Mac Mail - Can I make emails in smart mailboxes not show in my inbox?

Hi,
I am running several mail accounts on mac mail. I just set up a bunch of smart mailboxes which are working but the emails in those smart mailboxes are still showing up in my inbox? I thought the purpose if mailboxes (smart or not) was to reduce your inbox volume?
Does Lion or any other 3rd party mail apps do this? Thanks.
OK sorry forum and Apple bandwidth and Storage..ha I didn't look hard enough at the forum...found my answer which is to create regular mailbox and set up a rule.

Smart Mailboxes do not remove mail from where they are stored. They only serve to help you to organize and find spefific criteria quickly. They don't perform actions.
If you want to move messages, you could try creating mail rules to perform actions, such as moving messages. You will have to look to see if rules support the criteria you're looking for. Mail/ Account Preferences/ Rules

Mail showing one unread message when all messages are marked as read

Wondering if anyone else was having any weird issues with their iCloud and unread count in the Mail app on their mac running lion? I can't seem to get rid of a phantom unread message. My iCloud account is fairly new so I don't have that many messages to go through so I know there is not an unread message any where. Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,
Rabah

I have had the same issue with my Microsoft exchange email after upgrading to Lion. It's a bit annoying. My iPad, Android Phone, and viewing it using a browser all show 0 unread, but Mail shows 3 unread. I have tried deleting the account, rebuilding, and pawing through settings looking for something I missed. Nothing. I actually had the same problem with my MobileMe email with Snow Leopard but I eventually permanently removed the account as other problems arose and just used it in my browser.
Sorry I couldn't help but I hope it's resolved.

TS3276 Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures

My Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures. I get the "whoosh" sound and they show in sent mail, but the recipient doesn't receive them until I take off the signature and resend the email. Without a signature, it is received. It never used to be a problem, but started this past month. Please advise!

Did Earthlink have you try using their authenticated SMTP server?
If not, try changing Earthlink's SMTP server settings to the following:
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 25 or 587. Assuming Earthlink is your ISP, 25 should work.
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication Type: MD5 Challenge-Response. Not sure if this authentication type is available with 10.2 and if not, select Password.
User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
Password: The password for your Earthlink email account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

IPad mail shows 12 unread messages but they are all read

iPad mail shows 12 unread mail on the icon. However, all mail has been read. I checked every message available from the server and I deleted and reinstalled the email account. Any help is appreciated

iPad only show last 50,100,200 emails depending upon settings. I had this some time ago when the 17 (for example) emails were "dropped" off the list of emails on the iPad. At the botton of the list of emails there should be a "show more" type option, press this to loand the previous batch of emails to see if the unread emails are in there.
Also watch out for threading emails. It could be you need to open a thread to see the email. Also an option you can disable (I did!)

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

When I open mac mail, it opens 1000 emails in separate windows. Emails that are not even in my account anymore. Can anyone help?

You should post in the Mail forum area of whichever os is installed on your computer.

Mac Mail: Editing a new email kills Mac Mail

Since yesterday, randomly, many times when I open a new email to edit, the window for the new email opens but it dies immediately and kills the whole Mac Mail. Any thoughts?

Hello OC User,
It sounds like you are unable to create a new email message because Mail makes the entire computer shutdown or become unresponsive. I would start by performing a Safe Boot and testing the issue there:
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
If that works then restart and test the issue again. If the issue persists try removing any log in items you have to see if something is interfering with Mail and test the issue again:
OS X Mavericks: If you think you have incompatible login items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14201
If it persists, try re indexing the mail box with this article:
Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

When I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?

when I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?
mac mail also freezes from time to time and closes for no reason

It is not a virus. It's a bug in Mail that fails to reset that count, so it keeps incrementing each time you send a message. When it says it's sending 6 messages, that really just means you're sending the 6th message since you last opened Mail.

IBook. Mac Mail. Can send email.

iBook running OS 10.4.11. Mac Mail. Can send email, but not receive. Slow to send, goes to Outbox first. Can send and receive email via WebMail. Any ideas please.

Is your Mail set up properly? It is possible that you have set up the wrong SMTP & POP3 servers.

During iCloud setup, I was notified that an email was sent to my mail account for activation. I cannot find the e-mail.

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up pictures

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up all of my pictures from my phone.

If you backed up the device, all the data is in the backup. Restore the backup.
A better question is why would an intelligent person not copy the pictures from the device to the computer regularly, especially before attempting an update, as the device is designed to be used?

... We have itunes before and he accidentally delete it..
If Windows cannot find then the path you referenced (C:\document and settings\pistolero\mymusic...) then it is gone.
Download and install iTunes again: http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Once iTunes is installed you can download your purchased music again. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store. Here is the procedure:
Launch iTunes.
Click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
