TS3276 What do the little icons in mail mean?

What do the little icons in mail mean, is there a list of them somewhere?

If you mean the little icons next to the message like below.  It indicates you've replied to a message, an arrow going to the right means you've forwarded the message and a paper clip indicates an attachment.
Items on the toolbar can be identified by right clicking the toolbar and selecting icons with text.

  • What do the little icons mean?!?!

    Hi,
    A quick question, well 2 really!
    I have a specially inquisitive client, who is always asking me difficult questions:
    1) In mail, what do the little icons mean that you sometimes get when opening an IMAP account. They look like little circles next to the inbox name - one has, like, 3 quarters filled in, the other has, maybe, 1/8th filled in... I can't find this information anywhere!
    2) Why does it take longer to show messages for IMAP accounts? I guess its because Mail is checking the synchronisation (or something else) between Mail and the IMAP server, but what's the official line?!?!
    Cheers!

    Hi James,
    Since no-one else has replied I'll try to answer your question.
    The circle you discribe is shown to the rightside of inbox when the Mail-app is connecting (retrieving) messages. Or when you click on another mail-box such as Trash or Junk. If it's not completing which it should then disappear, Apple suggests you go to DOT-MAC & read your mail there. This is because since the release of Tiger or mid 2005 Mail-app has difficulty reading unread mail from DOT-MAC! But I do find that if it's already open it can sort my in-coming Junk mail OK! And un-read messages. This answers your second question, I hope this helps.

  • Mail, what are the meaning of the little icons?

    Does anyone know where to find the meanings of the little icons next to each mailbox? ie. one looks like a thunderbolt, another looks like a clock.

    I think the thunderbolt means the mailbox is offline, and the clock means it is currently trying to go online...

  • TS3276 When I receive an email it doesnt show "1" on the dock icon of mail.

    I have 2 accounts online on my mail app, one pop and an imap.
    When I receive a mail through pop, it doesnt show "1" on the dock icon of mail. Through imap everything works fine.

    Why now is showing me this amount of emails as unread?? I have already marked them as read..

  • What is the little circle spinning at the top of my phone

    What is the little circle spinning at the top of my phone

    If you mean the one in the upper left corner by your carrier name and WiFi icon, that is a symbol that indicates that the phone is connecting to a website, downloading something. It is a network activity indicator.
    If it is continually spinning, it is searching for a signal or for something that it's not finding.

  • HT203176 My computer gets bogged down in disk utility "gathering disk information." I can't get past this to reach the first aid tab. The little icon just keeps going round and round. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    My Mac crashed today for the first time in the seven years I have owned it. I was working in Photoshop. It had been getting slower and slower in Photoshop. Now I can't start the computer at all. Using the Installer CD, I can't get through to use the Disk Utility to try to fix it. The computer gets bogged down in disk utility "gathering disk information."

  • What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?

    What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean?  [Fig. 1]
    I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
    I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
    Again, any help is appreciated.
    Fig.1

    OK, I think I might have figured this out.
    First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
    Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
    You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
    That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
    For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha. 
    Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
    If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
    I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
    But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
    Thanks for trying to help anyway.

  • How do I get the little icons for bookmarks to reappear in my pulldown menu?

    How do I get the little icons for bookmarks to reappear in my pull down menu? When I go to Bookmarks, and I go to Bookmarks Toolbar, the list of bookmarks used to have the little logos/icons associated with the company, etc. I liked these. When v9.0.1 updated, I lost these. Can they come back? Thanks for a great browser! Gene Newman, West Bloomfield, MI

  • What's the difference in Apple Mail using "On My Mac" folders vs Export Mailbox?

    What's the difference in Apple Mail using "On My Mac" folders vs Export Mailbox?

    One (On My Mac) is a set of folders, the other is a way to export a mailbox for archiving or transfer to another machine.
    What do you want to do, these are not even similar.

    It all smells like third party software conflict.  Can you think of any candidates for third party stuff that interacts with mail, attachments, the file system?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
