Mail Rules and tracking the filtering

In Mail, you set up "rules" to filter incoming messages, but I can't find any way to see what the rules actually do, ie: how many messages were filtered into what mailbox? (Has anyone used Eudora before?)
Any ideas??

When you setup Rules in Mail, it doesn't tell you how many messages were moved to a particular mailbox or folder. Part of creating the rule is deciding where you want these sorted messages to go, and creating the folder you need for that to happen. Then, if a message is sorted and moved by these rules, the total number of unread messages should be displayed for each mailbox or folder.
Apple has already setup some rules in Mail for you; you should look at those if you haven't already to get an idea of what you can do.
Hope this helps,
Mulder

Deleted mail rules and they are still being applied

I created a few mail rules to change the colour of certain emails from different senders. I then deleted the rules and the emails are still colour coded differently and I can't seem to reset it.
Anyone run into this before on 10.6.2?

Hi,
Try restarting your Mac. If that doesn't help...
Go to the Mail Menu Bar, click Mail/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab.
Quit Mac Mail.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Mail.

So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

You can continue to use them as Apple ID's, change the rescue address (as you know)
You can use your iCloud address, but it won't be an alias, it's a full email address.

Earlier, I wrote:
What is the ppi value in the document? Use the Image - Image Size menu to see or set this value.
I can't believe this conversation has gone on this long. You keep wanting it to be a bug, but it seems to me the basic problem here is that you haven't accepted the fact that YOU are responsible for getting the image metadata in order before you can use tools like the Ruler to read out in physical units, such as inches or centimeters, accurately.
Photoshop can only know the size of things in your document if you or your workflow provide it an accurate ppi value!
What's the original source of the material? A scanner? If so, some part of the scanning or image preparation process has left you with an inaccurate ppi value.
For the documents you're already working with, use Image - Image Size, then UNcheck the Resample Image checkbox and type in the correct ppi value. Then everything will work.

Using iCloud will not affect your dock or your widgets. If you upgrade to iCloud, your MobileMe mail account will be updated to an iCloud account, but that is all that will happen. What exactly is it that you are worried about.

HT5361 how do I keep the classic look ? I go to mail preferences and click the button but when I launch mail again it is still in the list view which I hate. Anyone know ?

The first thing to try if a setting does not "keep" is a PRAM reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Change the setting to what you want, then PRAM reset on restart:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Ability log and track the time and expense reports of the sales employees

Hello Experts
Ability to log and track the time and expense reports of the sales employees.
Can we do this through WEB UI
Please revert.

Hello
Thanks for the reply
I thought of storing time zone in the time and use session variable to pick up user's log in info along with time zone that he is associated with.
However, if it has to be maintained by a table, then it should be manually updated right? I don't think that's what I want to do because a lot of our users travel a lot for short time, so they may not have their time zone info updated in the DB table when they are traveling somewhere else for a brief period while accessing OBIEE.
So my question is, how can I pick up user's locale time zone setting and make sure that the data, such as hour conversation are converted along with the displayed time stamp?
Thanks

Query on Bounce Management and tracking the return Mails

I have a requirement to track the mails ( for Bounced Back mails, Soft bounce, Hard Bounce, and Emails read by the receipient ).
I got a table( SOOD ) to get all the Incoming mails from the mail reciepients but, not able to proceed further on this.

Could you please let me know how to proceed on this?
Thanks in advance.

Mail rules and iCloud

Is there a way of copying mail rules in one mac to keep them alive on my macs after iCloud?
I would appreciate any help,
Thanks!
Mario Lordeiro

I'm using the same Apple ID for both accounts to allow syncing.
I use QUICKEN to track finances. The main reasons I set up two users is to separate fishing club finances from my personal finances and to separate documents. At this point I have decided to combine the two accounts; sort documents; and open separate QUICKEN accounts as needed. I do think that Apple Mail needs attention to correct inconsistencies such as the one I pointed out.
Thank you for your Comments

Mail rules and Iphone

Hi, I use Mail on my Mac with rules set up to automatically sort my messages into folders as they arrive. Problem is that once a message is moved into a folder, it never arrives onto my phone. I can see messages that aren't set up to move from my top level Inbox, but not those moved due to rules. Is there any way i can use the rules and still have the messages on my Iphone? Right now my only solution seems to be to quit mail each time I walk away from my desktop but sometimes I forget.
thanks!

