Hi,

I have questions about the "built in" Mac mail.

Is there a way I can set certain incoming e-mail messeges to go straight to certain mailboxes (such as i Tunes receipts to a folder calle iTunes) and bypass the Inbox?

Also I've let a lot of e-mails pile up - is there a way to search for messege that contain attachments (or even photos in particular)?

Cheers.

If you go into preferences and then rules you can get mails to go into certain folders
I have one setup to move all mails from itunes into a separate folder

Not sure how you search for messages that contain attachments though
 
If you just want to find which messages contain attachments and don't need them to automatically go into a certain folder, you could just go onto the main mail window, ctrl+click on the from/subject/date received bar and select attachments, then click on that to view messages with attachments at the top.

Hope this helps even slightly! :)
