Mail confirm messages; rules

Is there any way of getting rid of mail confirmation messages; for example, when I want to bounce a message, I shouldn't have to see a dialog box every time. After all, I can delete a message without having to see a confirmation dialog box. Is there some kind of hidden preference for this?
I want to create a rule as follows:
Message is from some sender AND the word "foo" is not found more than five times in the message body.
Is this possible? If so, how?
I get a digest of "foo" several times a day; however most of the messages in the "foo" group have nothing to do with "foo" -- they are about "bar" or are spam. I'd like the digests that aren't about "foo" to go directly into the trash, but the word "foo" is found at the beginning and end of the message -- at the top where the group name is, and at the bottom where the subscribe/unsubscribe information is.
Thanks in advance.

Check the iCloud.com website and look for a rule that may have been created there.

  • TS4083 My folders that message rules divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder for it to update. Is there a way around this? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail

    My folders that my message rules on iCloud divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder individually for it to update. A real pain as I have about 30 folders. Is there a way around this ? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail without having to select each one of them. Can the iPad and iPhone do the same thing?

    My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years).  I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely. 
    Is this what I have to do? 
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do I transfer Mail Message Rules between Macs?

    How do I transfer Mail Message rules from an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 to an iMac running OS X 10.8.5? The names of the plist files don't match.

    The easiest way to accomplish this is to *create a new admin account* in the System Preferences/Accounts Pref Pane. Once the new admin account *(make sure the Allow user to administer this computer is checked in the new account)* is set up and performing like it should (by logging into it and verifying that you can actually administer the computer), change your primary account (the account that owns your emails) to a standard account by un-checking the *Allow user to administer this computer* in the Accounts Pref Pane. You can still administer the computer with your standard account, you will have to provide your admin login and password in the Authentication dialog boxes.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I import message rules, etc. to Mail?

    I'm moving from an MBP with Snow Leopard to a new one running Yosemite. I use Apple Mail for my email client.  I have all my email accounts set up on the new computer, and it's downloading messages..  and all the old Mailboxes survived the migration-- but there's nothing in them.
    How do I
    1- import the  Message rules to Yosemite's Mail, I have the MessageRules.plist but can't find a Library to put them in! is there another way?
    2- Is there a way to import the messages filtered into the mailboxes on the old MBP? The computer has downloaded all the non-filtered ones, but the new ones leave the inbox and so they're not on the new computer.
    3- is there a way to set up these mailboxes and rules/ filters on my mobile devices? I have an old iPhone4 running iOS7 and a iPad2 with iOS8.
    I use Gmail for most of my mail, but don't much like the UI, I prefer Mails. I monitor 4 Gmail accounts plus the iCloud and 1 with my own domain.
    many thanks for any help

    If you setup your iCloud mail on all of your devices/computers, it will behave just like any IMAP account will. As for mail rules, not possible on any iPhone. Read here:

  • Exporting to PDF - Selection Formula confirmation message

    Hi,
    We're using Crystal Reports 11 from within a Delphi 7 application which, on a timed schedule, loads data into a MS SQL server database and generates and prints or e-mails a report of the data loaded in PDF format. This process should be automatic and not require monitoring but we're now seeing the report generation being stalled by a confirmation message appearing when the report is generated. The message reads:
    Confirm
    Selection Formula for {Report Name} to Printer   // or To Export
    {Selection Formula Here}
    Continue?
    (RETRY=edit with Crystal, All=copy to clipboard)
    Buttons: Yes No Retry All
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I'm wondering if this could be easily fixed by going to the links panel and then use the "Copy Links To" and set up a new links folder for the job.
    That would copy all the links and then relink to that folder - right?
    Perhaps that's a quick way to get rid of this problem.
    It could be anything though - I've had weird, but not this problem, of files that are on a server can cause link problems.
    I don't know - it's a one of those have to sit down and look at the files to see what's going on situation - like Bob already said.

