Feature request: Select emails by count-from-sender

Please allow me to select emails by count? e.g. indexing all the senders and counting the emails received from each.
Here's how that would help:
When it comes to free up a few Gigs of space in disk and improve Mail's performance, selecting thousands of emails from a few big senders is more effective than attempting the crazy task of bothering ourselves with finding just undreds of emails from hundreds of small senders!
Most of the emails we'd like to be able to handle without deleting them nor letting them to fall into the spam filter's claws, are the ones we ACTUALLY suscribed to, but never had the time to recover the password, login to them, update the email preferences (most times tricky or falsely advertised as "editable", or just impossible)… a total mission certainly harder than just leting them come, and some day delete them all. After all, It's easy: selecting ALL the emails from facebook, hit delete. Done.
Now multiply that for tens of big senders, and it's a pain.
I want to select the emails by COUNT BY SENDER, and be able to slide up or down the threshold to select them.
Slide to the left, and all emails from senders with at least 2 emails sent will be selected.
Slide to the right and only emails from senders with e.g. 10 emails sent would be selected.
( Read or unread would be a good extra criteria )
That way, I don't need to go through the hundreds of small senders and wear out my brain thinking one by one whether to delete it or not, for what? to delete just a few hundred emails an hour!.
This way I can go through a few giants, and delete thousands at once.
Or is ther a way to do it (script? add-on? rule?) and I didn't find it?

  • Feature Request: Multiple Email Reply

    I've spent a few minutes hunting around the Apple.com website trying to find/search for a way to provide feedback for Mail. There doesn't appear to be such a beast, so I thought I would post it here.
    In other email programs I have used over the years, I could select more than one email message, select reply, and all of the selected emails would appear in the one message, which was handy when you were replying to several messages to the same person at once.
    Yes, I could forward them, but It would be nice to just be able to reply to them. So, Apple, there you have my suggestion.

    Someone else looked for this a while back, so I wrote them this little script. Let me know if you have problems with it.

  • Feature request: Select objects inside Fence

    HI,
    It would be very nice to be able to select only what's inside a rectangular selection fence with the selection tool.
    Maybe having a modifier to disable it or a left/right fence protocol (left to right=select inside, right to left select touching) would be nice,
    It would make selection a lot faster in many circumstances.
    Thanks

    I think that would be a very elegant solution. Please reply to this thread if you agree! Maybe we can make Apple implement this for Keynote'10!
    Hi Markus,
    Elegant or not, if you want Apple's development team to know about your wish list, this user-to-user forum isn't the place to tell them.
    In Keynote, go to the Keynote menu, choose Provide Keynote Feedback, and make your request. Feedback there goes directly to Apple.
    While you're waiting (If the feature is implemented, it won't be until at least the next version of Keynote), here's the less-elegant way to do this:
    First, try to locate a place you can click to select the desired object directly—somewhere that it is not covered by an object in front of it. Click on the background, then press command-A to Select All (objects on the slide). Examine the outline and handles on the desired object. If you find a place to click and select it, click the background again to deselect all objects, then click on the desired object.
    Second, if that doesn't work (ie. if the desired object is entirely covered by another object), click and select the object preventing your desired selection, then go Arrange > Send Backward* (or press shift-option-command-B). Now click the desired object. If it still can't be selected, repeat until it can (and do keep track of how many steps it took so that you can restore the stack to the original order).
    As always, when making changes of this sort, it's good to Save just before starting the changes to provide a route back if things go awry.
    Regards,
    Barry
    *You could also choose Send to Back (shift-command-B), but not knowing how many steps back it's been sent could cause you problems in restoring the stack to a useable order.

