Mail rule for flagged messages

Does anyone know a way I could set up a rule so when I flag a read message it moves to a particular folder (mailbox)? Like, I get a "statement to view" message from a credit card company, but I don't have time to see it now, so I flag it and it moves to a folder called "Things to do later", or whatever...

Yeah, just create a smart mailbox looking for flagged messages.

  • 10.9.2 Mail - Shows 5 flagged messages;  clicked - no messages in the list

    My upgrade from OS X Lion 10.7.5 to OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 was fairly straightforward.   No major issues.
    However, Mail shows 5 flagged messages.  When clicking on Flagged indicator, there are no message in the list.    Strange.   Everything else appears to work as expected.

    Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

  • Mountain Lion upgrade effects mail rules for all users

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the mail rules appear to be "shared" for all user on our Mac. When a user adds a rule, everyone sees this rule.  Some mail rules are lost in the process.  How can we fix this?

    If it is hanging on the 'upgrading database' portion please see this discussion and the solution posted by registerednderd at the bottom of the first page.  It worked for me at least to get past the 'upgrading database' hangup and then to import the old messages.

  • 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.

  • Absence of Mail Notification for undelivered messages.

    I have recently sent some important mail messages with attachments, they never arrived and I didn't get any notification to let me know. I have looked and can't find anywhere that I can 'switch' this setting on. As far as I am aware they were within the size limit but I have noticed that even if messages with attachments are just slightly less than the allowed size they won't even leave my mailbox. Is there anything I can do about both these problems. Thank You.

    There a few issue here. First, if an e-mail doesn't go through, it's up to the server that didn't hand it off to send back a message to inform you of it. There's nothing to do in Apple Mail (or any other e-mail program, for that matter) to set in order to request notification. It's quite possible that a server botched handling mail along the way, and it's far more likely that mail was not delivered because something in the message cause SPAM-blocking software to throw it out (these days, that's the most likely scenario), in which case you'd never be notified.
    Mail has no limit on the size of messages. Your Internet service provider may have limits, and the recipient's e-mail service may also have limits. What happens if you go over the limit is really up to the mail services involved. Your local service provider is likely to return an error to Mail at the time you attempt to send it, indicating that it can't be sent. Your recipient's mail service could: throw the message away, strip out the attachments, or return the message back to you with an explanation why it's refused. There's no rule to state that the recipient's mail service has to do anything in particular.
    Generally speaking, for anything other than a trivial image, you want to place the file in some web-accessible location and then send a link to where the file can be retrieved.
    Also, keep in mind that when you attach a file to an e-mail message, it grows in size by 35%. This is because e-mail is a text-only service, non-text data needs to be converted to text for e-mailing and the conversion method is called "base-64 encoding". Base-64 encoding uses 4 letter to represent every 3 bytes of data in a file (and it adds a few extra characters). So, if you attach a 10M file, your e-mail attachment's actual size will be 13.5M.

  • Incorrect count for Flagged messages

    I'm using Mail (Lion) with my Gmail account.
    The current number of Flagged messages (the Starred messages in Gmail) is inaccurate. Messages that show up as unstarred in the Gmail web interface remain starred in the Mail app -- I've confirmed this with each message individually.
    I should add that if I look up Flagged messages in the Smart Mailboxes list, I get an accurate count. I just don't see a correct count in Reminders > Flagged.
    Apart from deleting my account and redownloading everything, is there something I can do to make the Mail app perform correctly? I had been using Sparrow but I'm tired of that app's ridiculously slow start-up speed.
    Thanks

    Just wondering if I have to delete my accounts and reconnect with Gmail here. Also, how else do I reset the Mail app?

  • Mac Mail: Check for new messages doesn't work

    Hi,
    In Mac Mail the setting at  "Preferences -> Check For New Messages" I have set for manual and yet Mail still fetches emails when I haven't asked it too. I previously had this setting set to check for messages every hour but it ignored that setting too so I set it to manual but this setting is ignored. Ideally I'd like to check mail every four hours but there isn't a setting for that.
    I'm running Lion and have IMAP email accounts.
    Any idea how I can get Mac Mail not to ignore my Check For New Messages setting?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the link. Well I never would have found that out without some help. I saw the IDLE in the IMAP settings I didn't know it was a kind of PUSH / FETCH thing. Anyway I've got it on manual now and only seems to get emails when I send one or press the button. I've only changed it a little while ago so I hope this is actually fixed.
    Thanks again it was driving me nuts!

  • Mail Aliases for Sending Messages

    The problem:
    I have an IMAP server that is correctly setup and working fine with Mail.app. When I want to send a message, whoever receives it will see the following identification: myname "[email protected]".
    However, I share this account with my wife and want to keep it this way. Thus, everytime she sends a message, whoever receives it will see the above id with my name and email address. What I want is to have a way of her sending the message with an alias so the sender id would be: mywifename "[email protected]".
    What I have tried so far
    After reading many "alias"-related posts in this and other fora, the closest solution I found was to create a dummy imap account for my wife (i.e. one with a dummy setting for the incoming messages and a correct smtp setting for her name and email addres), but that comes to the expense of getting an error message every time mail.app tries to retrieve messages from the dummy server address (unchecking the mail preferences-advanced option "Include when automatically checking for new mail" only partially solves the problem, as sometimes I use the "get mail" button and get the unwanted error message).
    Other thoughts
    I understand this is possible when you have a .Mac account, since it allows you to use its predefined aliases when sending a message, but I couldn't find a way of having the same flexibility with an external imap server.
    Thanks in advance for any hints on this issue.
    Best regards,
    Paulo

