Mail not remembering To Do column widths?

I avidly use the To Do feature in Mac Mail... and am frustrated that it doesn't seem to want to retain the column widths I choose. Is there some setting I've overlooked?
Thanks

Interestingly, Mail does seem to remember the window positions, in its com.apple.Mail.plist, but it isn't applying the remembered positions. I tried a few times, and on at least one try it got the positions correct. Could it be that if you quit, restart then quit and restart again it will have them right on the second restart?

FIXED! How I fixed Mail not remembering passwords, keychains, certificates

As noted in this lengthy thread, hundreds of users who upgraded to Leopard were experiencing their email accounts not remembering their passwords in Mail. Since the upgrade to Leo, I was seeing this, too. Every hour or so, I'd need to reenter all the passwords to all 8 emails that I had. I also was seeing odd keychain behavior with Safari. I'd need to re-enter passwords and certificates over and over again.
From reading the above thread, a couple posters had come up with a fix. I modified it slightly, and for the past 3 days, everything has worked perfectly. Note that I'm no geek, don't really get why it worked, and basically attacked this like a man with a shotgun shooting a mouse. So what I did may break your system or cause you to die from cancer. But here's the steps I did that eliminated the problem
1. I quit Mail & Safari.
2. I opened up Keychain Access (in Utilities) and deleted everything I possibly could. I initially tried to just delete Mail and Safari-related stuff, but that didn't work, so I deleted everything the system allowed me to delete.
3. I ran Keychain First Aid (Menu: Keychain Access). I re-ran it about 4 times until it couldn't repair anything further (there was a dozen things it said it couldn't change, but there you go).
4. I then hooked up a second Mac, via Firewire, that had recently had a clean install of Leopard on it. I dragged the Mail app file over into the applications folder had it replace the existing Mail app.
5. I did the same with Safari, replacing the existing Safari app file.
(NOTE: I hear you can do essentially the same thing for steps 4 and 5, using your original Leopard install discs and a program called Pacifist, but that was more techie than I felt comfortable with. But I hear it does the same thing as copying over clean virgin copies of Mail and Safari, as I did in steps 4 and 5)
6. I then repaired permissions (via the Disk Utility in Utilities). I think this step is a little like smudging with sage, or chanting, but in fact both the new Safari and the Mail app needed thousands of repairs, so perhaps this wasn't as voodoo as suspected.
7. I then restarted the Mac. Upon opening up Mail, I did, of course, need to re-enter all of the passwords again. But that was it. That was 3 days ago, and I've been groovy ever since. I've restarted the apps, and restarted the Mac numerous times. So far, all passwords and keychains and certificates have remained solid.
So there you go. How I Fixed a Hair-Pulling Glitch in my Otherwise Nice Leopard System.

Did you copy both key3.db and signons.sqlite to the profile folder?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox. 
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. 
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. 
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost. 
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

Mail Not Remembering Window Position of Previous Session (again)

Everytime I relaunch Mail, I have to rearrange the viewer windows to the way that is most efficient to use them. Is there a way for Mail to remember window positions, and sort preferences for each viewer window?

Interestingly, Mail does seem to remember the window positions, in its com.apple.Mail.plist, but it isn't applying the remembered positions. I tried a few times, and on at least one try it got the positions correct. Could it be that if you quit, restart then quit and restart again it will have them right on the second restart?

Mail Not Remembering Window Position of Previous Session

Mail has started forgetting how its main window was sized when previously using the application.
When I open Mail, the window dimensions are like those for a small screen - not as previously sized.
Is this a known problem (could not find with discussion search) and is there a fix? Thanks!

Mail not remembering Account Passwords

Sorry to add to the list of things not working, but...
My Mail doesn't seem to want to save it's passwords. I keep having to re-enter them each time I reopen Mail.
I've checked Keychain Access and it doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem, even tried repairing it to no avail.
Anyone else having this trouble?

So I tried all the keychain stuff, loaded the new 1.0 patch, ran permissions and disk repair from the install CD and still... I have tried deleting mail accounts and adding them back, it asks for passwords and all but does not retain them. HOWEVER, in my non-administrator account I can create and save mail settings and passwords just fine, and on my G4 Powerbook when I loaded 10.5 it kept the passwords and works fine.
I thought for a bit maybe there were regional versions of this software and the problem could be in one of those. I live in Northern Wisconsin and am using Snow Leopard... :o)

Why was "Mail not remembering passwords" thread locked out?

The problem wasn't resolved, yet the thread has been locked out! Does Apple monitor this board? If so, could someone from Apple at least acknowledge that there is a Mail-related problem and that someone is looking into it? The problem wasn't resolved with the latest Leopard release and even a cursory reading through the aforementioned thread reveals a lot of very frustrated users!

I had the same problem every once in a while with Tiger and now with Leopard. Sometimes, it works properly, i.e. remembering the passord. Sometimes, I am asked for my password repeatedly whether I check the "save" box. I have two different e-mail providers (gmail.com and gmx.net). I only get the troubles with the second one from time to time over a period of time.
I could "fix" it with the following workaround:
Mail > Preferences > General > Check for new mail: every 5 minutes.
Before, I had had set it to "check every 1 minute" what often resulted in the "loss" of the password.

Mail not remembering password

Since the 10.5 upgrade, Mail continues to ask for my password when it goes out to check mail even with the "save" box checked.
I ran Keychain First Aid.

Oracle 9i Discoverer Column Widths

We are currently using Discoverer 3.1 and will be upgrading. I have heard that versions of Discoverer for 9i do not allow modification of column widths when reports are created.
Is this true?
Thank you, Laurel

Hi!
Well, you are a little bit vague about the issue. Do you have any problems during the installation?
Basically you just install it (9i AS has a standalone version of the Discoverer), create an End User Layer and connect to it from your Workbooks.
Otherwise have a look at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/A97329_03/bi.902/a95458/toc.htm

Print table, variable column width

I've almost finished a software in LabView which prints a ticket. Everything is already done, but the problem is that I need to print a table with variable column width: I have queantity, description and price in my table, so quantity does not need the same column width as description, to give an example. Is it necessary to work trough Excel to fix this issue or is there any way to solve it on a standard report?

Hi coyotejr83
Do you have the Report Generation Toolkit installed?? If you do there are Functions you can use to modify the width of the cells in your ticket. If you do not have it installed you can use a Table class(this class is VI Server>>Generic>>Go Object>>Controls>>Table) property node to change the size of the the cells in your table before sending it to print. I would recomend the Report Generation Toolkit, because it gives you much more functionality.
Have a great day

When printing an e-mail, it prints in narrow column - not full page width!

Spacing is also erratic

check the default paper size for your printer on the printers folder in Windows.

Portal Report from SQL query will not fill the page irrespective of column width.....

I'm displaying a report in a portal and if you run in full screen the table does not fill the page.
I can change the column width from xx percent to xx pixel and nothing makes a difference
any ideas?

Hi,
Which version of portal are you using. This is a bug. It has been fixed in 30984.
Thanks,

And this is what I get... no matter value I put in line 80, the width doesn't change.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening ?
Thank you

You splitted the parent container in two part upper and lower row (2 rows), so you are able to adjust the vertical size, but not the horizontal size (only 1 column) this size must be adjusted on parent container.

How to autosize column widths in Mail?

One of the nice features in Windows that I can't seem to find in OS X is the ability to quickly auto adjust the column widths.
In Outlook, you can either double click one column heading divider to adjust that column's width, or double click the furthest (to the right) column heading divider and all of the columns adjust their width for best viewing.
In Mail, I have to drag each of the column dividers to adjust the width.
If I resize the Mail window, I need to adjust them again.
I haven't been able to find an easy way to do this.
Does this feature exist in Mail?

no. you have to adjust the column widths individually by hand.

Set Column width in query (not using SQL*Plus)

How can I Set Column width in query
I understand you can set column width using
column col1 FORMAT A5
select col1 from table1;But this only works in SQL*Plus
I want to be able to do this in a regular SQL query window (not in SQL*Plus), how can I do it.....
I am using a 'SQL window' in PL/SQL Developer IDE
and when I use this syntax it says:
ORA-00900: Invalid SQL statement
Any suggestions are appreciated...
thanks,
M.

Did you try using RPAD or LPAD functions? They fill the unfilled part of a string with character you provide... either on right or left side depending on what function you use.
e.g.
SELECT RPAD('Smith', 10, ' ') Name FROM dual;http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/sql/rpad.html
