How do I move mails to a local folder

I have created local folders for my work but cannot find out how to move mails into it

Do you mean the "Local Folders" account in Thunderbird?
Select what you want to move. Use sorting, filtering and ctrl+click, shift+click etc to select multiple messages.
Then you can right-click and select "Move to" or "Copy to".
Or you can drag-and-drop them directly onto the target folder.
Note that the target folder must exist before you can move things into it; Thunderbird doesn't let you create a folder on the fly.
You can automate the process by use of Message Filters.
http://en.flossmanuals.net/thunderbird/filters/
If your "local folders" are outside Thunderbird, you may be able to drag and drop messages onto them. Otherwise, you can use '''File|Save As'''. You can save "as-is", as a .eml file, or choose HTML format. Other options are available in this add-on:

  • How can I move mail from the offline folder inbox to a local folder?

    I have an IMAP account and my provider lost all but the last week of my emails. I still have them in the offline folder in Thunderbird so as long as I stay offline I can see the emails but I want to move them to local folders so I can go back online and sync the account without losing them all. How can I do this?

    Ah! You are BRILLIANT!! Thank you so very very very much. Your solution worked PERFECTLY! I now have all the messages I had lost aside from the past two months as the only computer I still had the offline messages was two month out of date BUT losing two months is far better than losing 5 years. You are my new personal HERO! Honestly, I can't thank you enough. This was nightmare and you solved it simply, beautifully, and completely.

  • How can I move mail from Gmail to another account?

    Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
    I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not). Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
    In Mail.app in Mavericks, All Mail must be marked to show as a folder, and when I move a message from a folder in Gmail it will still be in the All Mail folder.
    When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?

    --> mine's working fine. I know there are issues, but it should work

    --> If all you want to do is keep your history, make a local folder on your mac and drag all the mail messages there (both se4nt and incoming).  I am not sure what will happen if you later drag those into the new Xmail account
    When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?
    --> Dont look in "all mail". Open your inbox and look at each individual inbox.
    Good luck,. But first, try to fix your account.

  • How to automatically move messages from an IMAP folder to a local folder?

    I have rules set up on my IMAP server to filter messages to various folders. While these folders do show up in Mail.app, they're listed under the accounts, which, for me, is off the screen. Is there some way I can have these messages automatically moved into a local folder? The built-in rules don't seem to work, as they appear to only apply to messages arriving in an Inbox.
    Having to manually move messages is getting old real fast.

    I think this does what you want. You'll need to create the local mailbox first and change the xxx's to your account identifier:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFDDFF;
    overflow: auto;">
    tell application "Mail"
    set messageList to (messages of mailbox "Dump" of account "[email protected]" of application "Mail")
    move messageList to mailbox "DUMP_Local"
    end tell </pre>

  • How can I move my iPod iTunes Music Folder from C: drive to a New Drive?

    Running out of space on my PC's C: drive, so I tried moving all the folder to my new E: drive ie: (E:\My Music 2\iTunes).
    ALSO set iTunes (Edit/Preferences/Advanced/iTunes Music Folder location to E:\My Music 2\iTunes - but nothing seems to help!)
    All of the files couldn't find the source files, unless I pointed to them one by one.
    Can't move them all back because they are about 7GB+, and I now only have about 5.5 GB on my C: drive.
    And when I just went to open iTunes again, all my libraries don't even show.
    I'm afraid to plug in my ipod for synching until I get this straight, for fear of messing that up too.
    Please advise.

    To move your iTunes music to an external drive...
    1 Quit iTunes.
    2 Move the entire iTunes folder including music to
    the external drive.
    In point #2 do you mean move the entire Program File folder of iTunes or just the "My Documents" iTunes library folder?
    I have a full laptop, a big iPod and an external HD, I am trying to figure out how to store my library on the HD, but access it as if it were on the laptop.
    I moved my iTunes library to the HD and then in iTunes I used the "add folder to library" function, but it brought all of the song files back onto the laptop.
    How do you iPod gurus configure your setup with comp, HD and iPod? I need some guidance, my methods are not working.

  • How do I move pictures from 1 offline folder to another offline folder?

    My Elements 8 pictures are on the root directory of a 16 gig usb drive.  I would like to move them to a new folder on that same drive.  I tried to do it in the folder view by selecting the pics in the root folder and dragging them to the new folder.  That action was not allowed.  I could drag the pics to a C drive folder, but not to a usb drive folder.
    I then used the move function.under the File menu.  It did the move, but changed the name of each item by adding a "-1" to it.  And for each picture it added 1 or 2 small new files to the new folder.  I then had to erase the small new files because they caused me to run out of space.
    How can I easily move items from one external folder to another on my usb drive?

    Thanks for your response... 
    I tried the Move function.  It did not work very well either. 
    I successfully moved several groups of pictures, but PSE added a "-1" to all the files it created in the folder I was moving the items to, and it created 1 or 2 small jpg files for each of the files I moved.  This caused my usb drive to fill up and I had to erase all the extra files.  Eventually the "Move" failed in the last group of pictures I tried to move.  It copied all of them to the new folder, but failed as it tried to delete them from the original folder.  Thus, I now have 2 copies of those picture files on my usb drive.
    By adding the "-1" to the file names, PSE does not appear to recognize folders on a usb drive.  And I  have no idea why it creates the extra small copies of the files...
    Any other ideas?

    When you're looking at the list of documents, touch the Edit button at the upper-right. Then select the file you want to move by touching the check box to its left, and click the Move File icon, it's the third one from the left at the top of the screen. You'll be prompted to "Move selected document" after which the "Choose a location" dialog will appear to allow you to select a destination folder.

  • How do you identify mail in the junk folder as "not junk"?

    I came across this answer on the Apple support site:
    Tell Mail that a message is legitimate by marking it as not junk. Click Not Junk in the banner of the message; or select the message, then click the Not Junk button in the Mail toolbar.
    Unfortunately, I don't see "not junk" in the banner of the message (not entirely sure what a "banner" is, but I'm looking everywhere) or a thumbs up button on any toolbar.

    CTS wrote:
    I do not see that option. The messages in my junk folder do not have those buttons on them.
    Then they weren't marked as Junk by Mail.
    Things can end up in your Junk folder in one of three ways:
    1) Mail's junk filter reviews the message and determines it is junk. It then marks it as junk and moves it into the Junk folder (if prefs set to do so).
    2) An email server marks the message with spam headers because it thinks it is spam. Mail will move those messages to Junk if you have the prefs set to trust junk mail headers. It does not mark those as Junk because it doesn't know why they have the headers set, just that they do.
    3) Your email provider has moved the message to the Spam folder on the server and you are using IMAP (or other server-based account). Again, Mail will not mark those as Junk as Mail did not make the determination that they were Junk.

  • How to make a ARCH package from local folder?

    hello ARCH lovers
    I can't seem to figure out how to make a installable
    package from a folder on my desktop?
    Coming from Slackware; the procedure would be simple enough just issuing
    "makepkg /root/pkgname.txz"
    Now; how would I do the same in ARCH?
    I know about PKGBUILD, etc but there is no source or any url's
    I just need to make it into a .pkg.tar.xz
    The package is my "kernel-live-kit" for both x86 and x86_64 versions of arch
    enabling one to remaster there existing install into a livecd/usb, etc
    The kernel itself is kernel26-zen from AUR
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30330
    however; mine is quite different and also includes all components to make the livecd using modified linux-live-6.3.0
    scripts and special stuff
    The pkg includes a premade kernel with modules and full kernel source
    The resulting live media is similar to my nFluxOS builds
    http://multidistro.com/
    As I will be releasing the new four horsemen of nFluxOS today; I also made 4 Kernel pkg's for the arch and slack versions
    Those will be for x86/x86_64 versions for both arch and slackware
    I did this in lieu of creating a quartet of x86_64 versions of nFluxOS; as that would up the number of versions to 8
    and I would then have to maintain 8 distro's instead of 4.
    I made a testing version of ARCH x86_64 live
    http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ost4017796
    so, I really need to make the ARCH x86 and x86_64 kernel kits into installable pkg's because there are many symlinks that would get corrupted if I just tarred it and then the end user untars it and copies it somewhere it would mess up the symlinks.
    as I said, in slackware I do makepkg and it creates a script named "doinst.sh" that makes all the symlinks, etc
    so, any help appreciated!
    thanks

    You can read a simple introduction to using the ABS here.
    By the way, it's not hard. Out of all the distributions I've used, Arch Linux is the only one I've figured out how to make packages for.

  • How do I move mail from an old server to a new server?

    I am rebuilding my server. The new server runs on OS X 10.9.4 with Server 3.1.2. The old server ran OS X 10.9.x and Server 3.x (the exact versions are not known).
    Within the folder /Library/Server/Mail, I found the email stores for both systems.  I have gone through each folder and identified the 36 character string that serves to identify the user's mailbox and paired each one to a user id on both systems.  On the old system, there are multiple mailboxes for some users, and I think it is a result of the users being deleted and recreated: perhaps the system identified the identical name and assumed that the user might be different and therefore created a unique 36 character id for the mail system.
    The trick is, I am trying to recover the mail from the old server.
    I have attempted to copy the files which are human readable and formatted for SMTP transmission to the new server under the correct mailbox corresponding to the owning user (see screen shots below). The simple act of copying the files has not made these files visible via the IMAP protocol. I have tried restarting the mail service hoping that the Server app would rebuild whatever indexes need to be built so that the mail can be served via IMAP, and that has not worked either.
    The question is, how do I get the mail from the old server mail boxes into the new server mailboxes?
    This screen shot shows the location of one mail collection at /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/[userid].  Mail sits in the "new" folder only for a moment before being processed and put into the "cur" folder.  Copying mail from the old server into the "new" folder produces an empty "new" folder, but one can see the files populate briefly before they are moved into the "cur" folder.
    The next screen shot shows one email opened in TextEdit.  The format should look very familiar.  This is the same format that one would use to send SMTP requests to an SMTP server.  This particular example happens to be an email from a Gmail account to the PediatricHeartCenter.org domain to test the mail system when the old server was set up.  It was sent on 24 Jan 2014 and had text reading "Intended for Mavericks1. -Jared".

    On further research, I have learned that OS X Server sets Dovecot to use the MailDir format.  The email messages can be removed from the folders and put back, and as long as they were present in the folder to begin with (received by Dovecot originally), they reflect in the Mail.app on client computers.  Deleting a file in the "cur" folder causes the file to disappear in Mail.app. Copying the file back into the "cur" folder will cause the file to reappear without any modification of an index file or any other system component, as long as the file was properly formatted by Dovecot to be identifiable to that folder.
    According to Dovecot.org's review of MailDir found here (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Ma,ilboxFormat/Maildir), the file name can be broken into simple pieces: " [unixtimestamp].[process id].[hostName],S=<message size>,W=<virtual message size>/2,[status tags]".  The original MailDir++ specification requires the string ":2," to appear after the virtual size, but this file naming format is not legal in Mac OS X, so Dovecot is modified by Apple to use "/2," instead.
    The Dovecot's wiki describes inserting new messages as follows:
    Mail delivery
    Qmail's how a message is delivered page suggests to deliver the mail like this:
    Create a unique filename (only "time.pid.host" here, later Maildir spec has been updated to allow more uniqueness identifiers)
    Do stat(tmp/<filename>). If the stat() found a file, wait 2 seconds and go back to step 1.
    Create and write the message to the tmp/<filename>.
    link() it into new/ directory. Although not mentioned here, the link() could again fail if the mail existed in new/ dir. In that case you should probably go back to step 1.
    All this trouble is rather pointless. Only the first step is what really guarantees that the mails won't get overwritten, the rest just sounds nice. Even though they might catch a problem once in a while, they give no guaranteed protection and will just as easily pass duplicate filenames through and overwrite existing mails.
    Step 2 is pointless because there's a race condition between steps 2 and 3. PID/host combination by itself should already guarantee that it never finds such a file. If it does, something's broken and the stat() check won't help since another process might be doing the same thing at the same time, and you end up writing to the same file in tmp/, causing the mail to get corrupted.
    In step 4 the link() would fail if an identical file already existed in the maildir, right? Wrong. The file may already have been moved to cur/ directory, and since it may contain any number of flags by then you can't check with a simple stat() anymore if it exists or not.
    Step 2 was pointed out to be useful if clock had moved backwards. However again this doesn't give any actual safety guarantees, because an identical base filename could already exist in cur/. Besides if the system was just rebooted, the file in tmp/ could probably be even overwritten safely (assuming it wasn't already link()ed to new/).
    So really, all that's important in not getting mails overwritten in your maildir is the step 1: Always create filenames that are guaranteed to be unique. Forget about the 2 second waits and such that the Qmail's man page talks about.
    The process described by the QMail man page referenced above suggests that as long as a file is placed in the "new" folder, that a mail reader can access it.  The mail reader then moves the file to the "cur" folder and "cleans up" the "new" folder.  This is clearly happening in OS X, because the messages are moving from "new" to "cur", but IMAP is still not serving these foreign messages to the remote readers.
    The thought crossed my mind that perhaps it is the fact that the host name does not match, which would cause the failure, however changing the "host" portion of the name from the old-server to the new-server did not fix the issue.  Even with the new server name in the file name, the inserted message fails to appear in client Mail applications.
    Within the file their is header information that still references the old machine. I'd like to not have to change the email files, because this will violate the integrity of the message. Also, this might take a lot of time or incur risks associated with poor automated processing. The header information should not be referenced by Dovecot, because the wiki page describing MailDir notes that neither Dovecot nor Dovecot's implementation of IMAP refers to the messages header information when moving and serving these mail files.
    Unlike when using mbox as mailbox format, where mail headers (for example Status, X-UID, etc.) are used to determine and store meta-data, the mail headers within maildir files are (usually) notused for this purpose by dovecot; neither when mails are created/moved/etc. via IMAP nor when maildirs are placed (e.g. copied or moved in the filesystem) in a mail location (and then "imported" by dovecot). Therefore, it is (usually) not necessary, to strip any such mail headers at the MTA, MDA or LDA (as it is recommended with mbox).
    This paragraph leads me to believe that after the mail box is identified that the content of the file becomes irrelevant to the system which manages. This suggests that we should be able to inject messages into a mailbox and have the system serve them as though they had belonged in that mailbox all along. Yet I have not found a way to do this.

  • How do I move mail from MacMini running Leopard to MacBook Air on Lion?

    I've just started using Lion on a MacBook Air and I'm having a problem transferring Mail from my MacMini running Leopard to the MacBook running Lion.
    I used to just move the "Mail" and "Mail Downloads" folders from the Library of one computer to the other. I do this pretty regularly. I understand these folders are hidden in Lion, and I can't figure out how to find them or unhide them.
    Any suggestions on how to do this--or another way to copy all my mail from the older computer to the new one (so that it serves as a back-up) will be appreciated. Thanks!
