Mail.app - About reindexing messages

4macs — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:02:25 +0000

If there are problems with information in your mailboxes, it may be necessary to reindex your messages. During this process, certain Mail folders on your computer are moved to another location, such as your desktop. When Mail is reopened, it rereads and reindexes all messages in all local mailboxes. The reindexing process can take several minutes depending on how many messages are in your local mailboxes.

When Mail detects a problem with your mailboxes, it may alert you that it needs to repair them by reindexing your messages. At other times, you can reindex messages yourself. To do so, quit Mail and, in the Mail folder in your home Library folder, move the Envelope Index file and any folders that begin with “Mac-”, “Exchange-”, or “IMAP-” to a different location, such as your desktop. When you reopen Mail, it reindexes all messages.

Mail.app - Rebuilding mailboxes

4macs — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:01:18 +0000

In some cases, you might need to rebuild a mailbox to update the list of messages in the mailbox–for example, if messages appear to be missing or garbled, or if you can’t find all relevant messages by searching. Rebuilding a mailbox can take awhile; it’s recommended for fast Internet connections only.

To rebuild a selected mailbox:

Choose Mailbox > Rebuild.

For IMAP accounts, locally cached messages and attachments are discarded and the messages and attachments are downloaded again from the server to your computer. Your mailbox appears empty until the download is complete.

Aligning Kerio Webmail and Apple Mail

4macs — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:49:46 +0000

You may have noticed that your Sent, Trash, and Drafts folders differ depending were you view them. The problem is that Mail.app doesn’t look for existing folders with the name Sent, Drafts, or Trash (or Deleted) in them; it creates ones with those names. Furthering the confusion, you can’t change these in the Kerio Webmail interface. Read on to learn how to minimize the confusion.

UPDATE – I’ve discovered that if you set up your Mail account as an Exchange account (vs. an IMAP account), this is not necessary.

Identify the correct folders

Since you can’t change the folders that Kerio Webmail uses, Mail.app has to be the one that yields. When you log into Webmail, note the subtle difference in the name of the folders; Kerio includes the word "Items" in the various folders. The Inbox on both systems the same but Webmail uses Deleted Items and Sent Items. For some reason, though Drafts is the same, but Mail.app doesn’t find it, either. Once identified, move your mail from the old/wrong folder to the correct folder.

In the example above, you’ll see a system that shows both Deleted Items and Deleted Messages. Deleted Items is the folder Webmail uses, and Deleted Messages is the one Mail.app uses.

Prepar to move the existing messages

This step can be done in Mail.app or Web mail. It’s FAR FASTER to do it in Webmail. And you can speed up this process by changing the number of messages in your list from 25 to 200 in Webmail’s Settings dialog box.

Select the OLD mail folder in the list of folders. Select all in the list of messages. Right (Control)-Click to see the menu on the right above and select Move or Copy.

Move the messages

As you click Move or Copy in the previous step, this new window will open. Click Move to get the messages from one folder to the other.

Switch to Mail.app

Now is a good time to tell you about a irritation in Apple Mail; Mail.app doesn’t show you all of the folders that reside on the mail server easily. You’ll find a list of all the folders on the Mail server under the label that contains the name of your account (the name of the account is arbitrary, and it is set or changed in Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts -> {name of your account} -> Account Information -> Description)

To see the folder that Kerio Webmail is using for Sent, Trash, and Drafts, turn the arrow down next to the account name.

All Folder View

When you click the arrow next to a folder or account name, the contents are shown (just like most any other Mac application that presents / hides information in lists and sub lists).

Select the Sent Items folder

This is where you alter where Mail.app stores it’s messages for the various folders. Select the Sent Items folder as shown.

Assign the new Mailbox use

After you selected the proper Sent folder in the previous step, use the Mailbox menu to select Use This Mailbox For -> Sent. Mail will swap the folders to their new use, so make sure you check to make sure the old folder still doesn’t have any mail left in it, or that you have another computer that needs this modification.

And the repeat the above steps (starting at Step 1) for the Trash/Deleted, Junk and Deleted folders.

