Where are Smart Mailbox settings?

Hello
I set up a large number of Smart Mailboxes on my Macbook and they synced over to my iMac. Now, however, they have disappeared from the Macbook and i am getting a prompt to delete them on the iMac when it tries to sync.
Can anyone tell me where the Smart Mailbox settings are kept so I can copy it and let the sync happen and not have to recreated the whole thing?
Thanks heaps
deb

They are in the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder:
SmartMailboxes.plist
SmartMailboxes.plist.backup
VersionedSmartMailboxes.plist

Where are Smart Mailboxes stored?

I want to copy over my smart mail boxes from my old 12" PB to my new MBP but cannot find them when asked using "Import Mailboxes" under the File pulldown menu.
TIA
12.PB. (Rev A). & 1.83 GHz MBP Mac OS X (10.4.5)

My impression was that these "smart" mailboxes were virtual. That they presented messages that reside in other mailboxes and that meet some particular filtering criteria. They don't get copied to the smart mailbox, the smart mailbox entries just point at the message in the mailbox in which they reside.
Also, keep in mind that IMAP mail servers, such as that run by Apple for .Mac subscribers, keep their mail on the server. That way if you have multiple computers, say a desktop at home or in the office and a laptop for mobile use, both always see the same messages in the same mailboxes. In this case, you'll never find those messages on your local system 'cause they're not there.
Mailboxes associated with POP3 accounts (more typical for private ISPs, e.g.) are local files and / or directories. And you can always explicitly create a local mailbox. If you copy mail from a server-based IMAP mailbox to such a local mailbox, then the mail will reside on your Mac, of course.

What are smart mailboxes and why do i need both smart and "normal" ones?

What are smart mailboxes and why do I need both smart and "normal" mailboxes?

Hi Kingoftypos,
Thanks for that clarification. So, now it appears that the ultimate purpose of a Smart Mailbox is to point to all emails that meet the criteria in a single place, so if they are spread among several mailboxes, you will be able to see them all together. Here is an article from Apple that describes it:
A Smart Mailbox displays in one location messages that are stored in other mailboxes, so you don’t have to move messages between mailboxes. The messages displayed by a Smart Mailbox are based on criteria you define, and are automatically updated to include new messages that match your criteria. For example, you might create a Smart Mailbox that displays all messages found in all mailboxes from a specific sender.
If you change a message in a Smart Mailbox, such as marking the message as read or unread, or moving or deleting the message, the change is reflected in the mailbox where the message is actually stored.
So, adam, I would think that, if you had mail going to a lot of different places, and wanted to be able to see a particular set of those in a single place, you would use a smart mailbox. Maybe use the rules to direct your mail to different places to start with, but a smart mailbox to bring a set of common ones all together into a single smart mailbox?
Maybe you have Rules move your Amazon mail to an Amazon folder and your Apple mail to an Apple folder, but then you have a Smart Mailbox that contains any mail that has the word "Receipt" in the Subject line?
Just a thought....
Cheers,

Experts - where are the main settings for country currency settings

Hi
where are the main settings for different country currency settings.
Ex:
us,canada and europe customers us$, canada $, europe euro,
How the pricing will effect for different country customers?
Any one can help me on this.
Any documents on thes please send to [email protected]
Thanks
Kris

You can find this in the following path.
SPRO->GENERAL SETTINGS> SET COUNTRIES>DEFINE COUNTRIES-->
Here countries have an ISO CODE
Then
SPRO->GENERAL SETTINGS>CURRENCIES-->CHECK CURRENCY CODES
Here ISO codes mapped to currencies.
If CCode currency = Customer master currency, then transactions will happens in that currency
If CCode currency<> Customer master currency, then the exchange rate will come into play to convert customer currency to company code currency.
And anway if you want a different currency from the country currency, you can mention that in ccode configuration. The presence of currency in company code configuration is must and hence configuration at country level is not needed I think
Hope this helps.
Rewards pls

Where are all the settings stored?

When working with Data Modeler users can setup a couple of preferences.
E.g. windows size and position on desktop but others as well.
Where are all these settings stored?
Is it a file or in Win Registry?
How can I backup these (current) settings?
In addition I want to copy them onto another Data Modeler installation on another computer and use them over there as well.
Do 32bit and 64bit version access the same settings values?
Thank you
Peter

Hi,
In Tools -> Preferences->Data Modeler there are import/export buttons.
Use export to create file and import it on another computer.

HT4867 Now that I've switched to ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

Now that I've switched to ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

On your mac, mailboxes are listed under one of several categories. Some are "on my mac" and others are in "icloud". Those emails in mailboxes "on my mac" are strictly local, they do not connect with iCloud. As Julian points out, all mailboxes on your mac are still there. They will not be on your other devices.

Aha! Thank you!!! That was not obvious. Sometimes I don't get the green and red icons. So it's slide it to the right for answering and slide to the left for voice mail.

Restore Smart Mailbox Settings from Time Machine...

Where are the settings for Smart Mailboxes stored? I had to reinstall my OS from scratch and now my Smart Mailboxes are gone. When I go into Time Machine with Mail open and go bak prior to the re-install I see the Smart Mailboxes so I know they are there somewhere. What settings files do I need to restore from the finder?

