Mail: make address icons smaller ?

I'm in Mail.
In the left most column, I have 37 e-mail accounts in each of the Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders / headings.
Somehow, I pushed the wrong button, checked or unchecked the wrong thing somewhere and now have large icons, which look like an empty antique, wooden desktop of old Inbox.
Since they are large now there's spacing between each e-mail address making it necessary to scroll down when I want to see all of the incoming mail.
How can I get back to smaller icons so I again see this list without scrolling ?
Thanks.

Hello, I've never seen anything to do this (I'm not sure why you'd need to either). The default icon size is 57x57 and it looks like that's what it has to stay like.
The icons would still be in a grid and you wouldn't be able to move anything into the 57x57 (plus margin) space where the normally sized icon would be.
I imagine, that the touch sensitivity part of the icon would remain at 57x57 so even though the image would be smaller the 'touch' part would be the same.

  • How can I make iTunes icons smaller?

    Using my mini with a full-size monitor, when I open iTunes and try to look at my music library via "album," I get gigantic icons of albums. this takes up way too much room on the screen. Changing it is evidently done by a preference somewhere, but neither the system preferences (in Finder) nor the iTunes preferences seem to take up this matter. Thank you.

    Hi, I've never found a way to do it, best I can do is use View>List instead of Grid or Coverflow.

  • Make bookmark icon gone

    The small make bookmark icon (small square with right arrow in it) no longer appears next to the "open book" icon in Safari or anywhere else.  IPad 3 IOS 7. Rarely used so don't know when it disappeared.  Suggestions appreciated.

    You should have a 'share' icon of a square with an upware pointing arrow to the left of the URL address field in Safari :
    Tapping that shoud give you a number of options, including 'bookmark'.

    Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
    Are you using iCloud?
    For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

    nope.
    all versions prior to a3 had it but for some reason they removed this option with aperture 3.

  • How do you make the movie icons smaller in the new iTunes?

    I recently updated my iTunes to the lastest version (11.0).  In the previous version I could adjust the movie icon sizes to make the icon larger or smaller.  I can't easily figure out how to do that anymore.  Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the movie icons in the new iTunes?

    If there is an option for adjusting the size of the movie icons, I haven't been able to find it.

  • How to make a photo small so I can send it by e-mail

    want to know how it make a photo small on my desktop so I
    can send it by e-mail, thank you

    I suppose there might be an extension, but you would be better off using a free photo editor.
    I use "IrfanView" (irfanview.com) to work with photographs.
    I use "PicPick" (picpick.org) to work from a screen print ("PrtSc") or capture to crop and annotate.
    *Also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Posting_a_screenshot_on_the_forum#Windows
    *also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    Something simpler may or may not be:
    :Picnik (picnik.com), online photo editing, fix photos, crop, resize, rotate, artsy effects, fonts, shapes.
    You also have alternatives storing the picture and./or elsewhere and providing a link
    * imageshack.com
    * dropbox.com
    If you have access to the image through Firefox, this extension looks promising

    Saving files to your desktop is not the best place.

  • How do I make icons smaller in Launchpad

    how do I make icons smaller in Launchpad? any ideas anyone?

    How silly...wanting to change icon size on YOUR computers with an operating system that YOU purchased.  Clearly you known by now that Apple knows what you need even if you THINK DIFFERENTLY.  Pretty ironic.l
    It's like wanting to turn off versioning in Lion's Preview, TextEdit, Pages and Numbers.  Apple knows what's best for you and you can't turn it off.  Or, how about making your Library folder permanently visible without using the command line in Terminal.  Sorry. 
    Finally, the long list of system preferences that must be changed (including using Terminal) grows longer and longer. It's great if Apple wants to iPadize the Mac OS...it's not right if simple ways are not provided for experienced users to turn off those features.

  • The New Mail page no longer has an "address" icon at the top.  what happened?

    The New Mail page no longer has an "Address" icon at the top.  What happened?

    Big --
    Go up to the "View" menu, and pull down the "Columns" and "Sort by" menu options.  Do you see what you want there?  When you say "Address" do you mean "From?"
    Just saw BDA's response. 
    Are you talking about Safari, or the Mail app?

    Thank you, "the-edmeister" -- You render a great service, one that lifts my spirits.
    Your answer also taught me to be a little more persistent, as I had started looking at Preferences, and just didn't notice the icons (including Applications) at the top of that window that would have led me to my answer.

  • Is it possible to make the desktop smaller? cover less of the screen?

    the internet explorer was a troublesome browser at best but i liked the smaller desktop. i.e. it didnt take up so much of the screen. i like to run my browser and e-mail page at the same time so with the browser taking up the whole screen i cant see if i have any new e-mails. i know i can select the smaller desktop using the button upper right by the red "close" x but i want to make it even smaller.

    Apfelwurm,
    Thank you for the quick response! Very much appreciated.

  • Mail and Address book playing up

    Hello. I am having problems with my Mail and Address book. For some reason, sent mails sometimes do not end up in the Sent folder, received emails sometimes go to the Trash without me sending them there, and I often have to resort to "Search" in the top right hand corner of the screen to find the mail I am looking for. What's more, my address book has stopped working properly: I can create groups but each group shows the general contact list by its side, even upon creation! I cannot add or delete from the group list. Basically, it seems like the two programes have gone all wonky tonky. This may or may not have to do with the recent Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta problems. I posted here in that regard but since the problems I noticed disappeared of their own accord, I did not bother reinstalling all as suggested. Reinstalling everything is simply too much hassle for me ... I use address book a lot and need things to work. Does anyone have a quick fix for this? Could this be caused by the faulty Apple January update? thank you in advance!

    You should back up what you have.
    Then, restart from your Mac OS X Installation Disk (insert disk and hold down C key during startup). At the first Installer screen, run Disk Utility from the menu. Use both the Repair and Repair Permissions routines on the hard drive. Do Repair first, because you problem sounds like a disk directory issue. If Disk Utility cannot make the repair, you may need a tool like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.

  • Mail and address book data file location

    Does anyone know where mail and address book saves its data?
    My old mac died but I was able to remove the hard drive and mount it in a external firewire case. The drive mounts and appears in good shape. I tried using the migration utility to transfer my data into my new iMac. While a lot of data and applications did make the move, my mail files and folders did not show up on my new iMac. I'm hoping I can transfer the mail files manually. The problem is I can't find where they are located on my old computer. I was using Max os 10.4.11 on my old computer.
    The same problem with my address book data. It did not transfer over with migration app. and I can't locate this data either.

    The majority of Mail is in...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    AB...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

  • Mail and Address Book corrupted?

    When I open my Applications folder, the two icons for Mail and Address Book have changed to an unfamiliar icon (it's a picture of blank pages with an overlaid "A" similar to the ruler-and-pencil application icon). Moreover, neither application will open. I've tried restarting and I haven't connected and USB devices to swap the icons (a known issue)...what's happened?
    Thanks!
    Matt

    Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using (which you haven’t provided), unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
    Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
    You may also have to reinstall the following Security Update, which includes most of the security updates released after Mac OS X 10.3.9:
    Security Update 2007-007 for Mac OS X 10.3.9
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
