E-mail drag and drop

Until a few days ago my I was able to drag and drop my incoming e-mail into folders - this feature stopped working for some reason
I am on Mac OS X 10.7.4 Lion I looked through some correspondence , but it does not have answer for me.Thanks

Hi Graf,
In one way its possible. you can either open the explorer view of document library and then drag drop from explorer view to your outlook new message window.
or you can map your sharepoint document library as network path. steps are follows :
1- Go to My computer
2- Right click and select Add network location click on next.
3- chose a custom netowrk location folder and click next
4- then enter the path of your sharepoint document library and click finish

Can i link to a specific sent email within a cell like the "Show in Mail" drag and drop feature in iCal events?

Trying to make a log of phone and email contacts with customers. I want to link to the actual email I sent to the customer, like the "show in mail" drag and drop feature in iCal. Thanks

Links in Numbers can do only two things external to the document:
Open a page on the web
Open and address a NEW email message, ready to compose and send.

Apple mail drag and drop to folder

Hi everyone,
Just wondered if the functionality to be able to drag and drop email from mail to a folder on my desktop has been removed or if it's an option I need to find.
I don't want to file>save each email every time.
Thanks!
Ben

It works fine for me as-is, using OS X 10.6.7 and Mail 4.5.
Note that the file dragged out and dropped onto the Desktop or into a folder on the Desktop will be a Mail document, not a text document.
If I want to quick-copy/export an email, I open the message in Mail, click once in the lower pane to make it active, then press Command-A (Select All). This highlights the body text of the email, which I can then drag out onto the Desktop where it becomes a regular clipping rather than a Mail doc.
Note re drag-and-drop -
If you click on the name of a message in the list and quickly try to drag it out to the Desktop it doesn't seem to work. However, if you click and hold for a second or two, the message line will dim a bit; if you then drag, it will follow along and drop where you let go of it.

Mail Drag and Drop to mailboxes not auto-scrolling

When dragging a mail message to the sidebar and the mailbox I want to drag it to is not in sight, on earlier OSes, I used to be able to drag and hold to the top or bottom of the sidebar and it would auto-scroll so I could drop the message where I wanted. On Yosemite, no auto-scrolling happens. Is this just me or are other experiencing the same problem and/or does someone have a solution?

beezaman,
I also experience this issue. If I turn off or Hide if you will the Favorites Bar and the Toolbar then I'm able to drag a file to scroll up or down in the sidebar. As I know hiding the toolbars isn't something many people would want to do, I would encourage sending Apple feedback about this issue. You can do so at the following link: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
For me a solution for now would be to use the scroll whilst dragging feature of the trackpad. Click and drag a message over the sidebar and then whilst still holding down the left click I can scroll up or down using the trackpads two finger scroll.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Why has mail drag and drop to folders gotten so sensitive that it wants to drop the mail back to the inbox and open the destination folder instead?

Running Thunderbird 16.0.2 on a MacBook Pro.

Perhaps the issue is related to the volume of messages or the settings on the IMAP/POP server.
Maybe your TB settings for Synchronization & Storage.
With IMAP, messages usually remain on the server.
With POP, they are usually removed when downloaded.
Cookies and cache may need cleaning. Also check your firewall permissions. and your IP address for blacklist.

Mail "New Message" window retreats to background after drag and drop attachment from Finder to Mail "New Message", click, and Finder window stays in foreground even when not in focus

Hi, I'm surprised I can't quickly find if anyone else is having this issue. For me it has been going on since Lion on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011 and it's still persisting in Mavericks, and even still now that I've "downgraded" to a 15" MacBook Pro 2010 with Mavericks. The behavior is odd and difficult to explain concisely. Basically, when I want to add an attachment to Mail, I'll Cmd+Tab over to Finder click and drag and Cmd+Tab back to Mail, and drop the attachment. At first it looks fine, but when I click in the New Message window where I just dropped the attachment, to move the cursor, it retreats to the background and the Mail Main Window comes to the foreground. Then, if I click on that, the Finder window that I just used comes to the foreground. Sometimes if I switched to another app before going to Finder to select the drag and drop, that other app window will appear in the foreground instead. If I click on the other app window that is now in the foreground, then the Finder window that was last used will come to the foreground. The only thing that seems to fix this switch-a-roo effect is Cmd+Tab-ing back and forth a few times, or click on the window "frame" at the top to move the window around.
The way to prevent this is to have my Mail Message window visible in the foreground side by side with the Finder window when the drag and drop occurs (this is a tedious extra step if mulitple windows are open, or to use the add attachment command in the menu within Mail. But it sure is annoying buggy behavior.
Thanks

