Collapsed view: how to see "most recent unread message" instead of "first unread message" in a thread in Mail

Hey all,
I use the inbuilt Mail-software on my Macbook with Lion 10.7 and I constantly overlook new messages in a thread, as I organize by conversation and usually have all my threads in 'collapsed view'. For some reason Mail seems to prefer showing the 'first', i.e. the earliest unread message as the one message that I see in collapsed. If there are newer messages already in the thread, I don't see them, unless I un-collapse the thread. I find this really unintuitive and annoying, my inbox seems far more static than it really is.
Is there any way to change this and have Mail show me the most recent unread message as the message I see in collapsed view?
I appreciate any advice.
Thanks, Carl
PS: BTW, I have the same problem on my iPhone, double props to you if you can solve it for both Mail and iPhone!

  • How to see most recent posts per forum

    Hi, all;
    It seems to me that I'm not "getting" something about the organization of the forums. What I want to do is see the posts in each forum that I am interested in, most recent first. What I actually see when I go to each forum is "trending" discussions. When I go to Browse>Discussions, I can see that some of the most recent discussions aren't getting into the "Trending" category, but Browse>Discussions shows a jumbled mess of all forums.
    I'd like to help these people, but I fear their questions are falling through the cracks, since they're not "trendy" enough for me to be able to see them.  How can I see "recent" discussions instead of "trending" ones.
    Regards;
    Amy

  • Can't See Most Recent Episodes Without Subscribing?

    I'm experiencing a couple weird issues with my weekly podcast in iTunes, NF Show.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nf-show/id829116093?mt=2#
    1. When you go to the show page in iTunes, it shows ten episodes, but not the ten most recent episodes. Instead, the newest episode listed is from over a month ago. People are going to the page and claiming that iTunes doesn't have our last five episodes. Yet when I subscribe, I can see and get access to all the episodes. Is there any way to correct this so the iTunes show page actually shows the ten most recent episodes?
    2. Previously I posted this URL for people to get to the show on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nf-show/ But when you go there, you now get an error message stating the show isn't available in the U.S. That's really weird since the show is produced and hosted in the U.S., and the link worked before. Now, https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nf-show/id829116093?mt=2# seems to be the only way to get there. Any idea why?
    Thank you very much!

    Thanks so much for your insight, Roger. I've resigned myself to waiting to see if it will resolve itself, but now I seem to have an even worse problem that has developed: my podcast no longer seems to be "available in the U.S. store". When I do a search for it on Google, the URL for it now includes a "/ca/" for Canada, but that also doesn't work. Occasionally when trying to access it from the U.S. store, it says it's not available in that store but in another country's, and when I confirm to try retrieving it there... it also says not available.
    I'm not sure what changed to cause this issue. Strangely, I'm personally subscribed to the show in iTunes, and I'm still getting the latest episodes, but when I try to go to the show's information page from my subscription, it says it can't get there due to a "temporary problem." And now, I just updated my iTunes to the latest version and the subscription is blown away. Have you heard of something like this happening before, or any idea what's going on?

  • My husband and I did the most recent update. Now when we send messages to each other we also receive a duplicate of the message to ourself, what did we do wrong?

    Check to see if you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  If you are, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  (You can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.)

  • How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

    How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
    So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist.  That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

    Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

    How can I most quickly delete a large number of outlook messages from my iphone?

    Who is the email account provider?
    If the email account is an exchange or IMAP account that you access with Outlook on your computer, delete the email with Outlook which will remove the email from your iPhone.

    How long is a recent list stores in an iPhone in messages? I deleted a contact almost a year ago and it still comes up as a name and number and when you click on the I button, it says "delete from recent list"
    Hardly a recent number

    Yeah that info will certainly carry over form the backup, but once you delete it from recents, it shouldn't show up anymore.

  • Cannot see most recent files when attaching

    I've had this problem for a while. Currently using OS X Mavericks, 10.9.4 (latest version) and Mail 7.3 (also latest build).  Saved a file to Documents, then opened Mail and attempted to attach it. Finder window opens, but my most recent files viewed are "last 7 days," with "today" being completely missing. I can open the Finder independently, the files show, I can open the files, send the file as an attachment from the Finder itself. But for quite some time, I don't see my most recent files (like today's files) in Finder when first opening Mail and attempting to attach something from a new message or message reply. Very frustrating.
    Anyone know what's going on here? I've experienced this before, but this is the first I realized that it seems as if it only happens when I am searching for a file to attach, and not when I open the Finder directly. I know there are workarounds, but I would just like to be able to do this simple thing, and for the life of me, I cannot do it. Not sure how long this has been going on, but I think it was happening in Mavericks all along, I just didn't connect the dots.
    Thanks.

