In the new Mail.app, you can drag the labels ON MY MAC, MAILBOXES, REMINDERS, RSS, etc., on the left side of Mail.app, and organize them in the order you want. In 10.4, these positions were fixed.

But can we rename them?
Yes, but what I'd really like to do is rename them--especially the inane "On My Mac"! Reminds me of one of those silly computers by that other company.
But can we rename them?
You have to open the Mail.app bundle and find the localization file. I'm not using Leopard right at this second, but on 10.4, the English localization file is in
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings. Just backup that file, edit it, and restart Mail.
But can we rename them?
Apparently the "localizable.strings" file is not where Mail stores the string "On My Mac" in Leopard.
10.5: Organize mailboxes in Mail.app
When I try to drag an On My Mac mailbox (folder) to change the order, it always tries to make it a subfolder of another mailbox.
10.5: Organize mailboxes in Mail.app
Drag to the left.
10.5: Organize mailboxes in Mail.app
I've seen on Mac OS X Hints, a tip for how to change the case of the items in the Mail.app sidebar to "Title" case instead of "Capitals" - if you hunt down that tip you may be able to use the info it contains to modify the names of these items.
10.5: Organize mailboxes in Mail.app
I thought that related to the Finder sidebar.
10.5: Organize mailboxes in Mail.app
It's the same basic process. Backup the file
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings (presuming your Mac is set to use English), then edit it to use sensible names.
10.5: Organize mailboxes in Mail.app
Nope. I can't find any reference to the sidebar headings in there.
10.5: Organize mailboxes in Mail.app - Hiding the "Reminders" heading
I cannot seem to find the way to hide the "Reminders" heading. I have found out how to restore it -- just add a "To Do" or a "Note".
10.5: Organize mailboxes in Mail.app - Hiding the "Reminders" heading
Oops ... looks like it just needs to be empty of items, then Mail restarted. |
