System deleting mail default settings

Each time mail updates its software the system automatically deletes my settings for my pop mail (which is the default) and replaces it with my @me account which I no longer subscribe to. Thus when I log in I am not connected to the net.This has happened three times. Can anyone help me with this - have I got some setting somewhere with @me as the default?

[SOLVED] GRUB DEFAULT settings not working

Hi to everyone,
after a system update the default settings for grub is not working. It still booting automatically to first occurrence...
This is what grub-customizer sees:

Hi,
Check /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and in your case you should set:
set default="4"
Take in mind it's zero-based.
Beware, you should be doing this modifying /etc/default/grub and rebuilding your config file with grub-mkconfig; see the wiki for more details on how to do it.

Horrible, irresponsible default setting for Thunderbird re: deleting mail from POP server

Yesterday I downloaded and booted an ISO of Linux Mint 16 because I was curious about the current state of Linux and whether it would make sense to finally switch from Windows. The OS booted and ran without any major issues and seemed generally well-polished.
Then I ran Thunderbird and did a quick setup of my POP3 e-mail account (provided by GoDaddy) using the default configuration, which I assumed would be appropriately configured for someone who wanted to give Thunderbird a test-run. I waited a few minutes while Thunderbird downloaded all the e-mail messages from GoDaddy's server and then I spent some time poking around with the program. Seemed fine.
Unfortunately, I did not realize until after rebooting my system into Windows that Thunderbird was configured by default to delete all my e-mail messages from the server upon download, and I was shocked to find that I could no longer access my old messages via my Android phone. That's several months worth of important e-mails that Thunderbird unceremoniously wiped from my mail server without so much as a warning.
This is a horribly irresponsible way to configure Thunderbird's default settings and I'm sure I'm not the only person who has gotten burned in this manner. Needless to say it has soured me not just on Thunderbird but on Linux in general as a desktop OS. As an attorney I frequently need to review previously-read e-mail messages in my account and your mail client's default settings have caused me a major inconvenience. I strongly suggest that you alter Thunderbird's default configuration to leave downloaded messages on the server in order to avoid upsetting users in the future.

Thank you for your suggestions, but I had booted Mint directly from the DVD and had not installed it. I was simply testing it out. Thunderbird was remarkably easy to configure - I just gave it my e-mail address, name, and password and it figured out the rest. But nowhere did it indicate that it would remove downloaded messages from my mail server by default, hence my shock and dismay.
I sincerely hope that somebody within Mozilla will acknowledge that this is a problem and change the default settings.

Deleted account settings = deleted MAIL !?!?!?!?!? (NO!!!!!)

Please tell me there's a way to recover my email messages!!!
We changed web-hosts this week and so (after waiting a few days for DNS to repoint and getting confirming email from new provider that email account of same name was now set-up) I changed the previous Mail settings to the new POP/SMTP settings they sent me, but.... no go.
After a few rounds with our tech and theirs it was mentioned that accounts in Apple's Mail "seem to not to like to be changed.... rather just add a new account with the new email server settings. I did this and.... VIOLLA! Worked/works.
So, assuming that i am looking JUST (there in MAIL==>PREFERENCES==>ACCOUNTS at mail account SETTINGS and NOT that has anything to do with the messages in my InBox, I just deleted the old "account" and closed Pref's
Inbox USED to have 1300+ emails from 3 POP account.
After deleting the account icon for that old (and non-functining) settings: 220!
WHERE ARE ALL MY EMAILS FOR THE SAME ACCOUNT JUST WITH DIFFERENT SERVER SETTINGS???
*as i wait for help from SMARTER people than me (guess that's no saying much, eh?) here i am promising NOT to emtpy system trash of MAIL app trash, and PRAYING that that might help some course of rescue.
Standing, (VERY) nervously by,

