How to flag Mail Messages in iOS5?

My Mail messages in iOS5 don't reflect the flagged status in mail. Trying to flag them on the iPhone's Mail clinet by selecing "edit" should (apparently) offer me a choice to delete, mark (as unread/read) or Flag. I just get a choice of Mark or Delete - No flagging option, no flags showing on any of my messages. I'm using 10.7.2 and iOS5 (natch) on an iPhone 4 - Anyone got this to work or am I missing some hideous, glaring ommission?
Thanks

Firstly, thanks to Anthony - Can't believe I missed that one. While the way to flag messages is resolved for me now on my iCloud/Me account, the fact that none of my flags are reflected on my Exchange account is not, and sadly that is the account which I use for about 95% of my mails; it was really the only thing I really needed from iOS5 - All the rest is handy, but not critical. Selecting "Mark" on an Exchange message simply offers the option to mark as read - There's no flag option. If I select a message sent to my .me address, I get the mark as read option, as-well as flag.
So, I'm wondering if this is a setting server-side, or to do with the version of Exchange server being run, as there's nothing in the OS I can see in the way of options. I'm tempted to delete the account and re-create it, but waiting for it to download all those messages again (and potentially screw up syncing, which it has done in the past) is putting me right off the idea. I didn't have the calendars, to-dos or contacts set to sync with Exchange (never use them) so I tried turning them on, but no difference.
If anyone with a bit of Exchange knowledge has any input or ideas, I'd appreciate the help.
Cheers

I had the same problem. I found a work around by setting up an imap account to my exchange server for email and using the other to only sync calendar, contacts and reminders. The only issue with that is that you have to fetch your email. It won't push.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how to copy mail messages found in spotlight to a folder?

I can select all, but the copy is grayed out.

Type the search criteria in Spotlight.
Click "Show All".
Click "Kind" to arrange the results by kind, which will group all mail messages together.
Select them all and drag to the folder you want, holding the OPTION key. Otherwise you'll just move them.
Can you explain what are you trying to achieve?
There's a lot you can do inside Mail, separate messages by keywords, subject, sender etc. move them to separate folders... So maybe doing it in mail automatically would be a better option for you.

How to restore mail messages and address book?

Recently the hard drive on my eMac failed. The drive would no longer mount. Fortunately, my entire user folder has been recovered. While I see the files such as AddressBook.data and Incoming_Mail they are showing up as generic documents. I can't seem to import these files or open them with their respective applications (Address Book and Mail). How can I restore these previous messages and prior address book? I want to add this recovered data to the new address book and mailboxes that I have created in the interim after the hard drive crashed and I began using another Mac.
17" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the new version of Mail is not recognizing the mbox files and therefore I can't import them.
Again, this is wrong. Not only does Mail 2.x recognize Mail 1.x mailboxes, but can import them as either Mail for Mac OS X or as Other. The exact procedure is slightly different in each case.
I need a way to bring these old mbox message files into Tiger.
And I need that you explain what exactly it is that you’re doing and what exactly is the problem in order to be able to determine what exactly it is that you’re doing wrong...

How to export mail message body data detectors information, not address bok

Is there anyway to export Apple mail's "data detectors" information within the message body other than to the address book? I don't want to export the other non detector information contained in the body of the message. I would also like to include From, Subject and Date. Preferably the export result would be in a organized comma format.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

James,
Two routes to try come to mind, the first being Applescript. Mail is obviously "aware" of the info contained in the detectors, and of course it knows all about what is contained in the header. You can probably use Applescript to extract the desired data, placing it in a Text Edit document. It has been some time since I haves used Applescript myself, so I won't be much help in guiding you. Regardless, you would need to teach yourself how to use Applescript, even with assistance.
The other route to take would be to drag these emails out of Mail to the Finder, creating standard text files. You could then handle them in one of the command line text editors- scripted, of course- to extract and format the needed data. Again, this is something you'd need to explore on your own.
Since these messages all have the same formatting, it is simply a matter of identifying the data you need, then placing that data in a properly formatted text document. Generally speaking, this is part and parcel of what both Applescript be text editors do.

How to send mail after downloading iOS5 onto iPhone 4?

Hello
While setting up iOS 5.0 i was alerted my home POP email was needing verification for my existing ME account, even though I'd never used home POP account before. I did verify it and have both it (in Canada a Telus service provider '[email protected]') and my existing ME account verified.
I am able to send mail on iphone with Me account but not with Telus account.
I rebooted both computer and phone, deleted and re-set up Telus account on iPhone, and still not able to send mail.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I have the same problem. The downoad went smoothly with no errors displayed. My phone updated just fine, all my apps appeared and nothing was lost. The phone with iOS5 worked perfectly for about two hours and suddenly, nothing. No home+lock button combo, no home button, no response when placed on a charger, my computer won't even recognize that a device has been plugged in. This is horribly frustrating, especially considering how much searching I had to do just to find out that someone else had this problem. I hope mine wakes up for a second in the morning at least.
Does anyone know what to do about this?