  • Outlook Feature Request - "After email is read" rule trigger

    I organize my emails within a folder structure but only after I've read them.
    I would love to be able to create a Rule within Outlook that allows me to have a 'move email to folder' rule that is triggered AFTER I've read an email.
    Example Workflow:
    An email comes in
    I read the email
    Email status changes to 'read'
    Rule fires that moves the read email to a specified folder per the rule

    Rules are processed during send/receive or when selected manually so hooking it to the "Mark as Read" action would require a completely separate processing mechanism. You can do this with some VBA already though.
    Why exactly do you want to move the message after you've marked it as read instead of doing this directly? By using a Search Folder you would be able to move it directly and still be able to easily read all your (unread) mail from a single container.
    FWIW; I hardly use the Inbox anymore but work from my "Today's Unread Mail" Search Folder and have rules sort my messages directly when they are being received. See;

  • FEATURE REQUEST: 'Select Printer' option when printing envelopes or labels

    I have a Samsung laserjet printer that will not print labels properly with the default paper type setting...the toner smears. So I have created a second printer object for the Samsung device with 'Labels' selected as the default paper type and I've named
    it 'Samsung Labels'. I can select it as the printer in Word 2010 and it will print labels correctly for that session. I've read the discussion about Word 2010 only remembering the printer preferences during the current session. That is unfortunate, but I consider
    this to be even worse: when you click the 'Print' button after creating your label or envelope, Word just prints to the default printer without displaying the print control panel. This prevents me from selecting the printer object that I've created to print
    labels correctly with my Samsung. I use a number of different printers and I don't want to necessarily use my default printer for Word. I want to be able to select a different default printer for Word and also have the option to select a different printer
    for a particular print task in Word...like labels. I don't want to have to go into Word's print options every time I want to print a label and make sure that everything is set correctly. It makes no sense that I can't select a printer object when I hit the
    print button. There are a million 'features' built into Office that I would never think of using, but one that seems so obvious is missing. Arg!
    I doubt that I'll hear back from someone with a simple work around for this, but I'd love it if I did.
    Thanks in advance,
    Wayne
    Wayne S. CompTIA A+ CompTIA Network+ Microsoft MCP

    I would like to second Wayne's suggestion but I am concerned with printing envelopes, not labels. I have been a PC user (and even an instructor) since the days of VisiCalc, Lotus 1-2-3, and the first Microsoft products. It has never ceased to amaze me
    that, as mentioned by Wayne, the most fundamental needs are overlooked. It wastes a lot of my time to constantly have to change the printer just to print an envelope or to print something on letterhead. We have a lot of documents that include one letter on
    letterhead followed or preceded by several pages that need to print on plain paper. I think I should be able to tell Word that page X is letterhead, and the others default to the plain paper tray or printer. I also should be able to tell the print envelopes
    feature that envelopes are on printer X or tray X. Then every time I need to print such a document, I just click print for the doc and envelope print for the envelope (I keep an icon for this in my toolbar). We use a legal software package in our office that
    lets you specify the appropriate printer and tray for reports, general checks, trust checks, labels, receipts, deposit slips, bills and pre-bills! Super easy and convenient. Word processing should be SMART so we don't have to be bothered with these very mundane
    and never-ending printer issues!! Please, please, take this to the top! Please send your developers to actual real-world users and find out our needs!!!

  • Feature Request: Selective Backup and Restore

    I know this is a board that apple doesn't answer questions to and blah blah blah but let's not kid ourselves that they don't monitor everything that goes on here; now thats out of the way.
    Something that would be really useful would be selective backup/restore. Cuz i'm sure there are times when you what to restore only a specfic app and nothing else, or your messages.
    Also if you're cleaning up your device and you accidently delete the wrong app; you will lose all that data with that app but inorder to restore that app and data you have to restore to a pervious backup and go through the process of re-deleting those apps.
    Or if you want to restore your apps/data but have your settings start from scratch.
    I don't know, I think this type of backup/restore feature could be very useful to alot of people...does any1 else agree?

    You face 2 problems: The first is that polls are forbidden by the terms of use of the forum. The second is this:
    Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy
    Apple, as with many other companies, do not want outsiders to suggest ideas, because if the company implements the idea they can later be sued for copyright violation or, in the worst case, patent infringement.

  • How to stop emails in outbox from sending?

    Hi,
    I've for a HUGE problem.
    Basically, I tried sending 400 emails at once today. Upon selecting all and pressing send, a box popped up saying "cannot send message" because my account does not have a preferred outgoing server (and also I received a pop up saying that it can't verify the certificate). The problem is that these popped up 400 times and I am unable to close them / click on anything with the mail app open.
    The emails are sitting in my outbox (and so I cannot send them via web mail to fix it). Every time I force quit and reopen to try and fix the issue, the emails start resending and it crashes (so I can't sort the server issue).
    Is there any way around this? Or is there a way to stop auto sending of emails in my outbox WITHOUT mail being open?
    Sorry for the long post...I need help please!!!

