Double-click in the Mail no longer works

I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac mid-2011 and have mail version 4.6. Everything has been working for all these years, but a few days ago I lost the ability to view messages in a window by double clicking.

I've seen some old discussions on this topic, but it seemed complicated and a bit scary (repairing permissions, etc.) so I prefer to ask here if there is a simpler answer...

Thanks in advance

If you go to the window/Mail, you have more than one window open? If so, try closing all but one.

  • Shortcut keyboard 'Mark as unread' in the Mail no longer works and performs a completely different action instead.

    Hi guys,.

    I get a lot of spam and incongruous emails, most of which don't deserve to be read. I ususally just select all and press "cmd + shift + U" to mark all read or not read. Suddenly, I noticed that this shortcut no longer works for me and even though it is a very minor problem, it is kind of annoying and I'd love to fix it.

    Basically, when I press "cmd + shift + u" now, he is not mark as read – instead it brings up a finder window with the option "open" files (the same window that appears when you click the paper clip in a new email to browse attachments), and I have no idea why!

    In Mail the shortcut should be the same, it is said it is the same shortcut in the drop-down menu, and I have not changed anything. I don't know what the finder window that appears is for, if I actually use it to open a file and then disappears from the window but nothing of actually opens or is happening. What's weird, is that when you use the shortcut to "mark as unread" and the finder window appears, it actually becomes the selected window - mail is still selected. And, therefore, this means that if you continue to press the shortcut to "mark as unread", it will be permanently open these "File Explorer" finder windows... which I've never seen elsewhere.

    Anyone who has a solution?

    So much worse... After weeks of being confused, that just now, I realize what the problem was.

    I installed the Puush application to quickly download screen shots and files... and guess what it was shortened by default for the "upload file"...

    Problem solved.

  • Satellite A200 - 19K: double keyboard lights up and the mouse no longer works

    Hello

    I just brought a notebook a200 19 k and the double keyboard lights up and the mouse no longer works.
    I can't find why it does this in the manual and what is the purpose of light with symbols on it.

    The symbols have a purpose. Thank you very much

    Hello

    As far as I know that not all mobile A200 were shipped with this function called TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad touchpad

    The dual-mode tablet buttons provide many different functions such as:

    1.) button to -> it toggle cursor mode and the mode button.
    When you switch the button mode button flashes blue and the mouse does not work

    (2.)-> volume button increases or decreases the volume of the speakers and headphones

    (3.)-> e-mail button starts you mailbox to receive and send emails

    4.) button ConfigFree -> starts the ConfigFree tool

    5.)-> Windows Vista Photo Gallery button starts the Windows Vista Photo Gallery

    The other three buttons to the bottom of the trim can be configured with different functions.

    Hello

    The double-click feature applies from the lock screen, not the home screen.

    To check that it is always enabled, go to: settings > portfolio & Apple pay > check that double click on the home page button is enabled.

  • Double-click on the graph in the map does not work

    Hello
    I had created an application where the user can click on the map and a marker will be created and it stores values x y and stored in the database and the user can also drag the marker and place it in the appropriate position and after the user drag and drop the marker we have a "confirm" to send the values of y from x to the database. I need to remove that confirm the button and replace only with double click where user double clicks on the marker settings must pass.

    To drag the marker, I use the mousedown event, but when I add the doubleclick event his does not work

    gr.doubleClickEnabled = true;
    gr.addEventListener (MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, registerComplaint);
    gr.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mousedownGraphic);

    even when I comment on the mouse to the bottom of the double click event on the graphic marker does not work.

    Help me in this task I need to do urgently.

    Concerning
    Arun Mohan

    While I can't possibly guess the cause of your problem, there is an easy solution for this.

    ...
    // record the time for the last mouse down
    private var _lastMouseDownTime:uint = new Date().time;
    // how fast the second mouse down needs to be to qualify for double click
    private var _doubleClickThreshold:uint = 500;
    ...
    // traces mouse down and double click
    private function mouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void {
                trace("mousedown");
                var mouseDownTime:uint = new Date().time;
                if(mouseDownTime - _lastMouseDownTime <= _doubleClickThreshold){
                    trace("doubleclick");
                }
                _lastMouseDownTime = mouseDownTime;

  • e-mail no longer works with firefox

    Yahoo mail no longer works with firefox. but there is no problems with yahoo mail when I use chrome. This problem started a week ago. today is 02/07/15

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and delete cookies only from Web sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
  • Double click on the Home button does not show open applications?

