ICloud Mail replacement for smart mailboxes?

Anyone guide me here on how to have the Mail that is forwarded from my work show in separate organization like I could do in Smart Mail Boxes.  Folders/New Folder and mail rule did not work correctly for me in iCloud mail.  Or is Apple not there yet with something new losing something old?  OS7.2 and iOS5.
thanks

aside from the rules settings there is nothing to manage. Only "archieve", but that's more of a "to keep" folder .

  • Moving to iCloud will delete my Smart Mailboxes?

    Currently, I read that moving to iCloud will delete all of my Smart Mailboxes. I have about 40 of them and I own a business and this feature helps me organize my emails. I haven't moved to iCloud for this reason. They say the deadline is June 30th. Is there any way that Apple will leave this feature in once I move to iCloud?

    Smart mailboxes don't 'sync' in Lion, just as they did not 'sync' in Snow Leopard. A smart mailbox is merely a saved search, no mail is actually in it. Your smart mailbox searches should transfer to iCloud but even if they don't you can just make them again.

  • Mail: search and smart mailboxes stopped working

    Hi folks,
    In mail the search and smart mailboxes have stopped working.  I have a hunch it's something to do with iCloud as my partner is now logged onto iCloud using iTunes etc. Can you help?

    My accounts are POP. But I have managed to fix the problem. When you mentioned Spotlight, I went into System Preferences thinking I may had accidentally turn off emails as a search option in Spotlight. It was on, but I turned it OFF and then ON again, and now search works in mail as usual. And my Smart Mailboxes too.
    It's one of those things
    Thanks for your help

  • Upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 and lost mail in several Smart Mailboxes

    I upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8. Several of my Smart Mail Boxes lost all email content but others remained in tact. Now the ones that lost content don't accept emails that meet the criteria for the Smart Box.
    Anyone have that experience? Any ideas on recapturing? I didn't back up my mail prior to upgrade.

    Welcome to the Discussion,
    Smart Mailboxes are only virtual mailboxes, and contain nothing -- they are the product of a search list, and messages must stay in their original mailboxes. All the messages will still in the originating mailboxes, unless something else you did impacted those actual mailboxes, so you should be able to rewrite the definitions for these Smart Mailboxes.

  • How to use Flagged mailbox in rules for smart mailbox?

    Since I installted ML I have a new mailbox called Flagged. In Lion I had a smart mailbox called Flagged which did the same.
    I used this smart mailbox in Lion in rules of other smart mailboxes. The new mailbox Flagged in ML however can't be selected in a rule for a smart mailbox. It is in fact the only one I can't select.
    Am I the only one facing this problem? If so, is there a solution for it?

    The only use I've found so far for the Flagged messages is to be able to set different colours for different things and then use the preset mailbox to isolate and concentrate on them:
    And, as I'm using iCloud, I also get to see them on my laptop.

  • Mail Rules vs Smart Mailbox

    What is the difference between say making a rule in email that puts all your emails from a person in a mailbox called "Friend" vs creating a smart mailbox which puts all emails from that friend into a smart mailbox called "Friend"...
    Thank you

    Just as Barney said... A Smart Mailbox is just like having a permanent search going on. Say if you type in Johnny Appleseed in the search box of the Mail app in the upper right corner. Then all mail from JA will be visible. Make a Smart Mailbox to show all mails from JA, then that Smart Mailbox is doing that same search for you.
    As for deleting, yes. If you delete a message from the Smart Mailbox, then you are deleting it from wherever it was. If it was in the Inbox, then it will be deleted. Again, simply because it's just a "Search box".

  • Compound criteria for smart mailboxes?

    I would like to create a smart mailbox with compound rules such as:
               (To contains "x"  AND Subject contains "y") OR (From contains "z")
    Is this possible?  If so, how is it done?  Is there a manual or web page that explains how to do this?
    Sorry for the elementary question, but I'm new to Mac Mail.
    P.S.  Another way I could handle the same need (for me) would be to have mail rules that apply to outgoing e-mails, not just received e-mails.  My understanding from other posts I've seen is that this did not exist in the past.  Has that been changed?