HT2500 How to archive mail messages outside the mail app, like in an external drive?

can you please explain how to archive messages in an external drive,? Thank you

Hello, If you have 2 Macs with Firewire, bot the 10.3 one into FireWire target disk mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Then use Mail on the other one to Import.
If that isn't possible then I think this is the same for 10.3 as 10.4 & up...
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
As an aside, what is best way to delete all private data a Mac Cube G4 in order to sell it.
Best is to erase the whole disk with zero one pass then reinstall.

There is a bug when doing “export mailbox” and import mailbox functionality.
Workaround:
> Open Finder and under the “Go” menu, hold down the option key. The “Library” sub-menu will show up.
> Copy the entire “Library > Mail” folder to a USB disk (it will not work if copying to a shared drive for some reason)
> Take the USB disk to the new computer and do an “Import Mailbox” and select the copied Data file. There will be LOTS of folders that come up for import, you can browse through and deselect what you don’t need (e.g. trash or junk mail), OR just import everything and then clean up from your mailbox.
> The imported folders will show up in mail under the “On My Mac” area.

How do I delete Gmail messages in iOS5

I have my Gmail account set up to push (as an Exchange account) to my iPhone 4S. Unfortunatley no matter how I try to delete email messages they are always placed in the All Mail folder, and I never see them in the trash. Has anyone had any luck deleteing Gmail messages from iOS5?

I just figured this one out. Go into settings/mail, contacts, calendars. Under the Accounts section choose Gmail. Then there should be an "Archived Messages" slide switch...it's on by default, slide it to off and you should be able to delete either by swiping to the left when you are in the "Inbox" view. If you are actually reading the message at the bottom there will now be a "trash can" icon to delete the mail. You should be good to go now.

How do flagged emails in iOS Mail app sync with Gmail Starred emails?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how the "Flagged" mailbox on iOS mail interacts with Gmail's "starred" messages. It seems that messages that I star on Gmail and then archive do not show up in the Flagged mailbox on iOS, and that only starred messages that are still in my inbox show up. Is that correct? DOes anyone know a workaround to get starred and archived messages to show up?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but the Gmail app is not the solution. I have three different accounts, and I want to have just one folder where all my flagged/starred emails are collated. I don't want to be jumping between different accounts.

Can I flag while composing a Mail message?

In Mail, I've set up a Smart Folder called "Awaiting Response". When I send out a Mail message which I want to track for response, I go into the Sent folder and flag it. The criteria for the "Awaiting Response" are Sent and Flagged.
This would be easier if I could flag the message while I'm composing it (so I wouldn't have to send it and then go into the Sent folder to flag it) but while composing a message I see that Mark/As Flagged is grayed out.
Is there any other way I can flag a message so it goes automatically into this smart folder?
(I tried putting a unique string in the subject line, but then all the replies that keep that subject go into the smart folder as well, and I didn't want that.)
Thanks in advance ...

Roger,
I'm not sure how you would easily accomplish this just using Mail. But I want to make sure you know about MailTags, a wonderful mail add-on that makes this very easy.
When I'm writing a mail I can instantly "tag" it as "action", "waiting" or any other category I want to assign, and with smart folders set up it will go to the right place.
MailTags also allows you do to much more, like attach notes to your received mail, create to dos/calendar events easily...it's really a worthwhile investment at $30.

In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

So, I have found the article
http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
I create a custom list.
I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option? Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
Thank you!

Hi lwvirden,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
Copy and Modify button.
Best regards.
Thanks

How to set iPhone so Mail messages in inbox disappear after being downloaded to Mail on my MacBook Pro

Hi -
Previously, the Mail settings on my iPhone and MacBook Pro were set exactly as I wanted them to be: If I opened a Mail message on my phone, it stayed in the inbox only until I opened the Mail App on my MacBook Pro, at which time it downloaded onto the notebook and disappeared from the iPhone. This is how I want it, as I have no need for duplicate emails in multiple locations.
I recently had to reformat the hard drive on the MascBook Pro and reinstall all the software and data. Unfortunately, I was not able to save the Mail preferences, and now my Mail App works differently: Mail messages remain on both the iPhone and the Mac, and if I delete a message on one device it also disappears from the other.
Can anyone help me to figure out how to get the settings and preferences back to the way they were originally? Thanks for any information anyone can provide.
Shelly

Are you using Mac Mail - the icon that looks like a stamp?
If yes, you can create Mailboxes. (click on Mailbox in the menu bar and select New Mailbox...) These are folders and are visible in Mail.
You store the mail you wish to archive in appropriate folders.

I accidently deleted a voice mail message. Is there any way to retrieve it? I was told I had to reset my password since I entered the wrong one three times.

Depends on your carrier. You'll have to contact your carrier for how to do this. (This is for AT&T: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=52649#fbid=WLddP4KyTAu.)
