Archiving/ Saving sent and received Emails in Mac Mail???

Hello.
I want to switch web hosts, and before doing so I want to save/ archive all of my past sent and received emails.
Is there a way to do so?
I know I can use gmail, not exactly sure how to do so but I bet it's not real hard, but I am wondering if there is a way to actually take all of the emails from my webmail and save them offline? Does Mac Mail do this? Can I save them as files? There are literally thousands of emails, so a way to save them to my local drive would be ideal....
any ideas?

You can create a New Mailbox to correspond with each Inbox and Sent mailbox, and then Copy the messages into those. At that point you can have a copy of each message in both the Inbox/Sent and the On My Mac mailboxes.
However, if your email address will stay exactly the same (is associated with a hosted Domain) then you may be able to merely change the name of the Incoming server in the Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information and continue with the same accounts. This might not be workable because of the inexactness of when you old/new Host swap responsibility. If not, then remove each original account, set each one up again in conformity with info from your new Host, and then move the messages from the the On My Mailboxes you created above, into the corresponding Inbox and Sent of the new accounts.

I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4. I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect. Suggestions?

I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4. I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect. Suggestions?

I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

I can't receive email in Mac Mail but I can send them

I use two email programmes on my Mac Mini - Thunderbird and Mac Mail. I can receive and send emails on Thudnerbird and I can send emails on Mac Mail but I can't receive the. Next to the mailbox is a squiggly line like a wave which I presume is the promblem but I don't know what that problem is.
I don't have this problem on my MacBook Air.
The Mac Mini is using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
Thanks

If an option exists on networksolutions to allow you to log in to your email via your web browser then access your mail via webmail then try deleting the offending message that way.

Inbox not receiving email on mac mail

Hello,
I have a problem with my Mail app on my mac (MBA 2013 running 10.9.1) with one of my two iCloud account, where by one of them inbox is no longer receving any messages and only old messages were showing in the inbox. Account 'A' for is fine syncing mail correctly inbox/sent/junk and all but account 'B' for some reason was not syncing inbox or anyother folder. What I have done is remove the mail account 'B' only through System Preference>iCloud restarted my computer then restarted the computer and checked the mail.
Now all old messages are no longer showing in account 'B' but 'A' is working perfectly fine. On the troubled account junk and send mail are syncing but inbox is not. I have done a repair permission and recevied the following message: "Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired." Although when searching it seems that I can safely ignor this message according to apple but I only bring it up in case there is a connection.
One thing to note I am receiving email on my iPhone with the troubled account it's just that I am not receving any emails on my mac mail.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Well after a few hours it started working again ... I have no explanation for this I just kept my inbox highligted.
At least this maybe a reference or people that go through the same problem to just give it time

GoDaddy Mac Mail IMAP...HUGE delay receiving email in mac mail

issue: (only with godaddy IMAP email accts in Mac Mail)
i can send emails no proplem
the problems is receiving them...there is an enourmous delay-up to 8 hours!
things i have done/figured out:
on the godaddy email client all is good
on my iphone the account works
i set up an account in entourage and the account works
i upgraded to snow leopard
i deleted the accounts and recreated them
here is the rub...i figured out a "work around". if i manually "sync all accounts" in mail and then click on get mail the mail comes in immediatetly or if i delete an email in one of the accounts and then click get mail the mail comes in immediately. but Mac Mail won't retrieve email other wise.
I know that this is a problem others have expereineced but i have not been able to find the solution
i believe that it is an issue with Mac Mail and perhaps the IDLE feature (disabling IDLE does not help that much)
i have spent countless hours on the phone with godaddy and today they told me that the problem is a mac issue and therefore i am on my own.
any ideas???

