Archive Folder?

Since moving to iCloud from MobileMe I've seen the "archive" folder. Thus far I have ignored it and continued to use the folder I had created for read mail for the past several years. I'm wondering if I should just stop using that and move all my saved emails to the archive but I don't know what's special about the archive folder. I've searched online and have not been able to find much info about it. I don't want to stop deleting email so I don't want to switch the button on my phone.
Are there special rules around this button?
Can I just take the 6 years of email I've saved to my old folder and move it all into this special archive? My existing folder is already in iCloud so it's not like I'd be uploading thousands of emails.
Is the archive "forever"?

The archive folder is simply for archived mail, it is exactly the same as the system you have been using, but Apple have provided you with a folder to do this in.
I archive my mail, in the same way that you do, I have chosen not to use the archive folder.

In Thunderbird while trying to move conversation results to an archive folder; if some of the results are already in the folder it will not move any.

Hi. I often use the conversation search option when archiving my emails from inbox. I find this a very useful method of finding trails where I and multiple people have responded to each other. However If I have already moved one or more of these emails into the archive folder and select all to move, Thunderbird will not move any. I then need to individually select those that need to be moved.
Although not a major issue I use this regularly and often come across the problem. a recent fix which allows location tab to remain on in search helps but does not resolve this issue. A slightly annoying problem and I was wondering if any one else has this issue. Also is anyone looking into a solution?

FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

Why is my new mail going to an "Inbox" folder in the Archive folder?

I've discovered that my new mail is now longer going to the regular Inbox. It's now landing in a new "Inbox" folder in the Archive folder. Why? How can I reset this back to the regular new mail inbox?
I tried renaming the folder in the directory but mail still is defaulting there. I've check to make sure I don't have a filter to do this, no filter for this account.

Use C:\YourWebSite (where C: is your hard drive).

Why is new mail going to my archived folder?

Upgraded to 10.9.2 and now all mail is not being sent to my inbox, but to my archived folder. How do you fix this?

What email program are you using?

Incoming mail going to archive folder instead of inbox

after registering my macbook pro 2.4ghz core 2 duo running mavericks 10.9.1 for the app "messages", i've noticed emails addressed to my .mac account no longer go to my inbox on this computer, they land in the "archive" folder.
any idea what happened and how i can fix this?
thanks in advance.

Your slow computer could be caused by a number of problems such as memory, hardware, or software issues. It isn't related to the problem you had with Mail.
First, I suggest you open Disk Utility and repair permissions on your boot volume. Then verify if the hard drive is OK, or does it show problems.
Restart the computer and see if you still have problems.
If so, I would just advise you to post a new discussion describing this problem so others with better knowledge could help you to figure out the problem.
Search google or these discussions on Slow Computer with Yosemite. There are many discussions on this already. You might also look into downloading EtreCheck and providing that information in your post. It will gather information from your computer to allow others to look and analyze what you have that could be causing issues.

Who is the email account provider?
With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

How to avoid messages going automatically to the archive folder in Apple Mail?

Dear list members, I've been using Apple Mail (version 7.3 (1878.6)) on my MacBook Pro 13" (9,2) (MacOS 10.9.4) for years to integrate my GMail, university, and other e-mail accounts in the imap mode. Since some weeks, Mail is behaving odd: some messages are sent automatically to the archive folder. That's quite annoying, as I have to move them manually back to the inbox folder, and sometimes I mess some messages. I did not change any config in Apple Mail or my e-mails servers. Could you please help me solve this problem? Thanks.

The Archive folder in Apple Mail is linked to the All Mail "label" in Gmail. A label is treated like an IMAP folder, but it really isn't the same thing.
In case you weren't aware, Gmail saves every email you send or receive inside the All Mail label. In Gmail, you can tag a file with multiple labels. So, a file that comes into Gmail appears in two places at once, the Inbox and All Mail. When you trash a file, the Inbox label is removed, but it still remains in All Mail.
Previously, the All Mail label was hidden from you in Mail. Apple has been trying to make Mail work with Gmail, but that hasn't been going well.
I have never had a problem, but I have both Gmail and Apple Mail set up such that any email I trash actually gets deleted and not stored on the Gmail server. I also have it set to no display the All Mail folder at all. This may not be a fix as others have similar setups, but have problems with Gmail.
This is how I set it up. I followed the original article, not the Part Deux article. However, you don't need to change the IMAP path prefixes or the label names in Gmail settings. I just have the part where I configured it to delete the emails when I trash them, and hid all the Labels I didn't care to see in IMAP.
Remember, this may not resolve your problems. I don't know of another "fix."

Cannot delete mail from Archive Folder

I am in the porcess of tryign Mail again, and i must admitt it is a bit of a challenge.
The following problem for example seems so simple but i cannot get it to work.
I have a very large Archive folder that was created i believe from the archive folder from the icloud mail.
I have decided to caopy the Archive folder that Mail created on a seperate hard drive, to increase available storage on my system disk.
Now i want to delete the messages in the Archive folder, but when i select all the messages and then select Delete the messages are cleared from the Archive folder and all seems fine, however within minutes they are back in the Archive folder, what am i doing wrong?
thx
John

Well Kelley, that photo did not come with the system so it had to come from you or someone else putting in the Shared folder.
Choose the file and "get info" (command- i) turn the dislclosure triangle on "Ownership & Permissions" make sure you can "read & write" and make yourself the "owner"(open the lock and enter your admin password).
Then check under General, turn the disclosure triangle and be sure the "locked" box in NOT checked.
Let us know.

XML file not getting transferred to archive folder once upload is done!!

Hi all,
I am working on a scenario where SAP R/3 sends data to SAP MDM 5.5 (SP04 PATCH 2) with XI as middleware.The XML file sent by XI is getting uploaded from the FTP folder using Manual Import (Import Manager).
But after importing for the first time, the XML file does not go automatically to the
Archive folder.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ravi Verma

Hi Ravi,
it's possible that this was a bug in SP4 Patch 2. I know that it worked with Patch 3 because this was the first time I used this feature. Is it possible for you to upgrade to the latest SP4 Patch?
Fact is that this should work with IM automatically. But I'm afraid that, if you report this in a OSS ticket, you'll get exactly the same reply as I've given to you above...
Kind regards
Michael

How can I send all emails in archive folder to someone else?

I have a friend who wishes to see all the emails from a business account (info@) that we were both involved in and which I have been administering for a few years. I have therefore selected the info account, selected all messages and used archive and it has created 2 new subfolders called 2013 and 2014 under an archived folder. No problem with that at all so far.
The problem I have *NOW* is how do I now send these to my friend? I thought they would have been archived as a file which I could have attached to another email but no. I thought there would be an option to save these now as a file of some kind perhaps on my hard drive or within Thunderbird that I could have attached to an email but once again no, there doesn't seem to be that option anywhere.
SO my question is, how can I proceed from here. Yes I *COULD* select each message individually and forward them but that would be ridiculous. He is using SeaMonkey which as you probably all know uses Thunderbird for the email client so there's no problem with compatability.
Am I making sense to anyone? Please can you point me in the right direction/give me an answer and solution to this and then I can get on and sort this out and move onto something else. :)
Thanks, Nick

Ok I've sussed it out on my own. In case anyone else is having the same problem, go to the archive folder you created (and can probably do it exactly the same from the inbox) select ALL messages (or just the ones you wish to forward) then either right click and select or select from the forward menu option at the top "Forward as attachments". Check the title/subject of your email and change as applicable as it seems to use the subject from the first email you select before choosing select all, and insert the email recipient you're forwarding the emails too. BINGO or Hey Presto or Abracadabra or whatever word you like for "Yessssssssssssss!" lol
And that's all the lady wrote. :) Hope it helps.

Archive folder missing from Mail & search not working

I've been having trouble getting the Archive mailbox to appear in Mail. What's worse, often the search function is broken, and Mail doesn't turn up any search results. I've found some ways to get the Archive folder to reappear, but these only seem to help temporarily. For instance, clicking on the gear at the bottom left and selecting "Get Account Info" then selecting the Archive folder causes it to reappear, but this is only temporary and it disappears after another restart or sometimes after an hour or two. The search not working is the worst, as it sometimes is working and sometimes isn't. I don't have any idea what's causing this, but I am at my wit's end because I NEED Mail to be firing on all cylinders.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
What are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for this Gmail account, if using IMAP, regarding keeping message for Offline use? The Mail search can only access the list of messages to search Subject, From, etc, but not the entire message unless copies of all messages are being kept on the computer. This would be true for any IMAP account, btw.
More info, please.

How do I add a folder to my Archive folder in Mail?

On previous versions of Mail (on my Mac, NOT on my iPhone), I was able to move whole folders into Archive, but I can't seem to do that anymore. When I move a folder over the Archive folder, nothing happens.
After looking around, it looks like I can only move single messages or groups of messages into the Archive folder, but that can't be right, can it?
I want to keep my archived emails sorted by the folders they exist in already... can someone please help me do that?

The only way you can now add additional folders to the 'Archive' folder/mailbox is to create the new folders using the specific mail application.
If you have Apple Mail pointing to a Gmail account, you will need to access Gmail web interface and create the folder there. Likewise for Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.
Not sure if this will work for Apple Cloud mail accounts.
I have a @sky.com account and accessed the Sky webmail interface, created the new folders (Archive/*****) and reopned Apple Mail and there they were under the Archive folder :-)

Adding timestamp to Archive folder name

Hi All,
I need to add the current date to the archive folder name of my file sender adapter, so that files are archived in folders based on the date on which they are picked.
Can this be achieved?
Regards,
Diptee

Diptee,
I am not sure if there is any easy way of passing filename directly to script which is called from OS.
The other work around i can see here is...have a temp archive folder where your sender communication channel will archive the file adding tmpstmp in temp archive folder and then call a script and read the file name in the temp archive directory and make new archive directory with the archived file name and move the file from temp to new archive directory.
In this way you can have your files archived in the directories which tmpstmp too.
you just need to use simple commands to read the filename and creating directory and moving the file...
Thanks,
Prasanthi.

File Sender Adapter - File overwritting in the Archiving folder

Hello Experts,
I am doing File sender to proxy Receiver Async Scenario.
In File Sender adapter, i am using the Archiving option by spacifying the
Archiving path.
Files are picked up and archiving happen successfully.
Problem is: - once the File is picked up and archivied into the Archiving location
If end user again rectifies some data in the same file and place it in the source directory
then i am getting the following error in RWB Commu. channel monitoring.
Failed to archive file 'File1.TXT' as '/Input File location/File1.TXT' after processing. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 File not renamed. File already exists. You may delete the existing file and then rename.u2019 For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
I know this is because of File sender adapter is trying to archive the file with the same name(File1.txt) in the archiving location.
My Question: - Is there any option to allow the File sender Adapter for overwritting the
File in the archiving location.
Thanks & Regards
Jagesh

check if there is proper rights to over write files in the archive folder.
The problem seems to be that the rights/authorization is not there. Else the adapter usually overwrites files in the archive folder unless you use the timestamp option.
Archive
Files that have been successfully processed are moved to an archive directory.
u25A0       To add a time stamp to a file name, select the Add Time Stamp indicator.
The time stamp has the format yyyMMdd-hhMMss-SSS. The time stamp ensures that the archived files are not overwritten and it enables you to sort them according to the time that they were received.
u25A0       Under Archive Directory, enter the name of the archive directory.
u25A0       If you want to archive the files on the FTP server, set the Archive Files on FTP Server indicator. If you do not set the indicator, the files are archived in the Adapter Engine file system.

Sender file adapter, file existence check in archive folder if exists rename the same and proceed with current file

Dear SAP Gurus
Interface flow:
File --> File and RFC.
We have a requirment where PI needs to check the file existency in archive folder and if there is a file already exists with same name we need to rename that file and archive the current file as is...
Note* Customer don't want to add time stamp!!!!
For ex today first message processed with file name "UBMO_delta20140626.xml" and archived as is- UBMO_delta20140626.xml
and customer sends a second file on the same day with same name(UBMO_delta20140626.xml) in this case before archiving PI needs to check whether there is a file exists already in archive folder or not if there is, then it should rename the same like(UBMO_delta20140626_1.xml) and proceed with current message processing and archive the same name(UBMO_delta20140626.xml).
Many Thanks in advance...
Nagesh

Hi Nagesh,
I think you can use the feature of run operating system command before message processing. you can refer the below wiki for information.
