Remove ;# from Workflow Email

Hi,
I have a choice column which accepts user input. I then have a workflow which sets a variable for an email using the data from the choice column.
When sending the email the text will be surrouned by ;# (i.e. ;#choice;#)
Is there a way I can remove these symbols from the workflow email?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
If you are sending the email through SharePoint designer, it seems there is an option when creating the
"Define Workflow Lookup" the "Return field as" has 2 choices "As String" and "Lookup Value (as Text)".
If you use As String then it will append the ;#. If you instead choose
Lookup Value (as Text) then it is only the value.

Items are not removed from Workflow Inbox

Hi all,
Im having problem with our workflow. Below are the details
SCENARIO:
User A creates a PR. The PR is then forwarded to user B for approval. Once the PR is approved by user B, it is forwarded back to user A for notification purposes. User A then executes the PR and it is automatically forwarded to user C for processing.
THE PROBLEM:
When user B approves the PR, his/her inbox should be cleared once the PR is forwarded to user A. The problem is that, out of the 45 line items present in the PR, only 38 lines were cleared from the inbox. The remaining 7 items were retained. However, when we try to view the PR from user A, there are 45 line items and they are complete.
QUESTION:
What causes the 7 line items to be retained in user A's inbox? How do we clear them?
Any output will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
The user B approved the PR accessing the transaction SBWP or via PR transaction directly?
If via PR transaction directly, then your workflow needs a Wait Event step.

Kleber

Attachments automatically removed from emails on IPad the email

When I receive emails the attachments are being automatically removed from the email on my IPad. I have LotusNotes Traveler for my work email. Any suggestions on what the problem is and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated

When I set up an email account on the iPad 4 (6.1.3), it took my information and defaulted the setup as an IMAP account. It had always been a POP account but there was no option now to set it up as a POP. Those tabs at the top were gone.
Before, I would receive the email in my inbox, read it and close it. It would stay in my inbox until I deleted it. Now, since it's an IMAP acount, as soon as I read my email on the PC (which downloads it from the server), it disappears from the iPad! I couldn't find a way to change it back to a POP.
This is how i solved it:
1. Delete the existing IMAP account
2. Add the same account but give it a bad password thereby preventing iOS setting it up as IMAP
3. At that point, it gave me the tabs where i could choose to set it us as POP. I changed the 'Incoming Server' to the POP address, entered the correct password and saved it. It verified the settings as POP and all is good with the world. Now my emails don't disappear from the iPad after I read them on the PC.
I'm not sure when or why the option for IMAP/POP disappeared from the initial setup screen & why it defaults to IMAP. Maybe it's back in iOS7.. maybe i should update.
(My email is a Cox account and I guess it can be either an IMAP or POP)

Remove content from workflow

I received a request to remove content from workflow.
If the content is rejected, we still want to save it in case needed later.
So my plan was to change the contect type, and approve the content.
But the only way I can see to approve, is to go to the active workflow, and approve through all the steps.
Emails are sent to the approvers at each step. I would like to avoid workflow emails for these moved items.
Thanks

You can not update SG during Criteria WF. So forget about that one...
Why not use the update event in the WF to watch for a particular flag to be set in metadata - e.g. xWithdrawFromWorkflow if this is set to true (in an Update) then use the wfExit fucntion to get out of the WF immediately without approval. Otherwise there is little to separate a real approval from an approval that was performed just to get an item out of WF.

HT5361 I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do this by year instead of laboriously doing it one message at a time?

I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do so by year rather than slowly removing one message at a time? Many thanks.

Another option is to create a smart mailbox that includes emails with date received before a desired date.
Then, select one message in the Smart Mailbox and cmd-A to select all. Then delete.

Delete emails from server when removed from phone inbox

I want my server (Verizon Yahoo) to trash and delete messages when I trash or delete them on my 5s. I have gone into my Verizon account on the phone, made sure Trash was selected rather than Archive, selected "Delete from server..."when removed from inbox"", restarted, etc. Everything else works in the account, and when I delete on the server, it is deleted on the phone. I want emails to delete from the server when I remove them from the phone's inbox. Supposed to happen, but doesn't.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't very clear, I guess. What I want to do is Trash or Trash>Delete emails on my iPhone 5s and have them go away from the inbox on my Verizon/Yahoo server. That does not happen now, even though I have set the setting on my phone to do so. All the stuff in my inbox on the server reappears the next time my phone inquires, including the emails I've sent to Trash (on the phone) and those I've Trash>Deleted there. Not too worried about permanent, real, NSA-type deletion, because that just isn't going to happen - I am worried about the poor agent at NSA who has to read my boring, mundane emails, though. I just don't want to see stuff I've Deleted from my phone's inbox come back to the inbox. Zombiemail!

How do I remove an OWA email account from my E71

I need to work out how to remove a OWA email account from my E71. I have seen various replies for removing email account but not for OWA.
I have already looked in Installations --> Emailon3 --> but the account I want to delete is not listed there.
Have also tried Communic. --> Messaging --> Options --> Settings --> E-mail --> Options --> Delete but the delete option is not there.
I need to remove the account because I changed my account password at work and then was unable to update the password in the phone, I had to install the account a second time to get it working again. Any suggestions for avoiding this in the future also gratefully received!
Thanks!

In the Messaging application, it seems from your description that you didn't go deep enough: Options > Settings > E-mail > Mailboxes.
There choose/select/highlight the mailbox you wish to delete and hit 'C' (or Options > Delete).

?How do I Remove RSS Feeds from my Email account?

I set up some RSS feeds in my mac email account?
Please don't tell me to "right-click" my mouse because I am using a macbook and I have no mouse, just the track-pad and right-clicking it does nothing different than left-clicking it. Or for that matter, than standing on my head and singing Celine Dion. Other than annoying my girlfriend.
I have tried setting my preferences to manual update, even to making Safari the default RSS reader but I can't remove the feeds themselves from the email account.
I have a Macbook, use Safari, Leopard, OS X 10.5 if that helps.
Thanks in advance,
Keith

Dude, first the right-click thing... You can achieve the equivalent by holding down the control key and clicking -- you'll see a contextual menu pop up. Cool, huh?
Now, control-click on that unwanted RSS feed and choose delete feed. Happy day!

How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?

How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?
Pretty much the the email that I used (but didn't verify) to create my iCloud account was hacked and now I can't remove it from my iCloud account due to the iCloud password also being changed by the same person and the fact I had "Find my iPhone" app on my phone also??? I had to change my iTunes email as well but that was far easier so yeah :S.
Please help. I live in NZ, out in the country, so reception is rare and so is getting into the nearest town that has an Apple Store.
Thanks

If you truly change your existing Apple ID's email address to a new email address, follow these instructions: iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
If you created a whole new Apple Account because you couldn't access the old one after being hacked, you will need to contact the Apple Account Security Team. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Workflow 2013 is not removed from library after retract

Hello.
I created a test workflow 2013 in VS 2013, while adding this workflow to the project I selected document library for it and also selected pre-created tasks and history lists.
I deployed the worklow from VS project menu, then started it manually in the library, worflow completed successfully.
After it I called "Retract" from VS project menu, it completed without errors, but teh workflow stayed in library. Then I deployed it again, went to the library workflow settings, removed the workflow, retracted it again using VS project menu.
But, now when I go to library - workflow setings - add workflow, I still can see there my workflow option (though the solution is retracted and feature is removed from site collection).
What should I do to remove it?

OK, here are the log entries for solution deploy and retract:
