"Copy All Mail To:" sends 2 copies of each e-mail

I am working on enabling an archive of all e-mail on our small business' 10.6.8 e-mail server. I was thrilled to find the "Copy All Mail To:" option in Server Admin. I setup an archive account, and entered it in the copy all mail to section of server admin. The problem I am having is that this setting is sending 2 copies of each e-mail the system processes to the e-mail address I specify.
I have found several discussions saying the fix for this is to add the following line to /etc/postfix/main.cf
receiveoverrideoptions = noaddressmappings
I have successfully added this to my main.cf (made a backup first) also successfully issued the "sudo postfix reload" command afterwards.
But still I am seeing 2 of each incoming and outgoing message relayed to my Archive e-mail address. Any ideas on what I am missing?
Thanks,
Blake

Try...
receive_override_options = no_address_mappings
Personally, I put this in the master.cf file. As an addition to the existing no_header_body_checks so (probably last line in file) looks like...
127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - y - - smtpd
<other stuff here>
-o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_address_mappings
DOn't know which location would be preferred though.

Can't un-tick "Copy all mail to:"

Hi,
I've just finished setting up mail in OS X Server 10.4.8 after changing over from MS Exchange.
To check test emails were ariving OK, I ticked "Copy all mail to:" and entered a hotmail address.
Now everthing is working I un-ticked "Copy all mail to:" but when ever I click "save" the tick re-appears and the hotmail address in automatically entered.
I've tried stoping and starting the service but the problems remains.
Could any help.
Thanks in advance.

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
look for:
always_bcc = [email protected]
Delete or comment the line.
Restart mail service.

Copying all mail and folders from one mac to another

I have a pop account that loads to my imac. all the mail is sorted into folders and kept there till needed. is it possible to take all the mail on my imac and transfer it to my macbookpro so i have all my files sorted when i go on trips? can i either upload it or do it through .mac? i thought i could just archive the whole thing like in entourage and reopen it, but i haven't found a way to do that yet. Can you help?

All your mail and mail attaachments are in /Users/inahayes/Library/Mail and /Users/inahayes/Library/Mail Downloads (unless you set up your Mail downloads to be saved somewhere else). While not hte most elegant of solutions, conceivably, you could manually afp-mount one computer onto the other's desktop (⌘k or ⇧⌘k in Finder) and drag those two folders to the corresponding /Users/inahayes/Library folder on the MBP. When you return from your trip, do the same thing in the opposite direction. However, an imap account would eliminate this problem, if you have the ability to migrate to an imap account.

Why is my live account on my iPad sending 2 copies of each email

WWhy when I send a email on my live account from my iPad is it sending the email twice what can I do too stop this

"Other" is all of your app data, files and documents, bookmarks, Safari History, emails, Notes, Calendars, Contacts, photos associated with contacts, your Camera Roll or Saved Album in the Photos app - non purchased content. You need your "other" but it should not become bloated to more than .75GB in most cases. That is a sign that the sync went screwy.
The last resort is to restore the iPad, but quite often another sync, restart or a reset will clear it up as well.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Copy all email sent to a user.

Lady that works for us has a stalker.
Boss wants me to copy all email she sends and all email she receives to a different mailbox on the same message store.
I don't really want to make channel filter and stick it on tcp_submit,tcp_local, tcp_intranet, tcp_auth.
Is there a better way?

Where are all Mail Pref files ?

Hello,
my hd crash last week, i bought e new one and install a new OS.
Today my apple reseller succeded in recovering all my files of my old disk.
Now i would like to copy all Mail Pref files into the right place so i can recover my Mail like one week ago. I know that somes of the files are in Users>Me>Library>Mail but it's not enought my accounts are not set up !
I've also .emlx files in .mbox folders that i want to add to my Mail software, but i didn't succeed
Somebody can guide me in the dark area of Mail
Thx a lot

Hello Anterak.
The other participants have already answered the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist part.
I've also .emlx files in .mbox folders that i want
to add to my Mail software, but i didn't succeed
Could you please be more precise about this? You should be able to import these into Mail by doing File > Import Mailboxes, choosing Mail for Mac OS X, and following the instructions. Note that Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the *.mbox folders, rather than the *.mbox folders themselves.

Mail Problem - copying every email I send to inbox

I am using mail to access and send mail through my gmail account. For some reason, the other day, I started seeing copies of every email I replied to showing up in my inbox. Actually, it's my "All Mail" box because I've never found an "Inbox" on the Mac Mail program. Anyone know how to fix this?
Before anyone asks: I'm not CCing myself. I already checked. When I click "Reply" the cc and bcc lines are blank. However, when I send the message I get a copy of it about 2 minutes later.
Sure could use some help!
Nick

Google Mail's 'All Mail' box includes sent mail so that's correct.
When using Mac mail you have access to the google mail boxes but they are below the Mail apps Mailboxes incl Inbox, Sent, Trash, Junk and drafts if you have any.
Maybe you just need to reset the mail app in Mail Preferences or I believe you can set up Mac Mail through Google too.
Best.

Help with Rules to Copy all Sent and Received Mail

Friends:
1. I have created a rule to copy all sent mail to a folder as follows:
mail>prefs>rules>add rule>description:All Sent Mail>To Contains @>Coppy Message to All Sent Mail folder
Is there a better way to do this?
2. Similarly I tried the above for a folder "All Received Mail" replacing "To" to "From" but it doesn't work. What is a good way to copy all sent mail?
Thanks amigos,
Migs

I have been using
If Any Account is <Account in question> then Copy message to <local archive folder>
It has its quirks (I have it as the last rule in the list) but for the most part is sort of working to make copies of incoming mails.
It does not copy outgoing mails.
It would be nice if Mail offered some sort of "copy on send, copy on receive" functionality in the preferences for those of us who don't trust the "cloud" to not reach into our computers and delete our mail (as happened when our IMAP server ran out of disk space once).

Copy all incoming and outgoing mail to an additional mailbox

Is there a means to copy all incoming and outgoing email through the Apple Mail server to one inbox? As an example, Bob sends and email to Jeff and receives a reply. I want a copy of each of those emails to, say, [email protected] Is there a means within the server config or some other method to accomplish this?

Help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I moved from an old macbook to a new one. I copied all my files onto a hard drive. On trying to setup my mail, i went into documents, microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it. Urgent help pls

I moved from an old macbook to a new one. I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive. On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it. Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable. I desperately need to access my old mail. How do I do this? I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook. Is there a way for me to search for the Database file? Maybe I copied it to a different location? Urgent help please.

Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:

and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

Email sometimes only in All mail other times normal mailbox..same sender

Can anyone solve this dilemma ... sometimes an email will go into ALL Mail and other times the email from the same sender will appear in the normal email inbox.. very annoying... the only way I know the email is there if I am checking on my macbook or Ipad... only happens on Iphone.. any ideas

According to the gmail support, the All Mail folder is where you archive your mail when you try to delete from the Inbox. Does this address what you are asking?
No, the "All Mail" also shows the contents of the inbox, sent mail, and archived (trashed) mail when viewed in the Gmail App. In the iOS Mail Gmail account, what shows in the All Mail folder is random.

Time machine only copies User Info and Users (Applications, Library, and System are missing) from my quad core Mac Pro. 45 Gb of 162 Gb are missing. Any one having success with time machine copying all folders using Mavericks?
What do I need to do differently?

The late, great Pondini was investigating that issue before he passed away.
See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5125969
I think there might be information there on how to reset Time Machine to do a full backup. I think you basically have to reset it and start over.

How to make a safe copy of all mails or to export these?

Hello, I'n newbie on Mac OS X. I've been wondering how to make a safe copy of all mails in my inbox or to export all of them, like on Outlook with the function "Export". I don't find such function under MAIL. Can you please help me? Thanks
Best regards.

Hi
Welcome to Mac Computing.
The folder holding your e-mail plus mailboxes etc. is located (via the Finder) in your User Account>Library>Mail folder. You can copy this folder to external media, such as another hard drive, or CD/DVD.
If you want to save specific e-mails, follow these directions from Mail's Help section (Help Menu):
Exporting email messages:
You can save one or more messages as a separate file to archive messages or to import the contents into another application. You can open the saved message in TextEdit.
Open the message you want to export.
Choose File > Save As, and enter a name for the file.
Choose a location for the file from the Where pop-up menu.
Choose a format from the pop-up menu.
If you choose Rich Text Format, the text formatting of the message will be visible.
If you choose Plain Text, the colors, fonts, and other formatting will be lost.
If you choose Raw Message Source, the full delivery headers will be visible. If the message has attachments, you'll only see the encoded version of the attached files.
A Good way to familiarize yourself with OS X is to pick up a copy of Scott Kelby's book OS X Tiger: Killer Tips.
