Thunderbird will not use the IMAP protocol for gmail unless I have "allow less secure operations" - help!

I used you bird for years, so the question is how to upgrade an old account IMAP. Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall you bird? I hope not! Maybe delete the account Gmail of you bird and reinstall?

Using Windows7, planning to migrate to Windows 8 soon but not immediately.

Thanks for any help. I searched the existing threads - if my answer is there, I was unable to find it! I found some indications that it is simply the way it is, but in other place indicates that this is possible. Verizon (which apparently don't use IMAP) is my client by default in you bird and I want to keep it this way. WHAT is the problem?

Christ1, I know it's all the same account Gmail - but the article you sent me was very useful. Thank you for taking the time to stay with me on this - I'm sorry to be unclear, but... I'm really out of my depth here! There are many on the way computers and the internet work is a mystery to me, but OTOH I can usually bend to my will, even if I do not understand how they work!

I think you put your finger on something important for me. I use Gmail so MUCH as a POP3 account (via you bird) and (more rarely) online, such as webmail - when I'm not at my main computer. And I want to keep it this way, so it seems that if I need to keep things as they are. I told Google to enable IMAP, but also continue to use you bird (POP).

"Security" - well, if Gmail has to have me 'allow less secure connections', then there must be SOMETHING less safe on pop... don't know more on this subject than that, however.

We will examine this 'resolved for now' and thanks again.

  • Size of the application icon... Home screen will not use the right one. Help!

    I thought I could include different sizes of icons (ie. 48 x 48, 32 x 32, etc.) and the camera choose the size of the device or the theme-appropriate application icons. Of course, this isn't the case. So, how do you get the device to use the right size for the theme icon?

    For example, I have a Verizon 8330 (curve) and the theme of Verizon uses sizes 48 x 48 icons. If I use a size of 48 x 48 icon to my app, it looks great. However, if I change the theme of one of the standard BB Dimension themes, it will be small scale my icon 48 x 48, 32 x 32, which seems quite bad. Why does not he chooses the icon size 32 x 32 I understand? How can I provide both sizes and have it use the correct size according to the theme? It looks even worse when I use 32 x 32 and he then it extends to 48 x 48. Help!

    You'll have to do it by programming it your application startup.  You can use the following code to get the width and height of the icon:

    int height = net.rim.blackberry.api.homescreen.HomeScreen.getPreferredIconHeight();
    int width = net.rim.blackberry.api.homescreen.HomeScreen.getPreferredIconWidth();
    

    Then set the using the appropriate icon:

    net.rim.blackberry.api.homescreen.HomeScreen.updateIcon( icon );

  • Computer will not use the drive when you restart.

    I have a Pavilion dv 9000 and had problems more and more lately (win explorer fails, application launcher fail, blue screens, crashes etc.).

    I decided to use the recovery disk that was created at first boot. According to all the manuals that I found (on - and offline), it is just to put the recovery disk in the DVD-ROM and restart.

    The problem is that nothing happens. The computer does not use the disk when it reboots.

    Anyone experienced the same problem with the recovery disk?

    I'm not having any other problems with the ROM, works perfektly once Windows is running.

    Thank you

    You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    I hope this helps.

    On an iMac with Lion 10.7.3, I try to get an Epson ReadyPrint T20 - TM to use the Epson driver when it is connected to our server Windows 2008 R2 with DRC 2.1.1 but it keeps using a HP Color Laser Jet 2800 Series PS we have not the HP printer and I need some features in the Epson driver.

    Hello

    I suggest you to post the question on the following link:

  • Vista will not recognize the projector connected for multiple display

    I'm under a system dual boot with Windows XP and Vista.  When running under XP, I doesn't hurt to connect a projector to my laptop and extend the desktop on the projector for meetings and others.

    When I am running Vista, it does not even recognize that the projector is connected.  However, once I have connected the projector, if I reboot the system, it will then display on the projector.  If I disconnect the projector, the screen does not reappear on the screen of the laptop, I have to restart, with the projector removed for office reappear on the screen of the laptop.  I'm hoping to get multiple monitors to work with Vista, as it does in my XP boot.

    For the purpose of the next presentation running in XP is not an option.

    Hi cptrigeek

    Try these steps and check if that helps:

    Method 1: We can try to perform a power cycle of the projector.

    Remove the cable from the power of the projector and this continues for 5-10 minutes. Also do the same for the laptop, Dungeon, it off. Then put back in place and start the projector. Now, start the laptop as well. Connect now. Now, you will need to install the driver for it (if there is one). After which, you need to configure the settings of the laptop.

    Method 2: Check the following steps:

    1. connect the projector to your Windows PC. NOTE: the following steps apply if you use your PC in MIRROR mode only.

    2. on the screen of the computer, right CLICK on the desktop and select Properties.

