Good morning all, My mail rules are misbehaving terribly! ? I keep all my mail in folders, each one with a ¡°rule¡± to direct all email to that folder. For instance: ?macsupportcentral has it¡¯s own folder, and a rule set up so that if [macsupportcentral] is in the subject line, the mail would instantly go to that folder.
So this morning I got a pop up warning that the macsupportcentral folder didn¡¯t exist, and it couldn¡¯t move the mail to a non-existant folder. ?The pop-up persisted and would not let me do anything other than force quit mail.
I ended up going to mail on my iPhone and deleting the messages from macsupportcentral, and then opening mail on my Mac.
I went into ¡°rules¡± to see what was wrong, and the folder for macsupportcentral was unchecked. ?I checked it - the same thing happened the next time mail came in.
I have about 30 mail rules, and the rest of them work fine, it¡¯s just the mail coming from the 3 ?I belong to that are causing the problem, so I deleted those rules, quit mail, reopened mail and the same thing happened.
Again, deleted the mail on my phone so I could get into Mail on my Mac. Opened Rules and the rules that I delete were back, and were unchecked again. I deleted the rules, closed Mail and re-opened it - same thing - over and over again.
I got mad at this point and decided to delete ALL of my mail rules, thinking there was a glitch somewhere. ?One by one I removed them. Closed Mail, re-opened Mail and checked - all the rules were there again, but they were all unchecked.
I can¡¯t delete them!!!
Please, someone help me get his straightened out. ?Is there a place on my Mac that stores the mail rules outside of Mail, where perhaps I can permanently delete the rules and start over from scratch?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Janet

Re: Transfer files from Cheese Grater Mac Pro 3.5" internal SATA drives to Windows macine
Just get an external case with USB3. You can use it for backups after this.
Put a Mac Pro drive in the external case and connect to your Mac.
On your Mac, System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing. Make sure the SMB option is enabled.?
A Windows machine on your network can now access the contents of the external.
Repeat with the other drive(s).?
You can do this over the internet using port forwarding if required but it will be much slower, of course.

FreeOffice (free) FreeOffice has a similar, but nicer interface than MS Word (I only use the word processing portion of it myself), and in my testing it has shockingly good compatibility with Word format files (both rendering and saving; much better than LibreOffice's compatibility), and it's absolutely free. it's 64-bit and runs under Catalina. There is a commercial version with a few more features, but the free version is all that many folks will ever need. Since it's free, it's worth checking out. A few days after downloading and registering the free version, the company will e-mail you an offer for the commercial version, called SoftMaker Office, for only $20. Which is entirely worth it if you like the free version, if for no other reason than to support the company. Comparison chart of the features and costs of each version of this Office product from Softmaker: <> Note that the business version is really only for big businesses with networks. Also note that there are BOTH stand-alone and subscription options, your choice. The $20 offer, noted above, does not require a subscription. ___________________________________________ Randy B.

Re: Transfer files from Cheese Grater Mac Pro 3.5" internal SATA drives to Windows macine
Howdy. There are several ways to connect a Macintosh formatted HFS+ drive to a Windows box and move files back and forth. Check out Paragon HFS+ $20, and does both write and read. There are other options. Search for Macintosh HFS+ driver for Windows.

So apparently the ability to see others in the directory, is a two way street. Funny, but I'm ok with it. Especially the only thing I see it does is allow you to send an email to an individual, and not the group. I can do that by getting their email from a posting.

No difference. A loop is a repeat or return in both UK and?US English.
A loupe (French word) is small magnifier?used by jewellers and photographers.
They are homophones. I guessed what she meant from that.?
Otto Ah, the difference between American and British. But Karen did not make it clear until the end. As I read it, I was thinking she meant some sort of repeat function, not magnification.

I belong to 4 Apple related groups at io. On two, the owners apparently decided not to offer Directory as an option. They have 418 and 227 members. Two have chosen the option of a Directory, and they have 141 and 282 members.?
Only you are pushing for everyone to change their settings, and only 18 of 282 members of this list have chosen to share. I have no idea how many have or have not opted in on the other group, but I bet it is low, since no one has brought it up. The platform owner by default, decided that individuals have to opt in. And so far, I see not advantage to opting in.?
One disadvantage is I think, why make it one iota easier for a spammer? And once capture by a spammer, there is no way to retract it.
I think you are out voted.

The new way is much harder. If I just want to position the cursor but I¡¯m not editing so I have no keyboard it is a real pain.

Otto Has anybody else noticed that in the latest download for iPad (IOS 13.2), there is no text loop available when trying to edit text? There are a lot of changes in this particular software update, and it's going to take me some time to get used to them, but the text edit one seems like a downgrade to me. It's impossible to see where the cursor is when my finger is in front of it without that magnifying loop.
Does anyone know if there's a way to get the loop back or some kind of workaround?
