How do I make Mail show unread msgs in bold?

Hi-
In the preferences for Mail 5.1 there exists an option to "show unread messages with bold font". 
Checked or unchecked the unread messages look just like read ones.
Is there a fix for this?  I tried to make a Rule but couldn't find "is unread" on the list.
Actually I would settle for almost any difference; background color, italic, font color.
How do I make Mail show unread msgs differently?
thanks in advance for your help.

Some more ideas on Smart Mailboxes.
Please note that a Smart Mailbox does not move any email. It is just a search that collects matching email and displays them all together. You can move emails from the Smart Mailbox, and it will move the email from wherever it happens to be, into the folder you drop it into (except another smart mailbox)
You can create smart mailboxes to group emails by date, also. I've got Last Week, This Week, and This Month set up. Notice how you can drop smart mailboxes on top of one another to group them. It doesn't affect the search that is conducted, just puts them together. You can also add that group of Smart Mailboxes to the toolbar.
I use smart mailboxes for certain mailing lists where I just want to read and delete the list email, not move it into a mailbox for long-term storage. So, I create a smart mailbox for those list emails and I can show all the ones I haven't read/deleted.

  • How can I make Mail show name of address book group in to field?

    In my address book I have a group named "family." When I send email to that group, I want the "to" field to show "family." Instead, it shows the whole list, every name and address. I can put them into the BCC field, but I'd rather just show the group name in the "to" field.

    The column divider is still there. Widen the entire window first, then change column width.

  • How can I make Spotlight show the file path

    How can I make Spotlight show the file path in the Spotlight menu for selected file?

    Via Finder certainly, but not in the menu.  You can view the file path in the Spotlight search results display by pressing the ⌘ key (while hovering over a file in the results), though.  The path will display at the bottom of the Quick Look output, or cycle through that location.

    If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
    *Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the <b>permissions.default.image</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • Since updating to ios7 i can no longer partially download emails and this is using up all my data plan. How can I make Mail only be partially downloaded again?

    Since updating to ios7 i can no longer partially download emails and this is using up all my data plan. How can I make Mail only be partially downloaded again?

    YEA!  My jurryrig worked!  To all with this problem:
    You CAN have podcasts in a regular playlist IF you convert them to a standard MP3 first.  So, yes, a lot of manual labor
    The good news: if, like me, it is a track that you listen to frequently (in my case meditations for sleep and relaxation) then the time is worth it.  I will mess with automator later to see if there is anyway to script this!  Then, less work for me and more for my mac.
    Here are the steps:
    Select the file from your Podcast folder.
    Change all data you need -- "artist," "album" etc...
    Make a copy of the cover art for this file by dragging it to the desktop.
    Select the Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags menu item.
    Check ID3 tag version, and select "v1.0" from the drop-down menu.
    Drag the file to the desktop (this will make a copy of the MP3 on the desktop)
    Delete the file from the iTunes list.
    Drag the copy of the file you have on the Desktop back into iTunes.
    Search for the file in the Library, and add the cover art again to the file.
    Now the file is out of the Podcasts folder and works like a regular MP3 file inside iTunes. You can re-add it back to playlists!

    How do I make mailing labels from my contacts?  Apple support says it can not be done but I can't believe it.  There must be a way...does any one know how?

    If you are storing your contacts in the Address Book App, there is definitely a way to make and print mail labels.
    Here's how.