    I can't duplicate the issue. What type of file is it? Is it saved locally, in the cloud, external drive?

  • How to make most recent messages appear at the top of the list?

    I can not find a place in Mail preferences to make my messages in each mailbox ALWAYS appear with the most recent at the top of the list. They seem to revert to the reverse order, even though I laboriously change the order in each mailbox via clicking the top of the date column. I am using primarily .Mac addresses in IMAP format, and three computers. It seems that after I shut down, then restart the next day and my computers all sycn with .Mac, the order goes back to oldest first. How can I fix this? Thanks!

    Everytime i have used webmail, the view is always retained with my previous settings. In fact the .Mac web mail help menu says the same thing (see below)
    Therefore the last thing i would recommend is to simply reset safari (which will empty the cache), delete all your Mail plist files, and not turn .Mac sync on fully until all systems are sorting consistently on their own....
    (from the .mac help menu)
    ===================
    Sorting message lists
    When you use .Mac Mail on the web, you can sort your messages, drafts, and sent messages lists by their column headers. Sorting is helpful when you want to quickly locate specific emails or groups of emails, such as all messages received from a specific sender or all flagged messages.
    To sort a message list:
    If you're not already in .Mac Mail on the web, go to www.mac.com and click Mail (at the top of the page), and log in.
    Access a message list by opening a folder.
    Click any column header to sort the list by that parameter. Clicking the same column header again reverses the order in which the list is sorted.
    When you sort a message list, all email messages in the list are sorted, not just those showing on the current page.
    Column headers vary slightly by list. The Drafts list, for example, has no From column.
    After you have sorted a list, it retains that order until you re-sort it.

  • How to get most recent consecutive records with the same value

    Hi,
    Can someone please help me to solve my problem?
    Below is my table
    Prod_Code-----Purchase_date---Inv_number-------Inv_amt
    MS_AV16850------18/01/2005-----------6575947----------------7.93
    MS_AV16850------22/07/2005-----------7034012----------------51.82
    MS_AV16850------04/01/2006-----------8719618----------------51.82
    MS_AV16850------20/06/2006-----------9515864----------------104.69
    MS_AV16850------16/04/2007-----------10353759----------------189.29
    MS_AV16850------30/05/2007-----------10689899----------------189.29
    MS_AV16850------06/01/2008-----------1653821----------------65.49
    MS_AV16850------22/02/2009-----------10866311----------------189.29
    I want my query to show the rows that has most recent purchase dates with same amount in consecutive purchase date.
    So from the table above, the query should display:
    Prod_Code-----Purchase_date---Inv_number-------Inv_amt
    MS_AV16850------16/04/2007-----------10353759----------------189.29
    MS_AV16850------30/05/2007-----------10689899----------------189.29
    It should not get
    MS_AV16850------16/04/2007-----------10353759----------------189.29
    MS_AV16850------30/05/2007-----------10689899----------------189.29
    MS_AV16850------22/02/2009-----------10866311----------------189.29
    because inv_number 10866311 has a prvevious inv_amount of 65.49.
    and not get this
    MS_AV16850------22/07/2005-----------7034012----------------51.82
    MS_AV16850------04/01/2006-----------8719618----------------51.82
    because they are not the most recent purchase date even if they have the same inv_amount.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You're right; thanks for catching my mistake.
    I changed the WHERE clause of the main query (including subquery there) to deal with that situation:
    WITH     got_grp          AS
         SELECT      x.*
         ,      ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY      purchase_date )
                - ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  inv_amt
                                             ORDER BY         purchase_date )     AS grp
    --     ,      ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY      purchase_date )     AS r1
    --     ,        ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  inv_amt
    --                                         ORDER BY         purchase_date )     AS r2
         FROM     table_x     x
    SELECT     *     -- Or list all columns except grp
    FROM     got_grp
    WHERE     (inv_amt, grp)  IN  (
                               SELECT    MAX (inv_amt) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY MAX (purchase_date))
                        ,       MAX (MAX (grp))
                                FROM      got_grp
                                GROUP BY  grp
                                ,       inv_amt
                                HAVING    COUNT (*)     > 1
    ;Thanks, too, for posting the sample data. Apparantly, you're more interested in solving this problem than OP is.

    The r1 and r2 columns are not needed for the solution. You may want to display them, just to help see how the query works.