Hello David.
Before deleting an account in Tiger Mail, the following warning message is provided:
Are you sure you want to remove the (account type here) account “XXXXXXXXXX”?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Copies of messages on the mail server, if they exist, are not affected.
This is usually ignored or not completely understood but is based on the Mail.app filing structure so now the long winded answer for the reason.
Many other email clients utilize a single large database file which is not dependent on individual account and associated mailbox filing. When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) is created in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail using the Finder. For POP type accounts, the following mailbox (mbox) folders are created within the account named folder when the function is used by the account: INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (when Junk mail is set to automatic). The mbox folders within the account named folder represent the account named mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (when Junk mail is set to automatic) in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer.
When deleting an account in Mail, the account named folder at Home > Library > Mail is deleted at that time and as the warning message indicates, the associated account mailboxes within the account named folder are also deleted. You must select OK after the warning message appears.
It would be preferable for the account named folder to be moved to the hard drive Trash can which requires an additional step to delete but this is not what occurs.
To have any hope of recovering your data, you need to immediately stop using your system and then purchase a copy of a recovery tool such as Tech Tool Pro (Micromat) or Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering), both of which have data recovery tools. I've not used Data Rescue, but I've seen reports that it recovers files that the others cannot, so it might be your best hope. The chances generally aren't really good even so, but short of sending your drive to a data recovery service (expensive), such utilities are your only hope.
Note that the more you use your system before you attempt recovery, the more likely it is that the system will overwrite the sections of the drive where the data you want to recover is stored, rendering it unrecoverable by any means. You should therefore stop using the system completely until you get and try to use one of the file recovery tools.
This also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a regular backup of the Mail folder and other important data.

IBook deleted Mail settings, Safari settings and iPhotos

I woke up this morning, without a blue moon in my eyes, to find that my computer has reset itself to its factory state. This may have been self-perpetuated as I decided to clear my hard drive of music last night but, as far as I am aware, I deleted only music and .zip files I had downloaded from the internet.
As I am sure you are all aware, this is a collossal disappointment and a poor way to begin a Friday. My question is, not surprisingly, can anyone help me? I have recently transferred from Windows and would be delighted to learn of an OSX system restore. I haven't come across it in my time with Mac so some assistance would be greatly appreciated. I will be forever grateful to the person that provides help.

If you switch on your mac and all your preferences have been reset to default this would suggest that you may have renamed your home folder. Then when your mac starts up it cant find your home folder to recreates a new one with default settings.

Advanced sync settings - deleting mail from Itouch not working

There's a new setting in Syncing in iTunes under Info tab that offers a chance to delete mail, bookmarks etc on my iTouch and update from puter, but doesn't work. Emails still on touch - have to delete manually. Any ideas?

Hi there-unfortunately I flagged this on here way back when the phone had only been out a few days.Nokia support were hopeless and eventually told me to take it to a Nokia shop(there isn't one locally) so I dug my heels in and they got an 'expert' to phone me. Basically the answer is you can't take them off the phone the delete from phone is useless and a waste of time because it does nothing. I have lost a lot of emails trying and the only way to get rid of them is to either remove from server too and re synchronise(which you may not want to do-like me !) or remove them on your email account and re synchronise the phone and they go. Apparently the way it connects to the server on this model it is the only way they can do it!! Complete rubbish- I like the phone but this is completely stupid. Sorry it's not want you want to hear but they do know about it and it is designed that way not a bug!

