First, use rules in Mail itself, by creating a Smart Mailbox and/or going to Preferences > Rules. Alternatively, set up rules on your mail server. For instance, you can tell Gmail or iCloud to automatically tag or move mail to a certain place based on sender, subject, and other criteria. These are called filters. The advantage of server-based filters over local rules on your Mac is that filters apply to your mail on all devices. So, mail is moved to your Apple folder on the Mac as well as on your iPhone, for instance. > I would like all mail from each group" together.

Sounds like you have conversations off. Go to the View menu and check "organize by conversation" to group mail by thread. Then, pressing delete on a thread erases all the messages in that thread. You can arrow through mail, as you know, but holding down shift as you arrow will select as you move. The delete key then erases all selected messages. Using vo-cmd-enter (Mavericks only) may work, I haven't tried it yet. > 2. What are the steps to read from a chip?

Press cmd-o to open it, and from there it's like any other folder. The right arrow may also open it, that depends on the view setting, as with any Finder window. > How would I copy for instance an email address to the clipboard and then > paste it into a new email?

To copy an email address, select it and press cmd-c. To select it from a document, open that document, find the address, and use normal navigation commands combined with shift. For instance, option-right moves right a word, so option-shift-right selects the word to the right. If the drive is from Windows, it is likely NTFS. You are able to read the files on that format, but you cannot write anything. So, you can open up a file and copy an email address, but if you want to modify the file, you'll need to save a copy somewhere else first. > > > > reggie and Allegra > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
