Why are messages in "Inbox" and in Gmail's "All Mail"?

Hi. I've set up Mail in 10.5 to download my Gmail account using IMAP. Why do messages show up in my "Inbox" and in Gmail's "All Mail"? If I want to delete a message, I have to delete it twice, once from each location. The messages appear in my "Mailboxes" and in my "Gmail" headers. Can I remove the "Mailboxes"? Thanks for your help.

that is normal behavior for gmail imap actually and is the result of time delay in syncing between the inbox and the all mail mailbox, in other words, even though you read an email in inbox, it may show up as unread in all mail. to avoid confusion you could go to mail>preferences>general and choose "inbox" for your "dock unread count" option. As for all mail, that is where gmail stores all the emails in your gmail account. so if you delete an email in that mailbox, then that email and the entire thread it is associated with, i.e. replies/forwards... may be deleted too. so, if you have created other mailboxes in your gmail imap account such as work, family, vacation... then be carefuly. my suggestion is, if you indeed have such mailboxes, then do not erase email in all mail, but concentrate on the trash and sent folders. additionally, but from your post i am sure you did so already, you need to make sure your gmail account is properly mapped. in gmail, next to all mail, are there other mailboxes such as sent/trash/delete/junk? if so, select one and go to the mail menu mailbox>use this mailbox for.. and choose the appropriate mailbox. repeat the process until done and you should have only the all mail and starred mailboxes left in gmail.
finally, if you do not use additional mailboxes in gmail to store emails, and do not plan to do so, then you could add "inbox" in mil>preferences>accounts>advanced... in the imap path prefix and the offending mailboxes you allude to will disappear. note that if you do use other mailboxes, then these will disappear also.
hope this helps

Why are you disabling photos and links in my e-mails?

When I receive an e-mail in my inbox and it contains images and links, I expect to be able to see the images and click the links. What the hell is this crap, Mozilla?

Why are messages not dequeuing and stuck in the ready state?

Messages are successfully enqueueing but not dequeuing and are stuck in ready state (STATE = 0). The ENQ_TIME is 5 hours ahead of system time. In one environment, AQ is working (10g 10.2.0.4.0). In the other environment, it is not working (11g 11.2.0.3.0).

How to create a folder (in unified folders) which contains all the messages of inboxes and outboxes

Hi, i've searched without success how to create a folder (in unified folders) which contains all the messages of inboxes and outboxes (as it exists in Windows Live Mail).
For me, it would be very useful to search in only one folder when i try to find something in sent and received mails.
Thank's

This is what Unified Folders does. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to achieve.

HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?

Hi there,
I got the program below. I am wondering why are the threads start and terminate randomly? Everytime, I run the program, it produces different results.
I know that these four threads have got same normal priority (should be 5), and under windows there is something called timeslice. Then these four threads rotate using this timeslice. How do we know what exactly the timeslice is in seconds? If the timeslice is fix, then why the results are ramdom?
Thanks in advance!

MyThreadOne(String threadName) {
tName = threadName;
t = new Thread(this, tName);
t.start();

try {
System.out.println("Thread: " + tName);

// Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(
"Exception: Thread main interrupted.");
System.out.println(
"Terminating thread: main thread.");
1. Firstly, I set in the main function:
Thread.sleep(10000);
and I run the program it gives:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Run it again, it gives:
Thread: 2
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
And my question was why it outputs like this? It suppose to be:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Why these four threads start and finish randomly each time I run the program? I use Windows, suppose there is a timeslice (i.e. 1 second), these threads have the same priority. Then the threads should start and finish in turn one by one. Am I right?
2. My second question is:
When I change the codes in the 'main' function into:
Thread.sleep(10000); -> Thread.sleep(2000);
it gives me the results like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 2
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
Run it again:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
I tried several times. The main thread always terminates before or after the first child thread finished.
My question is why it doesn't output something like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
or
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: main thread.

After syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable

after syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable?

If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to drag and drop tracks on to the iPhone and the music will be grayed out.
You'll have to Manually Manage the music.
Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
If you have iTunes 7 or later*, follow these instructions:
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
Click Apply.
Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

GMail IMAP All Mail does not match Apple Mail

I have a GMail account that I also access via Apple Mail setup as IMAP. I've been trying to delete some emails from this GMail account. I first did the delete in Apple Mail (AM) but somehow the deleted emails would show up a few minutes later. So next I did the delete directly on the web based GMail account. After I got done, the emails seemed to have been deleted on my GMail account. At this time I had ~11,000 items in the GMail All Mail folder.
But when I looked at AM, the IMAP Gmail All Mail has over 21,000 items which includes all of the items I had deleted from GMail.
I tried deleting the IMAP account all together and made sure that the GMail IMAP folders in the Library was removed. Then I recreated the IMAP account in AM and within about 30 minutes, all of the 21,000 items including the emails that no longer exists in the web based GMail account came back.
I like the convenience of having access to All Mail in my AM but it seems I don't have control over the contents. Can anyone explain what is going on and how I might be able to actually delete the files within AM?

"what I mean is that you have two copies of everything in Apple Mail. everything that's in your gmail inbox in Mail or in any of the other mailboxes is duplicated in the All mail mailbox."
I don't keep them in both places, after I have read the message and have responded, I delete the message from my AM inbox because I know a backup already exists in All Mail.
this is up to you and you can do as you like but this is the long way to do it and you'll be fighting gmail as you are if you keep using it. it's much simpler IMO to keep messages you don't want to delete in your inbox. as it is you do download every message twice even if you delete one copy afterward.
I want to clean out all of the junk mail that gets kept by GMail in All Mail and that is why I am trying to delete these items.
that's just it. there is no easy way to do it. All Mail is the master mailbox for everything you ever received. gmail wants to keep all of them forever and they are hard to get rid of.
I seem to have deleted them from the web GMail but they keep showing back up in the AM All Mail. That must mean GMail is still keeping these "deleted" items somehow/somewhere so that when I create a new IMAP account, AM is downloading them again.
I suspect you haven't emptied trash in webmail gmail.

Why aren't all incoming messages going to Gmail- Inbox, but they're in All Mail?

Sorry if this has been answered, I haven't seen a suitable answer anywhere.
I have lots of incoming emails I can only view in the All Mail folder nested under Gmail, but they never showed up in Inbox. Is there a reason or setting new emails are only seen in All Mail but not Inbox? How can I fix this?
I'm using the newest TB, don't know anything about imap/pop settings. I really appreciate any info you can provide, thanks!

First thing I'd check are the filters for that account. Both in T-bird and on gmail itself. Tools > Message Filters
Next, I'd check to see where they actually are. Open (click on) your "All Mail" folder > Right click the column header > Check "Location" (see image). This will add a column that indicates the folder(s) in which your messages are located.
Once you check these 2 things we can go from there. Screenshots may help http://www.worldtruth.org/document/69/screenshot-how-to/
T-bird will usually use the correct IMAP/POP settings automatically using the Mozilla data-base.

Why are messages in Sent Folder marked as Junk?

I have a new Intel iMac with Safari 2.0.3. A few days ago I noticed that all the messages in the Sent Folder are marked as Junk with the brown color band at the top and the message saying "You have marked this messages as Junk." I have no rules in place to cause this and my incoming mail is filtered using the Advanced feature. I have no idea why mail I have composed and sent would be marked at all, much less as junk. Any help is solving this would be appreciated. Also, I noticed a lot of postings about mail in Sent Folders being lost. I wonder if that mail was marked as Junk first, like mine, and then moved into the Trash based on a rule to throw junk mail away. I have no rules to move junk mail to the trash.

I'm also having the same issue. I think there's a correlation between whether or not a message is auto-saved as a Draft and whether or not it shows up as UNREAD in your Sent folder. For instance, if I write a quick message (~10 seconds) and send, then is has not had time to be auto-saved as a Draft and does not show up as UNREAD in the Sent folder. However, if I leave a new message open long enough (~2 minutes or more) then it has auto-saved in the Drafts folder, where it has received a UNREAD marking. Then, when I send the item, it is moved to the Sent folder, but retains the UNREAD marking.
Does anyone see this correlation on their system?

Messages In Inbox and sent mailbox have disappeared

I have been using my mac e-mail for a considerable time with no problems however in the last month, I have lost virtually all of my messages in both my inbox and sent mailbox> I have checked my preferences and the deletion of e-mails is set to 'never'. Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to stop it from happening. Thanks.

You’re welcome.
If the *.emlx files associated with those messages are gone from the filesystem, rebuilding mailboxes or re-creating the index cannot make them reappear.
There is no way to know what may have happened if you don’t know when it happened and what did you do that could have a bearing on it. What you mention about moving data between computers could certainly have a bearing on it when it happened the first time, but there is no way to know what the problem exactly was in that case either with the information you’ve provided...
If the messages are nowhere to be found and you don’t have a backup, you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Beware, however, that anything you’ve done with the computer since the messages were deleted may have caused them to be overwritten, which makes me believe your chances of recovering them now are pretty low...

Messages in Inbox and Folders Deleted

Hello there,
I had this problem before with my N82 and I thought I resolved it. I have the messages saved on my memory card, a couple of month ago, every time I went to the inbox my phone froze and the folders were deleted. I was told to update the software.
When I did that it worked and the messages in the inbox and the folders were restored. Last night the same thing happened again, I updated the software again but I had the latest update, and it didn't fix the problem. I toke it to the store and tech there told me they can't do a thing if the messages are gone, I went to the nokia care center and they said there is probably a virus on your phone, and I should scan my memory card. I have kaspersky antivirus but I can't scan the memory card. Everything else on the memory card is still there, pictures, clips, and music.
Please I need help !
Kind regards,
Wissam M Sader

Why are "Signatures" so Unreliable and Buggy?

Using OS 10.5.4
Ok, why are the Mail "Signatures" so buggy and unreliable? I opened Mail today and when I go new Message my signature do not show up. They worked fine yesterday.
I went into the Preferences and under "All Signatures" it shows that I have 2 signatures, but when I click on my 2 different mail accounts (below "All Signatures") the signatures are missing.
I didn't change anything to make them not work so what's up?
Also when I create a new message I can't choose a signature from the little drop down in the email. Why is that?
Very frustrated signatures have never worked properly.
Thanks

Your signatures are stored as webarchive files in your <home>/Library/Mail/Signatures folder. There should be a webarchive file for each signature and they in turn are referenced in a SignaturesByAccount.plist file within the same folder. It is possible that the plist file has become corrupted and/or the signature files are corrupted. Move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file to the desktop and then re-create your signatures to see if that resolves the problem.
