Never saw this before...

I opened up a folder in users>me>library>mail and found two folders, a mail and a pop-server folder. In the mail folder, I saw all kinds of old emails in an Inbox and Deleted Messages icon. How come these really old emails are still in my computer's memory? They don't show up at all in my regular email that I use daily.
Thanks for your help!

I have similar directories for my current email accounts, and they contain old email as yours do.
I recall that the mail app was upgraded significantly (perhaps for Tiger?) and these are probably the remnants of how the old mail app stored mail.
The directories, though, do have content that is updated by the current Mail app (note that the dates of some files are recent) so I'd be cautious about deleting anything.

  • "Pipe Endpoint Error" - Never Saw This Error Before

    Hello -
    I'm getting a strange error from within Data Tools whenever I try to test my SSRS report which i'm developing, i've never seen this before -
    "The pipe endpoint 'net.pipe://localhost/PreviewProcessingService6268/ReportProcessing' could not be found on your local machine"
    Can someone tell me what this means and how to fix it?  I'm not finding much about it online. 
    Thanks

    Hi AvenueStuart,
    According to the error message, the issue can be caused by Net.Pipe Listener Adapter Windows service is not started or the SPN for the report server is not registered when Kerberos authentication is enabled. So, to fix this issue, please refer to the following
    tips:
    Start the Net.Pipe Listener Adapter services.
    1. Press WinKey+R , input “services.msc” in the Run box, and press enter.
    2. In the local services list, find the “Net.Pipe Listener Adapter”. If it is stopped, start it. If it is started, restart it.
    Please run the following command to register a Service Principal Name (SPN) for a Report Server:
    Setspn -s http/<computername>.<domainname>:<port> <domain-user-account>
    References:

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

  • Suddenly I cant copy and paste copy/cut/paste is not available in Mozillia and firefox. Never seen this before

    I have never seen this before when I try to copy and paste, I get a
    "Copy/cut/ paste is not available in Mozilla and firefox. Do you want more information about this issue? "
    I have copied and pasted hundreds of times before with Mozilla and firefox . This just happened suddenly.
    when I go to find more information on this issue, it give a long drawn out explanation I cant follow.
    What happened?

    When you right-click the link, the page immediately tells you you can't copy, or does that occur after you choose Copy Link Location?
    If it appears immediately, you can switch a setting in Firefox that should prevent sites from blocking the normal right-click menu. Here's how you would do that:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''context''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''dom.event.contextmenu.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false.
    This setting does have a complication: On Google Maps and other sites that have their own right-click menu, Firefox's menu then will block the site's menu. To clear Firefox's menu so you can access the site's menu tap either the Alt key or Esc key once (but sometimes Esc removes both).

  • Every few minutes my screen goes blue! It has never done this before I upgraded to Lion.

    I installed Lion last night, now every few minutes my screen goes blue! It has never done this before I upgraded to Lion.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Jack
    Thanks for the reply. Thankfully, it has stopped now.
    My iMac is quite new and less than half full, so I don't think deleting anything would have helped. Maybe the CPU was working too hard for a while ?
    Just glad that it is now stable again.

  • Is anyone else having the finish rub off of the keys on their macbook? I've had mine for about 6 months and several keys look like the finish is wearing through. I went to the local genius bar today and the techs said they'd never seen this before.

    Some people have seen their aluminum uni-body discoloring due to body oils.  Go figure.
    Normally putting anything over the keys/aluminum will hurt heat disspation, but you may need to use keyboard covers.
    Or save up $500/year for new keyboards.
    Neither is supposed to be a sarcastic answer.  Either one could end up being the solution.
    Good luck with it.

    i am not able to send pictures to anyone one without iMessage, it has never done this before. how do i fix this?

    The immediate solution that comes to mind is to email the pictures.  You can open the photo, click the arrow out on the bottom left, and email the photo that way.
    Otherwise, if you're trying to Text Message the pictures by MMS, go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn that on.  Also turn on MMS Messaging below that.