And keep this tip around because every so often, Mail resets this preference for you.

Dags för årets fight

Monne — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:37:00 +0000

Imorgon lördag är det äntligen dags för årets fight, en riktig pillerthriller kommer det med allra största säkerhet bli när två av världens populäraste boxare ska drabbas samman i klassiska MGM Grand Arena i Las Vegas. Jag pratar såklart om Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao och Miguel “Junito” Cotto. Pacman har en popularitetsnivå i Filipinerna klart jämförbar med USA:s megastjärnor som Madonna och en ung Mike Tyson. Cotto har även han ett massivt stöd i sitt hemland, Peurto Rico. Men intresset för dessa två fighters sträcker sig vida över deras hemländers gränser. Därför är det ledsamt att inte fighten finns i några av de svenska tv-tablåerna.

Båda boxarna har en stolthet och karaktär i sin boxning som tillsammans har alla möjligheter att lyfta varandra till nya höjder. Jag skulle inte bli förvånad om denna drabbning kommer utnämnas till årets fight.

Som sagt så finns det inte någon svensk tv-kanal som kommer sända matchen. Skandal om du frågar mig. Men lugn det finns andra sätt att se fighten. Kolla in justin.tv eller www.myp2p.eu.

Uppdaterat: Video om Pacmans humana sidor och hans otroliga popularitet.

Och för allt i världen, missa inte ex-boxaren Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafssons debut i UFC på lördag! Man kan aldrig vara säker på att man får se honom då han fightas på förmatchprogrammet men det kan vara värt att chansa.

Help! Mail.app won't let me send messages!

4macs — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:26:33 +0000

We can thank the spammers and scammers for this one. Our Internet providers are trying to keep us safe and their networks free from attack and spewing spam messages to everyone, but in doing so, it makes it hard for us to send messages. These steps should minimize the problems you have sending mail when you are on a hotel or conference wifi network.

What is the problem?

When you are at work, your email sedning functions normally, but when you move away from work, the email refuses to go. It must be something wrong with your computer, right? Maybe, but maybe not. Most likely you are on a network that disallows Mail from being sent over the standard port. And not only does it not allow the standard port, it tricks Mail.app into thinking mail is being sent (Connection Doctor works), but the messages really don’t go anywhere.

Your friend – Connection Doctor

If you are having Mail sending problems, the first thing you want to try is the Connection Doctor. Access this feature by choosing Window -> Connection Doctor. If you get green lights, that usually means things are working. But, if not, read on….

Standard Mail Client Settings

The screenshot above shows how probably 99% of all Mail.app setups are configured. This is supposed to work everywhere. Well, everywhere but where you are right now, that is. Apple has done something nice for us here – Mail.app attempts to send mail on port 25 (this is the standard port for all email traffic; unfortunately, it’s heavily abused by spammers and scammers), and if that doesn’t work, it tries port 465 and then port 587 (465 and 587 are “alternate ports” for email sending, and usually requires SSL to be enabled). The problem depends on HOW the network in your location is determining what you are doing on port 25. Getting really technical, it is possible to allow port 25 to be open to verify connectivity (what Connection Doctor does) but not allow mail to be sent. Quite simply, Mail THINKS it can send mail on port 25, but the mail server on the other side never sees the connection attempt.

How do I fix it?

Make one simple change, as shown in the red box. Rather than allowing Mail to figure out what port to use, force it to port 465 (or 587, your choice, and if one doesn’t work, try the other). You access this screen by choosing Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) -> Edit Server List -> Advanced.

Now that was easy, wasn’t it.

If all else fails?

Use your webmail interface! That’s why it’s there!

iCal nits and picks

4macs — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:33:54 +0000

How to get the most out of iCal on 10.5 and 10.6

iCal automaticaly puts events on the wrong page!

This is a screenshot from 10.5, but 10.6 is very similar. If iCal is set to automatically retrieve invitations from Mail, it puts them on the top-most calendar. This is frequently a non-shared calendar (such as Home), and those calendars can’t be moved or made non-primary. You have two options: 1) Disable the feature in iCal to automatically retrieve invitations from mail and drag the ical attachment in the message to the correct calendar; 2) Delete your Home calendar, and, if needed, add another Calendar (but keep this one private, if you wish) on your Calendar server.

iCal takes a LONG time to start up/sync

If your iCal takes a long time to start up or sync, asking iCal to Delete events x days after they have passed, the sync time will speed up dramatically. If 30 days is too short, set it for anything, such as 60 or 90 days. This way it doesn’t have to sync events so far in the past. If you really need to save your calendar for future reference, Export the calendar and then re-import it to a local (non-server-synced) calendar after you have deleted the events. And if you don’t want to do this automatically, set yourself a reminder in iCal do do this once a quarter.

How do I change the COLOR of my various calendars?

This one has a strange solution. If it’s a calendar you control, meaning it’s a calendar you created and it resides on your iCal, or you subsribed to it, just Get Info on the calendar and change the color. If you aren’t the owner of the calendar (meaning it is a calendar you see but it’s based on a Caldav server), ask the owner of that calendar to change it. Once that is done, quit iCal and start it again, and when it syncs, it will pick up the new color. Now the trick is getting everyone to pick a different color. Sorry, I can’t help with that.

I want to sync my Google/Gmail or Google Apps calendar to iCal, but I get errors

To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple’s iCal, follow these steps:
Open Apple iCal, go to iCal > Preferences and then the Accounts tab.Click on the + button to add an account.Under Account Information, enter your Google Account username and password.Under Server Options, add the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/charlietheguide@gmail.com/user

Replace ‘charlietheguide@gmail.com’ with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the ‘@domain.com’ portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.Click Add.Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you’d like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You’ll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
The two main points of clarification here are:

- removing the space from the end of the URL
- making sure you include the ‘@domain.com’ portion in the URL

You can also check this web site for future updates or changes to these instructions.

iCal just won’t work

Sometimes, try as you might, you can’t get iCal to function AT ALL. If you want to reset iCal, first, make sure you’ve backed up your data by selecting each calendar and choosing File -> Export. Then, open the Terminal application (found in the Utility folder (Go – > Utilities) and paste in this line:

rm -rf ~/Library/{Caches,Caches/Metadata,Preferences,Application\ Support}/*iCal*

This will remove all your calendars, caches, and other data from iCal so you can start from scratch.

Then you can re-set up your Caldav accounts and import your previously backed up/exported calendars and get a fresh start.

You should use this only as a last resort.

All About Columns

4macs — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:10:41 +0000

Adjusting Column Widths

In many programs, what you see on the screen is presented in columns. Good examples of this are spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel and Apple’s Numbers) and mail readers (Microsoft Entourage and Apple’s Mail.app). Adjusting these columns isn’t necessarily obvious, so here is how you do it:

Place your cursor carefully on the dividing line between the column headings (Mail.app’s headings are shown below, but the idea is the same regardless of the application).

The cursor will change into a vertical line with horizontal arrows coming from each side. An enlarged picture of the cursor is shown.

When the cursor changes, you can drag horizontally. Doing so makes the column to the left of your cursor wider or narrower.

What is interesting about this activity is watching the computer scramble to rewrite it’s information to fit the space you give it. For example, as you make the Date Received column narrower, “Monday, November 2, 2009, 1:43 PM” Shrinks first to “Mon, Nov 2, 2009, 1:43 PM” to “11/2/09, 1:43 PM and finally to the terse “11/2/09.”

Rearranging Columns in Mail.app and Entourage.

Once you’ve adjusted the width of each column, you might want to change which columns are shown or the order in which the columns are shown. This is slightly different in each application, but the general idea is the same.

Mail.app: To change the order of the columns, place the cursor over the column header and the cursor will change to a hand. Click and hold; then drag horizontally to change the order. To add or remove columns, use the View menu and choose Columns and then check or uncheck the columns you want to add or remove. To change the sort order, click on the column header to reverse the sort. Click again to sort the opposite way.

Entourage: Entourage makes this confusing, because depending on where your preview pane is the functionality changes. If your preview pane is on the right, you will not have the option to change the columns, but only to change the the sort method. If your preview pane is below, then you can change the order of the columns by clicking and dragging horizontally (you’ll see the hand cursor); change the sort order by clicking on the column header, and choose which columns are shown in the View -> Columns menu.

Address Autocompletion in iCal with Kerio Mail Server

4macs — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:50:05 +0000

How to get iCal to know your Address Book exists. It’s a “simple” as telling your Mac to look at the Kerio Mail Server as an Open Directory Server. Follow me here, it’s simpler than it sounds.

Open the web interface to your mail server

Usually you do this by entering https://mail.mycompany.com in either Safari or Firefox. Don’t log in! Click the link “Integration with Mac.”

Use the Auto-configure iCal option

Click the Auto-Configure iCal link. It says it needs Mac OS X 10.5, but I have tested this in 10.6 and it works.

Enter your Email username and password

Make sure you enter your email username (and depending on your mail server it might just be the part before the @ symbol, or your entire email address. If you don’t know your email password because your computer stores it for you, click here to learn how to retrieve it from the Keychain.

Click OK to save the file to your computer.

It will go to your Downloads folder, which is the folder that your web browser saves files to. It could be a folder called Downloads in your Home directory, the Desktop, or elsewhere. Read on if you don’t know where this is, I’ll explain further how to find the resulting file. This picture is from Firefox, but Safari is nearly identical.

Firefox Downloads Window

If this window does not pop up after you hit OK in the previous step, navigate to the Tools menu and select Downloads. Note – this file should not be shared among users, because it may contain some information specific to your email account. Each user should download this file individually.

Reveal the download

After the download completes, control-click (or right click if you have a two button mouse) and select Show in Finder. This will switch to the Finder and open the folder that the file was saved to.

Double click on the file

Double click on the Kerio-iCal-Config-Tool.zip to decompress the file and you will then zee the Kerio iCal Config Tool.mpkg. Then double click on the Kerio iCal Config Tool.mpkg to open the Installer.

Install iCal Config Tool

Click Continue

No changes here

Click Install

Enter your COMPUTER password

NOT your email password.

Close iCal

If iCal was running when you started this process, it will stop and ask you to quit that program before you continue. Once iCal is closed, click OK

Enter your Email username and password

This is where the program is configuring your computer for your access to the Mail Server.

Wait a while…

This step can take a few minutes, so allow it to complete. On the two machines I tested this on, it took 4-8 minutes, so be patient.

Open iCal…

and if it asks you for a password, enter your Email password.

Create a new Event

And click Add Attendees….

Type in the name of the person you want to invite

And autofill should now be working. Type as much as you need to identify an attendee, or use the mouse to select an attendee. After the first attendee has been entered, start typing again to add another attendee. Once you hit Done, an email with the event is sent to those users.

View Multiple Contacts in Address Book

4macs — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:05:29 +0000

View Multiple Contacts Instead of single-clicking a contact in Address Book, double-click on the contact to open up that card in its own window. You can do that for as many contacts as you’d like, for easy viewing and editing of multiple contacts.Look at four contacts or more simultaneously with just a double-click.

Create Custom Fields in Address Book

4macs — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:01:40 +0000

If the default Address Book cards don’t have enough fields for all the info you want to collect for your contacts, head to the Template screen in Address Book’s preferences, and click Add Field to add additional fields onto all of your cards. You can also click the little green plus signs to add even more variations of the same type of fields.

Address Book also lets you create your own custom fields. On the same Preferences > Template screen, you can click on most of the field labels and select Custom, where you can name your very own custom fields that will appear on each card.

We’ve already added the custom fields Hours, Referred By, and Rates. You can add even more by choosing Custom from almost any field label.

See a Contact's Group in Address Book

4macs — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:03:16 +0000

It’s easy enough to click on an Address Book group and see which contacts are part of that group. But what if you want to go the other way around and see which groups a particular contact belongs to? Simply hold down the Option key after you’ve selected the contact’s card, and Address Book will highlight all the groups that person is a part of.

Holding down Option shows us that this contact belongs to six groups.

Lo Zoo di 105 (quasi) senza veli

paoblog — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 08:04:29 +0000

E’ il programma più seguito del pomeriggio radiofonico, il più citato nelle chat e nei blog delle community del web. E, di certo, il più dissacrante. Lo Zoo di 105 festeggia i dieci anni di vita. Una lunga parentesi iniziata a New York dove Marco Mazzoli e Gilberto Penza, meglio conosciuto come Gibba, conducevano «105 NY». Fu all’ombra della grande mela che si sviluppò l’idea del programma che debuttò poi nel settembre 1999.

Si è parlato più volte della chiusura dello Zoo, che probabilmente è anche il programma più querelato della radio italiana, con qualcosa come 170 azioni legali intentate nei suoi confronti da aziende e personaggi più o meno vip che non hanno gradito lo sbertucciamento in fm durante gli scherzi telefonici, le gag e le parodie che hanno fatto il successo del programma. Ma sono passati dieci anni e il posto in palinsesto non sembra toglierglielo nessuno.

Per festeggiare l’anniversario, la banda Mazzoli ha deciso di mettersi a nudo e di farlo (quasi) nel vero senso della parola. Manifesti, pagine su quotidiani, apparizioni nello spazio promo delle sale cinematografiche prima dell’inizio dei film, spot su Mtv e Internet. I ragazzi dello zoo si mostrano come mamma li ha fatti, vestiti solo di boxer o slip, proprio come Gattuso, Beckham o i giganti del rugby nelle campagne di underwear dei grandi marchi.

«Forse meno scolpiti e con qualche maniglia dell’amore di troppo – si legge nella nota che accompagna l’avvio dell’iniziativa -, ma sicuramente più simpatici e molto più “umani”».

Marco Mazzoli, Fabio Alisei, Paolo Noise, Wender e Pippo Palmieri come non si sono mai visti, dunque. Già, perché pur essendo voci radiofoniche i cinque zoologi sono ormai anche dei volti, visto che il loro programma va anche in onda anche in tv su Comedy Central e su Mtv e proprio per la versione video sono stati premiati con gli Sky Tw Awards 2008/2009.

Il programma è stato più volte sospeso, in genere dopo alcuni picchi di volgarità che hanno indotto l’emittente a dare una calmata alla trasmissione. Lo scorso gennaio fece molto parlare l’intervento su come seviziare gli animali: era ovviamente in chiave ironica, ma la cosa non piacque a molte associazioni animaliste, a molti alscoltatori e alla stessa emittente che ha addirittura una propria sezione, Radio Bau, dedicata agli amici a quattro zampe.

Mazzoli & Co. chiesero pubblicamente scusa e acquistarono anche uno spazio a pagamento su YouTube per spiegare che forse si era andati sopra le righe ma senza volere intenzionalmente nuocere agli animali, anzi. Il feeling con il pubblico, che peraltro aveva preso le loro difese, ricominciò subito, così come l’andata in onda. E oggi i cinque dello Zoo sono più amati che mai. Anche per questo non ci hanno pensato due volte quando si è trattato di farsi ritrarre in versione nature, certi che alla fine risulteranno ancora più simpatici.

La campagna, fanno sapere dalla radio, è solo la prima di una serie di iniziative che tendono a sviluppare una nuova strategia di riposizionamento del brand. Lo Zoo di 105 nei prossimi giorni sarà anche un magazine e presto verranno lanciati una nuova compilation e una linea di abbigliamento. «Ho già sfilato in passerella all’ultima fashion week di Milano – racconta Mazzoli – e le signore in prima fila mi guardavano e non fissavano il mio viso. Diciamo che me la gioco tranquillamente con Beckham».

Non è andata proprio così, come loro stessi ammettono. Ma avrebbe potuto. E del resto è nel dna stesso dello Zoo, non si capisce mai se ci sono o ci fanno. Hanno inventato anche un nuovo slogan per il loro show: «Il programma che non piace». Facile dirlo quando sai benissimo che non è così.

