I have both TB with POP3 and macOS “Mail” with IMAP, as preferred by the email provider, AOL, in my Mac.

I don’t know about the rest of what PaulK mentions in his comment, but what I can tell you is that new messages show up in both mail boxes, but if one sets the POP3 in TB to “keep mail in server for x days”, the AOL IMAP mails disappear on day x+1. The ones in TB remain there.

WCHS: Have you tried, before trying to write the very first email after that, first tapped on one of the Address Books you get to choose from and chosen that one?

I would suggest trying that out now, even if you have already sent that very first TB email.

(I’d thought TB gave you the choice, when setting it up, to import your addresses to an existing  Address Book in Windows, in your case, macOS in mine, so you did not have to create a cvs. file for that)

If this last suggestion and commentary does no work for you, then this will put me right past the very end of my TB wisdom on this matter.

RebusCom: “This sounds like a reboot of the tenuous nature of the original B5.”

It’s got to be like that, after all this series premiered in the very last years of the Nineties, close to a quarter century ago. And not only that, but too many of the main and middle-range characters have left our Valley of Tears in this interim. They still have Claudia Christian (Ivanova) and  Peter Jurasik (Londo Mollari) and I think that is probably about it. And they are a bit different looking now than they were then.

The CW being sold is a concern because of the Babylon 5’s reboot, indeed, but also at so many other levels!

This still leaves out at least one other user I failed to contact in the same way. And who knows how many more are so affect and afflicted; and whether the rot in PM is spreading and will continue to spread. Until one day, maybe sooner than later, this will get all of us to vanish quietly from PM.

So I hope Susan figures this out soon, so it can be fixed before the PM Götterdammerung happens.

JohnW: I have Mail, the native client in my Mac. Maybe it works the same way? Interesting. Something to look into.

Thanks.

P.S,: Just to be sure that I understood you:

Do you mean importing, somehow, the email files in, let’s say, “Saved” in TB to the “Saved” box in, in this case “Mail”, while this one is kept offline? How do you do this in Windows?

I hope it can be done in the Mac’s “Mail” in the same way as you can do it in “Windows Live Mail.”

Charley: I just sent you three PM messages, The first sent of the three explains that there is a weird problem with your handle that you need to have sorted out ASAP by getting in touch with, I guess, SB.

Outlook is an email client that covers what is needed in most business, except perhaps those with very few employees, or owned and a run by one person, or just a family. It might not be perfect, but it is usable. It does the job.

Thunderbird is glitchy and as Kathy Stevens correctly observes, can be difficult to setup and maintain.

Unless one’s email needs are few and unchanging. As in my case.

So I use TB at home and Outlook at work.

alejt, “As I pointed out, the metadata for emails is contained within each individual message and that’s true for all operating systems.”

And you have told me how to navigate to find information in Windows 10, when  it is glaringly clear in every one of my messages signature panel that I have a Mac.

Once more I am asking you not to help me. Because you, I am sorry to say, are not helping.

An impressive and unusual performance and an even more unusual story of a series of tree Concerti and one “Concerto/Sinfonia” by Antonio Vivaldi, with interpolated (?) singing parts and all beautifully done by “La Serenisima” Italian Baroque ensemble from Manchester UK.

The singer, soprano Mhairi Lawson, deserves special mention for her excellent and appropriately dramatic interpretations.

(“La Serenissima” = “The Most Serene”, Venice’s traditional epithet.)

This video has received 1,681,281 views and no thumbs down in 10 years, so it might not be all that bad.

Antonio Vivaldi (Composer), Adrian Chandler (Conductor, Performer), Mhairi Lawson (Soprano), Sarah McMahon (Performer), Gareth Deats (Performer), La Serenissima (Orchestra)

And about Manchester’s “La Serenissima”, Vivaldi’s long lost works, their rediscovery in the 1970’s and the “La Serenissima” ensemble leader Adrian Chandler role in all this:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/feb/21/la-serenissima-review-vivaldi-manchester

Excerpt:

“La Serenissima review – priceless Vivaldi scores like you’ve never heard them”

“It might come as a surprise to learn that the third largest collection of Vivaldi manuscripts belongs to Manchester. How these priceless scores came to reside in the city’s Henry Watson Music Library is a fascinatingly convoluted tale involving the acquisition by Charles Jennens, the librettist of Handel’s Messiah, of manuscripts purchased – by weight – from a bankrupted Italian cardinal.

It wasn’t until the 1970s that this stack was discovered, by Michael Talbot, to contain 12 previously unknown violin sonatas and the only fair copy of The Four Seasons bearing the evidence of supervision in Vivaldi’s own hand. Appropriately, it was the Manchester Four Seasons [version] that Adrian Chandler’s ensemble La Serenissima elected to play with the part-books proudly on display in the foyer.”

DrBonzo: Your recipe, isn’t it a good one for starting an endless loop?

Remove TS HDD unwilling to go when told; restart computer, plug in TS HDD to see if everything is OK in there; TS HDD does not want to go, …

I’m asking because this topic interest me as well.

WCHS: This might be somewhat different between different versions of TB, and also whether they are meant for Windows or macOS. But let’s give it a go:

(1) Do you see in the top bar, or second one from the top, in the TB window a book-like icon labelled “Address Book”?

No?

Then right click on that bar and choose from the drop down menu that appears “Restore Defaults”, then click a button that says”Done” (or words to that effect) that closes the menu, and the “Address Book” icon should appear on the bar. {[( If you are really lucky.)]}

The icon appeared. So now left-click on “Address Book.” That will open a window where you’ll see some similar icons, each named after one of the different address books you have available in TB.

Click on one of these icons and see if there is anything in its address book. If it is empty, click on the next. And so on, until you: either find one book with addresses already in it that are from your previous correspondences, so those addresses will come up automatically in the email-to-be address field, when you start typing the address, or several possible ones will appear in a drop down list for you to choose. Do so and the one you choose will appear in the address bar: Success!!

If  the “Address Book” icon does not show up on the upper bar, when it should have, or all the address books are empty, and you have already been sending emails …

That will be weird but, hey! This is TB. Welcome to weird!

And here we have reached the end of my TB science.

Good luck trying the above, or best of  luck finding a better TB guru.

The kernels and libraries of routines, etc. of macOS and Windows are different, so I suspect that an application designed to work with one in mind would not do really well with the other. Or work at all with the other. The format of binaries are different enough to be incompatible, so Windows .exe files do not run on Macs.

(And by the way: instructions on how to use the GUI of Windows to do something on a Win PC are not all that helpful when the computer where the something would be done is a Mac.)

But, coming back to Susan’s suggestion of maybe using something made under Windows on a Mac:

I could, I suppose, use Boot Camp to run Windows in the Mac. So I guess that might be an idea worth thinking about. But only if the end product obtained with some Windows software (“app”), for example a file with a metadata table, also can be used with software — or not be incompatible in some way with it — developed for macOS.

Still, it looks like this idea is worth keeping in mind for further research.

So: Thanks Susan.
