Can I set up e-mail to automatically download attached files from a trusted source

can I set up e-mail to automatically download attached files from a trusted source to a desktop folder?  Can't find the option (if one exists) in "Rules."

Have you checked Mail > Preferences > General > Downloads folder - change that to desktop. That should do it (that is my setting and it works here).

  • Can I set my Macbook to open automatically all video files with VLC?

    I have some movies that I have download and they automatically open with quick time. But then the message error comes about because it can not open it!
    Now my question is can i set the computer to open all Video with VLC?
    I have a macbook Mac OX Lion 10.7.
    Thank you

    Choose any one of the files you want to have opened by VLC by clicking once on it (highlight it, don't open it).
    Right/control click on it and choose Get info. Or press -i
    In the Info dialog box, select the pop up menu under "Open with:"
    Choose VLC from the list.
    Click the "Change all" button just below. You may need to confirm this.
    That should do it.

  • How can I set up Apple Mail to display the sender's "from icon" in the header info?

    Hi,
    I have gone into the preferences to set up custom headers, so that the icon sent to me from the email sender will display in the header, but do not see an option for this.  I want to do this for Comcast as a source specifically, as they embed an icon in their official emails and I have been receiving phishing  emails from sender pretending to be Comcast.  Comcast states on their website, that you can see their icon in any mail they send, however, this does not happen on my version of Apple Mail (4.5).
    Here is an image of the info shown on the Comcast website, in case that helps to clarify my question.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    On the Internet Accounts System prefs choose Add Other account…
    Pick Mail account.
    On the first page where you enter username and password, hold down the Option key and the Create button will change to Next. Click that with Option held down.
    You can then manually create the account.

  • How do I set up my mail to automatically reply that we are on holiday?

    How do I set up my mail to automatically reply that we are on holiday?

    From Mail Help:
    You can create a rule to have Mail automatically reply to incoming messages. For example, you can set up a rule that’s triggered by a specific subject so that Mail replies automatically to all messages with that subject.
    This feature is useful if you receive a lot of similar messages from an online form on a website, and you want to reply automatically.
    To automatically reply to messages:
    Choose Mail > Preferences and click Rules.
    Click Add Rule and type a descriptive name for the rule.
    Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a message.
    From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose “Reply to Message.”
    Click “Reply message text” and enter the text for your reply message.
    Mail will include the text you enter, along with the full text of the original message, in the message that it sends.
    Mail must be running to automatically reply to messages, because rules aren’t processed while your computer is shut down or you’re logged out. To set up automatic replies while you’re on vacation, ask your email service provider how to set up an out-of-office reply.
    Carefully consider the rules you create for sending automated replies. If they’re too broad, you can send messages inadvertently or create message loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rule.
    After a rule has processed a message, the message’s status icon changes to a gray arrow to indicate a reply was sent.

  • Mail is automatically downloading from our Earthlink POP account even though the account is set to "manual."

    We have a new MacBook Pro with Mavericks. The mail is automatically downloading from our Earthlink POP account even though the account is set to "manual."
    Is there another way to stop Mail from automatically downloading? Is there another setting in Notifications or some other place I'm missing?
    (We'd rather check for spam and delete online where we can just check off boxes and hit delete than download and then have to look at each message to delete.)
    Many thanks!

    You can put an account into Offline mode by clicking on the account and selecting " Take "EarthLink" Offline"

  • How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim files ?

    How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim the two files to size when fading between them? Thanks

    Hi, thanks for the reply. What I meant was that in Pro Tools, you can highlight an area between two tracks and crossfade. Then the files are exactly trimmed automatically so there is no excess overlap of the edges of both files. In Logic it seems to leave the overlap, and this can be a problem when you accidently click the wrong place and the underlying file is bought to the front, changing the crossfade area. I wish it to trim the excess so there is no danger of the lower file edges coming forward.

  • I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application

    I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application. Is there a way to stop that? I can't find it in preferences. I have Check for new messages: Manually.
    Also, don't want Mail to automatically download on my iPhone 4S and iPad 3.
    Thanks

    Hi ctconnor;
    Since there are no virus for OS X, I seriously doubt that is what is causing your problem here.
    My suggestion open System Preferences then Accounts followed by Login Items. Once there deselect Microsnot Word.

  • How do I set my iPhone photos to automatically download to my Mac?

    I'm running OS 10.5.8 and want to set Image Capture to automatically download my photos from my iPhone when I plug it in. I know this is possible with Image Capture running on OS 10.6, but I can't upgrade since my processor isn't an Intel. I would write a script in Automator to do it but I don't know how! Thanks!
