Yahoo! Mail getting free IMAP access?

Posted Jun 24th 2006 12:27PM by Chris Price
According to this post on Yahoo! Next, the Yahoo! Mobile folks are testing some new feature that get you directly from your cellphone to some of their services - IM, Mail, Address Book.

Of particular interest is that Mail access is done via IMAP and appears to work on any IMAP email client - including Thunderbird. Non-web client access has been a Plus feature for a long time now - and is arguably why so many people subscribe to the upgrade.

Just plug the following into your client and use your Y! Account \ Password to access it:

* IMAP: imap.next.mail.yahoo.com
* SMTP: smtp.next.mail.yahoo.com

Using these settings, you can access free accounts with a full client (I never upgraded after Yahoo! Plus was discontinued) - does this mean that the feature will become more generally available in the future?

[Update] As JR mentioned in the Comments - don't all go IMAP crazy and crash the servers. He suggests setting your client to poll every hour.

Alternatively - just use the Y! Mail Beta - real-time messages and most of the functionality of a desktop client, but in your browser.

OutlookTempCleaner

OutlookTempCleaner is a support tool for Microsoft Office Outlook. It gives you easy access to the Temp folder that Outlook uses to open attachments. It further allows you to automate maintenance to it via Windows's Scheduled Tasks.

Main Program Features

• Easy access to Outlook's SecureTempFolder used for opening attachments
• Determination of the current size of the folder
• Empty the folder
• Command line options to perform maintenance to the folder via for instance Scheduled Tasks and logon/logoff scripts

Screenshots

The main application.

Command line options available.

Examples

Examples for use of the command line functions;
-clearfolder
If you want to automatically clean the folder via a logon or logoff script or task, you can use the -clearfolder switch. This is particularly handy for shared domain computers. You can basically set it and forget it and not worry about leaving sensitive files, your hard disk filling up or suddenly running into errors when you often deal with attachments with the same name.
-openfolder
As the OutlookSecureTemp folder location is different for each user there is no way to deploy a single shortcut.
With OutlookTempCleaner you can create a shortcut with the -openfolder startup switch to directly open the OutlookSecureTemp folder. The result is that you can deploy a standardized shortcut and allow users easy access to the folder.
-foldersize
With the -foldersize startup switch you can create a scheduled task (for instance; run once per week) to inform you of the current size of the folder. This way you can easily keep track of its size and empty it when you think it is getting too big.
OutlookTempCleaner can be executed directly from the Run command as well by typing; outlooktempcleaner
There is no need to supply the installation path to the file.

Download

OutlookTempCleaner is a free tool. Commercial companies and users of the command line options available in OutlookTempCleaner are highly encouraged to make a donation to continue to keep it free and support future development.

Workaround to Disable and Remove OGA Office Not Genuine Notifications (Uninstall KB949810)

After installing Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) Notifications (KB949810) from Windows Update
, OGA Validation will perform genuine test on installed Microsoft Office XP, Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office 2010 software. If Office product is validated as not genuine, “This copy of Microsoft Office is not genuine” notification message will be displayed on notification area (system tray), at splash screen during Office program (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) startup, and at Office’s toolbar or ribbon with extra “Get Genuine Office” tab or element.

KB949810 OGA Notifications update is designed so that end-user cannot uninstall or removed the update using “Add and Remove Programs” or “Program and Features” in the Control Panel, in a bid to encourage end-users to buy genuine Microsoft products. But, if you’re a legit Office users, and the OGA validation has returned false-positive result, use the one of the following hacks to disable and remove Microsoft Office not genuine notification messages displayed by OGA Notifications.

Note: Hack below simply remove and disable OGA Notifications so that no notification message about Office not genuine is not displayed, and works on most versions of OGA Notifications. It doesn’t crack or patch OGA Validation component, OGACheckControl.dll, which does the validation process to determine if the Office product is genuine or not.

Hack 1: Disable OGAAddin.dll from Loading with Office Applications

OGAAddin.dll (and OGAVerify.exe) is a few files that been installed by OGA Notifications. OGAAddin.dll allowed OGA Notifications to install as an add-in to applications in Office productivity suites to display not genuine reminder message to illegitimate and illegal copy of Office. By stopping the OGAAddin load behavior and preventing OGAAddin.dll from loading, the Office Genuine Advantage Notifications message can be suppressed.

1. Run Registry Editor (RegEdit.exe).
2. Press Ctrl-F to open search box, and search for OGAAddin.connect registry key.
3. In the right pane, right click on Load Behavior and select Modify.
4. Change the value data from 3 to 0.
5. Repeat for each and every OGAAddin.connect found.

With this hack, Windows still treat OGA as installed, and will not prompt user to install again.

Hack 2: Disable and Remove OGAAddin from within Office Applications

1. Run one of the Office app such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher and etc as administrator.

Note: Open Windows Explorer, go to %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 (may be different depends on version of Office installed and x64 OS uses Program Files (x86) folder), and right click on Office app executable, e.g. winword.exe, excel.exe, powerpnt.exe and etc to run as administrator.
2. Go to Options (at the bottom of menu triggered by Office button) -> Add-Ins.
3. Select COM Add-ins under Manage drop menu list, and click Go.

Disable and Remove OGA Addin Add-In
4. Disable or remoev the OGAAdmin.
5. Repeat above steps for each and every Office applications installed.

Hack 3: Delete and Remove (Uninstall) Office Genuine Advantage Notifications Components

Although Microsoft does not allow OGA Notifications to be uninstall, but that does not mean that individual file components of OGA Notifications cannot be deleted, removed or uninstalled manually.

OGAVerify.exe
OGAAddin.dll

Delete the above files. It’s also possible rename the files so that system
cannot find them.

Hack 4: Remove OGAAddin.connect Registry Key in System Registry

Pretty much similar to method 1 and 2, but it’s quicker and will complete remove trace of OGAAddin.connect from registry. Unlike hack 1, Windows Update may prompt you to install again.

1. Run Registry Editor (RegEdit.exe).
2. Go to each and every of the following registry keys, and any other which contains OGAAddin.connect registry value sub-key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
3. Delete the OGAAddin.connect registry value.

Hack 5: Properly Uninstall KB949810 OGA Notification via OGANotifier.msi

Tip by AnonyMouse

Easy to uninstall. Just follow these steps:

1. Go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\8998da55d52b36c0e98ba016ddd50de0\ folder.

5. On Settings Tab
6. Disable as follows (Check):

Delete the task if it is not scheduled to run again
6. Restart Windows Normally
7. Block Programs in Firewall (Prevents running IF there is an automatic Update)
* OGAExec.exe **create empty file (If not done in 3)
* WgaTray.exe **create empty file (If not done in 3)

With any one of the hacks above, no more Office Genuine Advantage notification message will be displayed and showed on system, regardless of genuine status of the Office software, unless of course, end-user chooses to reinstall KB949810.

The previous and next item buttons are unavailable in Microsoft Outlook when opening Enterprise Vault (EV) archived items.

Document ID: 287116
http://support.veritas.com/docs/287116 E-Mail Colleague IconE-Mail this document to a colleague

DOCUMENTATION: The previous and next item buttons are unavailable in Microsoft Outlook when opening Enterprise Vault (EV) archived items.
Details:
The previous and next arrow item buttons are unavailable in Microsoft Outlook when this issue is being encountered. These buttons will be displayed as grayed out and are not available for selection.
This behavior occurs because when an archived email is opened in Microsoft Outlook, the message is retrieved, stored as a temporary internet file, and displayed by EV through Microsoft Outlook in HTML file format. As the message no longer exists within Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange, the previous and next items are unavailable.

Figure 1


When the previous or next items are still in a pending archive state, the previous and next button will be available as the item still exists on the Microsoft Exchange server as a safety copy.
