Select multiple mails in a conversation

Hi,
My emails are organized by conversation. Great feature.
My problem is that I sometime receives hundreds of emails in one conversation and I delete some of them and only keep good ones.
I try to select multiple emails at once using cmd or shift: no success. I can only select one email at a time and therefore delete emails one by one OR the whole conversation...
Any idea ?

I have no third-party plugin installed on my machine (at least for Mail).
I'm trying to click them in the preview panel, where they are numbered.
I can select multiple emails in the list panel when conversation is expanded.
With no preview in the list panel, it's pretty hard to know which one needs to be selected.
That's why I'm trying to make a multiple selection in the preview panel...

Select multiple mail messages

I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. In Lion and all previous versions of Mail, I was able to click and drag over a bunch of messages to delete blocks of unwanted messages at the same time. In the newer version I cannot seem to do that. I can only select one message at a time or shift click to select a block. Anyone know of a way around this "improvement"? Thanks- Dave

If I have 10 consecutive messages that I want to delete (which is common for me), in the previous version, I simply dragged across them and hit Delete. Now I have to click the first and then shift click the second. It doesn't seem like much, but the old way is simpler and faster for me.

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?
My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card. I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it. Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
If not, any suggestions on backup apps? I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...). Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
Thanks!
Rich

How do I open multiple Mail messages at once?

I can select multiple Mail messages, but how do I get all of them to open at once? (I actually do want all of them open; I'm not just trying to mark them as Read.) If I double-click on the multiple selection, the first click un-selects all but one message, which the second click opens. I assumed there'd be an Open in the Edit menu, or a Command-O, or an Open button for the Tool Bar, or an Open on a right-click menu or other special menu, but I can't see any of those. The closest I've come so far is Forward, which quotes them all in one reply, but that isn't really what I want. What am I missing?

How to do forward multiple mail

Hi all,
I want to write the forward multiple mail script,if we select multiple mails from apple mail and click forward button ,messages will come in to the same window as forward . the same scenario i want to do using apple script.If any one have idea to write this type of script please let me know.
I have done one script for forward mail as single message also i have done script for multi selected mails in different window.i dont know how to keep multiple mails as forward.

I apologize, but your scenario still does not make sense to me.
The user requests a URL, an XML page is returned to their browser, then immediately another XML page is returned to their browser?
Maybe try to explain in functional terms what you're trying to achieve rather than assuming that "forwarding" or refreshing is the solution. Stated this way, I still don't have an idea of what kind of application you're trying to build.

Unable to select multiple messages in Mail.

Hi,
I can't select multiple messages in Mail app. After selecting few, all of them automatically deselects. This is really annoying. I'm on 6.1.2 iP5, and this is happening from the begining. Never happened before on my iP4. The other problem with mail app is that it keeps opening my "first on the account list" e-mail account, and please don't tell me that this is normal since it never happened before. Sometimes when I try to open a random account I see a black screen
see an image below.
Please help me as this is driving me crazy.

to select all messages in the current mailbox you enter command+A. then use "apply rules" from the Message menu. you can also do it with just a few selected messages. select them, control-click on the selected messages and choose "apply rules".
Interesting interpretation of the OP's request.
I read the request as wanting to take one action that applied to many messages, rather than apply one rule many times.
For example, consider a rule that forwards the message to some other address. Selecting all messages and running the rule will generate multiple new messages - one per selected item.
that was my understanding of what the OP wanted. perhaps I'm wrong. let's wait for the OP to respond and clarify what he/she really wants.
Conversely, and how I interpreted the request, an AppleScript could collate all the selected messages and combine them into one new message - essentially running the 'forward' on many items at once.
I'll be interesting to see the OP's response to see which matches his requirements.

How do I select multiple contacts for an e-mail?

