Best Method To Organize (move) Messages (many Mailboxes to one)

I'm working on reorganizing my Mail messages from unique Mailboxes for certain topics (or senders) to having my messages in Mailboxes by year. Then use Smart Mailboxes to view what I need.
Before I start moving around a lot of messages, I want to make sure what I'm doing will work and not cause any unforeseen side effects.
Right now, I have many (20 or more) Mailboxes that I use to organize all the mail I get. What I want to do is move all my messages from last year (2013) into one new Mailbox.
Here's the method I thought I'd use:
Create a Smart Mailbox > Date Range > 1/1/2013 to 12/31/2013
That should effectively show me all mail messages received last year.
Create a new Mailbox called Mail 2013
Drag all the messages in the above Smart Mailbox into Mail 2013.
My understanding is that this will move all the messages I received in 2013 (which are currently sitting in many different Mailboxes on my Mac) into the newly created Mail 2013 Mailbox. The Smart Mailbox (with the 2013 date range) will still show all the same messages, since it doesn't matter where the messages are located.
Am I correct?
Is this the best method for doing this? Moving messages from many Mailboxes into a few Mailboxes that contain any and all messages within a specific date range.

Hi;
My first question is your ASM cant be mount to your new box? If answer yes than Just create same path,same hostname&Ip for new server(Unplog your existing server cable) than just open your new server and open db.
You may also go wiht RMAN(Even you go wiht clone process you need to use RMAN due to do usage of ASM)

Can't move messages between mailboxes

When I move messages, they turn gray in the original folder, and then are not moved. Or maybe some of them are, but most are not. Or they are moved, but then moved back. I thought it might be filters, but am pretty sure all relevant ones turned off. The messages and folders are "on my mac" so imap servers are presumably not involved.

Oh, I just did a bit more searching in the forum here, and found this answer. I tried it and it worked for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8994288&#8994288
"Please use Rebuild on the Inbox -- click on Mailbox in the menubar, and choose Rebuild. Be aware that during Rebuild all messages will seem to disappear, but they will come back."
(Thank you to Ernie.)
I have multiple mailboxes -- I had to click on each mailbox individually for Rebuild to work, and I also did the rebuild on one of my archive folders.

Move Message with Attachment from one Mailbox to another problem

Hi,
starting with Exchange 2013 we have following odd thing.
(That happens with Outlook 2010 aswell as Outlook 2013).
My mailbox has several other mailboxes mounted aswell. (using Full Access at ECP Settings), aswell as one separate Exchange Mailbox with own User/Password.
Now, when I have an Email with an attachment (like Word, .jpg, whatever), I used to move it to another mailbox by using "drag & drop".
The mail was moved to the mailbox without noticable changes.
Starting with Exchange 2013, the Mail is changed into Rich Text. That means, the attachment now appears somewhere within the message, instead as real attachment. Some attachments are also lost, and as the message was moved, the only way to recover it is
using our external Email Archive.
Is this a bug, or didn't I see any option that results in this odd behaviour?
Moving to a different folder does work as expected, but not to another mailbox.
Thanks
Patrick

Based on some research we have decided to create a workaround as all mails got converted from HTML to Rich Text when moving from User Mailbox to a PST(Archive).
We have built an add-in for end-users to archive based on the following Outlook-VBA
Option Explicit
Sub MoveToFolder()
Dim objApp As Outlook.Application
Dim strPath As String
Dim objNS As NameSpace
Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olCurrExplorer As Outlook.Explorer
Dim olCurrSelection As Outlook.Selection
Dim olCurrMailItem As MailItem
Dim m As Integer
'pick destination folder
Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objFolder = objNS.PickFolder
'get selected mails
Set objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olCurrExplorer = objApp.ActiveExplorer
Set olCurrSelection = olCurrExplorer.Selection
For m = 1 To olCurrSelection.Count
Set olCurrMailItem = olCurrSelection.item(m)
On Error Resume Next
olCurrMailItem.Move objFolder
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
With olCurrMailItem
' due this week flag
.MarkAsTask olMarkThisWeek
' sets a specific due date
.TaskDueDate = Now + 3
.FlagRequest = "Call "
.Save
.FlagStatus = olFlagComplete
End With
olCurrMailItem.Move objFolder
End If
Next m
End Sub
for us it was important to have the mails still in HTML Formats as some customers are sending embedded images in the mail-body which are removed when the mail where converted to Rich Text.
For people who doesn't care in which format an mail gets archived another workaround is to Flag the Message with an follow up action, then unflag (complete the follow up) and users are able to move the messages but still they would be converted from HTML
to Rich Text.
Strange enough that with a simple VBA move event the message will stay in HTML Format we are happy to found a solution and maybe someone else can use it.

