Suggested Workflow for Mail?

A few months ago I switched over from using Opera's mail client to Apple Mail.  I've been happy so far, but one thing bothers me: I have a buildup of messages in my inboxes.
With Opera, new messages would be shown in an "unread" inbox.  The program would distinguish whether you'd viewed a message or not, but messages would remain in the "Unread" box until they were manually marked as read or moved.  Messages marked as read would be removed from the "Unread" box but would exist in the inbox for that account, making it quick and easy to have messages archived and easily retreivable.
Apple Mail lacks an "unread" box.  While on OSX 10.6, I had created a folder called "Read and Stored" and manually moved messages to that folder to clear them from the main mail view.  It seems that the "discussions" feature of Mail in OSX 10.7 requires that all messages be in the same folder/view, however.  I've taken to using the colored flags for further mail sorting, but things feel a lot more cluttered than when I was using Opera.  Does Apple intend for people to just junk up their inbox and never clear out old messages?  How do you handle sorting your mail?  Suggestions and advice please!

You can create your own "unread" inbox by creating a new "smart mailbox" that includes all inboxes where the message has not been read.  This is just a smart search of your inboxes so the mail stays in the inbox but is listed in your new "smart mailbox" until read.
Mail > Mailbox > new smart mailbox > define criteria.
I have several of these for different purposes including mail from Apple support communities.  Makes it easy to review and delete as a group.

    Hi,
    If you follow the steps and click on 'Assign Agents' it list the workflow template that is triggered e.g. WS03100020. If you open the builder (transaction SWDD) and view workflow WS03100020 you can see that there is no triggering event specified so you cannot activate the event linkage.
    Also the object used in this workflow is BUS1001and not BUS3020. If you want to trigger this workflow then you should check what event should triggered it and add it to the workflow via SWDD => Basic Data => Triggering events.
    What transaction should trigger this workflow? Switch on your event trace and recreate thje scenario. See what events are raised and see if one can be used to trigger the workflow. If no events exist then try to find user Exit or BAdi and trigger your event using function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT or use SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW to trigger event directly without events.

  • TechCommSuite suggested workflow for New Documentation

    Hi there,
    We plan to buy TechComSuite2 to help with our new product documentation. Previously I have used Robohelp to create .chm files and the like, however now we want to produce several outputs:
    Quick start guide
    Detailed user manual
    Configruation (internal use) documentation
    and video help/training materials
    TC2 has FM, Robohelp and adobe air etc.
    What would teh suggested workflow be to produce and maintain documentation?
    Am I right that it should be authored in FM with proper 'tags' set up so that sections are included/excluded from certain outputs.
    RobotHelp manages the database of images/screengrabs and videos etc, and then batch processest he generation of output formats?
    or, should it be written in robohelp and outputted from there?
    im not sure really where best to start, and the videos and tutorials I have seen seem to be a little bit too focused on how to do things rather than how the workflow should be structured.
    Any suggestions or advise?
    cheers
    peter brown

    thank you. that is helpful.
    The images that are in FM - does FM maintain a 'database' of images, so that if an image is used in multiple places in the document and needs to be updated - am I right to say that it is updated in one place only and the change ripples through?
    Also, supposing our Quick start guide is a subset of the larger usermanual - are these "tags" (not sure if thats the right terminology) configured in FM so that RH then extracts the correct tags into the corretc output document?
    thanks again for help and advice,
    very useful to a noob.

  • Automator Workflow for Mail Printing?????

    How can I print out all all mail (250 emails) in a single mailbox into a single file, which I can save as a PDF?
    I looked even for an Automator workflow that would
    Print; Preview: Save As
    so that I would then have a serires of PDFs that I could then import all the individual PDF pages in to Acrobat to create a single document, but Automator does not have these options.
    Any thougt would be very helpful. Thanks!!
      Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    I don't believe you can do it the first way.
    However there are at least three ways to do it the second way.
    1) Use System Events GUI scripting exclusively to drive the user interface i.e., selecting menu items and pushing buttons;
    2) Use some of 1) along with Mail's AppleScripting capabilities. GUI scripting would still be needed for Preview as it does not have AppleScript capabilities;
    3) Install the cups-pdf solution called "Virtual Printer" (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20219) that allows one to create pdf files from anything that can be printed using the print dialog. This would also have to be driven using one or both of GUI scripting and Applescript.
    If you do a lot of PDF printing then I would recommend 3) and generally 1) is less robust than 2). Myself or others on this forum should be able to help with whichever solution you prefer.

  • Suggested Workflow for PC/Mac file transfers?

    Hello. I work for a large corporation doing video editing. Currently all my hardware is Windows-based. I have a editing station and a laptop, both running Windows. In the future it's possible that I may switch both my workstation and laptop to Mac .
    In the meantime, I occasionally acquire files from other users within the corporation. Some users are on a Mac.
    Currently, I have a USB external hard drive that I work directly from. This is formatted to FAT32 so that both Macs and PCs can easily access it. Unfortunately, the 2 GB size limitation keeps causing all sorts of problems with my video editing, so I'm looking for a new solution.
    Open to all suggestions, here's what I had in mind:
    I have a lot of budget flexibility, so cost isn't much of an issue. I would buy an external hard drive, format it for HFS+ (or whatever the Mac format is), then I'd simply use that as a shuttle drive. To put the files back onto my windows system, I'd use some software to do the file transfer. Anybody know of such software?

