Click/Drag multiple emails?

How do you click/drag multiple emails in Mail.app in Mountain Lion?
In Lion I used to be able to click and drag, highliting multiple emails to be able to drag to trash - I can't seem to get that function to work in Mountain Lion.

Thanks for the tip!
On my new MacBook Pro, doing this from the trackpad is taking some practice. First, in Apple Menu/System Preferences/Trackpad/Point & Click, I have Tap to Click and Three finger drag truned on.
To multiple select email, I first move the pointer to the first email and then quickly one-finger tap and then three-finger touch, hold and drag. Fiddley, but least it works.
In the last version of Mail I used (V 3.6 under 10.5.8 on a PPC laptop) click-draging verticaly did a multiple select, while click-dragging horizontally did a move. I never found any documentation for this, nor any other place in the mac user interface which made this distinction. It took me a long time to figure out what was going on, but that is how it worked, and once I realized this, it was very handy.

After I updated to 10.8.5 I can't drag multiple emails to a mailbox. Help!

Can anyone help me with selecting a block of emails and dragging them to a mailbox? This feature seems to have disappeared globally on my Mac with my update to Mountain Lion.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

After installing Maverick I can no longer highlight multiple emails the same way in orden out my mailbox I highlight a message,hold down my mouse and drag my cursor to highlight more messages. I click "delete" & they go to trash. How do I do this again?

After installing Maverick on my 2011 MacBookPro I can no longer highlight multiple emails in the same manner. To clean out my Inbox I highlighted a message, held my mouse down & dragged my cursor down through all the messages I wanted to delete (or move to another mailbox, or other functions) highlighting as many messages as I wanted. I then clicked "delete" & they went to trash. Such a great way to clean out a lot of messages at once. Can I and/or how do I do this again? Or is this something Maverick has eliminated? I also hate that "Notes" is no longer on the Mail page, but this is not as important. Help!!

Put differenltly, if I can drag select multiple items and objects on my desktop, which I can, using my Kensington Track Ball (which has an enabled updated software driver in place, so I don't think there's a problem there), why can't I click-drag-multipleselect emails in mail like I have *always* been able to? Really, what is the problem here? Why is that no longer possibler? I'm not a coder, but I can't believe this isn't fixable. Here, Apple should be ashamed of itself, regardless of the fact that there's an easy work around. When I have to alter the way I have been doing something for years and have to waste time learning something new and complaining about it -- like right now! -- and there's no good technical reason, and I bet there isn't, then Apple has simply failed.

How do you drag and drop/move multiple emails from the inbox or mail archive folder to a file folder in your finder?

I would like to archive hundreds of my emails that currently exist in my apple mail email filing system by moving them into file folders in the finder. I can do this easily with a single email but it wont let me do it with multiple emails or a complete folder. Is there any way of do this easily?

Thanks very much for this. However, I understand how dragging and dropping files normally works. It just seems the it wont work when you do it with emails when you are transfering them into a normal finder system folder. If you highlight one file and drag it to a finder folder it works, but when you drag multiple, it just wont let you do it.
Is there any work around for this? Thank you once again for your time.

Mail requires multiple "get mail" clicks to download email

One click of "get mail" and the script appears to fire, but no emails are downloaded
A second click and the emails start to arrive.
But it sometimes takes another click to make sure all the available emails are downloaded from the server.
solutions, anyone?
thank you!

I have 4 accounts running, 2 POP and 2 IMAP, after doing some checking today with a mac engineer online, it appears that it is incoming mail only affected and only on the POP accounts. I had previously tried recreating the accounts but as from today even just quitting Mail and reopening no longer works... the engineer has had to exculate my call to a specialist who in turn has now had to send it off to a specialist team to work on. When I get results, I will post them in case it helps someone else.

Deleting emails. I delete emails but they keep reappearing. Also is there a way i can delete multiple emails instead of having to click on each one individually?

I delete emails but they keep reappearing as unread.also how can i delete multiple emails without having to do them one at a time?

Delete the mail account from the iPod and reenter the settings.

Linking multiple emails to a single event in ical and/or to do's

Hi:
Often I receive emails and I want to link them to an event in ical. OS X does this just fine as long as there is date in the email that OS X can recognize. The problem is sometimes I get multiple emails relating to the same event and I would like to be able to link all of those emails to one single event in ical. My same questions applies to 'to do' items.
And a follow up question--say I receive an email that has no date explicit in the text-I've tried to find some function that would allow me to schedule a new event in ical and would link that email to it. (I hope that all makes sense) I'm open to whatever solution I'll even pay money for 3rd party software if anyone knows of a good program. But I"m looking to stick to the basic ical interface. Any suggestions?

Hi rtwigg,
seems this is one of visio graphics limitation regarding the external data.
visio graphics, may only support for one row.
you may consider this idea :
"It is a good idea to separate your rows into visual units so that you have everything you need and nothing else in a single row. To link a shape to a data row, simply drag the row from the external data window and drop it on the shape. A default data
graphic should immediately appear next to the shape displaying some data from the row. From here you are able to customize the graphic to fit your needs"
by means, you may need to use the visio client.

How can I import multiple email addresses in cc field of MAIL email into Address Book or Contacts?

Hello...Mail and Address Book used to have a great feature where when you received an email (in Mac MAIL program), if there were multiple emails I'm the "to" or "cc" fields, you could select them all as a batch and drag them into Address Book and it would add them all to Address Book. Now it doesn't seem to let you do it as a batch...you have to click each email address and select "add to address book".
Does anyone know of a workaround, or an AppleScript, or third party app that would allow users to add email addresses to AB in a batch from a MAIL email?
Thanks!

Try this.. Click the first in the CC field hold Shift, Click the Second Third, Fouth, Fifth and so on... click right Mouse select add to Contacts.

Printing multiple emails in order, using Mail 6.1 on Mountain Lion

In Mail 6.1 on Mountain Lion, when multiple emails are selected, then printed, they no longer print in the order that they arrived in the mailbox (as they did on previous versions of Mail).
Does anyone know how to order these correctly?

I was (ok, still am) frustrated by the same issue.
IF you are running MtnLion (not sure about Lion, but won't work for SL) you can do the following to create TXT or RTF output in the right order
Create a new mail message (yes, just a blank message).
Go to you main Mail window, navigate to the folder(s) which contain the message you want to group together. Select the messages you want to group.
Now go back to your blank message by simply clicking on that window.
Go to menu and click on Edit-->Append Selected Messages
All of you selected messages now are included in the blank message you were composing.
As a refinement, you can select all, and then reduce the "Decrease" the Quote Level (see Format menu).
Then save your draft and close it.
OK, it get's a bit quirky here. You can't do a "SaveAs" with anything in your Draft Folder. So to SaveAs, you must drag the message to another mailbox folder. Just make a TEMP folder and drag it there. Once there, you can SaveAS to (raw, txt or rtf), and the message will show up in the outfile in the correct order.

VIP selection will not work on contact with multiple email addresses

Trying to add more people to my VIP list. When selecting a name that has multiple email addresses, I select the address I want added and selection will not "stick" or accept that contact to VIP list.
Help?

Hiya!
Well first off... I'm baffled that you succeeded in setting up personal email without a data plan.
You need a data plan to access the BIS network which allows you web browsing (off wifi), email, BBM and the like.

How do I access multiple email accounts

I just got my Bionic a few days ago and have set up multiple email accounts (work, gmail, yahoo). When I click the "email" icon only one account appears. I can't seem to find the inbox, etc for any of the other accounts. The only time I can find those messages is when a new message comes in and I get notified of it. Then I can catch the other messages.
How do I access the inboxes for all the accounts? This must be obvious but i'm missing it.

Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature.

Multiple email addresses for one Apple ID?

Hello,
I'm wondering how to add more than one email address to my Apple (ID) account.
The main reason is because when I login to FaceTime with my Apple ID (email address), it then asks me which email I wish to use with FaceTime.
Well, obviously I'm only given one choice (my Apple ID which is an email address)... so I'm curious how I can add multiple emails to one Apple ID account.
This seems to be possible since after I login to FaceTime, it's asking me which email address to use (and only one email, my Apple ID, is presented as an option, since I don't know how to add another email to the same account).
I do not wish to create another Apple ID.
Thanks!

(1) Use the FaceTime > Preferences menu command.
(2) If you see the words "Preferences" and "Accounts" at the top right of the FaceTime window,
click on "Preferences".
You should see the words "Preferences" and "Done" at the top right of the FaceTime window.
(2) Click on "*Add Another Email...*" and enter the "multiple" email.

If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

Simple answer:
do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
OR
in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
click on 'Edit'
deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
So the details are wrong and cannot send.

Can i send to multiple email addresses for the same contact

I coach a baseball team and I want to create contacts under the kids' names with email addresses for both parents listed. Can I send email to multiple email addresses listed inside the same contact? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

You can do it individually, but it can also be done with Groups in Contacts, but you will need to create two or more groups. Once you have created the Groups in Contacts, drag the contacts that have multiple email addresses into each group. Then, select Edit Distribution List… from the Edit menu in Contacts.
For each group, select one address or the other for each contact. Do the same for the other group.
When you address an email, add both Groups to the address field in Mail.

I have multiple emails, how do I add different signatures for each email address

I have multiple emails for different companies I work for, how do I add a different signature for each one, it seems like I have to use the same one for all of them

Thanks. I think I'm on the right track. I added the email address to my contacts and double clicked the image icon to change it, but it only lets me snap a new picture or select an image from another location. What is the folder location of the stock icons that come with Mac OSX?
