PSE 7 Disappointing Email Options...

Hi all,
I purchased PSE 7 for Windows as a gift for my wife, since PS Extended is a bit over the top for her. With all the awards and hype in the videos, I was geared up for a great program.
Some stuff is great, but some stuff is, well, kind of insane.
For example, I had to go in and create my own icons in order to avoid the welcome screen which is worse than anything Apple has come up with for in-your-face advertising and promotion. Adobe, please include an option to get rid of the welcome screen in PSE 8.
Then I had to go into the options and turn off all the promo stuff. Please include an opton on install to get rid of this garbage.
The disk crunching on a dual core with 7500 RPM and a GB of memory (not a lot, but double the requirement on the box) is way over the top when you launch the editor. PS Extended with 3D capability launches quicker on this same machine...WTF?
Last but not least, and my chief complaint, is that not only is Thunderbird missing from the Share e-mail import list (and it is our default e-mail program on my wife's machine), but you can't import .CSVs either, so there is no way to export addresses from Thunderbird and manually import into PSE! Thunderbird is a popular program. I have a MAC with PS Extended and don't know if the same problem exists on PSE 7 for MAC.
This is half Thunderbirds fault (for not having a vCard export option), but why oh why can't PSE just list Thunderbird on the e-mail program list or just have a default e-mail option and launch and email like the dumbest included-with-the-camera programs out there.
I can't believe I now have to manually enter about 500 addresses on PSE as part of my wife's gift. There has GOT to be a workaround!
Ugh...

Thanks, Barb_O
Your response is well thought-out, and I offer these thoughts for further consideration:
We never know what subset of what pictures will go to what subset of friends or contacts.
Not everyone we know is interested in logging on to a remote site to get access to photos. In fact, I myself resist doing it most times. If the site requires me to register or log-in to see pictures, unless I am truly interested, I often will just pass. Most of my family and friends are on Facebook. Why do I want yet another photo service when I can view albums and comment on my whole social network right on FB? If I want to print something, I just request it on FB, and my friend or relative sends me the file. Simple, unless they are using PSE 7.
I've used the process for e-mailing attached pictures that you describe, and it works well, but one of the points of buying a World Class amateur photo processing application (PSE 7), was to make life EASIER for my wife, not to have to make her jump through hoops that are done automatically by the dumbest, most basic photo apps out there. I mean come ON, this is ADOBE, and emailing attachments from within a program using the default email app (in this case one of the most popular in the world) ...well, let's just say it is SILLY that it is missing.
Thanks again for your response. My fantasy is that some or all of these issues are solved in PSE 8, and that becuase I just bought PSE 7, I will get a good discount on 8, and it will be more like Apple's Aperture in speed and overall system compatibility/performance when it comes out. It is a program with a great feature set, and solving the speed and workflow issues will really send it to the top of the pile.
Best,
Mark

"Attach to Email" option launches outlook rather than default mail client

The "Attach to Email" option luanches outlook rather than Seamonkey, which is set to be the default mail client. Any ideas regrding fixing this would be most appreciated. This is Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO v. 9.0.0 running on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium 4.0 GB machine.
Thanks,

Not sure but this might be a Windows Control Panel Issue.

Can't send Excel 2007 File via Send To Email Option after Acrobat Install

Normally, you can send an Excel 2007 file via email to someone by going to the Send option on the Excel file menu and choosing "Email." This will email an actual copy of the Excel 2007 file. However, since installing Adobe Acrobat 9 pro on my computer, this option, as well as the option to send to XPS are gone -- the only email option I have on that menu is to convert the file to a PDF and email it.
It seems to me that Acrobat should ADD options to menus but not remove any! Does anyone know how I can get those missing options (especially the one to email the actual file itself) back? I've tried Googling up a solution, but to no avail so far.
Thanks, in advance, for any help!
Laura

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Aditya!
I saw that MS support article when I was trying to solve this issue on my own, but the solutions it proposes won't work for me -- I can't set Outlook as my email client (this is a work computer and we use Lotus Notes) and I can't muck around in the registry (again, this is a work computer). I know I can attach the Excel via the attach command in the email client, but the main thing is I don't understand why Acrobat has removed that option from the Excel menu. Also, it removed the Send to XPS option (which I don't really care about, but it bothers me because it shouldn't be deleting anything)!
I even tried adding the Email command to the Quick Access Toolbar in Excel -- it let me add the button, but, when I click it, absolutely nothing happens.