    Bumping an old topic.
    I just realized that incase I get a Mac, it'd be nice to get a software that comes with installation discs for both systems, so I could transfer NTFS -> Mac computer, and HFS+ -> PC computer.
    Any ideas? Zero possibility of such software?

  • No AVCHD lite import - really? Suggested Workflow?

    Being thrilled as I was to upgrade to Aperture 3, I now find myself stuck and disappointed with one of the main features I was excited about - video import along with photos. I shoot with a Panasonic GF1 that shoots both RAW images and AVCHD lite video. This is an amazing camera for having the best of both worlds - great photos and beautiful video. But Aperture 3 doesn't recognize the video!!! Huh? There are many consumer and pro cameras that are AVCHD video enabled and it seems strange and disappointing that Apple would not support this widely used format. So now, in addition to not having A3 support the RAW format on the GF1 (which will hopefully change soon), the video is not supported either.
    Does anyone have a suggested workflow for easily getting this video into a Aperture 3 project?
    -dm

    I found a possible solution that does not (exactly) require transcoding and allows the video to be loaded into Aperture (and edited directly in iMovie):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411037
    The product is called ClipWrap 2 and it worked with a test file of AVCHD lite video from the Panasonic GF1. I downloaded the trial version of the software and it seemed to work perfectly with the sample .mts file. It unwraps the mts file (a H.264 variant) and rewraps into a QT format (H.264 format with .mov extension) without transcoding (it also has options for transcoding). It is VERY fast and there is no generational loss. It can be found here:
    http://www.clipwrap.com/
    I haven't purchased it yet, but plan to when my GF1 arrives next week (after I perform additional tests). I don't see many downsides to using this (other that spending $50!). It seems to preserve the original video quality and it imports into Aperture. The main downside I see is that Aperture regards the re-wrapping date as the creation date, so metadata is not preserved. On the other hand, you keep the small file size and video quality of the original file. You can always transcode these files if you want something to edit in FCP, although iMovie seems to handle these files without problems.

  • Workflow for sending reminder mail to approve pending PO in me28

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement wherein I have to design a workflow to send a mail to the approver if he has not approved the PO in me28.
    I don need a workflow for PO approval . Only in the case he forgets to approve a PO for one day he needs to get a mail .
    Kindly guide me . Quick help is appreciated

    Hello,
    Design a workflow template which is triggered when the PO is created. Make the template wait for the event 'RELEASED' which is to be triggered once the PO is released. If the event is received, complete the workflow or else, design the deadline monitoring to send a mail to the concerned person if PO is not released.
    You need to take care of the event creation after the PO is released and deadline monitoring of the step in the workflow template.
    If this is not possible, you can create a program which collects all the POs which are not released within a day of creation and send a mail to the concerned people from the program itself. You have to schedule this program daily at a particular time to send the mail. You do not need a workflow for this.
    Hope this will help.
    Thanks,
    Samson

  • Can you suggest a workflow for me?

    While I love the file organization and keywording functions of Lightroom, I want to use only Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop for processing.  I'm struggling with how to develop a workflow that would include Lightroom, but only for organization purposes.
    It seems that every Lightroom workflow tutorial, article or video always insists on making use of the "Develop" module, which I do not want to use.  Can you suggest a workflow for me?  For instance, which first thing would be best....import my Raw files to a file on my hard drive or import my Raw files into Lightroom.  I would prefer working out of Lightroom for post-processing, as I mentioned, but I want to be able to update my Lightroom catalogue with my changes.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
    Dave

    What is your workflow, now, with Bridge/ACR/Photoshop?  What value-added does Lightroom bring to the Bridge/PS/ACR workflow you currently have, and what do you feel LR doesn’t do well that causes you to want to use Bridge/ACR, instead?
    The XMP file will save the Develop settings between LR and ACR.  ACR will read settings from the XMP files (as long as you have the preference set not to store the settings in a central camera-raw database) whenever you are in Bridge or ACR and ACR will write to the XMP files whenever you click Done to exit, or choose Update XMP or whatever the menu items says.
    LR can be told to Synchronize metadata settings, or you can explicitly read and write to the XMP files.  LR also reads from the XMP files when you import, and writes to them in the background if you have Automatically write XMP files (or whetaver the phrase is) enabled in Preferences.
    If you want to live I both worlds then you need to think about what you’re doing with what XMP files, when, so you don’t overwrite something you work on in the other program.  As others have suggested, this is harder than if you just used LR or Bridge/ACR for everything.

  • SAP workflow sent mail to outlook for approval

    Dear Expert,
    I have created a custom workflow for sales order, when ever the sales order has been deleted i need to set a mail to manager for approval in outlook mail box. Is it possible to sent to outlook mail box with work item for approval.If they click on approval button the workflow needs to delete the sales order else it shoul retain as it is.

    Thanks Shashank.
    You have mentioned that we can read user profiles and send e-mails with help of agent assignment. But, you have also mentioned that this is the case where HR is not implemented. So did you mean that where there is no Org Structure?
    In my case, we have HR implemented and we have an Org Structure. In the PO/PR release strategy we use Org Structure and Position to decide whom to send E-mail.
    Now what is it that I need to do differently to make sure that the E-mail is sent to Outlook directly not via SAP Inbox.
