What are the Apple Mail SPECIFICATIONS?

What are the Apple Mail 6.5 specifications on Mac with OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion)? For instance...
How many mailboxes can handle?
How many messages in each mailbox?
Any size limit for each mailbox or the full set of mailboxes?
BTW, I think that such information was in
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25812
but the docs.info.apple.com site seems to have gone. Where are the Apple info documents now?
Thanks.

There are no set specifications for these. In general:
* It can handle lots of mailboxes. I'm sure thousands would be fine, though it would be a chore to manage. With Spotlight, I think fewer mailboxes is better. I have 10 mailboxes, with between 10,000 and 30,000 messages each.
* It can easily handle many messages in a mailbox. 30,000 is easy, and it can probably do 100,000+
* There are no size limits for the mailboxes. Mostly disk space.
I'll note that Adam Engst had issues with an older version of Mail and 1 million messages:

I bet it works better now, but I personally have 11 mailboxes and 114,306 messages in Mail at the moment and have noticed no slowdown in performance whatsoever.

What are the optimal hardware specification requirements for Adobe Photoshop CS6?

Greetings to the staff and users of this forum,
As the title clearly stipulates, the question is "What are the optimal hardware specification requirements for Adobe Photoshop CS6?".
Unfortunately, I am not satisfied with the specs specified on the website, as I believe they are far lesser than the specs needed to run the program at its full potential. This belief comes from my experience with the product Adobe Photoshop CS2 that I currently run on my computer. In effect, Ps CS2 cannot fully run without inducing time lags on my computer (i.e. when using 500 pix diameter smudge tool/ using liquify gallery), even though my specs are already higher than those specified for CS6 (mine are: Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 1.86 GHz, 3 GB RAM). I can assure you that I get those time lags even when almost in safe mode (only system main processes running) and that my computer is clean from any process/virus that could lower its performances.
I've been through two chat rooms and four telephone operators to always get the same answer: the specs on the website.
If any user here could provide me with proper higher specs, I would really be grateful.
Thanks,
phdwengr

What are the iCloud mail servers?

i just switched from the mac mail to microsoft office outlook. its much easier but i cant seem to get my icloud email set up. i dont know if i am getting the server names wrong or what. i have tried several different servers, but everyone gives me an error message saying something different every time. i just want to be able to view all of my email together on outlook if anyone can help.
Thanks

Hello..I googled your error message and found this exchange:
n the end, simply changing the iCloud password did the trick.
I kept getting authentication errors for my .mac iCloud account in Oulook 2011 on my iMac i7 for the past few weeks (since late November 2011). However, Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Air worked perfectly, even though all the Outlook settings were exactly the same on both computers. I tried all the settings in this discussion group and many others, including Apple's official settings (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864). I even called Microsoft Support, and they said I had to call Apple, since they were the source of the problem. What worked for me was simply changing my password for iCloud. My password was iCloud compliant to begin with, but changing it allowed Outlook 2011 to work with my iCloud account on my iMac. I saw this suggestion from someone who said his iCloud password was not compliant with Apple's requirements. Hopefully this will help others still experiencing problems with their iCloud accounts and Outlook 2011.

What are the recommended technical specifications to setup the Adobe Update Server?

I am looking to setup the Adobe Update Server for all our Creative Cloud users. I would just like to confirm what the recommended technical specifications are if we were to build the server in a VM.

Thanks for the response Ralph but I am looking for a more personal experience someone may have managing 200+ Macs via the OS X server and what their specs are.

What are the phase noise specifications for the 10 MHz internal reference in the PXI-5661?

Im looking for the phase noise specification on the 10 MHz internal reference for the PXI-5661.

Hello Bob,
As you may have noticed, and the likely reason for this post is that that spec is not readily available for the PXI-5600. You will however notice that the overall phase noise of the system is noted and my suspicion is that even though the 10Mhz reference helps improve the overall phase measurement, it won't necessarily dictate the measurement. I can ask R&D for this spec but they will likely inquire the need for this specification. Do you intend to use an external source instead of the built in reference?

What are the album art specifications?

Most of the images I grab from Amazon.com work for album art on my iPod, however, sometimes I'll grab one, and make it an album's art, but it won't show up on the actual iPod when I'm playing that specific album. (It just shows the Artist, Track, and Album name) I was wondering if anyone knew the requirements for album art to show up on the iPod screen.

You must add artwork to the songs in iTunes first, not directly to the songs on the iPod (through iTunes).
If you add artwork directly to the iPod, the artwork is not displayed when playing songs.

Apple TV: what are the specific settings I should adjust to?

Hi, there
I really need your help now. I use a DVD ripper to rip DVD to MP4 for Apple TV. I am trying to achieve quality that is close to a movie (m4v) from iTunes. What are the best settings to get this type of quality? I am not concerned with output file size, and I just want to get the very best quality I can. If so, what are the specific settings I should adjust to? The program I am using allows me to adjust video and audio parameters as below:
Video parameters:
Codec: h.264
Resolution: 1280*720
Bit rate: ??? (it is said Up to 5 Mbps, but what is the specific bit rate?)
Frame rate: 24 fps
Audio parameters:
Codec: aac
Sample rate: ???
Bit rate: ??? it is said 16 to 320 Kbps, but what’s the specific figure?
Audio channel: mono, stereo and 5.1 channel, which one should I choose?
Following are the tech specifications I copied from Apple’s official website:
Video formats supported
H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p
MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Audio formats supported
AAC (16 to 320 Kbps); protected AAC (from iTunes Store); MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps); MP3 VBR; Apple Lossless; AIFF; WAV; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound pass-through
And I have selected some parameters according to this, please see the above contents, but there is no info about specific video/audio bit rate, audio sample rate, and audio channel. I just wanna know if I want to watch the movie on my 1920×1080 TV, what are the specific settings I should adjust to?
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Well, then how about playback Apple TV uncompatible video files? I have some other video files(such as avi, mkv,not DVD), and I also have a video converter, i know i can convert them to m4v, mp4, or mov that supported by ATV,but the thing is that i still don't know the best specific settings for conversion. Any suggestion? Many thanks for your kind reply.

What are the meanings of Apple Hardware Test error codes 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1300 and 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1308?

what are the meanings of Apple Hardware Test error codes 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1300 and 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1308?

Thanks - Even though I'm years out of warranty I got chat help from Apple (I said they should help me since the codes aren't published.) We covered three different questions, and although I didn't get a specific decoding of the error code, I got confirmation of what other comments here imply - it might have helped that I indicated I'd already been here - and useful links to how to do back ups, including to CD(s). (I don't have a lot of data on this computer yet)
Now I need to figure out how to decide how hot-to-the-touch is "too hot" for the metal frame at the top of the iMac to decide whether I'm getting adequate fan performance or insufficient. While chatting I initially reported it was cool at the bottom and warm at the top. Apple hadn't asked, but their response prompted me to feel it again, and I'd say the top was hot, not warm - I updated but Apple didn't comment further except to conclude after addressing the other questions that I should take it in for further assessment - don't really want to bother with that.

What is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail?

Hi All, I am a recent convert to Mac from a PC and I am on a sharp learning curve. At present I am trying to use mail on Leapord. I have a Googlemail account which I have tried linking to Apple mail but I seem to get the same issue many others have with send e-mails. What is more, googlmail's All Mail facility is doing my nut in at the moment.
Therefore I was wondering what is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail? I only have a Mackbook and an i-pod nano so subscribing to mobile me at £58/yr just to get the @mac.com account (which I assume would be perfect) seems a little extreme for me.
Are their any other account that work correctly and don't have this All Mail option.
Thanking you in advance.
Matthew

Hi,
I have 2 issues.
1) I have mail 3.6 and when I set up the mail account via IMAP and STMP I recieve mails ok, but I can not send them. If I do I get the following window pop up.
"can not send message using smtp.googlemail.com server" it tells me my address was rejected by the server.
2) I have 2500 e-mails in my All Mails folder on googlemail. Nearly all of these I delete from my inbox years ago (my bad mailbox management). Google seems to store all my mails. I want to delete these permentaly as they also get downloaded into Apple Mail.
Hope you can help.
Matt
