[QUOTE="hoody, post: 1637048, member: 290804"] Well, what a bloody mistake that was ! Not chas_m's advice, but letting the idiot at bigpond take charge of my computer. First of all, we have no choice but the national carrier where we live, so I called and asked to speak to someone about mail problems with a mac. They have a separate mob for this. After being re directed to the wrong people five, yes five times, and hung up on, I finally got to speak to someone after an hour and forty minutes. She took over my computer, first the iMac and then the macbook air, and changed me from pop to imap and told me that would fix it. Well it certainly [I]fixed[/I] it... I could think of something else beginning a capital F. Anyway, enough ranting. I now find myself with hundreds of emails and two lots of folders down the left side of the screen, where I used to have only one row. I have the original folders where I saved things that I want and I now also have a second row beneath which has a lot of my original folders and some missing. The original folders are 'On My Mac'. The second row are called by my email address. Above these are 'smart mailboxes' which until now I haven't used. There's also a load of emails that I don't want in a folder called 'vip's' and I can't delete any emails from there... well actually, I can delete them, but they come straight back again. I went to time machine and tried to revert to a couple of days ago, but when I clicked on restore, nothing happened. I did have the disc plugged in to the macbook and I had the power lead in too. Sorry to carry on but I'm so bloody confused that my brain hurts. If I get no joy here I'll get back on to Bigpond / Telstra tomorrow. I can't do it tonight as I've been on so long today that both cordless phone batteries are flat ! [/QUOTE]
