What is with all of the mail activity?

I am running Mavericks 10.9.1. I have a Gmail account. When I am in Mail, there is a constant incoming of messages in the "Mail Activity" section on the bottom left corner of the window. All of these messages are not going to my inbox, so I am assuming I am receiving Junk Mail and Spam. I do not want all of this activity coming into my Mail. Is this something that is normal? Can I remedy through Mail? Or is it an internet service provider issue?
Thanks.......

I have an iphone 4s, and an ipad mini synching with the same IMAP account. But, it seems like it is a constant wave of activity on my computer. I was on Mail yesterday, and for 30 minutes, it seemed like every 30 seconds there was "incoming mail" or "saving message" activity that was not actually mail. I assume it is spam or junk? Is this normal?
Thanks for your input......

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

What's with all of the squares of text that pop up?

I just bought my first mac in over 4 years. What is with all of the pop ups? I disabled the tool tips in Firefox, but I still get white boxes that pop up at the oddest times. What can I do to disable them? Some of them seem to be connected to Flash Player.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. They're driving me crazy! I'm running Lion.

Can you tell if these are generated by the browser (i.e. ads or browser-specific tooltips), or are they generated by the operating system or component, such as Java?
I unfortunately don't have an answer for you, but I am using Safari, and I get random Java po-up windows causing anything full-screen to jump back to normal view, etc. If you're having the same issues as I am, then I'd be happy to get an answer as well. I've updated to the latest OS release from Apple, updated my Java, flash, etc. I'm still getting pop-up windows. The windows, however, close by themselves. They pop up for only a second or so, and then close.
Same issue?

What happens with rules in the mail?

My rules are not working correctly....What happens?

in mail, you can set it to do certain things if it meets the criteria
The first rule, which comes preset makes any emails from apple appear slightly blue in your list, you can disable this with the checkbox or just Remove it altogether.
Add Rule settings
Use the Add Rule pane to create the conditions a message must meet for the rule to apply and the actions to take when the rule is applied.
Option
Description
Description
Enter a description of the rule, which appears in the list of rules. For example, “book club.”
If “any” or “all” of the following conditions are met
Specify when the rule applies to a message by choosing “any” or “all” from the pop-up menu. The rule can be applied when a message meets any (even just one) of the listed conditions, or only when it meets all of the conditions.
Conditions list
Using the pop-up menus and the text field, create one or more conditions.
For example, choose Subject from the first pop-up menu, choose Contains from the second pop-up menu, and type “book club” in the text field. Click Add to create another condition, or Remove to delete one.
To add message headers to the pop-up menu, choose Edit Header List from the pop-up menu, click Add (+), enter a header name, and then click OK.
Actions list
Using the pop-up menus, specify actions to take when a message meets the required conditions.
For example, choose Move Message from the first pop-up menu and then choose a mailbox named “my book club” from the second pop-up menu. Click Add to specify another action or Remove to delete one.
If you have multiple rules, it’s recommended that you create an action using “Stop Evaluating Mail Rules.”
As for rules not working, make sure everything is correctly set

What's with all these viewing card activation reco...

seriously I can sometimes have 20 in a week! They're a PITA the delete as I can't group delete something and have to do each one in turn

I think you should only have two a week! Check your series recordings list.
The aim is to keep the viewing card active by tuning to ESPN for an hour which allows the over air reactivation to take place. If you watch ESPN for at least an hour a week anyway then you can delete the series recordings. I do this during the football season when I keep the card in the TV but during the off season I put the card back in the Vision box and reinstate the Saturday recording to keep it alive.
I don't have Sky Sports so don't know if there are any additional series recordings for that, but it'll be the same principle if there are.

Sorry to say your installation must have been unsuccessful.
A normal installation would not do this.
Uninstall, run the cleanscript* and try again (maybe your AV is too agressive).

What's with all the indie games

so lately ive noticed that most all the free games on ps+ have become indie games while they used to be high quality shooters like crysis and they had theif but now they had a game called unfinished swan and it was terrible they should have called it unfinished game but i think the reason for this is because ps4 users have to have ps+ to play online and while thats fine because they have to pay for servers and other stuff like that and its only fair to give back. i feel lucky i bought a ps3 instead of an xbox because the online was free. but i mean we pay millions to ps+ now, weve done our part now sony needs to stop holding us hostage to ps+ or pay us back in some other way than these crappy indie games there giving us now

Excellent, a new "what's with all the indie games" thread!

Look under the Window menu bar item.
There are half a dozen presets or you can save and recall your own custom settings.

With all of the applications available, what other applications recommended to use along with Captivate 8.

With all of the applications available, what other applications recommended to use along with Captivate 8. I do not heed to install all of them, just what I need.

Personally I use both Photoshop and Audition (both in CC) a lot when using Captivate 8. There is roundtripping possible with those two Adobe applications. If you have a CC subscription try it out! And when needing HTML5 output, you can insert published Edge Animate files, to replace former Flash animations. As you can see in CP8, Edge Inspect can be used to test the output on mobile devices without having to publish or to deploy on a webserver.

TS3276 As an email is being send the mail activity indicator is showing that more than one email is being send....what is going on here? Thanks

Question: As I send an email, the mail activity indicator is showing that more than one email is being sent! Last time it was 5 even though I was only sending one and there were no other emails in the out box! What's going on here I ponder?

Several time in the past, similar question was asked in the forum, for example check the link and reference OSS notes mentioned in it. You can also search the forum, if you need further info on this topic.

All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
It went something like this:
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

Need some help with all of the jumper settings.

Wow, this has been some ordeal. I inherited a G4 iMac from a friend, which has been a great deal of trouble to me, particularly with the jumper settings. Anybody like dealing with that? Come on down...
So here's my situation. The hard drive in the iMac was dead. No big deal I'll just replace it, so I got a drive which I'm SURE is compatible. I plugged it in paying little attention to the jumper settings on it because until the beginning of this ordeal I knew nothing about jumper settings.
Now this is where it starts making no sense... I booted the computer while holding down the mouse button to eject, then put in a 10.2 OS disc, and then restarted holding C to boot from the install disc. It loaded fine but when I got to the installation step where I pick a drive to install it to, there were NO drives in the menu.
Maybe it needs to be formatted, right? WRONG. From the install screen I clicked open disc utility, and found the drive there in the list. It recognizes the drive, so why can't I install to it? I tried reformatting the drive as Mac os extended or whatever, and this made no difference.
This is where the jumpers come into play. I can't find jumper settings anywhere online for the DVD-RW Pioneer DVR-104PC Superdrive, so I've left the jumper on the optical drive alone and tried toying with the jumper settings on the HD instead, but I tried every possible setting and none of them worked to allow the installer to see my hard drive.
So what do you all think the deal is? If you know what the various jumper positions are for this particular optical drive, by all means let me know so I can toy around some more. Or if you know an alternate solution other than what I've suggested, please share. I've already invested money in a drive, some thermal paste, and Torx screwdrivers for this thing, so I really just want to get it working.... Let me know...

Hey Michael,
Here's the link to the WD support site:
http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=84
My experience with WDs is that when they need to be "Master single" I use no jumper. That's in most Mac setups including the iMac G4s. Which drove me nutz until I figured that out. All other manufactures I've run into need a jumper across the first pair on the left as you look at it from the back. WD is the odd man out.
Also if you Google:
"western digital jumpers" the 2nd response you get is from OWC (macsales.com) and they're telling you to use the slave setting. Don't know about that I've always used no jumpers but I see a lot of hard drives so next time..

Sankar, your outbound send connector has an address space of *. So when you run "Get-SendConnector", you will see something like the following:
Identity                                AddressSpaces
Enabled
Unix System Connection                  {SMTP:*.domfreebusy.contractor.hunti... True
Outgoing SMTP Connector
{SMTP:*;10}                             True
Mailbox Journaling Connector            {SMTP:pdwastap01.huntington.com;1}      True
The middle one with the {SMTP:*;10} in my case (you may have a different number than 10 in yours) is my outbound connector. So yours will show an address space of {SMTP:*;<some number, 10 is the default>}. HTH ...

Opening a Finder window with all of the folders collapsed.

Is there a way to open a Finder window full of folders with all of the folders collapsed? OSX will remember the fact that you expanded a folder and if you open up a Finder window afterwards it will open with the same folder expanded meaning that you have to collapse it or navigate it.

With Finder on the Menu bar select File > New Finder Window, use the ⌘ N keys or right click Finder on the Dock and open a New Finder Window.
