Backing Up Preferences and Email Data

[Kelly Duffy]

Hi all,

My Mac at work is having some serious issues, I am
going to have to reformat my hard drive. The problem
is I need to be able to backup my preferences and
email data. 

I'm mainly concerned about my email but I also need
some application preferences backed up, the original
CDs for them are somewhere here, that's all I know.
The person who would have known has quit and
everything else is still in boxes after the company
move. It could take me weeks to find themI think I
have a couple of hours before it completely dies, I
have to finish backing up, if it lets me. It keeps
crashing and turning my CDs into coasters. :|I think I

need to be able to use them. These applications are
Dreamweaver, Toast, Photoshop, Quark, and Microsoft
Office. Can I just copy the program files onto CDs
then drag them back once I've reformatted or do I need
to copy any preference panels to make them work?

For my email is the Microsoft User Data file all I
need to back up?

I'm getting concerned because I think its going to
crash hard any time now, I've crashed several times
today and the last time I had to boot up with Disk
Warrior after finding myself with the flashing
Folder/Mac Face icon when I rebooted. I keep getting
lots of nasty errors with Disk First Aid and Disk
Warrior and I constantly get Memory errors, running
out of memory, not enough memory to perfor an
operation even when there is more than enough RAM
allocated. It also keeps crashing while I'm trying to
back everything up, thankfully I back up regularly so
there isn't all that much to do but I'm making one CD
into a coaster for every successful back-up CD I burn.

Any backing up advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Kelly Duffy

that you can not find lol

Newsletter Links in Mail 1.2.5 ?

[RONDA BROWN]

Hello WAMUGers,

Has anyone else experienced this ?

I'm using Mail 1.2.5 in  OSX10.2.6 and I find in some Newsletters that 
the 'Links' to web sites don't work.
The problem I have is a Link (not a web address), that should link to a 
Web Address.

Roxio Toast & WestNet are two that come to mind.

I sent WestNet an email & this is what they replied :

"It may be possible that your browser/email client you are using does 
not support  tags. This is the method used to refer the article 
Headline to the actual article within the Newsletter itself. These are 
also referred to as 'Anchors' or 'Bookmarks'."


I have now found a way that the Newsletter Links work.
I forwarded a WestNet Newsletter to myself & then I found that the 
Newsletter in my SENT BOX  --- the links work ???
So I forwarded a Roxio Newsletter to myself & the Newsletter in my SENT 
BOX --- the links work ???


Weird huh ... or not ?

The Newsletter in my IN BOX ... the links don't work.
The Newsletter in my SENT BOX ... the links work.

It seems to have something to do with html and when
Mail receives it, it's not displaying the html properly, but then when I
send it out it's correcting the html problem. ... funny how it corrects 
the email when it sends.


I have 'Display images & embedded objects in HTML messages' ticked.

So for the time being  if I can't get a Newsletter's 'Links' to 
work  I forward the message to myself.


Weird, weird  but it seems to work this way.

Cheers,
