Mac Mail conversation grouping

Hi Guys,
I would like to group my mail messages from the sender rather than the conversation title. Using the email title as a sorting reference seems to lead to emails from other people dropping into other converstions. I want to group conversations to individuals not a title... can this be done if so how?
Thanks
Stuart

interestingly enough, i do have that checked. It sorts the conversations and emails on the left pane, but within each conversation. HOWEVER, when i uncheck/check that setting within a conversation, the conversation does flip to the most recent email. When i click out of the conversation, and back into, it does not. i just right clicked and marked my "3000+" unread emails as "read." Having all emails "read" does keep you at the top of the conversation.
I tried testing your theory that it jumps to the most recent read, by clicking an unread within the conversation. After clicking out/back into the conversation, I was not set on that specific email. I can't figure out its logic frankly. I guess i could understand if it defaulted to the oldest unread email actually, but it's not dong that either. thanks for your responses. I really think a nice feature would be to default to the most recent unread email. The triangle trick is nice though. For now, i will "try" and be more diligent about marking emails as they come in

Mac Mail Conversations - Can you turn it off for a Specific Email address?

In Mac Mail 6.2, is there a way to leave "Conversations" ON as a default, but turn it off in regards to a certain email address?
Example:
I resell printing and have multiple receipts coming from one supplier(One Email address and the same Subject Line). My problem is it is grouping those receipts into the same conversation, but each of these should be seperate because they are for more than one customer.
Any help would be great. Thanks

Not exactly, but the following workaround might be useful to you:
* Create a new mail folder (either in an IMAP account or in "On My Mac").
* Set that set conversations off for that mail folder.
* Create a mail rule to move messages from your problem supplier to that folder.
Downside: You have to remember to check that other folder.
If it is important to you that the messages be available in the unified Inbox, you might be able to do something similar with a separate mail account.

Yosemite Mail - conversation grouping issues

After the upgrade, mail groups some messages even they don't belong to the same subject or thread. Is there any ways to refresh or restructure the database?
I have already tried to Rebuild comment from the Mailbox pull down menu. Also, I tried to remove the Envelope Index, Envelope Index-shm, Envelope Index-wal for a complete rebuild but the problem still exists. Could someone advise how to solve it?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How to export an Mac Mail/Contact Group directly to a Google group

Hi, for my new blog, I would like to use Google Group to distribute it, but would like to avoid retyping each address into the Google group list. Is there a simple way to export the group I have already set up in my Apple contacts list directly to the Google Group? There are several hundred names.

Hi,
Export from the first machine running outlook 2010
Open Outlook on the computer containing the desired contacts and click the "File" tab.
Click "Options" then click "Advanced" to display advanced Outlook options.
Click the "Export" button, then select "Export to a file" and click "Next."
Select "CommaSeparatedValues (Windows)" as the file type and click "Next."
Select the Contacts folder when prompted, then click "Next." This will export all individual contacts and contact groups within the folder.
Click "Browse" and select where to save the export file. The destination location should be on a removable storage device such as a USB flash drive to allow you to import the file on the other computer.
Type a name for the file in the file name box and click "OK."
Click "Next" when prompted and then click "Finish."
Import to the second machine
Open Outlook on the computer you want to import the contacts to and click the "File" tab.
Click "Open" and then "Import."
Select "Import from another program or file" and then click "Next."
Select "CommaSeparatedValues (Windows)" when prompted to select the file type to import and then click "Next."
Select "Browse" to locate and choose the export file and then click "OK."
Select the desired import options and click "Next." The first option, "Replace Duplicates with Items Imported," allows the import process to overwrite existing contact information to prevent duplicate contact creation. The second option, "Allow Duplicates
to be Created," retains existing contact information and creates duplicate contact entries with the imported data. The third option, "Do Not Import Duplicate Items," retains existing contact information. These options only are relevant if duplicate contacts
already exist in Outlook on the computer running the import.
Click the Contacts folder when prompted to select the destination folder. Click "Next," followed by "Finish."
Hope that helps.

Mac Mail - Grouping Mailboxes

Hi, is there a way to deal with each user account on it's own rather than have the 'Mailboxes > Inbox, Sent etc' set-up followed by each user account below that? I have read time and again people suggsting setting up smart mailboxes but this seems a bit unnecessary when outlook for mail has a simple option to 'group similar mailboxes together' or not as the case may be. Before you suggest just using outlook for mac I already am but need a separate mail application to deal with different email accounts as I currently need to keep track of 10 user accounts and would prefer to separate them, I was hoping mac mail would make my life easier!

Let's see if we can work through your problem.
A Smart folder's contents will NOT sync to other devices. It's a way to view messages on one device.
An IMAP folder will sync to other devices. IMAP folders do NOT show up under "On My Mac".
A folder under "On My Mac" will not sync to other devices.
The Friends & Family, insurance etc folders work fine and still show up on all devices. It's only the smart mailbox that seems to 'hide' my mail from her on my other devices.
The account is an IMAP account.
The Friends & Family folders exist only as it states "On My Mac". They do NOT sync. If you move messages to these folders the changes will not be reflected on other devices. While you can create the same "On My Mac" folders on multiple devices, they are not created via the server.
Please verify that both your accounts types. I suspect at least one is set as POP on this computer.
Open Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select account > you should see account type
You need to assign the Alex XIVVI folders.

Can I set up Groups of contacts on Mac Mail?
Thanks markinnyon

Yes, you can. Is "Mac OS X (10.7)" still your current system?
You can create groups from the File menu in the "Address Book /Contacts" application.

Mail wrongly groups messages in conversation

Hi,
After intalling Yosemite I encoutner a problem with Mail app grouping different messages into conversation.
The problem is that messages are not connected. Sender and recipients are different, mail content is not related.
I've tried rebuilding mailbox, but didn't help.
And on my iPhone it actually works correctly.

I solved my own problem! Go to Mail-> Perferences...-> Viewing and deselect "Include related messages"

Where's the conversation in mac mail?

Where's the conversation in mac mail? Like in Gmail. Mac Mail in conversation mode only shows one side of the 'conversation'. You have to go to the sent folder to the see the other side. Anyone know of way to change the view? Sparrow mail even has both sides of the conversation in the in box. Surprised mail is lacking this.

Go to Preferences > Viewing and check "Include Related Messages". Mail randomly turned this off for me recently and I had to find it and turn back on.

Creating a "work group" for mail in mac mail?

what is the term in mac mail or in address book for creating a list of four or five or ten people in order to address a mail to all at once so i don't have to find all their names every time i send something? i can't remember where this is or what it is called.
also, any good tutorials on leveraging these kind of "business oriented" needs or describing additional timesavers that may be available in mail?
THANKS

Go to Contacts/File/New Group. Then drag the desired contacts into the group. In Mail, type the name of the group.

When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted.

When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted. Any way for both the received and sent mail that resides there to be deleted?
I create a lot of project folders where i keep all my conversations regarding the project. Once the project is finished i would like to just delete the folder and get rid of all the emails associated with it but when i delete the folder i've noticed that only received messages are deleted. Now I am stuck trying to sort through my sent folder for messages that were returned there after the conversations was supposedly deleted.

Mail/Preferences/Viewing - un-check include related messages, delete the folder, then go back and reset yo include.

Mac Mail, Groups & Google Aps

Trying to send a group email through mac mail, using google apps account. the group has 41 members. i keep getting "cannot send messages using this server" error, which does not come up when sending to individual addresses. Thoughts?

In Mail's sidebar there will be a subsidiary set of folders (located below the main Inbox/Sent folders). Click the down arrow to expand it, look for an inbox in there, if it exists and if it contains the mail do this. Select it, go to the Mailbox menu and choose 'Use This Malobox For' and choose Inbox.

How do I move group lists from Entourage to Mac Mail

Does anyone know a way to import a group mailing list from Entourage into Mac Mail? Entourage says something about exporting to a note first but I’m lost. Any light anyone could shed would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Does Entourage export as CSV (comma separated vars)? You can import that file format into Contacts.

Can't see email conversion from oe6 to eudora to mac mail

Help please,
I converted all my oe6 emails and mail boxes into Eudora and then used Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to convert them into Mac Mail. I rebuilt ALL mailboxes but can only see the address of emails, not the body information. I followed the information in Eurdora Mailbox Cleaner to the "T" but still have these issues. Any suggestions? Note: Some mail boxes are OK, others are not.

Was this Windows to Mac or Mac to Mac.
I did no less then 4 trial runs Eudora to Mail (Mac to Mac.) All this was in preperation of upgrading to Lion.
Each time I learned more from these trial runs before I pulled the trigger for real.
Definitely transfer out all inbox mails to "old-inbox" (or some such) before the move. You can always move them back to the inbox after the migration.

Confused about conversation grouping Lion vs. Snow Leopard

Hello All,
I just upgraded. Literally just finished. I was checking out mail, and I am confused about how Mail 5 groups messages for conversations. In SL I had Mail group related messages as well, and it's a feature I really enjoy. Conversations just makes it that much better. But, I notice that Lion groups message differently than both SL and iOS. Now, it is no longer grouping emails that are all from various people but are part of the same thread. It is grouping multiple messages from the same sender, even if they have nothing to do with each other, or are only loosely connected.
It used to be (and still is on my iPhone) for example, that all the emails eminating from a single thread topic on one of my class forums would all group together. They have the same subject line and formatting. It was heaven. Will there be no way of doing this?
Also, now all the emails from the teacher of that class, regardless of the relevancy or subject line, group together in one conversation. It's annoying in a way, but I think I can get used to that. Does anyone know if these will be able to be changed in the future?
Thanks

As a Mac power user - LION IS A DISAPPOINTMENT
Apple needs to seriously consider briniging back
• SPACES: the capability to move up as well as down to access applications
     AND have applications stay in a desgnated space makes it much easier
     to run multiple applicatioins - especially in a multi-monitor environment
• SAVE AS: Saving various versions of a file is difficult with Lion.
    If I want a 3 versions of a document - with different pictures, it takes too many "clicks" to accomplish
     this task. LET ME CHOOSE HOW I STORE FILES
• COPY COMMAND: Snow Leaopard allowed me to copy files to a storage device AND if the file
     was already written to the device - the option to NOT REPLACE the file existed. This made it
     easy to backup work on a portable drive.
     LION ONLY has two options - copy all or make an addition copy of the file, causing storage bloat
APPLE NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER PUTTING THESE FEATURES BACK INTO THEIR OS FOR THE BUSINESS AND POWER USER
