Is there a way to have my mail and/or mail content download to a database?

OK, this is probably a stretch, but here's what I would like to do. I have a commercial listing for a vacation rental that an inquirer can click on "send message" and then fill out info such as name, tel. #, dates requested, etc. This info comes in the message section of the email.
What I would like to do is to automatically extract the information that is in this email message into a database format, even excel or numbers, automatically. Anyone have any idea how I might do this or at least improve how mail organizes this through rules, etc.?
If this were my own site, I'm sure I could use something like MySQL to build the database myself. Unfortunately, this is a commercial site listing that I can't manipulate and unfortunately, they will not share the data in a download friendly manner.
Any ideas appreciated!

I've done some more searching and understand there are programs that extract the info out of an email. I believe they are called email parsers. Anyone have any more info on this? If so, any suggestions for a program that I could use? Thanks again.

    Is there a way to have parallax scrolling and a changing slideshow? (so the slideshow looks still and it looks like you scroll your content over it again)

    You can apply opacity to images or define key position for slideshow so that with page scroll the opacity changes and will bring the similar effect.

  • Is there a way to have iPhoto find, and delete, my duplicates?

    I thought there was a way to do this, but now I can't find it.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Paul:
    There are a couple of applications that will cull out duplicates in an iPhoto Library: Duplicate Annihilator and iPhoto Diet.
    I suggest you make a temporary backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder before running either of them just to have a fall back copy in case the results are not what you intended.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do i get rid of duplicates in my photo library?  I imported the photos again by mistake and dont want to do it manually.  is there a way to have iphoto compare and delete all duplicates?

    How do i delete duplicate photos in my iphoto library.  i imported them (1500 pics) twice and don't want to manually go through them all.  Is there a way to get iphoto to compare photos and delete the duplicates?

    There are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
    Duplicate Annihilator
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates

  • Is there a way to have all folders and files line up all the time by default?

    I was wondering if there was a way to get all files and folders on the desktop and within locations like Downloads and Documents to automatically align to grid by default without user intervention.
    If so, how can I do this?
    Thanks!

    Mario's post explains, how to arrange in colums in Finder windows.
    You can use the same method to arrange the items on the Desktop:
    Click on the empty Desktop to select it and to bring the Finder forward, press  the key combination ⌘J.
    Select "Snap to Grid" and set the spacing and icon size.
    Select an option how you want to sort them, e.g. by kind.

  • Is there a way to have iPad mail NOT show the last opened email? If not, can this be a feature request?

    Sometimes while running iPad training and usage sessions I may have to show my screen to faculty or staff while showing them a feature or how to use an app. It would be nice if the mail app didn't show the last opened message in the preview area for the sake of privacy. Can this be turned off or changed?

    No.
    If you wish to make a suggestion to Apple post your idea at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    By the way this is just a user-to-user technical assistance forum. Apple is not here. We are all users here.

  • Is there a way to have my iPad and iPhone automatically sync information without syncing on a computer?

    I just bought an iPad 2 and already own an iPhone 4 and I was wondering if there is a way to sync information, songs, contacts, calendar, etc. without syncing them to my computer?

    That depends. I use Google for my contacts, calendar and email. I have it set up as an Exchange account on both my iPhone and my iPad. Contacts, calendar and email are all kept in sync wirelessly without the need for me to do anything. If you are in the U.S. and your iPhone is the AT&T version, you can get any music that you purchased on either device (or on your computer) on the others without syncing. Look for the Purchases icon in the iPod app. If you're not in the U.S. or your iPhone is with Verizon, you'll have to wait until iOS 5.
    For notes, I use Evernote. It's a cross platform app. I have it on my computer, both of my phones (iPhone and Android) and on my iPad. All of my notes are accessible to me from any device as long as I have an internet connection. I can also store notebooks locally on my iOS devices and my computer for offline use.
    So, it's not completely seamless but many things can be synced wirelessly and without a computer right now.
    Best of luck.

  • I have a new iTunes acct for my 10year old . she was playing one of the games and did not know it was charging my Cc and grandmas CC for her game. Is there a way to have these amt adj off the cards. I have made sure my CC info is not in the system now

    My 10 year old daughter downloaded a free game on her i Pod touch. When playing the game she did not know she was ordering apps
    is there a way to have my cc and her grandma cc refunded these charges. I thought my acct was set up to not keep our CC # on file.
    Please help.

    There are no refunds.
    You can set restirctions so that it does not allow in app purchases.
    You can try asking itunes support for an exception and see how it goes.

  • Is there a way to have iTunes show what is in the iTunes music folder?

    I have several folders that I moved from an old iTunes music folder into a newer one on a different HD. I just put the music into the folder, but not into iTunes. So now, I have a huge folder of music that doesn't show up in my iTunes library. I was cleaning off the HD to make room for something else, so I deleted the "old" iTunes folder with all the music in it. The music is in my new iTunes folder, but not in my iTunes program. Sorry this is so convoluted!
    What I want to know is this: Is there a way to have iTunes recognize and check for music in the iTunes folder that is not already in the iTunes program? Exactly what does consolidate library do? Could that solve the issue? I am a little intimidated because it says that it cannot be undone.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Chris,
    You're a GENIUS!! Thank you!! That's exactly what I was looking for. I am in the process of doing it right now. Hopefully, everything goes well. You just made my day!
    Happy 2009,

    Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

    Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
    If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

  • Is there any way to have OS 10.5.8 mail leave a photo as attachment in the same orientation as it is in Preview?

    Is there any way to have OS 10.5.8 mail leave an attached photo in the same orientation as it is in Preview?

    First, to answer the question, I took the photo with a Canon camera but did not choose to use the Canon software to download the photo to my desktop.  I just did a select and drag to a new folder on my desktop from the sd card.  Canon has some software called Imagebrowser that may be used for this, but I took the simpler route.
    I have not come across what you called the EXIF orientation before and have no idea how to access it.  What software is needed to determine the EXIF orientation?  Sorry I'm so far behind on this.  I usually used Photoshop and iPhoto to enhance photos.
    By the way, I imported the photo into iPhoto then attached it to the email and the orientation didn't change.  It was the same in the attachment in Mail as it was in iPhoto.  I just don't want to have to go through that extra step every time I attach a photo.
    Thanks for your help so far.  How do I get the EXIF orientation?

  • Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts

    Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file

    Hi everyone!
    Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities: 
    "The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
    Let's keep looking guys...
