Colored flags in mail

Hello - does anyone know if I can use additional colors for flags in my mail? The only flag I see is the option to use the orange one. When I used to use Outlook I had 6 colors to flag with and liked using different color coded flags for different emails in my inbox.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks - Maureen

  • Do the colored flags/ categories in mail transition between mobile devices?

    Do the colored flags/ categories in mail transition between mobile devices? I haven't seen anything that seems like it would allow me to flag different mail items on my iphone to reflect the colored flags in mail that I have categorized on my iMac. I find that I have to go through twice to categorize my flagged mail with the colors I've designated on my iMac if it's flagged from my iPhone.
    Thanks.

    I had the same issue, but with a macbook pro, imac, ipad and iphone 4G.
    everything worked fine until the addition of the iPhone 4G which made disappear mails that had been donwloaded/synced by the iphone and/or ipad.
    However I found a solution:
    In mail right click (ctrl left click) on the specific IMAP account inbox and select rebuilt.

  • Snow Leopard Mail color flags

    I am trying to to change the color of flags in Mail (Snow Leopard-OS10.6.8).
    I keep searching but regardless of my search specs (OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) I keep getting results for Lion or above.
    In one search result someone posted a screen shot showing a drop-down menu next to the flag icon in Mail toolbar. When I go to Customize Toolbar, I do not see any drop-down for the Flag icon. I did try the Colors icon but that is not the same and does not seem to effect the flag icon.
    My question is: can I change the colors of the flag icon (*in Snow Leopard)?
    Can I make different messages have different colored flags?
    Does that drop-down menu I saw exist? Again, in Snow Leopard?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    The multi colour flag option is not available for Snow leopard.   No drop down menu for flag exists in Snow Leopard.    What does exist by right clicking on the flag are the options of Icon, Icon and Text and Text only.   And that then applies to the whole menu bar.

    Download Thunderbird.  Easier to use when it comes to what you want to do w/your emails.

    When you use OWA in something other than IE, you're using OWA lite and no--it is not possible to do either in OWA lite (well, new Exchange stuff makes my answer a little less emphatic but still: pretty much no). Thanks Microsoft. But this guy made it possible to mark unread/read and select all/none:

  • Flags in Mail vs Outlook Flags

    With the new Mail in Lion, I can flag my mail to be followed up, however there is no tick like in outlook to tick off a mail once it has been delt with. You can highlight mail that has been read or not, but i would still like to see a tick that i dont go back to the same old mail and read it again. Is there a solution for this?

    n the support document at the link below, overstuffing is discussed, and you can assume the 2 GB limit applies equally to Leopard and Mail 3.x.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25812
    The limit of 2 GB applies only to each mailbox, and not overall. In Mail, a mailbox is the basic level of folder, whether a standard mailbox such as Inbox, or one you create for archival purposes. My Mail folder and all mailboxes exceed 8 GB on both a Mac running Leopard and another Mac running Tiger - no issues on either.

  • How do I label flags in mail

    How do I label and change the labels on Flags in mail and elsewhere

    Howdy Tchumbley,
    It sounds like you have some flags you would like to rename. Take a look at this info from the article named:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Flag messages for action
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11748
    To change the name of a flag, double-click it and then type a new name. For example, double-click Red, and then type Urgent.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Importing files that have been color-flagged in MAC Finder

    I just started at a big company's design department, and I'm taking over a large editing project in midstream. My predecessor edited hundreds of files by going thru them in the Finder and marking the files directly using the "Label" function, so that the files appear flagged by color in the Finder. (ACK!)
    Is there a way to import the files into LR4 that turns their current color label into a color flag within LR?

    Sean,
    By update, you mean I will have to regenerate new ones with ACR 3.7? I assume also I could wait for ACR 4/CS 3 and do it then as well

  • Color In "Junk" Mail (Version 3.6)

    Select a junkmail in the messagelist and go to menu - Format/Show colors, and selct your 'favorite' color 
    EDIT: Actually, this don't work. It don't stick. New junk dont' get the same color ... hmmm.

  • Mail: Have an email that when I try to delete I get rotating colored circle and mail locks up?

    For the first time, I have received an email from known source and when I go to delete it I get a rotating colored circle and mail locks up. To get out I have to force quit.
    I have an iMac running Lion.
    Any idea of what may be going on here?

    Hello,
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions,  then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then try deleting it in Safe Mode.

  • Color code e-mails on ipad mail?

    I am looking for a way or an app to use which I can color code my emails within the mail program on my iPad. On my Mac, I am able to color code specific emails depending on what they are regarding. I am looking to do this on my ipad and I have looked everywhere and can not seem to find this. I know there is a way to just mark it in the "red flag" color, but I was wondering if there was a way to mark it in the colors that are on the Mac. Anyone????

    Hi USERMD,
    I know this is not what you are looking for, but the iPad mail is rather limited, as you know. I have set up separate folders (and I have a lot of them now), to sort my mail into the groupings that they are regarding. As I get the mail, I read it, and them immediately move it into it's appropriate folder.
    Don't know if that will help at all, but it's the best way I was able to find to keep them organized and easy to find for specific topics.
    Cheers,

  • How to get rid of flag in mail

    I downloaded the new Lion, and mail has this new fonction of flag.  But it put a flag on all messages and it take 4 step to delete a message now.  How do I get rid of this fonction.  Basicaly I don't want any flag ever!!!!!

    Use PreparedSatement class,
    e.g.
    // Where the name field is defined as char, i.e. needs quotes in SQL.
    String sql = "select * from person where name = ? ";
    PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareSatement(sql);
    statement.setString(1, "Bob");
    statement.executeQuery();
    This will get rid of hardcoding db vendor dependant quotes in your sql,
    Hope this helped.

  • Unable to clear flags in Mail using Exchange 2010

    I am able to flag messages without a problem, but when I try to turn those flags off within a few moments it will sync them back to "flagged."  I basically cannot unflag a flagged message.  Connected to an Exchange 2010 server.  Not having any problems getting or syncing mail.  Activity window is clear and nothing is queued up.
    I see "changing flags" pop up really quick in the Activity window but as soon as it sync's back up with Exchange those flags come right back.
    Help!

    I've found a solution that works for me, although it's a little technical.
    I found that the Envelope Index file in Home/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/ is actually a sqlite3 database.
    the steps I followed were:
    Quit Mail (don't know if this is necessary)
    Open Terminal, and cd to ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/
    open the sqlite db using the sqlite3 command line client:
    $> sqlite3 Envelope\ Index
    Now, in the sqlite3 command shell I queried the messages table to see which messages were flagged:
    sqlite> select * from messages where flagged = '1';
    I verified that the one message I couldn't clear was in the result set and then I updated the database and cleared the flag:
    sqlite> update messages set flagged = '0' where flagged = '1';
    Re-start Mail, and voila - flagged messages gone.
    Note: to selectively clear the flags from only certain messages would probably require a more advanced update statement that included some join in the where clause.

  • How to set default color to e-mail

    I want to set a default color for all e-mail messages and although I have tried to set the color it doesn't seem to work ... second day with a mac, so speak slowly.
    Also want to set up a signature with the name in one color and address and contact info a different color. I went into mail>preferences>signatures and was able to change font on different lines of signature ... but when I tried to apply colors, it didn't work
    Thanks very much in advance for your assistance, halboye

    that's not possible. you'll have to do it for every message individually.

    that's possible. while editing a signature go to Format menu->show fonts. in the popup click on T with a green rectangle next to it. that's the button for font color. you'll get yet another popup for color. highlight some text in the signature and click on the color you want.
    Thanks very much in advance for your assistance, halboye

  • How to change color default in Mail

    I have Apple Care and called and spoke at length to tech support. I know how to set the font default but cannot figure out how to change the color default. Tech support didn't know either. I've read "The Missing Manual", gone to Mail, Preferences, Colors and can't seem to perform what should be a relatively simple task.
    Thank you.

    Come on guys, this has got to be a common request.
    Yes, it has been discussed here for years now. Mail has never had default settings for font face, font size, or color. You can use custom stationery or begin your text in the first line of a signature which has the style you want. For some people it who really need this feature it makes sense to use Entourage or Thunderbird instead. To ask Apple to add these in 10.7, you can go here:
