Make iPhone default to "All Inboxes"

This is really very annoying. After updating the OS on my phone it won't default to "All Inboxes". It defaults to the mail account at the top of the list of accounts. I've tried removing all the mailboxes but even then it doesn't default to the one I want anyway, doesn't matter the order I put them in at.
Apple please fix this, it's sooooooo flipping stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm at the latest release but this started happening somewhere aroung the 4.1 release.

Allan,
Yes, you are correct in everything you said. I should have been more detailed. My apologies.
I want my mail app to open to this screen, which it used to. I was referring to it by the incorrect name. Not all inboxes but to all my mailboxes screen (see image). Leaving the app open on this screen, moving to another app, and then returning to the mail app is fine. However, when I close mail and relaunch, it will open to the inbox of the first account listed, which is Gmail.
I'd like to add, Allan, that you acutally made me away of a possible solution to this issue if no true fix isn't available. I like this screen because I get to see how many messages are in which account and prioritize accordingly. However, I could do as you suggested and keep my mail open to "all inboxes". I see all my mail, but I can still decide which messages to prioritize without reading them. It isn't THE solution I was looking for, but is A solution until Apple fixes it. Thanks!

How to default to "All Inboxes" when opening Mail app

I just upgraded to a iPhone 5s, but I was having this issue also when I was using my 4s. I never had problems until I upgraded to iOS7. I routinely get mail to all my email accounts and would prefer that when I open the mail app, that it opens to "all inboxes" first rather than the inbox of the first account listed. A little history....
4s - my default email account was set to Gmail, but when launching the mail app, it ALWAYS opened to the inbox of my first account listed...Exchange.
5s - I have deleted the Exchange account, but the mail app continues to open in the inbox of the first account listed, which happens to be my default account...Gmail.
When I shut down the mail app, I ALWAYS go back to the "All Inboxes" screen, but when I relaunch mail, it continues to open in the inbox of the the first account listed.
I've read through other threads of people having this same issue, but any fixes mentioned seem to be 2011 or earlier. So obviously, this has been happening for some time on other versions of iOS. Is there a real, CURRENT, fix to this issue?

IPhone 4S Mail All Inboxes shows 4,294,967,289 unread mail messages

1. On my iPhone 4S in the Mail app, if I go into the Mailboxes and look at my Inboxes it shows 4,294,967,289 mail messages (see screen shot). This number is clearly incorrect, as I don't have any unread emails, and my accounts don't have anywhere near this number of emails. Of course my mail icon on the home screen doesn't show anything because the number is (incorrectly) too large.
2. On my iPad 2 in the Mail app (with the same iCloud and gmail accounts all synced up), if I go into the Mailboxes and look at my Inboxes it shows no unread mail messages, which is correct. If I get a new message, then it will show the number of unread messages accurately (1 or 2 or whatever).
Has anyone seen this problem? I deleted all my mail accounts in the iPhone and added them back again, but that did not correct the problem. I am up to date on all software as well.
Thanks for the help.

The number 4,294,967,290 corresponds to negative 6 in base 32.
It's a bug with the way gmail is reporting unread messages, or the way your iPhone is counting them. A restore should fix it.
Short of restoring your iPhone try this: Make sure you have read all your messages and the unread message count remains 4,294,967,290. Then, send six messages to your gmail account. Do not open them.
If that resets your "unread mail" count to zero then never open those six messages

Make XFCE4 default for all users

I got Arch up and running with XFCE4. its great so far
I am using either xdm or wdm as my login manager (havent decided which i want yet)
I added a ".xinitrc" file to my home folder so that XFCE4 will start when I log in. is there a way to make XFCE4 the default wm for all new users without having to add a .xinitrc file to all of their home folders? I only plan on using XFCE4 so I dont need the login manager to load other wm's. but i would like to be able to add users and have their session automatically start as XCFE. all i have found by googling and on LQ.org is making a .xinitrc file, but these seem to lean toward a single user system. there has to be an easier way, ie with fedora when you make a new user, log out and log in as the new user and it will start the default wm, or you can choose whichever wm you want to use.
im using arch 0.7.2 'gimmick' and all packages have been updated

If you just edit the skeleton file for <code>.xinitrc</code>, then for each user that is created, it will automatically be set to run xfce. The location of the file is <code>/etc/skel/.xinitrc</code> if that answers your question.

