How to organise Mail contacts & preview all attachments as icon?

Hi,
2 quick questions,
1) When i attach photos or pdfs or whatever to the mail, they show up as previews in the text body...I can right click and select view as icon, but this is a pain when many are attached together. Any shortcut or settings change that can take care of this?
2) Can I delete some names from the pop up autocomplete contact list? Old email ids, one-time-never-again contacts etc. Basically want to organise the contacts list, preferaby a-la Facebook friends list so I can send mail in one click to FAMILY, college friends, sports gang etc..?
Thank you.

Dhruv, Not sure about question 1 but for #2 here's what you can do.
Go to Mail>Windows>Previous Recipients. In the pop up you can remove the any previous recipients and add others to your address book.
Once you have these in the address book, you can then create a smart group that points to the groups you want.
Hope this helps

  • Force Mail (Yosemite) to display all attachments as icons all the time?

    In Yosemite, I need to get rid of Mail's previews of attachments that appear in outgoing email as the previews seem to cause problems for some of my mail recipients. How can I force Mail to display all attachments as icons? Currently the only way is to right click each attachment every time - it's a waste of time to do this all day long.

    Mail only previews single-page documents. They should be simply an attachment to the recipient. If they are problematic, then be sure you select the Edit menu, Attachments > Always send Windows friendly .... If there is still a problem then compress the attachment before sending it - CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Compress from the context menu.

    How to migrate Mail & Contacts from backup disk of old PPC iMac (10.3.9) to new iMac (10.8.1)? 
    The Firewire disk is connected and have been able to copy across document folders etc, but Migration Assistant doesn't find the disk so that method no good.  Any help appreciated.

    Thanks, that looks very comprehensive.  Wish I'd seen it before completing Set-Up Assistant initially!  Will follow his instructions and report back.

  • ITunes for Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Live Mail Contacts not (all?) syncing

    I have researched this as much as I can but cannot find a solution.
    I had my iPhone 4 synced to my Window Vista Home Premium PC using iTunes just fine until January when the PC motherboard crashed. No data was lost and all contacts have been restored to my new PC with is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). My contacts are in Windows Live Mail (Windows Contacts) and I'm syncing via iTunes with "Sync Contacts with: Windows Contacts" selected.
    However, not all contacts are syncing with my iPhone. In fact, I'm not sure they are syncing at all, although the sync function goes through. It may be that the only ones that sync are those that existed before the new PC (i.e., the Windows Vista contacts which were in Windows Mail). I have created new contacts on both the PC using the new version Windows Live Mail and on the iPhone since the crash, and would like to get them synced up.
    Symptoms:
    1) Some specific contacts on PC are not on the iPhone after multiple sync attempts.
    I have so far positively identified one contact that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts, however it does NOT show up in my Windows username/Contacts folder!
    2) One Contacts group on PC is not on the iPhone, although two others are (they probably were from before the crash).
    I have so far positively identified one group that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts groups, however it does NOT show up in my Contacts folder as a .group file!
    3) The same group as #2 also does NOT show up in the iTunes group list under "Selected Groups" on iTunes, but the other two groups do. (I do not use "selected groups" because that disables "all contacts" syncing, but the groups are visible grayed out on the list.)
    4) As a test, I created a new contact on my iPhone, synced, and it shows up now in Windows Live Mail Contacts; it also shows up in my Windows username/Contacts folder.
    5) As a test, I created a new contact in Windows Live Mail and it does NOT show up in my username/Contacts folder. I synced the iPhone again and it does NOT show up on my iPhone contacts.
    OK folks, where are these missing contacts going and how can I get them synced??  Thanks!
    PS: I have the latest iTunes 10.5.3.3, no updates are available. However, Apple Support/iTunes seems to suggest Windows 7 64 bit either "does not use Windows Contacts" (which seemed quite wrong until I ran the tests above), and also that Windows 7 64 requires iTunes 10.4.1, which I cannot install because I have a later version installed. I would have assumed the correct version installed for my OS when I installed iTunes on the new PC. iTunes runs fine by itself and in coordination with my iPhone other than the above issue.
    PPS: This site seems potentially relevant, however is highly technical: http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-databas e/
    but doesn't help with this problem.

