Mails in the Finder

Hello,
Everytime I search something in the Finder, it aditionally shows up lots of Mails that have the same Title.
It costs a lot of time to find the thing I am searching for.
I wondered if its possible to "devide" Mails from Finder. I don't want to see the Mails in my Finder, if I need a special Mail I can easaly find that in the Mail Application.
I hope someone can help me
thanks a lot and merry christmas
thomas

If you are talking about searching using Spotlight (in the upper right corner of the screen), you can control things like this via System Preferences, Spotlight, Search Results. You can pick and choose what kinds of results are displayed and in what order.

Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

The only way to increase the size of the onscreen text in the Finder Menu Bar and in the Side bar in Finder Windows is to change the screen resolution in the OS X Preferences Pane under the Displays icon.
What Mac and screen size are you using?

HT5621 What do you do when you've lost access to your e-mail and your apple ID and have no way to reset them? (with the find my iPhone feature enabled)

Hi
I've lost access to my e-mail and my apple ID. No way to reset them. It's a hotmail email address and Microsoft is refusing to reset it even after I provided all the necessary proof of ownership.
2 problems:
I can't switch to a new apple id and loose all my purchased apps
I can't switch to a new apple id as I'm being asked for the password of my current apple id - to disable the 'find my iPhone'-feature
How do I proceed as my device is virtually unusable as is ..
Many thanks

This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.
We also can't speculate on what exactly iOS 7's new security features will actually do, all that's available is what has been said so far by Apple, anyone using a developer version is forbidden to discuss it anywhere but in the developers community.

Multiple drag emails from Mail to a finder window and for it to name the files as the subject heading

Hi
I have been using Mac's now for about 10 years and this is my first problem.
I have recently moved into an office that use PC's with a Windows server.
I have set up the network to transfer files and view the windows server and it works fine.
I have a problem in that my colleagues on PC need to be able to view my emails which I send and receive using Mail. They therefore need to have logical title names and the date sent and ideally who to or from. I view them and archive them using Mail which is fine for me.
I understand about the archiving and copying of mailboxes but this gives every email the un-fathomable title name 9944847 etc.
I can get round the problem by dragging and dropping every email I send and receive individually and it will automatically give it a more logical title of the subject heading however the date is when it was dragged not when sent. This is a pain if I am away or forget to save an email for a day or two and then the date is inconsistent.
Is there a way to batch copy emails from Mail to a finder window and for it to name the files as the subject heading or to archive the files in a similar way so they retain the detailed information my colleagues require.
And no I can not get to all change to Mac and I don't really fancy using Outlook, Entourage or Parallels.
Please help.
Toby

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. If you get a warning that the file is in use when you try to empty the Trash, log out and log back in.

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

I am trying to buy Ai and my trial is up. It is asking for a serial number and I cannot find an e-mail with the number. What shall I do?

When I send an email from Mac Mail, why does Mail go to the background and the Finder comes to the front? I want it to stay in Mail.

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

What is going on with mobile me? All I get is the find iphone screen and I can't switch apps to read mail.

What is going on with mobile me? All I get is the find iphone screen and I can't switch apps to read mail.

MobileMe is working partially, Apple says some users can't access to the web-apps (Mail, Calendar, etc.). In my case is working fine in my iPhone, in Outlook 2010, and I can only access the Mail app (Calendar and other functions are not working!).
Hope this gets fixed soon

I click on my mobile me mail and the site "find my iphone comes up"; This happens even when I type in mobile me in the browser window! Only on firefox - not safari. What the heck? This just started today - and won't reverse!

