In some cases, these problems have caused Mail folders to go missing - without those the app won’t work, so there are solutions to these that most users can manage without too much difficulty to get the Mail app working again. Fix: Check your Mail Connections. Open the Mail app. Go to the Window in the top menu and click on Connection Doctor.

You can create rules that help you manage incoming email messages and automate tasks, such as replying to or deleting messages. For example, you can create a rule that highlights messages from a specific person, or that automatically moves messages from your inbox to other mailboxes.

  1. Use information found in Mail in other apps. If you can’t open Mail. Troubleshoot email problems in Mail on Mac.
  2. MS apparently decided to change the way clicking on links works, but I've found that if you right-click one, you get the options to open in a new tab or new window. That's easier than copy & paste.
  3. The file you are trying to open must be within this directory, not at a higher level. Find your current directory in Finder. Open a series of folder until you reach the file you'd like to open.

  1. In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.

    To review an example of a rule, select a provided rule, then click Edit. To close the rule, click Cancel.

  2. Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.

  3. Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied to a message.

  4. Specify the conditions.

    You can use AppleScript scripts as rule actions.

  6. When you’re done, click OK, then decide to apply rules to existing messages already in mailboxes or to new messages.

    You can apply rules to existing messages later by choosing Message > Apply Rules.

If you have multiple rules, they’re applied in the order in which they appear in the list of rules; drag a rule up or down to change the order.

Mail stops applying rules to a message when it encounters the Stop Evaluating Rules action, or when a message is transferred to another mailbox by rules used on a mail server or computer or device synced to your computer.
