How do I enable text drag and drop in Mail?

Simple enough question. I'm sure I had this at one time in my Mail app, but it doesn't work now, and I see nothing in Preferences to enable it. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Just found the problem. The old Kensington Turbo Mouse I was using won't work with drag and drop. It doesn't work even when I dedicate one of the four buttons specifically to Drag. Attaching the regular mouse solves the issue.
(Though not, interestingly, with the text in InDesign, the application I'm using throughout the day).

How to to drag and drop apple mail into a browser or a webpage?

I want to drag and drop a mail from mailbox to a webpage for uploading.
is it possible to do that?

In the edit page mode, click the pencil of the region were your portlets are. A region is a box with a dotted line. In the first tab you have the ability to select "Allow action". Default this is set to "all". When you set it to "none", your portlets can not be drag & dropped.

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.

Enable Drag and Drop from mail to inbox folder

Using Outlook 2007... Somehow my drag and drop function has been disabled. I can no longer select an email and move it into a mail folder by dragging and dropping. I am able to right click and select "move to" but dragging and dropping is much
more efficient with the volume of email I'm receiving. This happened to me years ago but the company's IT guy fixed it while I was out of the office. When asked he said I had typed a keyboard code unknowingly that disabled the function. Any ideas on how to
regain the awesomeness that is drag and drop??

Hi,
Some users who encountered the same issue are able to resolve it by pressing ESC key for several times, you may have a try and let me know the result.
If above doesn't make any change, we may try to right-click the email you want to move and drag it to the target folder, then select Move from the pop-up menu to see if it will work.

I cannot figure out how to create a drag and drop interaction in Captivate 8. Options to do this are greyed-out.

How to create border by drag and drop

anyone can tell me how to create compound border using drag and drop for my interface??
thank you.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Please ask real technical questions instead of generalized and visualized questions.
Seen the technical level of your questions as far, I highly recommend to stop immediately with that visual editor and start writing code yourself. Don't brainlessly drag'n'drop as long as you don't understand at all what happens behind the scenes. You would only get yourself in deeper trouble after all.

How do I edit a drag and drop action in CP8?

Once the drag-and-drop interaction is created, I cannot open the wizard again. In CP7, it was possible to edit the answers in properties. How do I do it in CP8?

In cp 8 also you can edit the interaction. This you can do the same way as you were doing in Cp7. but you need to have a look in the rearrangement of properties into sections in drag and drop panel in CP8.
I believe you are configuring the DnD interaction through launching the Wizard. After you configure the interaction open "Drag and Drop" panel from the "Window" Menu. Now In the Panel you can see the options to edit the interaction.
For changing the answer matching you need to open "Correct answers" window(which you were finding in DnD properties panel in Cp7)in cp8 you can find this option from the same panel under "Options" Tab section.(as shown in snap shot)
let me know if this resolves your issue.

How to allow visitors to drag and drop photos

I don't know what it is called (let me know the term if you know) but I would like to learn how to design a web page that allows the visitor to move things around to custom design something -- ie. drag and drop images in the website. My wife designs jewelry and I have seen some sites that allow visitors to drag and drop beads onto a bracelet to design their own bracelet.
Any help is appreciated.

How to reduce size of drag and dropped screenshot without extreme pixilation / loss of quality?

Using CS6 with OS 10.9.4 I'm dragging and dropping a screenshot with a resolution of 1135x1006 pixels into file with a size of 5760x3600. the image is a rendering of a planet created in a different program and I need to compare its size to another planet already in photoshop. This means I need to decrease its size quite a lit to get it to the correct proportion. When I do this the image winds up looking like a 100x100 thumbnail or something, its terrible. I'm a photoshop newbie and even though I have read other online discussions about similar issues I don't understand what they are talking about. Here is the large planet I'm comparing the small planet to.
And when I import the image of the smaller planet and resize it it looks like this:
I can't have this sort of thing going on especially if I want to export the file at any decent resolution such as 2880x1800 or 3840x2160.
Please help.

How do I execute a Drag-and-Drop restore onto a new HD

Ok, so...
While I was backing up my HD with Time Capsule the other day, it started to fail (yes, irony abounds).
So, I have a great repair shop trying to recover my data and I did get a new HD and clean install of Lion (what I was using before the failure), but I don't have a complete Time Capsule backup.
What I do have is an older drag-and-drop copy of my User folder and almost all of my apps, but I am not sure in what order to do the following and if I am missing any steps:
1. Run Software Update
2. Drag my old User Folder over (and if I should so this as one big drop or piece by piece).
3. Update Apps
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks!

How do I upload or drag and drop folders into my website folder content?

Am I limited to uploading or dragging and dropping only files? I have folder content I want to place in these folders in mmy Creative Cloud Accounts websites?

Thank you Manish-Sharma for offering help. I have way too many individual files to upload singly. It would only be opportune to upload the individual folders. Until Adobe creates such to upload folders, there is no reason to upload any content so I will not be able to benefit from displaying any content. I just do not have the time to upload by this means. So, it is a feature that makes no worthwhile availability in Adobe Creative Cloud to me. This really needs attention by Adobe otherwise it is a major point to not continue using Adobe Creative Cloud. It makes no sense to lack the ability. John

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 multiple mail messages into finder

I am trying to move multiple mail messages into finder folders for organization and filing purposes. I know it will save these as mail files but that is what I would like anyway. It lets me drag and drop one message at a time but does not let me do it for multiple messages at a time. Does anybody know how to do this?

Drag and drop in mail

help

Yes sir, but as you said, "Pity no one came up with a suggestion or two or a solution".
The matter isn't closed for others coming to this thread looking for an answer. Repairing permisions is much easier than a reinstall. It worked for me.