    Why not double click on the Home button shows my open apps? I have an iphone 6Plus, and I want to close some applications that do not work properly.

    Try a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose anything. And then try to click double fast to access the app selector window. Note that these applications are not open. May be best to remove the apps and reinstall, but try the above first.

  • I'm on windows 7 64 bit, and when I try to save a site by double clicking on the icon star on the address bar, bookmark box flickers power on and off and disappears later

    I'm on windows 7 64 bit and when I try to save a site by double clicking on the icon star on the address bar, bookmark box flickers power on and off and then disappears. I did some research and found that the default theme is the cause. I installed a different theme and the problem goes away and that's why I don't know the root cause.

    I tried to do a system restore to the factory, but I can not click on the next to take me through the restoration and end up having to close it via the main power switch.

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    You have the same problems with a mouse external or just the touchpad?

    If an external mouse works correctly, you can use it to do a recovery install. This can help you to solve the problem, if this just s software.

    Not least have last but you tried to update the driver for the touchpad? You can find it on the official website of Toshiba:

  • An alternative to a double click on the time when you need to consult a calendar

    Sometimes, I need to look at a calendar for some reason any. I usually double-click the clock to browse a.

    However, I am on a computer not my own where I limited access privileges. When I double-click on the clock, I get a message "you don't have the proper privilege level to change the system time.

    Is there another similar calendar built into Windows or Microsoft Office 2007 that I use when I am a simple user and cannot double-click on the clock? I do not have to install any software.

    The system that I had in mind is using Windows XP Professional. I don't have access rights to install software. However, I discover that I am able to run sol.exe to my flash drive. Apparently I can run executables as long as they don't need admin powers to install or run.

    I have not polled enough to discover the limits of what I can and cannot do with the software on my flash drive.

  • Windows Mail no longer works and I get a pop up window telling me that it has stopped working.

    My Windows mail no longer works... it opens and then tells me that it has stopped working... it is highlighted on the Inbox. I have Panda Security but the scan of mail turned off. All started having this problem. Running Vista Home
    Thank you Jacquie

    original title: Windows Mail has stopped working

    There are extreme measures you can take.  One is either movement store the content of the message to another directory and WinMail starts it will be a clean message store (or you can simply rename the directory from the old Windows Mail message store and then create a new directory named Windows Mail which will begin to empty).  The other is to back up the registry key to Winmail (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm) and then remove it and then start WinMail and who must rebuild the registry key.  The first allows to compensate for a corrupt message store (you can use the file |) Import | Messages into the plu message store you renamed) and the second allows to compensate for a corrupted under the WinMail key registry hive.  I suspect the first manoeuvre will fix the problem, but I don't know.

    But those who are basically last stations.  I would like to save things before you do anything that anyone else.

  • music file will not play in second hard drive double click Error "" the requested operation requires a rise ".

    Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click.

    Windows 7 ultimate/64

    I have a second hard drive on which I store my music files. If I open a player (Foobar is what I use now) and open the music file in the program, he plays very well, since the second HD.

    But if I double click on the music file (.mp3, usually), I get the message:

    "The requested operation requires a rise."

    I think it should open in the player by default when I do that.

    I remember well, it wasn't the case when I started to use this computer (it's fairly new), while something might have changed.
    I have the .mp3, .wav etc all default extensions for the Foobar player program.

    I went through elaborate measures to appropriate the entire disk and have granted full permissions for me as a user, following to the letter one of the many sites of the detailed instructions for this operation. But there is no help in sight.
    Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click

    So I can let my reader opens a music file leave a second drive, but I can't call him by double click or click right/context citing the player. When I do that, nothing happens, but I don't get the message "requires a rise."

    Every time I think that I am getting to know Windows 7, something like this happens. Avoid to receive life dull, of course.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I've pretty much exhausted my own attempts.

    Jack

    Update: I think I've solved the problem. I have no idea that what caused it, but here's what fixed it:

    1 uninstalled Foobar with usual Control Panel uninstall
    2A through the startup disk everything and delete folders or files with the name "foobar" in them.
    3 did the same for the registry (creating a point of restoration first, of course)
    4 restarted
    5 download and install Foobar.

    Yes.

    Works very well.

    A big thank you to all who responded.