    I didn't get any help on this from the forum, but from studying around and experimenting with different approaches, I have come up with the following conclusions:
    Under Windows Vista, Windows Mail synced its contacts with Windows Contacts [which are in c:\users\username\contacts]. iPhone via iTunes synced with Windows Contacts. Changes to either Windows Mail Contacts or iPhone contacts would always update each other. Life was good.
    Under Windows 7, Windows LIVE Mail (WLM) does NOT sync its contacts with Windows Contacts. It puts them into a hidden database. If you have prior Windows Contacts and brought them along for the ride, they are still there in the folder but they are not connected to the WLM contacts database
    When you first set up Windows Live Mail, you can import your Windows Contacts and they appear to be synced. (In fact, they are, but only at that single point in time.)
    If you change any Windows Live Mail contact or add a new one, it does NOT change in Windows Contacts. It only changes in the WLM contacts database. It therefore does NOT sync to your iPhone.
    Similarly, if you change a contact on iPhone or add a new one, it will sync with Windows Contacts. However, this does NOT update your Windows Live Contacts.
    So, from what I can tell, here is what this means: to maintain a steady state, you have two choices:
    Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts [the Windows Contacts folder has a "New Contact" button], and they will stay in sync with each other. Then manually update or add it in Windows Live Contacts to keep those up to date so you can use them for e-mail.  OR
    Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts, and they will stay in sync with each other. DO NOT manually update Windows Live Contacts, but realize they are not always up to date. If an address needed for an e-mail is not in there, manually retrieve it from your Windows Contacts or your iPhone and insert it into the e-mail. [Having done that, you can right click on the address in the e-mail and add it to your WLM contacts if you want.] Periodically, manually delete all of your Windows Live Mail Contacts and then re-import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail and, voila, your contacts are in sync again! (Isn't that great, I mean really awful??)
    NOTE: If you follow course #2, DO NOT import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail contacts without deleting your existing Windows Live Mail contacts, or you will end up with a double set plus the new ones.
    FURTHER NOTE: I obviously can't make any guarantee you won't lose data if you follow course #2. Be sure you have a complete backup before deleting your WLM contacts. However, I will say that after experiencing a double set of WLM contacts (by failing to understand the first NOTE above), it was impossible to pick out the new items [WLM will now show you the date of entry or modification of the contact, so you can't sort by date], so I deleted all of them and re-imported my Windows Contacts and had a complete set again.
    AND ONE FINAL NOTE: I have not tested how any of this affects Windows Live Contacts used online outside of Windows Live Mail, because I do not use Windows Live online.
    Please post further comments if you have any more information on this topic.

  • XI: Mail - XI - File, all attachments in folder

    Hello Group!
    I am working on the following scenario: Mail -> XI -> File (XI NW2004 SP19)
    The mail adapter picks up the mails form the mail server and the file adapter should save the files to an existing folder. Basically the adapter works fine, but I have problems with attachments. The file adapter only save one file (the mail) to the folder. The attachments won´t be saved to the destination.
    Then I found the Module PayloadZipBean (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/45/da9358a1772e97e10000000a155369/frameset.htm). In the monitoring I can see all attachments in the payload. So I tried this module to zip all payload contents (as described in: /people/stefan.grube/blog/2007/02/20/working-with-the-payloadzipbean-module-of-the-xi-adapter-framework).
    But it doesn´t work. No zip file will be created. Do I have to install the PayloadZipBean?
    My settings:
    Reg. Parameter:
    Transport Protocoll: NFS
    Message Protocoll: File
    Adapter Engine: Integration Server
    File name scheme: example.zip  (it just works with .dat - but then only the mail)
    File construction mode: Add Counter
    Write mode: Directly
    File Type: binary
    Reg. Module:
    Nr____Module Name________________Type___________________Module Key
    1 - - - - AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean - - Local Enterprise Bean - - - - 1
    2 - - - - CallSapAdapter - - - - - - - - - - - - Local Enterprise Bean - - - - 0
    Module Key__Parameter Name__Parameter Value
    1 - - - - - - - - - zip.filenameKey - - contentType
    1 - - - - - - - - - zip.mode - - - - - - - zipAll
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Martin

    Hi Stefan!
    Hi Group!
    Now the PayloadZipBean works. The reason was, that I try to use variable substition. Without this, it works.
    But unfortunatelly, I need the variable substition. The name of the zip or of the target folder should have the name of the mail subject.
    In your great blog
    /people/stefan.grube/blog/2007/02/20/working-with-the-payloadzipbean-module-of-the-xi-adapter-framework
    you use no variable substitution. Do you know how to handle it?
    When I use the variable substitution, the following error appears:
    com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: Error during variable substitution:
    com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException:
    Caught SAXException while parsing XML payload: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser:
    No data allowed here: (hex) 50, 4b, 3(:main:, row:1, col:3)</
    Settings of variable substituion:
    File name scheme: %subject%.zip
    Variable substitution: subject = payload:Mail,1,Subject,1
    (this works without the PayloadZipBean)
    In my opinion, the reason is the order of module and adapter.
    At first, the module PayloadZipBean starts to zip all payloads in one zip. Then the file adapter starts and tries to use the variable substitution. But then there is no access to the first payload anymore --> error.
    Does you or somebody else know, how to handle this?
    Maybe there is a better solution without the PayloadZipBean. I just want to save all mail attachments to a file system with the name of the mail subject. Unfortunately with the file adapter only the first payload will be saved to the file system - maybe there is a better solution.
    Thanks,
    Martin

  • How to get mail accounts in all profiles?

    Hi, I setup 4 users in my imac, one for each family member. I setup the email accounts under my profile and when my wife logs in, the mail prog wants her to go thru the same process again. How do I copy the mail accounts from under my profile to all the users so everyone can access the email program without having to reenter the email user names, passwords, etc....for all 4 users on the imac?
    Thanks

    *"How do I copy the mail accounts from under my profile to all the users so everyone can access the email program without having to reenter the email user names, passwords, etc....for all 4 users on the imac?"*
    You don't. Besides, if you could, in less time than it takes you to migrate the settings you could have already entered them into each of the other 3 user accounts. Heck, you could have done all that and have everyone up and running while you're waiting for a response on this forum.
    Just curious why you would set them all up under your account in the first place...???

  • How do I convert email and all attachments into pdf?

    I have multiple emails with attachments that need to be converted to PDF.  Using Adobe Pro 11 I can create an email that is pdf with the attachments embedded in their original format, but not as pdf.  I can "un-embed" the attachments and convert to pdf, but I really would like to do it all at once.  I used another program previously that worked pretty well, but now the powers that be decided that we could no longer use it as it was not supported.
    After selecting a group of emails, here is what I would like to be able to produce:
    1) Each email is put into an individual folder. In each folder is a pdf of the email, and a pdf of each of the attachments.
    2) Each email and its attachments is converted with the attachments becoming part of the file - producing a long pdf document with the email message followed  by the attachments. I was able to do this using the program Message Export which we no longer support.
    3) Each email becomes a pdf and the attachments become embedded after they were converted to pdf files.
    Any ideas are welcome.  Below is what I am currently able to produce.
    Thanks.
    Kevin
    Example:  Email message below has multiple file types
    I can convert it to PDF, but the attachments stay in their original format, and I need them to be converted to pdf.

  • Adding external mail contacts to a distribution group seems to randomly add the user instead of the mail contact

    I've added a external mail contact for all my mailbox users because all the users have other jobs and other external email addresses.  Since these users don't normally log on to my domain to get email, I need to create a distribution list with all their
    external email addresses.  I've scripted the creation of all the external mail contacts, from the mailbox users and I use AD's Notes field to contain the users external address. When using add-DistributionGroupMember and supplying the external mail
    contact email address as the "-Member" param, about half of the time the users mailbox user gets added to the group instead of the external contact.  I don't see any arguments to tell add-DistributionGroupMember to use only mail contacts.
    1) I don't even know how it's finding the mailbox user because I'm supplying an external email address which is only in the external mail contact.
    2) Some members of the group are correctly added as external contacts, some are mailbox users.
    3) I only want the external mail contacts in the group
    If it helps, here's the line that I use to add members to the group. I've tried mail enabling the mail contacts, no help...
    Add-DistributionGroupMember–identity“AltEveryone”–member(get-QADuser$_.Name).Notes 
    Thanks for any help.

    You should ask questions like this in the Exchange forum.  It is not a scripting question but is a product behavior question.
    You cannot add an external contact without first creating the contact first.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • I cannot access my email options when in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    When I go into Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars, all my mail accounts are greyed out and I cannot access them. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? Been going on for a month or so now.
    Thanks

    Well, you or someone had to enable restrictions. If you can't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes to remove it. All data on your phone will be lost. Since the restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup, restoring from backup will merely restore the restrictions passcode.

  • Google added as Exchange Account (mail, contacts, cal), issues with contact #'s resolving to Names.

    Google added as exchange account (mail, contacts, calendar), all works except contact correlation. Meaning somebody calls me, it's in the contact list but does not show name just the #. Same for outbound calls..search contacts, tap #, phone shows I'm dialing # versus contact name. This is completely goofy. I had a previous emplorers Exchange account working perfectly before I had to delete it. I removed all email accounts from iPhone and started fresh with adding Google as Exchange 'type' account.

    Ok I fixed this problem. Within Google under contacts I had imported 1,200+ contacts and they all showed up there, on my iPad and iPhone. But on the phone name and # would not correlate. I discovered that by editing a contact (within Google contacts page) it would mark it as 'My Contacts' in addition to being Imported on xx/xx/xx. Once I did this, magically my iphone call log would display the name of the contact I edited/reclassified as 'My Contacts'. So I reclassified all the contacts as 'My Contacts' and now have full functionality. End of **** story and hope this helps somebody else.

    How can i import my e-mail contacts? i don´t want to type one at a time.  Is there a way to import all at once?

    Sync your old address book with the one on the iPod.  You may have to import them into an intermediate address book like Google contacts since that can be done by importing a file you should be able to export for your address book.  Without know your old address book that is all I can say.
