Individual mailboxes for .mac mail

I love this software. The only thing i'm trying to figure out is how to create individual mailboxes for each alias I've created. I would love to have each alias mail delivered to its appropriate box. If you can give some feedback on this topic I'd really apreciate it.
Thanks

Assuming you are referring to a .Mac account alias email address, messages addressed to your .Mac email alias will arrive in your .Mac account inbox which cannot be changed. All mailboxes under Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer are created and managed automatically by Mail.
You can create an "On My Mac" location mailbox for each alias email address and then create a Rule in Mail to automatically transfer messages addressed to an alias email address to the designated mailbox for the address but none of these mailboxes will be located under Inbox in the mailboxes drawer.

Return receipt plug in for Mac Mail software?

Return receipt for Mac OSX 10.4.6 build in email software “Mail” 2.0.7 (746.2/749.3) 2005 Apple Inc.
Is there a return receipt plug in for Mac Mail software? I want to know if my sent mail was received and know if the mail was opened.

Kboo,
in general not a good idea. This may cause loops with Out-of-Office responders and also not a very trustworthy confirmation.
Options are to use certified email servers as an intermediate (google to find many) or to request explicitly a written reply from the recipient.

Where can I find free Christmas stationery for Mac Mail version 6.2?

Where can I find free Christmas stationery for Mac Mail version 6.2 on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.2??? Everything I've tried to download is from 2008-2009 and isn't compatible.
~Patty

Dear sig,
Thank you for responding. When I Googled, I received a list of suggested web sites, but they were all posted in 2008-2009 and, when I downloaded the application, they were not compatible with OS 10.8.2 and/or Mail 6.2. I did find an app in the App Store called "Stationery for Mail" for $6.99 (less expensive than equinux or ipresentee) that had one Christmas email template and several others for other occasions/seasons. I purchased that one so that I'd have at least one email template to use for now, but I'd love to find more templates for future use that are FREE.
I can't believe Apple hasn't created more email stationery templates for download (freeware) on its web site. I can find screensavers and wallpapers, but nothing for Mail.
If you or anyone else finds or knows of a website with FREE email stationery templates for Mail 6.2, please let me know.
Thank you!

I have installed OS Maverick 10.9 and now find titles are included for mac mail addressees. That is, I get Dr John Brown instead of John Brown. That did not happen before. How do I suppress the title?

I have installed OS Mavericks 10.9 and now find that Mac Mail includes titles for addressees. Thus, it shows 'Dr John Brown' instead of 'John Brown'. I have had the same problem with suffixes with earlier versions and solved that by deleting all suffixes from my address book. I don't want to have to do that for titles. How can I keep the titles in my address book but have them not show for Mac Mail addressess?

I have the opposite problem, Barry ... now only the eMail address shows ... no name at all, even though I type it in!

The inbox for Mac Mail lists every incoming message twice. When I delete a message it deleted both entries. I have tried the solution in "help" and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I am wondering if anyone is seeing my question? This is my first time and I am not sure if I am communicating correctly. If you are seeing the question above regading deleted messages reappearing please reply so I will at least know I am getting the message out.
Thank you.

Outgoing SMTP for Mac Mail Authentication (none or password)?

i have had to set up a test account due to some corruption issues and i have a new temporary password for iCloud.
and i am in the outgoing SMTP > ADVANCED section of mail.
does anyone know if i set up a SMTP server for Mac Mail as having an authentication set to "none" or set to "password" and whether this password should be my new temp pass?

If your ISP requires POP before SMTP authentication which requires checking the account's incoming mail server for new mail before being able to send with the account's SMTP server (checking the account for new mail should be required once per session only), then authentication for the SMTP server should be set to None.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the account information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Setting button below.
If Password is selected for SMTP authentication, change it to None and test if this resolves the problem.
If None is selected and your ISP requires password authentication for their SMTP server, select Password and enter the account's user name and password required for the authentication.

But you can see the mailbox listed under "On My Mac"???

Yes. If I attempt a Get Info on the mailbox I get nothing.

Smtp auth. fails for Mac mail but ok for netscpae mail ???

Hello all,
I am having some persistent problems with SMTP authentication to send mail from my Mac via my ISP onto the internet.
What DOES work:
1. sending and receiving mail from my current ISP account using Netscape mail.
2. receiving mail from my ISP account using Mac mail
What DOES NOT work:
3. sending mail via my ISP using Mac Mail. The error message is that the SMTP authentication failed.
Yes, I checked the mail port (25) and the smtp address (in plain text ascii)
Has anyone had a similar problem, where Mac mail failes, but another mail tool succeeds? Has anyone succeeded at getting it to work for Mac mail?
Thanks,
Ary

Hi, the easiest way with OSX Mail is to have a Folder/Window of Emoticons open the just drag & drop into the eMail you're composing

Emoticons for mac mail

Does anybody know where I can get emoticons (smiley faces) for mac mail?
Too bad mac mail doesn't have that feature, one that stupid pc email software has build in.