What is best method to archive movies?

Appreciate any advice as to how to best transfer my iMovies off of my MacBook Pro running Mtn Lion, to an external device (thinking of a 1 or 2 GB G Drive) for archive purposes. Once my old VHS home movies are transfered & digital on iMovie, I'll edit a bit in "Project" & finalize them. I want to send both the final Projects & original film (Events?) to an external HD. I'm thinking of getting a 1tb G-Drive mobile as easier to move around BUT if someone feels it's more important to get a desktop G-Drive for video, due to having a fan over the mobile, then I would like to know before I make the purchase. In that case, I will go for 2 or 4 TB. I don't plan on editing from the external HD, I only want to archieve my movies there BUT also want the ability to move them back into iMovie in case I want to share them with someone. I assume that would have to be done via YouTube, which I have already used. Thanks for any tips. Pls note that I'm not computer savvy so no big tech terms; pls treat me like I'm in kindergarten with any replies! Tks! -Lynn

This isn't a Dreamweaver question as much as it is an SEO question.
Web searches reveal results based on content inside semantic HTML; not their URLs. So a link to index.html carries the same approximate weight as a link to http://yourdomain.com.
The main diff is that DW cannot manage absolute links for you. It can only manage links that are document or site root relative.

Seeing Duplicate Messages in Mailboxes only one exists

I retrieve mail from a number of email addresses and have 5 separate mailboxes in addition to the main Inbox. When I look at my Inbox I only see one of each message in each mailbox. But when I look in some of the mailboxes I will see two or three copies of each email contained in the mail box. If I delete one of them, all of them are deleted. BUT... tonight I noticed that only some of the messages were showing duplications. Up until tonight everything was doubled or tripled in the mailbox. The duplicated emails are not grouped together in the box either, they are all over the place, the sorting feature seems not to work on the duplicated emails in that they don't stay with each other.
Not all of the mailboxes are displaying this behavior, two of the four that regularly receive mail do. All of the mailboxes are getting the mail from the same source, just different addresses, so it isn't a gmail issue, since there is in fact only one copy of the email.
This just began happening about a week ago or so. I have changed no settings in Mail and don't recall any software updates. I don't have a clue. Any ideas what is going on? It is pretty annoying to have to wade through 99 emails when there are only 33 there and have it bouncing all over the place.

Edit: When I clicked out to look at the inbox and clicked back in, there were again double of everything in the mailbox... so it was a fluke that there was just one of that particular email. It was because I was in it when that email arrived.

How do you move calendars and mailboxes from one HD to another?

My MB hard drive crashed but I can still access the data on it by connecting it externally through USB. I installed a new HD and am now trying to get some mailboxes to the new HD from the old, crashed HD.
I can see the mailboxes and emails on Home/Users/My User/Library/Mail/Mailboxes, but I wasn't sure if I can drag and drop specific mailboxes onto the new HD.
Any help would be appreciated as I was not able to find anything on the support pages specific enough to help.

Hi Daniel,
To my knowledge, it is not possible.

Best way to convert .mov files to .avi???

Hi, I'm getting kind of desperate here. I've been trying to export .mov files in compressor as .avi files. The video is coming out the same quality and is working fine but the audio is totally out of sync from the beginning, even though the clips are about 30sec long each.
So, whats the best method to converting .mov files to .avi? I also tried using quicktime itself, (using the export menu). The exported material looks choppy though and won't play right. This may be because the footage is HD, 1080p shot on a JVC camera that recorded straight onto a memory card as .mov files.

Okay, I have the files already in .mov as I was saying. So, I'm trying to convert them for my actress' editor (who requested them in AVI) because he uses Adobe Premiere Pro on a Windows Platform. I'm not sure which Premiere Pro version he has, nor do I know which formats it accepts as a result.
You really know how to make things difficult. This adds a whole new set of questions. According to Adobe, if using v3.2.0 or later, there is direct support for XDCAM EX content stored to an SxS card which is not dependent on the "wrapper" (MOV or AVI in this case). So the fist question is what Premier Pro version is she using. Adobe also keeps referring to this content as "Sony XDCAM EX" content which makes me wonder if they are only supporting XDCAM EX content stored on a Sony manufactured camcorder or if the support is generic for any XDCAM EX camcorder manufacturer using the format, which was of course, "developed" by Sony. If the latter, then the next question becomes can the SxS content be be "imaged" for import/capture using Premier Pro's SxS built-in camcorder/card reader routine. If it can be imaged, then, as a non-Windows user, I simply do not know the best method for doing so. If it can't be imaged, would you be willing/able to send her the SxS card itself (or a cloned copy thereof) for her use. On the other hand, if she is using an older version of Premier Pro that does not support native XDCAM EX/Linear PCM editing, you need to ask her what specific compression formats she needs to be wrapped in her requested AVI file container. Until you know more/answer these questions, you cannot proceed further.
I also tried using Mpeg Streamclip to convert the files to a AVI with a divx compression. Some worked, but most of them would get to 85% or 95% then drop off and say "compression error"... (settings were: quality 100%, frame rate 23.97 (what the video is), frame size 1280 x 720, Upper field dominance) ... I thought I put everything there right... SO what is happening is that about 85% of the clip will be there just fine, but then, all of a sudden, the video in the last few seconds will freeze on a frame and audio will be the only thing playing.
Since you did not supply complete specific settings, it is difficult to tell for sure. For instance, if your target video data rate is set too low for the HD content, then at the 85-95% point the application may determine that it is impossible to achieve the target average data rate and stop compressing changes in the video scenes and you end up with either a frozen frame or a black screen. Have had this happen to with other encodes using MPEG-4/AVC. Basically the codec is simply reducing the current instantaneous video rate in an attempt to achieve the targeted "average" data rate by the time the end of the file is reached and the current date rate is simply too low to display more than a black screen or a picture in motion.
Is it usually this difficult to convert formats like this? I thought it would be a quick fix, but it seems I'm running into a bunch of different problems.
No, but then in a normal work for you would already know what format the editor actually wants to use for editing. As I indicated previously, it is unclear at this time whether she wants to edit content in the "native" format in Premier Pro or needs to have you convert the content to a different editing compression format. iMovie '09, for instance would normally use AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)/AIFF (Linear PCM) for editing HD content.

Rules: can Mail move messages if they are 'X days old'? Seems not!

Hi,
I set up a bunch of rules on Mail, to move messages that were sent from certain people and that had been in my Inbox for a certain minimum period of time into special folders so as to automate the cleanup of my Inbox to some degree.
For example, the rule for messages from my work is as follows.
If ALL the following conditions are met:
From Contains (name of company mail server)
Date Received Is Greater Than 3 Days Old
Perform the following actions:
Move Message to mailbox Work
Right, so this works the first time I write it, and never again after that. I would have thought that whilever the rule was active, if Mail ever detected that there were messages from work that had been sent more than 3 days ago, it would automatically move them, but it doesn't. Since setting the rule up months ago it only ever worked the first time I wrote it and it asked if I wanted to apply it.
What am I doing wrong? Or is what I'm asking for not actually possible with the rules?
Cheers,
Owen

Hi Owen
rules are applied 1: when mail is received, 2: (optionally) when the rule is first set up, and 3: if messages are selected & the 'apply rules' menu command chosen.
to apply rules to messages you’ve already received, select the messages in the viewer window and then choose Message > Apply Rules.
A smart mailbox will evaluate constantly, although I appreciate that's not the same thing.

What is the best method of backing up my digital files (catalog) in the Photoshop Elements Organizer

What is the best method or service for backing up my digital files (catalog) in the Organizer from Photoshop Elements 12. Since there no longer is the automatic Elements sync available I do not know what to choose. I have tried to back this up using my external drive, but I cannot find the digital images per se. I see the entire program but not the catalog of pictures. Also, I have a windows operating system and Adobe Revel offers no edit capabilities with this OS.