    I had same problem.  I finally left the mail to sit for an hour or so.  Then I clicked send for each email.  Finally got them all sent.  Wish I knew a way to batch send.  Good luck!!!

  • Feature Request - Ability to prevent videos from auto playing in Browser

    This one isn't totally specific to the Classic, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
    Currently, when visiting sites such as CNN or CTV News in the BlackBerry Browser and you open an article with a video, it will be begin playing automatically. This can be annoying if you're in a library for example as the sound can be disturbing, but most importantly it's a waste of mobile data.
    I would like to see a feature added to the Browser's settings that would be able to prevent any videos from automatically playing to prevent such scenarios from occurring.
    Solved!

    Thanks for the detailed feedback @Zeridialous

  • FEATURE REQUEST: illuminate keyboard on wake from sleep and passwd required

    I've had my MBA for about a week and a half now. Slick little machine. Love it. There's one thing it doesn't do that's driving me crazy. Well, not literally crazy, but it is annoying. To reproduce:
    1. System Preferences -> Security -> check "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver." Quit System Preferences.
    2. Press F6 enough times to make sure the keys are illuminated.
    3. Close the display and wait for the computer to go to sleep.
    4. Open the display and wait for the computer to wake.
    5. The screen will turn on and the password prompt will appear. However, the keys are not illuminted! If you're in the dark, you have to hunt for the right keys to enter your password.
    6. After you enter your password, you are brought back to whatever you were doing when you closed the display in step 3, and the keys light up.
    The keys should light up when you open the display, not once you've unlocked the machine!
    Bug!

    It's best you send this directly to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Have a nice day.

  • Feature Request - Save Emailed Photos

    I'd like to be able to save pictures that are in my email to my iphone- using them as wallpaper, applying to contacts, etc...

  • Feature request: selective per-file Smart Previews in LR5

    I would like to be able to selectively enable Smart Previews on a per-file basis, rather on entire directories.
    It would be great if I could do this after importing files, too.
    I am using:
    Lightroom 5.0 64-bit
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    You can BUILD smart previews on a per-file basis by clicking the original photo button in the lower left corner of the histogram.  In grid view of the Library module, it will build smart previews for all the photos you have selected.  In Develop module, it will build a smart preview for the most-selected photo.  Not sure if this is what you want.

  • Select count from large fact tables with bitmap indexes on them

    Hi..
    I have several large fact tables with bitmap indexes on them, and when I do a select count from these tables, I get a different result than when I do a select count, column one from the table, group by column one. I don't have any null values in these columns. Is there a patch or a one-off that can rectify this.
    Thx

    You may have corruption in the index if the queries ...
    Select /*+ full(t) */ count(*) from my_table t
    ... and ...
    Select /*+ index_combine(t my_index) */ count(*) from my_table t;
    ... give different results.
    Look at metalink for patches, and in the meantime drop-and-recreate the indexes or make them unusable then rebuild them.

  • Feature Request: Add multiple photos to catalog at once

    The API currently allows you to use catalog:addPhoto() to add a single photo to the catalog.
    This works fine, but a poor user experience when adding a number of photos (esp. dozens or hundreds) - there's a separate child progress bar for each, masking the overall progress, and if the user has a sound enabled on import, it plays the sound on each photo import. If there were a way to import multiple photos at once (or API options/params to disable both of the feedbacks), this would make for a better UX when importing a lot of pictures.

    Sorry. I'm having a hard time finding my way around these forums, and the search is less than helpful.
    Please point me in the right direction.
    Edit: I found the correct forum now, and have recreated my feature requests there and deleted them from this forum (with the exception of this thread, which I can't delete at this point). My apologies.

  • How to select the max rowid from a subquery with group by

    Kindly help how to fix the following query because I'm getting Oracle error:ORA-01446.
    select * from edy_raw_data a

    The query select the max rowid from a sub query with group by.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Why do you need to compare with rowid?
    Wouldn't this suffice?
    select * from edy_raw_data a
    where (email,date_updated) = (select email, max(date_updated) from edy_raw_data b
                        where b.email=a.email
