What is the best deal with mail?

I am wondering what is the best way to save or archive mail?  What are other users doing to handle this issue with mail?

I was wondering about this too so I did a little research. Here's what I do and my understanding of how things are backed up:
1. I have three email accounts: an iCloud IMAP account, a work exchange account, and a gmail account, all of which I access via my macs, my iphone, and my iPad.
2. The iCloud account is stored in iCloud, that is, on the iCloud server, wherever that is.
3. My other two accounts are configured to save all my sent messages on the server until I manually delete them.
4. If you look in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced, you can see that there are options for "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing". By default this apparently keeps all your messages cached locally (on your computer). These are in your user Library folder, which is hidden by default.
5. So if you do regular backups, for example with Time Machine, these caches should be backed up automatically if you need them to restore a mailbox.
6. If there is a particularly important email I stick it in the Archive mailbox just so I don't delete it.

  • What is the best way with c or cgi?

    Hi,
    what is the best way with C or CGI(with binary file)
    1. simple data transfer, from C or CGI application(without binary file) to XI for realtime sync?
    2. attached binary file transfer, from C or CGI appliction to XI
    for realtime sync?
    thanks
    venjamin.

    Hi venjamin,
    which adapter do you want to use? What kind of data do you want to send?
    I guess, if you only want to create a sync scenario with a application written in C or CGI, a soap webservice or a call of the http plain adapter would be the best way.
    Regards

  • What are the best alternatives to Mail on a Mac?i

    After all the problem with Maverick and Apple Mail I want to change to a nother mail application.
    Apple Mail keep on jamming my iMac System (yes I installed the so called fix), using up to 2,5 GB of memory, lossing mails or give older mails as a blanc page.

  • What is the best configuration with Mac Book air, time capsule and external hard drive?

    Hi, I just bought a MacBook Air with the new Time Capsule and I was wondering what is the best set up:
    Option 1: use the time capsule as my main drive and back it up onto an external drive plugged at the back of it
    or Option 2: use the external drive as the main drive and use the time capsule as the back up? in that case, would the ext drive need to be plugged to the MacBook Air?
    Many thanks

    Option 2 is far superior.. and actually the only one that works.
    That is without killing yourself or having continual issues accessing your files.
    You do need to plug the external disk into the MBA.

  • What is the best practice with Keychain re: number of keychains?

    I'm not clear on what is the best way for using keychains. I have two that appear to overlap with similar entries (e.g., passwords for various websites and applications). One of the keychains is named login and other is named with my full name (first name and surname). There are two keychains that have blank boxes in front of them as opposed to the lock icon. One of those has the same name as my account name and the other is named X509Certificates.
    Is there a best practice that recommends either consolidating keychains or, if multiple keychains are better, than what type of information should be kept in what keychain? I find that I have to enter passwords for a number of apps when I boot up instead of the passwords being automatically retrieved. I would hope that setting up the keychains correctly will address this problem.

    You don't need to worry about setting it up properly, OSX will do this for you. The only reason I ever use Keychain Access is if I forget a password or want to delete one. Moving files around in keychain access could lead you to some serious problems. If I was you I would just leave the files be and OSX take care of the rest.

  • What is the best practice with Jclient application

    Hi all:
    If we have some oracle Jclient(bc4j+swing) solution application system , how to co-work with Oracle workflow ?
    what is the best solution to integrate these technology ?

    There are a few PDF documents about the Workflow Java API. Try to locate "Oracle Workflow and Java Technical White Paper" for 2.6.2 version.
    However, please note that Workflow PL/SQL API is far richer and more flexible that its JAVA equivalent.
    Also, take into account the different ways workflow engine executes an activity, if the underyling code is written in Java or PL/SQL. If you select the Java API to implement workflow activities, then 2 scripts must be running at all times so that workflows proceed. These are the Java Function Activity Agent and the Workflow Background Engine. Details are included in the above document.
    Our experience has shown that:
    1) Implementation of workflow activities via Java API is slower and more complex than PL/SQL API, because java classes are considered as external prcoedures.
    2) Not all PL/SQL procedures are included in Java API.
    3) For workflows with high throughput, the Java Function Activity Agent becomes a bottleneck.
    Please note that Oracle has announced several months ago the OW4J (Oracle Workflow for Java). Check a beta version at OTN, together with some features and specs. However, a final version is still pending.

  • What is the best deal for iPhone 5s for my 13yr daughter upgrade from blackberry

    I am looking for the best deal for myself and my 13 yr daughter to upgrade . She would like a iPhone 5s and I would like a iPhone 6 , 

    My first thought would be to get you and your daughter a shared EE plan.
    That way you have full control over your daughters plan with the ability to prevent her from buying more data etc. You would both get your own calls and text allowances, but you share just 1 data allowance between your handsets.
    you would get just 1 bill a month as well with a shared EE plan.
    The easiest way to buy shared plans is to either ring EE are call into your nearest EE store.

  • What is the best dock with speakers for a new ipod classic

    I need to purchase a new ipod classic and portiable dock with speakers for my organization.  What would be best for a classroom setting?

    I would say Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign are the industry standard in design. But not the most affordable if your are on a tight budget. Photoshop elements has most of major features as the full version of Photoshop but is much cheaper. You can also download a trail version of the Adobe products from Adobe's website for your son to try out.
    Also, look in the app store on the Featured page, there is a link on the right, "Apps for Designers". There you can find several image editing and vector programs he could try. There might be a few layout programs as well.
    I would say if he is serious about getting into graphic design, Adobe products are the way to go.

  • What is the best program for mail on the Mac?

    I have .Mac and use the default mail. I am diluged by spam that I keep deleting and trying to remove myself from their list. I don't see any way to Bounce messages back. Also, I can't seem to see where i can view my sent messages.
    Any advice?

    jrobb,
    In regard to your sent mail, Saving copies of email you send, and Mac 101: Mail may be helpful.
    Bouncing messages is a waste of time, because it only confirms to the sender that your email address is valid.
    List removal is only useful for trustworthy companies. Any others will once again benefit from the fact that you have confirmed your email address.
    If your primary address has been inundated with Spam, you will probably benefit from creating an alias address for your .Mac email address. These links may be helpful:
    1. .Mac: About email aliases
    2. Creating an alias
    3. Turning an alias on or off

  • What is the best workflow with SVN and Developer Data Modeler.

    I am workin on strategy to fullfill next tasks with Data Modeler:
    * Posibility to work on paralel branches for model
    * Merging changes from different branches
    * Generating upgrade scripts for changes (from one commit till other)
    * Maintaining posiblity to fast build empty database for any version of model
    What are your ideas?
    Do you use some database for thease operations or you do it only using Modeler?
    Does SVN merge works fine with Modeler?
    How you work with versioned Modeler and many versions of different development DBs.

    Hello,
    We work with SVN and DM too, but do not use branches for DM to prevent merges.
    If multiple developers work on the same design, each developer checks out the design. A lock can be used to prevent the update of the same object by multiple developers (if you want).
    If you commit changes in SVN, the other developers get informed on these changes by the 'Pending changes'. They can decide whether or not they include those changes.
    If you synchronize with the other developer changes, you can create alter or create scripts by importing the target database and generate scripts.
    If you want to build a historical version of the model, you check out a version of the design with a specific revision (you can specifiy this during checkout). You build create scripts based for this version.

  • What is the best configuration with logic 7.1.1 and osx 10.4.4?

    I have a dual 2.3 ghz and 1.5 gig ram, i have powercore element, uad -1, waves , pluggo, all NI. motu 828 mk2 with logic 7.1.1. Right now my buffer size is at 256 .
    I am working on a track where cpu is at near 80%, which my dual g4 1ghz handle the same with the same track by the way , i got audio dropped, randomly, i though the buffer size was too low, then i put it at 512, it is 10 x times worst. anyone has an idea??
    thankx in advance!!

    That's not normally a solution when you're running out of CPU power, but it's certainly worth trying.

  • What is the best scanner with an ADF for importing all my old color prints?

    Have just completed the gargantuan task of scanning all my old slides using a Nikon Coolscan 5000 with bulk slide feeder - great scanner.
    Was going to use the machine to bring in my old negs, but it will take far too long. Have decided to try and do the job using a good flat bed scanner with an Automatic Document Feeder. i.e. load about 30 to 50 4x6's etc. and walk away. Come back and all the jpegs are neatly saved in a folder.
    Am I dreaming? There has to be a product out there. HP have a 5890 but apparently it has bad reviews.
    Anyone here with the experience. I cannot be re-inventing the wheel - this must be something that we all want to do at one time or another before we die!
    All input (no pun intended) appreciated

    HI cuencaky,
    Here is a link to a page with an example of good 4 X 6 photo paper you can use with your printer. 
    This type of paper is known to work very well.
    If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
    If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

  • What is the best way to get/change data in R/3 from external interface?

    Hi SAP gurus,
    I have a problem to know what is the best technology to access and maintenance all SAP functionality and data too in R/3 systems.
    Anyone know if connectors (.NET or JCO) are the only solution to manipulate all SAP system data or exist other way?
    One thing more, what is the best connector, with more functionality?
    E.g. The screen painter was made in C++ and is executed by user event in R/3 system, so would like to know if it's exist any way to do the same but replace the screen painter to another custom application?
    Regards

    Hello Vitor
    Not all functions and data are externally accessible. Only those business objects (e.g. like sales order, customer, material) for which BAPIs are available (transaction BAPI ) can be accessed via RFC.

  • What is the best Car Charger that will allow you to play ipod thru radio

    I have noticed with the charger that I have there is alot of static/interference. What is the best charger with the least amount of distortion. thanks

    The better ones are the ones that connect via the cassette deck. I don't have one in my car so I use the iTrip.
    I've noticed more interference with mine using the default radio station so I need to find another one. However, I have the first iTrip which is more of a PITA to retune it.)
