1a.: Reinstalling Mail

Posted by: "robfrankeldotcom" rob@robfrankel.com robfrankeldotcom

Greetings all:

So here's the deal. I suspect that my MBP running 10.6.8 has a problem with Mail. I'd like to re-install just Mail, nothing else.

Question:

What are the steps to doing this intelligently? And by that, I mean NOT re-installing the entire System.

1. Is there a way to cleanly remove Mail and its components?
2. Is there a way to install Mail cleanly?

Appreciate any tips and pointers.

Thanks,

Rob Frankel

Try this:
1. Download Pacifist (<http://www.charlessoft.com/>)
2. Locate your Snow Leopard disk -- whether one purchased for an upgrade from Leopard or packaged with the machine as a restore disk.
3. While booted as usual from your hard drive, insert the SL disk.
4. Open Pacifist, and navigate to the relevant installer .pkg file
5. Within Pacifist, you should be able to navigate the "tree" and find the "branch" with Mail
6. Unpack just Mail

You should be able to delete Mail from ./Applications, although you *will* need an administrator password to do so.

I'm not sure what to tell you about removing stuff in ~/Library/Mail

As usual, Randy, you have a broader survey of what's available and reliable than I.

When thinking about getting an SSD, it always comes down to speed for me. Which means I'm not looking much at SATA-2 (3 Gbps max) packages, but at SATA-3 (6 Gbps) ones.

I would really like an OWC "6G" SSD in a Thunderbolt external case (which I would also want to have a Firewire 800 port). I could use it now with FW, and later with TB.

Collin,

Just double checked on Corsair 120gb SSDs on Amazon and the least expensive I see now is $189! I wonder what happened?

This from the Topaz Labs Knowledge Base:

"I can't find Topaz plug-ins in the Photoshop Filters menu."

Try this:
For both Windows and Mac, download and run the appropriate installers.
If you still can't see the filter after you quit and restart Photoshop,
try the following:

For Mac :
Go to HD -> Library -> Application Support -> Topaz Labs -> Adjust ->
Plugins
Copy and paste the Topaz_adjust.plugin file to your Photoshop Plug-Ins
folder. This is usually located in Applications -> Adobe Photoshop CS3
-> Plug-Ins. Delete the TopazAdjust shortcut already in that folder, if
there is one. Restart Photoshop and you'll see it in the Filters menu.

For Windows:
Go to C:\Programs Files -> Topaz Labs -> Topaz Adjust -> Plugins and
copy and paste the tladjust.8bf file into your Photoshop Plug-Ins
folder. This is usually located in C:\Program Files -> Adobe -> Adobe
Photoshop CS3 -> Plug-Ins. Delete the TopazAdjust shortcut already in
that folder, if there is one. Restart Photoshop and you'll see it in the
Filters menu.

The example given is with Topaz Adjust. If it's a problem with Topaz
Simplify or Topaz DeNoise, just replace "Adjust" with the appropriate
product name.