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"
I have five e-mail accounts linked to my Mail app (an Exchange account, an IMAP account, and three Outlook POP accounts. Everytime I close the app (close the app meaning double tap the Home button and close it) and reopen it, the Mail app opens the first Inbox on the list. Unfortunately, it is an inbox I rarely use, the Exchange account. I constantly have to press back to go to my "All Mailboxes" screen and then select the correct account Inbox from there. Of course, if I don't fully close the app, but rather tap the home button once and reopen it, the app opens where it left off.
Is there an easier way to make the app open to "All Mailboxes" screen by default vs. the first account listed alphabetically? Or, perhaps the app opening the Exchange account because it thinks it has a priority over the IMAP and POP accounts?
I searched this on Google but all I could find were forums from 2010 that were never answered.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you TomJones75. When I posted this initially, I was running iOS 6.1.3 and not iOS 7. I don't think editing the order of the inboxes was an option back on iOS 6.1.3. With your tip, I was able to re-order my inboxes but it still defaults to the Exchange account when opened.
I.e. first account listed under mailboxes is now an Outlook account and the 2nd is an Exhannge account. Mail still defaults to the Exhange account even though the Outlook is my default email address for the iPhone.
Good tip though! Thanks!

Can i make all inboxes the default that opens each time i open mail

Can I make "all inboxes" the default that opens each time I check mail?

Agreed! I think it's absurdly rediculous that it can't be set to open by default on the "All Inboxes" screen! This SHOULD be an option! It's a huge pain to be forced to exit a "single accounts inbox" then go back into the "all inboxes" screen. It's redundant. LOL. I was really hoping that they would add this option in ios 7...

I just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes from my phone. It was replaced with whT was on my iMac how do you make the sync go from phone to desktop and not the other way around

I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks

It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

I have 3 email accounts on my Iphone. When I updated to ios7 it merged all inboxes together. Is there a way to separate them?

Okay, I had not finished the update on my device when I first answered your question. I just now got a chance to get back on here.
Open the mail app. When you see the Mailboxes screen, over to the upper right you should see Edit. Tap on that. The next screen allows you to select what to display on the previous screen. You should be able to select the individual mailboxes. Mine came over that way when I updated.
Hope this helps.

How to make it a default for all received messages to not preview the attachment but instead show the icon? (mac mail.app)

Hi
I am having trouble with large incoming mail attachments.
When I receive a large attachment (pDf) the useful mail preview feature attempts to show a preview of the attachment. Unfortunately this is causing a lot of trouble as some PDFs are extremely large and therefore take time to open/preview. If I right click the attachment and select view as icon, the problem with that specific message ceases as the attachment is no longer previewed.
How can I make it the default for all attachments in received messages to only be shown as a icon and not previewed?

In Terminal,
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool Yes

How to make custom append search help tab default for all users?

I've implemented my own search help append and I need to make the F4 search help to display my tab as default for all users. I know that search help stores the last tab used by the user in memory and when user uses the search help next time the last used tab is displayed but I have to make the system display the tab od my search help append always as default tab. Any idea how to do it?

hi
Enhancement using Append structures
 Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. You can use the fields in append structures in ABAP programs just as you would any other field in the table.
Click on the append structure tab and opt to create new
structure.
Append structures allow you to enhance tables by adding fields to them that are not part of the standard. With append structures; customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
Append structures are created for use with a specific table. However, a table can have multiple append structures assigned to it
 Customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP

My iPhone 6 shows "No Service". Why? My device is not set to Airplane Mode and I've already checked my Cellular settings to make sure that's all right.

My iPhone 6 shows "No Service". Why? My device is not set to Airplane Mode and I've already checked my Cellular settings to make sure that's all right. Obviously I can't call Verizon to find out why I have no service, and their online Live Chat isn't working. What to do?

Make firefox default browser for all users without firefox checking for default browser

Hi,
we have 2 citrix servers in the same farm . We want to make firefox the default browser for all of our users.We also want to ignore the settings that they decide themselves influencing the default browser. 
Now the citrix forum suggested that i made a gpo that edits the folowing register keys:
HKCR\http\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location. 
HKCR\http\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox HKCR\https\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location. 
HKCR\https\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox
so i did that , and all our links now open through firefox. 
However we still get the question to make firefox our default browser while it already is defined as default browser since it opens links using firefox.
the 2nd strange thing we encountered is when we open pdf's using firefox , firefox opens but the pdf's won't open untill we make firefox default browser using the provided popup window when we start firefox 
i have googled this for days now without a proper answer . i even tried to run the "firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" command to fix it on my personal profile without any luck.that's why i am relying on your answer

Just in case, check this article for the missing information

Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
