How do I mark an e-mail message for followup on a specific date?

I want to mark an incoming e-mail message to be followed up on a specific date/time.  When that date arrives I want a reminder to pop up on my desktop.  I can do this in Outlook, but would rather use the native Mac Mail if possible.

For some reason the Drag-and-Drop to the Calendar followed by Drag-and-Drop to Reminders does not work for me.
I found a much more elegant solution using Automater here:

Thanks to Chuck Kalish for contributing the code.  Now I can create the reminders with a single keypress, and I can also modify the code to tailor the exact text of the reminders to suit my needs.

    How do I delete a voice mail message before listening to the message ?

    Hi ,
    I see what you mean.This cannot be deleted without calling the voicemail.
    You can remove the voicemail if you no longer want this.
    Or ring the voicemail from a different number and delete it this way.
    Thanks.

    You can't add a smart mailbox, but depending on your iOS version you can add a server stored mailbox with an IMAP or Exchange account for sorting received and sent messages by category.  Not possible with a POP account.

  • Getting returned mail messages for emails I did not send

    I've recently started getting returned mail messages for emails I did not send. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

    That might be tough to do. Is there a rule I can use to help. The mail messages are so varied.
    I'd look at the headers (View -> Message -> Long Headers) to see if there's anything in common, then try to create a rule based on that.
    By the way, welcome to Apple's discussion groups.

  • How to fire event to generate insert message for the child objects?

    We are in process to integrate CRM On Demand and existing Microsoft SQL DB.
    We have the following problem:
    For ex., we have CRM Object_1 that already synchronized with the SQL DB. CRM also has independent Object_2 and its child Object_2.1
    We dicided that we want to connect the Object_2 as child to the Object_1.
    The question is how to fire event to generate insert message for the Object_2 and Object_2.1?
    What is the best technique? Is it possible to do it by workflow configuration or it needs to be done programmatically?
    Thanks,
    Dmitry

    Hi,
    integration events can be generated only via worklow. You will need to create separate workflows for each record type (regardless if it is child or parent) because a workflow for the parent record type will not trigger when a child record is created/ associated. Also, the association workflows will trigger only when the specific event occurs.
    There is not way to generate the integrtaion events programatically. They are generated by workflows and are read/ interpreted by a code extension.

  • Mail messages disappear - just a blank mail message for all emails

    Mail messages disappear - just a blank mail message for all emails.
    This happens sporadically since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2.
    It happens on all of my machines (Macbook Air, + iMacs) so it must be a software bug.
    Is there an update coming through for Mail?

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

  • How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

    I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
    I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
    i.e.
    if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
    <Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
    As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
    When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    I haven't tried this, but it should work:
    Make a new rule,
    If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
    Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
    In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.

  • How to exit full screen mode mail message

    Inexplicably, when i open messages in Mail, they appear in something like full screen mode.   The message viewer window is not in full screen mode, but if i open any message, the message takes up the whole screen. I can drag the message in order to see other things on the desktop, but i can't adjust the size of the window to the size i want, and see no way of exiting full screen mode. I lookd in Help, but it only shows how to enter Full Screen, not how to exit it. 
    In the View menu, there is an option to enter full screen.  When i have the full screen sized message open on top, the enter full screen option in the View menu is greyed out.  If i have the normal sized window for the message viewer window on top, the enter full screen is not grayed out and could be selected.  I do not select it since there appears to be no 'exit full screen' option that i can see and i don't want to multiply this problem.
    I know this might be a silly question, but if they have an enter full screen option, why wouldn't they also have an exit full screen option? 
    Or is there an exit full screen option which exists somewhere that i have not been able to find?  I've searched Apple Discussions and Google but so far have not found a way to un-full screen my Mail messages.  This started this morning.
    Can anyone help?  
    I do not know how it got into full screen mode.  It was not something i did deliberately or knowingly.
    i have tried quitting and restarting Mail but the full screen message mode returns. 
    How can i get my mail messages out of this very annoying and awkward screen hogging mode?
    I have only been using Mail since last November when i got a new MBP with Mountain Lion, which meant that for the first time since 1995, i could not use the simple straightforward faultless Eudroa anymore.  So i have had my struggles with Mail.  Trying to get through it.  This is the most recent of various similar issues, inexplicable problems without apparent solutions.  Sort of Microsoft-like.
    I will be really grateful for any help.. thanks

    Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.
