Creating folders for "To Do" in mac mail

How do I create folders for "To Do's" in mail? I have multiple "To Do's" and they can get a bit confusing and difficult to shuffle through. I can't for the life of me figure out how to place them into folders. I can place individual "Notes" into folders but not "To Do's"

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
As far as I know you can't move To Do's to different folders. Nevertheless, where a specific To Do is stored depends on where you've created it. If you are using an IMAP email-account and have it selected in the sidebar of Apple Mail when clicking on the To Do button of Mail, the To Do will be created and stored in the folder "Apple Mail To Do" on the server. Note that at the same time a calendar, labeled after your account, will be created in iCal.

  • How To Add Additional Fields When Creating New Contact From w/in Mac Mail?

    Hi there. When in Mac Mail and clicking on contact information provided within an email, we are able to either (1) CREATE NEW CONTACT or (2) ADD TO EXISTING CONTACT (by clicking on the arrow next to a phone number, address, etc.). If I choose "Create New Contact," how can I add additional fields BEFORE clicking on "Add to Address Book" button in lower right corner? Let's say, for example, I know this new contacts URL or company. (Currently, I am creating the new contact from within Mac Mail and then going to Address Book and finding the contact, then editing, the adding the additional fields, then saving, and then going back to Mac Mail. This all takes time.)
    Note: When creating a new iCal event from within Mac Mail, we can click on Option/Alt key when selecting drop-down arrow...and this will allow us to add additional information. The same feature isn't available for address book???

    I have the exact same question and problem. If there was a way to automatically open the AB entry after "creating new contact" this would solve it.
    Thanks for any suggestion

  • Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 %

    Hi hello
    Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 % ?
    Thanks for your reply

    You can create a mailing list by using the "Groups" feature of Address Book. Simply select "New Group" from the File menu. Name the group, and drag the contacts you need into the group.
    In Mail, open up Preferences (under the Mail menu), and click on "Composing". Then make sure that "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" is unchecked.
    The auto reply is a feature that is better done on your mail server, as you Mac can only send an auto reply when it is on, with the Mail application open. If you use dot Mac, you can set up a vacation responder through the web, and you can leave your computer switched off.
    If you really want to leave your Mac on when you are on holiday, you can set up a mail rule (Preferences, Rules).

  • Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

    Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing.  They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

    How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
    In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera.  If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
    If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac,  follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.)  On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted.  If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
    It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
    It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
    Here are some more ideas you can consider:
    Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be.  They may be visible there now.
    If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used.  Spotlight may give you a list of places to look.  If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images.  My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types. 
    You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search.  The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility"  choice.
    debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
    If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
    If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large.  For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks.  Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
    If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
    debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
    I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
    I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7).  You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
    debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
    I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files.  If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images.  However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
    You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied.  To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
    debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
    You're most welcome.
    If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

  • Create folders for other users

    I have a process that automatically generates folders based on events in the database using Advanced Queues. This process will work if I am creating folders for the user I am currently connected as.
    What I can't seem to do is use the system admin account to create folders in other users home folders. I get insufficient privilege errors when I use findPublicObject to return the users home directory. This seems to happen because the users home folder has a private ACL, it works if I make the home folder public but I don't really want to do that.
    Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Sure, here are two suggestions.
    1. If you want to create the folders in response to the AQ messages, and you want to do so independently of your application's normal security policies, you can use the system admin user to perform the operations, as long as you enable administration mode. Use LibrarySession.setAdministrationMode(true) to do this. Security will be bypassed until you turn this mode off.
    2. If you want to make the changes within the concept of your application security model, then modify the model so that your system admin user has access to everything that it needs to be able to update or delete. You can do this by modifying the ACLs on the objects in question.

  • How do I create folders for variuos apps i.e health, news etc.

    How do I create folders for variuos apps i.e health, news, sports etc.

    Tap and hold down on an app con until it begins to "wiggle", then drag one app icon on top of another app icon to create the folder. Move as many apps as you like into that folder. When you are done, tap the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
    You can also name the folder whatever you want to in the white text field that will pop up when the folder is created.

  • Unable to create folders for apps on springboard

    I was successful at creating folders for one of my sons on his Ipod Touch, but my other son's Ipod won't allow me to do it. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on or off or what? With my sucessful situation, I simply held my finger on one of the apps on the springboard until they all got wiggly, and, therefore, moveable. I drag one app on top of another and was able to create a folder for the 2 (i.e., zombie games). I did the same thing on my other son's Ipod and the apps would not go on top of each other, would simply replace each other in the order they were on the springboard. I hope someone can help...

  • HT2470 Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder, if I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder

    Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder? 
    If I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder.  This gets especially annoying because if I tell Itunes to store my "media" in my user/music folder, Itunes will then create a folder named "music" in my "music" folder and will also create additional folders in my user/music folder location to store other non-music media in as well. It is very annoying to see this lack of affinity for folders between two Apple created programs.

  • I can no longer create folders for my bookmarks?

