How do I mark a message "replied?"

So I use mail with my gmail account. sometimes, when i'm away from my computer, i access my mail through gmail. when i reply to a message there, it doesn't show up as replied in my mail program. i'm a weird neatfreak like that and i'd love to be able to go in and manually mark messages as "replied" if they are, but i can't see how to do that. any help?

Steven,
I know of no way to do this. The indicators of a Reply or a Forward, are set up to point to that Reply or Forward Message, which since done in Web access, is not available to the email client. Thus, it would seem no facility has been provided to Mark as replied, since the message will not be available to point toward.
Furthermore, since the Gmail server does not provide messages you copy to yourself for download to any POP client, you cannot use that to have a message to file in the Sent aboard your computer. However, with Gmail accounts, unlike most POP accounts, if you use the Gmail SMTP for sending from Mail, then those sent from Mail, will be filed on the Gmail server. Thus, Google has designed the service to place primary reliance on the web based use of Gmail, it would seem.

    How do you mark a message as spam when your mail comes from gmail via OS X Mail.app?
    I use IMAP to get Gmail. I seem to remember seeing a "[Gmail]/Spam" IMAP folder in previous versions of the app, but that's not visible any more.
    Without this, I have to log on to the web-based Gmail to mark messages as spam, that's a productivity killer.

    right mouse click on a message and select Mark as Junk Mail

  • How can i mark a message for follow up

    I have a message that says something will happen on a specific date. I would like to mark that message for follow up, hopefully telling TB the specific date that I need to follow up. I know that Outlook has flags. Does TB have something similar?

  • How should I mark a message as spam when using Mail with IMAP Gmail

    Hi,
    I've been using Apple Mail 3.2 with Gmail's IMAP for several month's and am very happy with the setup. One feature of Gmail that's great is the spam filtering, however, every day a couple spam messages get through the filtering. My question is this: What's the best way to train Gmail of a spam message?
    Accessing Gmail through the Safari allows you to mark a message as Spam. I assume that Gmail then does something to train its algorithm that spam has been received so that a similar message will go direct to the Spam folder the next time its received.
    I prefer to deal with my email via Apple Mail or via the iPhone Mail and have been moving spam messages to the Spam folder. Does this action do anything to train Gmail's spam filtering so that a similar message will go direct to the spam folder?
    Thanks

    Hello Hal:
    I think you will get a better answer to your question by contacting G-mail. In my case, I use AOL mail in Apple's mail application. AOL catches the vast majority of spam/junk and it is placed in a spam folder. The few that get through seem to be trapped by Apple's mail and placed in the Junk folder.

  • How to filter the operator message reply options in the popup dialog

    when a step comes to "request restart" handler, operator has to reply the operator message.
    by default there are 7options:"Abort chain and set chain status to 'Error'", "Restart this step" ......
    in our scenario, for many job step request restart handler, operator should only choose "Return status handlers as if this step was completed with the status 'completed' " as ignorance the error or"restart chain from the beginning" as re-run from the beginning.  Mis-operation would cause unexpected error.
    so, I want to know, is there a way to set a filter, so that in same operator message reply dialog, there are only some options we needs.
    I know the filter(if exists) can not prevent all mis-operations. but it really is a way to reduce the possibility.

    Hello,
    You can Ignore the message if the message is of following types:
    If no message type is given for the rule with this mode in column MSGTYP, all application log messages are ignored.
    If a particular message type (A, E, I, S, W, X) is specified, application log messages with exactly this type are ignored. If you want several message types (but not all) to be ignored, specify several rules with this mode and the message type to be ignored in each case
    Please refer the below link:

  • In 31.3, how do you mark a message as Not Junk

    T'bird help says there's a Not Junk button, but I can't find one. Thanks for your help

    There are two ways to mark as Not Junk:
    When viewing a message TB (or you) has marked as junk, there is a strip near the top of the message which says 'Thunderbird thinks this message is junk mail.' In that strip, there is a box on the right which says 'Not Junk'.
    The other way is in the list of mail in a folder, if you right click on the message, one of the options is 'Mark'; then hovering your mouse over that you can select 'As Not Junk'.

  • How can I make IMAP message flags (replied, forwarded) update regularly ?

    Several Macs are connecting to the same (Citadel) IMAP-server here. The problem is that if someone replies to an existing message the "replied to" flag (little arrow in the message list) is only showing up on the other machines if I restart mail.app on them.
    Even manual synchronization via the Mailbox/Synchronize.. does not update the flags. The same applies to the other flags (forwarded, read).
    How can I configure mail.app to automatically synchronize these flags ?

    I will clarify. I would like to select emails that are either:
    Replies to recently sent mail. This isn't perfect, since some messages are not important, so I don't need to know right away that there's a reply.
    or
    Replies to specific messages that I would mark as important within Mail.app, somehow. I don't specifically want to mark the messages with an !important flag, since that would impose on the recipient, and there's no way to guarantee that they will reply with the !important flag intact.
    I suppose that I might use Contacts groups and add the "currently important" people to a specific group, then select the messages from people in that group, but that is not exactly optimal, since I'd have to maintain that group manually.