  • Creating individual mail folders for each mailbox

    I have switched to mac from pc and cant figure out how to make individual folders within my 2 email accounts. With Outlook I had 2 email accounts and lots of individual folders within those accounts to help seperate my different emails. With mac I cant figure out how. I tried smart mailboxes but it wont let me put emails from 2 different senders into 1 smart mailbox. Also, how can I transfer my old emails from my pc to my mac.
    Thanks for the help!

    In Apple Mail, accounts are sometimes referred to as Locations. Folders are called Mailboxes. If you have multiple accounts configured and you create a mailbox it will ask you which location it belongs to. That's how you create a folder within an account.
    Smart mailboxes are not real mailboxes, but are automatic searches. They don't belong to any one account.
    Transferring mail depends on the other application you were using. Mail's Import Mailboxes feature will help you through the process. It does not support importing from Outlook though.

  • How can I convert Mail rules into smart mailboxes

    I recently posted a report about faults in mail rules that move messages to mailboxes automatically. In light of this, I thought about converting my rules into smart mailboxes. I started, but looked at the number of rules that I have and thought 'there must be an easier way!'
    What I'm after is a script, or hints as to how to write a script, that will iterate over all my mailbox rules and add new smart mailboxes. I expect that the Mail program might provide some programatic interface for this, but don't know where to start looking.
    Hoping that someone can help me.
    Regards, Andy

    Well, if coding help is what you want then this isn't the place to ask. The Applescript and Unix forums are here. These are better places to ask about programming.
    If you do a Google search on "applescript" you should find the two or three major sites for finding prepared Applescripts or Automator actions, although I don't recall ever seeing one for your intended use. But it can't hurt to look. You'll also find the link to the Applescript language documentation site, but you will also need to examine Mail's provided Applescript programming facilities.
    Bash programming manuals abound although nothing necessarily specific to the Mac. OS X implements a reasonably standard Unix implementation of the various supported shell environments. Google searching for "bash tutorial" or programming guides will yield lots of resources.

  • What is Behavior for Smart Mailbox message retention/deletion?

    When (how long) do Smart Mailboxes delete their mail? Mine seem to last only a day or a week. It's impossible to tell. I don't see anywhere that I can set the preference.
    Thanks

    Smart Mailboxes don't do anything to messages except list them. The messages must reside somewhere else. If the message is deleted from wherever it lives, or if it no longer satisfies the search criteria that define the Smart Mailbox, it will no longer appear. For example, suppose the Smart Mailbox specifies "unread" messages. Once the message has been read, it will not appear in that Smart Mailbox the next time it is opened.

  • Unread messages count is wont for Smart Mailbox

    Has anyone else noticed that a smart mailbox has a non-zero unread message count but as soon as it is clicked on the count is reset to zero? Zero is correct because all of the messages have been read. I've tried rebuilding the inbox but it hasn't helped. I also recreated the smart mailbox but that didn't help either. Sounds like a bug to me but I wonder if others have experienced it. I am using Mail Tags so that is a possible complication.

    Same problem here with Yahoo mail.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I have looked at Yahoo mail from all folders in my phone (running 7.0.3 now), as well as in a browser, looked at Inbox (empty), all Trash, Sent, etc. folders and they're completely empty on Yahoo servers.
    I thought that 7.0.3 had initially cleared up this issue but it has reappeared, and I don't know how to fix it.

  • How to show mail count in smart mailbox?

    I have a smart mailbox that displays messages from a specific local folder/mailbox for the current day.  The counter next to this smart mailbox is only for unread messages.  Is there a way to change the counter so it displays for all messages in the current day (read and unread)?

    It works on a new install on a new computer... so its obviously from the upgrade... it happens on mine as you have described... but setup a new computer for a client and they got message counts on their smart folders...

  • Boolean logic for Smart Mailboxes?

    So all my incoming email goes thru a mail filter and I maintain a separate mailbox as a logfile. This is so that I can view the log online via a web client. The log is basically a mail box whereby I trip off the body of the message and annotate how the message was handled. Now this becomes an issue when I want to create a smart mailbox where I have multiple addresses to the same mailbox but I don't want to see the log messages. So I make use of message no in mailbox a lot whenever I'm using smart mailboxes but Mail.app doesn't let you define ((this address or that address) and (message not in mailbox))
