Filing mail using the keyboard?

I have recently switched to Apple Mail, which I have to say is very fast - much faster than Thunderbird. It's very slick and I'm very happy with it.
On Thunderbird I had a really useful add-on with which I could file mail into a specific folder simply by using a keyboard shortcut. I would then be presented an auto-completing text box where I would start to type in the name of the folder where I wanted the message filed.
Is there an equivalent facility in Apple Mail? I can use the mouse of course, but it's so much slower.
Thanks in advance.

In that case, then you're going to feel better using stuff like MailTags or Act-on. I prefer smartfolders because the are... smart ?
Having Unread, Flagged, Today, Yesterday, 3 days, week, month, last month, Threads, Recently Viewed, Recently Sent, Co-Workers, Family, Friends, Attachments, 2007, 2006, ..2005, etc... I think that I make an interesting use of the smart folders. But, of course, this cannot apply to your IMAP setup and desire to replicate this on every application (Web, iPhone, etc.)
Good Luck then!

  • Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation.

    Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation. The tabs on bottom of all apps also work fine.
    I have already tried holding down the power button and home button for 10 seconds, but no difference.

    I've had this problem on and off for the last few weeks (around, but not directly related, to upgrade to 6.1...can't remember if was before or after)....I'm very convinced it's a software problem (as there have been times when the bottom row works perfectly, without any need to "press" differently or anything).
    However, it seems to be a rather resilient software issue, as a full restore does not consistently fix it, and it applies to more than just the keyboard; if I open a drawing app, there's definitely a row (about 4mm up from the edge of the screen closest to home button) where I cannot draw.
    It's happened 4 times now.  Originally it went away with a restore from backup, then worked for 2 more days.  The second and third times, it went away with a full restore (although I did two full restores in between those two restores that did nothing, so restore didn't consistently fix it)....and it seemed to return in the most random of circumstances. 
    I paid very close attention to what apps I was using the last time it was working so that I could spot which app, if any, might be causing the issue.  I deleted several apps, I stopped using the games and many other apps.   I only used three apps between it working fine and starting up as a problem again: mail, safari and messages.
    I was convinced it was mail, as it happened this morning when I picked up my phone off the bedside table to respond to a new email.  It was working when I went to bed.  I picked up the phone when it buzzed, hit the email app, hit reply and started to type....**** bottom row wasn't working again.
    However, tonight I did 2 things....one of them worked because it went back to normal (sorry, I don't know which as I was exasperated and trying a number of things). 
    The two things I did between a broken keyboard and a working keyboard were:
    1) adding a second keyboard (English(Canada)), changing to this keyboard, and changing back
    2) disabling Siri...and then turning it back on...and then disabling Siri's "Raise to Speak"
    In retrospect, I wonder if it actually was the "Raise to Speak" that was putting the phone into a weird state, and might explain why the phone would just "suddenly" start behaving strangely when I picked it up.  Of note, the "raise to speak" hasn't actually triggered Siri to come on in months anyway.
    Regardless, the keyboard is back to normal now...and I'm just going to leave "Raise to Speak" off.  I've put the keyboard back to just "English" with no alternates and Siri remains on otherwise without issue.

    Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
    If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I can no longer use the keyboard shortcuts, 'command  C' and 'command   V'.  Did I inadvertently do something to my keyboard or computer that caused this?  Is there a way to fix it?

    I can no longer use the keyboard shortcuts, 'command  C' and 'command   V'.  Did I inadvertently do something to my keyboard or computer that caused this?  Is there a way to fix it?

    You can also check in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure that custom shortcuts were not created using those same commands. If ones were, they could be creating a conflict. Step throuogh each of the items in the left list, checking the array presented in the right pane for each.

  • I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why?

    Hej some one,
    I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why & what can I do?

    Check your smtp preferences in mail.app.
    See if mail.app's Connection Doctor has any useful info.  Does it's status indicate all is ok?  When you use it's Show Detail are there any (useful) error messages?

  • Synaptics touchpad blocked & delay when using the keyboard in Windows 8.1

    Sometimes (possibly when I use the keyboard and then quickly attempt to move the mouse arrow on the screen with the Synaptics touchpad), I am unable to move the cursor for a half of second-or-so.
    Sometimes I cannot tap to click, maybe, few seconds (it is very annoying).
    There are some Mouse and touchpad settings in Windows 8.1 ("To prevent the cursor from accidentally moving while you type, change the delay before clicks work") which I set to "No Delay (always on)" but it does not work, either.
     I also checked the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre​ntVersion\PrecisionTouchPad
    but "AAPThreshold" is set correctly to 0 (No delay).
    But I still experiences problems and touchpad does not work while typing and sometimes also few moments after.
    Using HP Zbook 14, Win 8.1 x64, Synaptics driver 17.0.18.23.

    Hi,
    If you trying connect two Universal apps through Bluetooth, can you check if the
    Windows 8.1 Bluetooth RFComm sample runs fine on both the devices? I successfully tested the Windows 8.1 Bluetooth RFComm sample on Laptop (Windows 8.1) and Windows Phone 8.1 (paired).
    Make sure the service which you are trying to advertise/listen is supported by both the devices.

  • How do I shut down from the login window in mountain lion using the keyboard

    how do I shut down/sleep/restart from the login window in mountain lion using the keyboard?

    Hi Thomas, thanks for your reply.
    Yes in standard start-up as it is and in recovery mode I still get the same message about Disk Utility being unable to repair the disk so I should back-up and restore.
    Some posters have said that booting into safe mode should unmount the installer and allow rebooting back into Lion, that would allow me to back-up the files properly, as my last back up was (as is often the way) not too recent.
    But I think your suggestion looks more likely to be he correct way to do it, and I'll take the hit on any data that I may lose.
    Thanks again.

  • Opening LOVS using the keyboard

    I am trying to open a 9i LOV just using the keyboard. I have a text item with an LOV attached to it. When I tab to the item the new symbol appears (...). Is there a way of opening the LOV without clicking the mouse on this area?
    Many thanks.

    Control-L while in the LOV field.

  • Can't use the keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop CS6 when updating Mavericks

    Can't use the keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop CS6 when updating Mavericks

    Thanks everyone. What worked for me was a version of the suggestions above. I had the problem with the ≠ character appearing in all my Photoshop CS6 keyboard shortcuts and rendering them largely unusable. However, I don't have any other keyboards besides US English enabled on my Mac. I do have Spell Catcher installed, which works through the keyboard input method. So, I switched from Spell Catcher back to English (with the US flag), launched Photoshop and presto, my keyboard shortcuts were restored, absent that obnoxious ≠ symbol. Once in Photoshop, if I reselect Spell Catcher, the ≠ symbol returns so I have to run Photoshop without the help of Spell Catcher - or forego the use of keyboard shortcuts while it's on. Since the developer of Spell Catcher passed away last year there will be no more updates to the otherwise very useful utility. Apparently this keyboard shortcut problem in the various guises reported here is linked to some element of the OS X input method in Mavericks, as Photoshop seems to manifest the issue in relation to one specific input source or another. This is the first application in my experience to have a problem with Spell Catcher in OS X 10.9. So I will continue to use it, except in Photoshop. Spell Catcher was never updated for Mountain Lion or Mavericks so people like me will have to use it "at our own risk" as the saying goes. Be that as it may, it does appear to be a bug in Photoshop that's at the root of this matter as different people have somewhat different problems with the OS X input method - not that I expect either Adobe or Apple to do anything about it.

  • Hello, my backspace and enter keys suddenly stopped working. I have done a PRAM reset and used the keyboard viewer to see if the buttons work and they don't.  The PRAM reset didn't work  either

    Dear All,  the backspace and enter keys on my wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working.  Im using OS 10.7.5 and have tried a PRAM reset which didn't work.  I also used the keyboard viewer to see if the keys worked on that but they don't.  This is driving me mad, can anyone please tell me what to do?  It happened just after an update but this could be a coincidence.  Thank you for your time 

    For my computers, though some of them support BlueTooth devices and accessories,
    my preference and economy of standard, is to have wired USB and also use powered
    USB hubs for accessories.
    I've used USB wired keyboards and mouse products; and some I've bought from the
    original owners who had upgraded to BT, and never used the new Apple USB model;
    so I have spares of these on-hand since they seldom fail, but do work when BT won't.
    {A SMC reset should not cause a problem, or seldom has; but can solve some.}
    In my opinion, the wired USB keyboard is an essential accessory, if not a necessary
    primary means of user access on a continuous basis. At least until the wires fail...!

  • When I updated my iPad to iOS 6.1, it crashes when i use the keyboard. What should I do?

    Hi, when I updated to iOS 6.1, I noticed that I crash sometimes when I use the keyboard. Otherwise it's fine. What should I do?

    I was on the phone earlier with apple care for some questions regarding safari, and I mentioned to him about all the problems people are have with the 6.1 upgrade, and asked what could they do if their ipad is out of warranty. He said anyone with an ipad that has problems with a upgrade, has up to 30 after it was released to call apple support for help at no cost.
    This is the route I would take next. let us know how you make out.
