How to use "On My Mac" folders for gmail messages on two MacBooks

I am currently using a MacBook and a MacBook Air simultaneously and would like to shift email messages from my gmail account to "on my mac" folders on both computers because I receive message of the same topic from different email accounts. However, as soon as I move a gmail message from my IMAP account to an "on my mac" folder it will be removed from the server and it will not download on my other Mac.
The only solution I found is switching the gmail IMAP account to a POP account and tell the server to keep all messages so I can download them on both Macs and move them into an "on my mac" folder. But Mail 4.3 will not allow me to create a gmail POP account, it automatically assumes I want to create an IMAP account as I tap the "+" button in setting->accounts and enter my details.
How do I tell Mail 4.3 that I want to create a gmail POP account and not an IMAP account?
Is there maybe another solution to my problem other than changing to a POP account?
Thanks a lot for your support!

Hello tjlj
Try just exporting out the mailboxes from the old computer, putting them on a flash drive and then importing them in using the import feature in Mail. If you are not using Lion, the steps to export are still the same.

    Yes, you can use it for Mac computer > Mac computer or iDevice > iDevice. It's because they have different operating systems.

  • What's the difference in Apple Mail using "On My Mac" folders vs Export Mailbox?

    What's the difference in Apple Mail using "On My Mac" folders vs Export Mailbox?

    One (On My Mac) is a set of folders, the other is a way to export a mailbox for archiving or transfer to another machine.
    What do you want to do, these are not even similar.

  • How do I format Mac mail for gmail

    How do I format Mac mail for gmail?

    You really have no way of controlling how the email will look on someone else's computer. I find, with email, the simpler the better. Block paragraphs (no indent on the first line) and an extra line between paragraphs.
    If you want formatting control, I'd recommend using a word processor, printing to PDF and sending that.
    Best of luck.

  • How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

    Hello,
    I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
    "Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
    where 'ABC' is the query name.
    Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
    A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded.  In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents.  Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size.  Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path.  It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

  • How to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    My flex project works fine using the below but when I upload my flash file to the server I doesn't work, all the relative paths and files are the same execpt the remote one is a linux server.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <services-config>
        <services>
            <service id="amfphp-flashremoting-service"
                class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"
                messageTypes="flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage">
                <destination id="amfphp">
                    <channels>
                        <channel ref="my-amfphp"/>
                    </channels>
                    <properties>
                        <source>*</source>

        <channels>
        <channel-definition id="my-amfphp" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
            <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
        </channel-definition>
        </channels>
    </services-config>
    I think the problem  is the line
            <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
    but I'm not sure how to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    You are confusing "served from a web-server" with "compiled on a web-server". Served from a web-server means you are downloading a file from the web-server, it does not necessarily mean that the files has been generated / compiled on the server.
    The server.name and server.port tokens are replaced at runtime (ie. on the client when the swf has been downloaded and is running) not compile time (ie. while mxmlc / ant / wet-tier compiler is running). You do not need to compile on the server to take advantage of this.
    Hi Paul,
    In Flex, there is feature that lets developer to put all service-config.xml file configuration information into swf file. with
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    IF
    services-config.xml
    have tokens in it and user have not specified additional
    -context-root
    and this swf file is not served from web-app-server (like tomcat for example) than it will not work,
    Flash player have no possible way to replace token values of service-config.xml file durring runtime if that service-config.xml file have been baked into swf file during compilation,
    for example during development you can launch your swf file from your browser with file// protocol and still be able to access blazeDS services if
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    have been specified durring compilation.
    I dont know any better way to exmplain this, but in summary there is two places that you can tell swf  about service confogiration,
    1) pass -services=path/to/services-config.xml  parameter to compiler this way you tell swf file up front about all that good stuff,
    or 2) you put that file on the webserver( in this case, yes you should have replacement tokens in that file) and they will be repaced at runtime .

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.

    This is the most elegant email client I have seen but there is precious little help available and what is, is obvious and could be lerned by try and fail.  It can't be found but there must be a way to create more folders for saving messages received and sent.