    Mac OS 10.6.8 - FF 8.0.1
    I have tried to create an additional folder for my bookmarked items and there seems to be no way to do so. Also there seems to be many changes that were unnecessary. Change just for the sake of change is not good without improvements.

    Thanks Cor-el,
    Who would have ever guessed? Why in the world do they change things up in such a state of confusion. I already have sidebars showing but who knew that is now where you create folders. I have easily created at least 70 folders in the past. It was so easy to go to the BOOKMARKS menu and select SHOW ALL BOOKMARKS which then showed BOOKMARKS MENU where you could edit or organize bookmarks including creating new folders.
    That worked so someone thought ‘oh no’ we must change so my name will be on the change. I have been 6 months without being able to create bookmark folders.
    Holding the 'cntrl' key down was a 'guess where we put it situation'.
    Change is not good if there is no benefit to the change like maybe ‘more efficiency’.
    Ease of use and simplicity are the keys to success.
    Come on guys stay with what works.

  • Trying for months: Issues accessing .Mac mail from desktop Mail app

    I have a few Macs (eMac, iMac G5, 2-iMac G3s...). User since 85.
    I signed up for .Mac family pack. Gave email accounts to my family members. .Mac mail can only be retrieved from ONE (iMac G3) of the Macs. The others register that there are X number of .Mac emails in the inbox, but when one clicks on the box, the pane that should display the list of emails is blank. Every few minutes, the chime shows the same X number of emails has arrived in the inbox, starting the cycle all over again.
    I have check, double and triple checked the Mail configuration for each of these Macs and see no difference. In fact, when you login to .Mac it appears to configure the Mail account automatically.
    The router settings for these Macs (like port forwarding, etc.) is identical, too.
    Thanks for your help

    From Mail Help:
    "Setting up your email accounts
    The first time you open Mail, it automatically sets up email accounts for you using the information from the .Mac pane of System Preferences and the Mail Setup Assistant. If no information is found, Mail guides you through the process of setting up a new account. You can create additional accounts at any time.
    If you switch to Mail from another email application, you need to enter the account information from the other application in Mail. Before you begin, view the information in the other application, and write down the names of the incoming and outgoing mail servers, your account name and password, and whether it is a POP or IMAP account. If you have multiple accounts, get the information for each account.
    To add an account:
    Choose File > Add Account.
    Choose your account type, such as POP or IMAP, from the Account Type pop-up menu and enter the information, based on your account type. If you aren't sure about some of the fields, check with your Internet service provider (ISP) or mail account provider.
    General information: Enter a description of the account. The description is shown in the mailbox list. If you have multiple accounts, enter something that will help you distinguish this account from others, such as "Tom's work email." You must also specify the full name to be displayed in outgoing mail, such as Tom Clark, and the email address to use in the From field when you send messages. For a .Mac account, you must enter your .Mac user name and password.
    Incoming Mail Server: Enter the server (typically a POP or IMAP server) where your email waits for you to retrieve it. For example, mail.example.com. Enter your user name and password for this mail server. If you specified an Exchange account, you must specify the Outlook Web Access Server.
    Outgoing Mail Server: Enter the server (also known as an SMTP server) that sends your email to its destination. For example, smtp.example.com or relay.example.com. To see the server in use by each mail account, choose Edit Server List from the Outgoing Mail Server pop-up menu.
    Further define the new account you have just created. Choose Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, and select the new account in the list.
    In the Mailbox Behaviors pane, select options for storing and deleting drafts, sent mail, junk mail, and trash. The options are different for the different kinds of accounts.
    In the Advanced pane, select options to enable the account, include the account when checking for new mail, to manage offline viewing, and other options.
    A .Mac account is an IMAP account provided as part of Apple's .Mac services. To sign up for a .Mac account, open the .Mac pane of System Preferences and click Sign Up. You can also use a web browser to send and receive email with a .Mac account.
    An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
    For IMAP accounts, when you first connect to your mail server, all your mailboxes are automatically synchronized, so that the email messages on your computer are the same as those on the server.
    To remove an account, select it in the account list and click the Delete button.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    OR:
    "About synchronizing email accounts and settings
    There are two ways you can synchronize your email accounts and settings:
    If you are using an IMAP account, all your messages remain on the server, so you can access them from multiple computers. Mail periodically synchronizes your IMAP mailboxes with those on the server, ensuring that mailboxes on your computer reflect actions taken while viewing mail on the server, such as marking messages as read, deleting messages, or moving messages between mailboxes. If "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing" (in the Advanced pane of the Accounts pane in Mail Preferences) is set to one of the options that stores copies of messages, Mail also downloads messages (and attachments, if that option is selected) from the server to your computer. Before using an IMAP account offline, synchronize the account so you know you're working offline with up-to-date messages.
    If you have a .Mac account, you can use .Mac Sync to synchronize your account settings and your rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes across all of your Mac OS X x10.4 computers. To become a .Mac member, open System Preferences, click .Mac, and click the Learn More button. For more information about .Mac, visit the .Mac website at www.apple.com/dotmac/.
