Can smart folders see color of emails?

I have yet to upgrade to Leopard, and I have a specific question about Mail. In Tiger, I can assign a color to an email message, and I use this as a way to set categories for emails. However, smart mailboxes in Tiger cannot sort emails by their color. Do smart mailboxes in mail have this ability?
Thanks,
Jack

No, Leopard hasn't added that feature. Best you can do is create a rule that adds a color to specific emails based on your criteria, then have it move that email to another folder. But this won't be a Smart folder but an actual one that the email moves to and out of your inbox. And if you are adding the colors manually then you can't even do that unless there is a specific criteria that all red emails have that you can make a rule from.
There is a third party app called MailTags:
http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
That allows for all kinds of tagging and will then sort those tags into Smart folders. I haven't used it but I've had my eye on it. Just can't live with the $30 price tag. If it was $15 I'd have snapped it up.

  • Can Smart Folders include "all" or "any" criteria?

    Hi there everybody,
    A question for you all. When I create a smart folder it uses the criteria I choose and asumes that I want to find files/images, etc. that meet "all" of the criteria (for example Mail Smart mailboxes can be created that meet "any" criteria you choose, thereby broadening your search, instead of "all" criteria that limits your search).
    Since Finder's Smart Folders create a search based on "all" criteria, it limits my search, but I want to broaden my search to include other criteria (meets "any" of my chosen criteria, or meets this "or" that criteria). Can I do this with Smart Folders?
    Also, can I tell a Smart Folder to grab a Smart Mailbox and include it in my Smart Folder search?
    My ultimate goal is to use Tiger to create a project folder with contacts, calendars, emails and files associated together. Then there would be no need to worry about more software, worries of integration with iApps, etc.
    Thanks everybody. Hope this generates good discussion.

    No. Smart Folders are very simple by design.
    You will need to wait for a new version of the OS to allow that functionality or access the index with another tool to do more advanced boolean searches.

  • I am in my icloud, I can track my phone and see my Contacts, but there's no mail. Why can't I see my stored emails?

    I am in my icloud; I can track my phone and see my Contacts, but there's no emails. What am I doing wrong?

    Not sure we're speaking the same language (my fault), but let me try again:  I launched Firefox, logged into icloud.com and gone to the mail page to find no emails there.  We have a home wifi network, and our iPad and iPhone are synched with our home email on the home computer. In the iPad settings under iCloud I turned the email slider to "ON", and it uploaded the calendar and contacts to the iCloud, but not the email.
    And to answer your question above - I can't tell if we've moved the incoming emails to a local folder. Perhaps that happened when the email was set up (a long time ago). I just assumed that if it appears on the iPad, then it should appear on the iCloud.
    The iPhone settings would not let me slide the email slider to "ON": does that block the emails somehow?
    Thanks for any help or thoughts -

  • I can no longer see how many emails I have.  It used to have the number of how many were in each list at the top of the box that was open. How can I get this back?

    Also, it's hard to read the number of new emails in the list of accts, any way to fix this? I really dislike this visual change.

    Deleting the cache and cookies is not normally a major problem, things will rebuild as you use the computer.

  • Smart Folders - None/Any/All tests missing?

    I see that some of the 'canned' smart folders have the ability to say -
    'None/Any/All of the following are true'
    which is good and allows the standard 'Today' to exclude folders. However there seems to be nowhere in the Smart Folder setup GUI where mortals can generate these tests. I've clicked on 'Other' when looking for a test and there appears to be nothing obvious that might generate a set of nested tests.
    Am I missing something?
    Is this something that's died and the canned smart folders are essentially 'legacy'?
    Or is there some magic flag to turn on in com.apple.finder.plist to allow me to do this?

    You need the secret keyboard and mouse combo decoder ring....
    No, really, you do! When you bring up the Find window, notice that at the end of the criteria line there are the little bitty + and - buttons, to get the boolean options you hold the Option key and click on the appropriate button.

