Mail Rule Using If Any or All

Is there a way to make this work as one rule? I want it to move all of my sent and received Craig's List emails that are older than 30 days into one mailbox. As one rule with If conditions set to "all" does nothing, and with If conditions set to "any" moves every email older than 30 days, not just Craig's List emails.

Is there any way to set a mail rule using an applescript code?

I just wanted to know if there is a way to set a rule using a applescript, so that I can send it to a friend.

You will need to use OLE on the client, which would further require the use of WebUtil. Here (below) are a couple of MS examples that you would need to convert to pl/sql. There are a variety of Oracle notes which discuss reading and writing to MS Word and Excel. These can likely be used as a starting place to talk to Outlook. There is a WebUtil demo which includes an example of how to write to MS Word. It can be found on the WebUtil home page:

SInce uploading 3.1 version I cannot send a reply to an e-mail or forward an e-mail. Using Verizon. Tried all the suggestions of clearing the cache, history,etc

Since uploading version 3.1 of firefox I cannot reply to emails or forward them (I use Verizon webmail). I can send newly composed emails however. Using another browser (explorer) I do not have these issues. I have deleted all cookies, cleared the cache, cleared the history, etc. Appreciate your efforts to help! Thanks.

Several users have reported this -- here is a long thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1006704 verizon email..can't reply to emails says null status:404].
At this point, no one has posted a diagnosis of why this function is no longer working in Firefox 31. Unfortunately, with hundreds of changes in each version, it is difficult to track down without "hands on".
In the meantime, if you need to use Firefox for your Verizon mail, you have the option of reinstalling Firefox 30 (so long as you know there are security implications). See: [[Install an older version of Firefox]].

Unable to completely load some websites so I can navigate them. This began when I allowed Yahoo e-mail to use the "https" on all of the e-mail earlier today. The IE is still loading websites without a problem. FF is the my primary browser.

OS, XP SP3, AV ESET NOD 32, Version 5. Zone Alarm Extreme, hardwired firewall.
Some websites (1 especially) only a few options appear and when I click nothing happens. The site is like "dead". Using the IE, it opens and I can navigate it. I never had this problem before, however it has appeared with a few other sites as well, starting today. No matter which URL I select for this website, it comes up with the same appearance.

Hi,
According to your description, it seems like 3rd app process startup with Windows caused this problem.
In my opinion, it would be better to use Autoruns to check Window Startup items if there is any IE activX start with IE.
Download Autoruns:

Pleasse use Autoruns to check system startup items carefully, and try to remove 3rd items for test.

Mail rules on Mac OS X 10.6 Server

Hi,
can some body help me.
I wold like to create some server mail rules, that should work for all people that have an mail account on server, but i can only create for each member separatly.
I would like to create new folder for junk mail and move there all emails that are marked as junk mail from server.
I'm using an imap mail acounts on my mac os x 10.6.2 server.

You may have more luck with back-end matters if you ask in the Mac OS X Server area.
I presume you've read the information starting on page 36 of the Mail Services Administration guide in the Mac OS X 10.6 Server documentation, and the notes in the appendix in that guide, yes?
Regards.

Mail Rules Sync in Yosemite

My mail rules used to sync via iCloud just fine under Mavericks. The mail rules help topic in Yosemite now says that should happen using iCloud Drive; however, it's not working for me. I'm trying to sync my rules from my MBPro to my new Mac Mini. The MBPro was upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite and the Mac Mini came with Yosemite out of the box. icloud Drive is enabled on both. When using Finder to browse iCloud Drive files, the listings seem to match and changes I make to one show up on the other relatively quickly. Mail is listed in the iCloud System Preferences list of apps that use iCloud Drive on both systems, but there is no Mail folder on iCloud Drive. Am I missing anything? As far as i can tell, everything is set up by the book. It just doesn't work for Mail.

N Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending. Anybody have any idea how to stop this?

Automatically cc myself is not checked. I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab. Thanks

Mail rules -- apply only to inbox or all mailboxes?

I've done a major revamp of my Mail application. I used to have a dozen or so mailboxes, and some had rules that would move newly arrived messages from my inbox to a designated mailbox.
I've now opted instead to use a dozen or so 'smart mailboxes.' I've moved all my messages back to my inbox and deleted the dozen or so mailboxes. The smart mailboxes nicely filter the messages as I've constructed the smart mailbox rules. However, I still have two mailboxes whose content isn't easily filtered via smart mailboxes.
Now, back to my inbox .... It's got a few thousand messages. My goal is to create a mail rule in preferences that would move anything older than 30 days into secondary mailbox. If I write this rule and run it, does it apply ONLY to my inbox? Or to the inbox and any other mailboxes?

I played around with it and found out that my rule to move older docs to a separate folder only runs on my inbox, as I had hoped.

Can i use Boolean Expressions in Mail Rules?

Can i use Boolean Expressions in Mail Rules?
I need to create a rule to check whether a message contains BOTH a first and last name of EITHER of two people.
For example, the rule im looking to create goes something like this:
If ANY of the following conditions are met:
message content - contains - john & doe
message content - contains - jane & doe
ive tried and cant seem to get it to work...
Message was edited by: mysterioso

AFAIK Mail rules do not support boolean expressions.
to do what you want you'd have to create two rules
rule 1
if ALL of the following conditions are met
message content - contains - john
message content - contains - jdoe
and similarly for rule 2.

Using "Flagged" in a Mail rule

I want to make all Flagged messages a different color (as well as being flagged) and looked at using a simple mail rule. However "Message is Flagged" is not a Mail rule criterion so it appears impossible to make something along the lines of: If any message is flagged, set colour of message to yellow...
Is there another way to achieve this result?

Hi,
I tried the same requirement as yours and it seems to be working in my case.
     IF( "BegBalance" -> "SA300" == +2011+ )
          "SA400" = #MISSING;
     ELSEIF("BegBalance" -> "SA300" == +2012+ )
          "SA400" = +1+;
     ENDIF
where SA300 and SA400 are my smart list members and +2011,2012+ and +1+ is are smart list ID which are numeric.

Need help filtering spam using Mail Rules

Hello
My me.com address is on a **** spam email circulation list. Most of the emails come from .RU or .UA and every email address is different. I receive up to 3 a day.
I have tried Mail rules to filter this, but for some reason it is not working. I have tried filtering the individual email address and all .RU addresses, but the Mail filter just doesn't apply the rule.
I normally use Aliases for any only registration - so I am not sure how my real me.com account name was found. I have also tried VIW/MESSAGE/RAW SOURCE (see results below). I have replaced my me.com email address with "[email protected]".
This spam is driving me nuts, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

I am having exactly the same problem with mail not applying the rules. I have a rule set that if any mail is considered junk mail, to redirect it to [email protected] and to move it to the trash folder. I click "apply rules" on my junk mail, nothing happens. New spam comes in that it marks as Junk, nothing happens. I mark an email as junk, nothing happens.
After over a year of problem after problem with my mac, I have almost lost faith. Can someone please help us?? Is anyone out there??
Thank you,
Kristen

Is there any way to have Mail automatically use our default "Sent" folder?

We are a small college, with a fair number of users who use Macs and iOS devices, and we run an IMAP mail server. By default, our accounts are configured with Sent, Trash, Drafts, and Junk folders. Apple's Mail.app insists on "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" rather than "Sent" and "Trash".
We instruct our users to use the menu command Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > commands to select our server's folders on their desktops, and on iOS to use the Settings > Mail > Account > Advanced, but this is tedious and annoying. Most users get it about half right, so that some devices use our default "Sent", and some use "Sent Messages". (This happens with Trash as well, but most users are not concerned if their Trash differs device to device.)
Is there any server setting that can hint to Mail.app that it should use "Sent" rather than "Sent Messages"?
Apple has a support document about this issue, "Mountain Lion Mail: If messages aren't stored where expected on the server" ( http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11810 ).
However, that doc (and the similar one for Snow Leopard) merely says, "When Mail stores messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn’t find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them on the server or, failing that, on your Mac."
The document does not specify what the "specific mailboxes" are, and certainly does not suggest that there is any way to have it cooperate better with our server, but perhaps there is a way?
(If I was trying to be a good IMAP client, I might look for any of "Sent", "Sent Messages", or "Sent Items", and use what I found before going to the next step of creating my own folder. Hard to imagine that any IMAP account would be initially configured without some "Sent" folder, so why not try to discover what the user has before pig-headly making your own.)

Unfortunately, I have not found a consise way to explain this to the general user, just a huge wall of text to work around something that Apple got wrong the first time they created an IMAP client, and has stubbornly persited with. Here's our documentation for this silly problem:
Special Folders on IMAP
The basic idea is that all IMAP mail programs keep all your mail on our server, so that, e.g. when you read or reply to a message, all of your devices can then show that message as read and replied to.
By convention, each IMAP program treats a few folders on the server as "Special", such as a "Trash" folder, that deleted messages get moved to, and a "Sent" folder, where each message you send gets copied. When they all pick the same special folders, all of your devices will show the same view of your mail. However, if different devices use different server folders for their "special" Sent folder, then the mail from these two devices will wind up in two different places, and be harder to find.
Unfortunately, Apple's Mail programs are particularly obscure and obtuse in the way they treat these folders: They show their special Sent and Trash folders on screen with the obvious names "Sent" and "Trash", but secretly, under the covers, they insist on using folders named, "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" instead. Even if the server already has perfectly usable "Sent" and "Trash" folders, Apple clients will ignore them and create their own special case "special" folders.
If you only ever use Apple devices to look at your IMAP mail, you might never even notice their deception. But, if you sometimes use another mail client, such as webmail, you will encounter the confusing truth: When we created your account for the very first time, we add a "Sent" folder (actually named "Sent") and a Trash folder, named "Trash", and this is what everything except Apple's mail will use by default, because those folders are already their the first time the client connects to your account. However, even though Apple shows your special sent folder at the top of the list, with a paper-airplane icon, and labels it "Sent", in fact they ignore the existing "Sent" folder and make and use their own "Sent Messages."
SO, if you send some mail from webmail, it will be in your actual "Sent" folder, whereas if you send it from an Apple mail program, it will be put into your "Sent Messages" folder. If you look into either "Sent" special folder, you'll only find part of your previously sent mail.
Similarly for Trash, though most users find it more problematic to have two different Sent collections than to have multiple trash buckets.
To unify things, you can either set your non-Apple mail programs to use "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Items"; OR, you can set all of your Apple devices to use "Sent" and "Trash". Doesn't really matter which way you go, though if a majority of your devices are doing it a particular way, you should change the non-matching devices to agree with the majority.
(All clear so far? Why did Apple make this so hard? It would have been utterly simple for them to check for an existing "Sent" folder, and to use one if there is one, rather than to always stubbornly create and use a new "Sent Messages" folder. Then, they add to the problem by pretending that their new "Sent Messages" folder is really just named "Sent". Stupidity all the way down.)
Anyways, to find out what the majority of your devices are doing, check them each to see which of the "sent" folders shows up in the "normal" list of folders rather than in the "special" location, that is, what folder name is in the list at the bottom of the folder area, rather than up at the special "Sent" icon, (because the special one will always be labeled "Sent", not matter what the actual folder name is).
For example, say that on all-but-one of your mail setups, you see a "Sent Messages" folder down in the normal list, and on the other device, you see "Sent" down in the normal list.
In that case, you'd want to set the "different" device to make the folder named "Sent" be the special one, instead of the "Sent Messages" that it was currently using.
Conversely, if all but one showed "Sent" down in the regular folder area, and only one showed "Sent Messages", then you'd want to make "Sent Messages" the special folder on the odd device.
Once you have decided, see the specific sections below for the procedure to set the "special" folders for Apple's Mail.app on a Mac, Apple's Mail on an iPhone/Pad/Pod, or for RoundCube webmail, or for Thunderbird.
Once you have every device using the same sent folder, then you can move any messages from the "extra" version of the folder into your special folder, and then you can delete the extra folder. (If you delete this extra folder and it later re-appears, then it means one of your mail programs is still using it as its "special" folder, and recreating it.)
Similarly for Trash, though probably you could delete the extra trash folder without moving the files, because they are trash.
Here are the details for changing the Special Mail Folders on the systems we use:
A) iPhone, iPad, iPod:
As a first step, use Settings > Mail to set your device to read your email account, then open the Mail program so that it will read the list of all of your folders from the mail server. After that, go back to Settings > Mail to make sure it is using the desired special mailboxes on the server.
Select your IMAP account in the settings tool, and then press the button for "Advanced" settings, and find the list of special mailboxes, e.g. Sent, Trash, Drafts. For each, scroll through the list of folders on the server to choose the folder you wish to use for that function.
Note: iPhones/Pads/Pods also can be set to keep sent mail locally on the device. This is a spectacularly stupid choice for normal IMAP, as none of your other devices will be able to see the messages you send from your phone.
B) Mail.app on Mac desktops and laptops:
Set up mail so that it reads your messages and folders from the mail server.
Select the "Sent" folder that you wish to use in the list of folders at the lower left of the mail window. (On newer Macs, the folders may be hidden by default. Use the "View > Show Folder List" menu command to display them if necessary.)
Use the menu command "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent" to specify that the selected mail box is the special folder for sent mail, and similarly for your Trash, Junk, or Drafts folders.
C) RoundCube Webmail (with the standard skin):
Login to your webmail site , and select the "Settings" icon in the upper right of the window, which has a "Gear" icon. This will display a "Settings" panel with buttons for "Preferences", "Folders", and "Identities" settings. When you first open the Settings panel, the "Section" panel shows a row of buttons for different Preferences.
Click "Special Folders" in the "Section" list to open a list of "Drafts", "Sent", "Junk", and "Trash". Each special folder is followed by a menu of all your server folders. Select the server folder to use for each special folder.
D): Thunderbird:
After you have set up your connection to your IMAP account, click "Get Mail" to fetch your existing mail and list of folders on the server.
Next, select the menu command "Options > Account Settings…" (Note that on current versions of Thunderbird, the default menu drops down from an icon of three horizontal bars, in the upper right corner of the mail window. You can use the Options command in this menu to display a menu bar at the top of the Thunderbird window if you wish. With the full menu, the menu command to access the special folders settings is "Tools > Account Settings…"
Select "Copies and Folders" in the list at the left of the Account Settings window. This panel has a section for Sent mail, Archives, Drafts, and Templates. Select "Junk Settings" in the list at left to specify the location of the Junk special folder.
For each special folder, the default choice is the the folder on the server with the "typical" name, e.g. "Sent" for sent, and "Trash" for trash. To use a different name, select the "Other:" option for the folder, and then choose the desired folder from the list of folders on the server.
Oof! That's a lot of explaining for a issue that Apple should have gotten right in the first place, or at least should have fixed in their next several tries. It would not break any existing functionality if they merely used whatever folder the server had created, and only made their own if there was none.

