Colorize emails by contact group in Mail.app
Authored by: SwissFreek on Jul 21, '05 07:52:36AM

Well, maybe you're just a genious. I for one never thought of using the groups. I've been setting rules up based on individual email addresses. This group thing makes life a whole lot easier. Thanks you guys at MacOSXHints for the tip. Nice to know that someone understands that even though something may be documented, some of us have other things to attend to that prevent us from sitting and reading the program documentation from end to end. That's why you're here. To tell us little things we ourselves might have missed. Keep up the good work.

Colorize emails by contact group in Mail.app
Authored by: Mattherat on Jul 21, '05 10:27:33PM

I did the same with individual rules for sorting my Emails into folders.
Since my migration to Mail, I keep all my mails in the inbox and sent folders and organize my emails with smart mailboxes using Smart Mailbox Folders with Group Smart Mailboxes
Unfortunately Mail does not allow to create rules like
From -> is contact -> contactname
Therfore, I have to add every email addres of the desired contact manually :-( (not very smart indeed)

A workaround would be to create a (smart) address group for every desired contact and a smart mailbox filtering the sender for this group, but this is much to unconvenieant in my opinion, especially it would clutter my neatly organized adressbook groups...

Hopefully, Mail will support that in future versions, should be no problem at all.
