Coloring messages in mailboxes with Rules.

I am struggling to get all my mail rules to work again after some reorganizing.
For instance, this is not working if I select already sorted mailboxes, and do "Apply Rules". Also on my IMAP-mailboxes on my @me.com account.
Thankul also for manuals tips on the 'net for Mailbox sorting strategies, and ideas in general.
I decided to color code message classes, in a few rules att the start. Since Smart mailboxes may not work with IMAP?! Or? (On iCloud.)
I think Apple has provided a generous toolbox of possiblities to sort your mail. But I have mail since my old job, in the middle of the nineties. So I would get to much to do if I start making stupid mistakes. As I did the other day, got one IMAP mailbox looping messages for a while.
I do not try programming in general these days, although I remember the old stuff from twenty-thirty years ago, I tend to miss simple things now. (Retired.)
I would mostly like to know also if there are any bugs in Mail Rules in Mac OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion?
Thanks!

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.

IMAP-Mail sender adapter handling with read messages in mailbox

Hi,
(PI 7.0)
we have a "funny" situation:
We are using imap-mail-sender adapter polling a mailbox.
Sometimes there are read messages in mailbox so the adapter cannot read these messages.
When we sort all read messages and we mark e.g. the second message in list as not read, the adapter polls fetch the first (already read) message and afterwards the not-read message and afterwards no other message is read.
I think this behaviour is wrong because pi should not handle an already read meassage.
Does anybody know this problem?
Or is it a problem of the mail-server (Exchange 2003)?
Thanx and regards
Wolfgang

Hi,
thanx for your answer.
The default behaviour of imap is "only fetching unread message" (s. FAQ of mail adapter)...
The mail sender channel with IMAP4 fetches only the unread messages from the specified mail box in the order they are stored. Therefore, please make sure that you have some unread messages in the top of the list (if ordered by most recent on top). After a polling cycle, you can look at the status of this channel at the adapter's monitor. This should show any error if the messages are not processed correctly. Once the messages are read but not processed correctly, they remain in the mail box but are not read in the subsequent polling cycle. You must correct the problem and delete these messages using your mail client program or reset them as unread so that they can be resend.
In our example the adapter fetchs read messages too (till the first unread one) - and this is wrong (i think so!?).
But I dont know if its a MS-Exchange problem.
Regards
Wolfgang

When I send messages off-line, they enter in the addressed mailbox with the date and hour which I've clicked "Send later". How could I set up to the real time?

When I send messages off-line, they enter in the addressed mailbox with the date and hour which I've clicked “Send later”. How could I set up to the real time?

What you say about Send Later timestamp is correct.
When you click Send or Send Later a time is set regardless of when you actually sent the Send Later email.

The port range is overlapped with rule X message - SRP521W

Hello,
I am having trouble adding a NAT port forwarding rule on my SRP521W. I get the error
The port range is overlapped with rule X, even though my port ranges are not overlapping.
I have this rule created (rule 2):
and am trying to create this rule:
I get this error
It seems to be related to the fact that both internal ports are 80, but this should not matter as the internal IP addresses are different. Can someone please explain how I should create rules to allow me to open ports to two different devices, with different IPs, using port 80?
Many thanks

Oh wow! That is an extremely old release.
I would certainly recommend upgrading straight away.
Latest release is 1.1.27 and is available via www.cisco.com/go/srp500 - follow the download software link on the right hand side.
When selecting code, follow the link for SRP520 Models (not SRP520-U)
You should find that the latest code fixes your issue (and provides more functionality).

