Closing open mail windows with one command

I get tons of email. Often I fail to close each one before opening another. Result? A dozen or more open emails. Is there a simple way to close them all at once?
thanks,
Tim

In many applications, holding the Option key causes the File > Close Window command to change to Close All Windows, but for some reason Mail doesn't do it.
What does work in Mail is holding down the Option key while clicking the red close button at the top left of any window. Problem is... it will actually close all windows...
Just type ⌘1 (Command-1) afterwards to open the Message Viewer window again. This is actually the command shortcut for selecting the Inbox mailbox (Mailbox > Go To > In), but it also opens the Message Viewer window if there are no message windows open -- yes, interestingly enough, ⌘1 doesn't work and beeps at you when the frontmost window is a message window, regardless of whether the Message Viewer window is open or not...
...and, yet more interesting, ⌘1 works again if you open Preferences in front of the message window that caused that command to beep before, but only if the Message Viewer is closed. On the other hand, if the Message Viewer is open, then typing ⌘1 does nothing when Preferences is the frontmost window, it does not even beep, although the menu title does blink as if Mail had actually executed the command (but it hasn't)...
...and don't worry if the last paragraph above just doesn't make sense to you, it can safely be ignored...

  • Closing all folders and subfolders within a window with one command

    In list view, is there a way to close all folders and subfolders within a window with one command, instead of having to close each individually?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, all, for your feedback, but no cigar, yet:
    - opening folders with "option" is possible but problematic
    - none of this solves the question of closing all the folders and subfolders within a window in one shot.
    Any better solution would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
    At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

  • My tabs are seperated into groups. Once I accidentaly opened a site in a new window (not a new tab). After that, I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now, I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

    I have my tabs seperated into several groups (for example, bank tabs, music tabs, social life tabs and so on). I do this with the help of the button in the top left corner. While I was surfing the internet, I accidentaly opened a site not in a new tab (as I usually do), but in a new window. The new window was without all the grouped tabs, which I had in the previous Firefox window. And then I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

  • I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
    You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
    The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
    For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

  • HT2486 Is there a way to open two windows with address book on my computer?

    Is there a way to open two windows with address book on my computer?

    Photoshop only has one Color Palette.  If you could script something  like a Color Palette with  two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog.  You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed.  Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.
    I do not know what is possible with Photoshop extensions using HTML 5 Panels.....

  • Source Safe causing LabVIEW Quick Start Screen to not appear after closing open vi windows?

    Hey All,
    We've recently implemented Source Safe version control for LabVIEW on XP and I've noticed that LabVIEW is hanging between closing open vi windows and showing the Quick Start Screen.  The usual pattern is for the Quick Start window to appear after the last open vi window is closed.  Instead the vi window is closed, the tab at the bottom of the screen says debug development and the Quick Start Screen does not appear, the tab does not read "Getting Started."
    I think it is a LabVIEW <--> Source Safe issue when I do a Task Manager Exit on the LabVIEW process that I sometimes see a dialog box asking if I want to save changes in memory to disc and those files are not checked out.  But it is too late at that point to do anything as XP clobbers the application before I can do anything.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    What LabVIEW version do you use?
    I have used SourceSafe in every version from 8.0, and in the way some bugs are resolved.

  • Hi, I want to open dialog window with ADF Faces

    Hi, I want to open dialog window with ADF Faces when commandButton pressed, but the window opended at same window, not opened new window.
    my command button is follow,
    <af:commandButton text="Ücret Girişi"
    binding="#{backing_rezervasyonlar.rez_iptal}"
    id="rez_iptal"
    action="dialog:ucret"
    windowHeight="200"

    I am waiting your help....

    Remove the partialSubmit attribute from the declaration of your command button. Therefore, the code you posted should be:
    <af:commandButton text="Ücret Girişi"
    binding="#{backing_rezervasyonlar.rez_iptal}"
    id="rez_iptal"
    action="dialog:ucret"
    useWindow="true"
    windowHeight="200"
    windowWidth="300"/> NOT:
    <af:commandButton text="Ücret Girişi"
    binding="#{backing_rezervasyonlar.rez_iptal}"
    id="rez_iptal"
    action="dialog:ucret"
    partialSubmit="true"
    useWindow="true"
    windowHeight="200"
    windowWidth="300"/> --RiC

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Print to two printers with one command?

    Is there a way to print the same document to two printers with one command? I'd like to have every document I print automatically saved as a PDF at the same time.

    That would be a good use of the PDF Services available in OS X. You can use PDF Services with AppleScript or an Automator workflow.

  • I am receiving a lot of pop-up ads on website pages. It has only recently started happening. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating and other things. They are annoying and I want them shut off. Please help me

    I have recently started seeing millions of pop-up ads on website pages. It is not something that normally happens. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating among other things. I am growing sick and tired of these ads, and have tried multiple things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled software, I have blocked pop-up ads and unenabled Java script. I have tried everything I could find, but nothing has worked. I have even downloaded AdBlock and Clean Genius. Nothing has even remotely changed this annoying trait. I hope this can be a quick fix I can perform and not something that will have to be done by a tech-hand. Please, if you know anything about this issue, let me know how to fix it.
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, you have installed malware by clicking on a pop up ad.

  • Photoshop crashes while using multiple windows with one image

    Has anyone else encountered the following problem:
    Photoshop CS4 crashes sooner or later when working with multiple windows with one image (window->arrange->new window for...).
    I remember having same problem since CS2. Is this a bug in Photoshop or am I having a bad luck?
    Technical specifics:
    Ps CS4, iMac, 21.5, 10.6

    Don't know.  I haven't heard of other people having that problem.
    Do you have a crash report I could look at?
    Or have you attached your email to crash reports sent to Adobe and can you tell me the date on one of them?
