I'd like to put an e-mail like a reminder in iCal, as an event.

If I used paper I'd be stuffing scraps into a datebook. I love Mail.app and iCal, but I'm extremely frustrated at the lack of connection between the two--unless there is a clear data detector (like a date or time or a specific invitation).
Short of copying/pasting an e-mail into an iCal event, is there an elegant way to simply highlight text, add to iCal and edit the event?
Thanks,
Amy
PS -- I'd learn to do this in Automator if I could find a way as well.

Hi Amy,
The link between Mail and iCal is made by giving you an hyperlink on any recognized date within an email (and Mail is pretty good at this).  Clicking on this link will create an event in iCal.
As for reminder, you should give a try to the Reminder apps.  With this one, you can simply drag an email into it in order to create a reminder.  It will keep track of the email and allow you to reopen the email from the reminder.

  • How do put an e-mail icon on navigation bar?

    I am new to firefox & do not know how to get to my e-mail while on the browser. Can I put an e-mail icon on the browser somewhere that will start-up Outlook Express.

    Firefox hasn't had a feature like that for over 5 years now. You need to install this extension to get that functionality and the icon.

    Hi Ishrak,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are trying to log into with your Apple ID, or what exactly you are seeing (alert message, directions, etc) when you try to do so.

  • When I delete an e-mail, it automatically puts another e-mail in my inbox which says "no sender".  What am I doing wrong and how to get all these off my I-Pad?

    When I delete an e-mail, it automatically puts another e-mail in my inbox which reads "No Sender", thus I have numerous e-mails that have not really been deleted.  How can I delete all these e-mails and how to correct the issue of deleting e-mails?

    Here is one way of doing it. Left click on picture, list opens click on save as. In next window box apears save as type PNG(*.png). Then go to my pictures and print picture from there. I am not sure what print target is? That is in the list also. That may be how it is directly printed. Never used that short cut. Try it and see. I know for sure saving it to file works.

    Awesome. I REALLY appreciate this. Everything you said directed me to do all the right things. Thanks again. It really is nice not to have to type in my e-mail each time I log in to my frequently-visited sites.

  • Put certain e-mails on a CD for files to save

    Hi:
    I am trying to put certain e-mails (incoming & sent) onto
    a CD to burn.
    I tried to drag and Drop but they will not be accepted by the CD.
    I do not see anything obvious in any of the header items.
    thanks,
    Greg

    Hi Greg.
    Not sure whether this is what you want, but you can do File > Save As. Choose Raw Message Source as the format if you want to be able to import them back into Mail or any other mail client.

  • Icloud will not let me put new e-mail address into Outlook Address book

    iCloud went and put all e-mail address into my Outlook address book well iCloud duplacated some of the address and when I went to clean them I deleted a few address so when I went to reinstall the address in my address book icloud would not let me install them.

    Your contacts will be removed from your phone when you delete the account. Then (when you sign in again with your new ID) they will be put back.

  • How do i get my photos to stream to my iPad in the events that were oringally created.  Right now they are streaming as photos and are not grouped at all.  I would like to get them back into the events that were originally created

    Hi..
    Thanks for the reply..
    My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
    My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
    Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
    I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
    So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
    I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386
    but it doesn't help me..

  • How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

    How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
    When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • How to I get rid of a "footnote-like" number by my iCal icon?

    Suddently I have a "footnote-like" number by my iCal icon.  I have my calendar items color coded and the "footnote" also shows up when I open my calendar.  I don't know how the footnote got there or how to get rid of it.

    The footnote is by my tasks identified with a blue color.  I unchecked all of the other calendars and then looked through my calendar at all of the blue items.  I didn't find anything like a "meeting invitation."  I searched the calendar for "invitation," but that didn't result in anything.

  • Mail Generation during Reminder date

    Hi SAP guru,
    This is my requirement, I have maintained the 0041-Date specification and 0019 monitoring of task infotype, As per the dynamic action for 0019 - monitoring of task infotype, the reminder date should check with system date if both are same it should trigger the  mailing activities, where it suppose to shoot up mail as per standard text for mail connection.
    where i have given the dynamic action coding:
    0019     01          06     1           "SEND MAIL TO REMIND DATE"
    0019     01          06     2     P     P0019-MNDAT>SYDATUM
    0019     01          06     3     P     P0001-SACHP='001'
    0019     01          04     4     M     M0019
    where as mailing feature which i configure is ok.
    Now i had a problem of whenever i created the monitoring of task the reminder date is lesser or higher or even equal it is triggering mail of m0019, where it should not happen, it suppose to generate mail only when reminder date and system date are equal.
    Guru some where in dynamic action coding i did a mistake, can any one throw a light on this.
    Thanks,
    Shreya.

    Shreya- Try this
    0019 01 06 1 P P0019-MNDAT=SYDATUM
    0019 01 06 2 M M0019
    Hope this helps

  • How do I put junk e-mail in the junk mail box on my iPad automatically like it does on iMac?

    Does anyone know how to get junk mail to go into the junk mailbox on an iPad like it does on the iMac?

    That is a function of your email providers server when it comes to iOS. The mail client does not have any way to create and run rules.

  • How to put smartform in mail body

    Hi colleagues,
    I would like to send a mail with content build from a SMARTFORM.  I call the smartform function module and get the corresponding OTF file,  but I did not succeed to put it in a readable way in the mail body.
    How ot get the smartform as mail body?
    My body contains this kind of data, if I do the conversion to PDF:
