Can I set a rule to move outgoing messages?

Hi all
Mail rules (Tiger) seem to only apply to incoming mail automatically. I want the mail in the Sent folder for a POP account to automatically move to a folder that belongs to an IMAP account (.mac), so I have access to those messages on all my computers. I know I can manually move the messages, and that you can manually apply a rule to selected messages, but I want it to happen whenever a message is sent from that account. Have I overlooked something obvious?
I suppose I could send everything from my .mac account and use the Reply-To field, but I'd have to choose that on a message-by-message basis. Too much mousing.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hi,
We are now on version 3.0 of the Mail application... I am using Leopard and have just checked out Mail.
I too want to be able to set a rule to move outgoing messages to the Mailbox of my preference.
We can do it in Entourage. We can do it in Eudora. Why, oh why, can't we do it in Mail? This is the reason I cannot switch to Mail. Why would anybody want to keep thousands of unorganized messages in the Sent Mailbox?
Or am I missing some hidden function of Mail that does something similar to this?
Anyone with experience using Mail have a suggestion?

  • How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?

    How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?
    When I look at some emails on my phone, I can see from the title that I don't need to read the email so I delete it without opening it. When I go to my Macbook Pro and open mail, the number of unread messages in my Trash shows next to the name. It drives me nuts. Can I just set a rule to mark all messages sent to trash as read? If that isn't possible, I'd take just making the number not show beside the Trash folder.

    Just in the case that I actually do need to go back to them for some reason. I have some OCD tendencies which is also why the number beside the folder drives me nuts.

  • How can I set a signature on my text messages?

    How can I set a signature on my text messages?

    I have iphone4, recently changed my phone number.  Prior to the change all of my outgoing sms showed my name and phone number.  Since I changed the number have not been able to show the new number on outgoing texts. So I don't understand why my number showed before but unable to add it now.....?
    I lost a lot of data when I changed the number so I performed a back-up restore, which restored the data I lost.  But now my text messages are showing my old phone number.....!!
    Any idea how I can change so the new number is displayed?
    I use texting a lot more than I do email with my phone. 

  • Can i set a rule to forward email to hpe print account ?redirectreason=notregistered

    Can i set a outlook rule to forward specific emails to an hpe print email address ?

    CSI,
         The spam filters on ePrint are pretty stringent.  Here is a list of things that will possibly cause ePrint jobs to be discarded as spam. 
    1. Blank subject lines
    2. "FW:" or random characters and numbers in the subject line. 
    3. Small graphics or URL links in the body.
    4. Photos that do not meet the 100 dpi resolution attached to the email. 
    5. Auto-signatures in the body of the email.  
          You can try and set a rule to forward to ePrint, however it may not work.  Your biggest enemy will be the 2nd one on the list above.  
    Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

  • When I apply a mail rule to move a message to a different mailbox, large attachments are unreadable

    I have a rule in Mail: Move messages that were sent to a particular accout, to a particular mailbox. It moves the message like it's supposed to but if there are attachments over about 1 MB the attachment is no longer there, and instead there's  a bunch of code in the body of the message. With smaller attachments, the message appears in the new mailbox with the file attached, just as expected. Anybody know what's up? Thanks, Bob

    You can't simply feed it some arbitrary script to execute, you have to write a handler that Mail can dispatch events to. This generally looks something like
    using terms from application "Mail"
    on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
    tell application "Mail"
    repeat with suspectMessage in theMessages
    --do something
    end repeat
    end tell

  • Setting Attachment limits for incoming & outgoing messages

    In the Netscape console for the Iplanet Messaging Server 5.1 there is an option
    under HTTP for maximum size limit for outgoing attachments. I would like to set a
    size limit for all incoming and outgoing messages to 4096 KB (4 MB). These would
    include connecting IMAP & POP3 clients as well. I found documentation in the
    Reference Manual under Absolute Message Size Limits (blocklimit, noblocklimit,
    linelimit, nolinelimit, sourceblocklimit). However, I am unsure if this is the right
    information I am looking for and if it is how to go about setting it. Can anyone
    help??

    that is the correct way to set the limits. You can control weather or not it applies to incoming or outgoing messages based on that channel you place the limit on.
    For example your clients sending mail out come in on the tcp_intranet channel. Messages from the internet come in on the tcp_local channel.
    To limit the attachemtns you accept from the internet you would place the restrictions on the tcp_local channel. To limit attachements from local users you'd place the restrictions on the tcp_intranet channel.

