanted to use an alternative server when in a different location.
I have trawled support and elsewhere for any thing similar. Lots of mail problems (don't get me started on the way icloud loses outgoing each time you edit the list!) but I have not found any posts on precisiely this point.
IOS devices seem to have similar problems, but a quick attempt at a similar solution does not work, and I cannot be bothered to test the options. I will simply clean them out and put in the new accounts.
Advice
Grateful for any comments or advice from people who have encountered similar problems and whether my diagnosis if correct. Have I missed any obvious corrections that would clear this up. I do not know whether this is a Mavericks issue or also appears in earlier OSX versions.

Peter,
Where ever the Sent and Trash folders show in the Sidebar, highlight first one, and then the other, followed by clicking on Mailbox in the Menubar, and choosing Use This Mailbox For, and choose the function.
Keep us posted on your progress.

FTP does not publish correctly to directory/path of \ (i.e. no folder name)

I have never been able to get the iWeb FTP publish to work correctly, so I will try once again.
I use www.easycgi.com for hosing, the the directory/path for www.mydomain.com is / (i.e. there is not a folder name). I can verify this via Cyberduck and have confirmed it with their tect support (i.e. no folder name, just \).
If you use / for the directory/pathin in iWeb, iWeb test connection button works fine (meaning it finds that folder) and publish works fine, but the pages are published to a newly created FTP folder called www.mydomian.com on the FTP server, so to access the pages the URL in a browser is www.mydomain.com/www.mydomain.com/index...the 2nd www.mydomain.com being the folder.
If you enter a directory/path of \, iweb seems to make the folder the site name (also entered in iWeb).
As a work around, you can publish using iWeb, then in cyberduck cut and paste everything from FTP folder www.mydomain.com to FTP folder \ and it works fine...just a hassle.
Any ideas?
thanks
bob

The extra folder is given the name which you gave your site inside iWeb. Instead of using your url for your site name, call it Site or S or whatever.
Complete iWeb sites always have the sitefolder name in the url that appears in the browser address bar. If you want to eliminate that, you can publish to your local drive and use another ftp app to upload just the contents of the sitename folder. Or you can try forwarding www.myname.com to www.myname.com/sitename. Or you can try naming your site the same as the default folder on your server (e.g. public_html, if that is what your server uses). Or try putting just http:// in the url field.
If you eliminate the sitename folder, any RSS Subscribe buttons normally will not function. Some users have gotten RSS to work by putting just http:// in the url field.

Thunderbird does not accept correct imap server setting.

Hello,
I need to set my mail.com account but Thunderbird sets email.com because my email is [email protected] but the server is imap.mail.com and I can NOT set it without Thunderbird blocking me with it´s retarded autoconfig which appearently DOES NOT WORK.
It should be possible to disable a malfunctioning autoconfig and let the user decide to put in settings if it fails to connect instead of blaming a wrong password because it sets the wrong server setting automatically!
How do I disable this forceful autoconfig?
Please fix this or tell me a workaround for that bug,
thx,
fred

I just figured it out.
In the config it said [imap] (like a button) .email.com. Same with smtp. I thought that I dont have to write imap before that .email.com because it was written left of it (had that in some other configs like that already who worked like that) and just tried to change the .email.com into .mail.com and that caused the error message.
So basicly I just had to fill in imap and smtp infront and then it worked.
Kinda weird... 99 % of those servers start with imap so why does Thunderbird just put .emailserver.com instead of imap.emailserver.com... Well anyways thats what mislead me.
Now it says email.com doesnt accept encrypted passwords even though it works on phone and tab with encrypted passwords... well thats not a mozilla thing, I guess.
thx anyways

Mail does not show images anymore server stopped responding on my iPad 2 when attempting to browse web

Over the last couple of days my ipad 2 has started to play up. First the mail would not show images in mail then when trying to browse the web it now will not open any pages. I have attempted a wipe & reload but still no difference.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

SANE does not allow c++ external backend ( epkowa for epson V200)

Some Epson scanners ( Perfection V100, V200, etcc ) need an external library and the corresponding firmware from epson site ( package iscan and iscan-plugin ).
On gentoo, debian based and rpm based distrib, sane is compiled to allow such things
Stock sane from sane.org and arch does not seem to link with the c++ backend epkowa provided by epson
xsane work fine but scanimage -L not ( scanimage is necessary for scripting )
To use an epson external firmware based scanner , one have to compile sane by hand
and modify frontend/Makefile
LINK = $(CC) [...] need to be replaced by LINK = g++ [ ... ]
Lost several hours to figure out where was the prb, cause the epkowa sane backend used to work out of the box on other distrib

I "SOLVED"
I replaced the original "epson", "epson2" and "epkowa" drivers with the drivers installed on a notebook with Fedora16 (and sane 1.0.23), and now epkowa profile works good with all resolutions!
You can download Fedora16 epson drivers here.

