Mailbox Behaviors – Big Problem

In Apple Mail, under Preferences / Accounts / Mailbox Behaviors, I have set the Trash preferences to “Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox” and “Store deleted messages on the server” by checking the boxes next to those commands.
BUT, this is not happening. An accidentally deleted message (sent or received) is NOT sent to the Trash mailbox. And accidentally deleted messages are NOT stored on the server. They are permanently gone.
I know I am doing something wrong. But what? Does anyone have a clue? I need my Mail messages and have attempted to set up these backup processes so, when I make an error by accidentally deleting something, it remains on the server for access. Thanks for any and all help.

Hello Jeff.
Select the Server Stored Trash mailbox for the account in the mailboxes drawer and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and select Trash.
Test of this makes any difference.

Changes to mailbox behaviors not being saved.

Hey guys,
I have two Google accounts set up on Apple Mail. When I try to edit the Mailbox Behaviors (under Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors) they are never saved. My steps are:
1. Go to Mailbox Behaviors
2. Uncheck Drafts & Sent
3. Click the other account, choose another tab, or close preferences
4. Dialog appears asking if I want to save the changes
5. I choose to SAVE.
6. Go back into Mailbox Behaviors - the changes were not saved (i.e. everything is still checked).
Any ideas? I'm running 10.9 on a retina Macbook Pro.

OK...my previous attempt didnt work as the settings came back after a full sync. However, I found another thread that solved my problem. Hope this helps!

Re: Mavericks Mail app and Gmail Drafts folder
Oct 24, 2013 10:30 AM (in response to Igor D.)
I had the same problem and it was causing dozens of versions of autosaved drafts to appear in my Trash. (Gmail autosaves drafts at the server level and trashes previous saves. The feature is not customizable.)
This fixed it for me, at least for the time being:
1) Quit Mail.app.
2) Log into Gmail in your favorite web browser.
3) Click on the gear menu and select "Settings".
4) Click on the "Labels" tab.
5) Under "System Labels", next to "Drafts", click on "show if unread" and uncheck the "Show in IMAP' box.
Now disable "Store draft messages on the server":
6) Launch Mail.app.
7) Select Mail > Preferences...
8) Click on the "Accounts" button in the toolbar.
9) Click once on the account name and then click the "Mailbox Behaviors" tab.
10) Uncheck the "Store draft messages on the server" box.
11) Close the window and opt to save your changes when prompted.
A few other Gmail / Mavericks Mail.app discoveries:
* You must enable the "Show in IMAP" option for the "All Mail" label in Gmail if you had it disabled before. (Google this tip for explanations and ramifications.)
* Mail.app now seems to automatically map the Sent, Junk, Trash and Drafts folders, i.e. you can't use this menu command anymore: Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Drafts / Sent / Junk / Trash
* I used to add the "[Gmail]" prefix under the "Advanced" tab of my mail account to eliminate it from the IMAP view, but it doesn't seem to be necessary any more, and might even have been causing some weirdness.

Bug with Lightroom 4? - Big problem in the keyword list!!

Hello guys,
I am Rafael Rojas, a nature and landscape photographer. This is my first post, trigered by a quite bothering problem I am having with my LR...So hello everybody!
I upgraded to LR 4 a week ago. Today I realized many of the keywords I have installed in Lightroom do not appear on the keyword list (basically all keywords after the letter S). Moreover, half of the keywords which appear on the list are not editable: that is, I cannot assign them to the selected image (by clicking on the left box), or I cannot double click them or right click them to get the Edit panel. All the rest of keywords (those which appear on the list on top), can be edited and there is no problem.
When I export the keywords as a .txt file (in metadata, export keywords) I can see that all the keywords are there. When I try to write some of them on the box LR recognize them and adds them automatically. However, I just cannot see them on my keyword list or just cannot edit them.
The reason I want to edit the keywords is because many of them got desactivated while upgrading (something more people have reported). Right now, I cannot send my images to my stock galleries, since many of my important keywords are not active, and I just cannot edit them...
Can you help me please?
thanks so much!!
rafael

