#Setup mac mail gmail in el capitan how to
(I won’t cover setting up filters with other email providers check their documentation to find out how to do this.)Ĭlick OK, and you’ll have a new mailbox both on the server, and in Mail. Select a location if you choose On My Mac, you won’t be able to use filters on your server, so choose your email provider, such as iCloud or Gmail. If you don’t have multiple mailboxes, create a new one by choosing Mailbox > New Mailbox. I’ll start with Mail on OS X, since, if you use this app, you’ll want to set up folders or mailboxes there that your server-side filters will use as well. It’s easy to set up filters, and it can make your email life a lot easier. In this article, I’ll look at filtering email on iCloud and Gmail, two of the most popular email services, and explain how you can create filters in Mail. And you can filter email on your Mac, in your email program. There are many ways to filter email: in some cases you can filter your email directly on a server, so filtered messages don’t go into your inbox at all, making it easier to deal with email on your iOS device. If you’re using email for business, you may want to filter emails by client, or put support emails in one mailbox, and sales queries in another. You may want to have separate mailboxes for your work and personal emails, or specific mailboxes for emails from close friends. To help work efficiently with email, it’s a good idea to filter some of your messages. The average user receives about 90 emails per day, a dozen of which are spam. Incoming Mail Server: email is slowly being replaced by other forms of communication such as text messaging, or services like Slack, it is still the main way people do business.
Here are my settings, to confirm the IMAP config is as I said, and also to compare to others who are working fine.
Using IMAP so yes, emails are all on the server with also copies locally.Ĭan I in Mac Mail somehow determine all the folders a given message is in? If it's in All Mail and Online Orders, how can I determine that since only one folder (Gmail label) shows up in the spot you indicate. Do you use Gmail accounts with Mac Mail? If so I'd love to know your Mac Mail settings and Gmail setting because it's been such an ambiguous challenge to setup I'll match whatever you've figured out, no questions asked! OT, I've seen so many of your very helpful posts while trying to resolve my issues. Again, I want to see where I've filed it. Note I'll sometimes see "Sent Messages (BenGmail)" if I've sent the message to myself and then filed the message. How can I see the other mailboxes that those messages are in? The one(s) that matter! (Preferably instead of seeing the All Mail, but any way I can do it will help.) Can't figure out when/why it does or doesn't show, but regardless it's still not showing the whole story.

Yes, your circles are where my search results almost all say " Archive - BenGmail (All Mail)" but I know those messages to ALSO be in another mailbox I've filed them to like "Online Orders" is a good example.Īnd if I click on one of the messages like in the results you show, there is sometimes no folder indicated in the message header (even when it's indicated in the search results) or else it's just the All Mail folder indicated there, too. Thank for quick reply & screenshot for clarity. The All Mail folder is "Show in IMAP" checked yes in the online Gmail settings since I've seen many posts insisting this is required for proper functioning of the Mail/Gmail combo at this time. Using Mac Mail 9.2 (3112), OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan, with a Gmail account (as well as other accounts). I've also turned up Mac Mail messages using Safari from the Finder and have the same issue. In Mac Contacts you can highlight a contact and then hold the Option key to highlight all the groups that contact is in, for example. I'd like to be able to do this for any message at any time (possible?), but particularly in that find scenario. How can I see the other Mac Mail folders a given message is in? (The other "labels" used by Gmail) THAT is what I want to see, where I've dragged that message to file it myself. Which is technically true, but most of them I've also filed in other, specific mailboxes. In Mac Mail when I search for a message in my Gmail account using the search box in the upper right of the toolbar, all the results are shown as being filed in the "Archive - AcctName (All Mail)" mailbox.
