In-Depth Information
easily put quoted text first and your reply after (so your recipient needn't jump
around in the message to understand the context).
Tip: Mail lets you define signatures that appear at the bottom of each message
(see Mail > Preferences > Signatures). Although Mail provides a decent level of
customization, it doesn't approach what you can get if you Use a Third-party Text
Expansion Utility instead.
Search Faster with Smart Mailboxes
Back in Create and Use Smart Containers , I explained what smart mailboxes are (basically,
saved searches) and how to create them. If you click a smart mailbox icon, it should initially
display exactly the same messages as the search you used to create it. As you receive and
delete messages that meet your criteria, the list will change.
Here are my favorite suggestions for making smart mailboxes:
Show all correspondence with a specific person or group: Choose
Any from the pop-up menu at the top. Add two conditions, [From] and [Any
Recipient] ,bothofwhichincludetheotherperson'semailaddress.(Toshow
conversations with more than one person, create a new Contacts group with all
the names you want to include, and instead of [From] , choose [Sender Is
a Member of Group] [some-Address-Book-group] . Then add [Any
Recipient] conditions for each person in the group individually.)
Make sure you select Include Messages from Sent to pick up your messages to
this person. For even better results, choose View > Organize by Conversation to
display all your exchanges in a threaded conversation.
Display recent unread messages: If you use rules to move messages into
different mailboxes, you might enjoy seeing all your unread
messages—wherever they may be—in a single place. If you like, limit these to
messages received in the last day (or few days).
Locate attachments in Sent mail: If you often send photos or other large
attachments, their copies in your Sent mailbox can take up a lot of space, and
you probably have the originals. Make a smart mailbox with two conditions:
[Contains Attachments] and [Message is in Mailbox] [Sent] .
From time to time, check this mailbox; to remove attachments from these
messages, select them and choose Message > Remove Attachments.
