Mail only allows IMAP and not POP

hi folks
yes i know, hold down the option key and get the POP option, but this is still not working.
for YEARS i used pop with no problems, now all of a sudden i have IMAP only and it appears to be duplicating thousands of emails in secondary mailboxes below the primary ones.
my mac expert told me this is cos i'm using IMAP.
so, i went into gmail, changed one account to IMAP DISABLED / POP ENABLED and i set up the POP account in mail.
it doesnt work!
how is it possible i could be working fine for years and now all this happens? i change NOTHING...
at times, my accounts just plain stops working!
what's going on? this is all such a DRAG!

Instead of using the large preset account settings icons (Google, AOL, Yahoo, etc), use the "Other" option on the bottom. You'll have to enter more info manually, but, if offered by your service provider, you can choose between IMAP and POP by the settings you provide.

Mail hangs with IMAP but not POP

Hey guys,
I'm running a POP Gmail account in Mail 3.1 and have about 3,000 messages in my Inbox. I recently created a new IMAP inbox for my gmail in Mail, works on my iPhone, but after Mail downloaded all the messages from the server, it just freezes and hangs after about a minute of use. Some messages are duplicated in the inbox. This only happens when having the IMAP account online, when switched off and only the POP inbox is running, mail works just fine.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Chris

Is there any reason why you keep 3,000 messages in the Inbox??
If you're now using imap with this many, the system will be trying to sync to keep both online and desktop aligned, so to speak. I'd encourage you to delete unwanted emails, then create specific folders and categorize your emails into some sort of filing system.
As early as the DOS days and the original Macs, directories/folders were there for a purpose. As I tell my students: imagine throwing all those files into your office filing cabinet with no alphabetized system. Not only would it be chaos, but imagine how much longer it would take you to find something.
Not trying to be sarcastic, but it's about the only analogy to describe the concept. Hope this helps a bit.

Yahoo Pop only retrieve inbox and not spam folder

Hi! As per the title, how do i get mail to retrieve only the inbox and not the spam folder with pop?
I assume it is a silly option i'm missing... thanks in advance!

Sorry, I misread you post. There is a feature with ATT mail that allows that. Deselete it in Settings, more options.
Change it to don't POP spam.

Hi,
Go to the iPhone
GO to Settings > Messages
Is the iPhone Number ticked to be enabled (It will be greyed out and not editable but should be On)
If it is Off (Unticked remove the Apple ID)
Place the iPhone in Airplane mode for a few minutes.
Go back to Settings Messages and make sure the Message app Is Enabled overall.
Check the iPhone Number is verifying.
When Completed test by sending an iMessage to your Apple ID (Mac)
If that works add back the Apple ID to the iPhone's Settings.
Restart the Mac App and Accept the op ups that appear as to what the iPhone is using.

Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjus

Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

How can I attach a photo from iPhoto to mail as a file and not just put it on the email itself?

Souvent eu ce problème,
Je cree un dossier sur le bureau et glisse les photos à partir d'Iphoto dans ce dossier. Ce geste a pour effet de creer des copies dans le dossier.
Il ne reste plus qu'à selectionner ces photos pour les envoyer en pièces jointes.

Airport utility only shows disc and not airplay

airport utility only shows disc and not airplay

Actually......IF......one is using an older 5.x version of AirPort Utility......AND.....an AirPort Express, a Music icon is displayed at the top of the screen. If you click the Music icon, there are settings to enable AirPlay and establish a password for the service.
The newer Mac 6.x and iPad and iPhone versions of AirPort Utility automatically enable AirPlay, but display no settings for this.
Since ralphington is using Mavericks (10.9.4), there are no controls for AirPlay displayed in his version of AirPort Utility.

I am able to search only by text and not by Key in filter.

We have a variable x which has bex properties in the infoobject level to
1.display: Key and Text
2.text type: long text
3.Query def filter value selection: Only values in infoprovider
4.Query Exe filter value selection: Only posted values for navigation.
in the Query designer to the object we have the same properties for 1 and 2 as above.
 On execueting the report in web, In the variable screen for x we can search for both Key and text. (we have two radio buttons for Key and text),
 Whereas in the result area for the filter for x I am able to search only by text and not by Key. I want to search by both Key and text in filter screen.
Can u suggest suitable solution for this ASAP.

I have been working on a similar problem and have found that it depends on what kind of InfoProvider you are using.
If you are using an InfoCube, the setting that seems to control this is on the maintenance screen (Admin Workbench -> {InfoProvider to be edited} -> Change -> Extras -> Structur-Specific InfoObject Properties. If you want the key and text to display on the variables screen (which you already have), make sure the 'Display' is set to "Key and Text". If you want key and text to display on the filter screen, make sure the 'F4 Query' is set to "Values in Master Data Table". (You may also have to set the characteristic to display key and text in the query, but it sounds like you already have done this.)
For an ODS, the settings are the same, but the path to get there is different. Go to Admin Workbench -> {ODS to be edited} -> Change -> {InfoObject to be edited} -> Right-click -> ODS-object Specific Properties. Same settings as above after this.
For a MultiProvider, I found that the settings on the InfoObject itself seemed to control the display on the Web, so I ended up setting: Display = "Key and Text"; Query Def Filter Value Selection = "Values in Master Data Table"; and Query Exe Filter Value Selection = "Values in Master Data Table". That may be a bit of overkill, but I wanted to be sure to get both key and text in all situations.
I also found that the settings for navigational attributes (e.g., 0PLANT__0REGION) for any kind of InfoProvider must be set at the InfoObject level (e.g., 0REGION), as above.
Even with all of this, I still have a couple of InfoObjects left that I can't get to display both key and text for some unknown reason.
Hope this helps...
Bob

When installing iLife, can I only upgrade iPHoto and not iMovie or iDVD?

When I install iLife, Is it possible to only upgrade iPhoto and not iMovie and iDVD? I've heard the new versions of iMovie and iDVD are not as robust. If I do this, does iPhoto '08 still integrate with the last version of iDVD?

If you do a custom install you can select what gets installed
I believe that You also can move the old versions so the new versions get installed and you still have the old versions - I understand that Old Toad has numerous versions of iLife programs on his system - search the iPhoto forum for his posts to see what he has to say about that
And you can download iMovie 6 from the Apple download site - a free install for iLife '08 owners
So you can have the old and the new

Firstly, try a factory reset. This can often iron out problems like this.
Also, what generation is your TC? What version of AirPort Utility are you using?
