How do I change the folder in which Mail saves sent e-mails (On my Mac)?

If I send an e-mail from my iPad, te e-mail is saved in "sent items". However, if I send an e-mail from my Mac, with mail, the e-mail is saved in another folder: "Sent Messages".
I know I can easily change the folder in which the iPad saves sent e-mails, but I would like to change this setting on my Mac, so that the Mac saves sent e-mails exactely where the iPad saves snet e-mails.
Is it possible to change this setting on the Mac?

There might. (Stress, might.)
Quit Mail.
Make a backup of <~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist>.
Open it with a suitable text editor (eg, TextWrangler), or plist editor (eg, Xcode, Pref Setter).
Look for the key "SentMessagesMailboxName". Replace the string "Sent Messages" with what you want.
Repeat for every such key. Save.
Launch Mail. Test. If anything goes wrong, replace com.apple.mail.plist with the backup.
Warning: I have not tested this myself, so I don't know if it works and/or if it causes any problems.

  • How does one change the folder to which scanned images are saved?

    Using a CanoScan 9000F Mark II scanner
    Using the ScanGear driver software that came with it
    Right now every time I scan something, it is automatically saved in "My Documents", and I have to drag and drop the file where I really want it to go. How do I change it so that the file is saved where I want it to go in the first place. Also, it is automatically assigning a file name so that I have to go to the file and change that to what I would like it to be too. How do I make it so that I can name the file before it gets saved. Neither do I see where it gives me the option to choose the format in which the file is saved; it is saving the files automatically as JPG, but I would like to save them as TIFF or BMP.
    These seem to be very standard options; so I don't know why I'm finding it so hard. I must be blind or something.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

  • How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in R/3?

    Hello All.
    In case of MM, purchasing group is assigned to material master.
    It means purchasing group is maintained based on material code.
    But SRM has different maintenance level.
    As you know that purchasing group has the responsibility based on material group (Product category).
    So we should change the purchasing group from R/3, when end user create shopping cart.
    How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in material master?
    Thank you,
    Best regards,

    Hello So Hee,
    I am not a technical guy.
    But for your requirement i am building a logic.
    I am not sure whether it will work.
    You need to check with your ABAPER.
    It is as below:
    When the SC is approved and the other configuration is correct ,
    PR is created in ECC by the virtue of BAPI.
    You want that the pur grp should be populated on the base of matl code and not on matl grp.
    Hence in SC you will not fill up pur grp.
    In the programme for BBPSC01 i.e. SC creation you will add modification that it will call a custom FM.
    This custom FM will get the matl code from SC and will find the value of pur grp from R/3 MM01i.e. matl master(you may get in MARA).
    Now in the BAPI you need to incorporate this additional value of yr pur grp field.
    So the desired pur grp as per yr R/3 matl master will be populated in yr R/3 PR.
    Again: this is all hypothesis.
    That's all I can help you.

    How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    Kay,
    If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header.  If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
    Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • How do I change the front end (letters) of my Cloud e mail address?

    How do I change the front end (letters) of my iCloud e mail address?

    You can't change an iCloud email address without creating a new account.  You can, however, create an @icloud email alias address that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox.  This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  If you create an alias address, it can't later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can it be moved to another account or reactivated should you ever delete it.

  • How do I set the folder to which temporary files are saved?

    As of now, whenever I click "Open with..." when downloading a file, a copy of that file saves to my desktop and never gets cleared. I'd like to set the temporary folder so I can manually clear it periodically, but the only file management option I seem to have is to set downloads to always save in a certain folder--which does not appear to include "temporary" files. How can I change the destination folder for temporary downloads? And why does Firefox download and save the files before opening them? I don't want to save every PDF I read online, yet this seems to be the default setting in order to open files.

    You probably need to set that temp folder in the Safari Preferences to set them for other programs.
    Safari > Preferences > General > Save Dowloaded Files To
    You can also set the Boolean pref browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit to true on the about:config page.

  • HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

    Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

    To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
    Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
    killall SystemUIServer
    You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.

  • How do you change the folder layout in WebDB Site Builder?

    Regards,

    The folders in my content area are already displayed, I just want them to be displayed vertically in a list not horizontally. My folders appear like this:

    I want them to appear like this:
    a

    Any ideas?
    The 'multiselect option' below that you referred to only alows you to select the order of the folders and if they are displayed or not.
