I created a vip mail box by mistake and I can not find out how to delete it. Does anyone know?
Thanks
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Actually, there is no need to mess with the mail folders with Finder and Terminal. Just click on the disclosure triangle next to the VIPs mailbox to expose the list of names. Either:
(1) control-click on each of the names and select Remove from VIPs from the contextual menu until all the names disappear from the VIPs mailbox. Quit Apple Mail then run it again - the VIPs folder should have gone.
Or:
(2) click on each name and any mail within that name. Click on the star next to the name in the mail; the name should disappear from the VIPs mailbox. Sometime, if you deselect the star from the last name, the VIP mailbox would disappear from the left pane, or at the most, left with no disclosure triangle. If that's the case, simply quit Apple Mail and run it again - it should disappear.
Thanks so much for this. Worked PERFECTLY and your instructions were so easy to follow.
thank you again.
cheers
I was having the same problem of the empty folder still there. Once you follow the instructions and delete the file, make sure you go empty your trashcan. That fixed it for me.
This definitely doesn't work. I tried it many, many times before it just disappeared of its own accord.
That didn't work for me.
Brilliant....worked like a charm!!! Thanks so much.
thanks! worked perfect here!
Perfect, That works.
Perfect! Thanks for that.
I screwed up something and lost my whole email.....
how can I get it back?
I tried both and neither one worked! Mail 7.1 is a complete disaster. I automatically shows every email and it is confusing which one you opened up. It *****.
This worked great for me!
Thanks Victor
Thanks man!
Thanks man!
It does not work here with Apple Mail 7.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks). I tried also the terminal and not selecting the VIP mailfolder to no avail. Any idea? Thanks.
Bless your heart the dang VIP folder is gone Prin
