Comments for Hotmail accounts(Hotmail.com, Live.com, Msn.com):

Pop3 retrieval by design removes messages from the online web user interface’s Inbox. To retain a copy in the online Inbox ensure the email client is configured to leave a copy of the message on the server
Pop3 retrieval, if the local email client is not configured to leave the message on the server, will place the original copy of the email in the online Deleted folder.
The Deleted folder is emptied automatically by the server(usually within a few days)

Netbeans automatically uses the Windows system default language as the default user interface language. I believe that it means to be a nice feature for localization. But I personally find it uncomfortable because I have been used with English interface.

After I did some Google search, I learned a few tips to set the Netbeans UI language.

1. Temporary Solution

Add “–locale en:US” at the end of Netbeans startup command. 

“C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0.1\bin\netbeans.exe”  –locale en:US 

2. Permanent Solution

Go to Netbeans installation directory, for example,

C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0.1\etc

Open “netbeans.conf” and find netbeans default option line

netbeans_default_options=”-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true”

Add “-J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US” to the end of this line

netbeans_default_options=”-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US”

It would be nice that there is an option to allow me choose the user interface language in the next Netbeans release.

To Show the Language Bar
To show the Language bar (using Classic view in Control Panel):

 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and Language Options.
2. On the Languages tab, under Text services and input languages, click Details.
3. Under Preferences, click Language Bar.
4. Select the Show the Language bar on the desktop check box

If the “Language Bar” Disabled, pls be sure On the Advanced “System Configuration” optional is not selected to Turn Off The Adcanced Text Service.

Good luck
