a little venting re mail busy

Hi all, You know, I remember watching many of you who posted to this list about the in terminal mail busy message. I've been using a Mac since 2009, and until a couple of months ago, had never seen this problem. All I can say, is wow, I so feel your pain. It is so incredibly annoying, I thin

I get the mail busy option sometimes. What does turning on the machine and then pressing command option pr do? Will this work in Snowleopard? Thanks, On Nov 19, 2012, at 11:35 AM, Mike Arrigo wrote: > Press the power button, then hold the keys on the keyboard, that should work. > Original message

Okay, Ann, I just got my question answered, but would I need to use a wired keyboard to do this? I have a bluetooth, and it doesn't seem to be invoked at that point, which makes sense. Kristeen On Nov 19, 2012, at 2:15 AM, Anne Robertson wrote: > Hello Max, > > The PRAM is the Parameter RAM.

Hello Chris, Reinitialising the PRAM can fix all kinds of anomalous behaviour. Cheers, Anne On 19 Nov 2012, at 08:24, Chris Bruinenberg wrote: > Hi. > Sorry, but what does this command do? > What is it useful for? > I just say this portion of the message. -- You received this message becaus

Re: Mail Busy ...

Hello Max, The PRAM is the Parameter RAM. You reinitialise it by shutting down the computer, then holding down the Command, Option, letter R and letter P keys and pressing the Power key. Keep the four keys held down until you've heard the start up chime four times, then release them. Cheers,

Re: Mail Busy ...

I hardly ever get Mail busy messages. I have a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion with 4 gb of RAM and a 128 gb SSD. I have 8 mail accounts and tens of thousands of messages distributed among around 100 or so mailboxes. I have Mail in classic view without the preview pane. I did a clean install

I used to receive a great deal of busy messages also when I was in mail or some other programs but then I updated my ram to 4 gigabytes and things have been running much smoother now. On Nov 17, 2012, at 6:35 AM, Mike Dailey wrote: > I recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.2. Now when I go into Mail,

Re: mail busy?

Yes, mail can be backed up by doing the following: 1. Go to your home folder. 2. Go to library. 3. Go to the folder called mail. 4. Do not open the folder. Just use command c to copy it. 5. go and create a folder with a name like backup archive of my mail or whatever name you like, putting

Re: mail busy?

Jessie, have you got an external drive you can back stuff up too? I'm not talking a time machine backup since it seems your looking for more a long-term storage solution, but you can copy the /User/username/ Library/Mail folder to another location. You could always empty your / User/userna

Re: mail busy?

Hello Jessi, First of all, you should always back up your machine or one day, you'll lose everything! Time Machine makes this easy for you so, please think about getting yourself an external hard drive to use as a Time Machine backup. As for your machine running slow, have you repaired pe

Re: mail busy?

Hi Jessi, as far as I know, TIme Machine does back up old emails, but getting to them, and being able to restore them is a little tricky. Haven't been able to figure that out. What you might look into is getting superduper to back up your stuff. On Aug 7, 2009, at 1:24 AM, Jessi and Gold

Re: mail busy?

When you do a backup with Time Machine, does it back up old E-mail messages? I've never look. In preferences, you can set Mail to empty deleted messages every two weeks or week or whatever. Find me if something else is going whacky and maybe we can talk our way through it. Mark BurningH