Automatic Filing With Rules - Long

This is a long post, sorry, but I think the details might be worthwhile for someone who might be like me and wants to automate their mail processing as much as possible. I do have a question below about how I might better configure some rules, and about whether I might be able to streamline my workflow.
I spent all day yesterday and most of the day today reorganizing my mailboxes, rules, smart mailboxes, etc., to clean up all my mail. I have messages dating back to 1999, and since I basically just color coded everything with rules, rather than filing messages in mailboxes, my inbox and sent messages were starting to approach the 2GB limit. Some of the earlier messages came straight from Claris Emailer (talk about old school), and then through all versions of OS X Mail from 10.0 to the current 10.4.9. It's easy enough to move stuff from my inbox into a new mailbox, but not quite as much so for sent messages. It made searching more difficult, and it is still a manual process.
Because I have so many messages (about 10,000 in total), I didn't want to have to manually go through everything to move them into separate organized mailboxes. So I created a whole new set of rules to make the filing as automatic as possible, and to keep it relatively automatic in the future. Of course rules can't catch everything, but doing as much as possible automatically, then letting me sort through what's left is certainly preferable. Unfortunately, it's taken so long to figure out because of Mail's completely inadequate rules for filtering and smart mailboxes. I poured through this forum looking for solutions to the various roadblocks I hit along the way, and I thank all of you who are very knowledgeable and have posted helpful replies to other people asking questions. Below is the best solution I've been able to come up with, and I'm certainly open to any suggestions to make the rules less risky and streamlined. I realize that AppleScript could probably make a lot of these things easier, or some of the shareware programs out there, but while I consider myself a very adept power user, I can't write scripts, and I prefer to keep add-ons to a minimum.
The first change to my account settings and such was to enable the "Automatically CC myself" option. This is the only viable way I can find to process my sent messages without having to manually apply rules after the fact. I am aware of Andreas Amann's "Filter Sent Messages" AppleScript. I tried it out, but it was constantly choking on all my sent messages. I suppose it would work ok now that I have my sent mailboxes cleaned out, but I think I prefer the CC option because it assures that I have copies of all my sent messages at both my home and work computers. I also installed MailEnhancer to make sure that Mail's dock badge counts all unread messages in any mailbox, not just the Inbox. Now the fun stuff begins.
First of all, I want to state that since my goal here is to stay away from the mailbox size limit (and also to speed up day-to-day use of Mail), smart mailboxes aren't really an option. I need my messages sorted to "real" mailboxes for their long-term storage. Also, simply dumping mail into yearly archives can be a big hassle too, because I have several projects/mailboxes/whatever that may not have a ton of messages and shouldn't really be split up arbitrarily by year. Thus, the main focus here is on rules. I have two primary e-mail accounts, home and work, that I check regularly from both locations. I have my home mail broken down into categories like bicycling notices, family, apartment landlord, photography side business, and streetcar/railroad website. I also set up mailboxes for miscellaneous stuff that doesn't fit into those categories. For work, I have several mailboxes for project specific correspondence, office-wide e-mails and announcements, office computers, our website, and again miscellaneous.
Here's the other big paradigm shift. All these mailboxes contain both sent and received mail. This is especially valuable for the project work, because you can quickly look at the list of messages and follow the back-and-forth conversation. I originally started out having "sent" and "received" mailboxes for each project and other category that I've already listed, but when they're open it triples the size of the directory tree. Since there doesn't appear to be any way to make a mailbox/folder display all the messages contained inside its subfolders, I don't see much point in making a whole bunch of subfolders for that since I'd constantly have to open and close folders to get at anything. Also, with a more flat structure, I can quickly and easily see what unread messages are for what projects, and that also tells me if the rules are working well.
So how do I differentiate sent versus received easily? The first rules I set up are to color the background of all messages that come into my home account. This would apply to all messages that come in to that account, whether it's one of my sent message CC's or not. The next rule catches the sent messages by looking to see if the account and the from address match. In that case it colors the message subject text, marks the message as read, and also flags it. Flagging is necessary to create smart mailboxes down the line that can differentiate between sent and received messages, since there's no facility for using the color of a message as a condition in a rule or smart mailbox. These two rules are repeated with different colors for my work account.
Since none of the rules have moved any messages yet, further rules are free to process them. Basically I have one rule for each mailbox with various amounts of "any" criteria. For most situations it's pretty straightforward, but I have run into some difficulties with Mail's anemic rules. For example, for my family mailbox, I set a condition where "Sender is member of Group" "Family" that I set up in Address book. So far so good, but since I want this to grab sent messages to family as well, I need an "Any Recipient is member of Group" condition, which doesn't exist. The only way I can see to do this is to manually add all my family members' individual e-mail addresses as separate "any" conditions. That would make the rule look like this:
If "any" of the following conditions are met:
"Sender is member of Group" "Family"
"Any Recipient" "Contains" "[email protected]"
"Any Recipient" "Contains" "[email protected]"
"Any Recipient" "Contains" "[email protected]"
"Any Recipient" "Contains" "[email protected]"
etc.
Perform the following actions:
"Move Message" to mailbox: "Family"
Of course, what it SHOULD be is this:
If "any" of the following conditions are met:
"Sender is member of Group" "Family"
"Any Recipient is member of Group" "Family"
Perform the following actions:
"Move Message" to mailbox: "Family"
This one is tripping me up a bit, and I'm not sure how to use address book groups effectively for sent messages. This is also an issue for some of my work project e-mails, since conceivably I'd be sending messages to and receiving messages from the same group of people. For larger projects, my list could grow enough to where I can't add anymore conditions to the rule, which I know is a well-discussed bug (or lack of good coding anyway). Nevertheless, it seems that in order to capture a message with a specific e-mail address, I need to have two conditions for each address, one "from" and one "any recipient". That kinda stinks, and I'd like to find a better way to do it. Any ideas?
Right now my last rules are to clean up any messages left over that the other rules didn't catch. It makes the color a bit darker and moves the messages to the appropriate "other" mailbox for that account. This ensures that my inbox is always empty. It also keeps my sent mailboxes cleaned out as well. Since I will get CC's of all my sent messages, I can just change my account preferences to delete sent messages after a day or a week.
That's it for the heavy moving and lifting. With a few of my extra accounts that don't need any special filtering and moving around, I was able to accomplish this with about 30 rules. There's 2 rules per account at the top of the list to color and flag incoming and outgoing messages, and two rules per account at the bottom of the list to file any messages that don't meet the criteria for any of the other mailboxes. All the actual filing away into specific mailboxes happens in the rules in the middle of the list. What I really need to do though is figure out a way to simplify some of the conditions in those filing rules, like the family issue I mentioned above.
I have set up a few smart mailboxes to display all my unread messages, recent received mail, recent sent mail, all recent mail, all received mail, all sent mail, and all mail. The "All Mail" mailbox's criteria are just that the message is not in one of my junk mail folders. This is my fail-safe, since even if something is mis-categorized or even unfiltered, I will still see it here. "All Sent Mail" collects all messages that are flagged. Flagging is the only way I can find to view just sent messages without having separate "sent" subfolders in all mailboxes. A benefit to doing it this way is that if I add or change any of my hard mailboxes, I don't have to edit the smart mailbox to keep it current. I can hid the flag column and it won't reappear by itself, so I don't have to see the flag. "All Received Mail" is the tricky one. As mentioned elsewhere on the forum, you can't set up a smart mailbox to get messages that are NOT in another smart mailbox. This rule needs to include all messages that are not in the "All Sent Mail" smart mailbox or any of my junk folders. I tried the trick at first where you pick "Message is in Mailbox" and then select your smart mailbox, then go back and change the criteria to "Message is not in Mailbox". When I'd close the rule though, the smart mailbox I chose in the pull-down menu would change to a different one, and the logic would fail. I got it to work by trashing my smart mailboxes .plist file and just remaking them. That did the trick. The rest of my smart mailboxes just add a time limit to their list of criteria to keep the list shorter, and the unread smart mailbox is self-explanatory.
So what these smart mailboxes do is they let me see anything from just my unread messages to every single message I've ever sent or received in one window. They're all colored accurately and sortable by sent versus received. If I keep my "Recent Received Mail" mailbox as the active one, it looks just like my inbox did before I changed all this stuff around. The only difference is that this particular mailbox automatically displays only messages from the last 3 months, and I don't have to manually clean it up every so often. This makes opening mail itself and navigating recent messages quicker. In the end, I can still see the messages the same way I always have been, but since they're all stored in different hard mailboxes I'll be able to avoid the 2GB limit by keeping everything well categorized. Nevertheless, the logic required to make this all work is quite cumbersome, and I worry about it not working correctly down the road as Mail is updated. I'd appreciate any thoughts you all have on making this work better, and about my family rule problem.
Thanks all

