Mail & location settings question

Can I customise mail to change its Outgoing Mail Server settings in conjunction with the Location settings in Network Prefs?
I am always using my PB in different locations, while the Locations Prefs serve me well, I find I have to remember to manually change Mail's Outgoing Mail Server prefs.
I do use Postfix Enabler but not all ISP's allow sending of mail without going through their server.

Location On is for gps on the phone. Programs like weather will take the most advantage of this. I recommend keeping it on although its not a huge deal if its off. Battery power will be slightly less with it on.
Google location settings are for local results when searching Google services. No real gps capability but it will give you that pizza places name down the block first when you search the name pizza. Get the concept?
Finally, I use the WiFi, airplane mode, gps off once in a while. Maybe you also want to put the system tools widget on a homescreen. It's handy, and when your concerned about energy its nice to do a couple taps and have it fixed.

Sync Mail Account Settings

Hi All,
I have two machines:
MacPro OS 10.7.2
MacBookPro OS 10.7.2
I am using iCloud to sync info between them.
Me.com used to allow you to syncronize mail account settings, and iCloud does not, so I have two questions:
1. Is there anyway to sync mail account settings between two computers?
2. If not, can you export a file that contains the settings from one computer to import it into another?
Thanks for you time!
Rob

Hi Illaas,
Thanks for your response.
You don't mention whether you are looking in iTunes or Finder. However, it does not really matter: either way I do not see emails as a sync option.
Under Finder, my iPad is not showing as a separate device.
Under iTunes under Devices, when I click on my iPad, I see lots of tabs (Summary, Info, Apps, Movies, Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunesU, Books and Photos) but no Mail.
I ended up creating each Mail account individually, so this issue is not really resolved but I found a workaround.
Thanks for your input.

Location settings change by themselves

I am trying to set up several "locations" so I can quickly change configurations (mostly between being wired-only or wireless-only to I can test various devices).
For example, I have locations "Automatic" (where Ethernet and Wireless are enabled), "Ethernet 192.168.1.12 only," and "Wireless only." I set up one location, then a second, and so on, each time clicking "Apply" and locking the changes. However, the settings do not stick. For example, in the Ethernet-only locations, I have turned off Airport, but after turning on Airport in a different location, Airport might spontaneously come on in the Ethernet location. Often, the location I have selected in the popup menu *changes by itself* as I try to enable or disable services in some other location! It's spooky.
In summary, I cannot get my location settings to stick. They change after I have Applied and Locked them, and sometimes the location itself changes on its own.
I have searched this group, and found nobody else describing this problem.
What's going on? How can I get the location settings to stick?

I too can't get my network settings to "stick".
I assumed that Location Services simply couldn't do that. But it makes so much sense to have location services control the network & printer settings (and even use the network the Mac can see to prompt a change in location).
So I'll add my voice to your question.
Anyone know if location services can affect network settings?

I cant turn on location settings

- Can you post a screen shot of what you mean by your screen is grey? What screen?
- I also do not understand by " my mail accounts go to the browser URL instead of my phones app". What are you doing when that happens? What does your phone have to do with this?
What do you mean by "click? on location. Are you clicking the Home or Power button or what?

Importing Outlook 2010 Mail account settings from one copy of Office 2010, to another copy of Office 2919

I am trying to export my E-mail ACCOUNT settings from one copy of Outlook 2010 so that I can import them in another copy of Office 2010 on a different computer. Again, BOTH computers have Office 2010 on them. While I can move the PST file, my
E-mail account information never comes across. How can I do that without having to enter each account separately. Also is it normal for the E-mail accounts to show up as DATA FILES rathan than E-MAIL FILES? I've never come this in the past.
Thanks.

As JHarris1993 said, this is BOSS! Thank you.
I used this solution to recreate a profile I was using under one Windows 7 account in another account on the same machine. The profile was successfully recreated but I noticed that the email accounts in the profile were still pointing to the data files from
the other account, which is not surprising at all.
Unfortunately no easy way exists for re-pointing email accounts to alternate file locations. I have five different email accounts in this profile (2 IMAP, 2 Outlook Hotmail Connector and one Exchange), and looks like there are solutions and workaround for
each type of account which work with varying degrees of success.
Changing location of pst data file for
IMAP email account
Changing
location of ost data file for an Exchange email account
Changing location of ost data file for a Hotmail Connector email account
Thanks Again,
Jaspreet

Location settings/GPS can't change the options - used to be able to!

