Yosemite Mail preferences are not saved

Hello,
I just update my Yosemite to 10.10.3.
After some problems with Mail, I've been forced to delete container files and enveloppe index file, all is better except that now mail doesn't saved preferences anymore..
Also, the windows positions are not saved as well...
Last information: ON my preferences folder, I got only com.apple.mail-shared.plist file, but no com.apple.mail.plist file... Doesn't now if it's normal or not..
Thanks for your help
Here is the transcript of my console file:
14/04/2015 18:00:18,388 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent) The _DirtyJetsamMemoryLimit key is not available on this platform.

}>

But should I see a com.apple.mail.plist file ?
No, not in Yosemite.
Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • Preference are not saved when leaving Photoshop elements 10

    Hi,
    Each time I leave photoshop elements 10 (bought on Apple Store), A windows says that I don't have the required rights and my preference are not saved. Each time I restart the program it is re-installing the effect as if it's a new install.
    Any change done in preference window is not taken into consideration.
    I understood that this is because Photoshop is trying to save on root directory, which is not possible as protected.
    Anyone has a solution as it makes it almost unusable :-( How can I change the right or tell photoshop to save the preference file somewhere else?
    I use Mountain Lion.
    Thanks

    I do not need to install when I get from Apple Store. When I start for first time after downloading, photoshop starts first by creating content and effect window. After that the program works normally.
    Except when I want to quit, another window open telling me that I don't have the users rights to save my preference.
    If I restart again Photoshop it restart from scratch and tries to re-install content and effects, which should only done once.
    My problem is that I bought the version 10 in february this year and I was not aware that a new version was coming, so I don't want toinvest another 69 Euros....I would at least have my version 10 working properly.

  • With 'Mail v8' and 'Yosemite' accounts settings are not saved and I keep having to check the "SSL" box

    With 'Mail v8' and 'Yosemite' 'mail' "account settings" are not saved and I keep having to check the "SSL" box. This has only occurred since upgrade to Yosemite?
    Any help would be appreciated as this is so frustrating!!

  • Mail settings are not saved any more

    Hi,
    after my mailbox structure has crashed, I tried to reset Mail as explained in this answer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22302114#22302114
    After restarting Mail all settings were deleted (as expected) and I set up my accounts and settings again. Then I recognized that the settings are not saved any more. I tried some times but Mail didn't save the settings.
    I hope there is a chance to fix this problem.
    Thanks for help.

    Thanks for linked document but I find it funny and someone rude that the article assumes that EVERYONE knows the lingo used - i.e. Profile Folder is in "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\" . Where the hell is that???? Jesus, it's much easier to switch to Chrome.

  • Toolbar reset / preferences are not saved

    Preferences are not being saved and the Firefox Updated tab shows every time. I updated to 5.0 a while ago, but have just recently started having this problem. I cannot think of any programs I have recently installed.
    I updated all my plugins, but currently have everything disabled.
    I do not have a Prefs.js or User.js file in my profile folder (and I made sure to show all hidden files). I am not sure if that might be causing the issue.
    I have followed all the steps on the following support pages, cleared all history and restarted the computer.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved
    *https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Toolbar%20keeps%20resetting?s=toolbar+reset&as=s
    '''--EDIT--'''
    I did recently get Comcast and had to install the stupid desktop tools to activate the modem. I uninstalled their software, but I may have started having the problem around that time.

    Hey Willy,
    Sorry, that was the first thing that came to my mind.
    Maybe if you restart and login to that account try those settings you want to do and restart again to see if that works ( it's what i do when i use windows ).
    Might or might not work.  Just a thought.
    cheers..