> As to marking sent messages versus received, if you didn't do that,
how would you be able to tell them apart easily?
It’s the need to tell them apart that I don’t understand...
You'd want to be able to tell them apart for the same reasons
you'd want to tell anything apart.
But I can already easily tell them apart without having to tag, colorize, or store them in separate mailboxes, so why waste an attribute of a message to store redundant information? It’d be better to reserve that attribute for storing information that cannot be made readily available by other means, e.g. subjective properties such as the importance of the message that you mention.
One instance I can site is if someone asks "did you send me such-and-such?"
In that case, I can, for example, type the first letters of the name or address of that person in the search box, then click All Mailboxes and To in the banner that appears between the toolbar and the message list. Mail shows me what I’m looking for without me having to leave the mailbox I was looking at nor wonder on which specific mailbox are those messages actually stored. Having all those messages tagged or colorized the same way would be useless or even distracting/annoying.
Unless you have a specific mailbox for storing only the correspondence with that person AND you can easily locate and select that mailbox amongst all the other mailboxes, I don’t see how could it be more convenient looking through a mailbox where messages can be told apart based on whether they’re sent or received but not on who sent/received them...

Colored messages in Mail

I was playing around with the settings in Mail and I've tested the Rule config in Mail and created a color mail from 'Joe' in Red and 'Alan' in Green
This works.
I then removed those rules, but after restarting Mail, the messages are STILL colored in those colors!
I then tried to create a new rule in the hope of overwriting the old ones: color mail from 'Joe' in Blue
This seems to confuse mail as the messages from 'Joe' are still in red!
Its annoying when the entire screen is in red (when you filter the messages under From)
I've tried to back up the mail and import it to another user, but this results in the same colors being kept (akes sense as its a copy)
I just want it to go back to the usual no-colors
Can anyone Help!
I'm using Mail v 2.1
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Messages don't appear in a particular color because there is a rule that says so. They appear in a particular color because that attribute of the message was changed at some point. The message color doesn't go away when removing the rule that changed it, just like destroying a brush doesn't change the color of anything that was painted with it.
Rules aren't settings that are continuously evaluated for every message. They are automatically evaluated only once for each incoming message when it arrives, and can be manually applied to any message every time you wish.
You can remove the color of those messages by manually applying to them a rule that changes the color again (i.e. by "painting" them again):
1. Go to Preferences > Rules, and setup a rule as follows:
If [any] of the following conditions are met:
[Every Message]
Perform the following actions:
[Set Color] [of text] [Black]
If what you want to remove is the background color instead, the action of the rule should be:
[Set Color] [of background] [White]
2. When done, Mail will ask you whether you want to apply the rules (all the active rules, including the junk filter) to all the messages currently being displayed. Click Yes only if you really want to do that. Otherwise, click No.
3. Select the messages you want to remove the color from. Note the number of messages currently in the mailbox.
4. Do Message > Apply Rules.
5. Check that no message has disappeared as a result. If the number of messages in the mailbox is less than it was before applying the rules, that means one of the other rules (maybe the junk filter) has moved some of those messages somewhere.
6. Either get rid of the rule or just uncheck the Active checkbox next to it in the rules list when done. There is no point in keeping that rule active if you no longer need it.

Can't get message from mailbox in shell script

I'm using the shell-script workaround for the problem of creating messages from scripts run by a Mail rule. Can't seem to get the syntax right for getting a message passed from the main routine:
Main
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages
repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
set theID to id of eachMessage
set theBox to name of mailbox of eachMessage
set theAccount to "none"
try
set theAccount to name of account of mailbox of eachMessage
end try
do shell script "osascript Users/dave/Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail/exp.scpt " & theID & " " & theBox & " " & theAccount
end repeat
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
using terms from application "Mail"
on run
tell application "Mail" to set sel to selection
tell me to perform mail action with messages (sel)
end run
end using terms from</pre>
Shell
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">on run TheArgs
using terms from application "Mail"
set theID to item 1 of TheArgs
set theBox to item 2 of TheArgs
set theAccount to item 3 of TheArgs
if theAccount = "none" then
set theMessage to (message of mailbox theBox) whose id is (theID as integer)
else
set theMessage to (message of mailbox theBox of account theAccount) whose id is (theID as integer)
end if</pre>
The conditional is so I can test by selecting messages from either my Inbox or other boxes. Either way, though I get runtime errors like: "Can’t get «class mssg» of «class mbxp» \"INBOX\" of «class mact» \"David\" whose id of it = \"19111\". (-1728)"
I've tried variations, but nothing seems to work.
BTW, how does one view events or results in a shell script? Neither its window nor the main routine's show anything, and even "log" statements in the shell seem to go nowhere.

I think I understand what's going wrong. If I select a message in my Inbox, the shell statement
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theMessage to (message 1 of mailbox theBox of account theAccount) whose id is (theID as integer)</pre>
works. If I select a message from an On My Mac box, though, I can't get theAccount in Main in the first place because there's no account associated with those boxes. That's why I set up the "try" in Main and the conditional in the shell. I see now that
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theBox to name of mailbox of eachMessage</pre>
in Main yields only the name of the box -- any containers it may have are omitted. Therefore,
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theMessage to (message 1 of mailbox theBox) whose id is (theID as integer)</pre>
fails if there are any containers. So, I need a "set theBox" statement in Main that produces a proper path to the message, regardless of where it's located. If I can formulate that, a single "set theMessage" in the shell will suffice, without having worry about whether there's an account. I've experimented with "path to" and will continue casting about, but if the solution is apparent to you, please let me know.
BTW: Echo was a worthwhile "little diversion" for me, because it's led me to a better understanding of what "do shell script" does (i.e., it executes a UNIX command as if it was typed into Terminal) and why it solves the message-creation problem (i.e., it runs the named script as a process that's separate from Mail). I suppose that was obvious to you and many others, but it wasn't to me, despite reading what the AS Language Guide says about it, plus a few Google hits for "osascript." So thank you for that.
One thing I don't understand, though: If I change the command to "echo $1 $2 $3", nothing appears in Terminal. (I can produce files the way you showed just fine.)

What's the difference between Smart Mailboxes and Rules?

I want to segrate all the spam I get from Apple and others from my real email. I can do this with Smart Mailboxes or Rules (move to mailbox). What is the difference as far as results? Is there any? Advantages and disadvantages?
Thanks!

Smart Mailboxes don't have actions attatched. Basicly, a search feature showing results. You attatch certain criteria to them for what you want to see. They are useful if you have a lot of mail and want to quickly view certain criteria like a certain sender, over a certain age, etc. The messages remain in their original mailbox.
Example: message recieved greater that 365 days. Shows all messages in this criteria for the mailboxes included in the criteria. Messages can be selected and for instance, deleted from there.
Rules are applied to messages downloaded to your inbox. Rules are made for specific criteria you choose, and then you create an action for those messages in that rule.
Example: Criteria-Message from people in my address book ** Action- Set font color to blue. Any message downloaded to your inbox from people in your address book will have a blue font color.
If you choose a move action, then the message will be actually moved from the inbox to whatever you specify.
You can create a rule and look at the criteria you can set and the actions you can perform.

Problem with rules in mail.app

I've just started having a problem with my rules in mail.app that I just don't understand. I have several rules that I've had working for quite a while now, over a year. All of a sudden beginning about a month ago, some of them -- different ones at different times -- stop working and the incoming mail goes into my main mail box and don't get distributed according to the rules to the appropriate mail boxes.
When I check the rules, all of which are basically the same: If any of the following conditions are met, From contains XXX, Perform the following actions: Move message to mailbox xxx, I see that mailbox XXX has changed from what it should be to some other mailbox name which is a valid name but not the one that I originally put in the rule.
To make it a bit more strange, the rule with the wrong mailbox name is not executed and the mail winds up in my main mailbox.
When I edit the rule and change the mailbox name and am asked whether I want to apply the rule and I respond yes, the rule executed and the mail that landed in the main mailbox gets distributed the way it should.
But then anywhere from a day to a week later the same thing happens, that is, the mailbox name in the rule somehow gets changed again.
Has anyone seen this behavior before and/or have any suggestions for fixing it?

Are you really on 10.8.1 as per your profile - maybe updating to 10.8.3 might help.

Display number of unread and read messages in mailboxes?

Hiya,
Can I get Mail to list the total messages in a mailbox in the column on the left? I have a smart-mailbox for "flagged" items and I'd like to be able to see how many things are in it, while I'm sorting things in my inbox.
There's an unanswered post here, "Display number of messages in mailboxes?" that's been archived. Is there an answer to this?
I suppose I could install Dockstar or Docktopus and try to customise Mail's dock icon. But I don't don't know if they can do "non-read" messages, and I keep the dock hidden normally. Can Mail do it easily for me, with your help?

The Dockstar folks were nice, but said they can't do this yet. Anybody else?

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)

Unity - How do I turn off voicemail message "your mailbox is almost full"?

We recently set a mailbox limit on our exchange server. Some users are over the limit until they deuce their mailbox size. When they check their messages via the 7940 "messages" button, they get the message "Your mailbox is almost full?etc" before it will playback their messages. Once they get their mailbox under 90% of the limit the messages will go away. My question is how do I turn off the message? I realize the message is a "good thing", but even if it's a system (all off) setting, please post. I did find how keep outside users that are calling in from hearing that they can't leave a message because the person they're trying to contact has a full mailbox, so that's not what I'm looking for. I?m just trying to find out how to keep the user with the new limit from hearing that every time.
We are running Unity 4.2(1)

You can disable this in the registry. This is not a Cisco documented or recommended option. I have done it for customers who were really adament about the notifications.
Here are the steps to do on your Unity server. Again I want to stress I'm not sure if this is Cisco supported but it's a simple change that requires no reboot.
1. Backup your windows registry
2. Open regedit
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Active Voice\MalEx\1.0
4. Open the REG_DWORD DisableStatusCheck
5. Change the value from 0 to 1
This should take effect right away. This is a universal system all off for the Unity server only. Exchange is not effected.

Move of mailbox with over 30K of folders fails, how to deal with this.

Hello all,
I'm in the process of moving all Exchange 2010 mailboxes to newly created databases located on new storage.
Every mailbox except one moved successfully, the "problem" mailbox keeps failing and I need some advise on how to deal with this.
The mailbox that keeps failing is only 4 GB but has over 30K of folders that the users created manually over the years.
They are unable to easelly delete folders as they have created many sub folders within the folders.
I posted a part of the failed move request log below.
Can anyone advise on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on the description, please run the following commands to check if there are any message limit size. Try to increase the limit size then move this mailbox.
Get-mailbox –identity “user name” | fl MaxSendSize,MaxReceiveSize
Get-transportconfig | fl MaxSendSize,MaxReceiveSize
Get-transportrule | fl MessageSizeOver
Get-sendconnector | fl MaxMessageSize
Get-receiveconnector | fl MaxMessageSize
Note: Once we increased the value we need to wait for the AD replication and cache to be cleared and then test the move mailbox.
If this doesn’t work, please try to move mailbox with the skip corrupted items. This will skip the corrupted items and move only the good items to the target mailbox.
