Mac Mail

Haven’t had the time to write for a while, work has kept me away from the real important things :)

Here goes a quick but useful tip: how many times have you started typing an email address in Mac Mail and, without even looking and blindly trusting auto-complete, you’ve sent the email to the wrong recipient? That’s annoying, here’s how to clean up all or some email adresses in Mac Mail.

Method 1:

  • Select Window > Previous Recipients
  • A window appears with all used recipients
  • Highlight those you want to delete (multiple selection with the command key)

Previous recipients

Method 2 (individual recipients only):

  • Open a new message window ( Cmd + N)
  • Type the recipient you want to delete
  • Click on the small arrow besides the recipients email
  • Select “Remove from Previous Recipients List”

Previous recipients

And that’s all, one of those small fetaures that makes Mac OS X Mail so useful, as usually this sort of utilities are way under the hood.
