What program besides Mail.app might use "envelope index"?

I routinely copy my Mail data between my two computers I use in different cities, copying any changes in Users ▸ [me] ▸ Library ▸ Mail from one to the other via a portable hard drive.
This method worked great up through Mt Lion but has hit a snag in Yosemite (possibly would have same problem in Mavericks but I skipped that OS.)
Now when I try to copy files I'm informed that all three Envelope Index files are in use. I don't have Mail running and don't run mail until the files are transferred.
I'm guessing something like notification center or other such program is accessing the files but turning off Mail in notification center didn't release the files.
Any ideas of how to "release" these files would be of help.

I'm surprised it ever worked at all.
Well, since its been working for two years I must be doing something right.
A quick search found many articles on moving mail to another Mac. Chris Breen advised that it could be done in this article. He suggests this method as a one time fix for a problem but there's no reason I can't do it twice a week.
Mail does not sync directly between clients.
I don't understand your point. However this IS how I sync my mail client data. I keep duplicates on both machines. Using a program that copies any modifications to the folder back and forth, the clients are quite happy to work with the data I put in there for it.
The messages should be stored on IMAP or Exchange servers, and that way will be available to all clients at all times. If you have a POP account, look into migrating it.
I use multiple IMAP accounts. Problem is my email archives (my Mail folder in my user library folder) is over 6GB. I don't want to store all that data on an IMAP server. I don't know if I really can. Sure, I need to do some house cleaning but for now I simply would like to know....
Does another program access the Envelope Index files in the User>Library>Mail>V2>Maildata folder?

What is the best mail app to use for handling graphics?

I am really struggling with the Mail app on my new Mac. For my work I need to be able to send graphics and hyperlinks in emails so that they appear to the recipient within the email and not as attachments. Thanks to this site I have worked out how to send one picture (ie make it a png or tiff file). However, I can't do what I used to do on my PC with Office / Outlook. I would produce graphics and text in Word including hyperlinks, copy and paste that directly into my Outlook mail and it would appear in the mail precisely as it did in Word. I could still then edit it within Outlook too - eg change the hyperlink destination - and when I sent it the recipients woudl be able to see it all, click on the hyperlinks, etc.
With the Mac mail app this doesn't happen. Whatever I create in Word (I haven't had time to learn Pages) appears as a non-editable image, the hyperlinks are not clickable and in order for it to appear within the email and not as an attachment I have to save it first as a PNG which is cumbersome. I was under the impression that Macs were brilliant at graphics but this is taking me hours longer than my old PC. I'd be really grateful for any advice. Thanks

There are quite a few email programs available for OS X. A Google search for Email Programs that work on OS X will turn up most all of them. As to which one works best with graphics in sending and recieving emails I'm not sure.

Mail.app memory use spirals out of control

Mail.app has developed a problem where it grows significantly in virtual and physical memory use, footprint upon opening just now is 132Mb physical, 497 Virtual. On three occasions yesterday I found my machine slowing down only to discover Mail.app holding >2Gb of virtual memory and constantly growing and all remaining physical memory. Asking Mail.app to quit resulted in no success and an increasing virtual footprint. On all occasions I had to terminate the application from the Force quit applications menu. My impression is that the machine would eventually grind to a halt from memory exhaustion or terminate the process however work pressures prohibited me from finding out which.
Background: I have 2 Macs with approximately the same config and setup, with email accounts and settings synchronised via mobile me. The main software difference is that the problem machine was upgraded to Safari4 upon its release and the non problem machine remains on the previous stable release. Since this upgrade, though I am not certain of the reliance, the mac mini has exhibited these problematic symptoms. I have checked for any Bundles in the ~Library/Mail and found none.
I am a competent unix user but naive at the idiosyncrasies of the mac so please feel free to point me to any specific troubleshooting guide or info on how to obtain better diagnostics

I "switched" to use Mail only yesterday, and am seeing this happen. Previously I used Entourage, but syncing problems w/ my phone were just getting out of hand.
I'm seeing up to 2GB/3GB of actual/virtual memory usage from Activity Monitor.
Any thoughts out there by anyone are appreciated. I'm using IMAP for GMail (~15k messages, including subfolders), 13k in my inbox.
Is there a chance that Mail is holding all those messages in active memory, rather than reading as necessary? What a bad design!? What are the chances that looking in thread view is causing this, rather than just reading them in order?

What's the best app to use for itunes on the ipad2

What's the best itunes app to use with the ipad2

JUst as Tim_S said. YOu will want a external battery pack. Unforatannly the 430 does not have the option to plug in a external battery pack so will want to pick up a 580 or one of the new 600 series.
Then you start looking at the battery packs. I recommend Quantum power packs

MAIL App and use of LDAP

hi, we configured the new mail app and pointed to work email. This new mail app does not seem to use our LDAP directory. Do I have to load this complete LDAP into iPod Contacts? Seems not practical. How can I get this mail app to see our LDAP?

please reply with any answers to the question. Not being age to access the directory and view ppt files are some serious issues that prevents business users from using this app and device and apple software.

I wouldl like to type a school paper on my iPad what is the best app to use?