    3. click on the SETTINGS tab. If you want that your displays in mirror (what you see on laptop, it's what the public sees) you must make sure that the box "extend my desktop to this monitor" is DISABLED. If you see a box of "mirroring", remember to check it out.

    4. drag the slider to 1024 x 768 screen. As a general rule, the external monitor may limit this parameter. If your screen is higher, it might not display on the projector, then you want to test this until you're ready to take the floor. Drag the color to highest (32 bit) if available or medium (16 bit) quality if the first is not available.

    5. now select FN and press the function key. This key is usually given by a small screen icon, the CRT/LCDtext and is usually found on F8 or F5 even. Press the appropriate operation button ONCE and wait. After a few seconds, the second screen should light up. Be patient, it may take up to 5 seconds. On the projector, it may take up to 10 seconds for the projector to detect your system and switch. Note: a second press of this function (in general) will switch to monitor EXTERNAL only. A third press stop INTERNAL onlyand the circle for each push after that. Also note that some laptops can do this sequence in a different order, so learn your system so that you can quickly to the desired mode.

    6. click on the ADVANCED button. If 'apply the new settings to display without restarting' is not selected, select it. Under screen refresh rate, select 60 Hz. click APPLY and CONFIRM the choice. Click OK to close the ADVANCED options dialog. Close the display properties dialog box. You should now see a mirroring of your monitor on the second monitor.

    7. test: A test, disconnect the second monitor. put your mobile PC to sleep. He wakes up and let it fully come (login if necessary), and then reconnect the external monitor. On some machines, he needs to quickly display the screen in the last known state (you may need to wait up to 10 seconds). If it is not correctly displayed, press the switch function, ONCE. Yet once, note that it can take up to 10 seconds to view, so be patient. If only the projector display now, some pressure on the function switch key should provide for both screens again. If you can't get the projector to display, check all your connections and settings above.

    8 Note that when you use the projector, after pressing the function for changing the monitor button, it may take up to 10 seconds for the monitor find and block on your machine. Just wait. Pressing on the keys new fkey can simply ruin your settings or turn off the projector.

    9. not all laptops work the same way. Please make sure you learn how your work before you get to your presentation.

    (Not mirrored)

    1. If you do NOT want mirrored poster (display of different internal and external), CHECK the box next to the line that reads "extend my Windows desktop to this monitor." This SHOULD result in the external monitor display an image which is an EXTENSION of the current desktop.

    2. in the settings dialog box, the internal monitor appears as a '1' and externally as a '2 '. Click ONCE on the '2 '.

    3. with '2' selected, drag the Screen Resolution slider to the left or to the right until the resolution reads "1024 x 768". Also affect the quality of the highest (32-bit color) if available or average (16 bit) if the first is not available.

    4. click on the ADVANCED button. If 'apply the new display settings without restarting' is not selected, select it.

    5. Select the MONITOR tab. Under screen refresh rate, select 60 Hz. click APPLY and CONFIRM the choice. Click OK to close the ADVANCED dialog box. Your system is now set for an extended desktop. When it is connected to the screen, you may need to use the function switch key to turn once more on this option, but on systems that I tested, the extended desktop comes just when the monitor is connected. Yet once, I suggested some tests with this mode of knowing how your laptop will perform when connected to an external monitor before coming to speak.

    6. notes that, in this mode, items moved to the extended desktop can be "lost" it if the external monitor is disconnected because they live on the extended desktop is no longer available. Also note that if the extended desktop is turned on, this part of funds 'second' can continue to live, which means that the cursor and the object can be moved off the screen in this sector and not be visible on a single internal monitor. To resolve this problem, do a right-click on the desktop, select Properties, select settings, click on the '2' box and UNCHECK the extend option. Items left on the extended desktop should now align the right edge of the internal display.

  • Configure the router WRT54G with the PUBLIC IP address and use the DHCP protocol for internal computers

    Hello

    I have a service online Internet with 5 public IP addresses.

    The router and the AP are connected to a switch.

    I would like to set up a WRT54G Router with a public IP address and use DHCP (with private ip address) for the computers that will connect to the AP.

    That the AP is connected to the switch, it is possible that the other wired computers that are connected to the same switch can get an IP from the DHCP?

    Thanks in advance

    In this case, the routing is automatic.

    WRT54G configuration:

    WAN:

    Internet connection: static IP address

    IP address: 180.X. X 170

    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248

    Gateway: 180.x.x.x (Ex: 180.x.x.1)

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C70 - C - 11 L half a year ago but I was too lazy to go to support so far.
    I bought this laptop because of the fairly large plug. But I was a little shocked when I discovered that this laptop is underperforming massively because he refuses to use the Nvidia 930 M card and use instead of the built-in Intel graphics card. I tried many things like going in the software nvidia and intel, but I can't seem to understand. "The" personal assistant Yoko "doesn't even have a GPU segment.
