Thunderbird on Ubuntu; receives duplicate imap & pop3 for same user name- how to delete imap? (says 'in use', will not allow entry into Settings)

Frontier is a telco that has changed to Yahoo mail recently.
Thunderbird on Ubuntu 14 LTS behaves somewhat differently than on a Windows machine; I can open Account Settings and will see 2 duplicate account entries in the left panel, but when I clcik on either accounts Server Settings, I only get a blocking message that says "Account Name in Use. Please enter a different account name." I'm unable to determine which is imap or pop, or delete anything...
Thanks for any help in advance!

Update to my original discussion:
If the problem persists, rinse & repeat steps from the original post.
Alternate Solution: If problem still persists and your imap email is not syncing correctly, call customer support of your email provider (in my case it was GoDaddy). Tell them the problem and ask them to do a "ReSync". Make sure your imap email account is set up on your iPhone before they perform the resync. I tried this and its been a week since I had any problems. If you're lucky this could fix other problems that are not listed in this discussion thread.
Good luck & Cheers.

How to get Reports for specific User that how many password has been reset using FIM SSPR in FIM 2010 R2 SSPR

Hi,
How to get Reports for specific User that how many password has been reset using FIM SSPR in FIM 2010 R2 SSPR
Regards
Anil Kumar

Hello there Anil,
A simple way to quickly get a overview is to look at the request history within the portal environment (note that this will expire in a few day based on your environment, after that you would need to FIM Reporting Module - but you could increase this to
maybe 60 days to so, watch the DB size).
To do this you could create some custom search scopes of do some custom queries. The creator of the SSPR activities always has the same GUID so you can use that so search.
In your search scope you can use the following XPath to play with.
- All Password Reset Requests - /Request[Creator='b0b36673-d43b-4cfa-a7a2-aff14fd90522' and Operation='Put']
- All Completed Password Reset Requests - /Request[Creator='b0b36673-d43b-4cfa-a7a2-aff14fd90522' and RequestStatus=‘Completed']
You can play with the "RequestStatus".
Hope this helps.

My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro two days ago and cannot receive my serial number; your form will not allow me to select my State for address-I have spent four hours of frustration

Acrobat X Pro has a flawed serial number application form at the point where it asks for your State, the first time. I will not allow me
to complete the form and receive my Serial Number.@

I purchased it from my University bookstore and the attending clerk was no better informed than was I.
The form is required to be infilled in order to receive the serial number necessary for installation of the software
After five hours of trying, I was able to overcome the flaw in the form, as it appeared on the Acrobat website, and
complete the two pull-down menus indicating the State in which I live.
I called Adobe Customer Care for assistance and had to wait two hours for a return call, and by the time the
call came though I had found that the website form allowed me to pull-down for the State of location.
Adobe is an uncaring vendor, once it has your money in hand.

I wana change the receiver E-mail address for security answers . How can i ?

Hi Mohammed,
You can change the Rescue email address by logging onto your Apple ID at:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Of course, if you do not know your password, and it is asking you to answer your security questions right now, then you can't do that....

I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?

I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

If someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??

if someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??

You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

Mail is crashing while processing junk. Try this:
1. Make sure Mail is not running.
2. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. If you see an LSMMap file there, move it to the Trash too.
4. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.0, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
5. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox folders and move these to the Trash. Note: As a result of doing this, all mail automatically marked as junk by Mail will be lost. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there and you want to preserve them, move them to another mailbox in Mail first -- you may prevent Mail from crashing by shutting down your Internet connection first.
6. Go to HOME/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox folders there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash. Pay attention to any legit messages that could be there, as in the previous step.
7. Launch Mail. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering again, and configure it however you wish. You may want to shut down the Internet connection before launching Mail to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled.
If the above solves the problem and you don't have any rules you'd like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just delete the MessageRules.plist files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.

Would someone please inform me why even though I ordered my iPhone 5 on the 14th of September, where the confirmation told me that I would receive it on the 28th of September, my "Order Status" now informs me that it will not ship until October 19th?

Hello Leisabee!
I am so excited for you to get your iPhone 5. I know how eager we all are to have this phone! I know you mentioned you ordered on 9/14, did you receive a confirmation letter by chance?
You can also check your order status here: http://bit.ly/rqEisu
That is really just right around the corner and time will fly by! I promise. If you have any other questions, just let us know!
Thanks,

Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.
You can manage your Apple ID here:

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.
