Here, the evil spammers must also read every piece of spam ever sent for eternity. But then there’s the ecoysystem and the evil spammers.Īs a systems administrator of a large number of mail servers, I firmly believe that there is a special kind of hell where only spam is served at every meal for spammers. In OS X Server 5 for El Capitan and Yosemite, all of these are represented by a single ON button, so it really couldn’t be easier. Actually, mail is pretty simple in and of itself: there’s protocols people use to access their mail (such as IMAP and POP), protocols used to communicate between mail servers and send mail (SMTP, SMTPS) and then there’s a database of mail and user information. ist with your fave editor, and have at it.Mail is one of the hardest services to manage. They are actually indented and begin with the following in the. That's only a partial list, but if you have any such settings it may be better to lonly delete the appletalk preferences. The list of recent folders, appearing in the Apple Menu.įavorites for colors, including styles and colors you've saved in the grid at the bottom of the Colors dialog.
For example, I have this set to 128 (points) because I'm basically DISABLING font smoothing. Scrollbar Arrows - two arrows at top of scroll bar? One arrow at top/bottom? etc.įont size at which Smoothing gets applied. Mouse and Trackpad "Scaling" - sensitivity / speed. Here's an (incomplete) list of what the GlobalPreferences holds, and you may or may not be effected by these. The GlobalPreferences have a lot of random stuff in there, so it's important to know what this is. HOWEVER, there are some SERIOUS caveats here that may have "severe" consequences. I fear either a corrupt file or an invisible file is the culprit.thoughts?Ī simple solution to a complex problem. I've reinstalled OS X on the PM.I've created a new "dummy" account to see what was up. But my PM's user folder, and a couple of the other drives DON'T MOUNT and when I double click on the PM's shortcut again, the Volumes list shows THOSE volumes as greyed out. I click on some and they mount on my PowerBook. Via the Network Pane, I get to the password, and the volumes list pops up. My PowerMac all of the sudden, doesn't want to allow my PB to access SOME of the volumes, INCLUDING my user folder. And part of that "highway" has broken down: I sit and swivel between the two while working and am often grabbing files from one and copying them to the other.
Hey there.SIMILAR problem.I have a PowerMac hardwired to my wireless router and a PowerBook connecting to it via AirPort Express. After lots of preference-juggling, I stumbled across this invisible file that made the difference.
The same server worked fine from other accounts on the system. Result: I couldn't log into that server at all from the Finder, whether it be via AppleTalk or SMB. In my case, it didn't, and it saved those prefs. Normally, if this doesn't work, the Finder will tell you. Im my case, I turned off 'Clear text passwords' and enabled SSH. When the login window popped up, I clicked on the Options button and entered some (apparently) bad settings and saved.
ist by typing the following in the terminal: rm ~/Library/Preferences/.istBack story: When connecting to my local file server, I entered the IP address in the Connect to. If you have problems connecting to a server using the "Connect to." dialog box in the Finder (with the server known to be functional, and working from other accounts on the same machine), try deleting the invisible file ~/Library -> Preferences ->.
