Outlook, IMAP and ... am I doing this right?

Hi, just joined this forum as I found some useful info here after searching google for info.
From what I've found out and what I've achieved, I may be doing this wrong, or not able to achieve what I want to achieve.
I access my email, via various email addresses (BTInternet, Yahoo, my own domain, gmail etc) from Outlook at home (which stores everything permanently), Webmail, and mobile phone.
I used to have outlook set up, everything via POP, to nab everything off the server as soon as I send/receive so that it isn't there any more. I've changed this now so it leaves the last 14 days of emails on the server so I can still access them from my phone and webmail after I've 'downloaded' them to outlook. So far so good.
However I have a problem with 'sent' mail. Any email I send stays in the 'sent' box of whatever I sent it from, so I have some Sent mail sat in my Outlook sent folder, some in my webmail sent folder and some in my phone sent folder.
I'd like to keep these all together.
Now my limited understanding of such matters lead me to believe that IMAP mail would be a solution, however having fiddled with it a while I'm not so sure it is.
After searching around I found the instructions on how to do so here: http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Out-About/Re-IMAP-se​rvers-on-BTInternet-email/td-p/3045/page/3 which refers to setting up IMAP on a mobile device. However setting it up the same way in Outlook gives me a whole new Personal Folder, and only shows me what's on the server (it doesn't 'sync' in the way POP does, I THINK...) and I am unable to successfully send anything - any email I write through that account sits in my my main 'Outlook' Personal folders Outbox, and goes nowhere.
What I want is something that works transparently like POP access did - all my emails from various services coming down into my one inbox, then shuffled about to various folders depending on various Outlook rules, and being stored permanently on my machine, but now I ALSO want the ability to have a centralised 'Sent' folder accessible from anywhere.
Is what I want achievable? And if so, how do I do it?
Thanks!

  • I've installed iPhoto11 and when opening for the 1st time it says that needs to upgrade my library and it is doing this since yesterday. Is this right??

    I've installed iPhoto11 and when opening for the 1st time it says that needs to upgrade my library and it is doing this task since yesterday. Is this right??

    No. Quit and try again. If that fails again,
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Need help with an unusual workflow - Am I doing this right?

    Thanks for reading, I shot my footage in HD 720pn on the HVX200. The final export needs to be fitted into a 352x288 frame 'uncompressed' which I will hand to my client who will convert to .wmv and .h264 for viewing on a PC and their video playback device (hence the odd 352x288 frame size).
    So this is what I'm doing, I just need to know if I'm doing this right before I hand it to my client so I can avoid problems with formats ect.
    -First I imported the footage from the P2 card and edited it in it's native format and timeline.
    -Once finished, I export to its native format (QuickTime, Current Settings, self-contained). This creates a file size of 1.7GB.
    -I create a new sequence at 352x288 with Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as the codec (I just guessed here) and imported the self-contained video.
    -I shrink the video to fit the smaller frame and then render and export again using the current settings (352x288 with Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as the codec). Its now 4.4GB (Why is it bigger than the larger framed original file?)
    The video looks great but I'm still worried about whether my client will be able to play it back via QuickTime on PC and I'd like the file size smaller so it's easier to deliver.
    Any help to simplify or correct this workflow would be greatly appreciated.
    LP

    You don't need to go through the double export process. You can either place the edited and rendered 720p sequence in the 352x288 sequence and then export, or you can scale the image down on export in the QuickTime Conversion export module, or in Compressor. Any QuickTime can read uncompressed video.

  • Is there someone at Verizon that still cares about their customers and will help make this right??

    I have spent hours on two phone calls and a chat session regarding a billing discrepancy that is THE FAULT OF VERIZON and still no final resolution.  My bill is due in 3 days and I want this resolved now because I don't want to not pay a bill on time because it won't be corrected in time and then my credit rating will fall due to THE FAULT OF VERIZON.  I have been working on this problem for OVER TWO WEEKS and TWICE have been told that it was all set and that billing was being told to credit my account, yet STILL NO CREDIT HAS HAPPENED.  One rep gave me his email address so that I could follow up with him in case something went wrong with the credit.  I have emailed him and GUESS WHAT?  NO RESPONSE.  I have been a loyal Verizon customer for over 15 years with all bills always PAID ON TIME and THIS IS HOW I GET TREATED??   NOT FAIR.  This is so unlike me to write something like this in a forum, but I have had it after receiving THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER.  WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW TO GET HELP?  Is no one at Verizon support HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR VERIZON MISTAKES??  A VERIZON representative listened to what I needed for business travel and they gave me the added feature that they assured me would be what I needed, and apparently it wasn't right. Is it my fault that a Verizon representative does not know the right answers to how their features work and now I am expected to pay OVER $300 EXTRA BECAUSE OF THEIR MISTAKE?  When I take the advice of a Verizon rep I expect they know what they are talking about and that the advice is accurate.  APPARENTLY THIS ISN'T TRUE.
    Is there someone at Verizon that still cares about their customers and will help make this right??