  • File to File transfer with a Mail Confirmation using BPM

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to configure a scenario where I will pick a file, send it to the appropriate receiver and send an acknowledgement mail to a mail account.
    I have created necessary business process, interfaces, mappings, data types in IR. Also, I have done configuration accordingly in ID.
    My question is, how should I design the BPM so that after send/receive file task is complete, it would send a simple message to an email accound which includes a simple text like "message sent"? My scenario will get more complicated later, but for now, this would be more than enough.
    I used file sender/receiver and a mail receiver communication channel in ID and configured them. My mail c.c. connects to a smtp server.
    For the BPM, I start the process with a "Receive" step with my file interface message. After, there's the "Send" step which sends the file using the same abstract message interface to send the file to my receiver service.
    No problem till here. This BPM works ok for these two steps.
    For mail option, I added a third step to my BPM which is a "Send" step using the abstract mail interface I had created with a data type which only has a field containing my confirmation message. So, the new BPM is in order:
    Receive File - Send File - Send Mail
    But, this won't work. In the workflow, I can see a messages saying
    Waiting for event 'RECEIVED' of object type 'ZXI_PROXY_G001_MI_IDOC_AB_0001'
    and an error at Result Processing - Execution step.
    Is this because there's no "Receive" step for my mail interface? How can I configure a simple BPM for this case?
    Listing of steps for the BPM would be more than sufficient. Thanks!

    Gökhan,
    What is the receiver in your case? Bcoz if is synchronous then you can see if its successfully delivered or not and send email based upon the status . If its Asynchronous wht ever the case it might be, u will send an e-mail stating message sent. Could you please clarify the above functionality.
    oops!! I'm sorry in your case File is the receiver, even though wht ever happened do u need to send email is it..

  • Message rule for sent messages

    Hi,
    I have successfully converted and repaired all my Outlook Express mail to Apple Mail 3.5 with Emailchemy. I have aprox 450 folders and 5000 mails. I have used more than 200 rules to organize my incoming messages but I cannot find the way to store "sent messages" in the right folder. I don´t want to store my replies in sent messages. I need my reply inside the folder where the message rule previously stored my incoming message. is it possible?
    Warmest regards,

    There are several possibilities.
    The simplest of course is not to bother. When you reply to a message, Mail puts a link (a little anti-clockwise curved arrow) in the status column of the original message, and clicking on that brings up the reply.
    You could set up Smart mailboxes. This would leave the replies in the Sent mailbox, but also make them visible in the appropriate Smart box. The rules for the various Smart boxes would have to be designed to pick up both original messages and replies.
    If you really must get the replies into the same folder as the originals, you will need some sort of Applescript. You could for example have a Mail rule, fired by any incoming message, which runs an script to look at all messages in the Sent box, and identifies the box to move each to. How is your scripting?
    Another script-based possibility is to have a script to generate the replies. Since it would know which box it was working from, it would know which box to put the reply in, and it would require less maintenance (as your requirements change) than the previous.
    Perhaps the best solution for you, requiring the least effort, would be to use the Mail option to automatically CC (or BCC) yourself. The resulting copy is an incoming message - so your 200 rules should pick it up and move it to the appropriate mail box.

  • MN05 vs SCOT: How to obtain mail status messages (with SP 8)?

    Since we've installed SP 8, we don't receive E-mail status messages anymore.
    In MN05 we always had two communication strategies (defined by "Doc Type/Purch. Org/Vendor") :
    Vendor 1 (ex.: 123hotmail.com)
    Send status/Requested statuts is set to "Return All Statuses"
    send statuts/Status by Mail is set to "All Statuses"
    SCOT is currently set to "not expecting any receipt confirmation or exceptions".
    If we add « hotmail.com » in the domain exception list, our users will receive a status message for everything that is sent to this domain.
    But the goal is to receive status message only for the two vendors defnied in the comm. strategy.
    Any idea?

    I made this test...
    In SCOT,  I added this address as an exception: 123<at>hotmail.com.
    Then in ME9F, I edit my message to the vendor 123<at>hotmail.com... And I receive a receipt confirmation, good.
    Then I edit a message to the vendor 789<at>hotmail.com... And I receive a receipt confirmation too, that's the problem...

