Until I installed version 3.6.6 on my XP system I would bring up Outlook Express to send a link by mail. Now, selecting "send link" brings up MS Outlook Office which is not my e-mail default.

Prior to installing 3.6.6 on my MS XP system, when I click on FILE & SEND LINK, instead of getting my mail system OUTLOOK EXPRESS, I get OFFICE OUTLOOK which is on my computer but I have never used it for this. I cannot locate a setting to change this so far. Thank you. C.F. Boykin-

Every time Firefox opened

maybe it is proxy settings? see: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Changing%20the%20e-mail%20program%20used%20by%20Firefox/discuss/79

When I updated to OS 5.0 my old apple id which was not an e-mail address won't work anymore, how can I fix this?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Thunderbird mail now looking up "CONTAINS" when attempting to write an email and not "BEGINS WITH"!!!! HELP!!!

The NEW Thunderbird is looking up "CONTAINS" when attempting to write an email and not "BEGINS WITH" as it used to do before. I'm currently on 31.3.0 Thunderbird. Which version do I need to revert to, to get this function back for an employee on his PC??
Thank you in advance and I await your reply,

I just upgraded to OS7 and now it says I need itunes ver 11.1 which is NOT available for Vista...Let me go back!!

Apple offers a download for 11.0 .5 or something but I now can't connect my iPhone with OS 7 to my computer with ver 11.0.5!!

Office documents does not open in the default office application from Search Results

1 WFE + 1 App Server + 1 server for OWA + 1 separate DB server make up our DEV SharePoint 2013 environment. We migrated many web applications from our SP 2010 environment to SP 2013 environment. Client integration is enabled and "Open
Documents in Client Applications by Default" feature is enabled at the site collection level. OWA is enabled and working on the search results, such as showing preview.
From the document libraries, if I open office documents like word, excel and PowerPoint, they open in the respective office applications. However, from the search results, when I try to open by clicking on the result, it opens on the browser. I want
OWA to show document preview but still want to open the document in the default office application. How to overcome this?
I have IE 8.
Thanks, Soumya | MCITP, SharePoint 2010

Go to the bottom of the Search page, you will see a Preferences link:
From there, you can set your preference. This is a per-user setting and as far as I'm aware, cannot be set globally.

E-mails from an email list used to be listed under "Sender" by the individual, but now the Sender is the name of the list and so: how can I go back to how it wa

I belong to an email list. Until a few days ago, emails to this list arrive in my in-box with the Sender as the individual who sent the email. Now it simply says the name of the email list. This means that I can't know who has sent an email until, and if, the person signed her name at the bottom. I want to go back to the way it was.

I have never had this problem and can't recreate it however Try this
'''Open Thunderbird''' choose '''View''' from the menu bar select '''sort by''' and then choose '''From'''
Answer 2 '''Open Thunderbird''' select '''Tools''' from the menu then '''Options''' select '''Advanced''' select the tab marked '''Reading and Display''' in the area marked '''Display''' there is a '''check box''' which says '''Show only display names for people in my address book'''.
These may not be the solution let me know

Clicking on an email address on a webpage, opens outlook express, but does not create a new mail, which it used to. annoying as it then means cutting & pasting the details

As I said above, clicking on an email address on a webpage, opens outlook express which is my default email client. In the past it used to also open a new mail, ready for me to type the message but now it does not. It works if I load internet explorer as the browser but does not in firefox. I prefer firefox, so can someone help me resolve this. Its so annoying to have to open a new mail then cut & paste the email details.

I posted this reply elsewhere in the support forum but I'll copy it here for you, as follows....
I had the same problem. Initially thought I needed a string (code) to run the "Create new e-mail" command for Outlook but I didn't. I did a few things that eventually made it work, but I don't know for certain which one it was so here goes.
1.) Go to Control Panel and click on Internet Properties. Go to the Programs tab and double-check that Outlook Express is your default e-mail client. (This is probably for IE).
2. Close Outlook Express. Select the RUN command from the Start Menu and type the following: <msimn /reg>. Only type the info between the brackets. Click the OK button and wait about 5 seconds. Nothing will happen on screen but the information is being silently written to the registry.
3. Open Outlook Express and go to the Tools Menu. Select Options. On the General tab, look down to the Default Messaging Programs. More than likely, the top option will say that "This application is NOT the default Mail handler" Click the button next to it that says "Make Default". This should trigger an available option in Firefox, below, if it was not already available.
4. In Firefox, go to the Tools menu. Select Options. Click on Applications. Under the column, "Content Type" look for the mailto function. In the column Action, select "Use Outlook Express (default)" if it is not already selected. "(default)" must be part of the phrase. Somehow there is code behind this option that will bring up a new e-mail in Outlook that otherwise does not work if Outlook is selected manually. (To choose Outlook manually, you will indeed have to find the string code somewhere.)

How to save "To do" in my mac, not in my mail account

I have sut up, that I want to store my notes and to dos in my mac. However when I receive some message mark something I want to do, click on "to do" icon, it create it but try to save on my mail account on and send it to the server (for example gmail). In my Gmail account it creates folder Apple Mail To Do and there it stores the "to do" which I created in my mail. But I don't want it. i want to create and store the to do in my MBPro. How can I do that?

Use iCal. Copy the contents of the e-mail, create a new To Do in the To Do right sidebar of iCal. Paste it there.
The To Do function of Mail I agree could be better done.
I've even had to go as far as to drag a message into my drafts folder, just to be able to edit it over again.
Entourage may have some more elegance towards Mail/Calendar integration, unfortunately I find it stores everything in a single database file, which leads to issues when it gets too large.

How do I rebuild a new Mail account? (recipients not receiving e-mails)

For the last few days, various e-mails I have sent have not reached their recipients when I send them from my Mail application. There is no pattern to whom is and is not receiving e-mails I have sent. All messages show as being Sent and I receive no bounce-back error messages. Some recipients receive e-mails days later, some all the time, some not at all. If I send e-mails using other applications on other computers, including online apps, all e-mails are received successfully by their recipients.
So, I have determined through the process of elimination (after speaking with my internet provider and Apple support) that I need to rebuild my Mail account (I've created a "test" account and the problem is fixed — everyone across the board is receiving my e-mails fine). There seems to be no idea as to what could be causing the problem, but I am hopeful that at least I know that building a new account can remedy it.
The obvious question — how to I delete my old account and create a new one without losing all of my current Inbox e-mails, customized mailboxes, smart mailboxes etc. I have no doubt this process has been outlined somewhere on this forum but after some searching I haven't found anything. If someone could point me to a previous thread, I'd greatly appreciate it.
And, out of curiosity, if anyone has any idea what could have caused this (Apple Support and Internet Provider tech support both stymied) to happen, I would be interested to know!
Thanks in advance for anyone's time.

Hi Deirdre, and a warm welcome to the forums!
For safety...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Is this bad account IMAP or POP?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist

How to get a connection which does not participate in the main usertransaction

          Hi All I am on WLS 6.1 sp2 on win2k. I have a requirement which is like this: I
          use connection pools/txdatasources/JTA in my application. Now when a JTA transaction
          (UserTransaction) is active - I want to take a connection from the pool and do
          some operation and commit it independently of the UserTransction commit/rollback.
          Its pretty much like this - 3 components A , B, C (none of them are EJBs) are
          involved in a UserTransactions and all of them access database via a TxDataSource
          (say TD) which points to a connectionpool (say CP). Now I want B to get a connection
          handle which is not participating in the main transaction - so that the operation
          that B does is independent of what happens to the main transaction. Now I know
          I can use TransactionManager api to suspend a UserTransaction and then let B take
          a connection from the pool and commit it and then resume the transaction. But
          is there any easier way out of it? Like if B uses a DataSource instead of a TXDataSource
          - will that give B a connection which is not part of the main transaction? if
          not then whats the difference between DataSource and TXDataSource? Any help is
          appreciated.
          thanks
          Anamitra


I would recommend that you mark the method as NotSupported or
          RequiresNew rather than using DataSource or suspending/resuming
          transactions on your own.
          If anything, it will be much clearer to the next person who maintains
          your code.

HT204150 I linked my outlook express with icloud, not realizing it would change my outlook express contacts. I deleted email addresses from my iphone which in turn deleted them from my PC. Is there any way to get these addresses back?

I linked my outlook express with icloud, not realizing it would change my outlook express contacts. I deleted email addresses from my iphone, not wanting them there which in turn deleted them from my PC. Is there any way to get these addresses back? Seems I no longer have an outlook contacts list.

It's Outlook, not Outlook Express (different program) and if you have now deleted them from iCloud and do not have a backup they are gone.

Mail keeps selecting text in the To & Subject fields as I type

Since upgrading to Leopard (and by upgrade doing a clean install and then running migration assistance) and the 10.5.1 update Mail is acting very strange. When ever I try to type in the To, CC, BCC, Reply To or the Subject Mail immediately selects the texts and 9 times out of 10 will not search the Address Book. For example, I try to type the name "James" but after typing the "J" Mail highlights it so it gets overwritten by the "a" which gets overwritten by the "m" and so on. If am fast enough it will complete "James" and search the Address Book. Or if there is not an entry it will just highlight "James". This behavior makes it impossible to type a new email address or even to write a subject and extremely difficult to pull names automatically from the Address Book. It is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen and I haven't been able to figure out a way to make it stop. Holding down the right arrow key while typing almost made it work but not quite. It seems to delay the selection process by half a second or so but not stop it. Anyone else experience this bizarre behavior or have any idea how to fix it?

While I take some comfort in the fact that I am not the only one experiencing this problem, it really ***** that I have not come across a really effective solution. But I do have an update that might help but only slightly.
So I started messing around with mail since this whole thing started. What I found is removing the "com.apple.mail.plist" file from ~\library\preferences seemed to mostly resolve this problem in the To & Cc address fields. Problems still occurs as described in the Bcc & Subject fields. I initially thought removing this file (and this is after backing up the mail folder, the plist file & and my messages to MailSteward just in case) had completely resolved the issue but no suck luck. Of course, I had to re-add all my accounts. And of course Mail "forgot" all the messages that were originally part of each account even though they were all still in the Mail folder. This is a pet peeve of mine. Mail won't import it's on mail content formats unless you manually open each email and tell it to move to a folder in Mail. But that's another topic.
After resetting up Mail I can normally type in the To & Cc fields and have it search the address book or previous messages. However just typing and pausing between letters causes it to have the problem again about 50% of the time. That is for the To & Cc fields. For the Bcc field I have to do the super fast typing to get it to do the search. So if I am actually fast enough to type "james" it will find it. If am slow and type "jam" the problem returns. If typing a new e-mail not in my address book or a previous e-mail forget about it. Type it somewhere else and then copy and paste. Basically it seems as though it will work if I can somehow get the field to start the address book search when typing. I've tested it a few times and once the field is able to pull up the search results (i.e. pasting a name that it should be able to find) it seems to work fine from that point on. Meaning you can then continue to normally add names to field or make changes to what was previously typed. But it is tricky at best to get it to work in the first place. The Subject line is still a mess and I have resorted to typing the subject in the body of the e-mail and cutting and pasting into the Subject line.
I tested this several times, removing and then restoring the original plist. I hope I have made a clear summary as to my experiences. Basically the original plist file had the original nearly unsolvable problem. When it was removed and Mail recreated it, I set up a new main account and the To & Cc fields were somewhat more forgiving though still have the problem about half the time. While the Bcc field has the problem 99% of the time and so far the Subject field still has it 100%.
For the record I use the Widescreen and HTTPMail plugins. But I am convinced these are not the issue because I did not re-add them to Mail until I had tested this issue with my regular pop account. Once I was satisfied with the results I installed these plugins and there was no difference in the way the program reacted. Also I use SpamSieve but since it only activates when I have new Mail this did not seem to make a difference as I have tried it with it off and on with the same results. This is the most annoying problem I have experienced on a Mac. It has me contemplating switching back to Entourage.

Mac OS 10.4 Mail takes longer to receive than on Outlook Express 5

I receive email via Outlook Express 5.0.6 within an hour (but hate to use it). It can take Mac OS 10.4.8 Mail up to 24 hrs longer. Mail Preferences are set to: Check for new mail:” Every 30 min.” Under Accounts>Advanced: “Enable This Account” and “Include when automatically when checking for new mail” are both checked. The ISP is Comcast. What is the problem?

We have the same problem. The user rights under Leopard are not interpreted correctly while the Tiger clients show the correct entries. I´ve posted another topic to that thing...

Can I import e-mail addresses and groups from Outlook Express?

I have just bought the latest iMac (with Leopard) and I'd like to know how to import my Outlook Express address book (about 1,100 entries) and groups (75 groups with between 5 and 150 members each) into Address Book.

Hello Sijmons,
Thank you for your response.
I already tried it. I used File/Import a mailbox ..., then "Mail" offer me to choose the software I used, and I had the choice to run Mcrosoft Entourage, Outlook Express, ... and others.
Then I went to the place where I have stocked the .dbx files.
But mail seems not to be able to read it.
Do you know how to read .dbx librairies with Mail ?
Thanks in advance
Have a good day

Until I installed version 3.6.6 on my XP system I would bring up Outlook Express to send a link by mail. Now, selecting "send link" brings up MS Outlook Office which is not my e-mail default.