I copied the time machine back up from a day ago ... I first had to reboot to remove a lock file and then used termnal to copy the file over the original with sudo cp command. .. The VPN is part of the System keychain ... I have looked in the System/Library area but have not found anything that looks like the file I want .. thanks for the help. any ideas where the system keychain is kept?

Where are Photo Screensaver settings saved?

Hi,
I need to programatically change settings for the Photo Screensaver. The registry keys used in Windows Vista no longer apply in Windows 7. I tried using a folder with an uncommon folder name to point the Photo Screensaver to so that it would be easier to find in the registry. When I do a registry search, the folder name cannot be found. Maybe this is kept in a settings file somewhere instead of the registry?
We use a custom photo deck for our screensaver and it hasn't worked well to put it in the Pictures folder. You'll end up displaying personal photos along with the custom photos. I have been making a folder in Program Files and pointing the screensaver there.
The settings I would like to be able to change are:
Use pictures from: (you browse to the folder that contains your photos)
Slide show speed: (change the transition speed of the photos)
Shuffle pictures: (I would like to be able to check this box so the photos display randomly)
If anyone knows where to find these settings, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share the location of these settings.
Thanks,
Rob

you can use this code

#That string is encoded in Base64, without headers. There is a Windows API that encrypt binary arrays (the PIDL) to Base64, CryptBinaryToString. The dwFlags parameter should be set to CRYPT_STRING_BASE64.
#Our problem is the inverse, given a Base64 string (the encoded PIDL), get the decoded PIDL. There's an API for that, too!, CryptStringToBinary. The dwFlags parameter should also be set to CRYPT_STRING_BASE64.
#I think it is not hard to write a small program that uses those API's (and some more to get a "readable" path from the PIDL); ask in the MSDN forums to get directions if you get stuck.

Where are custom equalizer settings saved on windows pc

Where are iTunes custom equalizer settings saved on my Windows 7 hard drive? I always backup the entire iTunes folder and use that to restore everything after reformatting my hard drive. Everything restores EXCEPT the custom equalizer settings. Which file contains my custom EQ settings, and where is it found?

Go to Edit>Preferences>Presets>Show Lightroom Presets Folder.
These folders are usually (see below) actually in the same folder called 'Lightroom' where your catalog lives.
If you back up the entire 'Lightroom' folder they should be there unless you have elected to put the folder elsewhere.
Either way 'Show Lightroom Presets Folder' takes one there.
You can copy and back it up seperately or as part of the greater 'ightroom folder' back up.

Are smart sensor settings working with 2.2?

Does anyone know if the Smart Sensor settings(Double tap to silence, or Face down to silence) are now working with new 2.2 update? I previously had to do a factory reset because of it, so am curious to see if settings are safe now.

Where are iTunes sync settings stored?

After upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, the sychronization settings it iTunes appear to have been reset on my Macbook Pro. Another strange thing about this "reset" is the only settings affected were those for Music and Video.
I had updated several apps on the Macbook and needed to sync those apps to my iPhone, as well as a couple purchased on the iPhone since my last sync with the Mac. So ... I connected my iPhone to the Macbook, and after reconizing my phone the "Sync" button became activated. Since I was on the Summary page, I suspected no changes, as I had made none, and the Capacity bar was full to about .2GB Free, as expected. I pressed the "Sync" button as usual.
Somewhere between steps 1 and 2 (or during step 2), the Capacity bar dropped to Green, Yellow and a sliver of Orange with 23.2GB Free?!? Whassup?? As there was no method (I am aware of short of powering down the laptop) to pause/stop sync in progress, which I suspect would be dangerous anyway, I was forced to let it complete. After it finished. I checked my iPhone and the music and videos had all been removed. When I examined the sync settings in iTunes, I noticed the Sync Music and Sync Movies check boxes were selected. All other check boxes below them for Music: Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genre, Include music videos; and Movies: Movie Names, had mysteriously been unselected.
Since all my files are still in the proper folders on the Macbook Pro, and I use Time Machine, I am not concerned about file loss. What I am concerned with is how did this happen and where are these settings stored, so I do not have to go through ehem all and reselect each and every one to prevent this from recuring in the future. The technician and his manager could not find the location of these settings, as we tried replacing an older version from Time Machine to no avail.
Could anyone please tell me where the Synchronization settings in iTunes are stored, so I might be able to recover the proper file and not have to reselect each sub-selection to return my music and videos to the iPhone? I can Restore my iPhone from the backup just prior to the Sync; however, these does nothing to prevent the incorrect iTunes Sync settings from removing my music and video next time to transfer/sync upgraded apps.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. For more details see below regarding OS, iTunes and iPhone versions.
Sincerely,
Wynne Hunkler
OS:          10.7.5 (Lion)
iOS:          6.0 (10A403)
iTunes:     10.7 (21)

I think the device stores those selections along with which library they belong to. That's why you get the prompt to erase and reload with a different library. If you had restored the backup taken immediately before the upgrade that would probably have restored your selections.

Where are Smart Slices stored (server / client)

Hi,
I wanted to know where are the Smart Slices stored ? Are they stored up in the client machine (machine dependent) OR are they stored up in the server (and hence accessible to the user from any machine) ?
We have big business group who are enthusiastic about Smart Slices and the wonders it could do in their needs.
Thanks in advance for your interest in this thread !!!

They are not stored on the client as they are available to everyone. I'm not sure if they are stored in APS (which I think) or in Essbase.