Well, 64 bits.
And yes, it seems when I erase one keyword, the list "shows" one more below...so it seems the problem is related to a certain limit in number.
That would be still a problem I could live with, the big problem tough is that many of the keywords got "deactivated" alone by Lightroom (see problem here described http://www.backyardsilver.com/2012/02/strange-behavior-with-capitalized-keywords/) and that means I NEED to edit some keywords which are really important and which are not active. Otherwise, when I export the images those keywords are not embedded...
Any thoughts?
Rafa

Mail not saving changes in Mailbox Behaviors

For one of my accounts since the upgrade to Mavericks when I enter the Mailbox Behaviors section, I found that Drafts, Junk and the one under Trash named Store Deleted messages on the server is checked.
I uncheck them because I doon't want them checked. I Save the changes I made then go back to that account and the same ones I just unchecked are now checked again. Its not saving what I just unchecked.
What the heck is wrong?
Also noticed that in OSX 10.8 I could drag all my email accounts to a different order than the way they are now listed. Can't do that now.

Thanks for discovering this issue being connected to drafts. I have trouble with this for a couple of months as well.
Since you assume it to be connected to "drafts", I suggest to deselect "Store draft messages on the server" for your IMAP-Account. I just did this for myself, to see if it helps, and can't give you results yet. Maybe you just wanna try simultaneously. I guess, the reason for our problem could me some messy communication between Mail and the server, where one party get's confused.

Mailbox behaviors

I can't seem to change these advanced settings in my iphone .mac account. I want my trashed messages to go to the server not the iphone.
But my iphone won't let me make changes to any mailbox behaviors.
Is there a problem with my phone or a way to get this to function? Or are these features not adjustable?
Thank you.

fresh bread,
All that deleting your email messages is doing is placing them in the iPhone Trash folder.
How they behave from there is governed by your settings here:
Settings>Mail>.Mac>Advanced>Deleted Messages Remove
The choices are:
Never
After one day
After one week
After on month
Until the chosen time they will be on the server as are all your .Mac email messages.

I have trouble setting the trash mailbox behavior. I have set it to delete every month but it has been keeping the trash mails for only about 10 days. Please help.

I have trouble setting the trash mailbox behavior. I have had it set to delete the messages once a month. But lately it has been deleting my messages every 10 days. I have tried choosing different options to set the trash mailbox behavior but has not been successful. Is there anything I can do? Please help.

Thanks for that advice @randers4.
I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
Problem solved!

Mailbox behaviors have been set, why won't mail in trash won't automatically delete?

I have set the MailBox Behaviors to delete Trash at 30 days. It won't delete.

scooger,
If you read the post that originated this thread, you’ll see that your problem is clearly not the same. The problem in the case of the OP appears to be that the Trash reports some messages being there that don’t show up.
Posting about your problem in a thread that is discussing something else is called threadjacking, and goes against the Terms of Use of these forums:
Threadjack—To wrongly post a dissimilar issue in an existing discussion, distracting from the true focus of the discussion. If your issue has any significant difference from a similar topic, then you're probably better off posting a new topic to focus attention on your particular issue.You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time). If that doesn’t work, please either find a thread that really discusses the same problem, or start a new topic to properly discuss your problem in its own thread.

Mail deleting messages daily instead of using Mailbox Behavior to keep on server for 1 Month

I have a Mailbox Behavior for Trash set to:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox
Store deleted message on the server
Permanently erase messages when: One month old.
But it is not respecting the latter. The messages are deleted daily. I think this is a recent (Mavericks) gift.
Anyone having the same problem? Any solutions out there?
Thanks.

POP accounts will only give you control to server settings at the inbox. If you never remove it from the server, it will download all messages when you log into your account from another computer. This could be a problem with thousands of messages left on a server.
For IMAP, your inbox will atuomatically sync to the IMAP inbox, so what you do in Mail or Webmail will reflect the change at the other.
For the other mailboxes, storing messages on the server in Mail settings basically syncs the IMAP and local mailboxes like the inbox does. So, if you trash a sent message in Mail, it will trash it at the IMAP site.
If they are left in those mailboxes, then the server setting in Mail will control how long the remain in those mailboxes unless you move them or delete them manually.
If not set to store on the server, the local mailbox will not sync with the IMAP. So, deleting a sent message from the local sent mailbox will not delete the sent message in the IMAP sent mailbox.
Some accounts like GMail have settings at their site that will let you further control how mail is handled.
You can make settings to archive messages automatically when deleted from the inbox or sent folder. I believe that is the default setting in GMail. That would be what you want to save all your mail. That would keep your inbox and sent mailboxes clean. Look at your IMAP site to see what settings you can make there.
In GMail, the "all mail" is just a reflection of all messages kept and archived. You have no settings control of this mailbox on your mac in Mail. But, you can view the "all mail" under the IMAP folder in Mail.
You can still set up a smart mailbox on your mac in mail to show the messages in the "all mail" mailbox that are greater than a year old. Only those would show up in that smart mailbox and you can just select all and delete without having to visually look at all the messages in the IMAP "all mail".

Lion/gmail mailbox behavior options - help!

Can someone please help me understand the Mailbox Behavior options in Lion with IMAP Gmail accounts? The setup that I would like is to have all my messages live on my computer AND on the server. But I cannot figure out which choices give me that! I have been trying to test the options out but have ended up just getting more confused.
When I select "Store sent messages on the server" does that mean that the sent messages are ONLY stored on the server? Or are they on both my computer and the Gmail servers? Or if I do not have it checked does it mean that the messages are stored both on the server and on my computer? Same questions go for Drafts.
My reason for wanting them to "live" both on my computer and on the server is so that I have them available offline, and most importantly, so I have a backup of my own so I am not entirely relying on Google.
I also find the options for Trash confusing. Can someone please define what happens when one or the other options or both are checked?
Don't think this matters but in case you want to know, I have 4 accounts in Gmail. Two are regular Gmail accounts and two go through Google Apps so that I can use my domain name.
TIA

1: Those were local folders. Delete them. They will be recreated again if you ever need them by unchecking storing from the server and once demanded for use.
2: Yes, when you stored messages on the server, it kicked out the local folders to On My Mac.
3: Use the top one. That is the gmail main Sent Messages. The others at the bottom at the gmail site can also be deleted. That section is for folders (labels in gmail terms) that you create at the web site for managing your mail. You can show them in IMAP, but should stay under the gmail folder in Mail. Any label in gmail that you don't want to show in Mail, just uncheck the box to show in IMAP.
4: If you're still having problems:
You may want to backup those sent messages you need to keep. Uncheck store sent messages on the server. Check to make sure you have the correct Sent Messages folder at the website to show in IMAP. Delete the other created in the bottom section in Labels. Quit and restart Mail so that it will sync up with gmail. Resync (Use This Mailbox For) the IMAP Sent Messages to the Sent mailbox in Mail. Check to see that the store messages on the server box is checked in Mail preferences.
5 & 6 & 7: That's what's suppose to happen. It moves out the local folder if one was created and puts the IMAP folder under the main Sent Mailbox. The subfolder under Sent for that account is actually the IMAP folder. That is no longer a local folder. On the advanced tab for the account, you can choose to store messages for offline viewing or not. If not, when you are not online, the messages won't appear on the computer. If you want to view offline when not connected to the internet, then make sure to select to keep messages for offline viewing.
The advantage of this in IMAP is everything done on the Mac will be the same at the website and other devices used to view the mail accounts.
Remember, the Inbox is automatically done for you by default and can't be changed. The rest of the folders you wish to show as IMAP under the main Mail mailboxes is up to you.
You need to understand that doing something in IMAP need to go through the server before it shows on your computer. If you send a message on your Mac, the message needs to be created on the server then is synced to you Mac before you see it there. If there is a delay in syncing, it may not acutally appear for a few seconds in the sent folder. Same thing with other functions, like moving messages to the trash. The server has to remove it from the Inbox, then disappears from the computer inbox, then trashed by the server, then synced to the Mac to show the message in the Trash. You're instructing the server what and how to handle a task rather than the computer.
Remember, when you're looking at the IMAP folder (either under the main mailbox or under the gmail folder), you're looking at a copy of what's on the server.
Read the help sections in gmail. Play around with different settings is the best way to learn. Create another test account in gmail if you don't feel comfortable playing with the others. I also have a hard time with instructions, so sometimes I just have to try and see the results until I do get an understanding of what they are saying. All will be clear with a little trial and error.
Gmail is more complex than other IMAP sites and a bit harder to get use to.
I created a gmail account to play with. I use it very little and get a bit confused myself. That's why I say read the site carefully and learn and understand the settings a little at a time. I think you will get more out of it that way. Then you can post other questions in the future about specific matters that can be answered by me or others who may know a little more about it.