  • How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?

    How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?
    When I look at some emails on my phone, I can see from the title that I don't need to read the email so I delete it without opening it. When I go to my Macbook Pro and open mail, the number of unread messages in my Trash shows next to the name. It drives me nuts. Can I just set a rule to mark all messages sent to trash as read? If that isn't possible, I'd take just making the number not show beside the Trash folder.

    Just in the case that I actually do need to go back to them for some reason. I have some OCD tendencies which is also why the number beside the folder drives me nuts.

    What do you mean it does on your iPhone?
    If you download a new email to your computer and read that mail and then download it to the iPhone it sees it as already read? Then maybe the iPhone is using the Hotmail IMAP system? Not sure.

  • My Hotmail is marking certain messages as Junk; these messages do not appear in my Mac Mail Junk folder. How can I rectify this?

    I am using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my MacBook (mid-2009); Mail version 6.1 (1498).
    My Junk Mail permissions are as follows:
    - Enable junk mail filering
    - When junk mail arrives: Move it to the Junk mailbox
    - The following types of messages are exempt from junk mail filtering: Sender of messafe is in my Contacts and my Previous Recipients, Message is addressed using my full name
    - Trust junk mail headers in messages
    My junk messages are never automatically deleted
    My incoming mail server is pop3.live.com
    I do not know where to find the junk mail settings on the hotmail website.
    How do I make sure I'm not missing reading my junk when I use Mac Mail?
    Many thanks for your help in advance.

    Part of training the junk filter is also to mark good messages 'As Not Junk'.

  • How to mark email messages as Not Junk?

    When I look in the Junk email folder in Mac Mail, I see messages that I did not mark as junk mail.  I guess Mac Mail is somehow filtering and classifying the messages as junk.  Within the Junk folder, however, there are messages that are not junk.  How to I mark these items (and future messages from the same source) as not junk, so that they appear in my Inbox and not in my Junk folder?
    What I Think I Am Supposed To Do
    1. Open a message in the Junk folder that I do not want to be classifled as junk.
    2. By default, a "thumbs down" icon appears in the toolbar (View > Show Toolbar).  I click on thumbs down to mark the message as junk. The thumbs down icon changes to a "thumps up" icon.
    3. I click on the thumbs up icon to mark the item as not junk
    Is this the right thing to do?  When I do the above steps, the message remains in the Junk folder - it does not move my Inbox folder.  But will future messages from the same source go into my Inbox?
    Thanks

    In case other are having this problem: With Outlook.com email, I found that mark email items as Not Junk within Mac Mail had not effect.  Subsequent emails from the same sender still went into the Junk folder.
    I had to sign on to my Outlook.com email at www.outlook.com website and mark the emails there as Not Junk.  Subsequent emails from the same sender than arrived in my Mac Mail Inbox, as desired.

  • How to prevent Mail form marking the messages as read when marked?

    I use Mail 3.0 on Leopard (10.5.1).
    Each time I click on a message, it automatically marks the message as read.
    Is there any way to prevent this from happening? How can i set up a time-delay or switch it off?

    I think the only way would be for Apple to implement a delay for marking files as read. Perhaps putting a delay of a second or two would work, so folks can browse through their mail without actually reading it. As it is, though, there's no way to prevent mail from marking a message you browse over.

  • How do you set Mail to mark a message as "read" only when you open it

    I'm using Apple Mail. Works great, but I have one big issue I can't figure out. I want my messages to be marked as read ONLY if I double click or actually physically open the message....not when I click it once with the mouse or if it gets selected in the inbox message pane. The way it's set up, all my mail is read the minute I click on it. This is extremely annoying and I can't find anywhere where you can set this preference. HELP.
    does this make sense to anybody??
    OSX Tiger 10.4.7

    The OP's question makes sense and Scott's comment is correct. You can have Mail setup so that there is the list of folders on the left, the list of emails in that folder in the top right hand side and the selected message in the pane below that on the lower right hand side. In that case clicking on a message in the list of messages will display it below and Mail will deem you to have read it. On the other hand if you drag down the divider and get rid of the pane in which the message displays then selecting it does not mark it read. Double-clicking it should bring it up in a new window and cause the message to be marked read.
    Basically Mail marks the message read when it has displayed (some of) the message in some place (ie a separate window or the lower right hand side pane) where you could have read it

  • I have an iPad mini retior new messagna. How do I stop iCloud from asking ID every time I press icons to write new message/reply. This only started 3 days ago  and is really annoying. I have tried most things apart from reset.

    I Have an iPad mini ios 8.02 with retina screen from 3 days ago email asks for iCloud ID every time I press icon for new message/reply. Although I can press cancel and still write message. This is most annoyin. Any solutions

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa
