I switched to a Mac in August 2008 and am very happy I made the switch, but there are some small things that I can't figure out - hoping this forum can help.

1) Is it possible to make "Documents" the default "save as" location for attachments instead of "Saved Attachments"?

2) Is there a "Mark As Unread" button that can be placed in the toolbar? I have found the workaround by right clicking on the email and then checking "mark as unread", but would love a button in my toolbar instead.

3) Is there a way to make an appointment private while entering it into calendar? I currently create the calendar entry, then highlight it, right click on it, and then click "private" - but it sure would be nice to save a few steps each time by having a method of making the entry private while entering it.

Thanks for any help that can be given!

There are two scripts that will allow you to remove attachments and move
them to a folder of your choosing.

have found the workaround by right clicking on the email and then checking
"mark as unread", but would love a button in my toolbar instead.

I suggest learning the shortcut for this. Command-option-T

I'll have to leave this one to the Exchange folks.

Cheers and Welcome to Mac! I have a few tips and links posted to help new
users here:

Be careful! Command-Option-T marks ALL messages in the current folder as
unread.

The poster wants Command-T, which only marks the CURRENT message as unread.