  • Smart folders for file server

    A while back I got very excited about Spotlight and created some Smart folders to display my PNG, PSD and FLA files that live on our file server.
    Problem is that that when I click on them, they take ages to load. I assume Spotlight is not indexing the file server. If that's the case, can Smart folders ever been of any practical use for me?

    Hi, Paul.
    Spotlight neither works nor plays well with server / network-attached / shared volumes. See my recent post here for details.
    Good luck!

  • HT1668 I am seeing "all" my emails including those that I deleted days, months, years ago in the "spotlight search" screen of my iPad and iPhone. All account trash folders are emptied. How to remove?

    Hello.. I'm seeing all my emails from all my accounts located in the "spotlight search" feature of my iPad and iPhone4. What's most troubling is, there are emails that have previously been deleted. I have confirmed over and over that all trash folders for accounts are emptied as well as all other folders.. I empty the trash very regularly. When I select an email from the list in the spotlight screen, it will take me to an in box for that email where it may or may not exist.. Often it opens another persons email all together.. The bottom line is that I can not delete these emails and it's very nerve racking... Any help is greatly appreciated. Than you..

    Thank Goodness for Time Machine.  I was able to restore from a recent back up.
    However as a follow up I now have a glitch in that Icloud email will only restore from oldest to newest.  My Icloud.com account is fine. All my email are in chronological order from newest to oldest. 
    With the help of support from this site I was able to confirm that the problem is not resolved by disabling mail and then enabling again or even from deleting the Icloud Email Account and then reloading.  It is exactly the same.
    The only way I can get yesterday's email on my devices is to load 5000 emails starting back in 2010.
    I think I caused a glitch when I was restoring from Time Machine.  It was late at night and it was taking a long time so I went to bed thinking it would just continue on.  Well i should have taken my computer out of Sleep Mode because my Imac must have powered down somehow causing the glitch. 
    Although you would think that I would also have a corrupted email account on Icloud.com
    who knows....... the reason why i tend to live with problems rather than correct them because i hate it when stuff like this happens when you do................

  • Can someone help re setting up sub-folders on a POP email account

    My email is through btinternet and I think it is a POP account (no expert on this sort of thing!). Is it possible to have sub-folders on a POP email account on your iPhone? Or is this only on IMAP? If I can't do it does anyone have any recommendations on which email provider is the best for the iPhone and is there anyway to map my old address to my new one?
    Sorry if being incredibly thick here!?
    PS. Am I right that on text messaging there is no way to forward texts that are sent to you (eg, jokes)?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I do not believe you can have subfolders on POP accounts. Exchange, IMAP, Gmail and Yahoo! do support it however. Gmail/Yahoo! is free so it's hard to beat that price!
    If they allow it, you may be able to setup email forwarding on your BT account. Log into the web-based version of the account and see if it is offered.
    As of right now, you are not able to forward text messages. Hopefully they'll add this soon.

  • Can't save Smart Folders

    Hi all,
    I saw an article online about Smart Folders and realized I've never used this feature! Unfortunately, it's not working for me.
    I selected New Smart Folder, and chose Kind->Any and Last Opened->Today. But, when I click Save and the save dialog appears, the whole window freezes and I have to relaunch the finder to get rid of the window.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, you can edit them even more easily using Property List Editor, if you have that installed.
    I tried making a smart folder with Activity Monitor running to see if I could spot anything interesting. All I noticed was that both Finder and Windowserver were more active as I created and saved a new one (and mds of course as the search was was done). So that wasn't very enlightening. The only other thing that occurs to me is perhaps something has gone wrong with the Saved Searches folder itself (it's in your home Library folder), since that is the default place to save to. I tried copying my folder to another drive, then trashed the original. When I relaunched the Finder and created a new Smart Folder the Finder had created a new Saved Searches folder. If that doesn't work either, you can trash your creation and put the original back.

    You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.
