If you find the Mail.app classic view better than the new one, you can go back to the classic view using mail preferences.
From the preference, select the “Viewing” tab and tick the “Use the Classic Layout”.

There you go..

Follow these steps in order to change your fonts’ size in the Finder or Mail sidebar:

1. Launch System Preferences by clicking the System Preferences icon in the Dock, selecting the System Preferences item from the Apple menu, or opening Launchpad and selecting the System Preferences icon.
2. Select the General preference pane from the System Preferences window.
3. Use the drop-down menu next to the “Sidebar icon size” item to set the size to Small, Medium, or Large. This drop-down menu controls the icon and font size for both the sidebar in Mail and the sidebar in a Finder window. The default size is Medium.

When you’ve made your selection, just close System Preferences.

Today’s quick tip is related to IBM Lotus Notes. I’m going to explain you how to start Lotus Notes Mac in Basic mode.
As you probably already know, this mode is much faster than Standard because it doesn’t load the Eclipse Framework.

Close Lotus Notes and open the equivalent to the famous notes.ini file on you Mac, it is located under: ~/Library/Preferences/Notes Preferences
You have to open it using text edit or any other text editor.

Add the following entry: UseBasicNotes=1 just like I did below:

Restart Lotus Notes, it will start in Basic mode.
If you’d like to revert to Standard, all you have to do is to delete the line we’ve just added.

The trick for PC here.

On monday january 13 of 2009, Microsoft decided to make free transfers of your emails (hotmail.com or live.com) to any email application or iPhone.

Just got this problem with Apple’s Mail, with the following message error:

Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions while online.

Additional information: The IMAP command “APPEND (to Send Messages) failed with server error: Mailbox does not exist

To fix this issue, I used Onyx, and activated the “show hidden files”, then went to my Home folder > Library > Mail > IMAP-myemailaddress > .OfflineCache. And erased the content of that folder!

Problem fixed.