  • E-mail confirmation notification

    Is there a way to get an e-mail confirmation once the recipient has opened the e-mail.

    Yes (and possible no).  When you draft an e-mail there should be a small "check box" (white square looking)  at the top (above your "From" line) next to the phrase "return receipt" ... that is what you check to get the requested receipt.
    And the no ... when I ran a Help Desk, we disabled the return receipt.  Why? So that the users did not see when we opened and catorgized their request.  This is necessary to triage work, and keeps the user from hounding us with "but you read my email..."
    Send a message to yourself with the read receipt and see. Let me know if it works for you...

  • Mail.app and rules...

    Since upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 I've had random issues with mail.app.
    Rules have been an issue since upgrading. Application of rules was more or less OK, except for one set of messages that apparently the new mail.app couldn't/wouldn't filter, even when I deleted the old imported rule and created a new one. :-/
    Today I find that mail.app has decided to stop applying all rules. If I select a single message and choose Apply Rules from the Message menu, it gets filtered as desired, except the messages mentioned above which still are not filtered.
    Did I forget to buy the special superSecret, available only by special invitation from you know who, iDecoderRing?
    Hints? Tips? No, I'm not interested in going to Thunderbird, at least not yet. I use it elsewhere and like it, but...
    Thanks,
    - John

    How many condition entries do you have in the failing rule(s)? How many rules do you have? I have found that if a rule got too big I started seeing inconsistent execution - in this case auto-move of incoming mail based upon sending email address. Don't ask me how big is too big - I didn't capture that info, maybe 25+. I did find that reducing the number of entries within a rule once that rule became problematic did no good. I had to delete the offending rule and add a new (smaller) rule. The inconsistent auto-move behavior I was seeing went away when I had a smaller number of smaller rules.
    But now I'm seeing a different rule problem
    I have set up four rules to change each mail entry's color based upon its age. Same inconsistent behavior as above - but I can't trace it to running mail.app continuously for days or anything like that. I reboot/restart my MBP at least 1X/day. It appears that the rules engine simply get "lazy" after some unknown time period until it gets woken up by going to Message > Apply Rules. The "lazy" behavior is that it only executes the first active rule rather than all active rules.

  • Mail.app and rules, again

    Hi,
    I still have the same problem, and I can see that I'm not the only one that is experiencing rule issues. For me the mail rules stop working automatically after mail has been open for a few days, but if I "Apply Rules" to individual messages they work fine. Except for one that refuses to move the message to the designated folder. I know the rule is being executed because I have it change the color of the text, and that is working, just not the move. I also noticed that if I select all the new mail and "Apply Rules" none of the rules seem to be applied.
    Finally, is there any way to tell mail to apply the rules to the inbox without selecting the individual messages? That would be very useful when mail "forgets" to apply the rules to incoming mail.
    This is very frustrating. Before I upgraded to Leopard I had no problems at all with mail.app.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted...

  • Tiger to Leopard Mail Boxes and Rules?????

    Can I drag my mail boxes and rules from a tiger system (10.4.11) to a leopard system (10.5.2)?
    Thank you

    I intended to drag from/to ~user<me>/Library/mail.
    As I do sometimes, I posted the question then went and experimented. Wondering now if I can reverse what I did. I imported the mailboxes from the tiger machine, then modified the rules to point to the Import/mail box name.
    Thinking it would be preferable to not have the Import mail box folder. So maybe I can drag the Imported folder to the trash and as you and the next guy suggested, just drag my tiger Mail folder and .plist file to leopard????

  • Mail inbox messages disappear with gmail IMAP

    I've just set up an IMAP connection to my gmail account in Mail and after reading a message in my inbox, the message disappears from my inbox and I can only find the email in All Mail.
    Looking in gmail, the gmail inbox still contains all of the emails that should be in it, so I know that gmail isn't filtering or archiving read emails. Additionally, on my phone my inbox shows properly so I know that my problem lies with Mail itself.
    I have deleted all my rules from Mail, so I know no filtering is going on at the Mail level either.
    If anybody could please help me out...
    Thanks,