If u know of any apps let me know

You will probably want to use an app that has compatibility with MS Word. Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and Pages are all apps that are compatible with Word files.
But only you can know for sure exactly what you need this app to do. You can type a paper in any notes app and then copy and paste it into another app, it just depends on what you want to do beyond typing the paper on the iPad - how you want to print it, save it, etc.

Mail application (besides Mail.app) that will sync with iTunes?

HEre's the deal:
I run a lot of websites. 50 or so are hosted per dedicated server. Lots of websites means... lots of email addresses. Mail.app in it's infinite wisdon of creating somehting like 4 IMAP connections per email address often crashed the IMAP service on the otherwise exteremely relaiabl;e and well-appointed servers. The ONLY reason I'm still using it at this point is because in addition to running 3 Mac's, I also have the bevvy of iPods, iPhones and iPads. The fact that I can sync my mail withe them is a huge deal and a timesaver to me. Take for instance today. I am launching 2 new sites. I just created the standard 5 email addresses for each sites. That's 10 new email addresses and settings I'd have to put into 3 iOS devices.
So, is there any commercially available Mail application nthat can sync with iTunes? I HAVE to ditch Apple Mail, there's no way aroud that unless they fix the IMAP issue that I've read countless threads of people complaining to Apple about.
I'd like to just do this once... it's going to be a huge pain in my a$$ so any help minimizing that aspect of the move would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook will work.

What is a good app to use iChat account on a PC

I need to setup a PC app to use my iChat account. What are some good apps that will work with your iChat info on a PC running Windows 7 ?
AIM chat?

Hi,
The Apple Email type Names are Valid AIM names automatically.
The only thing you have to remember is the password has to be 16 characters or less.
Th @ symbol is a valid character in an AIM name as you can also register Email as Screen Names (like using the Apple ones). (I have seen a Hotmail email address used)
I understand several US based ISPs also "offer" this Linking automatically like Apple.
I must admit I read the original Post as to what apps would work with iChat - rather then using the name.
For the points though.

What's a good app to use to put two photos on a single page like Windows Paint?

I have a OSX Lion with an iPhoto app. I would like to put two photos on a single page like Windows Paint. What's a good app for this? Is there a Windows Paint app for Mac or something similar?

You can print two photos on a single page with iPhoto, you can put two photos on a single page with Pages, Word or any word processor. Or are you trying to edit two photos together?
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

What does the Sun App Server Use as a web container?

Does the Sun App Server use tomcat? Or is it some derivative of Tomcat?
thanks for the info.

Thanks.
Just to clarify for any others who are interested, heres the deal:
1) Package the static HTML files using the 'deploytool' (See Packaging Web Modules in Chapter 3 of The J2EE(TM) 1.4 Tutorial). This creates a .war file with the required deployment descriptors(?); anyway it creates a bunch of .xml files that have the right data in them.
2) Take the .war file and drop it in the 'quick deploy' icon (copies the .war file to the 'autodeploy' directory for the App Server instance).
Anyhow thats the drill.
Good luck.

Mail stalls after refreshing Envelope Index

I have refreshed the Envelope Index and now my Mail.app freezes as soon as I point on a message. Restoring the previous Envelope Index file doesn't help either. Any ideas? Or is there any way to reinstall only the Mail.app without reinstalling the whole OS?
PowerBook G4 & Quad PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi linbs
I'm not sure what you mean by "refreshed" the envelope index....but there's likely no need to re-install the Mail app.
If there are no messages/rules that you want to save from Mail, then Quit Mail, trash the /home/Library/Mail/ folder & the file /home/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist then restart Mail & things should work normally.
Alternatively, just Move the Mail folder, say to your desktop..... & after restarting mail & entering your account details, you can use Mail-File-Import Mailboxes to import any/all the mailboxes that you had before.

What programming language should a beginner use for developing apps for mac and I phone etc

Hi all
I have just made the transition from pc to mac, years a go I dabbled in visual basic and was going to give it another go but having made the move to mac, now owning an iMac/ iPhone and iPad I am now thinking I would be better off learning a programming language that would enable me to create program's /apps for apple products. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

If you want to develop apps natively, you'll have to go with Objective-C (language), Xcode (IDE), and the Cocoa Touch libraries. Objective-C is a super-set of C. So, if you've no background in C, start there. In fact, here are three books I recommend:
Dave Mark, Learn C on the Mac:
http://www.amazon.com/Learn-C-Mac-Dave-Mark/dp/1430218096
Aaron Hillegass, Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide:
http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/objective-c_programming_the_big_nerd_ranch_guid e
Joe Conway & Aaron Hillegass, iOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (3rd Edition):
http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/ios_programming_the_big_nerd_ranch_guide_rd_edi tion_
Dave Mark's book covers C, and you probably don't need all of it. Once it gets to really elaborate storage issues (for which you'll end up using Core Data on iOS), you can skim. On the up side, you have some programming experience, which will make learning C easier. On the downside, it's in VB, which isn't as similar to C as most other languages are. But, it's a start.
Hillegass covers some basic C in his book on Objective C as well. So you might can start with that. The final book only touches on Objective-C lightly and is really about using the iOS frameworks to do real work. It's entirely project based and will get to you building things and testing them and really creating iOS apps.
