Simple question: how do I ensure my email is sync'ing with Server?

I have always used Windows Live Mail and Outlook (Express), Outlook and the syncing feature seems more obvious in those email clients. Can someone please list below the steps I need to take to make sure my email syncs-besides the obvious "get mail"-i.e., are there other ways to sync a folder with the server, if, for example, I know that one particular folder is not "up to date"-the Server has an email on it than my folder in Thunderbird doesn't. I am finding that TBird is rarely, if ever up to date (it doesn't mirror what is on my server).
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

A perhaps related problem is that when I send an email from my Thunderbird email client, I don't see it in any of the Sent folders in Thunderbird, though I do see it on my Server, in the "Sent" folder that sits right below Drafts.
However, I don't understand the difference between the two options for Sent items: if I go to Settings for my email account, and then Copies and Folders, I can check one of the two below:
1. "Sent folder on: (email account name) ''or"
2. "Other"
I've selected #1 "Place a copy in: Sent folder" for the account in question (and there is little envelope with a lock on it). If I click on that drop down arrow I see a list of my email accounts and the last item is "Local Folders".
The "Other" option as in #2 above looks like it is the Sent folder that sits right below Drafts.
When I go to my Server (web based mail) I can see my sent items in the Sent folder that sits right below Drafts, but my Q's are:
1. Why don't I see these sent emails in Thunderbird, and
2. Why are they in *that* folder (I don't mind that they are) but based on #1 or #2 above, I'd expect them to sit in that Sent folder if I chose #2 above -the colour of the square (blue) resembles the blue square of the Sent folder that sits right below Drafts. However, I chose #1 above rather than #2 yet my sent items are still going to that Sent folder that sits right below Drafts.
I'm confused...please explain in layman's terms so I can understand the difference between #1 and #2 above (Sent folder versus "Other") and so that I can understand why the sent emails are not stored/seen in any of the sent folders in Thunderbird.
Thanks!

  • Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

    Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings

    The registry method does not work with 8.1.  I found this out the hard way.  Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

  • HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

    I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

    It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
    Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
    If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
    Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

    Simple question - How do you make an onchange event occur in a select list to fire a process?
    Thanks

    1) Using ApEx Selec list on Submit Item.
    You will create a PL/SQL Process after Submit. -> Conditional Type Request = Expression1. -> Expression1 is the name of your Select List. Process Source - > Procedure you like. For example depending of your select List value you will add rows in different tables.
    2) Javascript This example will change a System parameter value when changed

  • I have several apple devices - how do I keep my email from syncing to all of them instead of just mine.  Some emails are not appropriate to show up on my kids apple products.

    I have a iphone and a ipad 2 wifi that is mine.  my kids have ipods and a ipad 2 wifi that is theirs.  How can i stop my emails from syncing to all of these devices.  I do want the emails on my device but not on the others.  I also want to clear the email off of the other devices.  Is their a way to do this without physically having the ipad in my possession.  The ipad is with my daughter at college and i do not have access to that now.  They are all syncing under my itunes account if that makes a difference.  I did change the passwords on my email accounts but not sure what to do to fix this.  Can anyone help?

    Hello Katvan12,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:

    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
    In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
    Enter the email address you want to use, then click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
    Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.

    Simple question: Are Creative Cloud apps currently or will be compatible with the new Amazon Fire phone? My friend owns one and says since it's a fairly new operating system that nothing is compatible except the Amazon apps. Is this correct and does Adobe plan to support that OS in the future?

  • Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop?

    Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop = how do I add my existing itunes from my account from my laptop to my iPhone 4.  Thanks.

    Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.  However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
    If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

  • Simple Question: How to search for a date value in SELECT

    Probabily a simple question, but in a SELECT statement, how do you do a search for a date value in the WHERE clause?
    example:
    Select * From Example
    Where date = 01/01/2001
    I know its not as simple as that, but what change has to occur to make it do what that example implies?
    Thanks In Advance.

    If you want to avoid the conversion part(to_date) you will need to specify the date in the format as ur nls date format.so the same query might not work if you change ur nls date format.
    so it is advisable to give it in general format.
    ie where date_col=to_date(01-01-2000,'dd-mm-yyyy')

  • Simple Question - How do I deploy custom taglibs to Oracle 9iAS r2?

    Simple question.
    There are lots of simple examples on JSP custom tags that have
    a .tld file, a .java file with the handler class, and a .jsp
    file that calls the custom tag to test it.
    My question is, lets say I have a .tld file, a .java file and
    a .jsp file for a tag example. How do I deploy them to
    Oracle 9iAS r2? I'd like to code an example and deploy it,
    but I'm stuck. I'm using Jdeveloper 9i, and have compiled the
    .java file and included it and the .tld in a Custom Taglib JAR.
    How is this JAR deployed to Oracle 9iAS, considering that the
    Enterprise Manager only deploys WAR and EAR files? How do
    a configure a web app to use the custom tags...
    This should be simple -- maybe its too simple so I'm stuck!

    check out ojspdemos which comes with the product.
