TidBITS Networking: Achieving Email Bliss with IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail - 0 views

shared by Bakari Chavanu on 28 Sep 09 - Cached
  • Well, that's what I intended to do, anyway. The more I wrote, the more I realized how many aspects of the IMAP/Gmail/Mail universe are unclear or confusing, as evidenced by the many email messages I've received on those subjects, and as feedback to my books ("Take Control of Apple Mail in Leopard" and "Take Control of Spam with Apple Mail") and my Macworld articles on the topic. So, what I thought would be a straightforward article has turned into a manifesto. (That means it's quite long, and somewhat opinionated - fair warning!) And, I admit it: I've written it for a largely selfish reason, which is to save myself from having to explain this information repeatedly in email messages! But I do hope you'll find it interesting and helpful if you've ever struggled with the combination of IMAP, Gmail, and Mail.
  • POP and IMAP are both methods of retrieving messages from a mail server. (In fact, many mail servers support both protocols, enabling you to access the same messages in either way.) The most common way to explain the difference between POP and IMAP is this: With POP, you download all your messages to your computer, whereas with IMAP, all your messages remain on the server. That's more or less true, but it overlooks several important points.
  • In the first place, IMAP servers, unlike POP servers, can keep track of flags for each message, indicating things like which messages have been read, forwarded, or replied to. With POP, your local email client has to track this information. That means if you download a bunch of messages on computer A using POP but leave them on the server, and then switch to computer B, you can still download the messages again, but they'll all appear to be unread - computer B won't know which messages you've seen, filed, or otherwise dealt with, because that information isn't kept on the POP server.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Second, speaking of filing, another key difference between POP and IMAP is that POP has just one mailbox - your inbox - on the server, whereas an IMAP server can have any number of mailboxes. So, if you check your email on computer A and move a certain message to your Read mailbox, and then check your email on computer B, that message will appear in the Read mailbox there as well.
  • If you use IMAP, you absolutely can have local copies of all your email messages, in their entirety, on your computer, and you can read, search, file, and do anything else you want to do with those messages even if you have no Internet connection at all - just as you can when you use POP.
  • And, as a bonus, you can use IMAP as a sort of rudimentary email backup. Even if your disk crashes or your computer is stolen, you'll still have a copy of all your messages on the server.
  • IMAP does have a couple of downsides, which may or may not be significant to you. First, most IMAP servers impose a storage quota on each user. If that quota is fairly low (say, 1 GB), you could run out of space for all your messages, forcing you to move some off the server to a mailbox that's stored only on your computer.
  • Apple Mail, which is a much better IMAP client than some, nevertheless has a handful of quirks in its handling of IMAP that can drive one to distraction. If you combine Mail's IMAP oddities with those of a less-than-standard IMAP server - Web Crossing, I'm looking at you - you could easily have unpleasant experiences that may lead you to the erroneous conclusion that IMAP itself is buggy or poorly designed. (Later on, I'll get into the even weirder ways that Gmail deals with IMAP.)

    What's the one thing you hate about gadgets? I hope you answered battery life, because that's at the top of my list. Battery life has gone downhill, and it probably has everything to do with convergence, at least when it comes to cell phones equipped with music players, video cameras, and video games. iPhone 3G users have been complaining about the phone's battery life since its release, and the battery on my first gen iPhone has been doing worse since I updated the software earlier this year. So what's an iPhone owner to do?

So to help you weed through the clutter, here are 10 applications that I’ve stumbled across that you really should get your hands on…in alphabetical order.

    On October 6, 1997, in response to the question of what he'd do if he was in charge of Apple Computer, Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell stood before a crowd of several thousand IT executives and answered flippantly, "What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." A little more than a month later, on November 10, 1997, new Apple Interim CEO (iCEO) Steve Jobs responded, speaking in front of an image of Michael Dell's bulls-eye covered face, "We're coming after you; you're in our sights."

  • the installer creates the first user account. This is the important bit: it is an administration account – call it “Administrator” or something like that and create another for yourself afterwards (if you’re a UNIX head, this is not root, which is disabled).

      David Corking on 11 Apr 09
       
      Q: Why doesn't the installer _tell_ you this? It looks and feels like an ordinary unix user with 'sudo' access, but according to Tao, it can be troublesome. A: My guess is that Apple doesn't want you to have to remember two passwords. Perhaps Apple decided, unlike Tao, that the security of asking for passwords for important tasks is good enough.
  • Create your own Applications folder inside your home directory (Mac OS X will change the icon accordingly) and try out new stuff in there.
  • drag the entire Applications folder to the right-hand side of the Dock, forming what Apple calls a “stack”

  • Put things you want to share among users in the /Users/Shared folder.
  • Set up separate accounts for kids using the Simple Finder or Some Limits option under the Limitations tab.

      In Mac OS X 10.4, you find this in preferences under Accounts, and click the "Parental Controls" tab, then select Finder and click Configure .... I don't think there is a "Limitations" tab.

    This article is packed with great tips that you won't find in other introductory tutorials. Therefore it is a bit heavy to read, and worth dipping into even if you have used Macs for a year or two.

Sanguinity › iPhone/iPod Touch pen - 0 views

shared by Jonathan Drouillard on 29 Jan 10 - Cached
  • I needed an iPod Touch pen right now
  • Second thought: Static electricity would be built up in steel wool and probably pass it down from my hand to my display. So, I balled up a piece the size of a dime and rolled it across the sliding bar… success!
  • Finally, I broke open a bic pen, pulled off a few lines of steel wool, and spiraled it across the pen, sticking the excess in the opening at the bottom. After a few tests, I knew I hit gold. I then hot glue gunned some glorious grips here and there and to keep the wool from shedding, and filled the inside with hot glue. Now I have a working iPod Touch pen for what amounts to 30 cents at a hardware store.

    Millions and millions of people use iMessage every day. But how many people know exactly what's going on behind the scenes, or what happens to a message once you send it? Maybe a handful. Up until now, the vast majority of what we knew about iMessage's inner workings came from reverse engineering and best guesses.