    Hello David,
    Thanks again for your time on this!
    I am comfortable with the concept of an alias. Still, I see the way .Mac implement their "alias" feature as a different process than just adding an email alias or, in other words, just adding another email address associated to a mail account.
    In my previous post I explained what I was able to do with what I am calling here as the .Mac "alias" feature, where I was able to not only associate another email address (i.e. an alias) to my .Mac account but to also associate another full name to that alias, and the whole pair full name "alias" to the email account.
    In the end, I have such pair linked to my one .Mac account so when sending an email from that account I can choose whether it will appear to whoever receives it as MyName "[email protected]" or as MyWifeName "[email protected]".
    This is exactly what I want to do, but at least with Mail.app I can only do it when using my .Mac account.
    I totally agree with your statement that Mail allows me to specify one Full Name for each mail account, but I can tell you from my first-hand experience that the above extra full name "alias" feature is also possible for a unique .Mac account. The apparent contradiction (one full name only vs. two pairs full name-email addresses for the same account) is, IMHO, caused by the way .Mac implements its "alias" feature. I would guess that my account has only one real full name, but the .Mac "alias" feature allows me to use other "extra full names" in conjunction to extra email addresses (i.e. alias) for that unique account. In a loose analogy, that might be working in a similar way the name and short name within a Mac OS X user account works (i.e. one unique account identifier, the short name, but with the possibility of having an extra identity for that account, the name).
    Anyway, the fact is that what I am already doing what I want to do (i.e. to have an extra pair MyWifeName "mywifename@myimapserver" for messages being sent from the same account) when using my .Mac account, but I can't do it with my other imap account. The workaround I cited in my first email is the best I could achieve so far, but it is a sub-optimal solution to say the least. Maybe there is a way of choosing an "extra" full name "alias" pair for the message being composed.
    All the best,
    Paulo

  • Why does Mail 'check for new messages' despite it being set to 'manual'?

    I want to only receive new email either once per hour or better still manually (once or twice during the day at a time chosen by me). That way I won't be bombarded with emails all day and can get on with my work.
    So, I set the 'check for new messages' to 'manually'.
    Nevertheless I get email coming in frequently. Possibly every time I send an email, it also checks for new incoming mail (I'm not sure but that's my hunch).
    How can I stop Mail from pulling in my new incoming email?
    Any answers to this? If I can't figure this out or it's not possible in Apple Mail, it might be time to switch (but I don't want to!)
    Thanks in advance
    Dan

    Thanks Linc, works great.
    There should be a hint for this in Mail's preferences, underneath the 'check for messages' option

  • Mail & rules for junks

    Hy,
    I've made several rules in my mail.app for the junk mails, which are pretty efficient (email subject > goes to trash > mark as read).
    But, I still have the "new zmail" sound each time there's a junk coming.
    How can I can get rid of this sound just for these emails ?
    I've read that the only solution is to disable completely the new email sound and make a rule for each mail box... but I'm not sure about how to do that...
    Thanx
    Alan

    @ssh Mac, @Mike : thanks for your posts. I'm guessing this is a flaw of either Mail or the OSX v10.5.6 since I read elsewhere that IMAP used to work fine before Leopard got its last update. I'm hoping it gets fixed in v10.5.7.
    Cmd-A + Alt-Cmd-L is what I'm doing right now for a long time. Not something I like. I have a Griffin Powermate set to do that but its not something I'm looking forward to doing forever.
    However, I'd love to have an AppleScript which would read "Select all in Inbox and apply rules 1 minute after Mail startup" but I'm totally ignorant about scripting...

  • E-mail address for release messages with medium 5

    In transaction process purchase orders, when a PO is outputted via mail and more  than one e-mail address is defined for a vendor address, the system uses the one that is marked as 'Standard'. So, the e-mail address must be selected before the message is created.
    Is there any workaround to avoid this and for example, select a different e-mail address directly from the Output screen(Create and release message)?
    Thanks in advance,
    E.Barrantes

    Hi Elena,
    Since you are using the Medium 5 which is external send, you can copy the driver program and write your owm custom logic to change the Email id and populated accordingly.

  • Thunderbird 2.8Gb, Apple Mail 9Gb for same messages

    I have all my mail from the last thirteen years in both Thunderbird 3 which uses 2.8 Gb, and Apple Mail 4.2 which uses 9 Gb for the same messages.
    There are no duplicates in the Apple Mail, and the attachments all seem to be present and correct in Thunderbird.
    Is there an explanation for the difference?
    I know I can archive the Apple Mail mailboxes but then Spotlight can't search them.
    There doesn't seem to be any "compact" option.
    Thanks for any input.
    EDIT: I meant to say that this mail is all "on my mac" and is all the mail from my POP days, before I converted to IMAP.

  • Gmail 'All mail' listed for every message in smart folders

    With the new Gmail integration, every one of my smart folder message lists show each message as being in 'All mail'.  While this is true, I'd much prefer it if it showed me any *other* folders/tags the message is part of, which is much more interesting.
    Is this the common experience?