Yep, I get exactly the same thing when using Thunderbird mail client on my 2011 iMac running Lion. I've been putting up with it for at least a year, maybe longer.
For me it appeared to start after a Thunderbird update, so I figured that was the cause and couldn't find a solution at the time. However I've now noticed it starting to happen in Apple Motion 4 when dragging files from Finder into a DropZone in my animations. Motion remains the active program but the Finder window sits on top until I Cmd-tab out to a third open program (ie not Finder) and back to Motion again.
This is the first indicator I've had that it's an OS X issue.
Be great to find a solution as D&D is by far my preferred way of adding attachments to emails and similar tasks.

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1...I used to be able to drag and drop contact addresses from my address book to an e-mail header. Now I have to type all the names and can't drag and drop. Is there a setting for this? Thanks!

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1. I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that. I now have to type each name in. Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software? Thanks for any info!

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
\\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
It's not a link either, it's just the text.
I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.

Drag and Drop export of vcards to Mail no longer works in Snow Leopard

In 10.5, you could drag a vcard from the Address Book application, drop it on the Mail icon on the dock, and the vcard would be automatically attached to a new mail message. This no longer works in 10.6. Tested on a G4 iMac running Leopard and a Mac Pro on Snow Leopard. Kind of a bummer, as I used to send new contacts to business partners all the time this way.

There have been other reports of drag and drop to the icon not working like it did/should.
I imagine rewriting it for Docksposé caused a lot of code changes. Hopefully, they will fix the things that have fallen through the cracks.
I forgot to mention the only workaround I can find is to create the new message first, and then use Docksposé to drop the vCards onto the new message.

Can't drag and drop folders in Mail

I have a lot of folders in Mail, and I can only drag and drop a folder among the set of folders that is visible at a given time. If I need to drag the folder up or down, to an area that must be scrolled to, it does not work. This started when I upgraded to Yosemite.

It means don't open the Contacts app, open in in Mail: ⌥⌘A
I found another solution: type the name of the address group I need in the to: field.
Thank you anyway.
That's just the Previous Recipients.

Drag and Drop prob (Mail)

When I drag and drop text in a Mail message it drops a copy in the new location and leaves the original text in place. I guess there must be a setting somewhere to allow what I would call normal behavior (ie the text moves location when dragged, equivalent to cut and paste) but I can't find it. Anyone?
(EDIT) - Couldn't find an answer to this when I searched the communities but when I posted the above, a link to a similar question (with an answer) appeared Re: Strange drag and drop text editing behavior in Mail, so thanks for reading this but no answer is now required)

You might consider using the "Archive" capability of Mail. Look at Archive in Mail Help.

Drag and Drop e-mails to a SharePoint Online Folder

Summary
E-mail to a list is not available in SharePoint Online (yet) and it is difficult to move e-mails from Outlook to a SharePoint list for collaboration, storage and search. The following steps will put a file on the users desktop that will open a SharePoint list and then you can drag and drop e-mails into the proper folder.
Step 1
Create a drag and drop folder location for SharePoint Online e-mails
1.       Go to your SharePoint Online shared documents location
2.       Create the folder structure that you want for your e-mail storage
3.       Click on your top folder
4.       Click on Actions
5.       Open with Windows Explorer
6.       In the address bar at the top of the Explorer Window copy the address
Step 2
Go to Start, Computer
1.       Click on Map Network Drive
2.       Paste the address copied above into the Folder box
3.       Check Reconnect at logon
4.       Take note of the drive letter given or choose a drive letter
*note these instructions are for Windows 7 – you can search help for Map Network Drive for the OS you are using
Step 3
Open Notepad
1.       Type in the following:
“explorer z:” (leave out the quotation marks and enter the drive letter in step 2
2.       Click File
3.       Click Save As
4.       File name OpenEmail.bat
·         Note the file name does not matter but the .bat has to be there
·         Save to the Desktop
When a user wants to open the SharePoint location that stores e-mail they double click on OpenEmail.bat and it will open in an Explorer view which will allow for e-mails to drag and drop from Outlook into the folder.

Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

Hi,
I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail? (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:
