Good grief ...
At the risk of sounding slightly abusive, this is a hint?
If this trend continues, I can see this hint down the road: "For the longest time, I thought my brand-new Apple was broken; every time I tried to use my iMac, I just saw a dark black screen. Finally, after trying everything in the book, I figured out what was wrong. A few of you may not know this, but there's a button you press on your Apple that actually starts feeding electricity into the hardware. You press it, and the computer starts booting up. It's not really well-documented in the manual, but I finally saw it labeled on a diagram. They call it the 'power button.'" Come on, this is something obvious that's been repeatedly demonstrated by Apple. There's even a flippin' screenshot right on their page for the Mail application.
Oh well...
Can't win 'em all. Sorry you found it so obvious, as did 99% of the folks out there (myself included) ... but I chose to publish it after having been asked not once but twice yesterday how the junk mail filter works. It seemed ironically timely that this was sitting in the submission queue.
Oh well...
its awfully nice of you to be so moderate robg, but the simple fact of the matter is that this person is a tart, pure and simple.
Oh well...
The fact is that now, anyone who found that rather obvious hint useful will beafraid to admit it for fear of not seeming to be a member of the site's Illuminati..... There's nothing wrong with a seemingly obvious hint from a relatively new user! It is a step towards further communication..., that's all!
Oh well...
It IS a good hint in my opinion because there are many who have never used a Mac mail app before OS X. I myself have been in FreeBSD for two decades, and have never used a mac before in my life before they decided to go with X. If I may, I would like to add something to your hint. The default Junk Mail setting on my system was set to send all mail to junk if the sender is not in the address book. I didn't check that! duH! Rather than keep the junk mail around, I also set the prefs to delete junk mail. So imagine my surprise when I watched the dialogue indicating the reception of 10 messages that didn't show up in the inbox, or anywhere else for that matter. There was not one single address in my address book either, so all was deleted. OS X is easy to use.... perhaps TOO easy for an old BSD geek like me. :)
Oh well...
As for this being an easy hint, I say never underestimate the power of stating the obvious.
For instance, I was having problems with my email client of choice, PowerMail, so I fired up Mail.app to keep tabs on my email while I tracked down the problem.
I did set up Mail.app to put it through its paces but I hadn't used for a month or so. I was welcomed by an alert asking me if I wanted take the Junk filter out of training mode and into automatic.
It may be a tad early for Miracle on 34th Street, I must declare that if Apple engineers deem it useful tastefully remind me to set my Junk filter to automatic, who am I to dispute it?
:-)

I found it helpful.
Good grief ...
Thanks for the hint!!!! Now I can stop using my iBook for a frisbee!!!!
Good Grief=Thanks for the tip
I've finally found the little button which turns off the mac & allows me to read no more of your pompous drivel. |
