How to lock a single email?

Hello everybody over there. I wonder how can I lock a single email in Mail? I need to lock a three-month account paper sent by my bank because my Mac is used by my girlfriend as well. Any idea?

There is no way included in Mac OS X to prevent anyone who has access to your user account from seeing any given message in Mail. If you don't want your girlfriend reading specific email messages, it's probably most practical to just save them somewhere outside of Mail and delete them from Mail. Or as has been suggested give her a separate Mac OS X user account and then log out of yours when you're not using your computer.
And no, there's no way to prevent Spotlight from being able to find any given file in a user account unless you place that file in a secure disk image or use another security utility such as Espionage which says it can also lock mail, though I don't know if can lock a single message (I think it only locks folders which would mean it possible could lock a mailbox, but not just a single message).
Regards.
There is a way to prevent Spotlight from searching single locations and that is through System Preferences>Spotlight>Privacy. I added the mailbox wherein that email currently is. I thought I could lock an email as I can with any folder on my Mac. Espionage is nice, but you are right as it only locks folders, not single messages.
Thank you.

  • How to lock my Primary Email Address

    Hey there I have had my skype account hacked more than 5 times and Skype didnt give a **bleep** about it and i had to create a new account.
    My impersonator has scammed more than $500 from my clients.
    Is there anyway that I could lock the primary email address so that no one including myself can change it later... No more emails should be added/activated in my account. So that i can edit the password once more if the hacker attempts to hack me again.

  • How to delete a single email address from Mail?

    Hello,
    I am asking this question for my mom who is 80 years old. We both use Mac's, but for email, I'm on Entourage so I am unable to help her with her Mac Mail question.
    Recently, I signed up for MobileMe, and a few of my emails to her came from my new MobileMe address (which I do not want to use for email---I am using MobileMe for other things). So now that the MobileMe address is somehow "in" her Mail program, whenever she writes a new email to me, it defaults to my MobileMe address. She can't remember to check what the address is every time she sends an email (she's 80 years old!)---she just wants to be able to type my name ("Andy") and have it go to the same Comcast address that it has always gone to.
    I've played around with my Mail application, but since I'm unfamiliar with it, I don't know what to tell her. Is there a way to get that MobileMe address of mine OUT of her computer so it won't keep sneaking in there like that?
    Thank you very much!
    PS: She is using a MacBook with 10.5.something.....

    Great--thank you! I will give her this information in the morning and see what happens. Oh how I hope this fixes it.

  • How to send a single email to all recipients at one time

    Hi,
    With JavaMail, is there any way to send an email to several recipients at once time
    instead of calling Transport.send() one by one? You may state why not use
    address like "[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]".
    Because I want to have a single recipient address appeared on the "Address To"
    field on email instead of showing all recipients addresses on the "Address To" field.
    Thanks for your attention in advance,
    Raymond

    If you don't want all the recipients to see each other's addresses (and that's often what you do want), put that list into the BCC address and not the To address.

  • How to attach multiple small voice memos to a single email?

    Hi folks,
    I am wondering if there is a way to send multiple voice memos in a single email directly from either iPhone or iPad?
    Here's my issue.. I need to submit some anti-social noise evidence to my local housing office as I have a very big problem with my upstairs neighbour, so I have been trying to figure out how to send more than one voice clip in a single email. I only want to add maybe three or four but it is proving more of a problem than I realised. The clips are all pretty short, just around the 1 minute mark each, and were all recorded using the iPhone 5S built in voice memo app. I have been able to iMessage and email them individually to myself with no problem and they then show up in my messages app on both my iPad 4 and my iPhone, but for the life of me I cannot figure a way to attach more than one clip to a single email message. Do I need to transfer them to my PC to be able to attach more than one in a single email? If so, I believe I will have to lose all of my music from my device and start over with that too because I currently sync all of that stuff manually?
    Seems like this should really be a lot more of a simpler process than it is..
    Both devices are running on iOS 8.1.2.
    I would appreciate any information or advice please.
    Many thanks for your time.

  • How to send multiple emails (more than 100...)  to a single email address ?

    Hi folks,
    I'm new here and that's my first topic in this forum, so I would be very glad if someone could help me on my problem.
    I'm currently in the process to open my own business. Next week I should get access to my new email account (with my own domain). However, I have already ca. 300 emails on my private email account which are related to my new company, which I have to forward to my new email address.
    Question: *How can i forward multiple (or selected) emails to a single address without packaging them into one email* (1st problem: this email would become too large and 2nd: it wouldn't be very useful to search for a particular content in only 1 large, single email). How do I have to use the Automator to automatize that process?
    Many thanks for your help!

    One way to solve your problem:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY multiple_dept_pkg IS
       PROCEDURE multiple_dept (VARR_DEPT   IN     t_deptno,
                                P_result       OUT SYS_REFCURSOR) IS
       dept_str varchar2(4000) default null;
       BEGIN
          FOR i IN VARR_DEPT.FIRST .. VARR_DEPT.LAST LOOP
             dept_str:=','||varr_dept(i)||','||dept_str||',';
          END LOOP;
          OPEN P_result FOR
                SELECT *
                  FROM EMP
                 WHERE instr(dept_str,','||deptno||',') >0;
       END;
    END;
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
    VARIABLE result REFCURSOR
    DECLARE
       p_OTS_REC    multiple_dept_pkg.t_deptno;
       result_out   SYS_REFCURSOR;
    BEGIN
       p_OTS_REC (1) := 10;
       p_OTS_REC (2) := 20;
       p_OTS_REC (3) := 30;
       multiple_dept_pkg.multiple_dept (p_OTS_REC, result_out);
       :result := result_out;
       COMMIT;
    END;
    PRINT result;
    Cheers,

  • How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

    How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
    address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
    from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

    Hi All,
    I have three scripts for extracting permissions at server,database & object level.Now how do i can execute all three queries and send multiple attachments in a single email using sp_senddbmail.I have done this before for single queries but not multiple
    queries. Kindly suggest.
    Regards
    Rahul

    Hi All,
    The requirement was that i had three different queries for listing permissions at server,database and object level.I wanted to build an solution to email results in attachment to user.
    However i have managed to do this with SSIS Package.I was curious to know if it can be done without SSIS.
    Thanks you all for your time and effort for this.
    Rahul
    It can be done without SSIS
    Just have a procedure to return  three query results as a single resultset. Then use sp_send_dbmail to execute query and send results as a email

    Are you referring to 2 iTunes accounts/Apple ID's? If so you can't, all purchases are tied to each Apple ID so if you need to say reload an app or update, it would be with that account. 

  • How do I lock a single cell or row or column

    how do I lock a single cell or row or column

    Can't. Only the whole table can be locked.
    A semi-workaround is to place a clear textbox over the cell and lock the textbox.  The user can't click on the cell but they can still navigate to it using the keyboard. They can also move the table around to get to the cell.  So it is not a great workaround but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

  • How do I search the content inside a single email?

    I'm new to the iPad with the recent purchase of my iPad 3. I enjoy using Apple's Mail app. And I know how to search the contents of "all emails. "But how do I search the text content of a particular email? I am talking about one single email here. Again, I know how to search ALL emails -- I'm not asking about that. How do I search the content of just one email?
    This is a logical question, but I'm surprised no one is asking it. Sometimes we receive long emails. And we want to search for a keyword within that given long email. So how do we do that on the iPad with Apple's Mail?
    Thank you.

    Sorry, but you don't as it's not a feature of the Mail app on iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.
    I guess the reason you don't see lot's of inquiries on this is there's not demand for this particular feature, but feel free to leave feedback with Apple, via the following link:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How to granularly lock down corporate email from syncing to icloud

    Need to allow users to have icloud for personal space but lock down corporate email, contacts and calendars from syncing.  Have MDM product and tried iphone config tool but both are all or nothing.  Anyone have luck doing this?

    Hi,
    I just purchased a 2nd I-phone, 1 for my son, and now me. Please dont kill the messenger but I'd like to add to this string and get your advice:) I too today only have 1 I-tunes account and my son was syncing with this I-tunes account and also turned on I-cloud for backups. I now will use my I-phone for checking corporate e-mail, i.e exchange, I have over 1000 contacts, lots of calender meetings in a given day, etc. When I 1st plugged my I-phone into the "same" I-tunes account computer and enabled I-cloud on my new phones I now have all of my sons games, and his contacts, which I really dont want to see on a corporate phone.
    What is the best suggestion you can provide to seperate personal data from corporate data?
    Should we use Fredrickfromvacaville suggestions above?
    1) turn off I-cloud email, contacts, calendar
    2) or create another I-tunes account for the corporate user I-phone
    Can you provide any guidance on which one would be better over the other?
    Thanks,
    alffy

  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.
