Apple Mail - highlight email addresses

[markgodley]

Hey,

I run a site and accept paypal as a payment. Sometimes i have bad customers and try and open disputes "unauthorised use" after they receive the item. Obviously i dont want to deal with these people again and paypal dont allow you to block them in future.

But wondered if there was any tools in apple mail that highlights a customers email address so i know they are old customers who caused me trouble. Obviously i wont be able to remember all their email address. But it would be nice if there was a way to filter or highlight the email address so i know to refund them and not deal with them

thanks

Yep — go to the application preferences, 'Rules' and you can set rules that cause emails from certain senders or groups of senders to appear with a certain coloured background or a certain colour of text. Apple include one such rule, to cause any emails from Apple to appear with a blue background, so you can use that as a guide to figure out what's going on.
