1. Therefore, if you are using macOS later than Sierra and want to recover iMessages, give a cross-check to ensure that the messages have been saved on your Mac hard drive. Step 1 You can choose where to save your chat history from the Messages app. Open the Messages app and go to Preferences General.

Receiving Text Messages on a Mac. For receiving text messages (from some non-iPhone device) on the Mac OS, you have to set up both your Mac as well as your iPhone as per the steps mentioned above. This will enable you to receive text messages on your Mac OS with much ease. When it works properly, you can send messages from your Mac or your iPhone and they sync over iCloud. Image from Apple. Once it’s set up, your Mac should display all the text messages or iMessages you send or receive with any of your other Apple devices. You should also be able to send new messages from your Mac, as a text or an iMessage. On macOS, Messages has several of the fun effects that can be found on its iOS counterpart to help liven up your conversations.However, Messages for Mac isn't quite the same app as Messages for iPhone and iPad, with a number of effects left out of this version that have made their way to the mobile app.

Go to next unread message in Mail via keyboard 14 comments Create New Account

If you have the preview pane open in Apple's Mail, with your list of Inbox messages on the top and the preview of the selected message on the bottom, then the up and down arrow keys will allow you to move the selection up and down the message list, subsequently showing you a preview of the newly selected message.

While it is true you can use the preview pane and scroll through the message list with the arrow keys, there's still a snag. When you hit a message that's longer than the preview pane, you have to either mouse down or tab down to scroll through that message and then mouse back or tab back to move to the next message.
Personally, I like the way you can do it in Eudora. I have the open next message command set to CMND-Down arrow, then I just scroll through the window using the arrow keys. This means all navigation through the mail box can be done with just three keys (CMND, up arrow, down arrow). It would be nice if Mail allowed such a simple system. I just wish Eudora allowed the above to move you only to the next unread message, rather than just to the next in line.

Just use the space bar -- space scrolls the previewed message down, shift-space scrolls up. Between the arrow keys and space bar, you can do all that you want.

But only if you use the Preview Pane.

Is there a way to get Mail.app toactually open the next unread msg as opposed to just highlighting it as this script does? This is the same sort of action as Eudora. I tried adding:
open selected messages
as in
tell the front message viewer
set unreadMessages to (the messages whose ¬
read status is false) as list
if (count of unreadMessages) is not 0 then
set selected messages to {the first item of unreadMessages}
else
beep
end if
open selected messages
end tell
and it does work for the first initiation of the script (e.g. it opens the first unread msg), but each subsequent invocation of the script does nothing but highlight the next unread msg.

i dont understand the '___ctl-n cause the script to use ^N as a keyboard shortcut.'
does this work for all scripts in OSX? doesnt seem to work for me.

Yes - the shortcuts technique listed here works for any scripts (AS, shell, perl, etc) that you can use through the Scripts menu. Seems to be very little documentation on this though.

You can also simply hit spacebar to scroll through all messages. What I would really like is an option to jump to the next unread message in any mailbox when I reach the end of one mailbox like Mozilla does.

Hitting the space bar only works with the preview pane open. And if you've got the preview pane open, you can use the arrow keys as well.
This script is for those of us who don't use the preview pane.

I don't know much about Applescript, so this may be something easy that I'm missing. However, it doesn't appear that this searches messages that are arranged by thread. I can find all of the messages that are *not* in threads just fine.

I've got an answer to the guy who wanted Thunderbird mode... I just built on top of the poster's script here to make it check to find the first mailbox with unread messages, then find the first unread message in that box.
The only issue is, it only searches the messages in 'On My Mac'. The others, however, have Cmd-1 through Cmd-5 hotkeys already assigned to them, though, so this doesn't distress me much. I have a bunch of filters set up, and I have one that just dumps everything else into On My Mac->Inbox if it doesn't match anything else.

I use a smart folder called 'Unread' that shows all my unread messages. In that folder I can use the spacebar to step through all my new e-mails.

[quote]I use a smart folder called 'Unread' that shows all my unread messages. In that folder I can use the spacebar to step through all my new e-mails.[/quote] Ok, that may well be the best use of a smart mailbox I've ever heard of, and now I have to try it for myself! I'm having an specific issue within Mail regarding the 'next unread message', and I wonder if anyone's got a suggestion for this problem. I'm subscribed to a email list, and I have setup a filter to move all incoming emails from that list into a folder for browsing. As I'm browsing the unread emails in that folder, which is sorted both as a 'date received' and 'threaded' view. I will read the first unread message, then hit the space bar to get to the next message. The posters on this list put their new comments at the top of the email, so reading 12 related postings is as simple as clicking to a message, reading the top paragraph withing the preview pane, and then clicking the next unreard message. I'd love to be able to navigate this via the keyboard like Thunderbird allows you to. Pressing 'N' to see the next unread message would be soo sweet. I wonder why Apple has not integrated a feature like this. Once a thread gets to about 10 or 12 postings, there is quite a bit of cruft left over at the bottom of each email. Pressing the space bar 8 times in order to scroll all the way through a message just to get to the next message is NOT GOOD for disabled users.

'and that's the way it oughta be!'

In order to run the script you can use the free (at least for now) Butler http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?thema=butler&sprache=english - you can make a hotkey or a script button on a menubar... life-saver ;)
