IMAP feature to Gmail and Apple gave us support in Mail 3.1. Now it's driving me CRAZY!
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is in simple terms, where mail is stored on a remote server -No not anyone can access it just like they can't with POP- and is manipulated on that server. Sorry can't think of a clearer explanation right now.
During the day I often move between 5 computers. If I read mail on one machine it will show as being read on the next. If I move mail to a another folder it will be in that folder on the next machine. Same would be true for mail I reply too and so on. I don't need to download mail again to each machine and try to remember what I have done as I do with POP.
Lately, Gmail refuses to delete messages. I'm constantly deleting the same messages and having a hard time figuring out what is going wrong. GRRRmail is what it has become. Not to memtion it also thinks mail from my .Mac Account belongs to it too on my iMac still running under Tiger.
Guess I will be keeping track of discussion on places like Mac OS X Hints to get a grip on IMAP and Gmail. ]]>

It's a shame we don't have more time to give to jQuery.
So far I have found it interesting and want to learn more. I still have question and I'm looking for the best was to implement it. I'm sure things will become clear as I learn more.
Since I'm stuck here at home with this stupid cold, Hopefully I will get a little more time than usual to experiment.
Which one?tag:learningremix.emich.edu,2007:/Fall07/edward_craddock//55.18992007-12-01T19:56:06Z2007-12-01T20:16:47ZA while back, a fellow Mac user asked me one of those "one item questions". If I could install one application on my computer what would it be and also the same for Firefox in regards to plugins. For that...Edward Craddock
Quicksilver. No one Application on my Mac is so simple, versatile and useful to access anything on my Mac. Everything is just a couple of keystrokes away.
For Firefox it was surprisingly simple answer as well. My most important Plugin would be Locale Switcher. A simple click followed by a restart of Firefox and I can be working in any language I have and xpi file install for that language. Shame on the developers for think we all only use English.
How about you? If you could only install one, what App. or Program would it be? What Firefox Plugin would it be? ]]>

Boot Camp beta and OS X 10.4.
Maybe you have been waiting for a few update to Leopard before you make the change or maybe you see no need since Tiger meets all your needs. Possible you are like me and have several machines that need to be upgraded and are in no hurry to do them all.
Regardless the reason, you have until the end of December to make a decision if you use Boot Camp beta. At the end of December the beta will time out and you will be out of luck.
Don't say you haven't been warned...]]>