On your iPhone mail with rules will go to your "All Mail" folder while Mail.app is running. When mail.app is closed they will all go to your inbox.
Are you using gmail with IMAP? If you are then you can mirror the rules you have set up on your mac to be identical in the gmail server. I believe this will make your iPhone look like your mac does with the "labels" becoming folders. I have not tested that, so try it and see if it works.

How do you store "sent" mail locally and on the server?

Hello. This is a slightly lengthy...but hopefully someone can help!
I am using the Mail program in Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.3) with an IMAP account. I am wondering how you set up the preferences so that the e-mails that you send (outgoing) are stored locally on my computer and also on the server (so that I can .
So far I have tried checking and unchecking the option to 'store mail on the server' (in the 'Mailbox Behavior' window of the Preference Box). When I uncheck the box, the sent mail is stored ONLY locally on my computer.
When I check the box so that the mail is stored on the server, I cannot view any copies of the sent mail on my computer, nor can I view the sent mail through my other school account (same account b/c it's IMAP).
My IMAP account is setup with my school, so I have a folder called 'Sent' that I have programmed so that copies of my sent mail are stored there (viewable locally on any computer that I log-in to). I formerly user Thunderbird (with Mozilla) and it allowed me to save sent mail into that same folder, but I am unable to do so with Mail in the Tiger program.
I hope this is understandable...anyone able to shed some light on this issue? Thanks!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi tanjo,
This is a bit of a workaround, but you could set
mail.app to automatically blind copy to yourself any
messages you originate (and then use a rule to
automatically file these messages in a "sent" folder
of your choice).
A method to do setup this default bcc is on
MacOSXhints.com, in this article: Permanently add Reply To headers in
Mail.app. It references this command line:
defaults write com.apple.mail
UserHeaders '{"Bcc" = "[email protected]";
best of luck,

A question about Logical Disk Performace collection Rules and how the Data is displayed in a Report view

Hello
I am currently on SCOM 2007 R2 CU6 and Window Server Operating System MP version 6.0.6989.0 (I cannot use the latest version of the MP as we still have some Windows 2000 Servers we need to support, yes I know :( )
Any way the issue is, I have never found the Logical Disk performance counter data very reliable from SCOM.
For example, I have a Windows 2008 R2 Server and when looking at a local Logical Disk (which holds an SQL temp DB on a busy SQL Server) and look at the performance counter
The SCOM collection rule is called "Collection Rule for Average Disk Seconds per Transfer"
The actual Windows Perfmon counter is called "Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer"
if you look at the description of the above Perfmon counter it is described as
"Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer is the average number of bytes transferred to or from the disk during write or read operations."
The problem I have is as follows:
The resulting SCOM performance chart over several days (which has a scale ox 1x) states the value never reach 3 (e.g. maximum wa s 2.7 say). I cannot believe the a drive holding the tempDB databases for a busy SQL Server does not transfer more then 2.7 "bytes"
of data at a given to to its tempDB databases!
Indeed when I look at Permon on the Server and looks at this counter over say 20 minutes or so, the figure is often in the 10,000 or 30,000 bytes etc. It does fall back to 0 (zero) momentarily but mostly it is in the 1000s, or 10,000s etc.
Therefore when my boss says show me the "Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer" and SCOM says it has not exceeded 2.7 over the last business week (i.e. the chart never peak above this value on the chart with scale 1x) he naturally does not believe it!!
Any advice please regarding the above. Is it the fact if the counter ever falls to zero it messes up the SCOM report charts?
Thanks

Create your own collection rule, to mirror the sample times, and what not. Look at the data from your rule vs the mp default rule. It probably has to do with the chart scale imho.