  • Iphoto not "seeing" most recent photos from my camera

    When I connect my camera to iphoto, it does not see the most recent 27 pictures. They are visible on my camera, but when prompted to import, iphoto only sees the previously imported photos and asks if I want to import duplicates. WTHeck?

    Launch Image Capture and see if it can recognize those photos and download them to a folder on the Desktop.
    What camera do you have and does it have a removable memory card?  If it does connect it to your Mac via a card reader (your iMac may have one in its side) and copy the photos from the card to a folder on the Desktop.  Once you have the photos there and can confirm that they can be read (user Preview to view them) put the memory card back in the camera and reformat it with the camera.  Take some test shots and try importing into iPhoto again.

  • How to determine most recent date from the date column of internal table

    Dear friends
    would you like to tell me. how i determine the most recently changed record by looking at date and time from internal table i am not supposed to sort the table by date and time... I must check date and time with other records date and time to determine which record is most recently changed...
    here the scenario is.
    id idnumber chdate chtime
    1 123456 20060606 135312
    2 123456 20060606 135900
    3 123456 20060606 132300
    4 123457 20060606 140000
    5 123457 20060606 142500
    in the above scenario i must keep in my mind that the most recently changed record is identical to its idnumber i can say that:
    the record should be fetched this way
    id idnumber chdate chtime
    3 123456 20060606 132300
    5 123457 20060606 142500
    because here the id 3 is the most recently changed in the idnumber 123456
    where id 5 is the most recently changed in the idnumber 123457
    please help me to determin how i am supposed to carry out this task any suggestion, code will be great help of mine.
    regards
    Naim

    After testing my suggestion above, I realized that it doesn't work because the delete adjacent actually will keep the first one and delete the rest.  I'm working with Srinivas's code a bit now,  I think it is almost what you want.  I am under the impression that you dont' want to HIGHest date/time, but just the last record of the sequence, if this is the case, then this code will help.  Here we will assign an index to each record per the idnumber, that way we can sort it and get the lastest record.

  • How to select Most recent record with rest of record in ascending order...?

    Dear Expert,
    I have one table called Tab1 & have a lot columns. For this schenario, i mentioned few of the columns.
    The columns are
    product_type varchar2(100),
    curr_date date (storing with time stamp),
    other1_cloumn varchar2(10),
    other2_cloumn varchar2(10)
    Now I want to display all the records in ascending order except most recent record for every product_type || Union all || Most recent records in ascending order in single query.
    For example...
    product_type curr_date date other1_cloumn other2_cloumn
    1, "10-May-2005 10:10:10", 10, 10
    1, "10-May-2005 10:10:11", 10, 10

  • How to query most recent rows based on datetimestamp

    Hi
    Using the query below I am generating an output of machines (facility_code) but at present I am getting the same machine reported several times due to there being more than one instance of that machine in the table. What differs these mulitple entries is the start date field so based on that field I wish to pull only the most recent entry for each facility code.

  • Grrrr. Restoring from backup. Doesn't see most recent backups as "complete"

    Terribly frustrating. Logic board went out on our newish mac mini. While it's in the shop I'm trying to restore the most recent backup to another external HD that I can startup from. The latest backup was completed moments before the mini crashed, but when I go to restore, it shows the most recent "complete" backup was done back in January. What!!! I have been able to get at the important files I need through the Finder, but that's not going to cut it. I want a complete restore of the system.
    1) What Time Machine settings did I have wrong that could have caused this?
    2) What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
    3) Am I going to be able to get into my latest backup?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi, and welcome to the forums. (Not the best way to start, is it?)
    Very carefully, look at the most recent backup folder on the TM disk (don't change or delete anything).
    As you probably know, it's inside the folder that has the same name as the computer it's from, and should be at the bottom.
    It should be named with the date and time. If it has ".inProgress" at the end, it means it's not complete; TM hadn't quite finished with it. If so, you can't do anything with it.
    It's also possible the disk was corrupted when the logic board blew. If OSX didn't get a chance to "close it out" properly (via the normal eject process), there's no telling what happened.
    I'd start with a +Repair Disk+ (and maybe even +Repair Permissions+ ). That might help.
    And you should be able to browse the backups from another Mac running Leopard, via the (badly named) +Browse Other Time Machine Disks+ option. That's available either while holding down the Option key while selecting the TM icon in your menubar, or control-clicking (right-clicking) the TM icon in the Dock. This won't show any ".inProgress" files either.