Restoring the default settings for Audition CS6

Fortunately you don't have to uninstall and reinstall Audition to do this - although that's certainly an option. Bear in mind that doing this will only work if you choose to delete your preferences as part of the process.
There are several other options though, and I suggest reading through all of them before deciding which to use. We'll start, though, with the other simple one. If you start Audition with the 'shift' key held down, this will achieve the same result - the preference files won't be read, and the default (aka 'vanilla') ones will be reinstated. Certainly with a Mac (and probably a PC as well) you have to hold the 'shift' key down at least until the splash screen appears, otherwise it might not work.
From here on, it gets a little more complicated, but you get more options. The reason for this is that in order to get at the individual preference files, we have to consider three different operating systems, XP, Windows 7, and OS X. By default, in all of them, the location of these files is hidden, and you have to reveal it. When you have done this, the path and files will be revealed.
Revealing hidden folders:
XP: In a folder, go to Tools>Folder Options>View and scroll down to the hidden folders entry. Select the 'Show' option. The path to the Preferences folder is C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\5.0
Windows 7: In a folder, go to Organise>Folders and Search Options>View, and then it's the same as XP. The path to the Preferences folder is c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0
Mac OX: The Preferences are in a library folder, and are apparently stored twice. The locations of them are:
/Users/[User_Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
/Users/[User_Name]/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.Audition.5.0.plist
There is a note about this at the end of this FAQ*.
Anyway, there are, apparently, several ways to unhide them:
1. The easiest way to get there without opening Terminal is to open Finder or click on your desktop, click Go in the menu bar, then hold down the OPTION/ALT key. You should see Library appear in the menu as long as your holding that key and clicking the menu item will bring it up in Finder.
2. Use Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop (or Finder>Go>Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library to temporarily access the Library directory. When you have finished manipulating the relevant parts of it, close this window and the folder will no longer be visible.
3. To make the Library folder visible permanently (like in OS 10.6 and earlier), open the Terminal application and use the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
What do you have to do when you've revealed the folder?
The basic idea is that if Audition opens, and it doesn't find a particular file in the preferences folder, it recreates it. So, you can either delete all the files in it (the same as Shift+open), or you can be more selective. Primarily there are three .xml files that you are interested in, and if you are only having a problem with one of them, then that's the only one you need to delete.
Application Settings - deleting this will restore most of the settings in the program itself back to defaults
Effect Presets - deleting this will restore default settings, but if you have made any of your own presets, you will lose these too.
Favorites - the same as Effect Presets, only for the Favorites list.
There is also an .xml file for Machine-specific settings, but this only affects your sound device, and generally would be rewritten anyway if anything changed, so generally doesn't need to be touched. Mainly it's the three I mention above that are the ones you will be interested in.
* A note from Durin about the Mac preferences files:
"The directory path, ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/ is where we store all the preferences, presets, workspaces, log files, etc. Anything and everything a user may need access to. The .plist file is more of an application/OS level preferences - similar to an ini or registry entry in that it's less user-facing and more preferences for how the application works with the OS. In Audition's case, this stores information such as the last directory accessed, File Open/Save dialog dimensions, and other mysterious prefs that are just random GUIDs that Audition and OS X understand.
In either case, if the directory or .plist is missing, it will be rebuilt on launch to the first-launch defaults."

The success of setting the correct cassette will depend on the applications you use. If the apps are set to use any cassette, rather than call a particular cassette, then making cassette 2 the default will succeed. But if the app calls cassette 1, then no amount of driver default settings will help. So in this case, you will have more success if you create another preset for printing to cassette 2, then you can ensure you select this preset when you want to print on plain paper. And of course you can select the envelope preset when you want to do this.
If you do want to look at modifying the printer defaults, this can be done via the CUPS web page.
To access CUPS, open Safari and type
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
This will open the CUPS Printer administration page and will show all the printers currently configured on the Mac. For the printer that you wish to change the defaults for, click its name in the Queue Name column.
Clicking the printer name will open the printer administration page for that printer. Here you need to click on the Administration drop menu and then select Set Default Options.
This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General. Scroll down the list until you find an entry like "Paper Source" or something similar that shows the cassettes and select Cassette 2.
With the option selected you then need to scroll down the list to the bottom of the page where you will see the ‘Set Default Options’ button. Click this button and you will then be presented with an authentication window. Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
Now you can open an application and select to print and then check the appropriate paper source menu to see if cassette 2 is the default.

How to rollback to default settings in Discoverer Desktop?

Hi all,
I have a small question. I want to get back to default settings (Settings when it first installed on the machine) in Discoverer Desktop. I changed lot of settings some known and some unknown. Can anybody please help me to rollback to my default settings. I will be very thankful to you all.
Thanks.