  • Preferences are not saved properly

    A while back, I was doing something "complicated", with several programs open at the same time, and GarageBand crashed. Nothing unusual.
    But since then, every time I open GB, two error messages come up: The first one says: "Error reading/writing file "com.apple.garageband.cs":" and lets you click "cancel". The second one says: "The preferences are not loaded completely. Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data." and lets you click "OK".
    Then, when I want to quit GB, it doesn't simply shut down like usual, or that is to say, it shuts down, but then the message that says that the program has unexpectedly quit and do you want to send an error repport comes up. But then GB apparently still hasn't shut down entirely, and I have to force quit it in order to quit it completely. Because, I suppose, the program is trying to save the Preferences file, in vain, because something (but what?) is prohibiting it from doing so.
    I don't really know what all this means. As far as I can see I haven't actually lost any work because of this yet (but then I haven't searched that deeply), but I would sure like to make sure that doesn't happen.
    Does anybody have any clue what's wrong here and what I can do to fix it?
    All the best

  • Mail passwords are not saved to the Keychain

    This problem seems to relate to the long standing Mail Password issue that has been frustrating many Tiger (and Panther) users.
    Firstly: Mail keeps asking for account passwords in an unpredictable way. Even if I "save these to the keychain" via 'allways allow', I still get the prompts for mail account passwords after waking from sleep or later in the day.
    Secondly: Keychain hasn't stored the passwords at all anyway.
    Thirdly: 'Mail Preferences' doesn't store my account passwords. I re-enter them and they don't show up in the password box.
    This has cropped up since the latest set of security updates in Tiger.
    I have done the following.
    Repaired disc permissions.
    Run Keychain First Aid.
    Re-entered the passwords into Mail Preferences on numerous occasions.
    Run Cocktail utilities to clear caches/rotate logs/ just about everything.
    My Mail is set to send/retrieve every minute. I have re-set this to every 5 minutes, but all of the above problems still apply.
    I am on ADSL broadband via a NetGear router, wirelessly through Airport.
    I think I am correct in assuming this may be a bug in the way Mail handles server traffic but whatever it is, it needs help!

    ok guys, I found out how to fix this.
    First way (harder way):
    1. Open the keychain access application that rests inside your utilities folder.
    2. Push the "Show Keychains" button on the lower left, if your keychains are not visible
    3. In the menu item "file" pick "New Keychain"
    4. Name the new keychain and pick a password
    5. Mark your new keychain and pick "Make Keychain "your keychain" Default"
    6. Pick "Change Settings" from the "Edit" menu and uncheck everything.
    Voilá!
    Alternative and much simpler way:
    I found out that my old keychain simply was not recognized because the extension was removed. So, if you still have your old keychain file saved in the appropriate folder (your user folder(home)->library->keychains), simply add ".keychain" to the name. Open Keychain access to check if it was recognized or not.
    Worked for me.
    Good luck!

  • Safari preferences are not saving in Maverick.

    Hi! My Safari preferences (homepage, open new tab with, remove history items, etc.) are not being saved. Whenever I close out of the app and restart, it reverts back to the default settings.
    Can you provide any insight?
    Thanks!

  • Specific preferences are not saving

    Cookie Settings Are Not Being Saved.
    Since around the 22nd of August 2014 my cookie settings are not being saved; after a browser restart a 'do not accept cookies' setting is always changed to 'Accept cookies from sites' and 'Accept third-parties cookies: Never'. This is the only preference setting that is not being saved, and prior to the 22nd of August 2014 (or thereabouts) my cookie settings were being saved.
    Around this date I selected an option in the program Spybot-SD 2.4 ( http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors/ ) for 'Third party cookies to never be allowed', this may be what's changing my settings, but maybe it's something else. There is no option in Spybot to reverse the selection.
    I contacted Spybot but several suggestions and changes on my system later the issue remains, and Spybot has given up.
    I do not have any of the programs installed that are known to force Firefox to use certain settings, as listed at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save .
    Thus far I have:
    - on URL about:config , changed the network.cookie.cookieBehavior value to 2,
    - deleted all the lines in the user.js file,
    - uninstalled Spybot completely,
    but none of these actions have resolved the issue.
    I do not wish to Reset or Reinstall Firefox unless this is the last option. Please advise whether there is another option to fix this issue.

    Thank you cor-el, your suggestions solved the problem. Following the instructions at:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    I found that a faulty extension was the culprit, after removing it my cookie settings were being saved again. After restarting Firefox and reinstalling the same extension the cookie settings are still being saved.

  • Java folding preferences are not saved

    Hello all,
    I have recently installed the latest version (11.1.1.2.0) of Oracle Jdeveloper and it seems that I'm not able to save my preferences for java folding. Every time I restart jdev, the default preferences seem to be restored. This doesn't seem to happen for other preferences like code templates.
    Any ideas? Where are these preferences saved? Is there any file I could verify?
    Thanks.
    wf
    P.S. I've also noticed that some of my old preferences were not migrated (e.g. code templates) but maybe this is for another topic.

    Sorry on the typo, yes.
    Maybe you can try deleting your system directory (OK, don't delete it, just rename it so you can restore after testing), don't migrate prefs and see if the problem reproduces. If it doesn't reproduce, then you'd have a perfect test case to show that migrating prefs breaks something.

  • My preferences are not saving in Photoshop Elements 11

    I run elements 11 on a Windows 7 OS.  Every time I go to edit a photo and go to the expert tab it used to save my windows settings like, the layers on the right hand side and now EVERY photo I have to pull everything up the way I like it before I can edit.  I'm not sure why it's not saving them.

  • Preferences are not saving. Each time I start Fire Fox it acts as if it is my first time starting the program.

    Each time I open Fire Fox, it acts as if it is the first time I'm opening the program. The 'Welcome to Fire Fox' first-run page always shows up when I open the program.
    None of my preferences, like the custom themes, save - however my bookmarks, which I chose to have transferred over from my previous Fire Fox, seem to be saving.
    I have version 5.01
    Also, I tried all of the steps from this help page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved?s=settings+don%27t+save+after+firefox+is+closed&as=s
    However, I am unable to delete or make changes (such as renaming) the ''Prefs'' file because it keeps telling me that the file is open. However, when ever I go to my task manager there is nothing under the name or description of Fire Fox running. So I can't figure out how to close this file that is supposedly still open.

    Which security software (firewall, Anti-virus software) do you have?
    Make sure that it isn't locking the .js file(s) in the Firefox Profile Folder

  • My systems preferences are not saved from each previous session! Mark

    Each time I start up my new iMac computer, the system preferences I set up in my previous session are lost! Can anybody help me figure out what I need to do to make my preferences persist?

    Usually a loss of preferences after reboot or logout is attributed to user permission issues.
    First reboot your system then try this:
    1. Open a Finder window.
    2. Choose "Go" from your top menu bar.
    3. Choose "Home"
    4. Choose "File from your menu bar.
    5. Choose "Get info"
    6. Open the "Sharing & Permissions section using the disclosure arrow.
    7. Unlock the padlock in the corner with your password.
    8. Click the little gear button.
    9. Choose "Apply to enclosed items"
    10. Once process is done set your preferences and attempt a restart of the system.

  • Viewing preferences are not saved / remembered "show pages side by side"

    Hello all,
    I just uploaded a PDF document to Acrobat.com. After it loads i need to click on "" show pages side by side" or "click to view a single page at a time" to get viewed fitted on the screen. Is there an option that the PDF always load "show pages side by side". I already added those preferences in the PDF but no result in the Acrobat.com function. But if i open it in Acrobat Pro it will open pages side by side"  and if i open it in Acrobat it will open side by side.
    Does anyone got an idea if this is possible?
    Best regards,
    Phillip

    Hello Phillip,
    Thank you for posting to the Acrobat.com forum. It's a very good point that you bring up: there is currently no way to save PDF preview preferences in Acrobat.com (unfortunately, the Acrobat.com PDF preview will not respond to settings within the document, as it's just a preview and not the file itself). We don't currently have any explicit plans to include such a feature, but I would strongly encourage you to bring this idea over to our Acrobat.com Ideas site:
    http://ideas.acrobat.com
    This site is where people who use Acrobat.com can post their ideas and suggestions to the team and tell us what they'd like to see in the service. This seems like a viable candidate for posting there; I recommend taking a look and posting this thought so that the Acrobat.com team will have the chance to see it and consider it for a future release.
    Thanks again!
    Rebecca
