Manual Email Download w/ Latest OS
Hi all - I'm new here :-)
Day 2 with a new BB Q10 and so far it's great!
I'm pretty tech savvy and have set up my POP3 email account as well as the SMTP etc.. and eveything works.
I set the POP3 account email 'Sync Interval' to "Manual", assuming this would allow me to check my email ONLY when I wish to do so as I don't want email downloaded to the Q10 unless I have a good reason to check it. I bought the Q10 primarily as a phone and not as an email tool.
With my desktop email program I delete email on the server after downloading, so there's never a lot waiting for downloading. But I do get the usual spam + "friends" who enjoy sending 5-10MB image attachments of their cat (sigh) and I don't want these eating into my Data plan while on the road.
The problem:
Despite the 'Sync -> Manual' setting the Q10 still downlloads whatever's on the mail server.
So -- the questions are:
1) How can only get/sync the email ONLY when I want to?
2) Can I temporarily disable that email account altogether and reenable it without having to re-enter all the settings?
3) Once downloaded, can I delete emails without opening them and being exposed to what they might contain?
4) Are there alternative email programs available for the Q10
Thank you any help with this.

What you can do with the email is to set when to sync your can also go to settings and toggle the switch to data plan in order to save data!
The data plan is already off as I'm on my local wi-fi. But I still end up downloading emails that I then appear to have to OPEN if I want to delete them.
Is there no way to delete emails without opening?
What about deleting emails that may contain a dangerous payload?
The set to sync every "24 hours" will work only for 24 hours. I'd prefer to set it to something longer (->7days). But when it does kick in it will still download whatever's waiting online.
Why not a Sync ON/OFF option?
Or why doesn't the "Manual" sync setting bahave as it suggests?
If this is a bug then I'm happy to just wait for a fix. But I was hoping there was already a setting that I had overlooked.
Thanks for your suggestions nonetheless :-)

What happened to my music when I downloaded the latest version of Itunes? I had quite a few songs there and now NOTHING. I want to uninstall this version and go back to the older one. how do I do this without wiping out whatever else is left on there? I am already ticked off that I will have to put all my music back an there manually ( I don't want all my music collection on Itunes. I am really hating Itunes right now. So what can I do?
Hi,
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/?src=search Xmarks] is a bookmarks/history/tabs backup/sync utility. It is not a feature of Firefox. It is an extension which had to be manually added or perhaps could have come with another extension.
If you have registered with the service you have to enter the username and password to log in to the service. Otherwise try pressing the '''Esc''' key on the keyboard and after Firefox opens, go to '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click Extensions on the left and look for Xmarks and '''Disable''' to disable it or '''Remove''' to uninstall it. If that doesn't work, start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] In the first screen choose '''Disable all add-ons''' and '''Make Changes and Restart''' and repeat the above procedure, but this time, re-enable all the needed extensions except Xmarks. You may also have to re-enable the plugins after clicking '''Plugins''' on the left).

I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?
The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it. -
I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro last week. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. I can't find where to delete that email login. iCloud is also showing my new email login, plus a bogus one I accidentally created trying to fix this problem. Now the calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync with my iPhone5.
It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

After downloading the latest Thunderbird update (24.5.0), I can no longer download emails.
I just downloaded the latest release, and my email apparently is no longer connecting to my server. I tried reinstalling Thunderbird and rebooting my computer with no success. My server settings are correct, and have not changed since last night. When I used an older version of Thunderbird on a different computer, I was able to download just fine.
Check your firewall and see if it blocked the new version of Thunderbird.

I have Windows 8.1 on my PC. Ever since downloading the latest version of i Tunes, it will not recognize any of my i Pods (3) and therefore am unable to sync any music from my i Tunes to the i Pods. I've tried all the obvious things like resarting the PC as well as the i Pods tried different patch cables but the i Tunes software will no longer recognize my i Pods. I have automatic sync selected, but I even tried to manually sync by clicking on devices under File but the sync icon is "grayed" out. When I look under Preferences and click on devices the serial numbers of my i Pods appear and are correct but again will not recognize the i Pod when plugged in to the PC. Bottom line I'm dead in the water....appreciate any suggestions....thanks

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive. -
TS1368 When downloading the latest updateI get an error message MSVCR80.dll is missing
I have come up against an error created when downloading the latest update to itunes. This does not download and if you follow the instructions of going to tools and download manually then update it creates an error message of MSVCR80.dll is missing please reinstall and try again. This error message comes up all the time and to get around it I have had to reboot my system from a previous saved date and not do the latest download. I am now trying to get my itunes account sorted but it will let me access my music however, when I try to view the movies I have purchased it states itunes is not working properly and closes it down. I tried to email itunes but it said I had to use internet explorer which I was using, I had to download firefox and then delete all the rubbish which came with it before it would allow me to send them an email with my problems, what a joke! I am now losing all confidence in itunes and the latest downloads. So disappointing when it was working so well until now!

What’s your account type using in Outlook? IMAP account or Exchange account?
Please make sure your Outlook 2013 is updated to the latest version. Then click Send/Receive > Send/Receive All Folders to manually download mailbox data files from mail server to Outlook data file. If it fails, please recreate the IMAP account in Outlook