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

The URL does not change to the pages i'm clicking to anymore, even when i've moved to a new tab. how do i change this back?

if i type in one url, it just displays that url no matter what page or tab i have moved on on. the 'back' button is also greyed out and doesn't work. i'm using windows vista. this problem started a few days ago.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Mail does not work

I have had this problem for few days now, the mail does not work.
It starts to run, but the colorful circle starts to spin and nothing else happens... I can not go to the preferences or anywhere else and it does not open my account. Only thing that I can do is force quit. I have tried everything I know; repaired permissions, run the cd to check the disk...
Does anyone know what I should do? This is the first time I have this kind of problem...

How many email accounts do you have setup, or are you still trying to get it to open so you can setup accounts? And you are still using 10.4.11 as it says in your profile, right?
If you've already repaired permissions and the disk, quit Mail and go to Users/username/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file, but +*don't delete the Trash*+. Then launch Mail and if it gets that far, let it import your mail messages, which shouldn't take too long. If that solves your problem, then you can empty the Trash.

After reopening Firefox does not remember which desktop was used for each window. Can you help, please.

I'm using two displays and several desktops on my Mac (OS X 10.9.4).
When I need to restart Firefox, it remembers to open windows from last session in correct display, but does not remember which desktop was used for each window. So when the application starts, it opens all windows on a desktop which is currently active instead of reopening them on desktops used during the last session. How to fix the issue?

Hi Nerva,
Thank you for your question, there is a add on I have been recommended to custom set up of opening windows in new monitors. It's called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master].
However, in regards to the session remembering which monitor the window was open in, in the profile folder there is a file that stores window positions and dimensions. It is called localstore.rdf.
Please stay tuned for more investigation, as there are definitely bugs on file for similar issues. Pinpointing it is the hard part.

Server failed to start: The domain path does not match the running server

Hi,
I've configured Eclipse to run my local weblogic - which actually is working fine.
The server starts as intended and reaches state RUNNING.
As soon as this happens, OEPE tries to validate the server and compares the identified server's configuration to the expected configuration.
This finally results into the error message shown in the subject -- though server is still running.
!MESSAGE Server watcher[Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 PatchSet 1 at localhost]:The domain path does not match the running server.
Domain RootDirectory retrieved from the MBean of running server is: N:\Oracle\MIDDLE~1\USER_P~1\domains\MYWEBL~1\
Domain RootDirectory of this server: N:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\myWeblogicServer
Obviously this seems to be an issue with the length of the directory and file names. The domain's configuration and all its start scripts do not have any 8+3 pathes, like USER_P~1 for user_projects. Nevertheless the MBean of the server returns such a "truncated" path which in turn is invalid for OEPE.
Fix: When setting up the domain in Eclipse, try using that 8+3 representation of the domain's location. Then the comparison will succeed...
My Question: Where do we need to ask for a fix in OEPE? The 8+3 path is still a valid one ...
Best Regards
Philipp

I haven't been able to reproduce this and 8+3 representation of the domain's location shouldn't be required.
Can you provide more information:
- is this a network drive?
- what is your OS: XP, Vista, Win7?
- what is the Windows file system type, is it FAT or NTFS
- Can you try install WLS on C:, e.g. C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects and see if it still happens?

Application does not load correctly when deploying to standalone server

All,
I have created simple application implementing fusion theme. Applicaiton works fine when I run on integrated server but when deployed on standalone server it does not load any images or the theme itself. afrloop keep incrementing in status bar and ends up with java script error while later.
I deployed another test application on standalone server and that works fine i.e. theme gets loaded correctly. Also, how should I include images on the page? I have a images folder in web content folder but they dont get loaded.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dipal

LabVIEW now uses the Microsoft installer. It's possible that you need to upgrade the version that's on the Win2K box. I think the latest service packs from Microsoft include it.

Trayer does not Adjust correctly when Switching to External Monitor

Hello
I use a laptop with xmonad and xmobar and trayer. When i connect my external monitor via VGA, i set it to primary. My xmobar moves perfectly to the top of my external monitor, with a width of 90% of the screen, as specified in my xmobarrc. However, trayer acts differently. It does move to my external monitor, however, its position overlaps with xmobar, and does not move correctly to the remaining 10% of the screen left by xmobar which i would like trayer to occupy.
How can i make trayer move correctly?
Thank you!

Hello again. If i start my external monitor when i startx (i.e through .xinitrc) then it sets correctly. So its just the dyanmic changing of resolution that trayer has trouble adjusting with.