They are easy enough to google for.
In Mail you have to add them as attachments.

Adding a new mailbox in MAC Mail not working

Where is the discussion for mac mail

They list virtually all other apps, itunes, safari etc. but there is no forum for the mail application. I see people have all kinds of problems with it but those don['t seem to be gathered under any specific heading where you can look for them or where it would be logical to post a question.
I have a macbook air, so that is why I'm here. I could also be in Snow Leopard because I'm running 10.6.8.
I'm running Mail 4.5 (eer I was running)
this is the second time in a few months that mail had trouble shuting down - I chose quit and it ground away for a while but never quit and I had to force quit it and now it can't find its mailboxes and when I launch it it wants to walk me through the setup app. the last time I did this it made all new mailboxes and I never got things right again even when I told it where the old mailboxes were.
How can I just skip the setup nonsense and launch the program and relink it to the mailboxes which are in the library folder for my user identity?
thanks,
brian
and PS - what is up with this forum. I click on "forgot my apple ID" (which I always have) and it keeps offering as a result to reset my password instead of telling me what my applie ID is. I don't want to reset my password, I know that, I forgot my friggin ID. Then I have to spend untold tries trying to remember what it is.

From the main page, click on the link with the title of the OS version you're using, such as Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.

Applescript for Mac Mail Email Addresses

Hey guys,
Bit of help with scripting here would be awesome:
I have been trying to collate all the email addresses located in my Mac Mail accounts. To do this I have used the following in Applescript:
tell application "Mail"
set selectionMessage to selection -- just select the first message in the folder
set thisMessage to item 1 of selectionMessage
set theseMessages to (every message in (mailbox of thisMessage))
repeat with eachMessage in theseMessages
set theFrom to (extract address from sender of eachMessage)
do shell script "echo " & quoted form of theFrom & return & " >> ~/documents/extracted.txt"
end repeat
end tell
This has worked really well, but I would also like the addresses of people I have sent mails to (sent mail account) and also any addresses that are CC'd in emails.
I have played around with the script, but my little knowledge of the program meant I got only errors! Any help on obtaining these final email addresses would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Simon

While the script works, two problems are that there are many duplicate email addresses and the list is not sorted.
The following addresses these problems (and avoids repeated do shell script calls):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E6E6EE;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the AppleScript Editor">
tell application "Mail"
set selectionMessage to selection -- just select the first message in the folder
set thisMessage to item 1 of selectionMessage
set theseMessages to (every message in (mailbox of thisMessage))
set listOfEmails to {}
repeat with eachMessage in theseMessages
try
set theFrom to (extract address from sender of eachMessage)
if listOfEmails does not contain theFrom then
copy theFrom to the end of listOfEmails
end if
if (address of to recipient) of eachMessage is not {} then
repeat with i from 1 to count of to recipient of eachMessage
set theTo to (address of to recipient i) of eachMessage as string
if listOfEmails does not contain theTo then
copy theTo to the end of listOfEmails
end if
end repeat
end if
if (address of cc recipient) of eachMessage is not {} then
repeat with i from 1 to count of cc recipient of eachMessage
set theCC to (address of cc recipient i) of eachMessage as string
if listOfEmails does not contain theCC then
copy theCC to the end of listOfEmails
end if
end repeat
end if
end try
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder" to set ptd to path to documents folder as string
set theFile to ptd & "extracted.txt"
set theFileID to open for access theFile with write permission
set SortedListOfEmails to simple_sort(listOfEmails)
repeat with i from 1 to count of SortedListOfEmails
write item i of SortedListOfEmails & return to theFileID as «class utf8»
end repeat
close access theFileID
on simple_sort(my_list)
set the index_list to {}
set the sorted_list to {}
repeat (the number of items in my_list) times
set the low_item to ""
repeat with i from 1 to (number of items in my_list)
if i is not in the index_list then
set this_item to item i of my_list as text
if the low_item is "" then
set the low_item to this_item
set the low_item_index to i
else if this_item comes before the low_item then
set the low_item to this_item
set the low_item_index to i
end if
end if
end repeat
set the end of sorted_list to the low_item
set the end of the index_list to the low_item_index
end repeat
return the sorted_list
end simple_sort</pre>
