Thunderbird: the current operation on "inbox" did not succeed. The mail server for account XXXX responded: [TRYCREATE] The requested item could not be found.

Thunderbird error:

The current operation on "inbox" did not succeed. The mail server for account XXXX responded: [TRYCREATE] The requested item could not be found.

Just tonight I've been having Sync issues with Thunderbird. This hasn't happened before but lately I have been using my mail on my mobile and webmail as well as Thunderbird and I have noticed unlike Gmail my Microsoft account seems to sync much slower between Thunderbird and Webmail than Gmail does.


Anyhow, restarting Thunderbird didn't seem to help and using my webmail was the only temporary solution I was able to find. Mail on the mobile seems to sync correctly.

Know of a solution? post it here so we can dot point a solution for future readers. Thanks!

Align/snap shapes to grid in Powerpoint

Drawing a simple flowchart in Powerpoint became frustrating when the flows/arrows were not straight and a snap to grid didn't work. Resulting in an angled and wonky flowchart.

Using the snap to grid feature didn't seem to help, even when adjusting the grid to be larger/smaller.

Tip: Holding down CTRL when using the arrows allows you to make smaller steps which helps align the arrows and shapes a bit more precisely when using a mouse is too tricky.

Have a solution too? why not share below in the comments.
