Mail and Folder Fonts

Does anyone know of a way to make just one folder in Mail a different font than the other folders and mailboxes?
I am aware of how to change fonts using preferences, but I can't find an option to assign a specific font to a single folder.

I'm not aware of a way to do this.

Mail and Asian fonts set-how to reset...

I am attempting to remote support a client using Apple Mail. He has a Mac Book Air/Lion (not sure if 10.7.4 yet) but my email to him is getting interpted as Asian character set.
I'm thiking of looking within Mail/Preference/Fonts and Colors but the larger issue is what precipitated this in the first place. Shoudl I be looking elsewhere.
Body of the text is Asian font set but the email address and other particualrs from him and me are English.
Should I look at keyboard preferences as well?
Looking for guidance.
Many thanks to all...

He uses Mail/iCloud with an ATT DSL system. I have my own domain using IMAP as well as a .me account using Mail.app.
Waiting to hear when I can remote login to look at things.
Another thought is to backup his mailbox, rebuild, and then do a big purge of his inbox. His work pattern is such that he leaves way too much in his inbox (4K+ messages). I've counseled him to change. If the system is getting corrupted maybe this is a symptom?
Also not sure if he is at 10.7.4-I'm not going there yet due to some nasty issues with the Thunderboldt upgrade released last week.
Thanks

Mail and sent items folder on Yahoo!

(Firstly I'm running the latest version of Mail on the latest OSX on an iMac, and MBA, iPads and iPhones).
What is it with Mail on oSX and how have Apple managed to make it so much worse than Mail on iOS?!!!!!
First issues, if you can help please.
I use Yahoo! On every Mail app in the world for the last zillion years (including on iOS) when you sent an email it goes in to your Sent Items. Nothing revolutionary about that. But why on Mail for OSX does it go in to a different folder called Sent Messages and not in the Sent Items folder like it does on every other Apple Mail app?! If I sent an email on my iMac when I want to find it on my iPhone I won't find it in Sent Items (one of the four or so default folders with a pretty icon) but instead I have to find it all on it's own in a separate sub folder called Sent Messages. Can that really be right?
Secondly, Exchange.
Mail on iOS and Exchange all works simply and logically and updates immediately etc. Why does Exchange mail on Mail for OSX firstly take many, many, many, minutes to update the Inbox (despite manually clicking the Get Mail icon). it is soooooo slow despite forcing it to do it. Also, identicasl settings for Mail Preferences on my MBA and my iMac. One Exchange Inbox says 189 Unread and the other says 98 Unread.
Mail for OSX gets a resounding 2/10 score but maybe I'm doing something wrong?
All input gratefully received.

Hi Scott
To see Sent Mail on you Gmail IMAP address in Apple Mail program, you need to click on and expose Gmail section in left column of mail and show the Sent folder as shown below. This will show you the emails sent from your other devices. This information is stored on Gmail server.
The best way to reach me is via email. Please reply to this email and I will contact you as soon as I possibly can.
Thanks

How do I remove "other users" folder in mail and on my iPhone

On one account only I have "other users" folder that lists all of the folders of every user on the server. On my iphone I have to scroll past pages of other user folders to get to any folder named with anything after "O"
Does anyone know how to get the server to stop showing "other users" in both mail and iphone mail?

Unfortunately that is really the only work around since
Comcast uses POP3 and not IMAP like Gmail or
iCloud.
I had received an email quite some time ago that they
were beta testing IMAP with select customers but I doubt
if it has gone much further than that.

How can I read my incoming emails in one folder?Like I do in Live mail and Outlook express.

Now we can only read emails in different folders if I am managing multiple email accounts.
It does not feel so comfortable as we use Live mail and Outlook express.

'''Unified Inbox for pop and Imap mail accounts:'''
If you use the Unified folder view, this will show an Inbox with all emails from all accounts, with sub folder Inboxes for the individual Inboxes for the various accounts. Then you can choose to view the collective Inbox or the individual Inbox.
This method can be chosen simply and quickly.
* View > folders > Unified
'''Setting up Pop mail accounts to use Global Inbox.'''
Pop mail accounts can be set up to use a Global Inbox in Local Folders.
Imap mail accounts cannot be set up to use Global Inbox, but can use the Unified view.
To change Pop mail accounts to use Global Inbox, you would need to move all emails into Local Folders Inbox.
Then change the settings for each pop mail account.
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the pop mail account
click on 'Advanced' button
select 'Inbox for a different account' and 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)
click on OK
You need to do this for each Pop mail account.
Then close Thunderbird. You must do this before downloading anything otherwise the emails may continue to go to the wrong Inbox.
Wait a few moments for Thunderbird to fully close and then restart Thunderbird.
Please read more info on global inbox here:

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

Enlarging the fonts in mail and textedit

The text in my mail and text edit is tiny! I've tried to enlarge them by going to "fonts" but all I can do is make them more "bold" which helps but for some reason the computer ignores my attempts to change the size of the lettering.
I see where is says "size" and i click on it and increase the numbers but still no change in the size of text in both mail and text edit. What am I doing wrong?

The problem with small text in received messages is due to the sender using HTML for message composition.
Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
Next to Message Font, choose your Font and size. The size chosen for the Message font will be used for message text when receiving a message that was composed in Plain Text but not for message text when receiving a message that was composed in HTML since the sender controls the formatting when using HTML for message composition.
When a message is received that was composed in HTML (and you will know this when the message text is tiny), you can add the Bigger/Smaller buttons to the message toolbar and select Bigger to enlarge all text or at the menu bar, go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and the message text will be converted to your chosen font and font size.

Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

The only way to increase the size of the onscreen text in the Finder Menu Bar and in the Side bar in Finder Windows is to change the screen resolution in the OS X Preferences Pane under the Displays icon.
What Mac and screen size are you using?

Safari, Mail and Disk Utility won't run unless Font Book is Open

Recently Safari, Mail and Disk Utility would crash and spin and the "Application Not Responding" line would appear when I checked the program in the dock. After following a variety of tips from other Apple users, I finally got the programs to run. However, I started them while Font Book was open and now they only work when it remains open. I've been using Apple/Mac products since the beginning of time and have never seen anything like this. I've repaired permissions, throught out preferences, etc., etc. and can't resolve this problem. Please, someone, help me.

Hello buhrow:
That makes two of us that go back to the beginning of time and have never seen anything like that. Have you run the fontbook applications to eliminate duplicates and check for corrupt fonts? Offhand, I cannot understand why just having a program open would prevent other programs from crashing.
If nothing else works, you might want to consider an archive and install (after backing up, of course):

When is Draft folder Sent mail and when is it STUCK mail?

i am having problems with outgoing mail and adding to this i am having problems figuring out what has in fact been sent!
obviously if i have mail in a SENT folder it has presumably been sent and arrived.
however, if i have mail in a DRAFT folder does this mean it specifically has not been sent? i mean, i oftentimes find /partial/ drafts in my DRAFT folder and i am wondering if i need to look at the draft email to see if it is completed or partially (god only knows how reliable this will be) with the assumption that if it is PARTIALLY COMPLETED there may in fact be a completed version of it in the SENT folder? alternatively, do i have to somehow search the SENT folder to see if the email is there to see that it is not in fact stuck in the draft folder?
i just ran into FOUR emails that do not appear to have been sent to the person that i was sending to but since i think i hit SEND on all of them i cannot 1. figure out why they were in the DRAFT FOLDER but more importantly i 2. CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHICH MAIL IN THE DRAFT FOLDER IS BASICALLY stuck in the OUTBOX. and since there does not appear to be an outbox in Mail on my macs (as there is in Mail on my iPhone or in Sparrow on my iPhone iu basically have to ask a byzantine question like this to figure out an absolutely mission critical issue as to whether important business mail is basically stuck in mail on my mac and WHY i don't know about this and cannot figure it out either.

I know there is an issue in Mavericks Mail with messages being saved to Drafts that were actually sent, but am not sure if this also affects Mountain Lion Mail.
What is happening as you compose your message, Mail is saving the current version in Drafts. It's supposed to remove the Draft message after sending but in Mavericks Mail this is currently not working as expected. The workaround is to save your Drafts for IMAP accounts to the "On My Mac" Drafts Folder.
If you put Mail in offline mode then try to send you should see your Outbox.
Personally, I know I often start a message then before I complete I get a call and forget about the message only to find it later in the day hiding behind my Mail window.
You can eliminate Mail by testing in Postbox and MailMate. Both have demos.
http://www.postbox-inc.com/ $9.95
http://freron.com $49.99
Setup in MailMate is super easy since it imports your account info from Mail. MailMate supports IMAP only.
Postbox has a nice interface and includes features like adding DropBox links in a message.

Yahoo mail - mark as spam and folder creation?

Is there a way to mark mail in inbox as spam so yahoo knows to move these messages automatically to spam folder in the future? Since using my ipod to manage yahoo email, seems like more and more spam enters inbox because I can not mark mail as spam using iPod. And is it possible to create/delete folders for mail?

- No, there is no way to mark as spam and et that back to Yahoo.
- Yu can't create folders on the iPod. If yu hav a Yahoo IMAP account, you can usually create folders usning web mail and they will appear on the iPod. If you have the more common POP3 account then yu can't create folder that will appear on the iPod.

TS3276 Sent a 22 MB file and since then unable to receive e-mails and the file keeps "ghosting back" to my recovered messages folder. Help!

Sent a 22 MB file and since then unable to receive e-mails and the file keeps "ghosting back" to my recovered messages folder. Help!

thanks for your reply. I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
yes, I thought my limits were 20 MB, but I let my client talk me into trying to send it anyway (won't be doing that again). I actually spent some time with the apple tech support person (who was awsome!) and he had me delete some files from my mail folder in the Administrator folder and changed some settings in my mail prefernces.
Everything is working fine now.

Mac Mail trash folder disappeared. Deleted mail now appears in 'drafts' and Any ideas?stays in the 'in box'.

Mac Mail trash folder disappeared. Deleted mail now appears in 'drafts' and Any ideas?stays in the 'in box'. Any one have any ideas as to why or how to fix?

Hi k:
That file is in your home folder ~(symbol for home)>library>preferences.
A preference file may (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed. You will need to enter any personal preferences that differ from the default settings.

Jumbled Fonts in Mail and Browser

I am having problems with the fonts on my iMac with 10.4 in Apple Mail and Safari.
The fonts look all jumbled up, a bit like greek. I read up it could be the font cache files. I used Onyx to delete the font cache files, but this did not resolve it.
Does anyone else know how to resolve this?
Problem is I don't have the system discs for this unit, so if there is another solution other than clean install that would be great.
Here is what it looks like

Tom,
My posts were very badly written because of fever, sorry. However, I can't agree with your simple evaluation of my competence to offer an alternative test and fix, or competence in general. Here's a summary of my posts.
1. The internet community recommends UTF-8 for browsers, e-mail, and it's being recommended by many for files. Because of the large number of processes a letter passes through on route to the printer, the problem can be a strange error, as the thread referred to showed.
2. Apple Mail can display strange errors when forwarding mail. Mail is still primitive: left & right double quotes are represented by a single mark, single quotes are as well; and Italic is replaced by slanted Roman (begun by Adrian Frutiger). Mail will improve.
3. In case UTF-8 was being used, and it's second plane, Cyrillic, was printed instead of the first plane of ASCII Roman because of damage to the module that converts it, I offered a test for this. I see no problem with the test. The keyboard was in apropos, and the RFC was misinterpreted. Neither error did much harm, and I correct suggesting a new keyboard here.
4. I corrected misinterpreting the RFC.
My approach to reading such posts would be to clarify the confusion, as above, and to note that trying a new keyboard had no purpose.
Your post repeated BDAqua's appropriate, initial step, without details. This is a good maintenance activity, which should be done after installing a new font. However, if two fonts have the same internal name (a font conflict), isn't an error message displayed? This is why I offered an alternative possibility.
I doubt the OP knows what a 'junk font' is (I've never encountered one in forty years of collecting free fonts similar to the classics). I have hundred of free text fonts, and all were verified. BDAqua's post would have found your declared error.
I cannot contribute for at least two weeks, possibly longer. However, I suggest your posts be kinder and more explanatory in the future. Bye.
