Archiving MAIL + Attachments to a CD and be able to read later

Hello and I'm new to this forum, so excuse my ignorance. All I want to do is burn a bunch of old emails onto a CD for archiving and to make more room on my new computer. Some have attachments. I want to be able to load that CD and at a later date open it to find an old email by its original name, if I want to. So, I went to the Apple Store and all the brains there said it could not be done. They looked in books and asked a lot of bearded and other genious-types. This is weird, because how do I get all of those emails safely archived and be useful!!? If I just copy them onto a CD they show up as numbers and not their original subject lines...thus there is no way I would ever be able to find what I am looking for later. I'll bet one of you out there can help me figure this out and maybe tell the Apple folks how to do it, if you want. Please make it step by step, as I'm not a techno whiz...yet. Thank you!
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   I have lots of RAM!

Would love to know how you did it. Please share with others.
I have been thinking about the same but have not done enought resurch on it yet.
Thanks,

  • Send 102 bit data through the LPT port??I have to send 102 bit to my interface board using the LPT port, through one of the data line and be able to read data from the input line, I don't know how to realize such a task.Thanks

    Let me describe you the program I have to write:
    I have to send 102 bit serialy using one of the data line of the LPT port to a device and be able to read back data sent from a device register throug one one of the input port pin for instance pin 10 of a DB25, and synchronize the transmission by the PC clock(for write and read). If fact I am using 5 output control(D0...D4) signal from the LPT port, RST, TXD, CLK, CE,TEST, one input data RXD (pin10)
    So the program should work in normal mode (write data, read data), and test mode (use the write p
    rocedure). Since I am quite new in Labview I am little lost and I need some support or exemple that use a way to send more than 32 bit via one data line(in my case 102bit= 8 bit COMMAD(MSB)+88 bit SPI DATA+6 bits CRC(LSB)) and be able to read them back, place them in the register and be able either to monitor or modify them.
    I know that there are plenty of exemple but if I can gain time by being helped it would be great.
    Can you please advise?

    Hi Beni,
    find attached a SPI.vi - minor changed from one of
    my typical SPI's (LabVIEW 7.1). With some simple changes it will fit to your application.
    The only thing you need to do - prepare
    the bits for the input-array.
    If you need some more comments - find one of my email
    adresses in documentation of this vi.
    Regards
    Werner

  • How to keep mail attachments synced across iPhone and Mac?

    Hardware: iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1, MacBook Pro 10.7.2.
    Software: Mail
    Services: Yahoo mail
    Issue: If I view an email on my phone without opening the attachment, the same email then appears on my Mac but without the attachment. The attachment is still present if I log on to Yahoo webmail.
    This issue is causing me a lot of hassle and I risk missing important work related attachments when these are not flagged in the email message.
    Is there a fix?

    Hi there,
    I have the similar problem and I was hoping that a solution has been derived by now.
    Actually, already using iPhone, recently switched from PC to iMac and have a small issue with Mail that whenever I open any emails on my iPhone it marks the same email on iMac as "Read" and vice versa.
    I need to keep emails on both devices as "UNREAD" until I open the email on that particular device. I do not want to automatically mark (sync) the email on iMac which I open on iPhone and vice versa.
    Any help appreciated!
    Cheers!

  • Archived Mail Boxes: what gets saved

    I'm archiving the family's mailboxes to protect against hard drive disasters, and I've noticed that the more recent archives are smaller than some of the older ones. I usually perform each archive into a unique, dated folder. Am I better archiving the mailboxes into the same folder, so they'll be restored in their entirety should the need arise?

    Hey Rob, I'd like to tag on to your post and add a question (hope you don't mind)... Does the archive command in mail also archive the attachments associated with each and every email?, pics etc...?
    Thanks,

  • Sending Mail attachments to windows users

    When sending Mail attachments (Jpegs) to windows PCs they arrive embedded in the message body, not as an attachment that can be saved.  Can I, or the recipient, do anything to rectify this?

    From Mail Help:
    If Windows users have trouble with your attachments
    Windows users might not be able to read attachments you send, the messages they’re attached to, or both; or they might see two files when you’ve sent only one.
    Try these solutions:
    Choose Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments.
    Choose Edit > Attachments > “Always Insert Attachments at End of Message” to automatically have attachments inserted at the end of a message. Otherwise, some Windows recipients might not easily see all of your message because parts of it are put into attachments, which they have to open to read.
    Use filename extensions, such as .doc for a Microsoft Word document, in the names of files you send to Windows recipients. This way, the files can be read by a Windows application.
    If you send a file (for example, “MyFile”) to someone who uses a Windows computer, the recipient might see two files: “MyFile” and “._MyFile.” The recipient can ignore the file named “._MyFile.”
    If you have a New Message window open, the Edit > Attachments commands don’t contain “Always” and they apply only to the message you’re currently composing.
    If you haven’t set the default, click Attach in the toolbar of the New Message window and select the Send Windows Friendly Attachments checkbox.

  • How to access Mail-Attachments in XI 3.0?

    Hello everyone,
    We have a scenario, where a Mail with attached Files (text, pdf) is sent to the XI. I would like to write a module which accesses the Mail-Attachments, retrieves their content and appends the Base64-encoded content to the payload. I've tried several things, took inspiration from existing Module-Beans, but i never really came to the point that i have the attachment-name and content to do the Encoding.
    Could anyone give me a hint what is a proper way to achieve this?
    Or is there probably a more elegant method to access Mail attachments within XI (3.0)?
    Thank you,
    Magnus

    This is an example for getting the file name of the attachment:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
    To read the attachment, you just use replace getDocument by getAttachment or getAttchmentIterator
    https://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/SP3/xpi/com/sap/engine/interfaces/messaging/api/Message.html
    Check the source of the sample module to see how it works.

  • How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?

    How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?
    Background:
    I am using Mountain Lion and Mail App and running out of space on my small primary SSD drive (where I keep OS, apps, key user preferences/data and mail for speed). The mail data is the big variable (many GBs) and I want to "archive"/move some of the old mail to my 2nd drive inside the Mac. But I still want it searchable inside spotlight and preferably even inside Mail too. And I'd like to be able to still drag and drop old mails into this archive folder.
    What I've tried that seems to work:
    This seemed to work:
    1. Move the archive folder/mailbox to the 2nd drive/partition/folder (don't delete anything inside Mail App)
    2. Create a symbolic link from its new location to the original/old location
    This seems to work, it looks as "normal" and as if nothing happened inside Mail App but the folder now resides elsewhere and seems searchable etc. But I'm not sure that once caches refresh or over time with updates etc if stuff will break horribly or corrupt.
    Is that the right way to "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight and visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Daniel

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

  • I receive e-mail attachments " win mail.dat" from iPhones and iPads.All I can find is that Outlook users send these e-mails. I found "letter opener" and it helps but I'd rather receive jpeg in stead from my Apple friends

    Last week I suddenly started receiving all e-mails with photo attachments from other iPad and iPhone users (on my iMac, iPhone as well as iPad!)  as " winmail.dat" files. It says everywhere that that is caused by Outlook users sending RTF e-mails. Obviousely that is not the case here. I found an app to open the attachments, but of course that is no real solution. I asked Android and MS Outlook users to send me e-mails with JPEG attachments and the arrive aas they should.
    Does anyone know the answer to this?

    By the way, some non-delivery receipts (NDRs) are themselves spam messages with malicious attachments designed to infect your computer, so be cautious about opening any of those.

  • PO smart form e-mail attachments - both PO and PO line item attachments

    Hi,
    Our release is ECC5.0. By configuration the PO smartform can be e-mailed to vendor as PDF attachment by standard output medium,external send. And this already works. However, the additional functionality required is:
    1.) The documents attached to the actual PO line items should also be e-mailed as attachments to the vendor.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Do I need to write addition logic in my print program to retrieve these attachments by PO number and send them as a seperate e-mail with attachment? OR
    Is there any way to send these attachments on the same e-mail where the PO is sent as a PDF attachment. OR
    Can this be done by configuration?
    Regards,
    K..

    Hi Ravi
    You can send the Smart form as an attachment to an e-mail using the Function module:<b>SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1</b>
    For your complete reference, please see the code posted in the following link:

  • Mail archival and status of the archived mail

    I use IMAP to talk to microsoft exchange server. When the server complained that the mailbox was full, I decided to archive the mail and delete it from server. Then I imported the archived mail. But to my surprise ALL of my mails in that archive are showing up as "unread". I had about 100 or so unread emails when they were in the server, but I have now lost the knowledge of which ones, because everything is showing up as unread.
    Am I doing some thing wrong in the archival process? Why isn't Mail.app preserving the [un]read status of the mails during archival process?
    Thanks
    Siva

    this is the default behavior. Mail archives messages in mbox format that is used by many mail clients. this is just a plain text file containing the raw source of the messages. read status is not contained in that file. hence when mail imports an archive like this it has to treat all messages as new.