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

How to load an image without a gui? big problems...

Hey guys, I usually try my best to not ask for help and figure stuff out myself. But this last week i've been having big problems with this work project.
My goal is to load images from disk, and append them to each other to create one big image.
The images are 0-9.jpg each file containing a number in it. then i create one big file with 4 numbers in it. called final.jpg.
so far i can do all this, but whenever the program is finished, the application just keeps running. the program has literally gone through all the steps... i have a system.out.println printed on the last line after the main, after the class instantiation... and still it stays running.
how do you guys load images without a gui? This program will probably be running under unix, so i can't create a (for component example)
Panel() and media track the file load... so i'm pretty much stumped
any help you guys can provide would be really incredibly helpfull at this point. I have searched these threads for a few hours without luck. I found only 1 real post related to my problem, but eventually they said use MediaTracker = new Mediatracker( new Panel() ); which i can't use. :(
Thanks a lot guys.
:D

yeah tried doing that, didn't work either.
UPDATE
I FINALLY found a way...
and here it is for others to find!
public BufferedImage getImage(String filename) throws Exception {
FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream( filename );
JPEGImageDecoder decoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder( input );
BufferedImage image = decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
return image;
it returns an image buffer, but it's better than nothing! :)
atleast this functions under unix.

One Apple ID two phones big problem.

Hi guys,
Before 6 months I bought new Iphone 4s,but it was used one day from person who sell it to me, so it already has Apple id.
I deleted user and created my user which was synced with iCloud and worked without any problem.
Before 10 I bought Iphone 5, also created my Apple ID on it and sync with my PC/ iCloud.
Yesterday I want to sell my first Iphone 4 and I did reset ( Erase all content and setting), but it did not want to wake up, so i started it with DFU mode using I tunes, and I did restore and update.
Now I am facing to bit problem, on the begging steps it says something like "this apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone".
If I go to iCloud I can see only one device and currently its new iPhone 5, but both devices called with same name, so I am not sure is this problem.
So I have two doubts:
- I am not sure does SIM card can make this problem(on initiation phase you have to put sim in Iphone), because main is much smaller now so I using my wife SIM to finis registration Iphone 4 (iPhone 5 using smaller than iPhone4)?
- another thing It says you have to "use original apple id..", like I sad on the beginning when i bought Iphone4 it already has apple id on it, which I was deleted and configure main (afterwards this device was visible on my iCloud). So do I need to put first creaded apple id, does iPhone remembering first created or last used. If yes I have big problem because I dont have contact of user who sell it to me.
I want to add one thing, Iphone is not stolen I have warranty documentations and all profs that is not stolen.
PLEASE HELP, in my country we have awful support !

Just left the Apple store with an official answer. You can have two phones one Apple ID, turn off auto updates so you don't automatically get apps on both phones. Then you need two different iCloud accounts.

HI there, am having a big problem updating mu iphone due to me forgetting my password, can you tell me how to retrieve it. It seems like i have one apple id for downloads and a different one for updates. Can you help ps.?

Hi There
Am having a big problem updating my iphone 4 Apps, due to a problem with my password for my apple id. But it seems that i have two different ids, one for the updates and another for the downloads. I am not able to retrieve my Id password for updating my Apps. Can you help me ps?
Thank you

What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?
