Quote only most recent reply in an email?

Is there a way to set Apple Mail so that it will include only the most recent reply in a thread of an email? Without having to go in and manually delete everything that I don't want to appear every time I (and the recipient) don't need in every email? I've tried messing with the preferences, but can't seem to find a combination that will result in this.

Thank you! It isn't a big deal if I set it to not include any replies, but it is nice if (as frequently happens) I am conducting a "chat" by email, and frequently reply to the same email more than once. The person on the other end would know which reply I am referring to, without having to put up with all of the preceding type.

  • Why Only Most Recent Backup?

    My employer, in error, issued a remote wipe command to my iPhone 3GS, which wiped out not only my employer's account, but also my personal accounts. I tried to regain my personal account data by restoring my iPhone from backup as in the instructions on Apple's support Web pages, however, when I get to the restore from backup part, I don't have a list of backups, I can only restore from the most recent one, which was made when I hooked up the iPhone to my Mac Pro to do this procedure, so it was made with no accounts installed. Anyone have any idea why a list of backups does not show up in the drop-down, the way it is portrayed on the support page? I sync every few days, and according to the status bar in iTunes, the iPhone is backed up every time. Thanks for any help.
    Steve

    Only one backup is kept by itunes(this backup is overwritten each time you sync), except for restore backups, which are not overwritten & are kept by time & date stamp. The reason you don't see any other backups listed is because you most likely have never restored your phone. If you performed a sync before you restored from backup, your backup was overwritten & that's why your info was not replaced.
    If you backup your computer, you can extract your backup from that computer backup, replace the one on your computer with this & restore from that backup. DO NOT SYNC before restoring from this backup. You will be given the option to create a backup before you restore, decline.

  • Get only most recent emails in Mail app?

    First time posting, please go easy on me
    Hi there!
    On my Mac, I was trying to set up the Mail app to use one of my older emails. When I did it, it started downloading every single email I have ever sent using that email. I've had this email since about 2009, so there's a fair amount of undeleted messages.
    What I'd like to do, is to be able to set it up so that I only see a few recent messages, like on my iPhone, where after a while, it just stops showing them to you and only ever actually keeps a handful on the device itself.
    (That is to say, my iPhone only ever keeps about 12 emails, and periodically just kind of wipes them from the device. New ones just kind of fill in when they arrive. But the point is that the emails go away after a while.)
    Is this actually possible? Or am I totally insane for even thinking this could be a possibility?
    Cheers,

    Hello Paul.
    Be carefull when using multiple mail clients on a single POP account, that's not the way POP was designed.
    Consider using IMAP instead, or be carefull with the settings of each of your email client, especially concerning the deletion policy.
    Most email client can be configured to delete message from the server immediatly, after a period of time, or never.
    What could happen is Outlook does retrieve mail fine, then deletes them.
    When Mail comes to get the mail, it only gets the one arrived after the last Outlook retrieve, but Mail by default keeps message on the server for something like 7 days, that's why Outlook can then retrieve all messages the next time it checks your POP account, but because it deletes them all, Mail is missing some of them.

  • Importing only most recent photos

    I do not always want to erase photos from my camera after importing them onto the computer, but when I want to import the next batch, iPhoto wants to import the entire collection I have kept on the camera. Is there some way I can import only those photos that are not already on the computer?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Yes. If your camera mounts on the Desktop as an external device, then all you have to do is choose File > Import to Library from the menu bar. Then you'll be able to navigate to your camera, preview the files there, and choose only what you wish to import.
    If your camera doesn't mount on the Desktop, like most Canon models, then you can use a card reader for importing. The reader mounts the card on the Desktop just like an external hard drive.
    The other option is to use Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the files from your camera. It has a Download Some option that will allow you to preview the files and select only the ones you want. Save them to a Desktop folder, not a location inside your iPhoto Library folder. Then import into iPhoto, and delete the original folder.
    Regards.