  • How can I set up Unity mailbox to deliver messages to email mailbox?

    Unity Newbie!  Where do I configure a voice mailbox to deliver messages to user's email mailbox?

    Andrea,
    The previous post simply alludes to the fact that Unity doesn't have a built-in mailstore - instead it relies on Exchange (or in some cases, Domino).  Unity can be set up in a Voicemail Only configuration or Unified Messaging configuration.  If you have Unity, AD, and Exchange installed all on one box then this is usually indicative of voicemail only.  In other words, your Unity server is also a domain controller and Exchange server in a standalone domain used just for itself.  When you create subscribers, an associated AD and Exchange account are created but within the domain associated with Unity (not the domain users log into so the users are only aware of the phone login credentials).  In Unified Messaging, your Unity would be a MEMBER of an existing AD domain and would integrate with a corporate Exchange server or cluster.  In this configuration, the account associated with a subscriber is the account they use everyday - in other words, their voicemail resides in their Exchange inbox that they connect to via Outlook.
    My guess is that you have voicemail only configuration today but are looking to do 1 of 3 things:
    1) Unified Messaging - voicemail is actually integrated with your corporate Exchange and all voicemails natively reside in the inbox
    2) Mail Relay - voicemail messages are relayed from the existing Unity to an email address configured for a user
    3) Integrated Messaging - user can configure an IMAP folder in their email client and have access to voicemail from within a separate mailbox in the client
    Which sounds like your requirement?  If you have more questions, just ask.

  • Can't set Poster Frame for Movies on site

    Hi - Any insight into this problem is much appreciated - I've built a simple site, a few pages have 2 or 3 compressed MPEG-4 movie files on the page (they are roughly 30MB each clip). I built the clips in FCP then exported them using Compressor and saved them as MPEG-4 files. I then dragged the files onto blank pages and built the site that way. I have set the Poster Frames for these clips in iWeb08, but after I publish the site the Poster Frames only save on a few files, most do not. Also, some of the clips stop playing mid-way through. Any simple fixes for this/these problem(s)? Thanks.

    Sorry to tell you so late in your life that you only have one job when it comes to moms and grand-moms. Give them what they want!
    Part of your "monicker" best describes the issue.
    You can edit your published pages using hundreds of tools but the are best edited with a plain text editing app like BBEdit (any plain text editor works).
    You can use Safari to view your page and even "save" the source code (Command-Option-U) and then "save as". Edit this new page to make your changes and drag it back into the appropriate Web older of your iDisk (replacing the older version).
    I did it to one of my pages to add a sound file to one of my slideshow pages:

    just because others said it couldn't be done.

  • Can't set media kind to movie

    I imported a video in to iTunes, and it came in as a movie. It's an educational video, so I thought it would be nice to set its media type to iTunes U. I did that, then clicked iTunes U in my left hand pane, and the video did not appear. I created a smart playlist where media kind = iTunes U, and there it was. So I figured I'd change it to Podcast. I changed it, and it didn't show up under Podcasts, (but again does appear under smart playlist). So I figured I'd change the media kind back to Movie, but now that media kind is no longer available from the dropdown list! My only choices are Music, Podcast, iTunes U, Audiobook, Voice Memo.
    How can I change the media kind to movie so it appears in my movies?

    Was the "Movie" option missing after you had changed it from "iTunes U" to "Podcast"?  I found it missing after originally changing the media kind to "iTunes U", but after changing it again to "Podcast", the "Movie" option became available again.

  • Setting Up RULES: Replying Using Colored Messages

    Hello,
    Is it possilbe, under Rules, to changed the senders Font to a different color when replying and mine will remain black? I've tried everything using Rules and I just can't figure this out. If the senders font color can't be changed, can I change my black font, for example, to a dark gray when replying?
    Thank you..

    When you reply to an email, the sender's font color should automatically change to blue (by default).  Check Mail/Preferences/Composing to make sure that Message Format is set to Rich Text.  Also check in Responding to make sure that Quote the text of the original message is checked.
    The  10.7.2 upgrade of Mail also makes it easy to change font color, along with some other Rich Text features.

  • How can I get Verizon to block all outgoing messages on my email?

    My email was apparently hacked, it is the main account that I have used for the past seven years and all of my bill notifications and important things come to this address.  I have changed the password repeatedly, run several scans on my main computer, laptop, kindle fire, and cell phone (every device I access the email on) using Norton and Norton Power Eraser on the computers.  Nothing showing up.  
    I chatted with support just now asking them to block all outgoing email and they said it isn't possible and I find that impossible to believe.  I am seeing all kinds of messages here saying that people are being blocked but I can't add an email address to that list?  I need to keep it active for inbound email for a month or so just to make sure that I haven't missed any bill notices or other important stuff.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Pretty hard to do without shutting down the account.
    Assuming you have properlly changed your password, and checked your PC and other devices for viruses/trojatns/etc. Then the person using your email is probably NOT even using Verizon.  \
    Unfortunately the basic SMTP protocol is totally different then most people think.  Who you say you are is not a protected value and you can say you are anyone, yes verizon's servers when initially accepting input do check, but that is about it.  And the displayed sender and addresses in the smtp protocol do not have to match any text in the mail. that you see.

  • How can I set up an out of office message?

    I use Macmail for my mac.com account and also to receive my business emails through another server.  I have tried to use rules to respond with an "out of office" message but it has not gone well.   The system responded to year old emails and flooded our email.  I have read on some support sites about setting up through the server but I do not understand.  I need a response that is not overly technical as I do not understand what I am reading if tech lingo is used...sorry but I try!
    Peyton

    You might want to check with your email service provider.  They often have this option built into their service.  For example, I have an email account with Verizon.  They have a "vacation" setting that when turned on will send an automatic reply for you.  Your incoming email is otherwise delivered normally.

  • In Firefox, can't attach files to Yahoo Mail outgoing messages. Yahoo Mail works fine in Internet Explorer though.

    Since yesterday, when I switched from Comcast to AT&T as my broadband internet connection, I have not been able to attach files to my Yahoo mail messages using Mozilla Firefox. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer, but my default browser is Firefox by choice. Is this a Yahoo issue or a Firefox issue? Can you help me resolve it?

    Not helpful. 'clearing Firefox's cache' is not helpful, since 'cache' doesn't show up in any of the Firefox pulldown menu choices (wasted time looking for that), and the plethora of things 'recent' and 'history' to choose to act on in these menus is also a possible waste of time, not to mention removing useful info for no reason.
    I, too, have had this problem 'intermittently' for many months, always involving the 'first' file to attach in a Yahoo! email, and I've always used this workaround OK: click on the filename showing as 'being attached' (while Yahoo's doohickey round spinner denoting 'in progress' whirls and whirls to no effect) and use "Remove File"; THEN, REPEAT 'attach file' task & it then works, if slowly. After that for the same email, attaching add'l files NEVER HAS A PROBLEM.
    SO, now today, without any software update yet (I've downloaded Firefox v.11 & will install shortly), at numerous attempts during the day, I CANNOT get the FIRST file to attach in a Yahoo! email. Simply, utterly, frustrating without any rhyme or reason. "Everything else, on plethora of sites, working fine."
    thanks.

  • How can I set my iPhone to show email messages sent from my desktop?

    Using iPhone 5, are there setting that I'm missing to allow me to see sent messages from my desktop Mac on my iPhone?

    So to be clear, when you are looking at the Mailboxes side bar, you are tapping through to the email address in the ACCOUNTS section (below INBOXES), then to the Sent folder. Correct?
    If yes, is there perhaps more than one Sent folder? Maybe one called Sent and another called Sent (IMAP) or something similar? Maybe take a look at that long list of folders to be sure you looking in the correct one.
    If that does't work, then do as I suggested and delete the account and add it again as new.
