How can I select all subject related messages from Inbox and Sent folders

L&G,
is there any way to select messages containing the same subject from the Inbox and the Sent folder by means of an keyboard shortcut. I.e. I would like to select a message in the Inbox folder and request Mail to display all related mails.
Thanks in advance for your support.

not like this. you can do a subject search inside one mailbox or in all mailboxes at once. you can not restrict a search to two mailboxes. even when searching one mailbox you have to enter the search string in the search window. there is no shortcut that will do it for you.

How do i save all my mail in my inbox and sent box?

hello
i am going to upgrade my OSX to Snow Leopard
how do i save all my mail in my inbox and sent box then restore it when my new OSX is installed?
thanks in advance
tk

It's always good to have a backup, but Snow Leopard should leave all your data intact, just install new OS components & updated Apple Apps.
If you don't have room to back everything up...
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
For Address Book, quit AB...
Files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
Folders...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/

How can i select all RAR archives in a folder and it's subfolders?

so that i can quickly move them all into the same folder to unarchive them. This is after i've decompressed a bunch of zips. Unless someone can tell me how to get 'the unarchiver' to be less dumb, and find the other pieces on it's own. I am constantly getting audio and video in this stupid file arrangement, obviously the work of an evil windows warlock.
like this
[folder]
somefile.xyz.01
[folder]
somefile.xyz.02
[folder]
somefile.xyz.03
and so on. It is driving me completely crazy because it seems like it should be such a natural thing to tell the OS- 'hey, select all the files all the way down into all the subfolders within this folder that are like this one.'
i will set up a shrine and tell tales of your greatness througout the land if you can help me figure this out.

Here's what you do...
open a console window at the root directory that contains all of the .zip files.
After you open all of the zip files you'll have a directory full of subdirectories that contain your .rar files.
Make sure your console window is pointed at the root. If you type "ls" (without the quotes) in the console you should get a directory listing showing all of the subfolders.
Now type this command into the console:
find ./ -iname "*.rar" -exec mv {} ./ \;
This command will recursively find all of the .rar files within the parent directory and then move them to the root level of the parent directory.
Now all of the .rar's will be at the same level and you can use your tool of choice to unrar them.
OOPs, I meant terminal window, NOT console window.
After I wrote this response I put together a little automator workflow and saved it as a service. Seems to work well. Just open automator and create a service. Specify that the service accepts folders from the finder. Then add a single component which is "run shell script". Set the shell script to pass input as arguments. The shell script should be set to contain this:
for f in "$@"
do
cd $f
find ./ -iname "*.rar" -exec mv {} ./ \;
done
Save with a service name: I use "unrar subfolders".
Now you simply right click on the parent folder that contains subdirectories that have segments of .rar archives. Pick the service that you created and the magic will happen and all .rar files will be at the parent level. Make sure you right click the parent folder and not just one of the .rar subfolders, that won't work.
This script can easily be modified to also do the unzip step and clean up afterwards but I like to keep my actions simple and short to avoid unintended consequences.
Those of you following along might notice that the script in fact can operate on several folders so if you select a set of folders and right click it should process all of them in turn. I haven't tested that!
The useful trick that can be used again and again is the "find ./ ########### -exec ####### ./ \;" sequence. This will recursively search from the current parent directory and execute another command on everything that the search finds. The search can be as complex as you like as can the execution step. Just make sure you really know which directory is the current parent because you can easily wind up firing this up from your account root or even system root and do nasty things!!!!!

HT201269 How can I backup all my email messages from my ipad2 to my mac. iTunes does not transfer all the sent / received mail.

Hi,
I damaged my ipad and saved a backup using iTunes while it was away for repair.
I used another ipad while it was away, but none of my email messages sent or received had been saved.
How do I backup my email ?

hi, not totally, as when the N8 died, the shop here in France couldn't really do much to help and more like didn't want to do much to help, and transferred what data was available from the sim to the mini sim on the apple. Now looking in depth, Windows Contact is an 'orrible application that is not very easy to handle (Windows Address Book is no longer available for anything above Vista and is all tied into Windows Live and things to do with Hotmail and Messenger..... Gatesy is trying to dominate things again..... WOZ HELP!!)
Sony have worked alongside Apple for a long time, so with a new 12/2012 Experia smartphone, the transfer details are a doddle, but now that Nokia has succombed to being part of the Dark Side (MS) and offering windows phones only, I can understand the retiscence of our late leader and his "heavenly crew" of having to deal with the Dark Side

How can i save all my text messages from an old iphone to iTunes on a PC?

My apps show up, but I can't get everything tansferred over. I have to save my old text messages for legal reasons as I am going through a divorce.

You should be able to simply back up your iPhone via iTunes and that will automatically save your iPhone text messages to your computer. If for some reason you also want to export them or print them from your PC there a various programs that will let you do that. Here's a MacWorld article with a few tips.

How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?

How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone? I have the 4s she has the 4. When she got the latest update, everything on our phones synced. She got her own apple id, but she is still getting all of my text messages.

How can I select more than one song from the search results?

I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
I hope some Windows user can help me out.

Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?
I've tried to fix this by changing the IMAP account's Junk settings so that they are moved either to the
"Junk" folder on 'account name'
or
Other: (drop down list for choosing accounts and one of its folders) Junk on 'account name'
I am sure I lost all of my important, not junk mail, amazon.com messages as well as other messages from comercial sites.
Secondly: Please tell me what the difference is between the 2 junk folder choices above.
Thank you,
