Apple mail blue highlight

The blue highlight in Apple Mail!

The blue highlight in Apple Mail is a feature that helps you quickly identify important messages in your inbox. When you highlight a message, it turns blue, making it stand out from other messages. Here are some ways you can use the blue highlight feature in Apple Mail:

  1. Mark as important: You can mark a message as important by selecting it and then clicking the "Mark as Important" button in the toolbar or using the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + I. This will turn the message blue and move it to the "Important" mailbox.
  2. Highlight a message: You can also highlight a message by selecting it and then clicking the "Highlight" button in the toolbar or using the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + H. This will turn the message blue, but it won't move it to the "Important" mailbox.
  3. Use smart mailboxes: Apple Mail has a feature called Smart Mailboxes that allows you to create custom mailboxes based on specific criteria, such as sender, subject, or importance. You can create a Smart Mailbox that highlights important messages and moves them to a specific mailbox.
  4. Customize the highlight color: If you don't like the blue highlight color, you can change it to a different color. To do this, go to Mail > Preferences > Viewing, and then select a different highlight color from the "Highlight color" dropdown menu.

Overall, the blue highlight feature in Apple Mail is a useful way to quickly identify important messages and keep your inbox organized.
