Mail 2.1 - Can't find rules on tool bar

I have read several posts regarding activating rules on the menu bar. In my case, nothing has worked to make the rules button activate (show) on the toolbar, no matter what I have read or done, including deleting the mail preferences. The only place I see the rules is in the Mail preferences. With this in mind, does anyone have a solution for a Mac Mini-Intel running Mail 2.1. I thank you in advance.

Hi ccourson,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There is no Rules button that can be placed on the toolbar.
The options that are available are at View>Customize Toolbar.
Rules are applied as mail is received, and if you receive an email that you want to have a rule apply to, then the rule must be in place prior to your receipt.
In other words, and not being sarcastic, why would you want a rule if you were going to apply it to an email after you had received it?
The only way to apply a rule (actually to see if it works) to an email after receipt is to create the rule thru Mail>Preferences and then click "Yes" when it asks "Do you want to apply your rules to messages in open mailboxes?"
Good Luck,
John

  • How can I find the horizontal tool bar so I can log off?

    I have no tool bar across the top of my window so how can I log off????

    If you are referring to the menu bar, by default on Firefox 4 it is hidden and replaced by the Firefox button. If you want the old style menu bar, right-click on a toolbar then click on "Menu Bar" to permanently display it. Alternatively pressing Alt or F110 will temporarily display the menu bar, you can in the View menu select toolbars, and then Menu Bar.

  • Unread mails - but I can't find them!

    My IMAP account is showing that their are 6 unread mails, but I can't find them in the inbox. Any idea why this is?

    Sorry, "Message Status" not "Unread Mails".
    You'll find it in View >> Sort By >> Message Status. Or by clicking on the dot between the flag- and from-field above the list of received mails.

  • Where can I find the equivalent tools in Photoshop that are in the develop module of Lightroom

    Friends:
    Where can I find the equivalent tools in Photoshop that are in the develop module of Lightroom?  For example I would like to use the shadow, clarity, lens correction and such tools but cannot find them in Photoshop.
    Thanks amigos
    Migs

    The obvious or not so obvious first. Depending on your knowledge. When you open a tiff, jpg, or camera' raw format they can be opened in Adobe Camera raw first which has identicle controls to lightroom's develop module.
    Starting with I beleive CS5 maybe 4, some of the tools made their way into photoshop it self. Take a look at the camera lens filter, the Image>Adjustment menu or the adjustment layers which now support vibrance for example.

  • CS3 -- I can't find the Eraser Tool

    I am new to CS3, but I'm not a total greenie in photo editing after working with Jasc & Corel over the past few years. This one is starting to make me feel stupid. Maybe I'm having a brain cramp. I see the Background Eraser Tool, but after searching high and low, I can't find the Eraser Tool. Where is the little bugger hiding???

    Click and hold (or ALT+Click) on ALL the icons in the Toolbox that show a little tiny triangle on their buttons. LOTs of grouped (some call them "hidden". I don't...) tools.
    Anywhere you see just about ANY little icon, button, arrow or tiny triangle, try clicking and/or ALT+Clicking on them to see what secrets they hold.
    Also, have a look at EVERY Menu item, and give them a try. Just don't "Save" and close your image and you will always be able to go back to your original unedited state by clicking the image at the very top of your History Palette.
    Don't forget to give the Help files a thorough scan while you're exploring, too.

  • Where can I find FPGA replication tool (Set RIO Device Settings.vi) for LabVIEW 2013?

    I just upgraded to LV2013SP1 and came across a VI that now is broken in my project: Set RIO Device Settings.vi (which is a part of RIOSystemReplication2009.zip). Apparently this happened in 2009 as well for a different VI in the same collection of tools (see Where-can-I-find-FPGA-replication-tool-for-labview-2009. I tried the mentioned VIs in this article but both of them are broken). Note that the Replication and Deployment (RAD) Utility does not seem to support the functionality that Set RIO Device Settings does, so I still need to use the old one. 
    Since the VI is password protected I cannot attempt to fix it. Might be something as simple as a type that changed...
    Any help appreciated!

    Hey Rob,
    This problem has already been brought to NI R&D's attention, and they are working on a fix under Corrective Action Request (CAR) 454468. Unfortunately, until they fix the problem there may not be a way to correct the problem in the near future. The CAR is set for higher priority, so a fix could come shortly.
    Regards,

    My computer crashed and have lost msn tool bar. How can I down load msn tool bar for Mozilla firefox? edit

    It used to be more common to be asked how to uninstall such toolbars. I think It will now be known as a Bing bar, but as far as I know it is no longer supported for Firefox. You may find some unofficial addons with similar types of functions.
    You would be better discussing anything further relating to MSN on a specialist MSN forum.

  • Can not delete emails and tool bar at top does not change over

    Can not delete emails and tool bar at top does not  change over from safari. HELP

    If you hold the command key down (the one with the ⌘ on it) and hit the + key you can make the fonts larger. Might help out, I know as I've gotten up there in years I've had to use it more and more
    In the mean time while twtwtw mulls this over, can you supply any further information? Did the system crash or didi anything change before you started having the problem? Are you really running 10.5.8 as your profile says?
    We'll start with those for now,

  • Can't Find Rules Under MAIL Preferences

    I have just upgraded to a G5 PowerPC and while setting up my mail (Mail version 2.1 (752/752.2)) I wanted to write a few rules. Per the help page on this subject I should find rules under the MAIL menu under preferences. The only item under preferences seems to be fonts and colors. Am I missing something here?

    Click the little oval button in the top right corner of the preferences window.

  • Mail Account shows unread mail but I can't find it

    In the process of adding some new mail accounts due to a merger of my cable carrier the "help" line told me to delete any existing mail accounts. I followed his advice and clicked "delete" on one account but it did not remove the folder from my list of accounts (below the inbox). Now my email sent to that address continues to go into that account but it does not get into my Inbox and if I click on the account no mail shows in the mail screen. My Mail icon at the bottom of the screen shows 9 new emails but I can't find them. They are all in the "cancelled" account.
    Does anyone know what to do in order to get those emails placed in my Inbox?

    First off, how important are these files? If you absolutely need these files and you don't have a backup you will need a recovery program to ensure that you recover the files. If you try and recreate your mail account and keep using the computer you may erase the possibility of recovering these files. Normally when you delete the account the POP folder is deleted. If you have a backup I would recommend you getting the files there.
    You can try the following:
    Your mail may still be there somewhere in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/
    Inside this folder there will be a Mailboxes folder and a POP-something folder if you use pop. There may also be a cancelled folder here.
    You will need to recreate your mail account first. You will need the POP server and the SMTP server address if you use POP. After you have re-created your mailbox you can try to import your old mail from one of the folders mentioned. /Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/cancelled is maybe where you will need to import from. USERNAME is your logon username.
