Easy Automatic Highrise Dropbox in Apple Mail
- The Productivity, Technology entry posted on May 19th, 2008.
I use Highrise to organize my correspondence with the outside world — especially via email. I send so much freaking email everyday. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that I really dig the Dropbox feature.
Here’s the thing though. I want to put my Highrise Dropbox address in the BCC field automatically in Mail.app. This way I know I’m not forgetting to log it and I don’t have to ever think about it. When I want to find a conversation in Highrise, I know it will be there. From there, I can move it to a Case or organize it further.
Now, there may be a better way to do this. And shit, if there is, please tell me. This way sucks. Honestly.
Here’s what I did.
- Open Terminal.app
$ defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders- If nothing shows up, you don’t currently have anything set and you should be golden to move to the next step.
$ defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"BCC" = "dropbox@YOURDROP.highrisehq.com"; }'- Restart Mail.app
That’s it. From now on your email should be automatically BCC’d to your dropbox address and you should get a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Great tip.
Works with Salesforce, as well, and their recently added dropbox feature.
