> I've discovered in the past few days that Mail displays "Sent" messages on my iPad listed by the "From" field (in other words, me). I cannot find a way to change this in iOS. Am I missing something (obviously, I'd prefer they be sorted based on the "To" field and listed by date sent.
> Jim Robertson

Sent mail on my iPad is sorted by date, and always has been.

Sorry, I wasn't complete enough in my description. My messages are ordered by date, but instead of stating to whom they were sent, they provide me the INCREDIBLY USELESS information that I sent them. In Mac Mail, they're ordered by date, but the summary list shows them by date/time sent and lists the subject and the email address they're sent to. I'd like to recreate that display on the iPad.

I've never seen that; mine always displays the target addressee.

Same here - although I am the target addressee in a number of cases because I send myself email notes.

So, all we need to do is figure out how to make mine look like yours!

I've done some additional investigating. I think now this isn't an iOS problem, it's an IMAP problem. Why?

I have 4 email account on my iPad. One is IMAP with my ISP, one connects to my office's Exchange Server, one is an "Exchange IMAP" account with a health care enterprise, one is my iCloud IMAP account.
Only the IMAP account with my ISP (where most of my mail comes and goes) has the problem that's vexing me ("Sent" messages listing the name of the sender at the left of the screen rather than the target recipient). All the other accounts show the recipient's name and/or email address on the first line.
If I look at the folder lists under each email account, the ISP IMAP account list is different from all the others; instead of showing a list consisting of custom icons named Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Archive, and Junk, ALL of the folders are listed as subfolders WITHIN the inbox, and none of them except "Inbox" have the custom icons.
Curiously, in Mountain Lion Mail.app (5.2) on my Mac, the folder hierarchy among accounts is different. Under "Inbox", all of my accounts "Inbox" folders are listed with custom icons; same for "Drafts", "Sent", and "Trash".

I had a devil of a time getting my ISP inbox configured when I changed it from a POP to an IMAP account, with a third level Applecare support engineer and I screensharing my Mac for well over an hour while we looked at my mail in Mail.app as well as in my ISP's somewhat rudimentary webmail interface. Something tells me that there's some subtle change I should make to my IMAP folder hierarchy that could fix this.

Anyone have ideas?

Thanks so much,

Thanks for the replies.

Regarding grounded outlets, there is no guarantee that a three pronged outlet is grounded. the electrical connection has to be made from the ground to the outlet otherwise it is not grounded. I have seen many outlets that appear to be grounded but are not. Always best to check your grounds.

Howdy.

Remove the outlet in question from the wall box and see if it has a
connected ground wire. The ground wire in some locals might be colored
green but usually it is the bare wire connected to the middle screw of
a duplex socket.

I have had an electrician install several 20 amp isolated ground
outlets for my computer equipment with the orange colored hospital
grade duplex sockets. With a lot of equipment the 20 amp circuit does
a better job than the standard 15 amp circuit.

Any decent hardware store will sell you a little device that plugs into a 3-conductor outlet and tells you if there are any defects -- shorting, dead wire, absent ground, mis/cross-wired. For under $5.

That's definitely on my to-do list.
I'd be more likely to plug in a tester than to open the outlet. Too much is written in Thai and I never really learned electrical as I should and when I've opened boxes here and in the US I always come across red, black, white wires and then "hey what's this green wire hanging by itself?"
I'll test and let the condo peeps do the rest. :)

Any opinions on this Utility I mentioned or have a preference for a better one?

Hi, Bobby --

With 85W, 60W, and 45W magsafe chargers out there, are you sure that the
one she "charged" with was actually of sufficient wattage to do the job?
One of a lesser wattage that that required by the MBP will supply power
to run the laptop, but not enough power to charge the battery.

Just an idea.

Dear All,

Anyone have any idea of where/what is the meaning of the appearance of red stripes at the corners of the desktop? they appear in a pattern resembling a dense comb and also an achromatic lens. When opening a folder - the previously black areas are now also dense red vertical lines  |||||||||||||||

Thanks and best,

Henry

I don't know about your case but my iMac once had a vertical yellow stripe and Apple gave me a new iMac.