I've read another thread with the same problem and people are saying you must've been connected to something with GPS - I haven't, nobody in my house has a phone or anything else that connects to GPS so it's not possible.
I was trying to get this new Facebook Places working and did something that seemed to work for a few 8520 users - Update the OS through the Desktop Software. I updated to the latest one and when I go Options > Advanced Options > Location Settings (It used to be GPS Settings or something similar, not Location Settings) I used to get GPS none and be able to switch my Location Services off and on. Since updating, I only get GPS none and Location Services off, no option to change either.
BB Maps used to find my location fine, Foursquare was good at finding very nearby locations so it must work using something other than GPS. I've updated everything only to try and get bloody FB Places working and it's not even worth it, I can't even use BB Maps now!
Is there anything I can do? I've tried re-installing maps and Foursquare but neither can find my location anymore so I believe it was something to do with the update.

The Curve 8520 does not have GPS so that's where the problem lies.
I hope that clears things up.

HT4859 After the i-cloud server issue Nov 26, 2012, I had to change some mail account settings to get my i-cloud mail to work again. However, all of my received e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve my e-mails from the server?

After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail. I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails. However, all of my historical e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

Where did my location settings go?

I updated my software and now I can't find my location settings?

Mail, Snow Leopard and iCloud mail server settings

If I use the iCloud suggested settings as per:
ENTERING iCLOUD MAIL SERVER SETTINGS IN SNOW LEOPARD
as per Roger Wilmut's suggestions - http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html,
will all my other incoming and outgoing mail accounts still work as usual?
Thanks

Whatever you enter in your settings for your iCloud mail account, they will not affect any other mail account you have set up in your mail application.

Try Settings>Privacy>Location Services and switch it on. You will see a list of apps that you turn on/off for location services.

Network locations settings transfer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.2

Hi,
I migrated my previous Mac Book Pro 15 under Mac os 10.5.8 under my new Mac Book Pro 13 under 10.6.2.
I migrated from portable mac to new ones since 10.3 and got my Network Locations settings migrated as well. With Snow Leopard I did not get those settings migrated.
However as I am very often at different places, I just have a very large list of locations settings.
I can not find any indications on how to export/import them. The preferences.xml file that contains this information up to 10.5 seems not to exist anylonger.
Any equivalent or working procedure to advise?
Thanks a lot.

You have to pay to go from where you are to Snow Leopard. Then you can get Lion (pay again!) Or you can order the new USB drive version (pay again - either way, you pay!) and load Lion directly w/o any of the other updates. Snow Leopard is $30 + Lion is $30 = $60, or get the USB stick for $69.

SMTP Mail Adapter settings

Hi Experts,
I have small doubt regarding SMTP Mail Adapter settings.
Right now i am sending files in attachment to the Users through SMTP.
But now User needs in MIME type for which i can see settings in Security Parameter.
I can see is S/MIME, when i flag that i can see Duration like Days, hours, minutes, seconds.
Could you please tell me what is the significance of it.
Appreciate for your suggestions
Regards,
Bhasker

Hi,
>>>What does Duration means is that if i give duration that security archiving works for that duration
nothing for now - this functionality does not work so it makes no difference what does it mean

Do we need to enter full email address in Incoming mail server settings on POP Account

HT204003 Passbook is not listed under Privacy Location Settings.

I was trying to add a amusement park ticket (for King's Island) to my Passbook. The pass comes up, gives me the option to choose "Add", but then it doesn't add it to Passbook. When researching possible reasons why, I noticed a setting mentioned under >Privacy>Location Settings. When I go to this area, in my settings, Passbook is not listed. I checked with two friends (one has a 5, the other a 4S) and both show Passbook listed in this area. I tried calling Apple Tech Support, and the person I spoke with had no idea what I was talking about, after explaining it for ten minutes. I am assuming that not having this setting is somehow causing the issue with my ability to add the ticket to my Passbook - but Passbook cannot be deleted and "reinstalled" and I have the most current version of iOS6. Help! (NOTE: I tried the fixes I saw online - most dealing with the Restrictions settings. My settings are identical to my friends, who both checked the Restrictions settings as well.)
