Apple's Mail - A Time Saver Super Tip

OSXFAQ Reader Tip By William Shipley

If you're viewing a list of messages over a slow internet link and you can see from the subject lines that some are spam, so you want to delete them without ever downloading them, you can double-click on the viewer window's splitter bar to minimize the text view at the bottom of the window.

Mail is smart enough to not download messages that you click on in this mode (or their attachments!), and not mark them as read (also saving time, because on a slow internet link even marking messages as read takes a couple seconds). You can quickly highlight the messages you don't want and delete them, then select a message you do want to read, and double-click on the splitter bar again (it'll be at the very bottom of the window).

Enjoy :-)
