Which files actually hold the info & settings for a single Mail Account?

One of my mail accounts must have gotten corrupted yesterday. Since then I can no longer retrieve mail for this account. This account can still send mail normally. All the other mail accounts on this machine function properly and I can retrieve emails from this account on another Mac.
I could probably solve the problem by deleting the account and recreating it. However when I had this problem once before and deleted/recreated the account it was a long process to try to import all the old emails (which I want to keep) from my Time Machine backup. At that time I still lost emails because the import kept hanging up at the same point in the process, so I would like to avoid having to go through that again.
I'm hoping that if I could identify the files that hold all the account specific info I could restore just those files with Time Machine. I'm guessing that if I were to quit Mail, restore those files and then relaunch Mail, everything should be back to the way it was before the files were corrupted.
Does anyone know if my theory is valid? And, if so, do you know which files I need to replace and where to find them?
-- Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Thanks for the response!
Well, I looked in the location you mentioned (Users/yourname/Library/Mail/nameof_yourpop account) before posting my question, but if you look in that POP folder the only things there are the .mbox files for that account: Deleted Messages.mbox, Drafts.mbox, INBOX.mbox, Junk.mbox & Sent Messages.mbox. Inside each of those are the actual emails for those folders, which would restore all the emails (which I haven't lost), but there doesn't seem to be any files that carry the info/settings for the account.
I was hoping to find the settings files which must be located somewhere else. Do you have any other suggestions?

i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

Which are the correct settings for gmail in MacBookPro

I want to use mac mail to access my gmail. Can I ? instead of going directly to web to access my gmail.? Which are the correct settings for the incoming and outgoing servers ?

Hi,
Yes. You can absolutely access your Gmail account from within either Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Make sure, that you have enabled POP/IMAP in your Gmail settings, then follow the instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180188 if you wish to access your account via POP3 instead of IMAP, change the incoming mail server to pop.gmail.com

Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project? I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font. On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger. I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place? I did not consciously change the default.
I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered. I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem. For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

"Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers. (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor). In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display). In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro

I need help figureing out Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro. I use 15 or 30 fps and aI cant figurwe it out [please help

What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

What are the correct settings for the Canon 5D mark II in FCP 7 ?

I am shooting full HD at 23s97 fps.. tried making a preset for the Canon but when I import fils FCP always wants to change to appropriate settings for this file type but doesn't tell me what that is...
(latest firmware installed)
Please, can someone provide all the correct settings for me?
And also, why doesn't the camera show up on the desktop/in the menus when attached to the mac? I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera... and FCP doesn't see it either. That's just not right - FCP MUST recognise my camera!! : (
Please help - I don't want to start editing until I have the right settings for this footage.
Thanks
Jim

Welcome to the Boards
Not sure what you mean with the following, looks like a word dropped?
I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera...
Anyway, some more specs on your system could help point where the issue is. With the new Plug-In by Canon you can Log & Transfer from the Flash Card (not sure how you connected the camera.) Alternatively you could just drag the files in (but make sure to keep all files such as THM in case you use Log and Transfer later.)
Generally it is best to transcode to Pro Res to be able to work with the files in Final Cut. (Log & Transfer should do that, or using Compressor/Mpeg Streamclip.)
It (Final Cut) is probably changing the timeline to match the codec, or depending on your last preset used, just switching things around. In other words if you were editing in DV and had a set up for that, new sequences would default to that and if you try to ad anything else you will get the message.
Take a look at the search over there -> to look for the Canon 5D threads for some more info.
What I would do is just pull one of the clips in to start and look at what the sequence settings are aftr Final Cut changes them for you - they should be fine generally, though you will want to change Codecs to Pro Res.
I like just batch conversion of all my clips from the 5D Markk II and then work from there. (I do not hook up the camera to the computer, just use a card reader.)

Need a program that will save the capacity settings for all storage bins

Hey all,
I would really apprecaite any help with a program I am trying to come up with.
What I need to do is create a program that:
1. Will save the capacity settings for all storage bins to
a file
2. Then update them all to allow unlimited capacity BUT be able to revert back to the
original that was saved.
Any suggestions about possible existig reports that I may be able to modify to suit my needs, or where to start from if I have to do this from scratch?

I know I'm talking about expensive apps, but having been in prepress for about 30 years now, I really don't look at anything other than Quark XPress or InDesign for page layout apps. Your printing vendor will also be much happier with you when you use these products. Some areas of the U.S. tend to be mostly Quark oriented; others, InDesign. Ask your vendor what they would prefer, and if there are any free or cheap alternative apps they'll accept documents from.
Apple's Pages app (part of iWork) is a decent page layout program, but hasn't been updated in four years. It also doesn't support CMYK. If you place a CMYK image in the app, it will export out an RGB version of it. Not good! You can work with RGB images if you prefer, but your CMYK translations will be left to the skill of the print shop you use to do the conversions.
Don't even think about using Word. It has what it calls a page layout option, and does pretty much work like one, but there's no good way to import it into a real layout app such as InDesign. You end up paying the printer for their time to rebuild your entire project in either XPress or InDesign so they can actually do something with it.

How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

Error in loading the WSDL file. Check the error log for more details

Hello,
I am trying to create a Import Adaptive Webservice Model. I am using the WSDL:
http://www.abysal.com/soap/AbysalEmail.wsdl
I am getting the below error when I choose WSDL source as UDDI or file (I am not using any logical destination)
"Error in loading the WSDL file. Check the error log for more details."
Where can i see the error log? And what is the solution to fix this?
I am able to create the model if i save the wsdl locally on my machine and choose Local File System or File as the WSDL source. But at runtime this fails as the application tries to read the WSDL for metadata info and it looks into the application server for this file.
I also tried creating the old webservice model. And it is able to create the model. But I feel I need to use the new model as this one is deprecated.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi

I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How can I get these back?

I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How and Can I get these back? tia

Sorry for the delay in response. It sounds like you have somehow deleted your quicktime ProKit with the codecs by what ever process you were trying to restore you trashed files.
Go to the Apple Menu > System Updates and see if the updater sees a need to install them.
If this doesn't work - it might be
the best thing to do would be to get FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion (free)
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
and try to remove all traces of your corrupt installation and then do a clean install from your original disks, followed by updates to restore the new ProKit codecs.
If your system has been corrupted by whatever you did, it might be best to wipe the drive and start from scratch - but understood this is not a pleasant choice.
Other posters may have different or better suggestions. The FCS Pro Apps require a lot of files and file structure that may or may not be apparent, and were never drag and drop installable. They always needed to be installed with the proper installer.

Where does a sharepoint admin find the site settings for a mysite site collection?

We are using sp 2010 service pack 2.
When I look at another user's mysite, logged in as an admin (spsadmin2 is my daily admin type account), I don't seem to have access to the site settings.
However, if I log in as the fundamental farm admin account (spfarm), I do see the site settings drop down.
The site settings I see are not the site settings for a specific user's site collection. It is, instead, the settings for "mysites" in general.
So, how can I look at the site settings for a specific user's site collection?
I wanted to be able to look at their site collection recycle bin to see if something deleted was still there.
Thank you!

So, our mysites are associated with a web application separate from our other sharepoint sites.
The mysites root site collection has our SharePoint admins listed as full control owners.
The SharePoint admins also are listed as Farm admins.
Because there is only 1 secondary site collection owner permitted, if that is the means by which someone gets access to the site collection settings and permissions, then it seems like we would have to keep changing the secondary owner quite frequently.
You mentioned being able to set permissions on "the group" to have rights.
Which group? The Personal Sites Owners group of our mysites web app? Or another group?
Thank you for your help!