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

Mail rules accidentally deleted all of my emails. How to restore?

Alright, here goes.
I tried to set up af number of rules in my Mail application (just the standard one), that would delete some "subscribtion emails" that I never read anyways. And no, it's not spam.
BUT, I accidentally forgot to set the "any" criteria to "all", which means it all of a sudden deleted all mails with my email address as recipent. How can I restore them? They do NOT appear in my "Deleted messages"!
Also, is it really true that such a simple user mistake, can cause the user to lose highly important emails? I mean... It's like one click away from utter and permanent removal of the emails. If that's the case, I am really disappointed in Apple. I know I made a mistake, but forgetting to set "any" to "all" is something I feel anyone can do on accident, since it's on "any" as default. And it just applies the rule to the whole mailbox! I had no chance to stop it, and now my mails are gone. Important ones from the government, tax-mails, receipts... all just gone.
And no... I do not have a backup of those mails. I am without a time machine harddisk, and I honestly thought that deleted mails would appear in the "deleted mails" folder on iCloud, but they do not. The rules must have deleted those two, even though I have no idea why and how that should be possible.
And yes, the emails are gone from ALL of my devices, and not just the Mac... even iCloud.com does not have any trace that they even existed.
Please help, I know I haven't been smart about it, but permanently deleting such a large amount of emails, without warning or recovery method, simply should not be possible!
Any support is highly appreciated. I am looking at a world of s*** if I can't recover some of these important emails. Thank you in advance!
And here's a smiley, so you know that I am normally a very happy guy, and so you also know that I will be immensely joyful and appreciative of your help

Yeah, I don't think you should be disappointed with Apple. It's definitely not their fault. Only yours. Sorry to be frank, but "Any" and "All" conditionals are very obvious, and I have never made this mistake. I am not sure what you would want Apple to do to prevent this -- make an alert box come up saying "You are choosing Any which means when you do this your rule will apple to Any of the conditions you set". That would just annoy us other users that already understand what All and Any mean.
My point is that you should study the manuals and very good knowledge before you attempt at anything with your mac especially creating Mail Rules that will automatically delete emails.
You don't do backups which is also very strange and you should learn how to do them, as this is very important if anything happens to your computer at a later date, as you've just experienced.

When sending an e-mail I used to just click on contacts then click on the name or group I wanted to send the e-mail to and move it to the "To" area of the e-mail. All of a sudden I now get a full screen in "contacts" and can no longer move a name .

MacBookPro 15
OS - Yosemite
Problem area - "Contacts"
Problem - when sending an e-mail in "Mail" I used to open contacts to get an address. A small window opened, I clicked on addressee and moved the addressee name to the e-mail. Can no longer do this because I now get a full screen in Contact.
Question - how do I get back to the small window in Contact?

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.