  • "Recent Activity" - not always showing most recent replies

    I replied to this thread in the Essbase space: hammerora equivalent
    The 'Recent Activity' list for the space - Essbase - still shows the original question ('RobertAngel asked...') as the preview rather than my reply, although it does show '1 Reply'.
    Is there a reason that some threads show the most recent reply in the 'Recent Activity' listing and others do not?  Difficult to see quickly what's been going on in the Space.  Never noticed the behavior before, personally.
    Thanks!

    Any pattern? Are they the most recently created or modified? Anything in common about how they are named, or in the +dot plus three+ extensions? Are you still seeing the older version of files on the Mac compared to directly in Windows.
    I've not used Windows 7 so I'm not familiar with any sharing filters that are possible. If you are still seeing older versions of files, and the ones you don't see on the Mac happen to be the most recently added to the folder, it still feels to me like you are actually connecting to a different sharepoint than what you believe... maybe one that is in an backup archive or something.
    Sorry I can't be any more helpful. It's a bit mysterious.

  • Why am I only able to see the 12 most recent emails in my inbox and no more?

    I can only see the last 12 most recent emails in my inbox and no more?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

    Does your server have a limit?

  • On a IPad is there a restriction to the number of emails it access? Say there's 100 messages in my inbox but when I look at my inbox on my Ipad it will only show 50 of the most recent emails. Is there a way to see all 100?

    Say there's 300 messages in my inbox but when I look at my inbox on my Ipad it will only show 200 of the most recent emails. Is there a way to see all 300?

    Not sure whether you are saying that you have more than 200 emails in your Inbox, or that 200 are in the Inbox and the others are in other folders. If the first then (I don't have more than 200 emails in my Inbox) but if you do and want to load more then do you not get a Load More Messages option if you scroll down to the bottom of your Inbox ?
    If you want to be able to search multiple email folders then I don't think that you can do it within the Mail app itself, but the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) can - you can control what is searched by spotlight via Settings > General > Spotlight Search

  • Show only a few of the most recent Gmail emails in Mail (use for sending)

    Hello,
    I recently set up Apple Mail, and even though I like the program a lot - I prefer to use Gmail to read and manage my emails. However, Mail is built in to many other Leopard applications, so I would prefer to use it with those (for sending purposes), such as in Preview. Therefore, I would like to know how to do the following:
    - Make it not alter anything in my Gmail inbox
    - Make it receive only a few of the most recent emails - or none
    Would I have to use it through POP or IMAP for these things?
    Thanks!

    if you set up as pop, then you can choose the option to download from the day you created the account forward, thereby limiting the amount of emails that will be downloaded to mail. you would first have to enable pop in gmail>settings. with pop if you make a change in mail, in say your inbox, then that change will not be reflected in gmail on the web.
    if you set up as imap, then what you see in gmail will be the same as what you see in mail as far as your emaisl/mailboxes... and chnages you make on one will be shown on the other.
    hope this helps

  • How do I get Hotmail to display only the 50 most recent emails

    My wife has an iphone and hotmail email. I upgraded to the premium hotmail and now have POP3 and it all works great. the issue I have is that she has 500 emails in her hotmail account and the iphone displays the first 50 not the most recent 50. How do I get this to happen? An help would be appreciated.
    Mike sellers

    I think I figured it out. I downloaded all the email in my wife's hotmail account(500) to the iphone and then deleted 350 of the emails on the iphone. then I set the iphone to look for the 200 most recent messages. When I did this the iphone updates all the new emails and the old ones that I deleted on the iphone are still in hotmail.

  • How do I change mail so only the most recent mail from a person opens?

    When I open mail and go to a new mail all of the files/documents that, that person has ever sent me from previous days open as well. The other emails that I do not want also show up on the right side of my mail in the preview the document part. How do I change it so that I only see the email I am clicking on not a scrolling document of all of the mail items the sender has sent me. Also how do I change it so I only see the most recent item (the one I am clicking on) in the preview email on the right side? Thanks

    In the View menu, uncheck (Expand All Conversations).

    Hi,
    I did a test in my environment as the capture below. It works properly.
    I suggest you try the code in another list and test whether it works.
    Feel free to reply with the test result.
