Make sure the inbox folder is collapsed, and you will see all the emails from both accounts. if you want to see each sepratly, expand the mail box folder and underneath you will see the individual accounts. Take care. On Nov 15, 2014, at 2:29 AM, Eleanor Martha Burke

Can I play .mp3 files on the Mac without going through iTunes? Will it play .wma files? If I paste my music library from the PC, mostly .mp3 files but a few .wma's, into the iTunes library, will iTunes convert them or do I have to do something??? I have a .midi folder I would like to

The freeware VLC media player will play both mp3 and WMA files and pretty much any other music or video format. You can get a plug in for iTunes to play WMA but personally I do not bother. I use VLC as my default player from Finder and simply open iTunes if I want to play media from within

Yes there are two ways. 1. The way I prefer is to open the folder in finder, press command A to select all and then command down arrow. If VLC is your default player it will open all the files as a temporary playlist and you can navigate through the files using command left and right arrow..

No The playlist is just a text file which points the media player to the tracks you want to play. By the way I have just tested this method and it worked perfectly so it will definitely do what you want. David Griffith On 15 Nov 2014, at 23:40, Eleanor Martha Burke
