What happened to toDo's in Mail

What happened to ToDo's in mail? I used to be able to create a ToDo from a mail message I have not found a way to do that with the upgrade to Lion.

Hi, NO_PC. I missed the to-do box on Mail also, but I played with Mail and iCal till I found how to do it. I checked with Apple Express to be sure this was the way to do it.
In Mail, mouse over the header until you see the grab hand. Drag it to iCal and drop it into the events column. Then, grab the event and drop it in the Reminders column. It will make a reminder but careful! cuz both event and reminder will be in focus. If you delete the event, you'll delete the reminder too unless you first click in white space (or esc) to remove focus. Then click on the event and delete.
Open the reminder and you'll see the URL box says "Show in Mail" so you can refer back to the original email. If you "archive" the message it'll just stay in the archive mailbox till you're done with it.
I explained this in another section, if you want to read that (at the bottom):

No PCs. Bad PCs! Good luck, DeAnne

What happens with rules in the mail?

My rules are not working correctly....What happens?

in mail, you can set it to do certain things if it meets the criteria
The first rule, which comes preset makes any emails from apple appear slightly blue in your list, you can disable this with the checkbox or just Remove it altogether.
Add Rule settings
Use the Add Rule pane to create the conditions a message must meet for the rule to apply and the actions to take when the rule is applied.
Option
Description
Description
Enter a description of the rule, which appears in the list of rules. For example, “book club.”
If “any” or “all” of the following conditions are met
Specify when the rule applies to a message by choosing “any” or “all” from the pop-up menu. The rule can be applied when a message meets any (even just one) of the listed conditions, or only when it meets all of the conditions.
Conditions list
Using the pop-up menus and the text field, create one or more conditions.
For example, choose Subject from the first pop-up menu, choose Contains from the second pop-up menu, and type “book club” in the text field. Click Add to create another condition, or Remove to delete one.
To add message headers to the pop-up menu, choose Edit Header List from the pop-up menu, click Add (+), enter a header name, and then click OK.
Actions list
Using the pop-up menus, specify actions to take when a message meets the required conditions.
For example, choose Move Message from the first pop-up menu and then choose a mailbox named “my book club” from the second pop-up menu. Click Add to specify another action or Remove to delete one.
If you have multiple rules, it’s recommended that you create an action using “Stop Evaluating Mail Rules.”
As for rules not working, make sure everything is correctly set

What happens to calls when voice mail is not set up?

Odd question...what happens to calls placed to a number that does not have the voice mail set-up yet? Do they show up as missed calls or anywhere in the call log for that number? Or is it like the call never happened because it was not answered and could not go to voice mail? Also curious as to whether or not missed calls show up on the phone once it is powered back on after having been shut off (powered all the way down). I realize those calls will go to voice mail (provided it has been set-up) but will the calls show up as missed on the phone when it is turned back on?

Not odd...On Verizon if it is not set up, you will hear a recording that says "Im sorry, but the party you are trying to reach has a vm box that has not been set up yet". It will show as missed if the phone is on, and will appear in the log if the phone is on. If the phone is powered off, the call does not show in the log when turned back on. It will appear as if it never happened. You will only know if you get a VM (if its set up) or if the person tells you, hey I called you!

Upgraded! What happened to my Notes in Mail?

I upgraded to Maverick and now my Notes are gone! What happened to my Notes? Where are they?

It's not on my Dock between Messages and Reminders, which are also not on my Dock.
I had to use Spotlight to find it. They are still intact.

Unsure of what happened to my address book, mail, and app store?

My address book, mail, and app store are missing! Did they come with the computer when I bought it? (I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I bought it about 2 years ago) They all have different problems when I click on them. For starters, they three look like this in my app folder
Then, when i click my address book, it comes out all smushed like this: ( i had to crop out much of the image due to personal information, but all information and links are smushed)
The app store, when clicked, force quits immediately.
& lastly, the mail will not even open. no blank screen, no force quitting apple message, nothing. infact, to quit the mail program, i have to force stop it myself.
I really want to use these things and I just don't understand why they dont work, shouldnt they be included with my computer? that's the impression i was under, i didn't know i had to purchase the app store, mail, or address book? why wont they show up and what can i do to fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

What happened to the wheel in Mail?

The little rotating indicator wheel which used to be a feature of "Mail" has gone. It was so very useful when you have a slow connection and without it I can not see whether The Mail app is attempting to send mail or not. Neither can I see when the app is attempting to receive incoming mail and on which of my accounts? It has also disappeared from "classic view" which means that the "classic view is not actually the classic view"!
Is there a way to get my wheel back? Reinventing the wheel would have been OK but removing it makes no sense!

Yup, it's gone. I miss it, too. And so do a lot others, there are already several threads here. But none of us has managed to bring it back. Feedback -> Apple.

What happened to my folders in mail

After installing Mavericks, I restarted and Mail was fine. The next time I quit Mail and reopened it, all my folders were gone. These were folders I used to store messages I wanted to keep. Are they gone forever? Hidden?

I haave an external USB drive that I plug in and then I go to the icon for time machine in the menu bar and backup to the USB drive.

What happened to my notes in mail?

When I upgraded to Marvericks and opened the notes app, I don't see my notes.

Ok.. deselect the box next to Notes in System Preferences > ICloud then reselect the box. Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
You must be using the same iCloud account on the iOS devices and your Mac in order for Notes to sync correctly.

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

What happens to a mail item, Fn-Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed

What happens to a mail item, when Fn-Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed while in the mail tool? I can't seem to find the email file anywhere.
Is there a way to disable this key pattern in the mail program?

What happens to a mail item, when Fn-Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed while in the mail tool? I can't seem to find the email file anywhere.
Looks to me like I permanently deletes the message.
Is there a way to disable this key pattern in the mail program?
Is this really a key combination you find it easy to press by mistake? To answer the question, no, it doesn't look like you can remap that, but note that if you choose Edit -> Undo immediately after deleting, the message will come back.

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.

I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. What happened?

I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. The only sharing options I have are for Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes, and as Ringtone. What happened? I'm using the Garageband App 1.4(180.6) This happened once before, and by the time I'd gotten done submitting my question, the problem was fixed.

I powered my iPad off, and started it back up. Works fine now. huh.

What happened to the attachment icon in Mail?

I just upgraded to Lion, and I noticed that there wasn't an icon for mail attachments. I looked into preferences and no option there. I have to go into the menu to attach a file. What happened? That seems to be a pretty basic function.

You're right - it's not there, but it's such a long time since I've used it, I hadn't missed it! You can either go to File > Attach file, or do what I always do which is to open the folder containing the doc(s) you want to attach and simply drag onto the body of the email. You can also select more than one doc at once by using the Shift key (or the Apple key if they are not sequential) and attach several.
