Sort Mail's sent mail into folders via rules
Authored by: Salamander on Mar 19, '03 11:48:55AM

Does this confer any advantage over making a rule with your email address as a "from" and the person in question's address as a "to"? That's what I've been doing, and apart from having to manually filter the messages, it works well.

What I'd love to know is why incoming messages that are filtered to mailboxes automatically don't result in a count on the dock icon. This means that when Mail is hidden, you only get notification of messages from people you don't have filtered mailboxes for. Crazy.

And while I'm at it, is there a way to get a BCC field when composing emails?

I just realised after I posted that the point of this hint is that it allows you to make one rule to do both To and From. Sorry for being slow today :-)

However, I'm interested to know what happens when someone sends an email with two people in the "To" field: you and someone else you've got filters for. Might it end up in the mailbox you made for the other recipient, since it matches them on the "To" criterion before the sender in the "From" criterion?

To get a BCC field while composing mail, hit Cmd-Shift-B.

Or go to EDIT and click on "ADD BCC HEADER
