Labels possible in Mail (like Eudora or like file / folder labels)

For nearly 14 years I have used Eudora exclusively but am transitioning now. OK but a few things I really miss in Eudora.
One is the ability to give each message a label- and that means a color. I see I can FLAG messages in Mail - but the flag doesn't seem to do anything other than let one group all flagged messages-- and it's just one flag (i.e. similar to giving my Eudora Messages an "A"-Red priority).
But Macs have had the choice of 7 label colors since ?? system 7 I think. Is there any way to label individual messages and have the line turn that color?
OK THERE ARE these Rules in Preferences -- but they are actually more like FILTERS - and while that is really nice-- I've just color coded some things -- text and background-- I also would like to do this manually-- any script here? Or what about creating an ingenious rule that I can apply at will (but it seems rules activate automatically on all incoming eMail messages...)
Thanks for any comments--
Best regards,
Steve Schulte

It was never answered but I found out that you can simply show the colors palette and color like that (background, not text) or use a $30 program MailTags - again background colored in version 2, not the text-- but lots of features in MailTags. Friday 16 October 2009

  • File folder labels for mac

    I give up. On my old PC, there was a label template that in "new document" form would allow me to type in any number of labels in any font I wanted, spaced correctly. I purchased MS Office so that I could have Word and do the same thing, but there is no option like this in Word for Mac. I go to the Label Wizard every time, and the only option is an address label, which is have managed to use for file folders, but i have to do one at a time or the whole page the same way. I've tried downloading the templates from Avery, but again--one label at a time and then I have to go back each time to open the template, etc. Am I missing something or is the the world of file folders, envelope printing, etc on a Mac? I have Pages too, but haven't found a solution there either.

    Did you want different labels or all the same?
    If you want them all the same do a search and replace.
    If you want them different then you will have to type them anyway or use Contacts.
    Formatting is up to you, it is just Styles.
    When you have it the way you like it, Save As Template and it will be in your Template Chooser.
    What "Label Wizard" are you talking about? Macs don't do "Wizards".

  • Avery file folder labels

    How do I print file folder lables using an Avery template on my Mac?  I have Pages and Numbers.  I have tried to download the template from the Avery website but it doesn't seem to work or am I doing something wrong?

    The Avery template is a Word file which Pages will open:
    Menu > View > Show Layout
    will then show you the textboxes for the labels . You can then type or paste those.
    Merging from Numbers won't work becuase Pages only takes one entry per pages, so they will all be the same.
    To get around that try:

  • File folder labels in Bridge are missing

    Last night while working between PS CS6 and Bridge, I returned to Bridge to find the labels below the file folders completely missing. I have shut down and re-started my computer a few times. This hasn't changed anything.  How can I get the names of my folders back? Do I need to uninstall and re-install?

    How can I get the names of my folders back?
    You probably accidentally have hit the shortcut for 'show thumbnails only' On a Mac this is cmd + T. Check the menu 'view' and see if there is a check mark in front of it, if so, deselect it and you should be OK

  • MAIL vs Eudora - "Queing" possible

    I've used EURDORA for Mac since 1996 and indeed have every single eMail sent and received since 5 March 1996. Neat!
    But it seems time to start using MAIL - but just wondering if:
    1. MAIL can open my old Eudora messages (i.e. can I import some- the most recent, for example)
    2. DOES MAIL have the ability to "QUEUE" or put messages on "hold" or "in-line" so that I can write 5-6 messages, then send them all at one time? I like this feature, since I often write an eMail, but want time to reflect on it; perhaps other eMails come-in etc.-- So I write eMails from, say, 2-3pm, then send them all at 3pm for example.
    Is this possible to do in Apple's MAIL program?
    Also-- will there be problems to anticipate when switching from Eudora?
    Does MAIL have a "search" and "find" capability like Eudora? (I can search on the word "breakfast" for example in Eudora, and it will take all "IN" folder messages and search each message and show just those that have breakfast in the title or text-- rather fast, too.
    Thanks!

    Hi Stephen, Yes, Eudora will import into Mail. Simple to do. Just quit eudora, open mail, select import and follow the clear instructions. Main has something called "drafts" which is similar to Eudora's queue, but has it's only mailbox. The search and find in mail is far superior to eudora. There are some third party extension that you might find helpful with mail too. Just go to versiontracker and hunt around. Best, R.

  • Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

    Good day,
    I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
    When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

    Good day abrieb93050306,
    I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
    As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
    Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
    This will probably resolve your issue.
    Let me know if you still experience any issue.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 & suddenly cannot send photos thru e-mail.  It looks like it's working ok; but when I hit Send nothing happens and the program stops responding.  Any suggestions?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 & suddenly cannot send photos thru e-mail.  It looks like it's working ok; but when I hit Send nothing happens and the program stops responding.  Any suggestions?

