Smart mailbox for addresses NOT in my address book?

I want a smart mailbox that only contains emails from addresses that aren't in my address book. It doesn't seem possible with the options in the dialog box, unless I'm missing something really obvious.

I just discovered I can do this through the Junk section of Preferences. Click "Advanced" and you can create a filter specifically for 'Sender not in my address book'.

  • Smart folder for address book version 3.12?

    Hi I have a iBook with OS 10.4, I also have a Imac G3 with OS 10.3.9 and i have imported some 600+ addesses from the iBook with notes (vCards) but the ability to sort by smart mailboxes seems not to be there and i don't see any up dates for the older address book available.
    I tried to just take the address book file from the 10.4 machine to the 10.3.9 machine but that didn't work. Is there any way go get either the folders and addresses or set up some smart folders for the older machine?
    Thanks
    Philip

    Ahh, Thanks Duane, guessed that might be the case. I had hoped that I would not have to spend A$2500 to get this little bit of functionality! I am trying to squeeze the most I can out of the $ I have already spent

  • "Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone

    "Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone
    Normal Groups sync but smart groups do not.
    Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
    Thanks.

    This same concept applies to syncing two macs via .Mac
    The method I use for iPhone is this.
    Define your smart group as needed.
    Define a read group with a similar or convenient name.
    From time to time drag your whole smart group to the real group.
    The real group is the one that then syncs to your iPhone.
    As a safety factor, I usually clear all entries from my real group before I drag over the updated smart group.
    Anyway, this is simple and works well.
    Hope that helps.

  • Smart mailbox for mails which are not in another smart mailbox

    Hello!
    I tried to create a smart mailbox for all the mails which doesn't appear in any other smart mailbox.
    I know that I can tell my smart mailbox not to look for mails who are in the inbox or the other default-boxes of the mail program.
    But how can I choose a smart Mailbox instead???

    Thanks, John, but the original idea isn't mine. Someone else realized that some time ago:

  • Smart Groups in Address Book not syncing to Contacts

    I have a couple of Smart Groups in Address Book on my primary Mac, and I sync Address Book with Contacts on my iPhone 4 through MobileMe.
    Today, I noticed that, under Groups in Contacts on the iPhone 4, these Smart Groups do NOT show up. How can I make these Smart Groups on the Mac to sync and show up in Contacts on the iPhone 4?

    I just found an answer myself: https://discussions.apple.com/message/4902780#4902780

  • Smart Groups in Address Book Do Not Update

    I use Smart Groups in Address Book in Lion.  It has worked great before the upgrade to Lion. Now when I create an entry with the proper fields to activate the entry go to a Smart Group.  It doesn't.  I have compared the parameters and compared with other addresses with the same parameters and still no update of the Smart Group.

  • Cannot send email to Smart Group from Address Book

    I created several Smart Groups in Address Book but I can't use any of them to send email. When I right-click the group name and choose Send Email, it opens my default email program (Thunderbird) and puts only the name of the Smart Group into the To: field, not the actual addresses.
    If I try to actually send the message, I get the error that (name of group) "is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the email."
    What am I doing wrong? How can I get it to paste the actual addresses and not just the name of the group? I looked at the Edit Distribution List window and all the addresses are there.
    I'm using OS X 10.5.7, Address Book 4.1.2 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.22.
    Thanks in advance.

    What is the exact message you get when sending fails -- does it say there are one or more invalid addresses, or what?
    Having a name in the list without email address or possibly one separated by comma between last and first might result similarly in an invalid address, and Mail will likely refuse to send to any. But if the message is from the SMTP, that might depend on the provider's policies for that.

  • Syncing Smart Groups from Address Book

    Spent a lot of time creating a smart group in address book, only to find that iphone sync doesn't recognize "Smart Groups", only regular groups. Maybe the engineers can write some script to fix this little bugaboo to have the sync software recognize smart groups from Address Book and place them in the box so that the user can select the smart group and not have to sync the whole address book. Thanks.
    tjrmac

    Yes. Please. It would be great if the syncing of smart groups were to be added. Right now with the large amount of address' I manage for business, it's important that I see the same groups on my iPhone.
    Please add.

  • Mailboxes and address book missing from restored program files

    I re-installed TB 3.1.20, after having to re-install Windows Vista, with all other software and data. I then restored my TB files from a NTI Backup NOW file (when I back up files I include the program files for TB so I don't lose mailboxes and the address book). However when opening TB neither my mailboxes or address book are there. This system has worked in the past, so I trusted it would this time as well.
    Any idea how to find and restore them?

    Your mail and address book is stored in your Thunderbird profile. The profile is separate from the Thunderbird program installation.
    Check this article to locate your profile folder.

    If you do have a backup of your profile folder follow these instructions to restore it.

  • Sync is currently unavailable for address book because of wireless sync

    I am trying to sync by calendar and address book.
    Works for the Calendar but not Address Book.
    I get the following Sycn Warning message. Synchronization unavailable for: Address Book because the application(s) is (are) configured for wireless synchronization. Desktop synchronization for the above application(s) will be disabled. click here for information how to disable wireless sync on your device.
    Followed instructions to the letter numerous times and it doesn't work.
    HELP!

    Are you connected to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server? If so you can delete one service book on your device, and this will allow you to sync your device through the wire.
    To do this go to: Option> Advanced Options> Service Book. In here look for the Desktop  [SYNC] service book. Press the menu key and choose delete.
    Now you should be able to sync your device with Outlook. Once the sync is done go back to: Option> Advanced Options> Service Book. Press the menu key and choose undelete.
    Hope this helps.

  • Tags or keywords for Address Book?

    I'm surprised to find that Address Book doesn't seem to offer any sort of tags, keywords, or categories for contacts. I've searched the web and can't seem to find any information about this, or a plugin that do for Address Book what MailTags does for Apple Mail. Does anyone know of something to help???

    I mostly use groups for both those purposes. I also use the company field as a sort of tag, since very few of my contacts are companies rather than individual. So I have contacts with builder or plumber or electrician in the company field - but this won't work for you if you need that field for company names. The other field you can use is the notes field; you could put several tags in, and you wouldn't need any special separator as search will find them.
    The advantage of groups, for me, is that you only have to type the tag or category once and you can so quickly isolate all those in the group. A contact can of course be in multiple groups; indeed a group can be in a group.

  • Groupwise Field Definitions for Address Book entry

    Hi,
    I am looking for Groupwise Field definitions i.e. Field Names associated with Address Book entry (Contact and Organization). I am using OAPI to access the Contact's field values and set the Contact's field values by Field Name. Is there any place which has the list of all the field Names associated with Contact and Organization Address Book entry.
    Note: Field Definitions for Address Book entries that are in PAB.
    I also look for the comparision of Field Names in Groupwise 7.0 and Groupwise 8.0.
    Thanks,
    Pranav

    Why don't you iterate through all the field definitions of a given abook?
    This will give you the list of all possible fields for an entry.

  • HT2486 How do I export a mailbox to address book from Mail

    How do I export a mailbox to address book from mail?

    Unless you are willing to continually do an export of one contacts database and import of the other, switching back and forth, you'll either need to use some third-party contacts application or maintain two separate user accounts in Mac OS X. The built-in Address Book/Contacts application does not allow multiple address books.
    Regards.

    Old Entourage is POP and new Mavericks MAIL  is IMAP I believe. I don;t know how to export in the forms you mention. Frances
