November 18, 2009 at 00:55Convenient mail through Apple Mail
Everyday life makes you look for ways and solutions to make some things easier to use. This process is called automation. Today I was faced with the task of automating the work of my own mailbox. Earlier, I had to talk about setting up a standard Mac OS X mail client in conjunction with a Gmail server. Time passed and the volume of letters forced to look for a more convenient solution for cataloging mail. But first things first.
The setup process will begin with the client. If this is your first tincture of Apple Mail, then use this instruction. If it is already configured as described in my previous article , then reconfigure according to official recommendationsGoogle Below I enclose a few screenshots, for clarity.
Today, quite a lot of different services on the network use email notification systems. This is usually the majority of blogs, social networks, web 2.0 resources and so on. My blog is no exception. You can easily enable notifications of new comments using the special form at the bottom of the page. The main problem is that there can be a lot of such notifications. When this happens, the sorting task arises - separating the notification letters from other mail. And here the label and filter system comes to our aid. Labels are labels or folders in which sorted letters will be stored, and filters are kind of rules that analyze the contents of the message and determine which label to move it to. First, you need to decide which services clutter your mailbox the most.Amazon S3 , subscriptions from various blogs, notifications from Facebook , Twitter and job search sites that give me fresh offers. Have you decided? Now go to the settings of the main Gmail interface and add them.
If the checkboxes next to "Show in IMAP" are opposite each label, then we are waiting for the reaction from Apple Mail.
Next, you need to shove letters on these labels. All in the same web interface of Gmail go to the “Filters” tab and create a new filter. In the form that appears, various sorting criteria can be indicated. In my case, using the Twitter service as an example, it is necessary to enter the sender’s email address in the “From” form.
At the next step, specify “Skip the Inbox” so that new letters get into the label bypassing the inbox; "Also apply filter to ... conversations below" to move the old ones there. And we indicate the name of the label where, in fact, the movement will take place.
Now the filters should work and sort the mail. But that’s not all. A client with standard settings will not show you notifications of new letters in the Dock if they immediately go to labels. The solution was found in the client settings.
Now it’s all. And as always, with comments and suggestions, I ask in the comments.