    After ANOTHER call I may be on track to resolving this.  But WHY did it have to take several calls and chats over a two week period?  WHY did I have to become a mean person to the representative on the phone to finally get this (partially) straightened out?  Why does it need to come to that?  I really don't want to have to get mean and get myself worked up just to get a billing problem straightened out that is VERIZON'S fault.
    Verizon, please consider looking into your lack of proper customer support and make corrections.  Even though this may be resolved, After 15 years of being a Verizon customer I will be considering another carrier when my contract runs out and all due to this horrible customer service experience.

    This error happens when I try to import into Dreamweaver. Sorry, I wasn't clear on that earlier.
    I thought maybe it was because I had saved my image as a png. So re-saved as a svg, still get the error.
    DO I have a setting is Dreamweaver CC that is wrong? Should I try this in Dreamweaver CS6? I might try that next.
    Why is this program so difficult? I know Flash. I know After Effects. I can work the timeline part just great. It's always in the export that I have problems.

  • I am trying to change the Apple ID on my I phone and my Wife's I phone.  Is it possible to keep our contacts, calander, and photos by doing this?  We do not care about our music or apps.  Is this possible?

    I am trying to change the Apple ID on my I phone and my Wife's I phone.  Is it possible to keep our contacts, calander, and photos by doing this?  We do not care about our music or apps.  Is this possible?

    Photos should be copied to the computer and synced back via iTunes.  They are unrelated to the Apple ID unless you are using PhotoStream.
    Depending on how the contacts are synced the the device, chaging the Apple ID may wipe them.
    Why do you want to change the Apple ID?  If it's an email address change, simply change the email associated with the Apple ID.  Do NOT create a new Apple ID.

  • TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

    when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
    DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Can someone please verify if I'm doing this right?

    OBJECTIVE:
    Write a program that asks a user to enter in one input, either "true" or "false". Simulate the NOT gate in this program. After the user has entered in an input, ask them if they would like to continue or not; continue the program if they reply 'y' and stop if they reply 'n'.
    I think this program is pretty easy, but I am not sure if I am doing it right. My understanding of the NOT gate is that if someone enters in something, it must be the opposite. So since the user is only being asked one question, and to only answer "true" or "false", the answer would be opposite to what they input right? Below is the source code of my program for the above objective, please check to see if it is right :).
    // The "Chap3Program12" class.
    import java.awt.*;
    import hsa.Console;
    public class Chap3Program12
        static Console c;           // The output console
        public static void main (String [] args)
            c = new Console ();
            String input;
            char response;
            do
                c.println ("Please enter either 'true' or 'false'");
                input = c.readString ();
                c.println ();
                if (!(input.equals ("true")))
                    c.println ("You have entered " + input + ".  The result is true.");
                else
                    c.println ("You have entered " + input + ".  The result is false.");
                c.println ();
                c.println ("Do you wish to stop y/n?");
                c.println ();
                response = c.readChar ();
            while (response != 'y');
            c.println ();
            c.println ("This program has terminated.  Have a nice day!");
        } // main method
    } // Chap3Program12 class

    Sorry, I didnt post that properly, let me repost it.
    I compiled it and it works, but Im not sure if i am using my NOT gate properly, and if my program is satisfying the Objective.
    if (!(input.equals ("true")))           
    c.println ("You have entered " + input + ".  The result is true.");           
    else           
    c.println ("You have entered " + input + ".  The result is false.");           
    }If not true = false, then that means my if statement is wrong? My if statement says: If input is NOT equal to true, then the result is true. Shouldn't the result be false then? If not false = true, then that means my statement after else needs to be changed, because if not false = true, the result should be true, not false?
