Strikethrough shortcut for Apple Mail?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for strikethrough in Apple Mail?
Having to open fonts (CMD + T) and then pull down the strikethrough menu > Single is extremely long winded when you are trying to edit a document.
Does anyone have a simple command like CMD + B is for BOLD.
Thanks,
Steven

I FOUND TWO SOLUTIONS!
TextSoap - new version #7 also allows you to striketrough text system wide.
Keyboard Maestro macro maker which a lot of people are using in replace Quickeys works too.
There is an example macro in the Macro Library, in the Text section, called Red Strikethrough that copies the text, applies red foreground, and strikethrough attribute to the clipboard, and then pastes the text.
Insert that macro from the macro library and remove the red foreground, or create it yourself:
Type the ⌘C Keystroke
Apply Style to Clipboard: Set strikethrough to solid single.
Type the ⌘V Keystroke
Hope that helps.

  • How do you schedule an email to be sent at a later time?  Also, canned messaging shortcuts in Apple Mail?

    I have heard rumors that this is doable using Automator and iCal.  I have also heard rumors that Apple Scripts are the way to go and I have found a few online (likely from 17 year olds in their basements) -- I must admit, I'm a little leary about copying and pasting a script into my computer.  I'd much rather have detailed instructions on how to set it up myself.
    I would be most grateful for some help with this!
    Thank you!!
    P.S. Also, if anyone knows if there is a way to use shortcuts in Apple Mail to trigger canned messaging I'd appreciate it.  You can do this with the iPhone (ex: you can set it up so that when you type CB in the text field, it says "I'll have to call you back" or whatever you want it to say).

    Scheduling an email is a deeply important productivity feature that I really hope Apple can incorporate into the next update of Mail.

  • Creation of a new Keychain Entry (Internet password) for Apple Mail

    I am working on a Mail Assistant to set up a new Mail Account for Apple Mail.
    My problem concerns the creation of the Keychain Entry for the POP Account with which Apple Mail is set up (by my custom Mail Assistant).
    I am able to create a Keychain Entry with all relevant User Data, the Keychain Entry also appears to be valid (I ran the Keychain First Aid Tool to check it), but when I start the Apple Mail App, it does not recognise the created Keychain entry, but is asking me to enter the Password for the POP Account which I set up successfully.
    Any help is appreciated for giving me a hint of how Apple Mail recognises or links respectively to its adherent Keychain Entry.
    Thanks in advance
    Thomas

    Couple of things to try Theo...
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • 2-Step Verification for Apple Mail on OS 10.7.5

    Can someone verify if having 2-Step Apple ID verification work for Apple Mail? I use iCloud email but on my MacBook (OSX 10.7.5) Mail program, I can't access it. I tested my iCloud Account via Settings and it can't log in. I discovered that by turning off the 2-step verification it works normally on my MacBook.
    I'm interested in switching back to 2-Step Verification but I'm worried it won't work again. I'd like to know if this is working now for OSX 10.7.5? I can't upgrade to a new OSX on my MacBook since it's an older model.

    Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    imap.gmail.com
    Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
    Important Note
    Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

  • I know this is the wrong forum but there isn't one for Apple Mail!

    Hello all,
    Forgive the slight mis-placement but.. I'm looking to move my Mail from my desktop Mac Pro to my Macbook Pro! Can anybody advise the best method that will maintain the current email archive and listings, thus being no change whatsoever once moved to the Macbook?

    Not sure what you are talking about? If the post, which I did not see, was posted in this forum (Mail and Address Book) then it was the correct forum. Your saying there was no forum for Apple Mail would probably have not helped get a reply.
    The correct and simplest method to move is to transplant both the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences and the Mail folder from Home/Library from the one Mac to the other.

  • HT5361 Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?

    Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?
    A great many of the traditional OSX installtion history items are no longer available in 10.8  One can no longer consult the installation history of the "Software Update" preference pane, because that functionality has moved to the Mac App Store utility.  The Systems Information Utility does indeed show *some* installation history, but it does NOT include the Mail.app, for some reason.  Fianlly, I can't find a web posting where apple at least provides the list of all recent software updates for mail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    UPDATE:
    I have partially answered my own question. I found that if go to the History window for the selected file, then double-click the "version" (indicated by the label, which is actually displayed in the "comment" field), it opens the file in html. But, there is a "save as" button in this preview window. If I save the file to a temporary location and optionally, give it a different file name (e.g., to indicate the rev #), I can then go to Windows Explorer, double-click the file, which then launches in a browser window and displays the formatted web file. So this will definately suit my purposes from a audit perspective.
    However, I still would like to understand how the tags, branches, and pinning works because that might be a better way?