Why is there no email option under site settings in the Business Catalyst Dashboard?

I have pushed a site live, and it has propegated, and looks fine on the Internet, but there is no email option under site settings in the Business Catalyst Dashboard as the tutorial and help screen said there would be.
The domains all look correct, and there is an MX record as well. Did email get moved to another screen, or is there something wrong in my setup?

On the page found at ttp://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/setup-pop-imap-email-accounts.html
it says that there should be a "users" field under "Site Settings," and that is where email accounts are set up. There is not, any more than there was a "email" field as referenced in the tutorial (as you can see from the screen shot above). I can no longer correspond with Adobe, since my primary email address on file with Adobe was with the domain that was transferred to Business Catalyst.

Photoshop premiere elements 13 no email option under share PC

I created a trade show ad using photoshop elements premiere 13. I need to email this project, yet there is no email option to choose from the list under "share" I specified outlook as my email client and I'm using a pc. Any help would be great. Thanks

valbom
Premiere Elements comes with an Elements Organizer, and it is that Elements Organizer/Share that has had the Photo Mail and Email Attachments choices.
In Elements Organizer 13/Share that comes with Premiere Elements 13, Photo Mail and Email Attachments names are gone from the list under Share and only
"Email" is seen. Using this Email choice, you can email photos and videos as attachments. You will get a warning message if the file size exceeds 10 MB, but I have been able to send a 25 MB video, using Gmail in preferences and sending it to myself at my Gmail address. The size issue goes to the Internet provider limitations rather than the Share feature. Although the email was "successfully" sent at that size, I am still trying to verify that I will receive it.
What I found a challenge was setting up this "Email" in preferences. With Email Clients = AOL, Gmail, Yahoo!Mail, or Microsoft Account (HotMail), there should not be any problems since the user is not asked to specify a Server Name or Port. But, if you have to go to "Other" and give those details, problems. I am going to be writing this up in my blog within the next 24 hours. The blog will have more details....most important I will write how to clear the mess after you go to Other and have a list of non working Email Profiles that refuse to delete within the preference area.
What are the details of your situation? What Email client do you want to use? And, will an Email attachment serve your purposes.
To be continued....

Can anyone demystify the PSE Organizer catalog backup options?

I need to backup my catalog--preferably just my catalog, not all my pictures (the picture files themselves are already backed up). More accurately, I would like my automated online backup service (Carbonite) to back up my PSE Organizer catalog for me, just as it has already backed up my pictures. But the catalog is in some caddywompus location that Carbonite doesn't back up by default. I think I can manually override Carbonite's default settings and tell it to back that location up anyway, if I only knew where and what files to look for.
If I click on Help > System Info..., PSE tells me my catalog is located in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\clayscatalog. It doesn't go all the way to the file level, just down to that last folder, which shares the name of my catalog. But I have no idea which file inside of that folder is my catalog, or what to backup. Inside that folder called clayscatalog, there are the following items:
BreezeData(folder)
CAXMPFiles(folder)
syncdb(folder)
backupCt.dat
catalog.pse9db
collstatus.dat
face.thumb.9.cache
itemData.mk4
rmf.3.cache
tagstatus.dat
thumb.5.cache
watch.2.cache
Which of these files/folders should I be targeting for backup, all of them? And which would I browse to find in order to restore my catalog if my computer ever crashed and I needed to do a restore? Assuming all my photos are backed up and able to be restored to the same folder hierarchy, I assume one of these files/folders is going to have that information and be able to restore everything easily, preserving all my photo ratings, captions, tags, etc., right?
It would seem to make sense for the PSE to offer the option when you choose Backup from the file menu to back up all your catalog data only, as opposed to only having the option to backup everything, including all the picture files. Because I'm sure many people, like me, already have their picture files backed up and don't have need for that. Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.
Clay

First, short answer : the catalog consists in the whole folder you found. All those files are used in the organizer, but the .cache files which may have a big size will be regenerated by the organizer if they are deleted. The problem is this operation may be very long, so you will be better if you save everything;
If you use the backup and restore feature in the Organizer, you'll only have only to tell the restore process where your backup (of everything, files and folders) is located.

