Oh yes. I forgot iPhone is the only device which lets you use IMAP. I also forgot that iPhone doesn't have the POP3 option either.

IMAP is a much better option that POP3, simply because it let's you set up multiple devices to access your emails and the changes are reflected simultaneously.

i finally got my new iMac this monday, the replacement ie. n so far so good, no probs have come so far. Set the net up, n installed all updates.

one query i wantd to ask every1 here, regarding the webclip feature of safari. I tried creating many today, but theres no save feature i blive. we just get to edit it n click done. but when i restarted it, the clip was gone! So is the clip feature only for viewing live portions of pages only for the time being when ur working. (if der IS a save feature, then hw 2 save em??) hope it aint a problematic mac again

Weird. Just have to click the dashclip icon in Safari, mark out the area, click Add, and it pops em into the dashboard. That's it. Web clips stay there as regular widgets.

Yeah, POP3 is useful for the rest of us who do not have an iPhone & still are able to access mails in my K750i

How can you read messages and such on that phone! My friend has it. I can't even read SMS properly on such a tiny screen. Besides, that joystick knocks out after two months of intense use...

Anyway, I don't think I can ever go back to POP3. You have to make sure one of the mailboxes leaves the messages on the server, while the other one downloads the messages. Just yuck. Push IMAP ftw!!!

For web based mail services like GMail, I agree that IMAP is better. But when it comes to those web site wala emails then POP3 is mostly used. In my company it's POP3 for all, dad wants to get the iPhone for this, makes my life troublesome. I will have to set the POP account to forward mails to GMail.

What “website wala emails”?

Oh yes. I forgot iPhone is the only device which lets you use IMAP.

Wow! Are you sure? I find it difficult to believe that Apple wouldn’t make a big deal out of it if it was so exclusive.

I also forgot that iPhone doesn't have the POP3 option either.

It does, man.

 

[goobimama]

Wait a minute there. Who said you can't have a POP3 account setup on an iPhone?

 

[iMav]

What “website wala emails”?

The non-web based POP mails. Don't know what they are called technically, but, they don't have a web client like GMail/Hotmail. Need to be downloaded via a mail client (Outlook) to be read.

@Goobi & Arya: There was someone other than Preshit (iPhone owner too) who said that they don't, so when Preshit said, I thought it didn't

 

[preshit.net]

It does, man.

I know it does. I was being sarcastic there.

You simply say POP3 sucks, and that dude _had_ to bring iPhone in the picture, when there was no reference made to it.

 

[aryayush]

Oh, it makes sense now that you know it’s sarcasm. I was wondering what the rolling eyes smiley was doing there. Heh heh.

@iMav,
If it’s the person in question’s own website, he can always use Google Apps in conjugation with it. I’ve only recently discovered it and I must say that it’s probably the most awesome web based service I’ve ever come across. Google simply rocks! I have no idea how they manage to make stuff like Google Apps free. If it was Apple, they would’ve been charging $149/year or something (of course, the service would’ve been more classy then with a few innovative features).

 

[iMav]

I have been asking them to shift full time to google apps for almost a year now, but my uncle does not wish to.

^^ Hows about sporting one of those cool apple badges that all the macboys have. Brings you into the so called 'elite macboy' group (Only visible on Safari or if you really want it to on other browsers)

What ideas man You will fall to any depths to make people promote Apples

 

[gauravsuneja]

hi to all
in tiger times we used to them mac osx using shapeshifter .but in leopard shape shifter doesn't work .is it the problem b'cos we r running hacintosh or it is teh problem with ppc leopadr too?
what to do? how to theme leopard?

thanks in advance

 

[aryayush]

You are running it on a PC and you don’t even like it’s looks. Dude, why not just use Windows instead then? It’s got all the drivers and stuff and theming is actually encouraged by Microsoft (hence the crappy defaults).

Anyway, ShapeShifter does work on Leopard on Intel based Macs, but it doesn’t on stupid hackint0shes.

 

[cooldudie3]

I don't understand what is an Hackintosh. Are Hackintoshes Macs on a PC

Can someone teach me how to paste photos on the typing box of the forum?
I always get things like Blablabla[IMG]

@Aayush
You're right, if I turn th Caps Lock on and type into a password box, there will be a gray icon with an up arrow! Thanks for the tip!

There are so many websites that put things like 10 reasons not to buy an iphone. I wonder why so many people hate the iphone

 

[goobimama]

The syntax is

to close the tag. Best is to use that insert image icon in the format bar of this quick reply box.

Hackintosh is installing OS X on a PC.

 

[cooldudie3]

Ok, thanks!

There are so many websites that teach you how to create a Hackint0sh
Is it illegal or is it impossible. It seems really real(but I don't wanna try)
Is this considered a Hackingt0sh(not mine!)

Please note that this picture is not mine, I hate Dell and I don't own a mac

 

[iMav]

Hackint0sh is real. Take my word for it. But, it is illegal. Considering that CPU next to the monitor is powering the monitor & not a Mac Mini, then, yes, it is a Hackint0sh.

 

[goobimama]

Yep. That's a hackintosh alright. The installation not the easiest (although not very difficult as well from what I hear) and you don't get the peace of mind of using a proper Mac. There's driver issues, software issues and all kinds of things that crop up. Better to use Windows in that case.

 

[cooldudie3]

ok thanks
I get idea and I have no interest of trying

Does the Mac Mini have a HDMI output or a S video output? I want to buy it and then connect to my HDTV. Also does the Mac mini come with a wireless keyboard and mouse? Or do I have do pay another part of the money?

Hey, guys, press stumbleupon at the bottom of the page and write a review about this lovely thread and reccomend it to others!

 

[goobimama]

Mac Mini has a DVI output if I'm not mistaken which can easily be converted to HDMI. Also has VGA and S-Video. And yes, you have to buy the Wireless keyboard+Mouse separately.

Gotta say the Firefox address bar search thing is really neat. There have been countless times that I remember just part of a domain or maybe just the page title but didn't manage to find it. The address bar of Firefox does some kind of search, so if you type in digit, it will throw up thinkdigit and all that in the results... pretty neat.

Also got a Most visited bookmark folder. Something like the Start menu of Windows? I'm not sure.

It's there in Opera 9.5 too. I love it

 

[cooldudie3]

Firefox is much more better, because there are still a lot more pages able to be shown in Firefox. Gmail for example, only shows the old version, without the AIM chat thing. There are also no labels. Which is why I don't enjoy using Opera very much.
