Problems With a Second imap Account

Hi Everyone,
I've been using an IMAP account with Gmail and Mail for a few years now, and I've been quite happy with it. (Although it doesn't seem to save messages I send online to my Sent file offline.)
But I've set up a second IMAP account and I have a couple of problems with it.
1) There's no Inbox in Mail. Under the Your Name Gmail heading, it shows All Mail, Drafts, Important, Sent Mail, Spam, Starred, Trash, Personal, Recipts, Travel, and Work. But no Inbox. So everything shows up in All Mail, including spam, duplicates, trash, and mail I send. Needless to say, this is ugly and fairly useless as an Inbox. How do I set up a real Inbox?
2) I can't get rid of anything. I made the mistake of signing up on a few places (Twitter, Ancestry.com, Archives.com), all of which send me endless piles of junk. When I highlight them and delete them they just come back in All Mail. Even when I delete them from Trash. How do I fix this?
I'm running OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.6.
Any suggestions most appreciated.
Cheers,
Giles

Frank:
To illustrate what Ethmoid described here's how I forward my domain names at GoDaddy.com:
Click to view full size
The top part is for the regular domain name forward and the bottom is for masking if you choose that option. Masking will put only your domain name in the URL window of each of your site's pages. The downside to that is visitors can only bookmark the entry page of your site. My tutorial site, toadstutorials.info, is setup that way.

Types and graphics displayed incorrect in Safari with a second User account

With my own user account (Admin) Safari works very well. With the second user account I have problems to display Websites correctly. They are only displayed in capital letters and graphics are not loaded. At first I was thinking it depends on the administration authorization or a Java Update. But either doesn't change anything.
In the meantime I install Firefox 3.0 and the same problem...
Please help me - it is such %*#
Thank you very much!

Place this folder with Word documents located in your Home folder/directory in the Shared folder for your user account at Home > Shared and this employee can do the same when wanting to share a folder or documents with you.
After doing so, this folder with Word documents will be available in this user's Shared folder when the user logs in to their account.
The Shared and Public folders let you share files with other people.
The Shared folder is located in the Users folder on your hard disk. You can use it to share files with other users on your computer. The Shared folder is set up with Read & Write permissions so that all users can open the files in this folder and copy files to the folder.
Use your personal Public folder inside your home folder to share files with other people on the network. To share information in your Public folder, you must turn on Personal File Sharing in the Sharing pane of System Preferences. Your Public folder is set up with "Read only" permissions that allow others to see and copy its contents, but not change the content.
Your Public folder also contains a Drop Box folder, which is set up so other people can copy files to your Drop Box, but they cannot see its contents.

Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Communication Problem with the second battery

Hello,
In Lenovo Solution Center it says that there is communiction problem with the second battery. I already had this problem some months ago, back then it didn't charge the second battery. I got a new one and it worked again. Now it says the same thing "communication problem", but i can charge the battery and I also can't find any other sign of something not working. But still- it seems weird that the program tells me something is wrong. Can somebody help me?
Thanks Lina

Hi, Lina

Problems with my yahoo email account using Firefox

I am using Firefox 14.0.1 and I have problems with my yahoo email account. I send an email, the receiver got a good version of my email, but when I see the same email into my sent box I see a differente text. When I use any other Internet browser, I can see a good version of my original email into the sent box.
Why???

Have you attempted an iTunes restore and setting up as a new device? Sometimes battery life issues can be caused by corrupted iOS software.

Lord K. Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple.

I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me. My messages were in folders for a lawsuit. It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea. We are talking thousands of pages! I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried. However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part. THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

Problems with my Digital Vault account

I have been having problems with my Digital Vault account lately. For about a week I was told that there was no connection with the server and then I started to receive messages that there was insufficient space left in my account to enable backups of my usual documents. I knew this was incorrect because my saved documents usually only take up around 50% of the available space.
In order to correct the problem I decided to delete all my saved copies and then re-upload them. They have all been removed but my 'My Vault' page still shows that something like 2.95 GB of the available 5 GB has been used.
I cannot understand this as my vault should be empty at the moment . Has anyone experienced similar problems ? What can I do to empty my vault so that I can reload my valued documents ?

Graphics problems with my second monitor...

Ever since I updated to Lion, I get some display problems with my second monitor (a Samsung LED XL2370).
Single windows appear darker and with bad graphics, especially when dragging from the normal monitor to the external one or openign them..
And after 'waking' my MacBook from sleep today, the background image of the normal display was missing. It was just a grey screen, but perfectly functional. And nothing changed when I checked the display settings and tried changing the background.
Any ideas??
A screenshot with both problems in it.. Acrobat Reader was sitting between two monitors, the right display is the external one

After 10.7.3 i was optimistic apple finally fixed the bug....but it seems that they were not successfull or just didn't care....
I'm seriusly really sour about the rapidly decreasing quality apple delivers.....thinking more and more about switching back to linux again....

Hi amiaba, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I can't quite tell what it's doing, but open Keychain Access in Applications>Utilities, click on your Keychain on the left, put .mac in the search bar, once you find it, double click on it and click show password.
If you have no mail in there try this with Mail quit.
Drag this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Start Mail & see if it steps you through it.
Not sure on the .uk thing, but is Date & Time>Time Zone set to the UK?

Having problem with big pond email account downloading on all devices

Hi,
Have just bought the Mac Air and am having enormous problems with emails downloading on all devices (ipad, iphone and Mac). If it downloads on one it does not download on another. I have a Telstra bigpond.net.au account. I do not want to change net.au account since I have had it since the dawn of time!
What is the most effective solution? Apple suggest using gmail as a conduit but does this work. They say it may work but do not guarantee success.
Help!

With multiple computers, POP is a royal pain. Back in the days when I had to use POP mail, my solution was to access my POP accounts only from work due to the reason you describe. Basically POP works like this: mail goes into your POP account, you access the account and download the mail onto your computer, the mail that's downloaded is deleted from the mail server. When we were using just one computer that was fine but not now.
The idea of using gmail should work. Once you are in the gmail setup window choose the Accounts tab and read the help screen under Learn More about Check mail from other accounts (using POP3) This will have gmail access your bigpond email account and move it to gmail which can be set up as IMAP so all your devices can access it 'properly'. I had this working perfectly with my work email until we finally got the go-ahead to upgrade our mail server and started using IMAP.

Problem with Mac Mail-iMap server on Hosting (Overloading Server)

Hello, I just created an account with HostGator for my business and we have 6 emails. We have imap email and our account allows us to check email once per minute per email. We have it set up to check every 5 minutes so this should not be a problem.
They then told us that there was a problem with it checking more frequently and also overloading the server by issueing 'multiple imap commands per email, 3 to 4'. I can view our server processes and sure enough each email is showing 4 imap commands. I unchecked 'use IDLE command" since I know IDLE command has something to do with it checking frequently for email.
Unfortunately we have 3 processes running on our website so once we had 24 for the 6 emails that goes over our limit of 25 and our website goes down. For now we have had to turn off most of our emails except 2 that we receive most email at which is causing major problems.
When we talked to HostGator that question was "Do you use Mac mail? Mac Mail is knowing for doing that". Since I only use Mac's I don't want to have to switch to Windows for email or use another email program like Entourage or Thunderbird. This is a frustrating issue and when I did research on Google I saw a lot of other people having this issue but didn't see any answers. Any ideas what is causing this and how I can fix it?