Hi
There's no easy way to do this. The settings are stored in the system registry, editing of which is fraught with danger if you are inexperienced in working with the registry.
Out of the box, the ones you are most likely to have changed are below and I have included the defaults:
In Application:
CacheFlushPercentage - 25
DocumentOrigin - 2
MaxVirtualDiskMem - 4096000000
MaxVirtualHeapMem - 4096000000
QueryBehavior - 0
ViewType - 1
In Database:
You can safely delete all entries that begin with AEUL, ARESP and UEUL - these will get added again as you begin to work
DisableAutoQuery - 0
DisableFanTrapDetection - 0
DisableMultiJoinDetection - 0
ItemClassDelay - 15
ObjectsAlwaysAccessible - 1
QPPEnabled - 0
RewriteIntegrity - 0
SQLType - 0
UseOptimizerHints - 0
You can generally leave the rest alone.
If you have any other settings that you are concerned about please let me know
Do you have a copy of my Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook? If not I would strongly recommend getting it. Pages 786 to 799 discuss all of the preferences, states what the default is and describes what the valid settings are.
Even though I am the author of the book and yes I would get some royalties that is not why I recommend it. I recommend it because it is the official Oracle Press book on Discoverer. There are more than 1000 pages packed full of advice, tips and tricks. My wife and I spent over 9 months putting the book together. We also worked close with Oracle to make sure that the book was accurate.
Best wishes

Deleted Mail?

Greetings! Hopefully, not everybody is reading and posting to the "Version 1.0.1 is available" post!!! At least take a break and check this out: There is an option to choose when the Deleted Email in any Mail account will be removed, under Advanced in the Settings. I set my default email account to removed the Deleted Messages "after one day". I assumed that iPhone was doing just that. Wrong! I just went to the Trash for my default account and found like 200 emails just sitting there! I have just spent the last no-telling-how-long manually deleting these already deleted emails! Ugh. I sure pray that Apple would provide an Empty Trash button!!!! Please! Yes, I have sent this request to Apple, more than once. Oh, my question: Does anybody have success with this option to have deleted emails (trash) removed after "one day" or any other setting???

Hey, Rhyd! Thanks for the info. I do use Apple Mail; however, I am not concerned with deleting email from the server. I know how to do that, indeed I have checked the box to have the mail deleted from the server. Perhaps I didn't make my problem clear, in the midst of my verbosity! Here's another attempt:
When I delete email on the iPhone, the message goes into the Trash. In the preferences for Mail on the iPhone, one can set the time variable for the iPhone Mail to delete all the messages in the Trash. I have set this variable at "After One Day". I would assume this means that the iPhone Mail app would then delete all the messages stored in Trash after one day (just based on logic and common sense). Well, this is not happening. As I attempted to describe in my first post, I just checked my Trash on my iPhone Mail default account and there were many messages there several days or weeks old! So, I am wondering, indeed questioning the working of this feature? My question was if this is happening to anyone else?

Does anyone know a way to modify "Default Settings" printer preset?

I use enough different presets that I find that the "Last Used" preset for printing if often what not what I really want.
(Background: I save a number of different profiles for different types of print jobs, so that I can select "Color Production" as a preset, for example, and get a number of printer settings configured as once, like Color Settings, Quality, Color, and duplexing. These are set and selected using the "Presets" picker in the Print dialog box. One can use the picker to save and view settings as well.)
Am I correct in that there doesn't seem to be a way to change the "Default Settings" preset? The "Show Presets" pick in Presets doesn't offer the ability to change the presets, and the "Default Settings" preset can't be deleted here, unlike the user set presets; it also isn't possible to save a preset as "Default Settings".
Ideally, changing the default would let me check the box to always use the default (as default), but this way I would have my own defaults. Just wondering whether I'm missing something obvious - I've tried the modifier keys trick clicking on things, and also the CUPS subsystem at localhost:631.

Ios8 will not let me delete mail only archive

I am not given the option to delet mail. Short or long swipe it only says archive. I have went to settings to change swipe but delete or trash is not an option. I have to read the email then move it to trash folder. Help?

Ok if you set your swipe options to none on both and you swipe left with a default of Archive, set your swipe right to Archive and it will give you the trash option.
