    Problem using Mail with multiple accounts from the same ISP

    Glad it's sorted, although I always find it frustrating not knowing what caused the problem. I wouldn't discount the possibility of an ntl mail problem - they do manifest themselves in strange ways. (BTW, are we the only two people in these forums with ntl accounts?) Before the thread gets...

    Problem using Mail with multiple accounts from the same ISP

    ... which is exactly why I chose 'Lyra' (I thought adding Silvertongue or Belaqa would be too much of a giveaway, although I've done it on other boards). Wonderful, intelligent, thought-provoking books - Harry Potter, feh! I'm stumped as to why you can't get your mail with Mail, if one...

    Problem using Mail with multiple accounts from the same ISP

    Mr Tea - I also switched some time ago from Entourage to Mail, and I use ntl too. I have two ntl email accounts and my .mac email that I collect from and send to without problems (that is, without problems from Mail, but let's not go there). All it took was setting up an account for each...

    Why should I manage fonts?

    From a non-technical viewpoint, I'd say that whether you manage your fonts or nor depends on what you use your computer for. I'm a typesetter - if I'm setting a book in Times New (which I usually am) I don't want to have to wade through even dozens of fonts, let alone hundreds, if I need to use...

    Printing a booklet in InDesign

    Your link is to a blank page and a 6 MB plus download - probably not the best way to get people to help, especially those with dial-up connections. You could also check out the InDesign forum (start at http://www.adobeforums.com/) - you might find an answer just with a search, otherwise you...

    Criticize THIS ! (website for my English teacher)

    'These were the good news' - 'This was the good news': 'news' is singular. '... you gonna' should be 'you're gonna'. Typo under 'a witty thing to do' - 'acces' should be 'access'. Later '... administration placing' should be '... place'. 'All the such': you're probably thinking of 'and...

    Uplink for Macintosh

    Oh excellent - I thought I must be the only one but at least there's two of us. I did finally finish the test mission, but it took me about five tries. I don't find the interface exactly intuitive.

    LaserJet 2100TN problem ;(

    I have a 2100N connected via a crossover ethernet cable. I had to get an adapter (Farallon iPrint) to have something to plug the other end into, though, which I didn't realise until I'd searched high and low on the printer to find out where to plug the crossover cable in, having been told it was...

    Wiping out all traces

    I'm an idiot - of course it does. Thanks. I've never had to sell one on before, so I've never had to worry about personal data.

    Wiping out all traces

    I gave my previous G4 to my daughter (well, I sold it to her, but she still owes me for it) at the end of last year. Now she's leaving the UK to live in France (some people will do anything to avoid paying their debts) and wants to sell it. Because it was staying in the family, I didn't...

    Software Update doesn't work correctly ...

    Same here as far as SU is concerned and I haven't moved anything - I assumed it was because all the cool music stuff is for the US market and the rest of us aren't allowed to play. (I could understand it if it was just France, but I'm British, dammit and I want it NOW.) You can always just go...

    Persistently stuck on EV Nova...

    The EVN board itself is at http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/ - when you go to the boards it's best to do a search on your question first - people can get bad-tempered otherwise! I lost hours of my life to Escape Velocity - I loved it. I loved Override, too. I'm not quite so in love with...

    Persistently stuck on EV Nova...

    Have you checked out the EVN boards at Ambrosia? I've never had the problem you're having, so I can't help, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't find the answer there. The first incarnation of EVN was pretty buggy, and I spent almost as many hours on the boards as I did playing the game. You do...

    'Out' mailbox in Mail

    Thanks, Eric - I hadn't thought of going offline, but on the other hand I do like to keep my incoming mail coming in frequently. I'd still like the option to queue mail until I want to send it though: I find it too easy to fire something off in a hurry and then either have to follow it up...

    'Out' mailbox in Mail

    I switched from Entourage to Mail some months ago, and despite still having some misgivings, now use Mail exclusively - performance has certainly improved, I think, with OS10.2.5. The thing that really bugs me, though, is that I can't find any way to make use of the 'Out' mailbox to queue...

    Adobe Acrobat Distiller 6

    Lazzo, I have the same problem with the site, using Safari and IE, and when I first tried it I was using Mozilla. After a couple of post displays, nothing.

    What's YOUR age?

    I wish I hadn't strayed into this thread - I feel very, very old. Not (quite) 90-100, but coming up to UK pension age.:eek: Am I the only old crone, or are the others too embarrassed to own up (I include old geezers in that)? Been using Macs since 1985 - anyone remember the 'tour' that taught...

    Send MOO3 to me in Singapore

    Sirtovin - not your fault - you did warn me, I was just too bored with my current games not to give it a try! Frozen Throne??

    Send MOO3 to me in Singapore

    llyrwy I have a copy I can sell you if you can't get it anywhere else. I've been playing it a few days, despite advice against from sirtovin on another thread, and it's not really my kind of game. Obviously, I've got all the packaging and stuff, so I can send it all on to you. I got it...
