Reader Cynthia Nakano needs a more streamlined way to create admonisher . She pen :
I ’m running Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air and I often receive electronic mail messages that I ca n’t deal with at that moment but bid to playact on later . I ’ve tried flag these content but I sometimes receive so much email that my flags get lose in the shuffle . Any wind ?
I can provide two . One hark back to the old day and the other is something newish and coolish .
The Old Days method is to simply ensure that the Flags column look in your mailboxes ( choose View - > Columns - > Flags if you do n’t see such a column ) and then press that pillar . All your flagged item will move to the top of the message list . you’re able to then deal with them as you care .
A more modern style to nudge yourself is to use the Reminders program . Just plunge Reminders , choose an e-mail message from within one of Mail ’s mailboxes , and cart it to one of the headings within admonisher — Work or Home , for example . When you do , a novel reminder is make that bear the capable heading of the email message — Lunch on Thursday , for case . As with any other reminder you create , you may then set this one to pop up at a exceptional day of the month and clock time . If you require some reminding about the intention of your reminder , just get across on the Show in Mail link that appear below your reminder ’s name . That message will open in Mail .
What make this new - ishis the fact that you could do something interchangeable in Lion . Of of course Lion does n’t have a Reminders software , but it does have iCal . In this case , you ’d drag an email content to a 24-hour interval in an iCal calendar , where it then turns into an event . To set it up as a reminder , just attach an alarum to it . Snow Leopard offers a similar feature article , though the message heading does n’t appear as the event ’s rubric but rather what seem to be a random chain of characters .