Okay - I fixed it. Here's what I did.
- Deleted the entire mail folder inside my Preferences folder. ~/Library/<userfolder>
- Kept the files in the trash just in case, but didn't need them
- Rebooted
- Opened the System Preferences
- Selected "Mail, Contacts & Calendars"
- Verified the previous account was gone
- Clicked Create
- Created a new account and then opened Mail
- Voila! Email
Note - if you trash the mail folder inside Preferences, it will delete any local emails. All my email is IMAP and I never store anything locally, so everything syched right back when the account was recreated.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Creating accounts and receiving email from a mail server

Hi,
I'm wanting to create a web application that creates a new email account for a user when they sign-up on my website. My application will process any email that is sent to that email address and extract parts of the email to store in a database.
I think I can use JavaMail to poll the email accounts for new emails which will then be parsed and inserted into my database but I don't know how to programmatically create the email account for each user. I'm looking at using either sendmail or postfix as my mail server and this is on either *nix or os x.
Any advice/pointers to Java APIs would be appreciated. If there's nothing available in Java that can do this kind of thing I'd love to hear about other solutions people know of or think might work :)
Thanks!

Hi there!
Do the following
message.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED,true);
folder.close(true);
store.close();
these 3 statements will delete email from the mail server.
get back to me after u try this.
ciao

help

Wait. It will be in settings>messages>send and receive but it may take a while.
I had the same problem and it took about 20 mimutes for me to be able to check my number. before that it was greyed out so i couldnt check it. Its something to do with the servers being so busy.

Powershell, Exchange 2010 - Sent and Received emails by domain to CSV

I think I almost have what I want but I can't figure out the last bits. Hoping someone can help.
This code does produce the results I want but I would prefer to have EventID send or EventID Receive in one line but can't figure out how to get the syntax correct. The result would then provide the actual total I'm looking for rather than having the
results in 2 files.
Get-MessageTrackingLog -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) -ResultSize Unlimited -EventID receive | Select -Expand Recipients | Group { (($_).Split("{@}"))[1] } |select-object 'Name', 'Count' |export-csv c:\temp\Received.csv
Get-MessageTrackingLog -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) -ResultSize Unlimited -EventID send | Select -Expand Recipients | Group { (($_).Split("{@}"))[1] } |select-object 'Name', 'Count' |export-csv c:\temp\sent.csv
Also, how do you get rid of the quotes "" in the csv file??
Thanks

Did some of the code run off the end of the code box in your message? I tried to add it but I must be missing something somewhere.
Thanks again for your help on this.

Lost archived POP emails in Mac Mail

For 2 years I have received a POP account in my Mac Mail account. Recently we moved and cancelled service with the original POP account...Time Warner Cable. I had hundreds of work-related emails that I would view each time I opened my Mac Mail. Since that POP was cancelled all former email has disappeared. I use my Mac only to get the emails, so importing from a PC isn't an option.
I have changed email several times before but never had it delete what was already in my inbox! Is there somewhere this is archived? I think it must be there somewhere as any email addresses that I used before pop up in the address bar when I start typing.
My Time Warner account was where I primarily sent and received email and I can't believe they are just gone! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Did you delete your RoadRunner account from the Mail application?
This is the only way messages sent and received/downloaded by the Mail application for a POP account will be deleted.
When deleting an email account from the Mail application, a warning message is provided indicating that all account setup information and mailboxes for the account will be deleted as well. You must select OK in this warning message window before the account is deleted along with all mailboxes for the account.
Do you not maintain a backup of all your important data including Mail application data?

Where do I find the code on my Mac to allow iPhone text messages to also be sent and received on iMac?

where I can find the code that is supposed to be shown on my Mac to allow iphone text messages to also be sent and received on iMac?

Hi,
Long Answer.
Enable the iPhone for Messages. Make sure it Verifies and that your can Send from the iPhone Number.
To do that you can Enable the iMessages account in Messages on the Mac using and Apple ID.
The iPhone can then send from the iPhone Number to the Apple ID (Mac).
Then add the Apple ID to the iPhone.
The Mac will then get a pop up saying that the iPhone is using the Apple ID and the iPhone number.
Accept this Pop up to enable the Mac to "sync" the iPhone Number iMessages.
(Sync in this case is only "Display on All Devices").
Now you can enable Text Forwarding on the iPhone.
IF the Apple ID and iPhone Number are already linked this will launch the app if it is Quit and display the Code number you need.
The number then need to be entered back on the iPhone to complete the process.
The Text Forwarding option on the iPhone should then show the device(s) that are linked this way.