Using an iMac and wondering how to send an e-mail to multiple people in my contact list without having to open the contact list every time I select a name. It would be nice if I could just open the contact list and select multiple people for the same e-mail. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi there Kathy, The easiest way is Window (along the menu bar) > Address Pannel, then you can select multipul contacts and then click the "To:" Button in the top left of the window.
(Tip: You can use comand and click to select multipul at once, then click the "To:" button in the top left)

I can no longer select multiple addresses from my Mail address book when forwarding emails

Since updating to Mavericks I cannot select multiple addresses from my address book when forwarding emails.
I can select them individually using the + sign in the address bar but cannot select any when I open my Contact list as I have done with previous systems.
Additionly, the full address appears in the "To" window instead of just the name and without the email address. I have selected "Smart Address" from the Preferences menu, View section.
Help!

Why are you using a Hotmail or Live Mail SMTP server to send email with your Gmail account?
This is likely the cause of the problem. Use Gmail's authenticated SMTP server to send email with your Gmail account.

How to select multiple recipients in iPad mail

I have read that I can't create groups, but how to select multiple recipients in iPad mail?
I was looking for this when setting up for two new people who are going to have the iPad as their only device.. and they do need to email a bunch of people at once..
I was sending out the 'I have a new email address' BCC for them.
Thanks.

You can select multiple contacts by tapping on the + sign in the upper right corner in the To: field when you are typing a new email. Just keep tapping the + sign and your contacts will pop up in a window. Select the contact that you want to add, repeat the process in order to add as many recipients as you want.
There are other mail apps that let you creat groups and email to those groups.

I am sure there are other, but those are two that I know of.

In Mavericks Mail, I can't select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail. I don't want to hand select hundreds of e-mail addresses.

In Mavericks' new e-mail program, I cannot select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail without having to re-open the address book for every e-mail address I am opening. Please help.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

Dragging to select multiple messages in Mail 6.0 and OS 10.8

With recent software updates, there no longer seems to be a way to select multiple messages other than shift-click. I have always just dragged to select a number at once that I need to delete or move for one reason or another, which is much faster. what happened to the drag to select multiple messages in recent mail and OS 10.8 incarnations
Thanks

Attempt to drag a message and Mail instead selects multiple messages

I used to be able to quickly grab a message and drag it to a folder. Now I have to click and hold before the message is grabbed. If I try to do it quickly, Mail instead begins selecting the message I am trying to drag and continues autoscrolling and selecting all the messages below it.
I drag messages to folders far more often than I select multiple messages, so this is not a boost to my productivity. It breaks a pretty basic user interface convention too. I hope this change doesn't make its way into the Finder!
For the record: Overall I am VERY happy with Snow Leopard.

Hi Ernie,
Thanks for the reply. You're right (as was the original "helpful"-marked post) - dragging directly sideways does work to avoid changing the selection. However, I have a full vertical screen of message folders and my messages being dragged are almost always at the bottom (I don't use a preview pane), and I know for sure that I never had to drag sideways before dragging up before Snow Leopard.
The problem is even worse on Apple's 30" monitor, as you might imagine.
I simply need to be able to disable this undesired "multi-select mail items in the list with the mouse" functionality that (to my years of use) was never there in the past. I'm betting there is some preference setting I could put in, if only I knew what it was.
Thanks,
Doug

Mail can't Select All messages in this Conversation

For years I have used Cmd-Shift-K in Mail to select all messages in the same conversation. This particularly useful, for example, when reading replies to posts in Apple discussions. When I select a message, all the messages with the same topic appear in light blue and Cmd-Shift-K (or View->Select->All Messages in this Conversation) allowed me to select them all.
Since upgrading to Yosemite, the visual cues on the messages are still there (I have the box to "Highlight messages with color when not grouped") but the command to select them is greyed out, and Cmd-Shift-K just beeps in error.
Are other people seeing this?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.

How do I attach documents in an email message, as well as selecting multiple documents out of an app like Docs to Go?

I'd like to be able to attach a file while shooting an email on the Phone/Pad.
Conversely, is there a way to select multiple files out of say DocsToGo or the PDFs in your iBooks bookshelf to be mailed in a single email message?

Hi,
Check the code samples given in this [Article|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f86c9290-0201-0010-7a93-dda3716dc0d2].