    I have starter 3.0 and cannot share pictures via outlook express. Evidently that version is discontinued and my outlook express does not support the MAPI that is required. I think the only solution is to upgrade to photoshop
    elements or to send photos as attachment to your e-mail.  I have the same problem using Zoom Browser EX sending photos via internet. I spent a whole day trying to resove this issue and have exhausted all options. Just like "Instant share" in HP image Zone that was replace by photoshop album starter 3.0 and now it is out dated.

  • Hii Can anyone tell me is there any possibility of giving some due payment like bonus or offcycle after its termination is done along with the payroll run and posting.

    Hii Can anyone tell me is there any possibility of giving some due payment like bonus or offcycle once employee termination is done along with the payroll run and posting.
    Thanx

    One Possibility is by making manual entry for that employee from FI side..  (this will give you soln..) Take the help of FI consultant...
    Another possibility is in IT0003 "Payroll Status".. You can opt mention next month date "Run Payroll up to" & execute Off cycle payroll for that employee...
    Just try this hope this may sort your issue....
    If it still it doesn't give you soln.. You may need to reverse the posting of that employee & change employment status.. Run Bonus & finally terminate the employee & do the posting..

  • How to access my Hotmail folders in Mail on my Mac like I can on my Iphone. I have 10.7.5 Lion operating system

    How can I access my Hotmail folders, not just emails,  in Mail?

    It sounds like you have your Hotmail setup as POP in Mail. You will need to add a new account as IMAP. Note, when you delete the POP account in Mail it will also delete the messages in the Inbox. You need to archive or move the Inbox messages to a folder before deleting the account.
    The iPhone is connecting through ActiveSync (which is exclusively for mobile devices).
    Since you are using [email protected], you might need to log into your account in Safari and add aliases for your email as [email protected] before creating the IMAP account.
    Receiving
    Incoming IMAP mail server: imap-mail.outlook.com
    Incoming IMAP mail server port: 993
    Encryption: SSL

  • Can e-mail be set up like a push notification?

    There are a couple of apps on my phone that have the "push" notification system (ex. Facebook) which I like because it means I don't have to open the apps anytime I wanna know if I have a message or alert.  i've noticed that mail doesn't do this though.  If I get a new e-mail, my phone doesn't notify me.  The only way to know is for me to open mail.  Is there a setting for mail so that I don't have to open Mail everytime I wanna know if I have mail or not, kinda like push notification?

  • How can I design a twisting label that wound around a cylindrical container from a square image, just like the pringles chips paper container label??

    Hi,
        I am going to make a new packaging for a product my company is going to launch next month. The packaging is cylindrical in shape and made of paper twisted and wound around a cylinder.
        I have completed the label in Adobe Illustrator and it is a square image. Now I want to design the label in a twisting shape that wounds the cylindrical container just like the pringles chips paper container label.
        Please give me some tips or instructions that can help me design the label in my desired form. Thank you...

    shawon,
    You may, based on the cut version showing a cut that starts and ends at the corners (Smart Guides are your friends):
    1) Create the full label going all the way round, as the basic rectangular/square shape (works with both a rectangle and a square, the latter just having the same width and height), with all the artwork;
    2) Decide the number of cuts;
    3) Create a straight slanting path from the top left corner (you may use the Line Segment Tool) to somewhere further right at the bottom, then with the Reference Point in the Transform palette set to top left change the W value to the total width of the rectangle divided by the number of cuts, this will give you the right angle;
    4) Move a copy of the straight path from 2) to the right by its W value;
    5) Select both straight paths from 3) and 4) and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join them thereby creating a parallellogram with twice the W value from 3)/4);
    6) Move copies of the parallellogram to the left and right by the W value from 3)/4), repeating until you have more than covered the original rectangle;
    7) Leave the leftmost parallellogram where it is (covering the top left of the original rectangle) and move the others down by the height (of the original rectangle/the parallellograms), leave one where it is and continue with the remaining one(s) until they are all placed below one another;
    8) Move copies of the original rectangle from 1) down by its height until you have rectangles behind all the parallellograms;
    9) For each set of parallellogram and rectangle, select both and Object>Clipping Mask>Make;
    10) Select all and Group them;
    Now you should have the final shape and look of the cut rectangle as a group of clipping masks, made digitally; you may use that as it is to cut a single label, or you may:
    11) Move copies to the right by the W value from 3)/4) to have multiple labels to cut.
    This obviously requires a rather accurate cutting, but it may be less critical than usual, given the nature of the twisted label.