If you have a Bluetooth cell phone that supports this feature, first pair it with your Mac (go to System Preferences > Bluetooth, click the Plus sign for Set Up New Device, and follow the prompts). Then just click the label of a phone number on one of your address cards, choose Dial from the pop-up menu, and watch in amazement as your cell phone dials the phone number for you.

Our iPhone 3G doesn’t support dialing over Bluetooth, but we could still dial this number in Skype.

Windows freaks

Michel — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:29:33 +0000

Computers en hun OS begin hierover een discussie en je weet het zal net als politiek en geloof uitmonden in een grote welles nietes gesprek zonder eind.

Zo een discussie is er ook gaande op het forum van Computeridee, iemand de gezien de reacties nogal een hekel heeft aan Apple en hun beleid en OS. Teminste als ik de reacties van de persoon zo lees gaat het alleen om de prijs en games.

De persoon gaat er vanuit dat 100% van alle Windowsgebruikers gamed op hun computer, pogingen om de persoon te overtuigen dat er heel veel mensen zijn die niet gamen haalt niks uit.

Met gamen bedoelt men echt spelletjes zoals Call Of Duty enz en niet de online games dat kan ook op een Mac.

Ook is er gepoogd de persoon te overtuigen dat het kiezen voor eenApple computer een bewuste keuze is, dat je meer kwijt bent aan een Apple en dat voor lief neemt gaat er bij hem niet in. Ook hier zijn talloze discussie over en nog steeds gaat het er bij hem niet in, hoe kortzichtig kan men zijn.
Nee volgens hem moet je zelf een pc in elkaar bouwen en Windows er op installeren dat is lekker geodkoop en kan je gamen immers dat doen in zijn ogen 100% van de Windowsgebruikers.

Laat ik een ding duidelijk maken ik ben een Apple gebruiker na jaren Windows te hebben gehad als mijn OS, ik bouwde altijd zelf mijn computers maar het cinstant aanpassen en verbeteren koste mij dermate veel geld en energie dat ik 3 jaar geleden benovergestapt naar Apple.

Deze heb ik nu 3 jaar dag en nacht aanstaan en zoals bij Windows altijd het geval is hij is niet slomer geworden. Ik heb nog steeds een laptop met Windows (zakelijk) waar ik niks anders mee doe dan teksverwerking, en andere zakelijke dingen waarbij ik niks installeer of download wat ik niet nodig heb en deze is nu al zo traag geworden.

Wat me vooral opvalt is de bezieling waarbij deze persoon de tekortkoming van Windows compenseerd met de prijs voor een Apple computer, het feit dat er niet veel games beschikbaar zijn en de keuze voor meer hardware.

Natuurlijk heb je meer keuze in hardware maar wat maakt het de gemiddelde gebruiker nu uit wat voor videokaart een pc heeft en hoeveel keuze je hierin hebt, bij Apple is het heel duidelijk de keuze is beperkt en daarom makelijker te kiezen.
Begrijp me niet verkeert ben niet anti Windows in tegendeel ben wel verrast over hoe Windows 7 draait, stabieler dan Vista o.a. entuurlijk heeft Windows 7 weel veer gecopieerd van Apple maar dat kan je ook zien als compliment.

Persoonlijk zal het me eenworst zijn wat voor OS iemand gebruikt, ben je blij met Windows veel plezier er mee, Ben je tevreden met OSX veel plezier er mee en is een van de andere UNIX varianten (linux, BSD, Open SOlaris enz.) waarmee je tevreden ben blijf er bij maar….

Laat elkaar in waarde er is geen beste OS het is en blijft software gemaakt door de mens en die zal nooit perfect zijn, dat iemand een OS voor hem of haar doeleinde perfect vind dat is een persoonlijke voorkeur zoals ik OSX voor mij als beste vind.

Sort Your List with Smart Groups in Address Book

Address Book doesn’t give you a way to see the creation date of your contacts. It also obscures the updated date if your notes extend beyond the window size. In either case, you can never sort your list by any other criteria except for First Name or Last Name. If you need a list of recently updated contacts, you can create a smart group (File > New Smart Group) where “Card has changed in (x number of days, weeks, months, etc).”

This Smart Group will contain any contacts that we have modified within the last three days
