Just unlocked my phone and it’s kindly told me that as I have upgraded my MBP, my camera will now use high efficiency mode, whatever that is!

I wasn't trying to show off, I didn't know if I should take the gamble after reading other comments, but did and it worked.
I posted as a help to suggest that it does and should work!
I know. Sorry I didn't mean to insinuate you were showing off!
Agreed. In many ways it’s heartening to think we, who cannot complete the update, are in some ways “Special” wink

I think that translates as “Big Brother is watching you”

mm - feel for you. (See my post above) My 2011 MBP was fine after a bit of fiddling - my newer iMac has same symptoms as your MBP, and I’ve not yet found time to research a fix...

Righto. You didn't say. But yes, all OK and my (fusion) drive is still HFS+. I did not convert that or any external to APFS during beta. I am on 17A365 which I believe is not Beta.

Correct 17A365 is not Beta. To clarify, you have loaded HS without ill effect. Have I got that right?

Thanks

Not sure what I'm doing but in a nutshell I've deleted my drive and am installing El Capitan...only another 10 hours to go according to the timer. Once installed, I will updated the OS to Sierra but will leave High Sierra alone for the moment. Once bitten twice shy.

Thankfully I have everything backed up on iCloud.

Try one of these. I think what I did in the end was delete my disc from the disc utility and started all over again. Ended up with El Capitan (which took all day to install), and then from there successfully installed High Sierra.

I'm sure there are quicker and better fixes out there though.

Done it. Took about ten minutes to download and about another 30 to install.

Just cleared out massive number of "saved" emails from MacMail. I did this on the understanding that the emails would still be on AOL Mail. Seems I was wrong, they've gone from there too. Any ideas why this happened?

Thanks.

It depends on how you set up your email account.

I added AOL to Mail using "Internet Accounts" in System Preferences. Is there another way?

Some ways of doing it sync the emails between your Mac and the server, others are a one way connection. I'd expect that the AOL account way would keep them in sync.

I can't see any options in that respect. Odd thing is that there seems to be more (ie historic) stuff on aol that's not on Mac Mail, and yet it also seems to be mirrored in so far as the deletions are concerned. I've clawed back the deleted stuff, but it would be nice to know what went on.

Which of these setups did/do you have?

If you delete stuff from imap it deletes it on the server as well.
However it should be in deleted items so easy enough to recover.

Ok, were you saving the emails to a particular folder or set of folders? This help document explains how the location of the folder matters (Organise your email).