  • Shortcuts for filing mail messages into mailboxes

    I just switched from ThinkPad to MacBook Air, and from Thunderbird to Apple Mail. I have a big hierarchy of mailboxes (several thousand of them). It is time-consuming to drag a mail message through the hierarchy into the appropriate mailbox. In Thunderbird, I had a plug-in that allowed me to quickly file mail messages into appropriate mailboxes by simply typing a few letters of the mailbox name. Is there anything similar for Apple Mail (or any other tricks for filing mail messages more quickly)?
    Thanks for your help.
    M....

    Thanks for your response.
    Actually, the plug-in for Thunderbird works quite well, even with thousands of mailboxes. You type in a few letters from the mailbox name (not necessarily the first letters) and it shows a list of all mailboxes whose names include those letters.
    If someone could create a plug-in like this for Apple Mail, I think it could be very useful.

  • Is there a way to create a rule for Apple Mail that when a certain person is a recipient, make the email plain text?

    My boss has a blackberry and when I send pdf attachments and copy him, he cannot see the attachments.  I forget to make the email plain text before sending it to him.  I can use Thunderbird as my client and it works fine but it is not linked to the other apps on my mac like Apple Mail.  Can I make a rule or something for Mail so that when his email address is a recipient of the email, it will send as plain text to him?

    I don't think so. Not without setting up an AppleScript and I am not proficient with those.
    You can, however, set the follolwing in Mail > Preferences > Composing
    Responding: Use the same message format as the original message.
    But that would only be for responding to messages sent from his Blackberry.

  • How to make a custom template the default for Apple Mail (10.7.5)?

    Hi,
    I'm OK with making a new custom template in Apple Mail.  It shows up fine once under "custom" in the stationary pane (and once I take off signature in a new email).  But... that's a lot of trouble to go through everytime I want to send an email.
    So the question is: can I make my custom template my default for all my emails, unless I want to manually change it?  Seems like this should be possible but I can't figure it out and haven't run into any solutions (only on how to make a template).
    Do I really have to select it each time?
    Best,
    Joel

    As an FYI: I just solved the problem by going the "low road." I'll be a bit laborious in case someone else wants a solution at a later date (I know I Googled the topic and found nothing). I experimented by simply:
    Opening a new email message
    Selecting my custom template
    Copying the custom signature (Select All)
    Opening another new email message
    Selecting Edit on the Signature pulldown menu
    Hitting the plus symbol to create/add a new signature in the pane
    Pasting into the new signature
    Naming it
    Selecting "Choose signature" at the bottom of the signatures pane
    And violà!!
    It now appears as a possible selection *and* as the default.
    Better yet - it is now my default and will work as a reply to an email.
    I think I got it all right in the list above.
    OK, granted, this is a pretty simply signature - a list of my website, SoundCloud, twitter etc with those names in bold and a graphic of my color logo - but... it works! YMMV.
    Give it to Apple to make it so simple that any fool could do it (that would be me), you wouldn't need a "specialized" app, and - of course - there wouldn't even be instructions on how to do it!
    Best,
    Joel

  • How do I import my mbox file for Apple Mail?

    I just did a clean install of my mac os on an iMac. Prior to the install, I exported my mail account to an external drive. I got an INBOX.mbox file/folder that's 4.32GBs. When I click the file, there is an "mbox" file and a "table_of_contents" file.
    In Apple mail, I chose import mailboxes - Mail for Mac OS X - and clicked the file. It brings an INBOX folder into the ON MY MAC folder... but no mail. I have tried this a 1/2-dozen ways and cannot get my mail to reload. I assume it's there since the file is 4.32GB.
    Anyone have thoughts on this? This is business mail that I need for sure. I feel confident that the files are there since the file is so big. What gives?

    It's a mac drive, however, I got past that issue by copying the file to my desktop. The issue now is that it won't load all of the way. It crashes mail half way through. I get mail back to 2011 when it should go back to 2008.
    Thoughts?
