Is there a way to allow only messages from my address book into inbox?

I would like to limit my incoming mail to people in my address book. Is there a way to do this without manually going through each message and assigning it to a different folder? Thank you.

Create a filter with the rule From + isn't in my address book + Personal Address Book (or choose another) and an Action, 'Move message to' (choose the folder).

    Is there any way to print text messages from an iPhone 3GS?

    The only ways to print any text messages from any of the iOS devices is to either do a print screen and then print those photos, or you could look for a program called TouchCopy that will allow you to download the SMS to the computer and you can handle them from there.

  • Is there a way to read text messages from the past in a thread that has been ongoing for months?

    Is there a way to view/recover messages from months ago in a thread that has been ongoing? The messages are not deleted. If i just keep "loading new messages" a) it will take all day, I've tried, and b) it freezes on me.

    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

    Both will allow you to archive your text messages to your computer and read them easily.

    If you already have an iPhone backup or an iCloud backup, just follow the instructions on the page below

  • Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard?

    Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard? There must be a way, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the shortcut. I'm using Logitech 811 keyboard and have an IPAD 2.
    Thank you,

    Are you asking if there is a way to press "Send" from the BT keyboard as opposed to reaching over and tapping it on the screen? Not to the best of my knowledge.

  • Is there any way to delete saved messages from IPhone 4 memory?

    Is there any way to delete saved messages from IPhone 4 memory?

    Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
    Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
    Make a backup in iTunes
    open iBackupBot (Google it)
    Go to the relevant backup
    Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
    Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
    Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete.  You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is. 
    Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
    They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
    Then just restore that backup using iTunes! 
    Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments! 
    P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!

  • When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all.

    When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hey Grupo Castillo,
    Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
    1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
    2. Click Composing.
    3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
    When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

  • I have a quick filter but cannot dispay all incoming emails, only those from my address book. Help

    I was trying to add a junk filter. Now I have a quick filter with options for unread, starred, only messages from address book, tags, attachments.
    If I turn the quick filter off, I only get unread messages.
    If I turn the quick filter on, I can get all messages from my address book (read and unread) but no mail from others.
    I want all incoming email displayed I have no option to do this. What should I do???

    Are you saying nothing changes if you toggle the buttons in the QuickFilter for Unread, Contacts etc?

  • Looking for a way to move entire pages from one photo book into another photo book.

    I haven't found out how to move pages from one photo book into another. Surely this is possible?
    Also on the subject of photo books: it seems that it is not possible to enlarge the size of a text box. Or has anyone found a way to accomodate more than 1 line of text on a photo book page?

    You can look through some of the different Layouts available.
    Select your page.
    Click the "Layout" icon on the lower right hand of the application window.
    Above it will appear a "BACKGROUND" section and a "LAYOUT" section.
    Immediately below the "LAYOUT" is a drop down menu which will show you all the different options.

  • Is there a way to allow only selected 17+ apps

    My daughter is 14. I would like to allow all 14+ apps, and also allow selected (but not all) 17+ apps. Is there a way to do that?

    You set it up through iCloud. In fact, it should say "Set up Family Share" and then you invite up to five family members. It also allows you to share purchases between family members so you don't have to buy the app more than once.
    Your daughter would need her own Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes in her phone for it to work.

  • In Lion Mail is there a way to keep the messages from appearing?

    Sometimes I get unsavory images in my Mail that I don't particularly want my children to see if they happen to check the Mail. The Junk filter doesn't necessarily catch all of them. With the new Mail, the images show up when the message is selected, even if only to delete it. If I remember correctly, in the old Mail, there were buttons beside the message-line or heading that allowed the email to be selected without actually opening it up. These could then be deleted without opening the message. Can this still be done in Lion?

    u can slide the message viewer all the way over to the RIGHT, thus hiding the message from view, and then delete at will from the expanded left column.
    Message was edited by: coocooforcocoapuffs: can't tell my left from right yet.

  • Is there any way to delete text messages from the external screen of an LG EnV3?

    The internal screen of my phone doesn't work, so I've been texting from the external key pad. But my inbox has gotten full and I can't receive texts anymore. Is there any way to delete texts using only the external screen of the EnV3?

    It was awhile ago and I'm not totally sure, but I think this was discussed and the conclusion was that you can't delete texts using the external screen of the Env3. **Edit  (Found one thread: http://community.vzw.com/t5/Messaging-Text-Picture-IM-etc/No-option-to-delete-text-messages-from-front-of-LG-enV3/m-p/43042#M1684 )  It came up in one other thread that I could find and the solution was to use the internal, and similar steps were given - the only difference was using the OK for Menu and #2 for Messages, rather than the left soft key for Messages.  vWhatever works... 
    What you CAN do, is open the flip, left soft key (which is the Messages menu), and there are several options - these are the text messaging ones -
    1. New Message
    2. Inbox (#)
    3. Sent (#)
    4 Drafts (#)
    Press the right soft key (options) and your choices are:
    1.Erase Inbox
    2.Erase Sent
    3.Erase Drafts
    4.Erase All
    If you choose Erase All, then OK - it will erase all except unread messages, and locked messages. If you choose any of the numbers, then hit OK, it will erase ALL in that category, read or not, so I would choose Option 4 to erase all but the unread.
    HTH, and post back if you have further questions...