I have mobile me mail service. Use mac 10.6.7. Have latest firefox. Suddenly only can get "find my phone" - not mac mail - even when I type in the mac.me or mobile me mail in the browser window. Safari seems to work fine.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Can't find new e-mails in the library

Hi everybody
My wife has a MacBook running on 10.5.6. After a computer crash (even Time Machine couldn't save the data), everything had to be reinstalled. Only problem is, since then, e-mails sent or received do show up in Mail, but NOT in the library files. What gives? I need these .emlx files, so I can do some tests on them.
Thanks in advance!
Claude C

Hmmm that's a bit of a worry if Spotlight can't pick up any files with .emlx extension.
What puzzles me is that you say that Mail shows the email messages in the viewer but you can't find them on the disk. If they are showing up in the Mail viewer then they've got to be on the HD.
Open finder and then in the Search box type emlx.
Click on the icon that looks like a gear.
Select the option "Show Search Criteria".
Click "kind" and select "File Extension". I that is not listed as an option then click "other".
Scroll down the list presented and choose File extension and then click OK.
You should now see the heading "File extension" and a box you can enter text.
Type emlx in that box then click on the Spotlight field where you typed in emlx in the first step and backspace to erase those characters.
The lower window should now reveal your messages.
Click on one of them and then Ctrl+Click (right click) and select "Open in Enclosing Folder".
The path should be shown at the bottom of the Finder window but to see that more clearly change the view to Column and then you can scroll to the left to see the folder structure.

TS4006 I lost my iPad. I located it using the Find My iPad feature. I got an e-mail from Apply stating it had been found. What does this mean? Does this mean someone used it, tried to use it or what?

I lost my iPad. I located it using the Find My iPad feature. I got an e-mail from Apply stating it had been found. What does this mean? Does this mean someone used it, tried to use it or what?

When you say an email from Apply, do you mean that the sender is named "Apply"? If so, what is their full email address (e.g. [email protected])?

Is it advisable to MOVE contents of "Users/~/Library/Mail/V2" in the Finder instead of from within Apple Mail "ON MY MAC" left pane?

Is it advisable to MOVE some folders/mailboxes within "Users/~/Library/Mail/V2" by drag and drop in the Finder instead of moving them from within the Apple Mail "ON MY MAC" left pane?
Any drawback or problem or danger about it? In case of doing it, should I do it with Apple Mail open or closed?
For more details about why I want to do it, please see:

Thanks.

Someone knows? Thanks.

The finder is opening multiple times 30 as well as creating 40 to 50 files at random while reading mail.

The finder will open multiple times 30 plus as well as create 40+ blank file folders on the desktop at random. Please help!

Use Lion Recovery to reinstall the Mac OS X.

Dark Mode for the finder/safari/mail/etc

I just upgraded to Yosemite and I am very pleased to see the addition of dark mode for the menu and dock. This such a basic feature that I've needed since I started using macs ten years ago.
I often use my macbook and ios devices in low light environments for work. Venues, theaters, bars, etc. Even on the lowest brightness the screen is distracting to others and compromises my night vision, not to mention causes additional eye strain. More and more these days, IOS and OS X devices are used by artists on stage and by sound and lighting engineers off stage. It's a major bummer when you open your finder and and a blinding white light hits you.
For dark mode to be useful it needs to address more than just the dock and menu bar. Ideally, it would invert colors entirely EXCEPT for images, videos, flash, etc. I would settle for this only being available in the finder and safari. I'm aware that I can invert all colors already, but its annoying that I have to view pictures and everything else in negative as well.
It's a bit frustrating that this was an option in the last version of windows I used ten years ago but has been impossible in OS X. I have every confidence that Apple can make this possible, and I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,

Closest thing is Flavours, but that's not available for Yosemite yet..

HT4847 What window? The site tells me to find the little gear at the top of the window to delet old mail. The site does not say what window. It sure is not the one I was in. Does anyone have suggestions so that I can free up Icloud storage?

Can anyone help someone not tech savvy, but not an idiot follow Apple rules? How do I free up space on the cloud? I want to erase old e-mails, and the site says to go to the gear at the top of the window. The trouble is, I do not know what window. Help?

I believe you are talking about deleting unneeded emails on icloud.com. You do this by going to icloud.com on your computer, signing in with your iCloud ID and password, clicking on Mail, clicking your inbox or folders on the left side, then selecting email to the right that you no longer need, then clicking on the trach can icon at the top. After deleting all the email you no longer want to keep, you need to empty the trash to permanently remove it from your iCloud account. To do this, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and select Empty Trash (see image below).
