What will be the difference between a smart folder and a normal
folder in mail?
I know smart folders have been around for a while but I just havnt
needed to use one, quite happy with normal folders.
The help menu assumes I know what it is talking about.
Hi Jo,
Smart Mailboxes can be used for anything from sorting emails from
your boss to a different folder than those from your friends,
or sorting your messages based on when they were received.
For example, let's say you want to create two Smart Mailboxes, one
for email messages
you've received today, and another for messages you've received this
week.
To create these Smart Mailboxes:
1. Launch Mail.app
2. From the Mailbox menu, select "New Smart Mailbox"
3. In the "Smart Mailbox Name" field, type in "Today's Email"
4. Change the "From" pop-up to "Date Received", and leave the second
pop-up set
to "is today"
5. Click OK
That creates a Smart Mailbox that when selected only displays the
messages in your
Inbox that came in today.
To create another Smart Mailbox for email that's come in this week:
1. From the Mailbox menu, select "New Smart Mailbox" item
2. In the "Smart Mailbox Name" field, type in "This Week"
3. Change the "From" pop-up to "Date Received"
4. Change the second pop-up from "is today" to "is this week"
5. Click OK
The possibilities are limitless, so use your imagination and create
Smart Mailboxes to
automatically sort and sift your messages to your heart's content!
Cheers,
Ronni
