Ask TUAW: Mailboxes on MobileMac, Mac FireWire HD-DVR, Photo Booth on an external drive and more (TUAW.com)

Sep 16th 2008 4:59PM @Jon Eric and Ask TUAW,

You guys both rock. Thank you!

Quick follow up:

A rule to copy a message and then "mark as read" does that on the copied message AND the one in the inbox. Is there any way to have the inbox one remain "unread" but the copied version marked as "read"?

(I tried "Edit the header list" in the rule conditions to include a "Mailbox" distinction but it didn't take.)

Much gratitude —

Sep 8th 2008 5:42PM Any idea how to have MobileMe keep a copy of every sent and received email in an archive folder on the server?

Even better — and this may be asking too much — is there a way to upload back to the server all of the messages I've saved On My Mac?

(That is, besides copying the folder of mailboxes as a whole back to my iDisk, which wouldn't allow me to access them on my iPhone in the way I need to.)

For years I've been moving messages from Mail.app's inbox to folders On My Mac. But recently I needed to access a message on my iPhone that had been already filed. And it seems ridiculous to underutilize MobileMe's 10 gigs of storage when my ~/Library/Mail and ~/Library/Mail Downloads folder are only around 2 gigs each.

I know I can keep copies of sent messages on the server, and even bcc myself. Is leaving all my received messages in the inbox the only way to keep them on the server? I don't know about you, but that would really screw up my workflow.

I'd love the MacBook BookEndz Docking Station like it was already a member of my own family.
Thanks for considering me, and keep up the great work.

Mac 101: Boot options (TUAW.com)

Jan 11th 2008 5:49PM How about Mac 101 articles on FTP and BitTorrent? Or would those be Mac 201? Thanks in advance.

Midday Monday downtime for Apple Store? (TUAW.com)

Dec 18th 2007 12:05AM With .Mac down, I didn't get my emails. Worse, no emails came in when the service came back up — so I have no idea if I missed any that were sent during those hours. bottom line, this sucks and there's nothing to be done about it.

Aug 23rd 2007 2:40PM Dear TUAW,
Is it safe to use a MacBook Pro's 85W magsafe connector with my MacBooK? A co-worker leaves an extra at the office, and I'd love to leave mine at home when she's on vacation.
Thanks!

Trick your iPhone voicemail into using voice recording data (TUAW.com)

Aug 9th 2007 9:56AM Or, you could simply call your own phone number and leave yourself a message. Why bother with the hack?

Ask TUAW: Call for Questions (TUAW.com)

Jan 24th 2007 11:37AM I'll second the questions of #2 and #15 above.

2. I'd like to know something about the bar at the top (what do you call that, anyways?) The application name, which is in bold, next to the apple button can apparently be changed to the application icon (16 x 16 px). I've seen this in a few screenshots. I don't know if this is a setting or not, but how can I also do this?

15. In column view in the finder, is there a way to sort files by type or date etc. as in list view?

Thanks!