I'm in a similar situation including movies I've purchased from iTunes...
Here's my setup:
I have all my iTunes data (music, movies, etc.) as well as about 10 GB of photos stored on a nework storage device that uses RAID-5 with SATA disks. This is basically a little toaster-sized NAS machine with four hard drives in it (www.infrant.com). If one of these drives dies, I get alerted and can insert a new one without missing a beat since the data is stored redundantly across all drives. I can also just yank out any one of the four drives while the thing is running and my data is still safe (I tried this after I bought it as a test).
That's how I prevent problems with a single disk... Redundancy
Now onto "backups"...
Nightly, my little RAID toaster automatically backs itself up to an attached 250GB USB drive. However, these backups are only of my critical data... documents, photos and home movies... I don't bother backing up my "Hollywood" movies since I can live without them in a disaster.
... I actually don't permanently store anything I care about on a laptop or a desktop. It all goes on the NAS box (Network Sttached Storage) and then my other computers use it as a network drive. It's attached via Gigbait to my main computer and via wireless to most everything else.
My achilles heel is that I don't store anything outside of my house yet. If I was smart, I'd alternate two USB drives attached to my NAS box and always keep one of them somewhere else (Safe Deposit Box?).
...and that's just one way to do it.

Best method to move "previous system-users" to the new user folder

I was doing an Archive and Install of a current 10.5.8 system because of problems with the "usr" folder showing in the root listing of the hd folders while booted from this same hd. I knew that wasn't a good sign.
Anyway, it failed saying that the previous Users could not be moved into the new OS's User folder and they would be placed in the "Previous System" folder.
I have updated the newly installed OS to the latest Apple updates.
Now I'm wondering what is the best method to get the User folders (with lots of data) from the Previous Users folder into the new Users folder so that all the data is recognized.
Thanks in advance!

Just drag contents of the previous Home folder to their respective locations in the new Home folder.
Do not simply drag the entire Home folder into the new /Users/ folder. Just the content of the old Home folder, i.e., Documents, Downloads, etc. The system may prevent you from replacing some folders, so you will need to move the contents of those folders.
Oh, and see this: How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install.

TS3899 My email on my iPhone won't allow me to trash old messages -- I get "unable to move message" "message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash" I have restored to factory settings, asked AT&T about it (no help).

my iphone won't allow me to trash old email messages -- I get the little window that says "Unable to Move Message -- The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." AT&T can't help me -- no one else has this problem, even though we're all on the same server from my company. I have restored to factory settings, but it didn't help. My email account settings are correct, the same as on my computers, and I can trash old messages on them.
What do I do now?

I have had a similar problem recently and followed advice here. Specifically, I used the brute force approach. As suggested by this site, I strongly urge you to backup your mailbox before trying this fix - just to be on the safe side.

Cannot delete e-mail. I have three e-mail accounts, two of which I can delete e-mails. Whenever trying to delete e-mails in the thirs account, I get the following message "Unable to move message. This message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash".

Cannot delete e-mails. I have three e-mail accounts. Two I have no problem with but I cannot delete e-mails from the third account. Whenever trying to delete, I get a amessage which states "Unable to move message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash."

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

IPhone 4 will not delete 'trash' ... "Unable to Move Message ... The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash"

I cannot empty my 'trash' ... it comes up with ... "Unable to Move Message ... The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash"
I went into Settings > Mail > 'my account' > advanced > deleted mailbox > Trash (On My iPhone) ... it appears to delete a few items only ... I may try to individually delete 30 items and only 4 go ? help please ...

I have the same problem and there is no advanced option. Was this removed in the upgrade to ios 5? I have been chasing a solution to this and the fact I have various duplicate emails appearing in my work account for days now! It seems like I may have to delete my account and re-install. This appears to be a common problem, where is Apple's fix for it?

I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP!
Additional info...I am trying to delete these emails from a Webmail address. the Trash currently has 11 messages and they arent being deleted.

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If you still can't delete them then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.