You will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use steps 1 to 7 half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Share via email option - can more stationery be added or downloaded

I use the share via email option quite frequently. When you get the step where you select the background stationery I'm always frustrated that there aren't more options. Case in point - Christmas background? Halloween background? Can more stationery be added or downloaded or customized? Am I the only one with this problem?

Ok... so I'm an idiot: in Pages it works fine - I mistook the grayed out 'send via email' option for a normally clickable item, while it's just a header for the three (non-grayed-out) formats which you can send via email.
The problem stands for Word for Mac though - I promise!
thanks again

PSE 8 No Email Program Error When Sending an Email

Hi Everyone,
I have a student who has a pretty new computer running Win 7 with PSE 8. She has set up her email sharing with Adobe Services and has received/entered the verification code. However, when trying to send an email, she gets the following error message as soon as she hits Send.
"There is no e-mail program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
Running PSE 8 as an administrator does not correct the problem. I thought that when you are using Adobe Email Service, you did not need an email program, like OL or Microsoft Mail. ??
TIA Don S.

No, I never did get an answer.
To be honest I cannot remember if my student resolved their problem. I have never had that specific error message, and the last time I checked PSE 8 was emailing fine. HOWEVER, just yesterday, the only way I could send email from within PSE 7 was to not include any names from the PSE Contact list. This always caused PSE 7 to crash for both OL and Adobe Email Service, Photo Mail or Attachments. I have not checked PSE 8 yet.
I found out about the PSE 7 problem from a friend using OL. For her, it was working but all of a sudden, began to crash PSE 7.
Does anyone know if PSE 7/8 connects with Adobe while emailing, even if OL is used as the email client?
Don S.

Where are the email options like SendNow had?

My inbox is getting pick up notices from recipients who've accessed the links that I've sent them. I don't want or need these pick up notices filling by inbox. Where are the email options like SendNow had?
More importantly, why did Adobe get rid of a wonderful product... I'd pay more to get the old service back!!
Thx, JG

Hi jgriffenJTC,
You can disable notifications on a per-file basis. Please see View a file's tracking information in the Adobe Send Getting Started document.

Urgent !!! Line breaks using Oracle email option

Dear All,
I need an urgent help. My query is some what confusing so please do let me know if you need any clarification.
What I want to do is that I am using the Oracle email option. when I perform a backup the server sends an email to all the concerned authorities. It is fine till this stage. Infact that message that I am sending in the email is a TWO row query in the database. To display this message on SQL prompt is ok as it will appear in TWO lines. But in the email these two rows appear to have concated.
What i want to achieve is that each row should appear in separate line in the email as well. just like using the HTML tag <BR>, the next line is displayed in the next line. Is there any SQL command which I can use to solve my problem.
I would appreciate an urgent response as I am already short of time.
With best regards.
Khurram.

I used to declare a varchar variable for end of line like this:
EOL VARCHAR2(10) := CHR(13) || CHR(10);
Then I have concatenated this variable any time when I needed like this.
'First line'||EOL||'Second line'
Take care, email RFC specifies that a new line is composed from a carriage return a new line "\r\n", so you must use both CHR(13) and CHR(10), Oracle equivalent for \r and \n.

Desktop Software 4.7 - 8350i - No email options

I'm trying to remove the signature on my Curve 8350i and I need to do it with the Desktop Software 4.7 which came with the phone because the signature cannot be edited or deleted on the phone itself.
The technical support says to click "email options" on the desktop software but I only have the following options...
"Application Loader"
"Media"
"Back Up and Restore"
"Syncronize"
"Device Switch Wizard"
Any help?

In cases your email signature is set on your BIS (Blackberry Internet Service) account - do the following:
Login to you BIS site for your wireless provider. If you don't know address check this list
Edit your email account
Delete all text from "signature" field to remove signature from your emails.
Save changes

Can not see Email option in Delivery Extension + SSRS + SharePoint Integrated

Hi,
We are following this url to subscribe email to attach reports,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb283186(v=sql.105).aspx
while following the steps, I can't see the Email option inside the Delivery Extension. why ??
Thanks, Parth

Hi Parth,
The report server e-mail delivery extension is not configured by default. You must use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to minimally configure the extension. To set advanced properties, you must edit the RSReportServer.config file. If you cannot
configure the report server to use this extension, you can deliver reports to a shared folder instead. For the details about how to configure a report server for E-mail delivery, please see:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
